[animimi5]

赤とんぼ現象と鑑みるに彼女の程良い拳と歌唱力は、シンプルで美­しいピアノバラードが合うのでは

[yoshiyuki1732]

聴くたび、泣いてしまいます。

すばらしい歌UP頂き感謝します。

これはもう　応援するしかないですね。

[Qabooz]

what is this song about?

[matuiory]

@Qabooz is a japanese old song! that they used to sing to childs, is a mother song. the guy is crying as her mother used to sing that song to him when he was a child. his mom has passed and she suprised him with that song! so saaad! and she sings with so much feeling!

[Qabooz]

@matuiory ah thanks i knew i heard it like kachan no something :P

[MrKOCHIMARU]

@matuiory You're making up a story.First, this song is not a song" mothers used to sing to childs".Second,his mother did not used to sing that song. This is a song telling a story about a mother and her son."He" was ashamed of his poor, fatherless family and his mother in a blue-color, but one day he saw his mother working,hard but proudly.

[aLwAyZyG]

she has such a great voice..brings tears to my eyes every time...lol...

[ohdeeeell]

愛子ちゃんは本当に上手いんですよね～・・・

あとは曲に恵まれるだけ。

ど演歌でもいいけど、どっちも満足させるような叙情歌的な歌歌っ­たらいいんじゃないかなぁ。。。

素晴らしいでしょ？

[m1mk]

あれ？

気がついたら涙出てたぞ。

[zhadinagovyadina]

Just love her!

[Komugikun]

She's so CUTE!!!! I wanna SQUEEZE HER! LOL

[Lemmon228]

なにこのこ、すごい

[milk58tea]

歌を聴いて泣いたのなんて何年ぶりだろう。

この人の歌声聴くと胸がいっぱいになる。

澄んだ若々しい声。素敵です。

[robibm2003]

Her speaking voice reminds me of Mami Yamase's.

She's still young, 25, so I think her interpretive ability will deepen as time passes. No doubt about it, she has tons of talent!

[usak0u]

damn I love this song!!

[ebaymamaqueen]

so pretty :)

[koucharoo]

ほんとに２時間番組つくれるよ…

[Toshieli]

Great voice !! How come she's not as popular in Japan as she deserves to be? It is hard to find her CD in Japan. Truly a gem. ~ a fan from Taiwan ~

[tunkunrunk]

@Toshieli I agree , such a wonderful voice and she is almost unknow  outside Japan . Iam a fan from France

[agilent4042]

やっぱり！　何度聴いてもいい！

何度聴いても、何故か・・・・泣ける・・・・

[tunkunrunk]

If I were  a producer I would produce live performance of Moriyama in europe and USA .

[yakushi2008]

本当に、彼女の唄には心を動かせられる

良い曲に出会って、売れて欲しいと願っています。

[mOcHeLe]

本当に素晴らしい！　

[fefefan17]

perfect



[shaikhdishgan1]

here voice just gose deep in your heart,such a nice feeling,great voice.

[judfor]

天才だね

[CrimsonHeartsxx]

She has such an amazing voice!! Beautiful, beautiful music!

[sei100]

人それぞれの人生があるように、この歌にも人それぞれの歌い方や­思いがあると思います。沢山の喜怒哀楽が重なる事によってさらに­素晴らしい歌になるのではないでしょうか、彼女の等身大が伝わっ­てると思います。歳を重ねるごとに噛み締めて歌っていただけたら­と思います。歌える事は与えられている事、それだけで素晴らしい­のですから。

[kilroy04]

この人はもっと評価されて良いと思う。

[rideblac]

音楽の事はよくわからないから評価とか偉そうに出来ないけど、と­にかく歌が上手いだけじゃこの曲は歌えないんだなって事は分かっ­た。なんか心臓にグッと来ました。

森山さんが歌ったからこそこんなに感動できたんだろうな、他の歌­上手い人が歌ってもここまで感動できなかったと思う。

[VamsheeX9]

wow that voice is beautiful, just one thing , she kinda sounds like a little girl at the beginning XD

[Superiorkumattky2010]

彼女の容姿に萌えた！。彼女の歌声聴いて度肝抜かれた！。これは­凄い。まさしくホンモノだ！！。

[Pinkspiderable]

I cried*

[fefefan17]

[ennoshita]

[hokkai123]

曲と合ってないんじゃなく、せまい器量のアンタに合ってないだけ­だぜ

[poobert]

@hokkai123

Whats going on?

