    the fact that she wrote her lyrics, stayed true to the idiosyncrasies of the original lyrics and maintained a Japanese style of haiku-esque writing while rhyming is incredible actually.

    Hey, everyone! Just wanted to say that yes, I’m aware Minmi (og singer for shiki no uta) used my English lyrics for her music video. No, she and her team did not contact me or credit me, sadly. As long as I can keep my cover up on youtube then I don’t mind it. Thank you all for lookin’ out for me, I really appreciate it.
    Edit: Just wanna add that I’ve pinned this so people stop bugging me about it! I’m more flattered than anything. Chill.

    Um, so yeah. This upload is mainly for my fans in the U.S. because the original cover got blocked in the states. At least now everyone in the world is able to listen to it again! If you'd like to purchase this new version of the cover, I'll update the video description with links to the music stores as soon as I can. I'll also be providing a free download of the old cover for everyone.
    I love every single one of my fans on UA-cam, but I'd like to thank my fans supporting me on Patreon right now. It really is because of them that I was able to upload this again. I was really bummed out about the song getting blocked, but they provided me with the funds to get a stellar instrumental created. It was a great experience adapting the lyrics and singing the song, and I'm glad all the time and effort I put into it initially was not wasted. ;___;

    I wish people would respect the fact that both covers are simply magnificent. They have slightly different feelings, and that's okay. In my opinion, Sapphire's version sounds like a farewell song to a lover while Minmi's is more innocent, like a child. They are both incredible in terms of lyrics and music. I respect Sapphire, Minmi, and Nujabes. Have a great day and just enjoy the song.

    Now that I have heard the translation, I find this song extremely fitting for Mugen, Fuu and Jin's journey together, especially for the ending. It talks how they want to be together, remembering on the memories they've shared yet at the same time moving on in the end either way. By the way this was an awesome English cover of the song! Keep up the amazing work!

    Im no otaku, and dont know Japanese to begin with, but i usually don't listen to English covers for long, its like listening to Spanish covers of System of a Down for instance.. Not to mention, they're usually dramatized (echo, auto tune, jazzed up and essentially forced for better flow), and is usually just difficult to do, though I always respect the attempt. As for this, I came here expecting the original, when I started hearing English I actually had two reactions. One split moment was "oops, let's get the real one, no wonder the instrument was different", but 2 words into the song, my reaction changed to "hmm, this sounds pretty good." Next thing I know, I listened through the whole song... outstanding cover! Easy the best I've heard.

    One of the nostalgic songs that always makes me think of high school, walking down the halls always listening to this song in the morning cuz it has a great mood when it's dark out early in the morning. And I always think of my friends in our anime and gaming group :( I miss them so much

    I find it amazing that both versions are incredibly beautiful and meaningful, whilst also being unique in their own way and style. Something else I noticed upon looking up the translation of the original is that the two convey pretty different messages. In this version, there's hope that her significant other is alive and well, just far away. While, in the original, i think it's made clear that the other person has passed away, and theres a more serene, melancholy feeling of having to move on.

    I don't expect anyone to read this, but whatever.
    I really love this song. But the memorabilia it gives me is something I'd rather not recall. More than just memories. A factual reality, and I hate it.
    Imagine listening to this song as the man she's singing these lyrics about. To be reminded of all those hearts you've unintentionally "stolen" whether or not that was in your favor, told of how now they can't even begin to carve you out of their existence despite how hard they've tried -- let alone those who didn't, and instead give chase.
    And I can't help but feel as if I'm a scourge to be reckoned with. Some sort of emotional plague culminated for the sole intention of bringing ruin to all those longing for love in a man like myself. Makes me nauseous. So much so, as if urging to vomit my sins of being who I am in that regard.
    That's why I love this song. Keeps me in check.

    Recently re-watched Samurai Champloo. Googling English lyric videos for the soundtrack. Find this cover.
    I was really worried that the lyrics wouldn't flow in another language, and that the vocalist wouldn't capture that light jazz tone of the original.
    This cover is perfect. No two ways about it.
