“The Town Without Me” by Kayo Hinazuki When I get bigger, big enough to go somewhere by myself, I want to go to a land that’s far away. I want to go to a faraway land. I want to go to an island that has no people. I want to go to an island that has no pain or sadness.There are no adults, children, classmates, teachers, or my mom on that island. On that island, I can climb a tree when I want to climb a tree, swim in the sea when I want to swim in the sea, and sleep when I want to sleep. On the island, I think about the town I left behind. Kids go to school, as if nothing has changed. Adults go to the office, as if nothing has changed. Mom eats, as if nothing has changed. When I think about the town without me, I feel a sense of relief. I want to go far, far away
And Satoru kinda changed her perspective on what would happen if she would. I mean, if you, who cared for such person, suddenly realized that they went far away without telling you, you'd be sad and keep remembering that person and never move on. The manga would be a great reference
I feel relieved that, despise all the negative reviews I had hear and read, there are people that have experience the same feeling as me, watching this anime. From the storyline to the characters growth, to suspension and mystery, to the sounds and animation. I'm grateful to you all you that enjoyed it and I am not alone.
Hear Hear! I watched this on a whim last week and was stunned by how little fanfare there is surrounding it. I was gripped from the moment I started watching. One man’s commitment to care literally changed the lives of an entire group of people for the better and I can’t think of many things more powerful than that. This show will stick with me forever.
@Rohan Dasgupta You are right about this. I wrote this after I first watched it and had read quite a few people complaining about the ending. Plus, I do think that it is relatively under hyped compared to how much I enjoyed it, which is ok, but I have definitely recommended it to a lot of people.
the story itself was awesome for sure, it's just that for us who shipped hinazuki with MC, her being with another man left us with quite a bitter taste
KuhaKu Ah no my doubt isn't in the way he could reach this high my doubt is in the way it sounds artifical, you should listen to the cover he made with Amalee you can really notice the difference there... I'm hesitant to say anything because I don't know if he uses autotune for a fact but it sounds like he does
This is the only anime in the world that made me love it so much despite the extremely bitter feels it left in it's end which took me months to recover from~
@@methcat5005 Yeah dude, i mean it is a happy ending for the mc, i get that. But for the audience who were extremely invested to Hinazuki, well we all got completely wrecked in the end. It broke my fucking heart when i saw her carrying her baby near the end, cause i knew then that at that moment she was already taken by someone else. Sucks but i get why you think it's a happy ending.
@Camren Peet Yup, this ending song still gives me the chills even almost a year after watching the anime. It seriously gives such atmosphere for the anime~
If you want some extra fun, you should check out the end of the libe action series which has a really strong end that is more accurate to the manga. It starts at about episode 8. It initially came out on Netflix and is a solid adaptation.
Dima may i say, i appreciate how you truly give credit to those who help you in these videos. From the opening credits, to having annotations throughout the video linking to their channels. Alot of collabs dont work out like that, especially big channels who leave the instrumental guy who did most of their work with little to no credit.
I heard your cover in some speedpaint Instantly came here to cry (i've never watched anime, I just know the song in russian and the plot of the anime. That's enough for me to sob)
I don't remember if I commented before, but I really like this cover. Especially from 3:23 is brutal, really love it! Love both of your voices, and the high notes at the "Everything gets brighter" part are awesome!
You in duets is on the list of the most beautiful things I know. Didn't think anything could top the Your Lie in April or AnoHana duets but maaaan I think I'll need to make room for one more to share the top spot.
This song kinda gives me the same vibe of the poem in this anime "This Town without me" a True Melancholic Feeling. Amazing and this makes me think of someone in the past with "what if regrets."
Such a warm song to such a sad anime, the best part is that it feels like the song was made only for this anime. Not only that but these songs and anime and pretty much the only ones in there respective anime
Holy fuck everything about this is perfect. First off, it's a cover by you. Second, Hikaru because I just fucking love her and her covers. And lastly, this song is just amazing.
One of my favorite covers of all time. Been listening to it for a good few years at the least. Sometimes it’s good to look through liked videos and see what‘s up in there.
