  • 1 thing i hate about YouTube

    there's no auto-replay

  • 10 people are definitely jealous.  You rock Kate!!

  • 10 people either

    1. missed the "like" button.

    2. are f**kng insane.

    3.are being jealous.

    Kate, you are amazing! you are amazingly talented, and i me and my mother are huge fans of your music! (Especially your final fantasy IX covers :D) thank you so much for sharing this with the world.

  • Memories... q,q best story in a game or book i ever saw (and there were many)... Xenogears is a must if you love RPGs, so is this remix. A humble surface dweller says thank you for a truly wonderful piece of art =)

  • It is amazing how no matter what is going on in my life I can always listen to you sing this song and calm down. Thanks katethegreat19.

  • Oh Xenogears, it's been a long time since I played that. Grr, I was young and never finished it!

  • You have the voice of a goddess, Kate. This has to be my favorite of all your songs :]

  • You simply Need to be heard youtube is not enough I would listen to the radio if you were on it besides the rest of the crap they play now n days. Much respect plz keep doing what you do

  • Like the game was, this song is a masterpiece. I realy love your work kate :)

  • this is an amazing and i can say for a good reason that i enjoy your version more. Its beautiful!

  • You have great voice

  • Shankhan and Gebler made 10 accounts to dislike

  • You deserve so many more views.

  • Completely Beautiful in every way with every instrument, the locals are just incredible and i think the language created is magical.

    - small note- you spelled "Mitsuda" wrong in the discription... i must listen to this too much -.-

  • Definetely the best song of Kate... May I suggest a beatiful song to cover?

    It's You Were There... The main theme of Ico. Listen to it on YT if you have time Kate... it's really a beatiful song and I believe that you can make a good version of it...

  • @christiancagecharism totally second this motion :D

  • Wow. Great Voice :) i listened to Sally's Song by you and just listened to about 10 of your songs and you have one of the most beautiful voices i've ever heard. By the end of these next few days i think ill have all your songs liked lol. Great Job.

  • I Loved Xenogears to death. The story was probably one of the best Square has ever done, the musical was amazing. You have done this piece proper justice. I would love to hear you create a rendition of the Kingdom of Zeal Theme from Chrono Trigger.

  • Had to stop here too after listening to Aerith's Theme :D

    I just... wow. This piece. The melody takes me away and makes me feel something no other piece of music does. You did such an amazing job with it. The chorus and every instrument come together so flawlessly and are so enchanting. It is exceedingly beautiful. :'D

  • I love it!

  • FOUND IT!!!!!!! Heehee I was just looking in the wrong place

  • I have listened to this song over and over again, and it never ceases to amaze me at its beauty. The violin part is absolutely amazing and my favorite part!

  • what are the videos from

  • by chance i came upon your page and i have to say you work beauty. i love your creation. thank you for sharing your gift with us. best of luck

  • I played Xenogears for the first time around 97-98, and I was floored. It changed my fragile teenage mind! I played it only twice after that, but have kept the soundtrack close to me since then. When I came upon this video it unleashed a torrent of memories. I started crying when Bart appeared, I had completely forgotten him.

    As to your actual vocals and music.... man, it was really freaking good. I would download it and add it to my Yasunori Mitsuda folder in a heartbeat.

  • The first few seconds, I almost stopped listening, but not I can't stop listening to this wonderful rendition. I'm gonna listen to more of your work! :-)

  • I love Xenogears and you nailed this. First and possibly only lyrical version out there. I will defiantly be making this one of my favorite songs to listen to.

  • wow, your voice is so beautiful!!! and i love this one and Sally's Song the best but all of your videos are amazing!!!!!

  • *facepalm* derp of course it's professional-quality, you're a singer-songwriter person (if not at the time you recorded this, you were still well on your way there). I guess this song was just so awesome it blew out my few remaining brain cells.

  • This isn't just awesome, it's professional-quality.

    (And actually, the original in-game version was kinda boring, especially compared to this. Though I dunno if there have been any official performances/remixes.)

  • what languages do you know?

  • *sniff* Your work is so beautiful, it makes me tear up! I hope you keep making these, though I have no idea if you are still making fan works or not!

