Escaflowne - Sora (cover)

[ChocoKewkies]

This makes me want to watch Escaflowne all over again.

[scrapydo3]

awsomee

[enigma273]

holy shiiiiiiiit I think I just had my first multiple eargasm.

[SummerSeaWish]

It was just wonderful

[SummerSeaWish]

dang it stupid typos

[SummerSeaWish]

This was absolutrly beutiful. Keep on singing :D

[mfbuxton]

Absolutely beautiful.

It saddens me that this lovely piece of music came out so long ago now...

The entire soundtrack for this series is amazing.

I discovered you through your collab with lonlonjp. Awesome job on that too!

[GlukAlex]

Super! Moonspeak - unequalled ! One of The best fantasy song !

[Randomkloud]

I got chills running down my spine

[FurryToesMusic]

失礼かもしれないけど、歌った言葉は日本語じゃないですか？何語­ですか？分からなかったから「何語かな」と思って

[moonstone0714]

綺麗な歌声(*^^*)

あなたは天使です。

私もあなたみたいになりたい！

[TheOriginalMomos]

Your voice is so beatifull ! Even in Japanese ! It's amazing ! You look beautifull too !

[NiarLiu]

what a curative song!!!

[Dreadfeather522]

Ohh wow...

[crunchymunchyblue]

I'm really not that big of a Final Fantasy fan these days. I stopped playing them after FFX because, frankly, I didn't like the tenth installment. I've played one through nine, in full, since I was seven years old if that's saying something. But your covers are gorgeous, even though I cannot speak Japanese. xD I love them, keep up the good work.

[ryusenju98]

i prefer your cover than the original

[x0CriminalMind0x]

;.; gorgeous. I know I've heard this song before, but it's driving me  nuts where I heard it before this video.

[GigawingsVideo]

Re playing this video because I want to feel the goosebumps while listening to this song again.

[SmileHeartStrike2012]

so beautiful.

[neoenix]

This is now my wakfu background music.

[ooo6]

Thank you, Laura, that was so beautiful and inspiring. Yoko Kanno is amazing, yes, but when her compositions are complimented with beautiful singing, that is when the magic happens. :) I think I will record this too one day soon.

[stryder87100]

Just watched this video again. I can't begin to express how much I just love your voice. So soothing. All I could think of watching it was how much I'd love to sing with you. Would be amazing. :)

[CharybdusRage]

Is there a way that you could get this on your bandcamp? I'd really love a copy on my mp3 player :)

[prelatesummers]

Hurray!!! I love when I type in Escaflone and find something new! How much cooler the fact that you show up too. Happy Happy, Joy Joy! Now if more people would give the Giant Robo OAV more love :(

[aznsorawarrior]

it sounds like the original o.o so beautiful

[HikariNoKalen]

Instant shiver, by the Gods! You should really cover more of Kanno's masterpieces.

[mrparn]

I've been a fan of Kanno's work since a long time. And recently I've became a fan of yours, too. Your song in Play For Japan is just lovely. By the way, this cover is awesome, and my brain just exploded imagining a future colaboration between Laura Shigihara and Yoko Kanno. =)))

[supershigi]

@mrparn Thank-you :) My friends and I are actually working on a simple animation for the song I contributed to the Play for Japan album... as soon as it's done, I'll make sure to put it up here!

[raydredX]

@supershigi What langauge is this? It sounds a bit like Italian, but a bit more Nordic.

[TheVagabondWolf]

feels like a mother singing to me everytime

[toyboxhay]

I would love to hear you do a cover to Final Fantasy X Suteki Da Ne by Shiro Hamaguchi!

[supershigi]

@toyboxhay I would love to do a cover of this song sometime... it's one of my favorite pieces of music from Final Fantasy. The violin part at the beginning gives me goosebumps^^

[salvo711]

Gets more gorgeous every time I listen... Jesus Christ.