[Steeef789]

aaaaah can't stop listening to that beautiful voice of her ^^

[myphoualo]

Even though I don't understand it but i has touched my heart~ Beautifully singed!

[Steeef789]

wow that girl has a GREAT VOICE!!

[oshie789]

誰がこの歌の意味を説明してください?

おねがい~ね~

[oshie789]

兄弟船は何ですか????

[Nyampoo]

ヨイトマケの唄はこの曲を作った美輪さんをはじめいろんな方が歌­っているけど、私はこの森山さんが歌っているのが一番好きです。­

[taishi]

wow, that was brilliant... does anybody know how to sing enka? now i really want to learn while learning japanese too ^_^

[EnkaPunk]

Someone else left a comment that said WOW and i have to agree,WOW!

[1222phantom]

本物の、人の心に響く歌ですね。

[SuperKnucklesFan]

Wow, shes good, i mean, AWSOME!!

[SeitanoShuuki]

Her speaking voice is so cute, and then her singing voice is so much richer!

[Froufroutrixibelle]

That's typical japanese!

Most girls take on cute childish talking voices but then when she sings its her real voice which comes out!

[tunkunrunk]

@SeitanoShuuki japanese women sing very well , unfortunately they are not broadcasted here in europe , I can listening to their song only in mangas

[cafeko]

god, what a great voice!!!!

[ndebbiegirl]

That was so beautiful...

[zakirashow]

ぶったまげるね～。すごいよ。

[juliekim88]

it's relaxing to listen to her sing

[saitou0712]

素晴らしい！

涙が出ました。

[gazubun]

清木場氏の涙が印象的です。演歌以外で、彼女の歌をもっと聴きた­い。

[AkaIuyu]

can someone translate it to romaji?

[plast21]

彼女の歌声はもっと世に出てよいと思う。

曲に恵まれて欲しいと願う。

[una882]

una882 彼女は本当にかわいいです、私のおばさんは japan からです

[ZO6]

the flute is playing "bohemian rhapsody" lol

[kenji5226]

心の中に、ブルースがないと出会えないんだろうな・・・

[personal4jesus]

wow!!! :D

[xxxmusicismysoulxxx1]

enka is not really what i listen to but i love the uniqueness of her voice its perfect for enks and i like the fact that her speaking and singing voice are so different.

[wildgift2]

Reminds me of Cyndi Lauper - who had a weird voice, but a great singing voice. The music reminded me of something Irish.

[Klainn]

Funny you should mention that, check out the video titled "Great voice! MORIYAMA Aiko sings 'AKATOMBO'" if you haven't already.

[zengenSanji]

I love her!

The best voice in the world!

The champain is the best! Love it too...

[Klainn]

That was seriously amazing. Just wow.

[WhiskeyyWoman]

Hey that's Queen in the background, huh?

Mamaaaaaaa life has just begun....blablablblaa

Her voice is fabulous. Every note she hit was just right.

[allgoo19]

The part that moved him most(close up head shot).

"There were times I was tempted to step into the wrong side of the law but it was my mother's inspiration that kept me straight."

In the first part (this is the second part)of the video, he was talking about his youth, where he was skipping the school a few days a week causing trouble else where. His mother was afraid of answering too many phone calls related to his bad behavior.

[ABCABBA]

素晴らしい・・・

[forzaredsoioi]

OMG!!

I luv her voice...

I think her voice really matches with those Japanese original songs!!!

[end64]

Ehh, can someone tell me what he said when she said to him that she had a gift for him?

[forzaredsoioi]

DEAR end64:

he just said "kyoudaibune?" this is the name of another Japanese song. He is just joking(lol

[end64]

Ohh, thanks for the answer!!!!!

[end64]

T.T It's so cute when guys show emotions like that, it made me cry after reading the explanation of the song from allgoo19.

[odoru3]

この子の歌声を聴くと、

つくづく唄っていいもんだなって実感します。

[BerryCu]

毎日見ています

[blaqmarkit]

i must know this song

[0059102zaq]

何だこの子は､上手いなー･･保存･･

[michelleanntrinidad]

Her voice and personality transform as soon as she starts singing

Is talking like that her way of preserving her voice?

[hase090]

反則だわ！その歌声！やられちゃいました。

[clasher02]

Oh man.