  • Comment removed

  • Wow. Wonderful voice and you did an amazing job with the arrangement. You are truly talented. My hat's off to you! If I had a hat. I'm impressed. Kate the great? Certainly! Added to one of my special playlists "The Talented Few"

  • wait a minute. You performed the singing AND all the instruments?? holy CRAP. You are one talented girl. AMAZING.

  • I usually hate random Youtube covers but I was seriously blown away. This is really really good. Like, really really good.

    I never heard the original so I don't know if it's as good or better, but I think it speaks far more for itself where I consider a fan cover so professional.

    I'll say it once more: was blown away.

  • you have such an elegant voice well done. when i hear this i get chills in my spine thats how i know it is well done.

  • Out of all the songs you have done Kate, this has been and always will be my favourite! Just looove the drums & especially the Violin. You reeeealllyyyy need to do more Violin piecies; your a fantastic violinist!! (Plus it's my fave instrument along with the lovely Viola <3 heheee) xxx

  • @garnet2424 ^ I really should use my violin more @.@ I rarely get it out to record and I don't know why! xD

  • @katethegreat19 Please do!! I would love to hear you play :D xxxx

  • I feel like my life is complete after hearing this. <3

    Beautiful, just beautiful.

  • I love this cover so much.

  • Comment removed

  • Okay... no one shoot me please.... I've never even heard of Xenogear's Bonds of Sea and Fire.... Can someone please tell me what it's about?

  • This is one of my favourite pieces from you ^___^ The lyrics are so good. I love lyrics in fantasy languages (I try to write my own... it's hard! XD) Your violin skills are just adorable! The arrangement is perfect (the drum part is so exciting!) It gives me goosebumps. And your voice is so absolutely perfect for this song! It's a masterpiece :D

  • You have such a beautiful voice! I'm so jealous. T_T 

  • I stopped listening to fan-songs a long time ago because I never heard any which I really liked, but your singing and everything is amazing~! I've listened to 2 of your songs now: Aerith's theme and this one. I love that you did this Xenogears song, I don't know many who love this game. Please keep singing ^o^

  • would be a travesty if they remade this game unless they copied it identically and just upgraded the graphics. But knowing the japanese they'll throw in a shit ton of otaku bull shit... case in point the ninja soldiers from Metal Gear solid 4... that shit could gag a maggot.

  • I remember playing this when i was a kid, i still find myself playing this masterpiece.

  • I miss this game, I wish I was a kid again playing RPGs on my old Playstation!

  • wow i hadnt known you did a sea and fire : D

    love this song, love your rendition even more, and i may regret asking this again lol but i dont suppose you have sheets for this? : P

  • 1:50 is where the song really starts, then it almost makes me cry.

  • Comment removed

  • You have a beautiful voice.

    

  • i did the right thing to come here....

    its sounds almost official!

  • Listening to this makes chills run through my spine.

  • Your voice is amazing! I love your music!

  • Wow, either you're lying when you said you did the vocals yourself, or you're freaking amazing. I'm really impressed...

  • Simply beautiful, Kate! This was my favorite game of all time... the song and the video both made this outstandingly enjoyable. Any chance you'd intend to do any other songs from Xenogears?

  • absolutely divine! No other words....Divine...Godly

  • oops i posted two almost the same comments

    this is how amazed i am lol :)

  • I cant describe with words how perfect this song is

    your voice

    its a gift from god

    i dont really listen to this kind of music..but now i do :)

    this is amazing

    i love it

  • Tears....Love it that much

  • You are certainly very great kate!

  • awwwwww syit, this is really epic!!!!!! you must be a real someone out there!!!! i really love your work!

  • I first discovered you on a final fantasy itunes radio station. I love you, I love you, I love you.

  • beautiful!!! you are the best!!

  • Thank you for this wonderful piece of time.. thank you for making it a gift to this world.. thank you for carrying on the "spirit"

    much love

    -a humble land dweller-

  • It's ironic that I'm replyaing Xenogears right now on my psp, this is an awesome cover! You should totally do more Xenogears stuff, perhaps June Mermaid?

  • @yojimarusilverfang I SECOND THAT

  • 8 people wouldn't know talent if it bit them in the ass.

    You are amazing.

  • Wow.

  • Awesome ! This is really beautiful ! Yasunori Mitsuda would be proud.

  • omg i feel the emotion so good i think im crying

  • Your voice is so beautiful! ;w; How are you not professional? You really should be ; your voice is better than some of the singers we have that ARE professional now.

