i think after listening to this at least five times every day for the past couple weeks... i should like it before i get lost in the music and forget again. :I
I stumbled upon your youtube channel just 5 minutes ago and this was the first song that I heard. I wish I had found out about you and your beautiful voice/music sooner.
lsdfhsdfh you just totes made my day. Escaflowne is my favorite anime and I own the movie. Unfortunately, the sound track comes with lyrics for everything BUT that song. XD that made me a bit sad, but from audio, it sounds a perfect match. Again, your musicality and your tone are pitch perfect, sending shivers all across me. You're just amazing, and I can't wait to see what you cover next!
No matter what it is, you put your own unique touch onto anything you work on. In this case your style is draped over an already beautiful song which only helps to enhance the original sound and allow your own variation of it to shine through.
Beyond beautiful <3 I also love the choice of scenes you arranged together, they really showcased the beauty of the animation in this movie. Together with your beautiful singing~
Kate, I've had this stuck in my head all evening.. singing along to it.. even though i'm not sure of the lyrics xD I love how this build up from soft, to BOOM at the end! Melli loves you <3 I had to download it, and add it with the rest. My ipod is full of kate-chan love <3 :D
I very much like this cover and song... The placement of the drums and flute/recorder is perfect, and your voice really works I find.
If you don't mind, would you check this song out? It's the 'Song of the Nahji' from 'Guardian of the Spirit'. It is very similar to this song because of the historical, feudal Japan-ish style of composition.
You may have already been told, but Yoko Kanno has a habit of writing "nonsense" lyrics that don't really mean anything, or if they do, only mean something to her. Beautiful though. Loved it!
This is so beautiful :) Have you ever thought of covering 'Sora' by Yoko Kanno, also in Escaflowne? It's incredibly beautiful and I think it would suit your style down to a T :) In fact I think it could be better than the original!
Wow, I didn't think anyone watched Escaflowne anymore. This takes me back a decade. Good thing your music always makes me feel light, otherwise I'd be feeling old! You add your trademark beauty to this song.
@CommercialAtrophy It has. Her first CD was released a while back, and she will be taking a trip to Japan this spring to work with a well-known composer there.
Goddamnit Kate, I now know more songs in Japanese than English because of you and your amazing music. Can't stop singing this, though I could never dream of having such a voice. A voice like yours would enthrall a Siren.
AH HA! I have FINALLY worked out how to get YouTube to send me notifications when you upload new videos because I keep missing them! *Sobs* However, I am here now... catching up. Lucky me, eh?! I get to watch several new vids (to me at least) all at once! ♥
...this has only reminded me though how much I miss talking to you, Kae-sama... *Sniffle*
And God, do I miss making vids for you too. >_<
*Huggles* Despite not knowing the proper lyrics though, lovie, you did an absolutely Stella job! ♥
I own the special edition of this movie and it came with the soundtrack. I used to torment my friends in the car while driving places with this track because I would put it in a loop. It's a bunch of children singing out of tune and clapping.
This is truly gorgeous. From the moment I first clicked on it to the end, I was enraptured. Totally speechless. You have a rare and remarkable talent.
I've always wondered if there was an instrumental version of this song, or whether this was a traditional japanese song or something. Either way, it has always haunted me with its melancholic tune. Now that I've heard your cover, I must say, you did it much justice. I'm sure Yoko Kanno herself will be proud to hear this. :) Thank you, dear.
amazing beauty! i'm a writer, and this helps so much! whenever i have writer's block, or i need background music for a scene, i always come to you first! thank you, so, so much kate
Here's what happens every time I listen to your singing (cover or original), I listen to it once, am left speechless and then listen to it for roughly an hour on youtuberepeat. This one was no exception, can't wait for what's next.
@xhandxofxhonorx There are so many lovely languages on this Earth....why should I limit myself to only English? xD Also, you have to understand, most of the music I cover is from Japan (anime and game themes), and yes, sometimes the songs from Japan will be in Japanese. It's only natural :)
I know not too many Escaflowne songs have lyrics to them, but as beautiful as you made this song, I'd love to see what you could do with Yubiwa or Tomodachi. I bet you'd make either one of those amazing.