This song dude......THIS SONG. Every now and then i find a song that feels like it syncs directly with me and my own experiences and this is one of them. Just wow this is an amazing cover, i love the original song as well and im not sure if the lyrics were this in the original song but they were fantastic!
Not even my final high school concert, March, performance has made me cry... but this.. I love it so much. Thank you. You have no idea how much I needed this. Thank you so much. +dimalancaster
This was a surprise! Very well done. This song requires a certain type of voice and you both have fitting styles. Your covers are always worth the wait Dima! You never disappoint.
This was amazing when i found this in my sub box from Hikaru's station and it wasn't uploaded here yet. dropped by to give a like as both videos deserve one you guys did great!
Just binge watched all of the Dub of Erased last night. Every time I listen to this song now, I get the chills. Such a great anime, thank you for making this.
Man, I can't believe that it has been already more than 2 years since I discovered your channel and you never, never disappointed me. You are the only person whose anime covers I can listen to without having a strong urge to slice my wrists. I hope you will continue doing what you are doing now - people love it and I hope that you enjoy it too.
I absolutely love everything about this song. I didn't think anything could ever top "Strike Back" but you went above and beyond. Fantastic work my friend!
I was waiting for you to put it on your channel so that I can say how beautiful it is! The lyrics especially blew me away! And your voices blend so well! Good job you two!
Ohhh! I had waited so long, it took so long to finish the anime. I never had thought I have to bare a similar feeling like when I watch charlotte. And for this cover, I need to say great job. Both of you had done so great that the song seemed to shine a light on me. Both of you had convey the emotions really well that it makes me think of a romance between Satoru and Kayo. I really wish that they would be together. Thankyou for making such great covers again. You deserve to be widely known :)edit: I would say that if you are the one who made the lyrics, then give props to you. It really fit the song the lyrics of you seemed to make you look more handsome or voice handsome and also gives impact to hikaru's voice to shine out. Your hard work is rewarding to us. Thanks again :)
the first time i heard the original version i was stunned of how incredibly well it fit the story im writting... in a different way that it fits erased but gets me emotional everytime XD thx for making this cover its even more perfect for Jay and AL
This is my first time on your channel, Dima. And I just want to say I've never heard anything so beautiful. You work so hard by yourself and these turn out into literal perfection! I will definitely be keeping an eye on your channel for new uploads, and look forward to it! Please take your time to make them as beautiful as this one and keep up the hard work! (But don't push yourself too hard ;) )
OMG, it's amazing. Your voices sound so good together. I love Hikaru's voice, it sounds so lovely and innocent. Also, the presentation is well done, very pretty art and effects.
I wish I knew how to train my voice to be like yours, like how all of your range sounds like one voice and it's really consistent and sounds effortless!
***** This is my third year singing so that fills me with confidence! You are one of the best I've heard on UA-cam, only wish more people realised it! :) I think I'll restart my channel and put some recordings I have up :) Thanks for the boost :)
Wow the voices match the characters really well I can totally see them singing this Great work you both, glad I could hear this very nice adaptation of one of my favourite songs ♥️♥️
Absolutely beautiful, Dima and Hikaru! Your voices blend so well together, the lyrics are just breathtaking, and the feels that are involved in this!! Seriously, thank you for making my day even better!!
Chorus 3 is where the song truly hits the level of awesome that Boku Dake ga Inai Machi provided. I could really feel the goosebumps right at the moment when you went up in the notes, Dima ;3 Fantastic cover, both Dima and Hikaru Station!
Ya know the first time i hear a song it gives me nostalggia of the place i listened to it. So When i sing it it gives me the feeling of being on the bus at night at all the lights heading home which is kinda sad now that Im stuck at my aunts house due to quarantine
This is amazing, where have I been Livin' this whole time.? 😶😶😶 Hikaru Station your voice is just so sweet, I'm in love with this cover.. Love from India Waiting for future collabs..!! Keep up the good work.!