[rekcahdam]

This actually gave me chills. I was JUST talking about the "Sora's Folktale" version of this song with my friend. Wow!

[supershigi]

@rekcahdam Thank-you Roger! That's cool that you know about this song... most of my friends have never heard of it. Are you going to be at GDC next month?

[rekcahdam]

@supershigi Yup! I'm actually the programmer for Lume so I'll be helping them show off their game since it was nominated :D!

[supershigi]

@rekcahdam Oh rad! Maybe we can hang out at the IGF area! I'll be there, too to help out Kan with To the Moon. Congratulations on the nomination :)

[rekcahdam]

@supershigi AWESOME & congrats to you too! Cant wait to chill with you then Ｏ(≧▽≦)Ｏ!

[AngelLich]

Hee hee! I learned to sing this too! It's a very touching song despite having no real lyrics. Nice job! :)

[TheNarita2011]

So beautiful ! THQ Shigi !

[724ephil]

Simply Amazing.

[SilvermoonBlood]

So I casually went to Halolz to see if anything new was posted. I find a well done and entertaining video about morning in minecraft. I go to youtube to like it and I watch there previous video, 'endrerclase.' Then the previous video and then the previous video. 'Moonlight - Short Minecraft Animated' I like the music and I notice a like in the description to the channel to the composer. I go there and find one of my favorite songs redone wonderfully.

Amazing, isn't it?

Thankyou for your proform

[supershigi]

@SilvermoonBlood Thank-you for listening :) I always enjoy hearing about how people find my channel... it's fun to see the random chain of events that lead them here! Slamacow's Minecraft animations are great.

[Kwiix]

Wow. Nice vocals, Laura. 

[ErymanthianBoar1997]

Awesomeness! :D So calming and sweet. I wuv your music ^_^

[emszx05]

So relaxing .. makes me feel so happy .. so great ! >3<

[SpaissOwl]

One of my favorite soundtracks. Awesome cover!

[TheRandomcupcake101]

Your voice is just so beautiful.

You're inspiring me to start back choir practice.

[supershigi]

@TheRandomcupcake101 Aww, that's great to hear :) I hope you're able to start choir practice again; singing is such a fun activity (and good stress relief too!)

[kylelandry]

Love it Laura!!!!

Kyle

[supershigi]

@kylelandry Thank-you Kyle, I'm happy you liked it ^_^ I've been really enjoying your recent videos.

[rikuofdarkness123]

You have the most beautiful voice. I play all your music when i draw or while i'm at work. Almost everyone where i works knows of your music because every time you release something i show everyone.

[TheVagabondWolf]

plz make more some of these song plzzzzzzzz

I vote next song megaman X4 opening song (with some dance too xD)

[demoneyes395]

THUMBS UP FOR SUPERSHIGI

[supershigi]

@demoneyes395 Thank-you for listening, I'm so glad you liked it! I'll try my best to release more singing videos soon.

[velcrossred]

Mother of god, Thank you.

[NoteStalker]

your voice is angelic! i'm not familiar with the song but i'm starting to love it after listening to this.

[supershigi]

@NoteStalker Thank-you for your comment^^

[stryder87100]

Absolutely beautiful.

I recognize that voice... and the sunflower on the piano gives it away! :)

There's a zombie on your lawn!

[supershigi]

@stryder87100 Thank-you^^ Hehe, I love the sunflower... she now has a permanent place on my keyboard!

[WatershipDownFan]

could compose a small end credits song (hopefully with those great vocals!), I'm sure you're SUPER busy, and I know you will probably have to respectfully decline the offer, but I felt obligated to ask, for both my friend and I. If you want, I could send you a build of the game and a storyboard so you can see what it's all about.

Whether you reply or not, thank you! And best of luck in your future endeavors. I'm sure you'll go far.

-WatershipDownFan and Skylarity (Josh and Skyler!)

[WatershipDownFan]

Hi Laura! I'm a huge fan of your work, especially on the To The Moon soundtrack, a lovely game and a lovely voice for the vocals combined to really touch me.

