Romeo X Juliet OP

[thoSelaStnightS21]

I think after listening to this throughout the series, you begin to have sorta nostalgic feeling when you hear it. Like I'll be at Meijer and the english version will be playing; I just can't help but sing along. The Japanese version sounds so powerful and strong, especially the OP version, and Lena Park has a beautiful voice. I love Romeo X Juliet, and it's probably my favorite anime of all time. ^_^

[kousagichan3]

this song is the besttt :D :D :D this version kinda sounds like has more passion and depth along with this anime series :') ^.^

[HikachiNakashima]

God i love this anime so much, it truely is worth the waching much better then the old story.

[Butterfly1fly1away96]

i love this opening and romeoxjuliet

[bestTenma94]

Quanto si sente che la cantante non è giapponese...

[VampireShivoy]

I think Romeo looks like Marth in Fire Emblem/Super Smash Bros Brawl x__x

[rebekahirish]

You Raise Me Up in Japanese?

[Witch411101]

@rebekahirish It has been covered like a thousand times.

[margareth1998]

como se llama la cancion o endonde la puedo descargar ??

[sabridd45]

makes me cry :')

[skorpios]

the opening still makes my cry

[xXwapa98xDXx]

OMG I LOVE IT ;w;

[eviloatmeal98]

sigh. i wish the original was as good as this.

[LuckyAlice23]

this anime is so beautiful!!! yet so sad... it has everything!

[HuiChen03]

death note is overrated!

time to be thumbs downed a million times :D

[kminsang]

Good anime, but the best? Ever heard of deathnote?

[Himewna]

@kminsang ehhh I think Deathnote is overrated :P This certainly isn't the best anime but by damn it is good, and so it Deathnote, so don't get the wrong impression :D They're both good, but in different ways.

[chaoluv041]

@kminsang ever heard of clannad? e 3e

[kleash]

Holy shit...it's been 4 years already?

[CookiWolf]

i finished this anime early 2011... its September and im about to start crying all over again, and i still know all of the words...... this is the most epic anime i have ever seen............... aww jeeze, here it comes D"""""""""""""X!!!!

[69Sadistic69]

when i read the summary of romeo and juliet .....it somehow made me think that the story was kind of stupid.......but this anime changed my opinion

nc

[WhiteEmerald1991]

In a way, there was a happy ending. Spoiler Alert! Juliet and Romeo are together in the afterlife. And Neo Verona is at peace once again. I feel like crying.

[xVanysiax]

I wanted then to have a happy ending SO MUCH!! But, I guess they are fated to always die. I cried like a baby at the end!! T_T

[NorwayAMVs]

Best Anime Ever Romeo X Juliet

then Blood+

then Eden of the east

[Warlin32]

I will love this anime for the rest of my life!!!!!!

[lady88569]

Even though they died it was a lesson for us that LOVE IS TRUE and TRUE LOVE WILL STILL EXIST AFTER DEATH.

[AndraNewMoon]

I LOVE THIS ANIME <3 it was simple beautiful , i was so sad that they died in the end :(but their love never died ^_^ <love this anime

[MiatheCat45]

omg you raise me up in Japanese sounds awesome!

[rachiru143]

i think this is the first shakespeare play that they made it into anime...if not then.. TELL ME! I WANT TO WATCH IT!! xD

[SnackAttac]

I have to say that this anime was even better after I read the original play :)

[Lulu52452]

I like berry this song is perfect

[renada95]

THE BEST ROMEO AND JULIET VERSION EVER !!!!

thumbs up if u agree

[Himewna]

@renada95 It's better than the original. xD these characters at least have a shred of common sense)

[AquaticMeeps]

@renada95 God no. This anime is a disgrace.

It misses the point of the original work entirely. It's not a 'version' of Romeo and Juliet - it's just a generic fantasy romance anime with Shakespearean names tacked on.

[GreenEyedMonster101]

@ ayano335: You do know this is supposed to be like Romeo and Juliet by Shakespeare, right? They *have* to dies. Otherwise, it isn't Romeo and Juliet.

