Actually. This is the correct tempo of the song, and In my opinion, it sounds much better this way. When you speed it up, The song loses it's beauty. Also, By saying that the correct way sounds like crap, you are completely making an insult to Japanese culture, and that is inappropriate. Maybe you should actually think before you say something, and respect something that is different.

the way this is performed is beautiful. I think both faster and slower this song is just as beautiful. That's the thing about music - there is no right or wrong way to do it. Someone could sing this half this speed and stay in pitch and add emotion it would still sound as beautiful. when it's slower like this you feel each word individually and it makes you think more of how a firefly flies- slow and deliberate, flashing its light only when it needs to :]

@Xaiylia Actually, this tempo is about 120. The music is marked 152. Try again?

@ThingsgoBOOMGlitz In my choirs, we often change the time signature in certain places (NOT the whole piece) and the tempo.

@ThingsgoBOOMGlitz Excuse me, not to be rude, but just because it says a certain number on the page (like 152 for example which is the one that I have of this version) does NOT mean it is the "correct" or "incorrect" tempo. It is simply a suggested tempo. A choir director can take liberties with a piece. Like my choir director, for example. He took "Twa Tanbou" by Sydney Guillaume and sped it up 3-5x the original suggested speed. In my choirs, we often change the time signature in certain place

[ThingsgoBOOMGlitz]

@INCURSIONN this is the correct tempo, you've probably been listening to the faster sped up versions for too long is all

[Flufflemonster]

This is amazing, how the voices blend in perfect chords, in perfect dynamics, fading... I see NOTHING wrong with this song... executed perfectly.

My high school all girls choir is singing this for our first concert. It is a great song and this tempo is PERFECT!

Finnaly a choir that sings without ruining it.

[alriesnguyen]

i feel like the song make the back ground totally beitiful. i can't said how i feel. but u would understand when u hear the sound slowly.

[honmegan]

@Xaiylia There will be a problem with the pitch is this song is slow. This part "ten ji ku ah ga ri SHE " The sops will go sharp and sop 2 might go flat.

[ThousanFallingHearts]

My highschool choir is singing this; we started at this tempo and are working towards going faster; the soprano 2's arent up to it at all, so it falls apart and there are only three of them singing;

If only they would sing it would sound so beautiful :)
