Long, long ago, A seed awakened the heart of the forest. The Forest-Beast fell from the moon With its red breath and green tears, And Man cowered in fear. In time, The Beast's tears dried, And Man strained his ears To hear the voice of the Forest.
I came here because of Origin Spirits of the Past. Such an amazing song! Just more proof that Japanese singers and composers put western music to shame.
unfair. Japanese culture has received huge Western influence for the last 150 years. All instruments used in this song are Western Instruments. Creativity wise, the combination produces incredible pieces of art, like this song.
Dude, I first heard this song while watching Origin: Spirits of the Past and it gave me chills. I can't stop listening to it!!!! And I don't want it to stop!!! xD
Did you know that the chorus is 'coded Japanese' where the syllables are reversed! nimiunooto denzush," when reversed gives "Oto no umi ni shizunde (BTW found on wiki)
first time i heard this was when watching origins: spirits of the past. this song is so haunting. i get chills everytime i listen to it. probably why i love this song so much
The numbers also correspond to the letters of the alphabet (A = 1, B = 2, etc) and spell "Cyouwa", another way of writing "Chouwa", the name of the song.
after years i noticed i didn't know what the song mean, and is amazing that she can transmit that deep feeling in the lyric with just her voice. If you listen to it is more clear than reading it. Also fits the opening from the movie perfectly, you really get the worry sensation, is like "hey, they're plants, they will burn and die", right but with this music is like a true apocalypse, just perfect
For the people who are wondering what the numbers mean is "CYOUWA" flip the "y" and it looks like an "h" it spells "Chouwa" which means 'HARMONY' in Japanese. That is pretty much what the song is about... and the Movie Origins...
Since 5 yo i.m dreaming like the first few line in the song then i'm stop dreaming about it. the first time i hear it was 10 y ago and nowbut i'm now 19 and hearing this song and after knowing about the song meaning i was dumbfound (°o°)
Amy Chovanec -hugz- I made an amv with the movie. Princess Mononoke is my most favorite animated film. Ashitaka is a character I hold very close to me.
i love the wolf princess the movie really is just amazing have you seen any of his other movies naussica and the valley of the wind is areally good one i think youd like
this song blew my mind. thx to these lyrics I now know wat the song says, I had this blaring in my ears and I was like .......(speechless) then I was like -whispers- whoah 0_0
@LadiiHpn0tiq The numbers are the numerical equivalents of english letters. 3 25 15 23 21 1 = cyouwa, which is another way of spelling chouwa which is the japanese word for harmony.
@Archaon94 As you can see and I hope you know, KOKIA's kind of everywhere with the styles of music and singing. :D This variety and range is part of why she's so great. She's got a few other songs like this, but the main one that comes to mind is Track 7, Gematoria, from Kokia - Akiko Balance. It's another with an epic sound, upbeat, and also kind of haunting. Mixes Indian and Spanish musical sounds.
@Lainmacha I think, it's chouwa. homophone with chouwa era ( just wiki chouwa ), different kanji. also, I believe there's no official "cyo" in japanesse except accent or sound effect.
@kagomegirl321 it's what happened if you romanized japanesse hiragana. technically cyouwa writen using "chi+yo - u - wa" because japanesse doesn't have "cyo" as single "letter" so tough the reading is "cho" it's more visible as "cyo", maybe ^^
@Archaon94 I agree with Lillia, I don't know of any other songs like this. The style used in the Ar tonelico games music ??kind of?? resembles it. A little. But yeah, nothing compares to the simply, profoundly powerful feel on this
@LadiiHpn0tiq 3 25 15 21 23 1 italic alphabet c y o u w a , but if u flip the "y" u'll get a "h" thus resulting the word c h o u w a, witch means harmony :D
The numbers are the letters of the japanese alphabet:
3=C 25=Y 15=O 21=U 23=W 1=A 15=O (Cyouwao: Means Harmony)
CeeMcDee i always wonder about this!! thank you :D
Was gonna play the lotto to it, lol. Someday 😅
Long, long ago,
A seed awakened the heart of the forest.
The Forest-Beast fell from the moon
With its red breath and green tears,
And Man cowered in fear.
In time,
The Beast's tears dried,
And Man strained his ears
To hear the voice of the Forest.
This song is fucking nostalgic. Watched this film when I was 5. It’s now 2020 and the song fits with what’s going on.
I may just be over emotional but sometimes when I listen to this song I start to cry

YagoOrwell yea but America still shits out terrible music lmao
Estarossa of Love Like Trap or Country Music. Worst thing to come out of American music
@@YagoOrwell the comparison here is even with influences, they're able to improve upon it.
Not to shame, but still love the wealth of artistic expression. American, here.
🤙🏿

First Japanese song I ever liked, and it will always be the best one I've heard

There is also a stunning live version of this song by Kokia
This song is so beautiful I can't describe it with words
This never fails to give me chills
Love how in the beginning when this song is played the story is about his father given his powers