[hmoozaw]

notice juliet naked at 1:05

[Ayano335]

this story is so sad,at the end they both died :'(

[MsRisette]

I never actually watched this anime .. and, my classmate(she's an otaku) said the songs is so GOOD! I thought it was joke, then i try to listen .. but I wonder why my tears fall from 0:34 - end .. :'(

[xXDropAnimeHeartXx]

I LOVE THIS ANIME !!!! Sometimes I cry at this anime !!

[AwesomeLilyZ]

Saddest anime ever!!! I cried my eye balls out dude!!! -_- I still cry when I see stuff like this its just so sad and plus the ending is even sadder than the real Shakespeare Romeo and Juliet!!! Soooo sad

[xtoryxisxcoolx]

I god to do an extra credit essay in my english class about what I've seen that's related to Shakespeare. I wrote about this anime, I wrote...

"This is the only anime to ever make my heart break, cause me to cry and every other emotion you can think of. It's truly one of the best animes I've seen."

Every word was true, I cried so much because of this anime..

[devilerangel607]

i mean raise srry

[devilerangel607]

can i ask is the rise me up song is kinda like a christian song?

[elusuario989]

Songs bring out thoughs, with that said, this song almost, almost makes me cry, what a beautiful song :*)

[iPoopCookies]

Of all the animes I watched this is the best :)

[FrostalNeo]

!! damn! a moment ago when the music started, i was like "lol... sounds like a rip-off from you raise me up..." Then the chorus started and i saw the title "OMFG it is "You Raise Me Up.... in a weird language.." haha! but this is great anyways :))

[25JeroMeh]

@FrostalNeo wwwwweeeeiiiiiirrdddd laaaannngggguuuaaaagggee,. XD

[FrostalNeo]

@25JeroMeh aup jerom. aup!!! hahah jk!

[TheMormonSorceress]

Who da thought my favoret romance/Gospel song wold be the opeing of an anime about my favoret love story!

[angeliquefantasy]

-- w -- beautiful lyrics

[mikanxnatsume01]

even though i knew dat romeo and juliet were both gonna die....I STILL CRIED IN THE END!!!

:(

i love this anime too much...nvr gets old DX

[KaguyaMelanie]

WHERE ARE THE 8 FAGS THAT DON' T LIKE THIS VID!?

[maygirl]

Dude, this sounds so familiar. Is it the Christian song You Raise Me Up?

[meowmoobaa4anime]

@maygirl XD thats because its the Inori vesion of that song. 

[Coolforgeeks]

@maygirl Well, no... not exactly. The song has been used as a Christian song, but the lyrics talk about being raised up or inspired by somebody, and that could be anybody... particularly a lover, but also anybody who inspires.

[kiwigreeneyes]

@Coolforgeeks I believe it was originally written to have a more religious meaning, but like all forms of art, it's up to the audience to decide the real meaning. :)

[Coolforgeeks]

@kiwigreeneyes True. Although this anime is one instance where the song is probably meant to have more of a romantic meaning than a spiritual one.

[Verd254]

@maygirl

That's because this is a cover of it in Japanese. Also, You Raise Me Up is not a Christian song. It's been covered by a Christian group though.

[maygirl]

@Verd254

I've first heard it in my Catholic church and only heard it in Masses, so I assumed that it was chiefly a Christian song. Thanks though.

[guenthercorp]

@Verd254 Few people realize the different between a Christian and a love song is so slight you can change a couple words to switch to the other, if even that many.

[Verd254]

@guenthercorp

That's understandable. Songs can be interpreted many ways anyway, I was just saying it was not a christian song to begin with.

[smilinglightly]

@maygirl YES

[TheZero528]

@maygirl inori~you raise me up

[zeldagamerDX6]

beautiful....just beautiful.....

[7798841]

i know this song it's seems familiar

this song is for josh groban you rais me up right

[twinroaxas2000]

@7798841 Well yes and no. Josh Groban did cover it, but it's not his song.

[7798841]

@twinroaxas2000 who sang this song then

[twinroaxas2000]

@7798841 It's like..... A song that anyone can sing. Im not sure exactly WHO owns the rights to the lyrics, but it's been covered hundreds of times. This version is sung by Lena Park.

[LightAngelStar]

i miss this anime sad ending D:

[kaylabug35]

this show made me cry so much!!!!! :'O

[LittleDreamingGirly]

Why the made Romeo soo Perfect!! Damn! I love Him and then they kill him... ='(

[ponco13]

if you mute the sound and put you really got a hold on me by she and him it sounds gorgus

[bleachboy14]

This made me cry, a grown guy cry.