Escaflowne! I haven't seen this movie in forever! Thanks for bringing back fond memories of watching soooo much anime together with a friend of mine! Have a blessed and Merry Christmas!
Escaflowne! I haven't seen this movie in forever! Nor have I heard the name mentioned in ages! Thanks so very much for bringing back fond memories of my friend and I watching soooo much anime together! Have a blessed and Merry Christmas Ms. Kate!

@OneoftheGreenKirtle Hmm O.O I know the actual composition is by Yoko Kanno, however it could be inspired by something traditional, I also know of some very similar melodies :)
Oh! Escaflowne music! Escaflowne was one of my early anime favorites. It's nice to hear you do a cover of one of the songs. You did a heckuva job extending a song that, on the OST was only 42 seconds long. Nice!
This was the first Anime I bought on DVD. and this song, (with Meryl singing with the kids) always sticks out in my mind. You did a beautiful job covering it, as always.
@katethegreat19 i just watched the movie and i thought it was amazing and the song is actually i think he song is played at two pretty good times for people to remember
u never cease to amaze me w/ ur talented arrangement and beautiful voice. Whenever i listen to ur music and covers, a rush of clam overwhelms me. I really love your work. Keep up the exquisite work!
This is so beautiful!!! I loved the movie and I remembered this song! I'm so glad you did a cover of this. You made the whole song shine beautifully!! As expected! Great job!!
This is truly a gift just in time for Christmas. I honestly feel like Escaflowne's music track is completely unappreciated and overlooked. I hope you plan on doing a little arrangement with Sora.
But now some information concerning the lyrics. Yoko Kanno actually made up the language using a mix of European languages. She calls it "Ancient Romanian". Shanti Snyder is the vocalist that sung the songs composed by Yoko Kanno for Escaflowne.
can we have a song for the upcoming holidays please? i wouldn't mind having Christmas carols stuck in my head for weeks if they were sung by Erutan! :)
This is really great, I almost can see the Picture.
Children plays around with some young adult. They sing and pray. People's working, look at the children with a smile... The sky is so blue... The bird join with the theme...
The effect of this song is nearly reach out like "Under the Old Tree" from the game Stronghold. But i'm really sad to say that it lacks something, something pure, something... more life. Maybe only 1 voice can't express enough or maybe you got it somewhere wrong.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA its Kate Covington my heart is melting like a teenage girl at a Justin Beiber concert. AAAAAAAAAA
Seriously, I just got swept away on the wisp of a cloud. I listen to song and it is like the world transforms before me. Suddenly I am in fantastic place, its like sprinkling salt on a bland reality.
that was awesome!!! you have the best voice ive heard other then 'Celtic Woman' band. could you write a song for the 'Tuck Everlasting' movie. using the melody of their music box?
When I rewatched Escaflowne a few mos ago, I really loved it but since it wasn't that clear on the series (as it is mostly used as background song) I can't appreciate it much. Thanks for making this wonderful arrangement! Love it!
@matthuhew4 haaaa no it's actually YT's way of showing its 'love' xD Notice how there are over 400 likes while the viewcount is 301.... it's not possible O.o; YT nearly always freezes views for the first few days ^.^;; It'll catch up in a few days hopefully!
@matthuhew4 Yeah, the views only updated every so often, and in any video that gets a good amount of views in a short amount of time, it always freezes around just over 300. Look at any popular Youtubers videos that just came out today.
My Japanese is really rusty so I'm not all that confident, but here's my best guess:
kakurenbo, kakurenbo
osena ni kakurenbo
najoshite douro ga
???, ???
Hide & Seek, Hide & Seek,
Hide & Seek on the back (of some unnamed thing)
Why is/does the road/highway
???, ???
"Osena" looks like a "little kid" way of saying "senaka" to me based on some Japanese google hits. "Majoshite" is way of saying "Naze" or "Dono you ni shite" used in the Iwate or Fukushima Prefectures, according to a Japanese forum.
Oh so lovely, Kate! Always a pleasure to see you've uploaded something I'll be listening to on loop for a week. :D
I used to be proficient at Japanese and I can tell you that first, yes, it is all in Japanese and translatable. The only word I recognize without fail is "kakurenbo", which is the word for "hide and seek".
Also while I was searching, it's very cute, the JP version of YT, niconico, has some of your videos. With a lot of hits! The Japanese really like your voice too. :D
Ah. Escaflowne! I love it! I never thought anyone would ever do anything with this song - I loved it from the film. So glad you covered! Did a great job as always!
Kanno's known for just using random syllables in her songs, so chances are you'll never find a real set of lyrics and chances are even slimmer that you'll find a translation.
Fantastic to see you've got something new up ♥ It's fantastic to hear your beautiful singing voice again.
Utterly beautiful and I love the historical style. Your voice is as lovely as ever. I think when anyone creates something they have fallen in love with, their skill is magnified. Thank you for sharing this with us. Lovely.
Omg, you are covering one of my favorite all time artists! KATE THIS IS AMAZING! Please, please, record more of Yoko Kanno's lesser known works! You do such a wonderful job!
I LOVE YOU!!! I miss this series, and the movie was so pretty. You should do that other song too, Sora. That has to be one of my favorite songs. You have such a beautiful voice! Now I'm going to go watch the movie. I miss it.
omg amazing as always. I would double subscribe if I could. Loved the movie when I was younger, never saw the anime. Listening to this I may have to look up the movie again.
Welcome back, Miss Kate. Seeing this back up again really made my day! =D

