KOTOKO - Hane

[Weegee900000]

i love kotoko she is awesome

[judythish]

perdon, me pueden pasar un link para poderme descargar esta cancion?

[BlueNeko1]

Still my favorite song by her. There's just something about the composition and the emotions in her voice that draw me in every time.

[XeroBubbles]

whenever i watch this it reminds me of a manga i read tht was about vampires called chibi vampire

although the lyrics could not match the manga at all idc the song is still great XD

[TheCeciliaAguilera]

ela é muito fofa *-*

[Kimidori81]

Wow very nice song. Only now I'm starting to appreciate Kotoko, after many years. She has lots of great songs like Mami Kawada and Eiko Shimamiya (and the rest of the I've girls)

[Yukihiro89]

her voice a little bit like ZARD

[ndwarner]

please could somebody explain what hane is about? what hane means.. i believe it means feathered wing..??? please someone explain if possible. could someone explain briefly what the song is about.

[TwilightF]

I absolutely love this song. Might be my fav from her...so much emotion, pain...and yet a small glimpse of hope, tomorrow.

[AutumnCzun]

wonderful song!

but you made a spelling mistake: it's "fOllow" and not "fAllow" ^_~

[BlueNeko1]

It's still my favorite song from her. There's so much raw emotion here and the actual melody is gorgeous.

[ZeroViaBrittania]

mami kawada and kotoko ought to be best frens

[AnimeKitty202]

I am not japanese nor do i know how to speak it but i do love their music :D

[Monkeychild41]

The BGM sounds like Light Hard Rock.

Kotoko rules all!

[ItsSrsBzness]

lmao shes fucking hideous

[roxyhunter24]

she has a good voice but she wears stuff for teenagers but she is 30

[chisane995]

She is amazing.

Everything about her is.

I<3Kotoko

[davtmora]

i use to hear her music all the time

[CallingAllStations12]

I totally love this song! :D

[balsasan]

one of her very best tracks, superb

[hellokitty500million]

she is freaking 30

right?

but shes so beautiful and her voice is.....very childish(good thing)

wish to be her and her talented voice cause she can really sing:}

[Maiku87]

At some point in the future, you will start to apreciate the age of 30. The childish look should not be mistaken to "akting childish", but to see that it's simply being "Kawai". First of all you must understand the diffrence of culture and learn to apreciate it. KOTOKO is japanese and differs in mentality alot from other countryes style of thinking. "Kawai" is what alot of japanese girls do almost involuntary and it's mostly the equivalent to being a "girlie girl" in western society. Cheers!

[hmnanda]

kawaii is just a term created by otakus to justify them trying extremely hard to be cute and childish to get attention while attempting to add japanese words to their vocabulary. apparently, they are in an extremely early mid-life crisis.

good song btw. one of the better songs from hane.

[TicTacAnyone]

@Maiku87

Kawai means scared or pitiful.

Please learn what you are saying before you say it.

[Kateabc1]

@TicTacAnyone She mis-spelled, and 'kaiwai' does not mean scary, 'kowai' is actually scary in Japanese.

[Monkeychild41]

@ Hellokitty500million She's only 30?!

[700gsteak]

KOTOKO rocks!

[zhilvher]

unique song and unique voice thats why kotoko's music is so great to hear.

[musanaio0mii]

great song

[INORANizm]

wow!! from their 1st album!! awesome sound!!

[jakecoffman11]

I love KOTOKO!

[sayacookies]

enter your txt here. LOL

[NadirSM]

I want speak japanese too... jooooooo... quiero hablar japonés... =(

[AnimeFanClub909]

i wish i could speak japanese and try to sing like her

[sayacookies]

i wish i was a ufc fighter and speak japanese and sing like her too ;D

[zheketh]

btw..why?

[memokent]

creo que yo soy uno de esos fans de Kotoko que empezamos a seguirle despues de Onegai Twins

[reggiekurt93]

red and white!!???

symbolism,huh!!!

[reggiekurt93]

pampatulog!!!!!

[homeskillet20078]

shes got an amazing voice =)

[CrissySnow]

KOTOKO should be about 30 by now. Damn she looks like she is 14 years old. Japanese don't age so fast.