Always though Romeo and Juliet was a lame story, but this made me change my mind.

[gmodportal]

too bad i know the ending already -_-

[PhoenixPhire22]

@gmodportal Cause you saw the last episode? Or cause you know the story of Romeo and Juliet? The anime is way different than the book. Juliet is sucked into a tree by some earth spirits sacrificing her to the earth or something like that.... they do both die at the end but not at all like in the regular shakespeare play.

[PinkKittenMeWKatt947]

my fav characters are romeo x juliet (obviously!) tybalt francisco curio antonio and cordelia

[PinkKittenMeWKatt947]

this opening for some reason touches me every time.

[thenatalie4ever]

i literally cried during the sad parts i even cried in happiness because this is such a touching anime i don't watch anime much but this is a Work of art

[MYTstudio]

nice anime...but isnt that song u raised me up??

[xNinaSanx]

@MYTstudio ya, we've already gone over that in 50 zillion other comments now can we stop saying this now ppl?

no offense to u in particular tho

[Inacinta]

They die in the end D:<

[stargirl2094]

Note to self: Watch this anime

Second Note to self: Make sure I write a story about this anime

Third Note to self: ....Dun cry from the awesome-ness of this song ToT

[Rainbowjellyishh]

This is seriously the best anime every.It's incredibly touching (: .... ahhh, even the song is making me sad :'(

[CloudWatcherX]

i really like this anime. i knew how it was going to end ...........*spoiler alert*............they die in the end........but still the ending didnt happen like the original did. so i liked it but the ending seemed to stray from the whole plan of Juliet and how Romeo thinks she is dead and all that. still i the ending is sad.

the only other anime that made me cry was Air TV.

[ErikaMegaRose]

in the original ending, I cried for a week. in the series ending, i cried forever. it was just so sad because they actually spent time together and showed how much they loved each other. Plus the ending here was 7x sadder because they could have lived happily ever after. but romeo was killed, and so tht couldnt happen. its just so sad T-T

[TheAsianBroadsword]

lol. i hated how it ended with romeo impaled on a stick and juliet turned into a tree. great anime tho

[o0Kittylover0o]

@TheAsianBroadsword LOL your comment made me laugh so hard just now XD

[pupp3tmazter]

Japanese version of "you raise me up" :D

[KarenKapow]

I cry every time i hear this T-T

[Ayumugirl]

For some odd reason, this song reminds me of "You Raise Me Up" by Josh Groban...must be the beat or style or something...

[Kyledmw]

I studies the play In english I had an essay I decide to play some anime while doing it , finished the ones i was watching and was like fuck it ill give the anime of this ago, I tought after studying play This anime would be shit but zomg was i wrong 0_0 its amazing

[zaarazulfi]

HOLLYWOOD !!!

LISTEN!

THE STORY'S AWESOME N U IL DO A FAVOUR TO ALL MY FELLOW ROMEO X JULIET FANS !!! PLX I BEG OF U

iT'S TIME U ADAPT ROMEO X JULIET ON A BIG SCREEN ...PLZZ !!!!

[superseiji7]

I love how anime can take something I'm not really into and make it interesting. the play romeo and juliet for instant.. awesome opening

[zaarazulfi]

@superseiji7

yES YES THEY REMAKE MUCH BETTER HOPE THERE WAS ANOTHER PART DO U?

[zeanGA]

wow.... japanese ver sion of romeo and juliet specially the song.. u raise me up.. :D

[F5G6H5]

love this song and anime

[Runie549]

So I was thinking "Huh... another adaptation of Romeo and Juliet, but there's nothing else on, so I'll try this anime out and... OMG, it's YOU RAISE ME UP IN JAPANESE, and IT'S FREAKING AMAZING!!" :O

Then I was thinking "Still, I dunno if the anime itself will actually be any good since it's an anime trying to do Shakespeare but..."

Two episodes later: *is officially hooked*

True story.

[wiwihyuga15]

@Runie549 LOL same thing happened to me XD.

[Runie549]

@wiwihyuga15

And it gets better. About three days later, I had watched the entire series. It was freaking amazing.