When I rewatched Escaflowne a few mos ago, I really loved it but since it wasn't that clear on the series (as it is mostly used as background song) I can't appreciate it much. Thanks for making this wonderful arrangement! Love it!

Amazing, in every way.
Absolutely beautiful sound!
And the research into languages, not just the vocals and instrumentals, shows how much work you put into your works in this underappreciated genre.
I hope you know there are many who stand in awe. :-)

Absolutly beautiful Kate especially considering you had no sheet music to go off of. Does anybody know why it always stops on 301 views?

Only 301 views... I'm starting to think your fans are abandoning you...
But I'll stick with you forever and ever, talent is rare to come by, in my opinion..

@matthuhew4 haaaa no it's actually YT's way of showing its 'love' xD Notice how there are over 400 likes while the viewcount is 301.... it's not possible O.o; YT nearly always freezes views for the first few days ^.^;; It'll catch up in a few days hopefully!

kawaiiakuma1313 2 months ago
@matthuhew4 Yeah, the views only updated every so often, and in any video that gets a good amount of views in a short amount of time, it always freezes around just over 300. Look at any popular Youtubers videos that just came out today.

My Japanese is really rusty so I'm not all that confident, but here's my best guess:
kakurenbo, kakurenbo
osena ni kakurenbo
najoshite douro ga
???, ???
Hide & Seek, Hide & Seek,
Hide & Seek on the back (of some unnamed thing)
Why is/does the road/highway
???, ???
"Osena" looks like a "little kid" way of saying "senaka" to me based on some Japanese google hits. "Majoshite" is way of saying "Naze" or "Dono you ni shite" used in the Iwate or Fukushima Prefectures, according to a Japanese forum.

Oh so lovely, Kate! Always a pleasure to see you've uploaded something I'll be listening to on loop for a week. :D
I used to be proficient at Japanese and I can tell you that first, yes, it is all in Japanese and translatable. The only word I recognize without fail is "kakurenbo", which is the word for "hide and seek".
Also while I was searching, it's very cute, the JP version of YT, niconico, has some of your videos. With a lot of hits! The Japanese really like your voice too. :D

Kanno's known for just using random syllables in her songs, so chances are you'll never find a real set of lyrics and chances are even slimmer that you'll find a translation.
Fantastic to see you've got something new up ♥ It's fantastic to hear your beautiful singing voice again.

Utterly beautiful and I love the historical style. Your voice is as lovely as ever. I think when anyone creates something they have fallen in love with, their skill is magnified. Thank you for sharing this with us. Lovely.
