This song evokes a very specific mental image for me. You're wandering through a forest near your home. You've been told since you were very young that you shouldn't venture into that forest, that there are things you wouldn't understand. But years have past and as you visit your childhood home, the memories of wondering that surround that mysterious forest come back. And this time there's no one to stop you. So you wander in, taking the well-worn but overgrown pathways through trees older than you or even your grandparents. It smells of damp soil and and there's a distinct floral scent that sometimes catches your attention. Even in mid-day it's dark, with only the odd sliver of light being a merciful guide to keep you on the path. The sound of the roads nearby start to fade as you go deeper, and for a while you completely forget that this apparently forest is not even three minutes away from the place you spent the bulk of your life. This enigmatic place that goes on forever and seems to defy the concept of time. And then you hear it. It's soft at first, like something that you aren't sure you heard or imagined. But you turn to try and find it still. The same sound comes back, a bit less imaginary and much more distinct. "Hoo, Hoo". Said in a way that is a bit too human to dismiss as wildlife, but not human enough to be someone who may have been a person. Regardless you call out, your voice echoing into the distance with no answer save for the forest's silence. So you wander again, now looking for an exit. And as you do, the voice comes back as this song. It's distant, and seems to come from all directions as the soft melody doesn't break the forest's ambience, only adds to it. In spite of yourself, you can't find any fearful emotion in regards to the voice, and its song. You listen, in the same way a child would listen to his mother while she scolds him. Its peaceful, but speaks with an authority that you can't quite deny. Your wandering leads you to a clearing, where a gap in the trees gives the area a warm glow. A single table sits in the center, its legs and surface covered in growing vines. A cup sits in the middle of the table, and the tea inside is still warm enough to have steam rising off of it. The last line of the song comes from directly behind you, and you turn to face the songstress, only to find the entrance to the forest you had spent what felt like days exploring. Looking behind you, the clearing is gone, and all that remains is the same well-worn path you took before. You leave the forest, but the message is clear: "You were not invited, but you are a guest all the same. Take care."
This song already have a lot of recognition, as well as KOKIA herself, but yeah i agree that it's not enough, the sub espanol ver has 1.6M views and the sub french has 102K views tho
You know that feeling when something is so well done that you want to compliment them but it's all so gorgeous that nothing is the stand out so you dont know what to say? Yeah
Когда зашёл в первый же комментарий, и только тогда понял что песня не просто на русском или украинском, и даже не на английском, надо больше учить языки, удачи вам люди!
This seem like a secret boss of a forest that would lead you across the forest as you fight. Just as you are about to win, the boss fade away and you found yourself at the edge of the forest.

"Aren't you scared of me child..?" A large owl said as it looked down upon a small child from its tree branch. The large bird tilted its head as it was confused, mortals would usually tremble in fright as soon as they spot the mythical creature but this one little mortal was far more different from the others. The child giggled as he found the owl's question funny and shake his head "Why would I be scared of you Ms.Owl? Weren't you the one who protected my village from intruders a year ago?" The little one revealed and the owl was suprised a bit as she heard the little child's revelation. "My..What a smart child you are. Would you mind telling me how you found out about my identity?" The owl slowly descended from her tree branch and was now a few meters away from the child. "I also don't know myself but as soon as I met your gaze.. I just knew it was you.. Our savior." The boy smiled as he explained to the mythical being. Silence soon engulfed the both of them and just as the boy was about to question the large owl, The bird suddenly shined bright and as soon the light died from her body. A woman stood where the large mythical being was supposed to be. Her hair was dark as the night sky and her skin was pale as the snow, her bright azure eyes bore into the boy's dark ones and slowly made her way to the unnamed boy. "..so you are the grandson of that man.." The woman muttered but loudly enough for the boy to hear. As soon as their distances were close enough, she embraced the boy tightly which startled the little kid for a moment before embracing the mysterious woman back. -Fin
I found this on accident, and, I don't know, when she started singing I felt like crying, this is something I have never heard before and yet I feel like I know it.....somehow.
This song lets me remember things I never lived. A nostalgic feeling as I sink, my soul is reaching out for something I've always known despite never learning. But just before I see it, the song ends. I am an unwelcomed guest in that relam.
This is fantastic, anyway I randomly found this song on a playlist I had picked and it was about 02.00 pm. You know what I felt like😂 I felt like owls were looking at me eventhough I worked on my table.
Ya'll I'm not trying to be one of those who force an anime reccomendation on poor unsuspecting people, but this song has some major vibes similar to D. Grey Man.
@@hamdaalkamali3520 I actually have never seen that anime so that's not it sadly. BUT I definitely added that to my "to watch" list so thank you no less hahaha
Слишком прекрасная песня... Один раз её только услышала и уже влюбилась! 🥺💕 А потом ещё и перевод увидела... Теперь добавлю в копилочку к фэнтези песенкам под гитару)) ‧₊˚⊹𓅫༉‧₊ ⊹
Beautiful song ! Maybe she sings "là-haut", a french word instead of "Lau", who means "up there" or (thanks google translation) "yonder". Because owls can fly it seems possible. But I'm not sure, it can be just my french ears xD

