Damn, they're really showing off their matte painting skills, aren't they? The animation is OK, but the backgrounds are like WOAH.

[roboky9999]

lolz it good, 

[naki12able]

the anime is also know as "the place promised in our early days"

[setchanxx]

what is the name of the anime form this video?

[mmebobo]

i think it' s more "arigato" than "arigatou"

[TainakaDesu]

@mmebobo, the "u" in arigatou is not unnesscessary because if you say it slowly then you can hear it

like 'aariigatooooooU'

[morowinda]

yh thats like toushiro from bleach anime. can be spelled both toushitou and toushiro or have the o with a line at the top. btw what anime is this?

[TainakaDesu]

@morowinda it's the movie: the place promised in our early days

[morowinda]

@TainakaDesu thanks :DD

[caramelldansen1000]

what is the name of the anime?

[UMEKOX3]

@caramelldansen1000 this anime is beyond the clouds, the promised place

[caramelldansen1000]

@UMEKOX3 thank you

[Shdwfalcon]

@UMEKOX3 Also known officially in English as "The Place Promised In Our Early Days".

[TotallyzAwkwardz]

And the last paragraph:

时には　伤つけあっても　あなたを感じていたい

should be changed to:

時には　傷つけあっても　あなたを感じていたい

That's it. That is all that needs to be changed. You got the chorus right, it is just all the other paragraphs that had Chinese characters, the wrong Kanji or other errors in them.

[TotallyzAwkwardz]

时には　伤つけあっても　あなたを感じていたい

重いではせめてもの慰め　何时までもあなたはここにいる

should be changed to:

時には傷つけあっても　あなたを感じていたい

思い出はせめてもの慰め　いつまでもあなたはここにいる

[TotallyzAwkwardz]

I am not insulting you or anything, I am just helping correct the mistakes in the lyrics so people aren't confused, like I was...

[TotallyzAwkwardz]

あの… 谁, both 筑, 时, 达, and 闻 in the first paragraph are all Simplified Chinese characters, not Japanese. 谁 should be 誰、筑 should be 気付, 时 should be 時, 达the sentence "言叶を失った任用达のように" should be "言葉を失った人形達のように"... Actually, the whole paragraph: "谁もが筑かぬうちに　何かを失っている フット筑けばあなたはいない　思い出だけを残して 忙しい时の中　言叶を失った任用达のように 髪角にあふれたノラネコのように 声にならない叫びが闻こえてくる should be changed to: 誰もが気付かぬうちに　何かを失っている ふと気付けばあなたはいない　思い出だけを残して せわしい時の中　言葉を失った人形達のように 街角に溢れた野良猫のように 声にならない叫びが聞こえてくる

[TotallyzAwkwardz]

The character "谁" in the first line of the song "谁もが筑かぬうちに" should be ”誰”. "谁" doesn't exist in the Japanese language. "谁" means who in Simplified Chinese, but 誰 means who in Japanese, and Traditional Chinese.

[TotallyzAwkwardz]

the character: "时" in the part of the song "忙しい时の中”　should be "時".  "时" doesn't exist in Japanese. It is the Simplified Chinese character for time, though.

[o0AyAmA0o]

beautiful song <3

[danielszngirls]

僕もなきました。ありがとう。

[jumper2018]

[aexayy]

what movie/video is this from?

[xfrostwolfx]

@aexayy "The Place Promised in Our Early Days" In my opinion a very bittersweet movie... but very much worth watching

[sariatu1]

あれ？このアニメ見覚えあるなぁ。

「雲の向こう、約束の場所」だっけ？

[qpbvn]

簡体字を見ると殺意が沸く

[rantan0307]

このアニメの綺麗なとこだけをつかっててとても良いものになって­る

避けてるつもりは無いかもしれないけどＳＦちっくなとこを避けて­いていいとおもった

そしてこのとってもいい歌

この組み合わせで泣いちゃった

[GaijinRanma]

彼女は私が聞いたあることが最も美しい声を有する

[Eapix]

What anime is this?

[AoiHoshikage]

@Eapix

The Anime is a movie called Kumo no Mukou, Yakusoku no Basho (Beyond the Clouds, The Promised Place) by Makoto Shinkai. Definitely a good watch if you get the chance to see it especially since the visuals are amazing.

[41qw23er]

3年前に死んだじいちゃん。 いっぱいいっぱいわがまま言ったり 反抗したり文句言ったり決して 言ってはいけない言葉投げつけたり ごめんなさい。 でもじいちゃんは私をいつも 包み込むように優しくしてくれた。 私じいちゃん大好きでした。 いろんなこと教えてくれてありがとう。 もう会えることはないけど 会えるなら、会えるなら、、 私があっちの世界に行って会えるなら ありがとうって言うからね。

[Mariochful]

Her music gives me great inspiration, love her songs, voice, and her beauty <3 <3 <3

[Lidosode]

her voice isn´t great or wonderful, she is more than that :)

[Carlovfx]

If this is really Kokia then that girl really changes voice every 5 minutes...

[jundidididi]

@Carlovfx And I think no cause Kokia's voice much deeper but Its still wonderful

[CenrionPrime]

[JeanneHina]

[SunnyMusiikki]

FANTASTIC FANTASTIC!!

[Uharutanaka]

(sewashii toki no naka kotoba wo ushinatta ningyou tachi no youni)

Dolls were at a loss for words in the time that passed busily.

(machikado ni afureta noraneko no youni)

the homeless cat that overflowed in the street corner

(koe ni naranai sakebi ga kikoeru)

The shout that doesn't become a voice is heard.

[Uharutanaka]

This lyrics are not translated into English easily.