I'm still shocked. The whole idea of Shakespeare + anime sounds ridiculous, but if you just give it a chance, it works SO wonderfully.

[wiwihyuga15]

@Runie549 lol three days? I took two XD. My dad came in and saw me twice and freaked out, First time he came in I was like : Romeo and Juliet in anime? why would anyone watch it, we all know the end?..... Second time he came in I was like: *crying whisper* go to him Juliet.. you can do it!!!!!! he loves you!!!! ... lol never underestimate the powers of anime.... and a good story re-writer XD

[Runie549]

@wiwihyuga15

Yes three days :P I didn't get around to watching the rest until after the first day (the first two were free to watch on TV), but once I did, the rest was history XD

[ilikeourworld]

it sound like my heart will go on song

[0liviakingston]

HAHA! XD i was thinking to myself... DAMN im sure i know that song.. and then i saw that other comment and was like.. oh.. yeah.. i knew that...

[LunarMoon651]

They should change it to Fye's version

[KVS15139]

es bonito el opening pero el final de la serie me hizo llorar T_T

[Kunoichi360]

I just finished watching the series yesterday. I bought this knowing they were going to die, but it was so good.

[anrime1000]

of over 500 adaptations and revisions of the tragic-romance story: Romeo and Juliet by the famous author William Shakespeare, another way of expressing uniqueness and spectacular work by the animation industry. XD

[IZZYNOEASY]

i loved this anime so much... that made me forget that they where going to die in the end :(

i was like "wait, WHAT!!??" ... and then "oh wait, thats right LOL." :P

[F5G6H5]

@IZZYNOEASY me too

[xEcHoOx]

@IZZYNOEASY hahahha same here i was like yes save her and then wut !! nooooo !! oh yh lol,,,,

[MissUlya]

It's so sad there are no more episodes! =((((((

[kajimotoismine]

D: Omg..Romeo x Juliet made me cry soo much T_T Juliet and Romeo D: omg..

[MissUlya]

@kajimotoismine me too! haha! Especially at the end when they both die!!! T_T My fave anime EVvVeeER!

[DiedrichVK]

@kittenhao3 Romance: Clannad. I BEG YOU TO WATCH IT

[cutie235100]

@kittenhao3 fmaXD is way better and ya learning about shakesphere is very interesting

[xXxEMOgirl620xXx]

does anyone know a song like this but the words in english????

[keiji09]

@xXxEMOgirl620xXx umm?

you "raise me up"?

[xXxEMOgirl620xXx]

@keiji09 thanx

[toasterfriends]

If it ends like the books, then basically they both die in the saddest way possible.. great. I'll get my tissue box, just in case.

[TheVoiceOfReason93]

Much as a like the story

[TheVoiceOfReason93]

A destroyed Capulet family, Juliet as a vigilante in disguise, flying horses (WTF?) and...wait for it...Verona as an island suspended in the air by some form of magical tree.

Yup, Romeo and Juliet is officially ruined

[redblulu]

come on man, don´t be so grumpy. I thought the extra things were what made a great story-.çç

[LolitaLexi]

You raise me up?!!! OHH Josh Groban...:)

[MaximumChu]

This was so good that I bought the whole series on dvd!~ And I went all the way to tennesee to get it!~ from Washington

[cokathleenmae]

i love this!!!!

[stephykinsthewolf]

I loved the manga~!

[26meow26]

[ThemarionetteRD]

awwww it so beautiful it made me remember when I saw the anime ...!!)': Lov it<3

[MissAquaPrincess]

i love the anime , and both versions of the song are amazing.... :X

[meandmybff11]

wow that was very pretty but sad

[kittenwahaha]

is this u give me hope?

[sundancegirl93]

Beautiful anime :) I honestly think it's the best version of Romeo And Juliet.

[kurosakiguido]

I thinking there is à good explanation why its spelled wrong

[tallgirl15]

Um did anyone else notice that they spelled William Shakespeare's name wrong? :P

[mster999]

@tallgirl15 lol theres an "H" in William

[800julie]

This anime is me first anime and I love this anime it is perfect

[stubsi93]

this song is just too perfect :)

[996284]

Not a bad show but I stopped watching after episode 2 but I think I'll go back to it and finish it up.

[georhi]

@996284 happens to me all the time wit anime dunno why..