SOMEONE PIN THIS PLS
You made this songs 100 times more better
Love this
I’m creating a manga inspired by this song
for some unknown reason, I am thinking of ori and the blind forest as I listen to this video.
i think so
Search for "child of light" in gogle, part of the images used are from there,
and ori is within that style of game.
same
I thought i was the only one that have that thought.
Yes.
is this EXTREMELY underrated???? or is it just me- NO ITS NOT THIS SONG DESERVES MORE RECOGNITION
many songs underrated in japan
This song already have a lot of recognition, as well as KOKIA herself, but yeah i agree that it's not enough, the sub espanol ver has 1.6M views and the sub french has 102K views tho
Nenrikido ikr, songs like these are the reasons why we have nice things,, so she needs way more love than we gave
(edit: added sth)
@@nenrikido2903 bruh kokia is super underrated. people barely know her in japan themself!!!!
There's another vid with 14M views, I'd say it's not THAT underrated, while yes deserves more attention
You know that feeling when something is so well done that you want to compliment them but it's all so gorgeous that nothing is the stand out so you dont know what to say? Yeah

I'm so glad i found this masterpiece , this is the best kind of music
I came looking for copper..and I found a masterpiece

Exactly
So ethereal, a lullaby ✨
There are songs you just need to listen for few seconds and you know this is it.
This song lets me remember things I never lived. A nostalgic feeling as I sink, my soul is reaching out for something I've always known despite never learning. But just before I see it, the song ends. I am an unwelcomed guest in that relam.
Yes so please get out of my forest...
@@pinkfoxboi1331 u mean get out of my swamp?

IKR! I was searching for it there just now but couldn't find it :'(
This is fantastic, anyway I randomly found this song on a playlist I had picked and it was about 02.00 pm.
You know what I felt like😂 I felt like owls were looking at me eventhough I worked on my table.
I've started humming this song while I take my daily walk through the forest on my property. So relaxing~
Thank you for posting this!!!
Hauntingly beautiful.
Something magical shit appeared while chillin in Tarkov
one of my favorite songs
It's creepy and beautiful at the same time
Beautiful song❤ thanks for the subtitles. Always respect the forest
Ya'll I'm not trying to be one of those who force an anime reccomendation on poor unsuspecting people, but this song has some major vibes similar to D. Grey Man.
I'm losing my mind... there is an anime with a song so unbelievably similar, any ideas?

It's my best ever calm Japanese song ...oh god I'm in madly love with this song...the background gets me going...❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Beautiful, yes, but, for reasons, I can't fathom, feels wistful and sad, as though someone is searching for something.
Its like a beautiful picture book.
I am in love with Kokia's bewitching voice...
Beautiful song ! Maybe she sings "là-haut", a french word instead of "Lau", who means "up there" or (thanks google translation) "yonder". Because owls can fly it seems possible. But I'm not sure, it can be just my french ears xD
Knowing that KOKIA ever been in France for some times, I think it's possible...
Wtf no she said lau because japanese dont have r sound 🤦♂️
Wtf non a le dit "lau" pcq les jap on pas la prononciation du "r" 🤦♂️
@@Vlad-si9xs I won't be so quick to say so. While it is common saying that Japanese cannot pronounce the "r" sound. Kokia is fluent in English.
My lovely song i saw it since 2 years
This is so freaking good im-
Love this one❤
Warm feeling...
THIS SONG MAKES ME HAPPY “HOOT, HOOT, THE OWLS LET YOU KNOW” AHEHAHAHNNE
For some reason when I listen I am the owl person serving tea slightly annoyed that make quite evenings is enterrupted by some curious human
Damn this is incredible!
imagine you in peasfull place like a small mountain... and auto you relax😌
Accidentaly come here and love this

I cant find this on spotify :,(
It's sad, bro.

Is this song an ost of any anime? Sorry I'm not good at english
I just can’t get enough. This is what heaven sounds like.
