Aerith's theme ~ Vocal + Piano male cover - (lyrics by katethegreat19)

[Ignaciootin]

Vaya, vaya. Tienes un montón de piezas excelentes en tu canal, menos mal que me he suscrito. Cuando he visto esto, te seré sincero, he pensado "Dudo mucho que pueda estar a la altura de la de katethegreat", pero me ha encantado. ¡Cantas genial, HollowRiku! ¡Qué envidia me das! Y bueno, en este vídeo no se nota tanto, pero he viso el de Nyan Cat (o algo así) que no sé qué es, pero me ha encantado, y la velocidad a la que mueves los dedos es impresionante. Felicidades otra vez y gracias.

[HollowRiku]

@Ignaciootin ¡Muchas gracias! Bueno, alcanzar el nivel de Kate es imposible!! xD ¡Gracias de nuevo por tus comentarios! *___*

[wiimasterplayer]

A male version of Kate's song.... done really well. :D You sound very "synthetic" like a Vocaloid in this one... and not in a bad way... It provides a melancholic atmosphere :D

[HollowRiku]

@wiimasterplayer Thank you!!

[SailorNightwish1]

Wow. O_O I just want to cry.....X____X Kate did it soo, sooo, SOOO much better and with more emotions!>0<

[Akari8000]

wow! this is so awesome! you have a really amazing voice! great work =^__^=

[HollowRiku]

@Akari8000 Thank you!! *-*

[xXxCbeastarxXx]

@Akari8000 thank you!

[Aesenari]

this song sounds so good in male voice :O why has this not been done sooner, Wonderful cover :)

[HollowRiku]

@Aesenari Thanks O_O Glad you've liked it!!

[Ultimatevegeta1]

Omg! Near the end I felt like I nearly was about to cry and then tears began to run down my cheeks! It's so beautiful <3 The video, your voice, everything!

[HollowRiku]

@Ultimatevegeta1 Aw, thank you so much Ultimate! ;w; I'm so glad you've liked it!!

[FairestRose]

This was an absolutely beautiful version. Espically form a man! I am so proud of yoU!

And the video? Oh, god I never thought to change the POV! It fits both Aerith, Zack and Cloud so well, it makes me want to cry!

[HollowRiku]

@FairestRose Aww, thank you so much Rose!! So glad you've liked it! *-*

Yeah, Romi did an awesome job making this video!!

[Pocklertod]

what should I say?

It's cool? wonderful.. It's..for me it's more than art, can't really discribe..you did a very good job, just go on like this :D

[HollowRiku]

@Pocklertod Aw, thank you! Very glad you've liked it Pockletod!!

[sango180]

OOOOOOOO AWESOMNESSS!!!!!!!



[HollowRiku]

@sango180 Thanks!! *_*

[nardoum]

amazing !!!!!

[HollowRiku]

@nardoum Thank you!!!

[Timinemel]

When I saw the title of this vid, a guy sang aerith's theme, I first thought "It must be a massacre". However, I was impressed: you sang it quite well. Bravo.

[HollowRiku]

@Timinemel Lol! xD Thank you so much Timinemel!

[zeocloud]

@Timinemel I said the same thing when i saw it, and i have the same reaction. Well done dude.

[HeavensAria]

O_O... your voice is very nice and surprisingly fitting. I'm impressed

[HollowRiku]

@HeavensAria Aww thanks a lot Heavens!! ;w;

[HeavensAria]

@HollowRiku Yah no problem! I actually didn't have a high opinion when I saw the title because I thought it would be a half-hearted silly fan posting a video out of boredom but you seem to put a lot of effort and heart into this! Thats why i like it so much! And you really do have a nice tone. I bet other songs would fit your voice better but this is a nice introduction to your tone.

[BerserkChipRants]

sounds like caboose from red and blue is singing.... I love it

[HollowRiku]

@BerserkChipRants Thank you!!! *-*

[MorikoW]

That was such a beautifull fitting video :D

Very nice! Aerith and Zack are great :)

[HollowRiku]

@MorikoW Thanks!!

[MorikoW]

@HollowRiku And very nice singing too.

I really could imagine Zack singing it like this to Aerith :)

[ralahinn1]

I like the original that Kate did, this is a wonderful one too. I can Imagine Zack singing this

[HollowRiku]

@ralahinn1 Thank yo ralahinn!! *-* Of course, Kate's one is unbeatable!!

[Sugarpixieful]

is this aerith's theme or flowers blooming in the church. it sounds like flowers blooming in the church. i could be wrong. i do know both songs on piano but one of the names in japanese and i was told that the japanese one was flowers blooming in the church.

[HollowRiku]

@Sugarpixieful It's actually based on floowers blooming in the church, but both themes are very similar and I guess the "Aerith's theme" title is more popular :3

[haruhi668]

Can i have the instrumental please? :OOOOOOO

[HollowRiku]

@haruhi668 Yep! Let me upload it to a server, I'll add a link in the description box in a few minutes!

[CrystaBlade]

That.....was absolutely......stunning....

