  • the real music starts when keiko starts singing <3

  • BANZAI!!!!

  • my vanity...

  • It's beautiful! *^*

  • I love the screaming!!!!

  • am I the only to notice that she massacred all the "l" syllables by pronouncing them as "r" XD but anyway how cares? the song is soooooo beautiful

  • @natsukage123 What do you expect?

  • @Perscenthe the studio version was okay tho XD

  • @natsukage123 Come on, its really hard for Japanese people to pronounce the letter L correctly since its not part of their vocabulary. It still sounds badass to me anyway!

  • hey!!!

    I wonder whether if Japanese people can distinguish R from L...

  • @a40511a012325 Japanese language doesn't have letter "L"

  • @pianoprincess478: actually the Japanese language has neither an L or an R but something between the two. Ask a Japanese to purr "rrrrrrrrrrrr" like a cat for example, they can't (like some other Asians can't either).

  • @atirasalsero Well, they do have ra, ri, ru, re, and ro (hiragana and katana for ex), so they do have r in their vocabulary, but not L at all. In Japan, you replace the letter L with R, for ex, my 1st name is Luis, so in Japanese it would be Ruisu.

  • @THANATOS112220: what you wrote there are in romaji. Romajis were created so that "gaijin"s could read Japanese texts too but originally they were not part of the Japanese language.

    Probably they felt that the letter R is the closest to the actual sound they make when pronouncing ら り る れ ろ. That doesn't mean it actually sounds like an R.

    Btw. I learned Japanese from a teacher whose mother tongue is Japanese and she told me that. It's not a clear R, believe me.

  • @atirasalsero I know what romaji are, but its also part of their language, you can clearly hear them making the r sound, either its anime/just a Japanese person singing, its just that they do it in a different way. You an also write them in hiragana/katakana, and have it in furigana as well to make it easier to read Kanji. They may have came out with that later, but it is part of their language.

  • @THANATOS112220: I said that romajis were "originally" not part of their language. And no, that R that we use does not exist in the Japanese language. Ask a native Japanese do the "rrrrawr" with long R, ask them to roll/trill the R. They can't do it because their language does not have it and so they didn't learn it. I know because I actually talked to Japanese people.

  • This song is so beautiful. I've never heard this live version before, but I think I might actually like it better than the published version. <3

  • what a perfect title for this group. Vanity.

    They often wear very beautiful gowns and the singers constantly flap their hands and 'soar' them around, they can't keep them still for a moment!

    even the pianist has this practiced maneuver she does with her hands before laying them on the keys.

  • @grrrr17 It's not that they can't keep their hands still.They do it,because that's the image of the group.You might have noticed that they stand perfectly still,as if they're not there,whenever they are not singing.As for your comment about the pianist-if you had ever played the piano,you would know that the way you place your hands on the keyboard is of the utmost importance for the sound that is going to come out of it.If you were a performer you'd also know that the stage requires costumes.

  • @tzvetabg2001

    you're saying it is necessary for her to wave her hand above the keys before she sets them down?

    she makes unnecessary motions before making the music itself, it's not of any importance except, like you said, image.

    they are all about image.

  • @grrrr17 I recommend watching closely-here I was going to use Julia Fischer-Grieg piano concerto,3rd movement as an example,but you could argue that Fischer's a violinist,so let's try Helene Grimmaud-Rachmaninov Piano concerto No.2,first movement.Notice 5:28(among other examples)?There's quite a lot of waving around,and rocking...talking to herself-all unnecessary things,but if it helps her make that music so great - I'm fine with it! (sorry,I couldn't post the links for some reason)

  • @grrrr17 They move their body around a lot to express emotion, passion, feelings...like when you're happy you feel the need to jump with joy, or angry you clench your fist. Its not that their vain. They look nice because its a concert. Can you imagine a concert where singers just stood there, still as stone, wearing nothing but old sweats and hair untidy? Would that have the same impact as what they have here?

  • @grrrr17 What a perfect word for your comment . Vanity . Everything is said .

  • @grrrr17 You're hung up about how they move? Did you even listen to the music or hear how beautiful it is? You're hung up on how a group is so passionate about singing that they have to move to express it?

  • 3:20 background voice epic!!!!!!

  • woooow! ;)

  • OMG such angels :D

  • Wakana's voice is just so heavinly! I love her <3

  • keiko's part is the best

  • This is still F'KIN BRILLIANT. Kajiura, can I marry you? Ok I'm a girl....but that's not important!! lol

    The "yeah"s in the background starting at 02:48 are so epic...hope someday I can sing like that ><

  • Holy Cow!!! Why are there so many great singers in Japan? My favorite is Kokia, but so many good singers. Akaya, Salyu, and Yuki Kajiura. It's hard to find good music in this Justin Bieber world, but thank you Japan for allowing me to enjoy your music. I must listen to more and more Japanese musicians.

  • THIS IS JUST ONE OF THE INCREDIBLE PERFORMANCES OF YUKI KAJIURA AND FICTIONJUNCTION,THEY ALWAYS PROVE THROUGH THEIR PERFORMANCES THAT THEY ARE DEFINITELY THE BEST.I JUST LOVE THE VOICE HARMONY.YUKI-SAMA WO AISHITTE!YOUR A GENIOUS.^^

    PS: I DONT THINK THAT PEOPLE HERE ARE OVER REACTING,THEY JUST SIMPLY APPRECIATE GOOD MUSIC

  • Is it me or does Kaori has a habit of looking to her left downwards whenever she's not singing ? o.o

  • who are the two in the middle? I like the one with the deeper voice

  • @narichily They're Yuriko (left) and Keiko (right) , Keiko is the one with deeper

  • @malangx thanks a lot^^ I also wanted to know that!