[japan445]

i now right

[appleJUICEomg]

what? she looks like shes in her twenties here.

[XDKonnieXD]

There does not excist eny word there can describe this song! It's so fuxx AMAZING!!

[MissShaada]

I love the intro and how it sounds

[deniske09]

how old is kotoko?

[Maiku87]

Acording to difrent sources from Internet, today she is 28 yo. At the time of this clip, she was 24.

[deniske09]

wow i couldn had think that she looks so young

sorry for my bad english

[VoLtrex31]

Not her best ... i loved more the "Second Flight" thats a master pice ...

[OJReadMore]

hentai is not just porn, but it means romance and sex. in america romance and sex are separate, in japan it's not. it's beautiful, not a mindless act.

[ninjaquamar]

are you sure you've seen hentai

[Deffie]

If that is the case, why does the word "hentai" mean "perverted"? And why do so many Japanese adult comics and animated series seem to deal with rape fantasies? Even the somewhat less extreme stuff has such undertones in one way or another.

[taolen3]

you r right, but DJReadmore is also right. but don't think that only men read it because women also look/read hentai. just like america, japan also make hentai to fulfil peoples fetishes. but if u actually read hentai, there r romance hentai for women and some men. for america, it just bad role playing and have sex thats it.

[FelineFurCece]

this is a long pv. but awesum song!

[DaBomb1]

Well, the full song's even longer. About a minute longer, actually, but all that's different is just that there's a bit more instrumental stuff. I like the long version a bit better, but it's even better if you listen to it with the entire album.

[aboyenkaya]

awsom! translations!

[John0619]

Love her voice

[WSSoon]

another nice song from her ... the great singer

[StrawberryShizu]

love her so so soooo much^^best singer foreva^^

[Maiku87]

shure, but olso try Itai Yo, from Hane album.

[BlueNeko1]

My favorite song from her. It's just so deep and sad. Makes me think of yuna from Final Fantasy. The only songs I like better than this are Re-Sublimity and Uzu-Maki.

[oniguriprincess]

i know this is kinda random but does anyone know the japanese term for "ocean"? im naming a character and i want it to be that.. or any kawaii name you can think of... please help me! ps. I LOVE this SONG!! she can SING!

[inuyashaelfenlied]

Oki. Means ocean. And it's a name. Good? Good.

I prefer Real Onigokko better, but Hane is pretty good too.

[oniguriprincess]

thank you!

[Maiku87]

i am not shure but for me "oki" means "open sea". For Ocean i knew it was "kaiyou". there are more ways to say Ocean in Japanese..., for example "taikai". it can mean ocean depending on your context, but it olso can mean "convention, tournament, mass meeting!!!" Thats the hard part of Japanese...one word can have multiple meanings.

[wolfishbeast]

I heard that some character from kingdom hearts was named ocean. Namine or Kairi I think.

[Balthier617]

Kairi. :D

[miaoxD]

Aihane i'm sorry, but u r wrong

Hane = Feather and Hana = Flower

your name means "love feather" ^^

[Filiuk]

Sounds logical to me, since hanamachi leterally means flowerdistrict.

[Aihane]

._. ...Hane = Flower in Japanese...I know 'cause that's mah name, see?...Aihane...Meaning "Love Flower"...

[Maiku87]

i asked once even a japanese and he told me "hane" means "feather", so in my opinion your name is "Love feathers".

[sweetbliss80]

feather is hana --- Hane is flower

[chibitsukasa]

Isn't flower Hana? With an "a" not "e"?

[PersianSpice]

Yes, yes it is. 100% positive. Hana = flower.

[chipmunkboyx]

Shut the fuck up you stupid ass otaku, stop trying act japanese, god damn.

[Maiku87]

don't talk bad here!

[chipmunkboyx]

It was aimed at Aihane, not you Maiku =S

[Deathys]

Hane = feather Hana = Flower

End of discussion.

[MurakumoChan]

Holy Crap

Kotoko-sama, u are amazing

[Maiku87]

Indeed!

