Beautiful music. This is truly art. How come we don't hear music like this on the radio??? Oh nooo we're stuck with idiots like JB, Beyonce and all those other artless fools.
Yoko Kanno has a soul made of finely tuned wavelengths created by divine hands. There's no way everything she writes could be this good without her being like part angel or something.
I like the song but why did it have to be a soundtrack for Rahxephon I watched the series didn't like it to much so I didn't bother with the movie this song would've been so much more satisfying for me if they put it on a better mecha anime like eureka 7, or neon genesis evangelion, plus it would've fit perfectly on either one but the song itself is awesome
Yutaka Izubuchi's vision of rahxephon was a story of lovers torn seperated by time, hence lovers of lost dimensions. The choice for this tune is that it's originally a song from the musical "kismet" in which a commoner falls in love with a princess. Although maaya sakamoto's lyrics in the refrain are closer to the original by borodin, which describes longing for the loved homeland. It's a leitmotif.
What makes the song beautiful is the combination of Maya Sakamoto, Steve Conte and the excellent music. If you're a god damn faggot, sure Maya Sakamoto is the only thing going on... Except for the fact that Steve Conte leads the fucking song all the way through.
The soft melody of Stranger in Paradise really helps make this...music really keeps me in it for the long run sometimes. Such beautiful things we can make.
i always use this song to have a personal time alone or studying. XD it's a very beautiful song! i love the combination of the emotional male voice and the gentle, melodic female voice. :)
I can remember first hearing this song: the lyrics, the melody, the smooth transition that starts at 3:24 between Steve and Maaya...truly a song worth listening to again and again. Oh and this song perfect fits the Rahxephon movie! :D
...... I've stayed up an hour past my bedtime just listening to Steve Conte's music. It's just that good. I need an MP3 player so I can listen to his songs when I go to bed.

live always ruins it , you got the screaming fans and the ediots making pointless noise and what not , not to mention they rehearsed this and kept going till it was perfect, recordings are better, but i would honestly like to see a live video , but have the record music playing
thats what i think! kidz bop ruins all the songs, who wants to hear kids sing ? i dont realy care for hannah montanna , shes a madonna wannabe, and the jonas brothers are just another bad copy of n-sync or back street boys
It's only awful when it's an amateur shot and/or if the band is any good at all live. Watch Muse's song Knights of Cydonia live at the Wembly. It's pitch perfect and professionally shot. Also, you explained why I don't like studio versions. I can't tell you how many times I've been disappointed with a band when they had a great album and are an atrocious band live. Which means they can't get their act together on the first try, which means they suck...most of the time.
ho my god just love this song soooooo much!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! since 2006 i discovered it,i can't stop listening to this song!!! maaya sakamoto rocks (steve conte too but i'm a big fan of maaya^^)
ooooooh gods! Steve is so friggin HOT...and its even hotter listening to his voice...wow! He's truelly talneted! And so is Maaya. Beautifully breath taking....
OMG if they did have a kid that would be heaven in my ears...i love their voices together. i just got into steve conte's music and this is just beautiful
It's because Steve's voice is more harsh and deep while Maya's voice is sweet and soothing. They have different styles. Steve voice just stands out more that's all.
Maaya is singing a harmony part to his melody in most sections. If she were any louder, she'd start to muddy up the melody, though her voice is very pretty. Notice when they sing at the same time and she is singing in Japanese, his voice is slightly softer. Good mixing there. =)
People should hear the song "Stranger in Paradise" sung by Tony Bennett (actually known as the Polovetsian Dances) and they'll recognize the tune that Sakamoto uses in the chorus. Beautifully haunting.
I'm just thinking of how cute they were to be if they actually were involved in a relationship. Their voices are heavensent and blended make the most beautiful music. Yoko Kanno is as always a genius. Bravo!
Thanks 4 uploading it! This song is absolutely beautiful, is really touching! All of it!! Steve Conte and Maaya Sakamoto and Yoko Kano really rock hard!! T.T Hope to see them on live perfomance T.T :/
