Eiko Shimamiya - Wheel of Fortune (Unmei no Wa)

[smartgirl889]

i still dont get why they made it into a live action, the anime and manga was just fine. also she has a beautiful voice! ^_^

[Sivetties]

i love looking at her mouth!!! its so kawaiii

[MattaDeKazeo]

Demon's eyes x3

[doomanimefrei]

To me, this song is a combination of the openings of the series

[tmac20071]

When i first heard this in the opening of Shrill Cries of Summer i thought this was awesome and fit in right with the movie!!!! She has a very beautiful voice for some reason she reminds me of Hikaru Utada.

[cupcakeforever100]

I like this song. They should of put it in the anime.

[Akaikitsune13]

the best song in this crazy world!

eiko-sama has the best voice in universe!

damn it, it´s just too awesome!!!!!!

[Shrizzitania]

Doesn't Unmei mean fate?

[Sysia0205]

@Shrizzitania Yes, it does~ So? ^-^

[Shrizzitania]

@Sysia0205 Well, if it's unmei no wa then shouldn't it be Wheel of fate? Why is it fortune?

[Sysia0205]

@Shrizzitania I've just checked it. "Unmei" means "fortune" too :3

[EmaEiishi]

@Sysia0205 fate, not fortune.

[Sysia0205]

@EmaEiishi Check it one more time. "Unmei" (運命) just means "fate; destiny; fortune."

[EmaEiishi]

@Sysia0205 幸運 <--- that's fortune. Please, i study both Chinese and Japanese. Do not try to rise a fruitless debate.

[Sysia0205]

@EmaEiishi Why are you so mean? ;_; Can't you be more polite?

[EmaEiishi]

@Sysia0205 My apologises. It just seems that you're the type that needed more bluntness for my point to get through.

[Sysia0205]

@EmaEiishi No! Just... In your first comment you should have said that you study Japanese and Chinese xD" I don't study these langueages so I only believe what other people say on forums ><" I'm sorry too!

[Selenurio]

Excelente rola! genial!

[SukiSakura4]

wow, i <3 her music. i <3 her's and Utada Hiakru's

[Kimidori81]

Eiko Shimamiya rocks!!! She's my favorite artist in I've :)

[scagish]

EPIC... i just love it so much

[hiyoriuchiha999]

Its so sad she has cancer! I just found out today when doing my japanese project!...SAD!!! T_T

[vanishy0urself]

@hiyoriuchiha999 thyroid cancer, which is almost never inoperable, surgery usually succeeds... so it's not THAT bad, but it still sucks and on top of that, the surgery can potentially alter her voice. It's quite possible that even having a different voice she will find a way to make it work, but it still sucks.

[Firepaw997]

The movie was awful compared to the anime, but the music was AWESOME.

Eiko has one of the most beautiful singing voices I've ever heard.

[lucasmoon123]

this is amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[CuRSe0011]

her songs are so poetic, such an art to hear through my own ears.

[TsumeSlash335]

i haven't listened to this song in ages, man i forgot how amazing it was.

i <3 eikoooo

[sophie99sam]

*goosebumps*

[Lishy1]

There is no Higurashi Live Action adaption. What is this movie people speak of? There's only some awesome music and a taboo of a high school drama.

[Platsick]

@Lishy1 Wait, what do you mean? There ís a live action movie of Higurashi no naku koro ni. :l

[Lishy1]

@Platsick I do not know the existence of such a movie you speak of. There is an anime, manga, the drama cds, novels, and original VN. But there was never a Higurashi movie just like how there was no Tsukihime anime.

[Platsick]

@Lishy1 Just because you don't know it it doesn't mean it isn't there. I said already, there ís a live action movie. There are pieces of it throughout the clip of the song.

[Lishy1]

@Platsick Way to kill the joke .__.

[Platsick]

@Lishy1 quite unfunny joke it was then.

[Lishy1]

@Platsick You never saw the movie then.

[Platsick]

@Lishy1 Did. it was horrible.

Joke still remains unfunny though.

[Pschokid]

Tanks for the lyrics :D

[orangedream]

There is live action movie for the anime ?? OMG.!! I'm missing out the show!! LOL.

[WolfsRainFan4ever]

Hey aweome! XD I like how he had the rena-eyes at the end =3=

[KKbook]

she reminds me of Evanescence... she has that same heartbreakingly beautiful voice, and their genres are similar

[stephuuuou]

OMYGOD LOVE THIS SONG <333

[pikachu9721]

the little boy is gonna grow up to be really hot

[naruto15955]

i cant believe she has thyroid cancer. such an amazing voice!!!!

[vanishy0urself]

@naruto15955 well I think she didn't have it back when she was singing all these songs... but yes, the news is sad.