[HollowRiku]

@CrystaBlade Thank you crystal!!

[CrystaBlade]

@HollowRiku You're very welcome. At first, I was a little iffy when I saw that it was sung by a male but...you're voice has a kind of haunting, yet soothing quality to it, which is perfect for a character like Aerith. Combined with the video, I was almost in tears

[sweetblackstar]

hey don't even think about deleting it.You really gave zack life through this video ^^ it's beautiful:X

[HollowRiku]

@sweetblackstar Thank you sweet!! Glad you've liked it *_*

[ceheape]

are most of these clips from Crisis Core? I started playing that at Best Buy, but they kicked me out at closing time. :(

[HollowRiku]

@ceheape Yes, they are mostly from Crisis core!

[SerenityShootingStar]

Nooo, Zacksu! ;3; I always feel so sad whenever he or Aerith dies. XDD;; <33

Very well done man, very well done! You sing wonderfully. ^^

[HollowRiku]

@SerenityShootingStar Thanks a lot Serenity!! Glad you've liked it!

[SerenityShootingStar]

@HollowRiku

No problem, hehe. ^^

[theangelkap]

beautiful, abosultly beautiful

[HollowRiku]

@theangelkap Thanks!!

[Kairi160]

increible, por no decir impresionante.

¬¬ lo que no entiendo es como algunas personas no les gusta y le ponen mala puntuación a video...aimmm... bueno a lo que iba, MAGNÍFICO :D

[HollowRiku]

@Kairi160 ¡Gracias Kairi! Bueno, es normal que haya gente a la que no le guste! =P

[ArlianaChan]

This is a very well done version. I applaud you.

[HollowRiku]

@ArlianaChan Thank you!!

[ShadowHoang]

@HollowRiku I wanna make one D:

[SynesterBlack]

I think you did a great job!

[HollowRiku]

@SynesterBlack Thank you!!

[AlexiaRomanov]

I heard you for the first time when I listened to the whole new world collab you did with Kate. I think your voice is absolutely beautiful, you have a lot of talent. I can't decide between the versions of this! lol. You've got yourself a loyal fan now!! :)

[HollowRiku]

@AlexiaRomanov Wow xD Thanks a lot Alexia O_O!! Really appreciate your comment *-*

Kate is obviously much more tallented!! I adore her for what she does, I'm so lucky for having been able to sing a duet with her!!

[Yuna264]

Kate is an amazing artist, but, to be fairly honest... with this cover, I prefer your version. It's almost like it's coming from Zack himself...

Anyway, absolutely gourgeous. <3

[HollowRiku]

@Yuna264 Thanks again Yuna!! Wow, that means a lot O_O Kate's version is way better than mine though! xD

Yep, the way Romi did the vid makes it look like Zack is the one singing! =P

[xxAsteriskxx]

Manly man voice. I was actually gonna comment as soon as I noticed some parts around the beginning that coulda used some vocal harmonies; parallel thirds I had in mind. I got the impression that you weren't going to, but you did around 2:10 and so on. Great to see them. Gave the melody great color. I wish for more male vocal arrangements. All the FF cds have female -_-

[HollowRiku]

@xxAsteriskxx Thanks a lot for commenting Asterisk!!! We should credit most of the harmonies arrangement to katethegreat19, who also wrote the beautiful lyrics *-*

Wow, I had never thought about that xD Even the FF main themes are always sung by women!

[xBinaryxSoulx]

This is pretty good!

[HollowRiku]

@xBinaryxSoulx Thanks!!

[Savagekey12]

the way the amv was made can interpret zack saying goodbye, since ur a male its wicked good too! :D like the meaning of zack saying goodbye to aerith other than katethegreat19's version, with aerith saying goodbye to Cloud and Co

[bellavita90]

I love this version! Could be Zack's perspective since it's a male voice. =)

[HollowRiku]

@bellavita90 Thanks for commenting bellavita! Glad you've liked it :D

[KayaXNinashi]

Really nice ^__^

[HollowRiku]

@KayaXNinashi Thanks!

[lailavasiliki]

Such a soothing voice, I really like it

5 STARS!

:D

[HollowRiku]

@lailavasiliki Thanks!! *-*

[Missdeadroze]

ohmy. that was good really good voice and video. haha and if you play inner glow by blue october at the exact same time as this video it matches almost perfectly........ if only it was a wee bit longer

[HollowRiku]

@Missdeadroze Thank you!! *-*

[NoctisKurisu]

wow ur really good. this song was for a female but ur voice is...it just works xDD definatly a well deserved 5 stars xD

(thinking of doin my own, but my voice keeps missing sum notes Dx i aint a singer lol)

[HollowRiku]

Ur version is male voice and hers is female. To me, each has its own attractive strength.

So I loved both and I had 2 download both into my Mp3 to listen to every day. :x

[HibinoYuki]

Truely beautiful, everything, the vocal, the piano, and the AMV!!! But I think you can increase the piano volume a bit...

[GameGenie710]
