This video upload is long overdue. I actually made this after Girugamesh sang live in London at the end of January but unfortunately, Youtube was being unusually cruel to me and crashed my server every time I attempted an upload. Now that that problem has been dealt with, I can finally give you all this video.

'Kowareteiku Sekai'was the song that moved me most when I heard them play it live, and as cheesy as it sounds, even to me, I could practically hear the pain in Satoshi's voice as he sang. As soon as I looked up the lyrics tranlation for the song I knew it was perfect for an Advent Children tribute...

I put the translation below, feel free to read it if you're curious...

Kowareteiku Sekai (The World is Breaking)

Because it's white, it's said it wants to stay white
Because it's white, something can be blended in
The water in a little bowl became clear
Little by little the colours faded away

Eventually humans corrupt
Humans can be discolored by other humans
This star they both live on together is discolored
They strangle themselves

How do you describe the time
when the trees coldly looked up at the building that towers above?

The earth is touched by a bloodied hand
Without kindness, flowers withered and died
And by that hand, which has no heart,
the future without sins is murdered

Eventually humans corrupt
Humans can be discolored by other humans
This star they both live on together is discolored
The World is Breaking

In this civilization what sort of life do you picture is the one we wanted?
In this selfish egotistical struggle
What was shed was not blood, but the tears of the planet
The Earth, born so many billions of years ago
The proportion of time we've been in existence is just a few seconds
We have not aided in the recovery of the planet
We have not lived our lives in order to help the earth
However, we alone have known an unblemished love

The End is near by, but you who have known love will be all right

  • that was AMAZING.

    i absolutely adore how every scene matched the lyrics perfectly

    i feel like crying Q_Q

    PLEASE. PLEASE keep up the super duper amazing work :]

  • Thankyou...

    I am working on a couple of videos at the moment in what little spare time I have...

  • Although there quite many (I even dare to say too many) AC videos, this really steps out from the crowd. It is very beatiful song, and you've chosen just the right pieces from the film to make it an awesome video. Thanks, very nice.

  • Thank you very much for my first comment on this video...I do agree, many people have contributed to the growing stash of Advent children MV's and I'm glad that you set mine apart from them though many are quite exceptional...

    I think I blushed XD

see all