  • @anshishoku No problem =D

  • I love Wakana's English accent man, its sexy and cute. I love when she sings in english man, its awesome.

  • Wow her lyrics are like tears to the heart.....

  • Keiko sounded awesome near the end.

  • first and only song in the world that made me cry

    her voice is just just amazing!! gives me goose bumps every 5 seconds

  • E-Bass accompaniment. This is b r i l l i a n t

  • I don't think I can listen to any other Yuki Kajiura unless they are live. they sound so beautiful, they are like angles.

  • Although Wakana's english accent and Yuriko's vibrato in this song makes me lol,i like their version too.I love Keiko's part at the end.

  • Aaaah <3

  • Yuki 4 me is god,luv Wakana,Yuriko Kaida,Keiko,Kaori...simply the best,famous voice

  • KEIKO. <3

  • shes are angels

  • I love how Keiko has trouble pronouncing her l's and they come out as r's most of the time. It's so awesome sounding. :D

  • I love this song :-*

  • i think it's my 20th times watching this video,this is one of my favorite specially the part from 2:17 onwards and the beautiful voice of keiko in 3:24-3:27

  • @hellgirlchronicles yes i agree!!!! the melody to the song is soo sweet and soft and then the voices give it a strong meaning. it is the prefect song!!!!

  • crap, why did someone disliked this vid ??

  • very nice!!

  • Kaori's "lalalalala" is the best!! XD

    Keiko's back up singing is the best!!

  • this is one of my favorite!!

  • i like this !! Thanks for sharing this wonderful video and lyrics :D !

  • i love yuki san.....she's great!!!

  • awesome voise...i envy her for having that kind of talent...!!

  • I am alway interested in Wakana's voice and suspect how she sing.

    Wakana looks so cool and pround.

    She's fitting to be the leader of 4 vocalists.

    Not only this song, she has performed herself as paradise swan on the stage and

    sometimes grand angel.

  • awsome dude , i love this song

    nice quallity by the way

  • Keiko just rulz with her background voice!

  • @cein2008 agreed! her voice is awesome :)

  • I love you Wakana <3

  • what anime is this from?

  • @DarkFireBlade25 Not from an anime. It's one of Yuki's compositions with Function Junction.

  • Wow this song rocks, can't stop listening to it!! Go Yuki!! X3

  • For sure, Yuki is Perfect!

  • where does she sang???

  • Beautiful!!! Splendid!!!

  • KEIKO YOu're THE BEST!!!!!! Love her XD (happy fanboy? XD)

  • @astralink which ones keiko???

  • @animelover3979 the one with the longest hair, the 3rd girl in the row

  • @animelover3979 Sorry for the late response XD But as Murrue02 said, it's the one with the longest hair, and to me the prettiest and also the one with the most powerfull voice. That's just my opinion ^^

  • @astralink I cannot think of anyone who can hit notes with such perfection during a live performance...

  • @arcenal352 Freddie Mercury, enough said.

  • @arcenal352 Soooo true!!! I heard Red Moon's Live of Kalafina and I was about too die but I wanted to hear the whole thing so I didn't die...hopefully XD

    I'm in Japan right now and let me tell you, if there's a live of Fiction Junction or Kalafina, there's no way for me to miss it XD

  • Yuki Kajiura herself is playing the keyboards. I wonder what are the names of these singers? I love this song, one of my all time favorites. :)

  • @TNEP79 beautiful, isn't it? ^^

    If you're interested in their names, from left to right, they are Wakana, Yuriko Kaida, Keiko and Kaori! ^^

  • What a beautiful song. ^_^

  • I love the extra instrumental stuff in this Live version.

  • Yeah... You're not even worth it...

  • You sir are truly a moron

    Honestly how did you get 'racist' out of 'mask'?

  • not all us men are like that i dont promise a girl anything if i dont have the intentions to fill it out so dont lump all men together in that anti-men mind set u got going on for your self...PEACE

  • for the record

    i didnt type that

    i copy and pasted what LilAngelNana sent me on PM

  • what's happens with the comz ?!! incredible .... otherwise, this song is really beautifful !! but, where did you have this video plz ??

  • keiko's part was so awesome! "yeah yeah YEAH!!!!"

    but they should've sung it in japanese..

    i would like to see emily bindiger live....

  • amazing...that's the only word....keiko is awsome !

  • I was surprised. I expected to hear Emily Bindiger. Who are these singers. I like them.

  • They are FictionJunction.. Amazing right? :D

    From left to right: Wakana, Yuriko Kaida, Keiko and Kaori

  • when keiko sings the high notes part i can only pay attention at her voice, nothing more... -.-" (idk if its a good thing, cuz the others are singing so beautifully, but keiko just steals the spot to me)

  • I agree!!!

  • what are you talking about? who is over reacting?

    If you mean by the reviewers who are going "this is so awesome!" Then um, I've got to say I don't think they are OVER reacting. I think it's quite the opposite.

  • @Hamzrus

    BTW, what the hell is wrong with you? You sexist bastard. You might as well tell all the male viewers that they have ovaries. And if you dont like the music, then fuck off you whiny useless little boy.
