Beginning of Fantasy (Final Fantasy Concert) Part 8

[jimbox114]

I bought and played through the game Final fantasy X-2. I can say the best part of the game was the song 1000 words. I don't mean that to sound negative. I really enjoyed the song and thought it was well made.

[strifey07]

Never heard the Japanese version before, but that was absolutely amazing! I loved it :)

[XxPeaceXxHappinessXx]

It had to have a spazfit when it's one of my favourite songs -_-

[tjk3000]

@vinappleinc who is the vocalist?

[CynHng]

@tjk3000 her name is Sherina :)

[vinappleinc]

Stop comparing her to Koda Kumi, because she's not. Regardless, she's still a lot better than most Korean female vocalist.

[normalman37]

@vinappleinc Uh, What? I beg ur pardon? Who is better than most Korean female vocalist? I BEG your pardon.

[phunghung1989]

i love her :x

[dd7210]

Hello, I am Sam.

I come from Taiwan, would you do me a favor please?

Is there any CD/DVD about this concert?

I just can't find out.(on internet)

I was in Bali 2 months ago, but I didn't find it.

thanks a lot!

[wtanoto]

it's not for sale. it was broadcasted to television only. though I watched the show live.

[Xweart]

Kumi koda is better... but this lady is talented too

[DarkllRenegade]

wow.... hahahaha lol they.... fail at being guitarists... and what was with their hair? hahaha

[Yrpffx21234]

@DarkllRenegade theyre supposed to look like Kadaj, Loz, and Yazoo moron.

[Terradreamer]

Far too much Final Fantasy VII material. As a fan of all of the Final Fantasies, not just the 7th one, I feel a tad robbed =(

[linxZuraith]

I agree. Theirs so many good songs beyound Final Fantasy VII but they always need to play JENOVA or one winged angel. I don't get that.

[Terradreamer]

Well playing Aerith's Theme and One-Winged Angel is perfectly fair, they're famouse tracks and good ones at that....but in this particular concert, they played J-E-N-O-V-A, Tifa's Theme, Cloud Smiles and Those Who Fight as well, the whole concert was monopolised by it. Why they didn't play Theme of Love from Final Fantasy IV is beyond me...or Dancing Mad from Final Fantasy VI or any of the Final Fantasy V material or You're Not Alone from IX...ach, the list of good songs that were missed...

[KouinOokami]

while i disappointed with most of X-2, i liked 1000 words... which is why im a little unhappy that this isnt a 2 person song like in the game... as to some of the older comments, im worried about getting 12 and 13 because of some of the changes they did

[xKuragu]

That was a mistake from the sound team, I bet they used the same config for ochestra instruments on the electric ones lol.

[UchihaFaer1]

What a lifeless bunch of jokers in JENOVA

what a shame

[ninjakampunks]

u r lifeless never-known critics that never accept the facts that anybody better than you [in every aspects of life] FAG

[ImAFake001]

the new age final fantasy including 7,8,and 9 arent as great as the old school ones such as ff6 with kefka, sure the challenge isnt as hard, but it was more blanced, and it was actually a great game as was four and 1 after that they slowly go down hill

[dime0wylde]

nah bro, ff6 is a awsome game but my favourite is ff7 by far, ff10 and especialy 10-2 wernt that great,

[Disuke1]

I just noticed she changed kimonos

[linxZuraith]

The Jenova part in my opinion was pretty bad.

[malcolmeuxerxes]

I think it was just the recording quality, but I hear what you mean.

[linxZuraith]

Nah, The preformance was lifeless and boring.

[Terradreamer]

What they needed.....were the Black Mages ;D

[ninjakampunks]

what do ya expect? moonsault? mosh? acting like kur cobain?

we perform in very limited space, my feet barely can move. i bet u never perform in such big stage that contain hundreds musician!

[linxZuraith]

It was boring visually and audio-lly.

I doubt a bigger stage would have changed anything. Also the costumes are god awfull.

[heason]

u should die

[linxZuraith]

@heason Why? Because you don't like MY opinion?

[ezprezzo44]

are there 1000 words in that song?

[linxZuraith]

Good question. Probably not.

[sl3ptsolong]

I cant get into FF12 at all very disappointing I dont know whether its because I'm older and just dont play games as much. The storyline didnt seem to kickstart at the beginning at all.

[theoracle8191]

I just skipped to Jenova, screw FFX-2 >:)

[Turminak]

Agreed, right in its dirty cornhole.