I know you're a super cool person who interacts with her fans unlike most youtube stars nowadays, and I promised my friend I would ask you something, so here it is. :)

We are making a small game, it's out first one, and it's nowhere NEAR the quality of To The Moon or really, any other game you have worked on. But I was wondering if you

[supershigi]

@WatershipDownFan Hi Josh and Skyler. Thank-you for your comment, I'm glad you can enjoy my music :) My schedule for the next few months is actually super busy, so I'm not sure if I'd be able to take on another project at this point. But I'd still like to check out your game and storyboard in case something frees up. If you send those to supershigi at gmail, I'll make sure to take a look at it ^_^

[squidais]

AWESOME!!!, I USED TO REPLAY THIS SO MUCH!

[boonkhee79]

Maaya Sakamoto and Yoko Kanno are my favorite artist, could you please do more of their work ? your singing here was superb!

[supershigi]

@boonkhee79 I'd love to... Yoko Kanno is such a creative and talented composer. I'd like to try Voices from Macross Plus, or Yubiwa from Escaflowne.

[SwitchxA]

As a huge Escaflowne fan, you nailed this perfectly. Seriously great work.

[dsshade]

To say that the sweetness of your voice is amazing, it would be a poor phrase to yourself ... just beautiful and wonderful ... Thank you for singing :D

[supershigi]

@dsshade Thank-you very much :)

[fireshot22]

language of song?

[Lantis02]

And to think SOPA or PIPA can have this pulled down.  Unacceptable.

[deepeyes]

5 haters were here ... =/

[noggan]

@supershigi You're awesome. Thanks for sharing and brightening up my gloomy week :)

[supershigi]

@noggan Thank-you for listening :) Glad I could help somehow!

[enigma273]

It sounds like a mixture of thai, mandarin and french.

[enigma273]

What language is this in? I really cannot tell. 

[supershigi]

@enigma273 I believe it is a language that Yoko Kanno made up by combining words and phrases from many different languages (French, Latin, Japanese, etc.)

[salegauss]

well, here the lyric : Win dain a lotica En vai tu ri Si lo ta Fin dein a loluca En dragu a sei lain Vi fa-ru les shutai am En riga-lint Win chent a lotica En vai tu ri Si lo ta Fin dein a loluca Si katigura neuver Floreria for chesti Si entina La la la la la la la la la... Fontina blu cent De cravi esca letisimo La la la la la la la la la... De quantian La finde reve Win dain a lotica En vai tu ri Si lo ta Fin dein a loluca En dragu a sei lain Vi fa-ru les shutai am En riga-lint

[CJCollectables]

That was amazing!

[supershigi]

@CJCollectables Thanks guys^^  We're looking forward to the Dark Ascension pre-release!

[Senkyoka]

The chills I got... are not related to the temperature in any way shape or form. Thanks for being amazing =D <3

[supershigi]

@Senkyoka Aww, thank-you ^_^

[RIHCross666]

Awesome Voice

[viciouskaiser1]

man, those harmonies are shiver inducing. great work here ^.^

[34yoo34]

Always wonderinggg, wat language is thiss?

Some european language?

[Smokemalboro]

@34yoo34 japanese

[Senkyoka]

@Smokemalboro @34yoo34 Smokemalboro is incorrect; the lyrics are a made-up language by Yoko Kanno that mixes English, French, Italian, Latin, and other romantic languages. If there's a translation, only she knows it haha.

[Smokemalboro]

@Senkyoka but shes japanese so its like that song from monster hunter, ima find it and send it to you

[Nightblade44]

Did you just bow, THAT IS ADORABLE. LOL. nice voice, very strong, approved.

[pachu315]

omg...so nice

[Fantasiex3]

This is so beautiful! :)

[supershigi]

@Fantasiex3 Thank-you Sherry! So glad you enjoyed it :)

[BibleVersesEveryday]

This is a pretty song ^.^

[burndarkfireburn]

supershigi, thank you for your effort. I hope this year goes very well for your.