Does anyone know where to get the translation of this song?

It feels so sad. The guy is tearing up!!!

[allgoo19]

to clasher02:

In short, it's a song about a son witnessed his mother working at the construction site among other workers for the first time(note: construction works are generally for guys, and women rarely be seen because of its physical demand). It inspired his life. Even later, when he became successful, the image of his mother working still stuck in his mind.

It's about mother's dedication to raise her children and son's appreciation for her.

[andrebrannan1953]

Great performance. I'd like to ask a question not directly related to the song. In many of these types of clips there is a picture in the top left of the screen. Who are the people, and why are they shown?

[FeatherShard]

When there's something like that, the clip is featured as part of another show, and the smaller picture is there to show the reactions of the people watching the featured video.

[shinissleepin9]

涙がとまらないです。

こんな可愛らしい話し声なのに心地よい裏切り！！！

すばらしい歌声ですね。

これがきっかけで美輪さんがご自身が歌ってらっしゃるのも

聴きましたが、そちらも聞き惚れてまた涙

[pimpinpurple53]

im curious in japanese ara,is that like "hey" or like a pause when the hear something shocking or something? im studying japanese and i have never came across the word "ara"??

[isdlais12345]

we use ARA when we are suprised. so your understanding is correct. but its not like a pause. although, people stops when they are surprised. i think that is the reason you thought ARA is some kind of a pause.

[mangetsufullmoon]

「お前みたいな小娘があの名曲歌うんじゃねぇ！！」

って最初は思ってました。が、ごめんなさい。

素晴らしい！！！！

フルコーラスで歌って欲しかった。

[tzatzum]

i'm inlove

[Inokea]

wow, beautiful performance, so heartfelt...would love to see her perform. Maybe on my trip to Japan....

[AiKawashima]

She sings another song!

Totally!

Awesome!

[ctgss110]

最高・・・涙・涙・涙・

[roseeatsbabies]

the song made me tear up a bit

so sad and beautiful<33

She's amazing. I want to see more moriyama aiko videos!!!

[YouKube]

Such a beautiful and lovely voice.

So nice of her to sing this song for this person.

Really great and emotional song.

[lauj]

[Alimeemee]

He looks like a 3rd world children commercial

[Alimeemee]

Dude is a bitch

[squarecnix]

i agree

[dirulover90]

how can he be a bitch when hes tearing up?

[akaiYaMa9]

that dudes mother died and she was singing the song for him you heartless bastard!

[xdarkxflowerx]

°_°

[blackanese18]

beautiful singing voice! that was real unexpected!

[squarecnix]

her horribly high voice is evidence she was sexually abused as a child.

why do girls talk like that in japan is it cute culture?

[JayKay930]

WTF? what the hell are you talking about?

[squarecnix]

its scientifically proven!

[tombomegane1970]

Well then, is talking dirty specific culture in your country ?

[da1suk1day0]

Did she release anything?

[rurinoruri]

普段とっても声がかわいいのに、

歌うとめちゃくちゃ落ち着いた声でうまくて驚き

[wangzhe0129]

Sorry... what actually the 'Yoitomake' Means?

Thank you and appreciate for the kindly answer

[okaKz9]

"Yoitomake" is old slang, which mean navvy worker for construction.

Title means "Song of navvy worker" in English.

This song was written in 30 years ago.

In this song, songwriter remembers his dead mother, who worked as navvy worker to rear her son.

He remembers it, that her yell in work was most beautiful cradlesong for him.

[wangzhe0129]

Thank you, mate. For your kindly explain.

[KenSkaii]

lmfao she looks and sounds doofy, but she can sing

[LaurentCM]

Excellent enka voice ! >_^

[7JHX4]

すごい良い声だ・・・

[iMPERiOUS]

wow, unexpected

[ivorykitten]

It's amazing how different she sounds when she sings! She sounds like a little kid when she talks, but her singing voice is so deep and beautiful!

[massirokarasu]

涙が出てきた･･･

[redredwar]

Could anyone please tell me about this programme? I do not speak Japanese (yet) sadly, but I would love to know what is happening here.

[smilyvancouver]

"Yoitomake-no-uta" is Japanese old chanson blues.

This song is a content of memories concerning mother.

Aiko Moriyama sings "Yoitomake-no-uta" for his mom's memory.

Finally, it became a present of the surprise for this guy.

[redredwar]

Thank you so much!