[emotionless17]

Couldn't agree more. The whole FF X (including -2) really sucked a lot. Didn't feel like Final Fantasy at all. The storyline these days don't feel as grand as the days of FF VII, VIII and IX.

[ohjeezriles]

I'd like to know what you mean, considering FFX was pretty grand imo. Time travel, saving the planet, bizarre religions, and a giant whale? NOPE NOT AT ALL A FINAL FANTASY GAME LAWL

[bazz013]

agreed man the old ones were the best. i hope 13 is not a let down

[Disuke1]

sweet, i wasn't the only one

[daifuku17]

2aresia89: gods I take it back, lol, those wasabi guys....are just something...

1000 words:

Wow, I like this version a lot more that Koda Kumi's... and Jade's of course, I hate Jade's version. Her voice just doesn't sound clean.

[SpazaroththeSkiz]

Such a beautiful song. The singer has a lovely voice.

[areasia89]

1000 words is so beautiful and sad at the same time. It would've been cool if the singer cosplayed as either Lenne or Yuna.

[ballzofsteelz]

naw that would be kinda stupid looking. I like how they dress the singers...kimono are nice and elegant. These songs are so elegant so this is perfect.

[anbuwolff]

ye that woulda been pretty retarded dude, cost play is neva cool...the music though has somthin to it, it aitn all about the game man...

[daifuku17]

cosplay is somewhat unfit for this occassion. This concert is kind of official, not some fanmade thing at a convention. They cloths are chosen nice, though the outfit for melodies of life and eyes on me WAS weird.

[areasia89]

oh, don't get me wrong; i think their kimono's are very pretty. I just thought that dressing like characters would bring out more feeling. I guess it's cuz i'm a cosplayer myself.

No hard feelin's ^-^

[kawaiinekochanchibi]

ainal fantasy 7 is the best GAME ever

[AIRMasster1234]

c sheena my love sakura

i want to hear her voice

[marytifa]

wow!!

1000 words is one of my favorites!!!

[UchihaItachi001]

Beautiful song, i love it!

[jonax64]

This song gave me goosebumps.

[thalivingtruth]

I love the JENOVA new theme

[thalivingtruth]

She song that song from the heart. Amazing.

[kjelfalconer]

I can't believe that made me cry...

[keyenamaku]

sherina has a great voice, i wish i were there to listen her voice..

[Fuzzyfezz]

1000 words!!! woot i know the original ff 10-2 came out with japanese lyrics bla bla bla but i like jade singing better

[ticonar002]

FF7 J.E.N.O.V.A. FTW!!

[kowa1985]

wow! COOL! Indonesian lady sing very well in japanese song. COOL!

[sesshykoi07]

her outfit is gorgeous! matches her voices perfectly. Lovely! koda still rox my sox (and jade)

[bommerxx]

can someone message me with the name of the woman singing this song please?

[jamdinding]

her name is sherina munaf

[toyazeno]

The guy's solo violin is a nice addition XD

[VanillaAkiko]

I like it but Koda Kumi has a better voice^^ Jade too

[juancardemilg]

koda kumi +1

[mightyg]

Jenova pwnz you

[MmZe]

i like 1000 no kotoba but 1000 words is better

[PrincessGarnet16]

i wish she could sing louder but her voice is amzing

[FinalFantasy4Lyfe]

This is 1000 words, right? I'm not sure if it is...but it sounds excellent, very beautiful.

[mktriaj]

whoa!!!!ow i wish i was there......

[Itachix333]

I love her kimono too. I myself own about..7? I love her singing too 5/5

[xoxQuickSliverxox]

Her kinmono is pretty isn't it?

Also she did sound pretty good!

[Yuna668]

This was pretty cool watching!!=)She was great!!=)Great voice!!=)

[unknownyuki]

I like her this kimono too! I like both of them! I want it!!!!!!

[anataria]

WHERE IS KODA?? Was she busy to come to?

However, she did a good job too!! Sherina?

And the music was fantastic <3

[mktriaj]

its nice but i want JADE!!!!!!i want english version!!!!!!

[wtanoto]

translating (not exact though):

whitedredplum: shame the sound system does not work properly on jenova, so its not very audible. they played it very well, but it seems that in this video, it's not perfect

wtanoto: there is a repaired version. just look at my user page

[whiteandredplum]

ahhh sayang banget sound systemnya kaco pas jenova, jadi kurang kedengeran T^T padahal mereka mainnya udah keren...

trus kok kayanya di video ini putus2 lagunya?