[Sac077]

3 people accidently hit the dislike button

[naruto15955]

[naruto15955]

this song gets pretty and prettier each time i want it.

[diyanuh]

[hilarioph]

I reed on Anime news that Eiko Shimamiya

has a thyroid cancer. Let's pray together

so that she be ok. :-(

[LupusLapin]

I love this song so much. <3 For some reason, it reminds me of Evanesence, in terms of style. It's not so anime-ish, but it drives the point. ^-^

[HanakoFujita]

Is that Keiichi swinging a bat? Wow... Awesomeness! 5/5

[pathiiixx]

muy buen videi :D

[MaidenPhoenix]

Her voice is really captivating o3o~!

[kitadefan007]

Where do they sell this? I haven't been able to find it anywhere in the U.S.

[kitadefan007]

This anime is the most fucked up shit I've ever seen in my human life.

[xXSekiRayXx]

@kitadefan007 that may be true, lol, but it's a good show! :)

[belly8900]

AWESOME AND EPIC

[MissBMoon]

She said: "The song goes well with the movie... but did you got it??? The woman that sing's is too old!! "

Well... she may be old but I really love all her song's, she totally got the spirit of Higurashi when she wrote the song's ^_^

And she has an incredible good voice...

[ivanight2]

he or she says that the singer of this movie is too old or at least thats what i think he or she means

[YUUK0CHAN]

This is the official song video, so I didn't do this.

[Akaikitsune13]

[Redrun12]

[MelodiousTrance]

[Mongoongen]

T__T Waa, I love Eiko... <3 She's just so awesome...<3 I want to meet her so much, ofcourse, if I ever do I might just end up crying... T__T < 33

[Mongoongen]

Does anybody know how old Eiko is and when she was born? I've wondered about this for some time now... And it makes me crazy XD

[Reila123]

The Japanese aren't as open about celebrity information as America is, all that I can find is that she was born on April 20th and she's been active as a vocalist for 11 years now.

[Mongoongen]

Yeah, I know, and especilly when it's a woman o_O

Yeah, I heard that too, but like that helps? ;__; God, I want to know how old she is!

[mashara5]

why dont you look it up instead of being lazy? :P

[Mongoongen]

Are you being funny? HUH? D< lol, just joking x D Well, I've already done =__=

[mashara5]

lol, I was reading ur reply and was like "what is this person talking about?" - I forgot I even made that comment!- I really ought to improve my memory! :P

[Mongoongen]

x D Hehe, take care. : ) I'm like that sometimes too. x D It's so confusing.

[Mongoongen]

GTWUOEGTUIG#ue...... I LOVE EIKO! <3

[SnickerzAnime14]

Eiko Shimamiya is so beautiful and talented. I want to meet her someday.

*0*

[Mongoongen]

[Mongoongen]

[demondpimp]

[kira94655]

[kira94655]

its the second movie its about the last arc in season 1 in the anime

[GoodAnime]

Oh, thank you!! I'm going to watch the first and second movie now. :3

[Mongoongen]

Eiko, I EFFING LOVE YOU!

[ButterflyUta]

I think I'd prefer to translate "Wheel of Fortune" to "Wheel of Fate" or "Wheel of Destiny". Maybe it's just me, but I think that it would suit the song better to be translated that way LOL. Then again, I guess the english title is Wheel of Fortune, so a different translation in the song would be strange...

[KissTheLies]

I'd been thinking that too! I've seen the word translated elsewhere as fate...but then again, in some english books, people use this particular phrase to mean fate anyway XD

[ButterflyUta]

Really? I've never heard it before o_o;;

[KissTheLies]

It's not that common but some books like to try and be mysterious by saying things like 'the wheel of fortune has begun to turn for you...' and whatnot.

[ButterflyUta]

Oh, I see :D

[Lavist]

So....the title is wheel of fortune or wheel of fate?

[clevomon]

Two ways of saying the same thing. ^_^ The title is, in English, "Wheel of Fortune".

[Lavist]

oh ok thanks for clearing that up cause unmei is fate then i thought it was weird how come the title was fortune

[Azuwr]

kore.. sugoi ~!!

[aion1979]

i love this song and movie! Higurashi no naku koro ni rules! *add to faves

[KissTheLies]

Anyone else think they're in love with this lady? *swoons* I can't get enough of this song.

[WIISHTFAUU]

It's all fun and games until someone claws their own throat out.

[KissTheLies]

XD What do you mean? That's when the fun begins

[Theant19]

Love this song like anime

[taikokuro]

this video appears in the dvd of the movie? or...where?

[YUUK0CHAN]

It's just the Music Video of the song. On the DVD you only have the normal OP as seen in my upload.

[taikokuro]

Uhm, then, it will be finded by the song...

Thank you!

[keysiy]
