GITS Cyberbird

[Pduarte79]

sexy pic and cool song. I miss this kind of trance music.

[3yamada]

really good music !!!!!!!!!!!

[MasterOfNothingness]

i allways get goosebumbs at 2:03

[ploofedoof]

does anyone know the name of the cello piece in the first season that was in the "anihilation" episode?

[FooLisHBok]

Oh my goodness, I've been looking for this song for years. I couldn't pin it to what show it was from. The break beat and music is so entrancing.

[yodwadre]

it is up to everyone else to get this video up to 11 dislikes - that way we can blame it on the individual 11

[jdc321boom]

@yodwadre But... I don't want to hit the button.

[chimaera89]

That pacman crap at the end scared the shit out of me.

[14leprince]

fuk tht one guy who dislike thiz song -____- smh ..

[BPRMBWAC]

I'll bet that's Geike Arnaert on vocals. Can't blame her for going out on her own with a voice like that!

[BPRMBWAC]

This does sound like Hooverphonic: their vocals & technobeat.

[PoseidonKross2009]

I wish more of the melody from the beginning was included in the rest of the song.

[XCrusherX1]

@PoseidonKross2009 Maybe you like the original "Battersea" from Hooverphonic better then. I was a bit disappointed to see Kanno was more than heavily influenced by other pieces (another example: Where does this ocean go - Hyperballad from Björk). However, I still love this songs and listen to them more than to the original ones.

[PoseidonKross2009]

@XCrusherX1 Although I believe that Kanno could have done better I agree with you. I like this version more than the original.

[PimpLici0us]

"I'm counting on you!"..... best scene ever.

[ColorOfTought]

I listen to this quite often at work.

[OriginalTharios]

Major Motoko Kusinagi could beat the crap out of Neo any day of the millennium. The Matrix is for pansies.

[jesusarcique]

@OriginalTharios Screw you Both are amazing. Dx

[antonio14799]

Epicness

[XxLuggerxX]

Someday i will die listening this song......

[ylndbynum2000]

Is it me or does it seem like the lyrics don't match-up with what the singer is saying?

[rutabagasteu]

It is the kind of excellent music you want to hear on an interstellar ride to other planets.

[pratt123]

@rutabagasteu Hmm, I have always imagined this song as endless falling from the sky.

[ibederping]

Fun fact, we all love Yoko Kanno right? I really do, but this song is not as original as you think. Check out the song: Battersea from an anime released in 1998, I almost couldn't tell them apart!

[loserhero1982]

greatness!



[NimirisCold]

cute...very cute

[GITSSAC2011]

Same song: youtube.com/watch?v=DbXm40-pZX­g#

[blindedby2monkeys]

i'll just leave this ummm in on whatever here

watch?v=6ZuArYiXpkM

[WooZIE997]

id get the major tattooed on me.. a full portrait on my back maybe.. hmmmm

[MrSamixOxo18]

i listen to this song when i run on the treadmill it makes you feel like your flying ^^

[NegroMente]

Total ripoff of Hooverphonic's "Battersea," but I still enjoy the songs Yoko Kanno did in the Macross series.

[SanguineBullet667]

what language is the song in? german? latin?

[melkor1861]

@SanguineBullet667 Japanese apparently, though it does sound similar to the Russian/Latin mashup in some of the other songs on the OST

[SanguineBullet667]

@melkor1861 well i asked because yoko kanno is known to use german and latin in her songs but for the life of me i can't make it out here...

[ImThrowed4Life]

What a badass track! Yoko kanno is definitely beyond genius in creativity

[namatay1]

Yeah thats right, ZERO dislikes

[EazyOleMiss]

wish someone would do a set of these, som of the songs are impossible to find

[Metalmoshking666]

A true wonder it is

I wonder what if Yoko kanno, Origa and susumu hirasawa compose an album togather, that would be the cherry on the cake right there,

[EvlKrazzyBuny]

by far one of the most beautiful things ever created

[pheenix42]

I remember the moment in the episode when the rogue helicopter locked onto the Tachikoma...and it spotted it just in time to spin around and keep its' occupant safe in the pod. The first clue that their A. I. had something going on! =)

[PoniUtinoe]

Awesome men:)

[PoniUtinoe]

cool song, cool, Japanese pancake can awaken feelings, even in stiff Russian officers!

[rikuthe1]

i wonder if this is a whole different genre? seems like im in a intense dream thats really dramatic

[BigHashTouraj]

the artwork is sick!

[verballyinsane123]

I've always loved this song I'm a big fan of Yoko Kanno, but you guys need to listen to Hooverphone's song Battersea, which was created before Ghost in the Shell. I've heard it was the inspiration and model for Cyberbird. Go check it out.

[kram0113]

Luv this song, episode 4 from the second season was the best, plus it was the only episode where u get to see both Jigabachi models. The Jigabachi is the best helicopter design ever made, imagine seeing it in real life. Man, Motoko is one tough chick, holding onto a Jigabachi so that Saito can take out the pilot without destroying the AI.

[krizanya]

i feel free from this stinky world every time i listen to GITS soundtracks

[furorense]

j'avoue elle est super belle ton image!!

[sumpfwarze]

das beste Lied von ghost in the shell und das bild gefällt mir sehr gut, vielleicht sollten sie mal einen film mit grafik hervorbringen kommt sicher gut an!

