Rakuen - Yoko Kanno - Wolf's Rain

[KibaWolfsRainRakuen]

My name is Rakuen!

[sk2341]

Wolf'sRainっていう世界において、すべての感情が詰ま­った様な音楽に感じる。

七夕のライブパンフについてたテイクも良かった。

あっちの方が、より暖かみがあって幸せな感じ。

[Spirit101Fan]

is this at the begining of the series with kiba lying there like this pic? i was just wondering:D

[aang4all]

@Spirit101Fan yeah, and saying a monologue, also many other parts in the series

[bgabi324]

It's so beautiful...and sad...

[linkbillybluedog]

They say there's no such place... as Paradise. Even if you search to the ends of the Earth, there's nothing there. No matter how far you walk, it's always the same road. It just goes on and on. But, in spite of that... Why am I so driven to find it? A voice calls to me... It says, "Search for Paradise."

[telora444]

I think this was the best thing i have ever watched...the end tore me up, glad nobody else was home then.

[Explorer561]

If only there was a movie of it. It would called Wolf's Rain: The Motion Picture.

[aang4all]

My heart stopped when I heard this then after a little I turned it off before I cried

[ZombehWolf]

Just listening to this is heart wrenching.

[SnowOwl1988]

I have a sound bite when Toboe's dies. It's in japanese but the emotion is the same. Always makes me cry.

[veeismy]

@torresmocomgeleia it is cher who dies in the accident...

[Jokergirl223]

I burst into tears when Toboe died. And NEVER cry in a movie cause i know it's fake dammit!!

[RRRadish]

I like this song almost as much as Space Lion. And that's impressive. :o

[natalieann4]

its safe to say everyone who has ever watched wolfs rain changed into something...better,and now WE have the strong drive and passion to find Paradise

[StatuesBleedingGreen]

@natalieann4 Not me, Wolf's Rain was a piece of crap. The only good things were the music, the character development of the alcoholic guy, and the episode where the alcholic and blond guy were driving around drinking. And you know what that says? Because those are the good things, this anime sucked!

[natalieann4]

@StatuesBleedingGreen wow,i feel really bad for you.If that's the only thing you can get out if this AMAZING anime just an alcoholic guy and some music then...just wow.The entire plot and scheme of this anime was awesome and your probably just too inept to understand the full concept of it >_>

[Shuishidu83]

I cry when I listen to this music! it's so beautiful!

[TB26]

This theme feels like you're saying "Goodbye".

[spiritofdarkness97]

@TB26  true it makes me feel odd like i did something good than i was happy than i get sad

[rrlpdl16]

me gusta mucho esta cancion pero

100pre me deprime me pone tan triste

q apesar d q me gusta la e llegado a odiar me hace

sentir terrible no se cual sea el rrecuerdo q me pone tan

mal.

sinduda esta cancion fue echa con mucho

centimiento no se q les transmita a los demas

pero ami es tristesa soledad perdida

y unas incontrolables ganas de llorar

[rareformulamusic]

watch?v=WTU9INtZAmE

does anybody else hear the similarities?

[Pull63cat]

@rareformulamusic I do. Frankly, I'm not surprised. She's so versatile in her compositions, I believe her sampling other composers have happened more than once. There's a lot of Russian-type music on the "Arjuna" soundtrack, and "Turn A Gundam" has a lot of different symphonic sounds. In this, Kanno makes me realise all the fine symphonic music there is. Even if she stands on the shoulders of others..

[groovybassline]

great song

[TheClaudiaaaa]

*-* è la mia canzone preferita!! l'ascolto tutti i giorni ovunque!! nel letto alla sera,a scuola al mattino,sul pulman a mezzogiorno, a pranzo,mentre faccio i compiti,mentre faccio merenda,mentre vado in giro con le amiche, mentre ceno e ancora mentre sono a letto così questa stupenda melodia mi accompagna ogni giorno!!

[andrewm05]

this is amazing and the connection i just i cant put it to words this series inspired me to be a better person,a stronger person.

[Ocelotte]

It's as if this piece denotes the overwhelming and fragile beauty of the world.

[Kimijun78]

This song is PURE PERFECTION! Sometimes Yoko is a goddess to me...

[SeniorSmurf1]

she is fantastic at making soundtracks isnt she.

obviously wolfs rain was good, but she also does ghost in the shell , and i especialy like cowboy bebop

[linxZuraith]

Oh how beautiful.