  • It boggles my mind that this doesn't have millions of hits >:(

  • I love this game so much. And as always the vocals and arrangement of your music is top notch. Thanks for posting this! :D

  • !!! ^_^ !!!

  • tears.. Beautiful

  • This is... really really wonderful.

    I mean, you made alone a better work than Square-Enix.

    Send them your songs, you will be a star in no time.

  • i love what you did to this song

    its awesome!!!

    after listen to this I instantly sub n like your facebook page

    so do you mind if i ask you to cover more xenogears song? :3

  • I know its completely unrelated but the first two mins of the song and vid reminded me waaay too much of Delita from FFT. It was great. as for eaverything else, I'm breath taken as always

  • Thanks to you and your cover of this song, I have now just spent $29.99 on a used copy of Xenogears without any idea of what to expect. Thank you. Oh...and what happens to the home village and Alice and Timothy within the first half hour...wow! Just...wow! Anyway, thanks for introducing me to this game. I'm sure it'll take up the next few months of my life.

  • @caldwin Believe me, you won't regret it. You'll only wonder why you didn't play it before ;-)

  • Comment removed

  • I have been practicing singing covers of your covers for pure fun of course, and. I really really like your choice of songs I see we share in common like like of many of the same artists, movies, games and such. I hope I can hear you do a cover of one of Origa's songs, RURUTIA perhaps? Also if you havent checked out Fuushigi Yugi by Yu Wastase I hope you do so!

  • Um. Phenomenal. Instantly subscribed. Your work... It's gorgeous.

    Thank you, a million times thank you for the inspiration. Not only from this, but from your work with the Violin. I'm in awe as perfection was supposed to be this impossible thing. You're giving that word a damn run for its money, I'll tell you that.

  • Just like Xenogears, I believe that this song also deserves a sequel. I think that another song in the Aveh language is long over due.

  • hey kathe!

    At first, Im a BIG Fan of you! You are great ^^

    And now my question:

    Can you sing/sang (?) songs from the Game "Suikoden2"? This would be very great ^^

    (sorry 4 the bad english, Im German :> )

  • Kate, maybe it's because I love Xenogears, or maybe it's because it's the first song I heard by you, but when I need cheering up I always put this song on. I think after I gave them the music, they still play some of your stuff occasionally at the local college station during their video game music hour. Even after two years. That says a lot.

  • the moment i heard her voice i was like "SUBSCRIBE LIKE ALL VIDS"...period

  • i like her

  • I dont care how u look like but what i do knw is tht im in LOVE WITH UR VOICE!!!

  • /FANGIRL SQUEAL/ 8D I love this~!

  • Good job on this cover. I loved it and downloaded your mp3 :)

  • The violin... It's really, really beautiful. It has a nice color to it, the sound I mean.

  • you know what's awesome? I've never heard of Xenogears or played it or whatever, but this song right here? makes me catch goosebumps and I really TRULY want the game now.

    my goodness your voice is beautiful :)

  • quick question...what is the song about?

  • @roxas006 the english lyrics are in the description

  • Wow...not only a beautiful song, but with a beautiful language too!

  • This is a cool song.

  • I almost didn't give you a chance because I have seen so many fan songs done badly, but I've gone through a lot of your music now, and I'm covered in goosebumps trying not to shed tears. How are you not professional? I should be buying a CD from you somewhere, or are you professional and I just don't know it yet?

  • @ToastyEmoNinja thank you very much! I am a professional musician (violinist) here in town, but my singing/songwriting/arranging has been completely youtube based.

    I'm releasing my first original CD later this month acutally, all self-produced though, no label. But I hope my youtube crowd will like it ^^

  • @katethegreat19 damnit -.- didnt mean to vote down >.< ~hits computer~ amazing stuff btw :)

  • @katethegreat19 Violinist or virtuoso? heh... I am a fan, I love the games you cover (mainly this and FF9) Do you do it all yourself or do you have help with the background beats?

  • @katethegreat19 Violinist or virtuoso? heh... I am a fan, I love the games you cover (mainly this, Chrono Cross and FF9) Do you do it all yourself or do you have help with the background beats?

  • getting the goosebumps over this..

  • Comment removed

  • This is the kind of song that sends chills up my spine. Not the bad chills, but good ones. Truly beautiful.