Forest. :D. -cry- Kokia's musics are so perfect.
I saw the movie 'Origin' And I'm completely English and don't usually listen to stuff like this but this song is really captivating
@LadiiHpn0tiq actually its code with the numbers meaning letters (A=1 and Z=26) it spells chouwa meaning "harmony" (no i dont have alot of thime)
Since 5 yo i.m dreaming like the first few line in the song then i'm stop dreaming about it. the first time i hear it was 10 y ago and nowbut i'm now 19 and hearing this song and after knowing about the song meaning i was dumbfound (°o°)
this song fits princess mononoke
Hugs. You are my new best friend you never find anyone who likes that movie
Amy Chovanec -hugz- I made an amv with the movie. Princess Mononoke is my most favorite animated film. Ashitaka is a character I hold very close to me.
i love the wolf princess the movie really is just amazing have you seen any of his other movies naussica and the valley of the wind is areally good one i think youd like
Amy Chovanec Haha of course I've seen them all! I watched Nausicaa when I was a kid. Princess Mononoke is my all time favorite.

this song blew my mind. thx to these lyrics I now know wat the song says, I had this blaring in my ears and I was like .......(speechless) then I was like -whispers- whoah 0_0
thank you so much!!!

the movie and its song are totally awesome!!!!!!!!!!
@LadiiHpn0tiq They are the alphabetical numbers of the romanji characters of the song's title, "Chouwa".
This was the best part of the movie.
the numbers are actually her name in numerology code
I found it again! I'm so happy!
same
it's the placing of letters in the japanese alphabet, it spells out 'harmony' in japanese :)
Es bellísimo.jpg
I love this song
I am trying to sing along..... So difficult!!! Luv the song!
@Lainmacha
I think, it's chouwa. homophone with chouwa era ( just wiki chouwa ), different kanji.
also, I believe there's no official "cyo" in japanesse except accent or sound effect.
I love this song its just so..... Beautiful
omg and I thought is was eerily hunting and beautiful before I read the English lyrics
@kagomegirl321 no you are right it is Cyouwa lot's of people misspell it
It makes me just sad....I dont know why but....I still cry everytime I am Hearing this....
Thx 4 the translate
ORIGIN SPIRITS OF THE PAST WAS AMAZING BUT I CANT FIND IT ANYWHERE 😭😭😭😭
it's on UA-cam
just beautiful!!!
@LadiiHpn0tiq Actually, it's using a number system to spell out Chouwa. :)
I love this song!
i love this song it soo beatiful i cried
@kagomegirl321 it's what happened if you romanized japanesse hiragana.
technically cyouwa writen using "chi+yo - u - wa" because japanesse doesn't have "cyo" as single "letter" so tough the reading is "cho" it's more visible as "cyo", maybe ^^
I loved this song so much when I didn't know what they were saying
@LadiiHpn0tiq : The numbers mean cyouwa (chouwa) (harmony)
3=C
25=Y
15=O
21=U
23=W
1=A
15=O
Absolutly love this song
thank you
Honestly, i prefer the translation provided by the netflix version of the movie i heard this from:
@Archaon94 I agree with Lillia, I don't know of any other songs like this. The style used in the Ar tonelico games music ??kind of?? resembles it. A little. But yeah, nothing compares to the simply, profoundly powerful feel on this
@LadiiHpn0tiq
Numeric code, each word belongs to a letter in the alphabet. Spelled out it spells "Chouwa"
Damn 12 yeas ago. I was 9.
@LadiiHpn0tiq 3 25 15 21 23 1 italic alphabet c y o u w a , but if u flip the "y" u'll get a "h" thus resulting the word c h o u w a, witch means harmony :D
from what ive heard it means Harmony.
wow splendid!
@Archaon94 ur welcome......i dont know really any others like this song.
0:08
1:41
actually, 3=c 25=y 15=o 21=u 23=w 1=a
spells cyouwa, which is chouwa in another romaji system.
Great song, and did you translated it yourself or did you find the lyrics online?
Harmony by KOKIA, I love this song X3
amazinggggggggggggggggggggggggggggg¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡
@LadiiHpn0tiq it's part of the lyrics
The Forest is Hot Burn*Burn*
thanks for all your comments, exspecally sense they're all positive :D
what language is it? the beginning is japanese, yes. but what about the other part? it sounds japanese but maybe old japanese, because i don't get it
Nika Kyoto by reversed you mean words are sung reversed or the sentences ?
The whole verse is reversed, it starts with "Kono mori ni..." (nirimonoko) and ends with "...kaeshite kureru." (rurekuteshieka).
@1Lula1ful it's Japanese.
it spells out the japaneses for harmony i believe
Does anyone know where I can find this version for purchase/download?
Tai tsuwedzakekazushi teshisokunamae tahatookumeshihi = "please bring back peaceful time".
Okay that's something 😂
@kagomegirl321 i dont have the lyrics for that part, sorry :/

Now I know :DD
@kagomegirl321 i have no idea

POLSKA KURWA