[Vohton]

Yhis is one of my favorite tunes from GITS, especially when its paired up with that great sequence in Natural Enemy from the 2nd GIG. Thumbs up!

[Paperpockets]

This song makes me want to fly through the deepest depths of the starry universe.

[Almenari]

Indeed...

[Slycooper14]

@Paperpockets the beginning makes me feel like im standing on a cliff watching the sunrise since the music is epic and calming. 0:15-0:32 makes me feel like im running through the wilderness with naruto and we wish to fly so we can see everything better then we do and we fly into the sky and fly with the stars and go out into the universe to fly around the planets. 5:32-5:56 when nightfall comes and me, saya, and hagi gaze under the stars and make wishes on the shooting star showers.

[Paperpockets]

@Slycooper14 Wow, that was a truly beautiful image you crafted in my mind.

This song brings so many imaginative possibilities. I love it.

[Slycooper14]

@Paperpockets im glad we listen to it and thank you

[Metalmoshking666]

@Paperpockets ditto :)

I listen to this song so much

I used to go sleep with it and have all sort of image's and all,

I did not fall asleep

Layed awake for hours just listening and letting its Beauty fill me :)

[Invisiblefiyah]

@Paperpockets

your human body would better suit you here on earth. maybe one day that will be possible, but only if mankind begins to care about space exploration.  nasa just finished up its final spaceflight... maybe when you grow up you could jump start the galactic revolution :b. id be on board.

[EatMoreCrayons]

@Invisiblefiyah It's not it's FINAL spaceflight, it's the last of the voyer-class flights. All they are doing is momentarily closing down the program while they improve the shuttle design for the mars project

[Kiyoko504]

@Paperpockets you think thats weird it makes me think of Swat officers intrupting a hanging at Port Royal in the 1700s talk about screwing with time here and were talking swt officer from like 2600 A.D.

[KatieTC]

Sorry to let you guys in on a secret, I'v got the Full GiTS OST, the song name is Cyber BARD :P <3 love all and ghost in the shell, want motoko for my self :P

[Jagyuchadda]

hmmm, thats weird cuz it says "Cyberbird" on my soundtrack. it doesnt make sense that the name would be inconsistant =X

[digitalchico]

This song is just wow I can see myself in a fantasy world and all in a sudden somethign happens and they need my help andIjust run and run and fight with no worries because this song gives me relaxation making me stronger lol this song is like a fighting song but at the same time relaxes you I love it and the Original version of it Battersea is reaaally good too

[darthakiha]

That's exactly the same feeling I get. =)

Like I'm rushing to protect those whom I love and fight till my last breath to keep them safe.

XD omg I almost teared up just now! wtf is wrong with me lately lol!

[digitalchico]

XDDD

[matrixlone]

so how many dvd movies are there i know solid state society the original film and innocence

[Jagyuchadda]

thats all the movies that im familiar with, if theres more someone plz tell me! xD

[lobstosity9765]

@Jagyuchadda they made 2 other movies that compress the first and second season havent checked them out cause i like the series

[anamAlister]

@Jagyuchadda The Laughing Man

[airplaneracer]

@Jagyuchadda

there are also the series ghost in the shell : stand alone complex.

of wich there is a second series called gohts: sac second gig.

[poeticjames]

@matrixlone Total of 3 movies on dvd and 2 seasons of SAC. There are talks of having a live action movie made

[chrisplus23]

@KatieTC It's actually cyberBrad but we'll let you off ;)

[batou486]

@KatieTC she is bi dipshit +she's mine

[janaesofly234]

i imagine angels singing...*sigh* if only i could sing like that

[Trickishismael360]

The song is beautiful. Everytime I hear it, I imagine a statue of an angel and in the background it's raining. Just a beautiful image. Try to imagine that. I see pure beauty to this song.

[motoko241]

the drumming is the best part of the song!!! i love the end i just have to keep playing this song over and overr...never get tired of it...and personally i think this is better than battersea only because "Gabriela Robin" has a better vocal range and Yoko made it more pop..and with better drums...not to say battersea is bad i just think cyber bird is better and it totally fits for G.I.T.S.

[TheRyad]

I love it except for that weird drumming near the end... wtf is up with that

[maximsilva]

Now this is what iam talking about, time to finish the anime for f*ck sake

[ibisu]

Hell yeah I love you man!

I've been looking 4 this song everywhere

[H4RK4Tbrewing]

Thankyou for contributing the great music! Such great stuff!

[MissCrow86]

Love GITS music, what about the music from Cowboy Bebop Jagyuchadda? :)

[Jagyuchadda]

i havent found an anime that comes close to gits musik... well ok, maybe MAR :P

[fanofjapanandmusic]

MAR? whats that?

[Jagyuchadda]

Marchen Awakens Romance, i think its pretty neat!  =D

[sapphirecircus]

Is Yoko Kanno the musical composer for MAR?

[Jagyuchadda]

im not sure, maybe

[Wintermuted]

The music for Mar was by Daisuke Ikeda. While cool, nowhere near Kanno-sensei tends to go. Cyberbird is but one of many masterpieces she's given us. A true musical visionary.

[sapphirecircus]

Thank you for the info, and right you are on Kanno-sensei^_^

[15deathblade]

this song kick major ass... Ok i didnt mean that as a pun....

[jsoc99]

epic song!!!!!!!!!!

[Yalemannec]

First comment? Hi5!... but ya.. Love this song