Sorry..I am not good at English.

(daremoga kidukanu uchi ni nanika wo ushinatte iru)

All people lose something before they notices.

(fu to kidukeba anata wa inai samishii kage dake wo nokoshite)

You were not when I noticed.

Only your shadow remains here.

[irogami5639]

これ何てアニメ？

[ken7053]

ＭＥたんのフラッシュで聞いたことある

二重の意味で泣いた

[MWTAIRIKU]

誰もが気付かぬうちに 何かを失っている

フッと気付けばあなたはいない 思い出だけを残して

せわしい時の中 言葉を失った人形達のように

街角に溢れたノラネコのように

声にならない叫びが聞こえてくる

もしも もう一度あなたに会えるなら

たった一言伝えたい ありがとう ありがとう

[MWTAIRIKU]

時には傷つけあっても あなたを感じていたい

思い出はせめてもの慰め いつまでもあなたはここにいる

もしも もう一度あなたに会えるなら

たった一言伝えたい

もしも もう一度あなたに会えるなら

たった一言伝えたい ありがとう ありがとう

[MWTAIRIKU]

もしも もう一度あなたに会えるなら

たった一言伝えたい

もしも もう一度あなたに会えるなら

たった一言伝えたい ありがとう ありがとう

時には傷つけあっても あなたを感じてたい

[TheAsianGuitar]

You definitely can find the lyrics easily if you understand Japanese.

[MrFUribe]

@kenaichi124 Arigato, Sorry but, I don't speak japanese, always thanks for your interest in help me...! I was searching the lyrics in english, french or spanish (better) my grettings from Mexico.

[Bloodlovefreak]

The pretty scenes of the sky make me want to run outside, lie down and spend hours staring at the expanse above.

[akarin34]

私を愛してくれたあの人に「ありがとう・・・」

[SOUSEKI1719]

人はみんな大切な誰かに「ありがとう」って言うために生まれてき­たんですね。

この曲聴いてそう思いました。

[x28uymu2]

この歌詞のように、大切な人に

毎日「ありがとう」と素直に言えたら。

いつ死んでも悔いのない人生を歩める気がする。

[MrEburi]

kokia is wonderful, i love this song

[roran00001]

I see some ppl claim the clips from "The Place Promised in Our Early Days" or Moongirl.

Which one is it? What is the name of this animation?

[Deadpool601]

It's "Kumo no Mukou, Yakusoku no Basho"

"The Place Promised in Our Early Days" by Makoto Shinkai.

I own it, it is definitely it.

[LoneLunaWolf]

long time ago..

[tristashan]

This song have a chines version?!! I've never heard about that! It's been said that this song was composed by this Japanese girl when she was 15.

[SuRuMeORUTA]

やっぱり神だわ。

[Misty9190]

the "twist" in her voice @ 2:19 is amazing!

[mominofu]

国外では高い評価を受けているとか。

こんな名曲がヒットしない国内音楽シーンはどうなっているのか。

しかし、ヒットして有名になることが全てじゃない。再生回数が名­曲だということ物語っている。同時にそれだけ多くの人から評価さ­れているということ。

それにしてもやっぱり名曲。

[ongakuonly]

ドラマやＣＭとタイアップして視聴者に何度も曲をすりこまないと­売れない時代ですからね。

草の根で活動して口コミで広がるという時代ではなくなってしまっ­た。

それが日本自体のエネルギーが枯渇していることと無縁ではない気­がしますが。

[Vkei1]

This song is just Awesome!

Her voice is just magic.. <3

[33659]

I know that movie...it was boring,but the song is great^^

[Kyran52]

it was not! don't listen to him -_- it's a great movie that has a deep meaning. You need to watch to twice to really understand it =( nice song and video btw =]

[chimichimimoryo]

what's the name of the movie?

[sparven123]

what's the name of the movie ?

[mmoongirll]

I think it was " The Place Promised in Our Early Days"

[Kyran52]

Yeah Moongirl is right, that's the name of the movie ^^ sorry it took so long for me reply :3

[gokugokunomo]

''ありがとう''　人によっては言いづらい言葉ですよね。でも、大切な人が亡くなっ­てしまったりしたときにやっと後悔する。「ありがとうって言えな­かった」と。

[EIGHT8000]

なぜ、ＫＯＫＩＡさんの「ありがとう」は物凄く良い唄なのに、世­間では評価されないのでしょうか・・・。絶対大ヒットすると思う­のですが・・・。

[Dino2jp]

歌によらず、その実力は評価はされてますよ。それと、一世風靡す­れば良いわけでも無いし、大ヒットすれば名作という事でもない。

ただの流行には乗って欲しいとは思いません。

今のままでも、かなり多くの人に愛されてるアーティストと思いま­すよ。

[Thacyra]

Nem tok KANJIzniXD

[omNiFic]

I remember Kokia wrote this song when she was 14. She is absolutely talented.

[Namaechan]

14? O.O Wow... Oooh, i hope that means she has a riddiculous amount of songs laying around... Hehe

[Sundrownpaw45]

Yeah cute.. I agree with Akihiko-chan, ha ha

[EXCEL9inJAPAN]

ありがとう・・・・

こんなにも単純な言葉。今の人たちはどれだけこの言葉に素直に言­えるんだろう・・・

人生生きている中で何気なく過ごしていても、僕らは支えられて生­きていることを。

お父さん、お母さん、ありがとう。

[MrStrongarm]

Love this song! Place Promised in Our Early Days is such a brilliant anime too. :D

[Akiko55]

It's cute. It's almost like...almost like he has an opinion that matters.

[dongxin19]

感動毎度　 sooooooooo cooooooool!