[cola2beerover]

@996284 omg u have to finish this anime! it may seem boring in the beginning but u will not regret wacthing the whole series

[angeliathao96]

i watched this but i stopped on ep....2 o_0

[dani71195]

Because of this, I learned to play this in the piano. Everytime I play it, it reminds me of the ending of this show. It's too sad. :'(

[fanaticforanime]

So beautiful!  «3

I really love this music. @

[MegaAnimelover17]

Go William Shakespear!!

[Surabhi931231]

When japanese anime songs are later dubbed into English, the music kinda gets killed...no offence but what I mean is that it loses it's original charm

So I rather prefer anime themes in jap

[KingdomMaple]

@Surabhi931231 the song was originally in english, so i guess you should say the song was dubbed into japanese haha

but i do like lena park's japanese version better than her english one

[bevflair]

tthis anime really rocks!!

whoah

[MagicalDroplover]

OH OMG I JUST STARTED WATCHING THIS ANIME ANDI DON'T LIKE IT AT ALL! I LOVE IT!!!! Thanks for sharing this!!! :D

[BrockenAyngelll]

i think this is one of the best anime song and opening i have ever heard and seen =P

[cuiclif]

!!

antes me parecia re trucho el op!

pero ahora no!! :-O

encima que lo vamos a actuar en clase!!! n.<

[acheflowalice]

This version is more on love song. The original one is more on Christian song. Both themes made it a nice work. :)

I'm not really a fan of Romeo and Juliet. Its just my opinion. :) Those two are still young. They look reckless, too lovey doves "my bet there grades are going down". But when I watched this anime. It is so different and I appreciate the finale of it. Great work!

[clarisajeane]

i love this version

[KaoruHitachiinBunny]

This is soooo much better than the original!

[BreathingAvalanche]

i love romeo x juliet and this song :)

there are many twist in the stories :)

[Bulezar]

I love this Song

[dinosaaar27]

for me turning a masterpiece into an Anime is a great way for the younger generations to know shakespeare better instead of just reading books.

[mangaka350]

finally an anime with a heart warming song >:3

[raitoHlolz]

one of the best anime opening i've ever seen ....this anime made me cry sooo bad

[kanga1402]

i love this song ^-^ i mean i like the original english one but to be honest lena parks version is 10000000 times better because you cant get bored of listening to it

[masterkill107]

since i watch this..

hmm.. AH! MAYBE I WILL ALSO DO THE SAME THING TO THE PINOY OBERA MAESTRAS!!

REMAKING FLORANTE AT LAURA INTO AN ANIME OR MANGA!!

[HugPug100]

@masterkill107 I so agree! They should make all the pinoy classics into an anime! Plus it would help me pass my pinoy exams. . . X3

[ArticFoxLover]

the opening is you raise me up by this dude. they copied it, but i love this version better. no one copies his other songs, because he's too good.

[RossEadsColburn]

@ArticFoxLover do you mean Josh Groban

[Cuttie1207]

there are many people who covered this song I dont thing Josh Groban was the original singer though >.> just saying not sure xD

[Rhoswen3551]

I love this anime!! I finally bought the DVDs!! = D

Yes, DarkTsukiro, I agree with you about the fact this anime is sad... I cried!! = J

I also really like the song... It is called "You Lift Me Up". Very beautiful!!

[DarkTsukiro]

This is a very sad and emotional Anime... im so sad about the ending...there Should be a season 2!But William Shakespheare only wrote the book of romeo and juliet without making a second book! Noooooooo!

[sexychica1502]

thank you, romeo and julieta is my favorite, thanks XD

[ilyxb00]

whateveeeeeeeeeeer. romeo was originally a capulet, anyway.

[missrabbitalice]

This songs like the christan song

[LupineEscapist2011]

its actually the same song, with slightly different lyrics

[sweet0kaye]

this song saddens me. thinking that all of their efforts to live together was in vain. but in the end, it came up well coz their efforts to create a new neo verona bore its fruit.. but... SO SADDDD!!!

[FUSENEXUS]

After watching this anime, One word "Speechless".

[UnaeEunae]

I rarely fave anime openings and endings, but this is an exception. A huge exception.

[TheNiggaNinja]

I love this anime and that song

*3 stars*
