Nov 23, 2007 - i like this version..but love the original

StephenKuma Says:

Nov 30, 2007 - i cant decide who's better! Rimi Natsukawa or Begin!??

FLYBOYJES Says:

Jan 10, 2008 - Hitomi's is better. She carries the song for the first two minutes with just her voice.

Jan 31, 2008 - I think she should stick to J-pop. The Ryukyuan language (Dialect) is not easy though.

jejf123 Says:

Feb 3, 2008 - her voice is too sharp for this song...rimi is the best...

Apr 1, 2008 - Agreed, the snowboarding guy played it well. But this girl's stressing incorrectly and missing the emotional highs. As though she's trying to stop me from tearing. Definitely Rimi's version, but Begin's is pretty good for what it is, and certainly better than this.

May 19, 2008 - she sucks. off key and screaming. ZERO emotion. the words are actually very powerful but she makes it sound like a fuckin kindergarten song. who the fuck put her up on stage. she is cute though. but she cannot sing

speyroyal Says:

deqinwu Says:

Jul 2, 2008 - you obviously don't know what off key means.. cuz hitomi yaida's always in tune...

kaolinshade Says:

Jul 4, 2008 - when I heard this song always remain me that movie nada sou sou, so sad T_T thx 4 upload so nice song^^

HiKoURoMaN Says:

Jul 24, 2008 - this song is nice, whoever covers it. ^_^ it's emotional value is unwavering and is still expressed no which way it's sung. I personally prefer Rimi's version over this one but its nice to say the least.

burningwater0 Says:

Jul 28, 2008 - eww, she's butchering the song!!! >:| It hurt my ears. Rimi had much better vocals and I liked her version better.

beautykillermartin Says:

Sep 5, 2008 - I agree with alot of the ppl, she killed this song, there is no emotion and her voice is like off key... OMG MY EARS HURT JUST LISTENING TO HER!!!!!!!!!!

animelover123 Says:

Sep 6, 2008 - I think what people mean is that she isnt off-key, (b/c she really isnt) but she uses tones that ruin this beautiful... in my humble opinion. I think Natsukawa Rimi did best on this song, along with Gackt...

animelover123 Says:

Sep 6, 2008 - Lol, I'm sooo stupid hahaha, I was confused with Shima Uta hahaha

SheillaYing Says:

Sep 14, 2008 - I only luv the movie.. i think it's better if this person didnt sing this song...

shadowdusk Says:

Sep 30, 2008 - well it sounds like shit if you want to get bitchy about technicalities. it's jarring and it sounds like a 5 year screaming the song out in kindergarten. and pretentious people like you buy into the stuff about anything that sounds diff is supposed to be good. if there experts like you, no wonder what we call art these days are more form than substance. it's bad and she sings like she's on crack.

shadowdusk Says:

Sep 30, 2008 - off key or the wrong tones, i think the msg is that it doesn't sound very nice. she's pretty alright, but for those who like this version. would you like a girl scream this at you instead of the natsukawa version? hey imaging watching the movie with THIS version of the song. I rather listen to Palin speak. at least that makes me laugh.

deqinwu Says:

Oct 2, 2008 - Are you saying this because you like the original better? I just realized that this is a cover song. But anyway, I know what you mean by "pretentious ppl buy into the stuff about anything that sounds diff is supposed to be good" and I totally agree with you on that on certain music that are unmelodic and are simply...different. (eg avant garde) however, songs composed by Hitomi Yaida are actually quite enjoyable yet original at the same time imho.