    Now where's my violin... I must learn to play this!!!!!!!

  • Kate, I love all your covers, I have to admit. It's hard picking a favorite, but this, Rose of May, You're Not Alone, and Aerith's Theme are probably my top picks. My question is this: did you make up the Aveh language, or did you find a translation guide somewhere (and if so where)?

    Xenogears is my all-time favorite game (though I haven't played it since my copy got worn out), and this was always one of my favorite songs, so I was excited to hear this in your covers. Keep up the awesome work.

  • @SephirothThePure  I made it up just for the cover based on what sounded really nice with the music and also following some distinctive desert-language rules ^^

  • Xenogears's bond of sea and fire is one of my fondest memories of my video game history and your vocals added a level of intensity to this piece that makes me sit here in the internet café and almost break out in tears .... wonderful!

  • @HamidKalil :D it's the same for me regarding this melody! Whenever I hear it I become extremely nostalgic... I was very insprired when I did this cover, and I'm so glad other fans of the game like it!

  • @katethegreat19 Are you kidding me!? The game and soundtrack was amazing enough.. But I never thought it could be pushed to a whole new level of astonishment like this! I LOVE IT!

  • This definitely has to be the best FMV I've seen of any game, along with the most inspiring vocals and instrumental work done by someone I've heard... all done by one person--amazing! The original version gives me chills, but this one seriously brought tears to my eyes after hearing how beautiful it sounded plus viewing all of those touching moments from the game.

    All of your pieces sound so great... I would be really happy if you were to become a composer for games someday. Keep it up! ^_^

  • @DragonslayerII thankyou so much! *o*

  • This the best version of the song I've ever heard, and I've heard many including the officials.

  • wow. that is uber impressive. you should totally like, send it over to japan or something. i'm sure they'd use it.

  • beautiful voice, beautiful playing, beautiful video.

  • Admittedly I ever thought I would see something like this...

    I looked over your Final Fantasy work, and I was in between extremes with how I felt about some of it. (Your version of You're Not Alone was very well done)

    But this... Xenogears was the most mature and intelligent game ever made, and you have done it more than justice. Yasunori Mitsuda would be proud

  • Hi Kate! Long time no see, how are you?

    I still find this so perfect...I need to get back into Xenogears!

  • So this is where your little opening sequence came from!

  • If I could write a story even half as good as this one I'd be the next Stephen King

  • Once again, you've got another favorite of mine

  • Amazing! I get a Chrono-Cross vibe from this I never noticed before. Xenogear's has an amazing soundtrack, thank you for breathing life into it again.

  • man...i need to have my interpretive acting movement teacher use this in class. i feel vulnerable and moved listening to it! amazing job!

  • This sounds AWESOME... =D

    What type of music is this? o.O Cuz I like it :D I listened to this one because the opening to your Sally's Song sounded coool. And it is GREAT =D Keep making more videos?

  • @Runningfoot2009O This is from a game soundtrack called Xenogears. She did a fancover of this song. The song is called of Bonds of Sea and Fire. The song orignally does not have words but she did this amazing cover of the song.

  • ELLY & FEI ~~<3

  • Beautiful, Just beautiful...

    thank you. ^-^ I needed to hear this again.

  • ive never seen this Show on tv but i checked it out anyway when i heard it in the intro on your Fan vocal of Youre not alone and i really love it :)

  • @shnboy Its not a show its from a game called Xenogears. its for the ps 1.

  • Kind of ... magical. You definitely put me and a lot of other people under your spell with this beautiful rendition of an already great track for a wonderful game.

    Very special. Thank you. :)

  • Majestic...

    Truly an masterpiece.

  • Really impressive. Great quality, good use of instruments and if I may say so: Beautiful voice!

    Channel subscription commencing ... :)

    Thank you for sharing such great work freely on youtube!

    And: Through what kinds of channels will you be releasing your CD? The likes of Amazon, Ebay too?

  • this is so good you are so very talented :))))

    god bless you and all

    peace

  • Sounds very...professional! I've heard fandubs before, and this sounds a lot different then them. No background noise, you can hear the voice fully. The music is wonderfully done. This almost makes it hard to believe this was made by one person. If I didn't know better I'd swear this was a remix by Mitsuda-san himself. Do you do music for a living or a hobby?

