Lovely song! Her English is this side of perfect, indeed. I understood virtually everything she said. She is so adorable, too! It's also nice to hear her singing in a lower register and sounding more natural and relaxed for it. Her high singing is good as well, but her low singing is wonderful too.
Haha, she seems like a VERY sweet girl. She's pretty too, it'd be nice to know her. She seems like the type to stir things up and make them interesting. :)
was this a closing in wolf's rain? Its been a while since I've seen the anime. I caught some of Sakamoto's music on a Jpop radio, and I had no clue she sung this song as well. Small world!
oh my gosh shes the voice of crona from soul eater, ciel from kuroshitsuji, lightning from final fantasy XIII and nino from arakawa under the bridge!! :O shes awesome!! :D
omggg wasn`t aware of her existence untill i knew of kara no kyoukai,she`s actually voice actor AND singer for ages i wouldn`t have guessed it was her singing this song and voice acting shiki in kara no kyoukai and nino in arakawa under the bridge if i didn`t google her she`s such an amazing professional
a me encanta esta cancion para mi se me a echo el mejor ending q e escuchado (es mi opinion diferente a la de mcuhos sobre otros ending) pero a q va y la chava waa esta bonita
I see wolf rain like years ago and still i can't stop listening to this song.. Every time i listening to this i will remember the sad ending of Wolf Rain.. She had this emotionally, soulful vocal that goes deep inside ur heart ;)
She is my fave person in the world. Ever since she started in '96 doing the voice of Hitomi in Escaflowne, she's just been getting more and more famous! She's even done the voice of Eponine in Phantom of the Opera :)
not really. I believe the word today refers to 'TODAY' the present time, today this time. If it is the grammar, well you should ask the one who wrote the lyric ^_^, heheh.
Anyway the song is still good, you should enjoy it more despite the grammar okay?
@Skrat90 Today isn't grammatically incorrect, although I'm not sure how much sense it makes. The sentence doesn't appear to be contrasting night and day but rather "tomorrow" and "today." The singer appear to wish for more of "today," the present, however it doesn't totally make sense since it implies that the present is rainy and misty, and yet the singer wishes for a future without these things by wishing it to be like the present.
to Akurio69...I'm afraid there isn't a character called Eponine in the Phantom of the Opera. perhaps you mean Les Miserables...there is such a character there. Either way, those two are two of my most cherished musicals in the musical literature. :)
been a long road to follow been there and gone tomorrow without saying goodbye to yesterday are the memories I hold still valid? or have the tears deluded them? maybe this time tomorrow the rain will cease to follow and the mist will fade into one more today something somewhere out there keeps calling am I going home? will I hear someone singing solace to the silent moon? zero gravity what's it like? am I alone? is somebody there beyond these heavy aching feet
She looks so fun to work with...