[bulmasman]

WHY can't i like this a million times over? You have the ability to take already beautiful songs and make them even MORE beautiful. Sign me up for any possible album releases in future, i'm well and truly hooked on you.

[supershigi]

@bulmasman Thank-you *^_^* I'll make sure to let you know about future album releases... I'm hoping to do something in the coming year!

[DivineBanana]

I don't understand a word you're saying, but it sure is one of the most beautiful things I have ever heard.

[salegauss]

@DivineBanana The original lyrics consist of made-up words as well as disconnected terms from various languages, including Romanian

[DivineBanana]

@salegauss oh, i'm a fan of songs with made up languages. Have you heard the NeiR soundtrack? It's incredible and made up of vocals singing made up languages that somewhat resemble real languages. For example the track "Grandma" resembles french, and "The Wretched Automatons ( Junk Heap)" Resembles english.

[salegauss]

@DivineBanana oh, here some artist who escaped my attention :p, I'm gonna listen to that immediately ^^

[ggememcd7]

僕ともコラボしてくださ～い(^^)/

[salvo711]

Brilliant, absolutely brilliant.

[elvickRULES]

*sniffles* 

[theye25]

Wonderful. I feel like the crescendos on the piano were a little too understated, but still, your voice is perfect for this.

[scar9000]

supershigi that was amazing!! Thank you so much! Is there any chance that you could do some more of the Escaflowne Soundtrack?

[BibleVersesEveryday]

Legit

[sarahfish891]

Beautiful!

[ForTheBenefitOfMan]

I gave up on studying Japanese a long time ago so naturally I don't understand a word you're saying lol but it is extremely beautiful and I enjoyed this immensely

[greob]

Nice arrangement. Yoko Kanno is a genius. I hope to hear more covers of her tunes from you. :)

[MusicallyInclined42]

Even though I don't know the actual lyrics to this song, it's so peaceful and beautiful!

Thank you!♥

[Orochimarufan1900]

Not able to put it into words.. must study english harder.. maybe someday i'll discover a word that describes this awesomeness...

[quidamsj]

Very beautiful! It's always nice to hear you perform with higher-end recording equipment! Just like one of your listeners, I also opened up your video while doing something else and the music just stopped me.

[ladyness00]

Beautiful! Escaflowne was epic :p

[Kyzra]

TRUEfoe enjoy.  =P

[eggplantwzrd]

Perfection, as usual! I'd like to hear some more Yoko Kanno covers... maybe Voices from Macross Plus?

[Arnoud4]

This was really beautiful!! Please make more xd

[Calvaria9x]

Voice of goddess !!!

[EagleSmeagol]

the epicness of this gave me epic chills, awesomeness :))

[lookmai3520]

love your voice so much :)

[SoraheartsXIII]

I just discovered you a few weeks ago. And I can say I fall in love with your beautiful voice ! I looked all of your video. You're so great and your performances take us to an other world. I don't regret to suscribe you, I'm waiting for your next video ! (Sorry if my english is not really good, I'm a french fan ^^ )

[jejepinheiro777]

This song is so beautiful... It's my favourite in Escaflowne. T_T

Always cry when I listen it.

Congratulations Shigi! You're so great! ♥

[reemCGR]

your voice is sooooo Beautiful =D

[kaibzTV]

あなたの歌声で癒されました

この動画を子守唄にして今日は寝ます(｡-_-｡)

[AntoneX6]

wow you are sooooooo great!

[supaganzai]

What a gorgeous rendition of this song. I love Escaflowne with every fiber of my being, sometime you must absolutely cover Cat's Delicacy :)

[ron619]

one word BEAUTIFUL

[badtyprr]

Escaflowne, I totally remember this anime from way back in high school. Excellent rendition, even improved on the original song!