[gaaralovescookies1]

Beautiful song...I'v seen the anime before and made me cry.....that girl....cher I think her name was took my breath away when she died OMFG....I balled when Toboe died....and the worst part my mom was in the room D:

[TruePlayerrr]

thx for ruining the story by telling everyone

[torresmocomgeleia]

@gaaralovescookies1 it was cheza =)

[Azriellia]

@torresmocomgeleia I think he might have been talking about the blond with the blue eyes.

[fenix6787]

@torresmocomgeleia CHEZA died at the volcano, in the last episode, his blood and the blood of kiba mixes and creates the garden of eden :P

[TheFieryKnight79]

@gaaralovescookies1 I had never cried at an anime or movie before, unil Cher died. Utterly heart wrenching.

[bbvoncrumb]

Rakuen, literally translated is Paradise

[FurryPurryKee]

I feel like such an idiot. I didn't even watch the whole anime--the first ten or so episodes and the last few--but just hearing this piece brings me to tears.

[bbvoncrumb]

haha dont, but trust me, if this makes you cry, Goodluck watching the episodes 25-30, youll need it!

[MLWMethodist]

I could've just watched the anime for the music. It's the best music I've ever heard!

[MLWMethodist]

Paradise. :)

[azzonibus]

rakuen means paradise in japanese, nothing more...

[EJEPC]

Perfect.

[SharinganButterfly]

rakuen is the paradies for the wolves in the anime Wolf´s Rain^^

[Thundercats567]

Hmm well I think it means paradise~

[havoclover123]

I could die to this song

[KyrukiKaze]

Does anyone have any idea where to get the sheet music for this? im dying to play it its such a pretty song.

[SakuraHT]

The world they lived in was paradise, but something happened to it. I cried so much at the end really an amaxing anime Yokko Kanno is a genius

[QueenCheetah]

Beautifully sad.

[kankuro2295]

I saw every episode of this show and i own each volume! Absolutely love it even though the end is SO SAD!):

[spiritskudde]

its sad that they didn't put the rest of the soundtrack behind it, cause in the lastr soundtrack you can hearb this soundtrack go's farther

[Slimer316]

Very moving song!

[Shandaro777Hit]

i saw all of the anime and i have it to ! but i didn't know what did happend in episode 30 ! some one spell it for me !

[kankuro2295]

ummm Hige,Tsume, and Blue get killed defending cheza then Kibas holding darcia off on his own and almost dies then Cheza poisons darcia, then he goes to hell and the world is completely reborn and they're in a city and it showsall the wolves doing their own seperate thing. I suggest you watch it:P

[HidariMae77]

O.o

This song rocks, it so reminds me of episode 30. =W= If you don't mind me saying, it's perfect for when paradise opens.

Totally favoriting.

[XShadowproductionsX]

It's so beautiful yet sad at the same time it makes you think

[Kyonkyonpanda]

This is the most gorgeous track in this whole series, I think. One of Yoko Kanno's finest works (aside from Cowboy Bebop, of course.)

[fdation]

@Kyonkyonpanda thats how i know this guy from cowboy bebop..I knew i heard the name before

[dragongirl234]

It sound so beautiful..I should download this on my i pod.:)

[horsejumper1212]

kewl they played this in episode 1 and 30^^ Wolf's Rain is the best!!

[StuckMojo2k7]

I remember this one at the last episode. Kiba and the flower maiden were the only ones left and she was dying. right when the music was picking up she disapears. I was like "damn that sucks" felt really bad for him

[wolfyness]

Cheza... the flower maiden - man I live for this stuff - its the best Ive ever seen... I'd never expected to come across something beautifull as this!

[jokertheif101]

i think they worked the wardest making the music then any anime/cartoon show

[mimibyrd]

A touching song from a touching series, bravo

[P2K725]

Oh, dear. Crying now.

[oxoJinkxox]

this is so beautiful

[redlotusxx]

I love this song; it's so pretty. <3

[K00rihi]

WOW...

that's all I can say.

...

wow...

[Rokie88]

I love it :)

[lonleykiller]

that was a beautyful song

[aminefs]

I love the Piano of RAKUEN

(I YOU KANNO-SAMA)

[smeagolsesshluva]

this video has fantastic sound quality! or maybe its just a little differnt then we heard in the episodes...yes, i think that is it.

[limeygirl714]

it sounds different from in the episodes because most of the time when it was in the episodes it had Kiba talking over it...

[smeagolsesshluva]

but its still a bit differnt, even so. like its using different instruments or something...idk maybe not.