[wtanoto]

ada versi repairnya koq! cari aja di userku

[fantasychild789]

?the bands name is WASABI?!

hilarious!! but the songs awesome!

[Masumisthebest1]

what the hell? Emos who the heack are thease guys

[yaruk45]

Omg stupid faggots get a life, stop saying she's not that good, i think she did a great job. Koda kumi and jade may be better but HELLO, SHE IS NOT KODA KUMI OR JADE! ¬¬+

[jessutubedavies]

jade is long way better...more than koda kumi...and...this one...

[PrincessGarnet16]

ok 4 lyrics jade WAS BETTER it was touching

but I LOVED koda kumis voice cause it was sooo powerful

both r good 2 me

[PrincessGarnet16]

jade lyrics were better and much more touching i agree

but also koda kumi's voice was very powerful

thats why i love both

[JapaneseSapphire]

This person does not know the lyrics!

[Nainara]

:DD

[DanLikesSpam]

i'd love to go to this...

[DutchessoftheMoon]

Jade from Sweetbox is way better. Her voice is to high-pitched for this song.

[kapoola]

FINAL FANTASY X-2 IS THE BEST ONE

[MetalMiller]

HAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHA PLEASEEEE dont insult the other games like that. ffX-2 shouldnt even be considered a FF game ..its terrible..hey lets use our cool dress grids yeah! its just a terrible game compared to...ANY of the others...even VIII

[kapoola]

u r a fag

[MetalMiller]

haha...if u say so

[zakbwoy2king]

Well, it's good. But she ain't Jade. Jade is 10/10, while she's 7/10. But still good. 4/5*.

[sm3llyb3ast]

Koda Kumi is the original singer of Sen No Kotoba.

Jade did 1000 words(the English version).

[zakbwoy2king]

yh but Jade sings much better.

[OrriG]

Haha Well.

The person singing in this concert isn't Koda.

Koda is really good.

[ballzofsteelz]

the muisc is louder than the singer..thats a problem they have to fix. cuz songs that have vocal in it. its all about the voice. on both three song the music is louder than the singer. that suks.

[RaineChen]

o..wat r they doin...dun ruin my lovely ff songs...n wats the language she sang...???where the hell they r from???

[Auron710]

theyre singing in japanese but they r not japanese! oh come on i liked it! better than them not doing it! and the musicians sound awesome!

[Eurusia]

i think theres something wrong with the Jenova song... its really choppy

[hasumizu]

sherina sucks! her japanese pronounce is extremely bad! why didn't she just sang in english? xP

if she love japan so much(that's what she's said in one magazine i read) ,, she should keep study and practise a lot to it's language!

[burtonngoc]

i like this song very much. but i like jade's version.

japanese is ok. but i don't understand this language.

[AkiMasamune]

it was pretty good, but couldn't compare with the originals.

i still kinda wish that they did do real emotion, though.

[Rranger22]

she's kawaii n good eye candy!

[Baltheir81]

the girls cute hehe love the song.

[Thruckeh]

Imagine trying to play real Emotion with an orchestra! xp

[16CmC16]

i may say that 1000 words so far is the most lovely song of final fantasy... right?

[redounet06]

don't forger Eyes on me

[JohnnyParadise45]

I agree, Eyes On me is my favorite.

[persada]

There is issue that the second concert of Final Fantasy by Twilite Orchestra is going to be held in the new mall SMS (Sumarrecon Mall Serpong)Indonesia on the 1st of July 2007. does anyone know this is true or not? hopely it is correct!! gw bisa balik ke indo buat nonton piala asia ama konser FF horeee...

[Rikusgirl1]

1000 Words...English, Japanese, both beautiful!

JENOVA...I remember that...awesome!

[BloodyScreams]

I love Sherina's version of 1000 words!

Its so fluidy, less like Koda Kumi...

Like a medium between Jade and Kumi...

Its nice! :)

[greenstreaked]

=D i didnt realise sherina's all grown up. oh well, i've not been in indonesia for a long time now... =( (*homesick T_T) great to see an awesome concert played by indonesians =D thanks for uploading the video, man, it does wonders to homesick overseas indonesians. =)

[Kunaygi]

That band sucks ¬¬

[anonimagc]

no kunaygi, no! it rocks. ¬¬

[ZanarkandApe]

her voice wrecks a lil bit oh the song... :\ but the rest looks ok

[kasaidraco]

Better than Koda Kumi and Jade<--(Yuck!)