Merry Christmas! That is what I really want to say when I heard this song, its like you change the original version into a christmas song,, very suiting,, well I guess the mood really feels warm and light hearted. I guess that are the term that I imagine when I am listen to this song.(just opinion) And by the way you sound incredible as ever. ;)

boku dake ga inai machi
She wants to go to a lone place with Satoru 😭😔
Gets me every time
Aaaaa
And Satoru kinda changed her perspective on what would happen if she would. I mean, if you, who cared for such person, suddenly realized that they went far away without telling you, you'd be sad and keep remembering that person and never move on. The manga would be a great reference
I was addicted to this, still a banger. Too bad hikaru dosent post singing covers much anymore
Both of you did such an awesome job, and I love this arrangement it feels so warm despite the cold atmosphere of Erased
+Kuraiinu Thank you so much for listening Kura!

I also love your voice Brycie ❤️
How about doing this song with akane?...
Жаль, что наши другие ребята делают Кавера на русском, но ты их послушай. К примеру jackie-o, Nika lenina, sati akura, Maria Bibika
Dima, seriously amazing bro! :)
Can't wait to see Sayuri live in Japan!!
***** ^_^
did the wish come true or not becouse sayuri is erased and we wont get her back lets enjoy her songs.
2024 and its still my fav cover of all time! thank you dima and hikaru ❤️
Oh I love u cover. I changed my account and now find ur video after many years 😍✨✨
I feel relieved that, despise all the negative reviews I had hear and read, there are people that have experience the same feeling as me, watching this anime. From the storyline to the characters growth, to suspension and mystery, to the sounds and animation. I'm grateful to you all you that enjoyed it and I am not alone.
This anime had me gripped, I finished it in 2 days. It's so good
Hear Hear! I watched this on a whim last week and was stunned by how little fanfare there is surrounding it. I was gripped from the moment I started watching. One man’s commitment to care literally changed the lives of an entire group of people for the better and I can’t think of many things more powerful than that. This show will stick with me forever.
@Rohan Dasgupta Same, man! Really enjoyed it! If I didn’t have a wife and kids I probably would have watched it all at once! Haha
@Rohan Dasgupta You are right about this. I wrote this after I first watched it and had read quite a few people complaining about the ending. Plus, I do think that it is relatively under hyped compared to how much I enjoyed it, which is ok, but I have definitely recommended it to a lot of people.
the story itself was awesome for sure, it's just that for us who shipped hinazuki with MC, her being with another man left us with quite a bitter taste
3:37 I F*CKING LOVE THAT PART, YOUR AWESOME!!!
Same here. Along with the rest of the song.
omg I'm sorry but it really sounds like he is using autotune and it's cringy there
Eyal Oged no, i think that with that voice its possible to reach that tone perfectly, even though it doesnt even sound like autotune at all :/
KuhaKu
Ah no my doubt isn't in the way he could reach this high my doubt is in the way it sounds artifical, you should listen to the cover he made with Amalee you can really notice the difference there... I'm hesitant to say anything because I don't know if he uses autotune for a fact but it sounds like he does
Eyal Oged Well, I dont think so, but it could be xD
This is the only anime in the world that made me love it so much despite the extremely bitter feels it left in it's end which took me months to recover from~
heh wasnt the ending happy one? He finally got the fulfilling life he didnt had before
@@methcat5005 Yeah dude, i mean it is a happy ending for the mc, i get that. But for the audience who were extremely invested to Hinazuki, well we all got completely wrecked in the end.
It broke my fucking heart when i saw her carrying her baby near the end, cause i knew then that at that moment she was already taken by someone else. Sucks but i get why you think it's a happy ending.
@Camren Peet Yup, this ending song still gives me the chills even almost a year after watching the anime. It seriously gives such atmosphere for the anime~
Fuck off you just- ah I thought to give it a try
@@namelessking111 I still remember a joke statement made back then: Man, when the murderous psychopath was more loyal to you than your waifu.
watched this anime two months ago and im still not over it and i think i would never
If you want some extra fun, you should check out the end of the libe action series which has a really strong end that is more accurate to the manga. It starts at about episode 8. It initially came out on Netflix and is a solid adaptation.