  • @Dragonstar13 Oh thankyou so much! I have my own studio that I created out of my clothes closet that helps tremendously in reducing background noise. There's a video on my channel with me recording on camera, where you can see bits of the studio, and another one where I give an actual tour of what I use and my instruments. I do this as a hobby at the moment, but I'll be releasing an original CD of my own compositions in a month or so, and then hopefully I'll be doing this for a living!

  • This is amazing. You are amazing.

  • This is amazing.

  • The song and the way you sang it really matched the game/anime. Xenogears was one of my fav robot-games....

  • This is my favorite cover by you so far! I typed it once and I'll type it again, you have an AMAZING voice!! *faints*

  • Please Square remake this game ~_~

    So that people would know about this masterpiece.

    And you would create more series because people will certainly loved it :D

  • If Square enix ever decides to remake Xenogears it be a sin not to include this version of Bonds of Sea and Fire

  • I particularly like this song. It sounds exotic and I have played Xenogears and LOVED the game. So, it's pretty awesome :) Almost wish you and I could sing a duet. I just love your stuff that much :) Awesome voice.

  • It's got a FF Crystal Chronicles kind of taste to it. =D

  • wow .this is a true work of art .gotta say this is one of my favorites .i hadnt even heard of the avehish language until i heard your voice. you sound like an angel .plz keep singing your an inspiration to hear.

  • This is a great song. Great voice.

  • Kate, you have a great voice, this song makes me feel good. Just as your Aerith's theme. Amazing pieces for us, RPG fans.

  • Absolutely, positively gorgeous. I really need to play through Xenogears again. :)

  • Great voice and well played.I love this song and you made it sound perfect.You are gifted indeed.

  • @Fearcing Thanks!! I'm very proud of what I was able to accomplish with this arrangement ^0^

  • Beautiful! This calms my down and makes me feel like I'm in a different world. No wars, no greed, no sadness, no badness. Some place where I feel safe.

    You have warmed the hearts of a lot of people ^.^ :)

  • i haven't heard all of your songs/covers (yet) but THIS IS MY FAVORITE!!! you give the lyrics a gaelic feel which is empasized by the music (done exceptionally well btw) and i can't help but say I LOVE IT I LOVE IT I LOVE IT over and over again!

  • @BlackAngel001 Thankyou!!!!! ^0^ ^0^ ^0^

    I actually consider this to by one of my best arrangements ever O.o Not sure anything I do after this will quite equal it...I was on such an inspired rush while I was working on it!

  • I want to play this game.. HOW CAN I PLAY IT?!? WHERE CAN I FIND IT!?

  • @AdoreYouInAshXI Buy it from Ebay or Amazon I guess. It's somewhat rare but it's the best RPG ever.

  • @ AdoreYouInAshXI All you need is an Emulator and to download Xenogears as a torrent or off a website.

  • @WoWFanX Can you tell me how to do that? You can send me a message, if you could please ;)

  • Kate, I,m so happy that you share all that with us.

  • Comment removed

  • holy shit you are an amazing singer

  • superb performance, i don't know if you like suikoden games, but if you could make a fan version of the song reminiscence from sikoden II, i'm sure it would sound divine.

    but this song is amongst my favorite of all time, it reminds me of childhood and a warm feeling tingles in ma heart.

  • Amazing

  • Wow that was amazing!!! I loved it alot! Only what langauge is it in? And what anime is this?

  • @jenny14711 XENOGEARS, the language is Aveh. Did you know she does all the instruments in this too? Amazing.

  • @SynesterBlack really?thats so cool

  • Just added the 777th Like. Appropriate for two reasons: the song is GODLY, and I was very lucky to find it. You're an excellent arranger, performer, singer - everything really. I really hope I can eventually come as far in my musical journey as you have. What you've accomplished musically is admirable, and it fills me with hope to find such fresh, pure brilliance somewhere in the song-sea...as it were. I could go on and on about how fantastic you are, but in short: very good job on this. <3 8D

  • I can see why this is your favorite :) beautiful voice ms. kate!

    Fan forever <3

  • omg I use to like you a lot just from beatrix but this!.. I love Xenogears so much I've played it thousands of times..and your doing its music T.T I love you....in a fan sort of way...don't worry I'll refrain from stalking you :)