[wtanoto]

jade is ugly. Kumi is better. My sister said that compared to RIKKI and Kumi, Sherina is better

[empallover]

OH MY GOSH! WHEN IS IT?

[empallover]

was*

[wtanoto]

Long time ago (Summer 2006) in Indonesia

[chocosora]

Sherina.. She was a popular lil' singer from indonesia. She even made once a video with the Westlife singing "I have a Dream". Oh well, but her voice isn't such special. Good performance on this, though.

[JacQ437]

she's good but i think she breathes too much

[sageeagle]

JENOVA!!!

[oopopp]

I wonder how much it was to attend this concert? I'd pay big bucks if they came here.

[handokoaza]

not more than US$50

[jgr2021]

If you paid attention to the series music you would know that the version of Jenova they played was the version featured in Advent Children. So it is true to that version. If you also take notice the three members are dressed as the clones.

[gredgie]

Isn't the general opinion that FFX-2 smushed the principles of FFX into the ground?

[Kirov123]

not really no, It just wasn't as good as the others, they crammed it with Side quests which people didn't like. It was an alright story but it could have been a lot better.

[Thruckeh]

I agree. It had many downsides but overall it wasn't that bad. I think FF fans generally didn't like it because it was totally different and a little immature. That's probably why I loved it as much as FFX.

[FabledSoulofkh]

1000 kotoba (words) was done very well, but I prefer Koda Kumi.

[SuperSnakeEater]

I'm thinking of buying FF X-2 now! That was beautiful, the way she sang it, the melody, everything. I've heard that game sucked though, oh well I guess.

[wtanoto]

compared to FFX, yes, it sucked. But the song is good

[Thruckeh]

>.< X-2 still ruled. :O

[Dawnbringer65]

i dont know what there is wrong with the jenova version?

I think this sound great. I also listend to the one of the black mages and maybe its just me bust it sound very bad. This concert is great and jenova is a great title in it.

[ilikefinalfantasy]

i think in 1000 no kotoba the original one sound better but she did very good and i'll be pround for her to sing any new ff song!

JENOVA is okay, i don't really like the band they try to be cool but they not! sorry!

[wtanoto]

you don't know what song they performed before they performed JENOVA, do you?? It is not shown on any of my video, but I can say it's absolutely UGLY (I watched it live), unrelated to FF

[Leiouekairna]

1000 Words was pretty good but that other band sucked...i think they were trying to look like kadaj yazoo and loz...

[grego701]

And that Jenova performance was OK.

[grego701]

She wasn't loud enough. But still great performance!

[MusicLover017]

1000 words was ok....JENOVA made me cry inside....my garage band sounds better than that! and for all you who are saying this is awsome go online or go to the store and listen to the Black Mages do this...you will be blown away on how great this piece can really sound!

[Rikkusmiles]

She sang sen no kotoba really well even though she wasn't Japanese. She sang it with feeling too!!! XD

[xFinalFantasyx]

GREAT T_T

[45kl]

Those guys/girls look so dark...

[Summertimakiller]

JENOVA rocks!!

[bikolayans]

i think it should be a japanese to sing this song. so, she can show more feelings to the song.. i nver felt it that she sings it with all her heart...

[queenanthai]

EEEEEE! "1000 no Kotoba!" Thank you so much for posting this! I saw "Dear Friends" which obviously didn't have X-2 music, and I'm so happy I get to hear this orchestrated. :)

[SoulboundNun]

1000 Words and JENOVA was so awesome! xD

[Xlthanga]

I love the orchestral ver. of 1000 words I wish Koda Kumi did it too. The singer Sherina is pretty good but she pronounces the words too sharply (i guess there is a difference to knowing the words and actually understanding them)

[wtanoto]

koda kumi sings 1000 no kotoba orchestrated version as well, if you have ffx-2 soundtrack, japanese version

[corneliusfingers]

Never 1000 Words orchestral before. BRILLIANT!

[hkrickywu]

i like jade's version more~ can anyone send this song to me btw?? my computer got reboot n i lost it >.<

[velkyenute]

hah,, u like jade's version?? disagree,, koda kumi is better...

[ascalonlionheart]

i like her....

[bongwaterlu]

Who is this singer? Sherina? Never heard of her but she's pretty good. Don't normally like the orchestral version either.

[wtanoto]

yes, sherina. How do you know her name while you live in UK? are you indonesian?

[krayzeeryan]

lol it says it in the video

[rio197]

Sherina started out as a child singer and is famous in her country. She had good range for her age. Haven't followed her career in a long time.

[aeris211]

wow