[CloverLemon]

bravo! encore , encore!!!

[en0000]

One of my favourite songs of all time and somehow you've managed to make it better than the original. Amazing.

Any chance you could make a mp3 version of this? Would love to put it onto my phone.

[aaaaaaaaooooooo]

Is this Elf language?

[MissyHannaCho]

I was trying to multi-task, but as soon as you started singing, I stopped everything I was doing and just sat, closed my eyes, and listened throughout the entire video. Then I repeated the entire process 3 more times :)

[KatalinaOno]

Beautiful! 素敵な声ですね。This gave me goosebumps!

[ShielaSweetie]

I really enjoyed this :) I hope that you'll post some more original songs in this style as well; you have so many great original works that I wish the world could hear them.

[absolutf0b]

An absolutely stunning rendition. Your harmonies are top notch. Good job!

[darkjonny012]

omg awsome voice awsome languege awsome (gänsehaut beim chor xD) kawai <3

[KoricTheBrave]

Wow....I haven't heard this song in forever. Also.....I have to thankyou. I've seen this show when I was a kid. Then it was canceled. After a few years I forgot the name of the show but didn'T forget how much I enjoyed it. I just took 3 minutes of my time to find an entire play list of the show on a website. Thankyou!:)

[jinntann1]

いつも素敵な音楽をありがとうございます。

とてもいい声ですね。

いつも応援していますので、これからもがんばってください！！

[supershigi]

@jinntann1　ありがとうございます＾＾

[ThePolkadog]

The voice of an angel.

....o_o

[g0dsgreen]

OMG AWESOME

[kakashidono1]

Beautiful song. You are just adorable! May I pinch your cheeks? X3

[canebro1]

Wow, the part where you harmonize with you own voice is just amazing!

[AzureCressington]

Oh wow, I love Escaflowne and Yoko Kanno, thank you so much for this, this was wonderful! :)

[happyfrogdude]

透き通った綺麗な声ですね　とても魅力的です！

[supershigi]

@happyfrogdude 聞いてくれてありがとう！

[kaeto92584]

you are so talented..gintama would put you in a parody anytime soon :D <3

[keoni29]

@cmoore9900 That seems doable. Even if you're not that talented you can accomplish that by practicing.

[MushyMaoMao]

Yay!  More covers ^_^!

[DeadReckonGaming]

<3 Shigi

[jbird188]

Man, I barely remember Escaflowne when it aired on Fox Kids years ago. Gorgeous cover, btw =D

[chrisstevens2]

She's so beautiful that I have difficulty focusing on the singing. :)

[cmoore9900]

Wow.... Simply... Wow. So much talent. I wish I was a fifth as talented in singing/piano as you are.

[garsivaz]

Thank you very much for beautiful work....your harmonies are delicate and perfect.... well done... I look forward to your work in future.

PS: if you release albums please update your fans :)

[supershigi]

@garsivaz Thank-you for listening! I'm really glad you liked the harmonies... and I'll definitely make sure to let you all know if I release more albums in the future!

[jorgegti]

Gracias por compartir tu hermosa voz!!, Saludos desde Mexico

[neoenix]

Im so glad i subscribed to you. I was having a bit of a stressful day today but then i heard this and i feel a bit more relaxed. thank you.

[jamesmtobin]

hmm I wanna hear Aimo from Macross Frontier, I think it would sound awesome if you did it. :D

[SamuelWinters]

The vocals are reminiscent (at least I think so) of Akino Arai? Maybe it's just some of the chords sound like one of her songs, but I can't put my finger on it. Either way beautiful, beautiful performance!

[LanceKim100]

awesome

[ericlechounde]

You have such a sweet voice. I know I've said this before, but I get excited whenever I see one of your videos pop up in my subscription center :)

[neoguy35]

Epic and lovely

[jennychuchu]

Fantastic! Whenever I listen to you sing I feel at peace :) I hope you'll continue to post more singing videos, we love them!