[flamminroy7]

She is good but she's too much of a wannabe Yui

[Maiku87]

and who is Yui?

[LovelessAngel2008]

shes a really cool jpop singer :)

[Kurisu1004]

Dude she has been around longer than Yui....

[Maiku87]

....who is Yui?

[suehyun12]

Yui is a Jpop singer.

[Maiku87]

Well..., Ok, but KOTOKO is KOTOKO!!! She doesn't copy nobody, she has developt a unique way of mixed styles, like Tehno-Trance in "Re-sublimity", Shugar Rush/BoubbleGum Pop in "Sakurambo kiss", Trance-Rock with "Uzu-Maki", Alternative Rock/Trance with Outer!!! even something related to Opera, in "Chi ni Kaeru". Now, name me a singer that can do that!

[GoDonatello]

How can you ever compare KOTOKO to Yui?Yui has a gorgeous,soothing voice,but KOTOKO is more techno and energetic. I actually like KOTOKO better.

[UrielTheJudge]

This song is just so DAMN GOOD!!! Definitively she is one of my favorite singers. This song should appear in some game. But of course, we should also give credit to the composer, don't you think?

[Maiku87]

I am agree with you, especialy on this song we can see a diference! I will upload latter the version of this song from "Sora wo Toberta", her verry first album. There is called "Feathers", the right transation of "Hane". That other version is good too, but is no mach for this one...

[SakusBloodyRain]

I love her music. My boyfriend got me started on her with her song Sakuranbo Kiss. But after seeing Re-Sublimity, I've been hunting for any and all of her songs. I haven't found one that I don't like. ^_^

[Maiku87]

now you mey start waching her live performances and the making of her clips...

[SakusBloodyRain]

yay!!! lol, kotoko is awesome live too. i just haven't found my boyfriends favorite song by her. it's Fact of Fact. i can't find kotoko's music video of it. just a live concert copy and amv's with that song.

[Maiku87]

well..., it doesent have aq PV, i olso regret that!

[Kagutsuchi]

This song is great, in concert as well.

[Maiku87]

yes,i agree

[Pinkys20]

Alright friend :D i'm gonna give you 5 stars :D

'cause this is a song from the first preview albums made for KOTOKO as you say in the description. and beacuse here you show the lyrics :O English and Romaji That's really a great idea!

cee you ehehe :D

[Hinokochan]

O.o she actually does real songs not just cutesy-sugar stuff! ^_^

[Maiku87]

she does that "cutesy-shugar" because she is verry succesfull in everything she does! So, I'VE producers are not stupid to stop at just one type of singer Kotoko can be, they have at least 4! Yeah.., KOTOKO is the Qween of I'VE!

[ayame1989]

omfg i cant believe this u guys wont believe me but my real name is hane wow this rocks a song with my name on sweet dude i fucking love u idk why i just do lol

[Maiku87]

interesting..., it's a boy or a girl name? and wath origin has? by the way...a more correct translation of "Hane" is actually "feather/s". "Wing/s" is good too, but by this songs lyrics is "Feather's", japanese words dont have plural, if you want to express more of something, you just add a number.

[HystericLuna]

how can I forget to rate hane!!! This song made me fall for kotoko in the first place!

thanx for uploading it =D

[Maiku87]

for me it was Shooting star, from "Onegai Teacher" anime, "Chi ni kaeru" was the reason i falled inlove with her music.

[Kagutsuchi]

Speak of the devil, that's the same song that made me fall for her too~ I saw a mad to it, and loved it.

[Maiku87]

well...., my reply was...hard to understand...so i rearange it better: the first song i ever heard from Kotoko was "Shoting Star", from "Onegai Teacher", i liked the song more because the begining, but olso her voice. At that time i didn't even knew how Kotoko looked like, latter "Second Flight" made me more intereted about the singer, first time i saw her was in Live with Hiromi Sato, but i didn't knew who was who...at the time, from the 2, i liked Kotoko more!

[Maiku87]

"Chi ni kaeru" was the clip that made me become a fan of her, in that song and clip she showed us how great her voice can be, how powerfull her music is, so here i am now learning japanese...., because of her.

[Maiku87]
