Ai Oboete Imasuka (Do you remember love?) by Kanon (Nao Touyama)

From: The World God Only Knows Character Cover Album
Ai Oboete Imasuka (Do you remember love?) by Kanon Nakagawa
Possibly the most well known song out of all. From Macross series. Very fitting that the series idol will be the one to sing the most powerful song.

Lyrics:
Ima anata no koe ga kikoeru
"Koko ni oide" to
Samishisa ni makesouna watashi ni
Ima anata no sugata ga mieru
Aruite kuru
Me wo tojite matte iru watashi ni
Kinou made namida de kumotteta
Kokora wa ima...
Oboete imasu ka me to me ga atta toki wo
Oboete imasu ka te to te ga fureatta toki
Sore wa hajimete no ai no tabidachi deshita
I LOVE YOU SO
Ima anata no shisen kanjiru
Hanaretetemo
Karada-juu ga atatakaku naru no
Ima anata no ai shinjimasu
Douzo watashi wo
Tooku kara mimamotte kudasai
Kinou made namida de kumotteta
Sekai wa ima...
Repeat *
** Mou hitoribotchi ja nai
anata ga iru kara...
Repeat *
Repeat **

English translation:
Right now, I hear your voice
saying "Come here to me."
Just when it seemed loneliness had beaten me.
Right now, I see you
walking over to me.
I close my eyes and wait for you to come.
Till yesterday, it seemed filled only with tears.
But now my heart is
Do you remember? The time when our eyes first met?
Do you remember? The time when our hands first touched?
That was the very first time I set out on the journey of love.
I love you so.
Right now, I can feel your gaze
though you're not here with me.
And in my body a warmth begins to glow.
Right now, I believe in your love,
so won't you please
watch over me from so far away?
Till yesterday it seemed filled only with tears.
Now the world is...
Repeat *
** I'm not alone anymore
now that you're here with me.
Repeat *
Repeat **

Crazy she ends up in Delta and does an amazing version of the song with 4 other super talented woman.

[@jonconnor0729]

Kanon is one of Nao Touyama debut roles and she already sings! She's an angel.

[@onepieceyamato2901]

Kanon, she should've won... 😭😭😭

[@rympha3581]

When you realize this song is 34 years old...

[@OrgussCentury]

Transcending 34 thousand cycles you mean.

[@GuikofMikumo]

When you remember The original macross was launch at 1989

[@markelkins2259]

That would be 1999. If you mean the original story release that would be 1982.

[@arbeed8449]

Do you remember indeed

[@aldeng3608]

it's a LOT older than 34 years.

[@ALEJOGP100]

Now she is Reina Prowler in Macross Delta

[@Kougeru]

+alupihan because she hardly gets any screen time lol.

[@Hawwwlucha]

More like Nao voices Reina completely different than most of her roles.

[@Kougeru]

Eh, sometimes. There's been a few moments where she comes out very clearly. in a similar manner.

[@hellsphinxjr]

reirei! hehehe i guess it is not far from possible that we might hear another version of oboete imasuka in macross delta just too bad another damn good pilot died in the last episode can't wait for the upcoming episodes

[@uramori9687]

She got a lot of solo time in Neo Stream !

[@flipkiller8521]

This version is just so beautiful to listen to, it brings tears to my eyes.

[@sivanlevi3867]

In terms of vocals, this comes so close to the original version. I love it! Honestly the whole world should hear this!

[@saynotop2w]

It's like my all time fav old school show and my favorite new school show just combined out of nowhere and gave me a birthday gift half a year early.

[@Mazryonh]

Wow, I'm amazed that Nao Touyama could pull this off so well!

[@garakds9]

If it weren't for Macross, I wouldn't know this anime and others using its song

[@Unknow666able]

A modern Version...marvelous!!!

[@meeyooneese6498]

God kanon has such a lovely voice

[@videoloversful]

I do love her voice 😭❤

[@SaidaiMisato]

This one is GOLD

[@heavyarms01h]

The premiere of this song was one of the most awesome deployment/launch scenes in sci-fi anime history. It's interesting imagining Kanon as the voice that launched a thousand jet fighters. =P

[@KoeSeer]

what's more, now she is voice actor for Reina Prowler, a character in Macross Delta.

[@SVSky]

Reina Prowler is a good singer ;-)

[@mariammecjamalgama1702]

No he visto Kaminomi, pero me gusta mucho este cover que hicieron

[@videoloversful]

I feel like I'm ascending with this 02:51

[@cristiamguillen464]

la verdad conoci antes esta version que la de Macross y debo decir que cancio tan hermosa que desde los 80 hasta 2021 se mantiene igual de preciosa!

[@imkow]

great arrangement and mixing . the singing is also outstanding..adding more excellency to the masterpiece...

[@MichaelLlaneza]

Frontier is better, but there's a lot of love to be found in Delta. Most especially, it's respect for what came before. That piano DYRL as an episode close at the end of the series... pure beauty. e. Damn, that really is her.

[@mariiriin]

Not to mention the Walkure version of Ai Oboete Imasu Ka is the best Do you remember love? arrangement I've seen. Didn't make a mistake buying the album for it because sadly, it was not sung during the anime.

[@Lunedill]

​@@mariiriin Watching them in the concert singing it its really something else.

[@ArifKamaruzaman]

oh I just drop everything i was doing when this autoplayed. I missed this song so much.

[@fufzooz]

KANON CHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN

[@meskisz]

Wow. This is very powerful piece of art.

[@JamesRichardsPlays]

Best cover I have run across, EVER! Love it!

[@priestesslucy3299]

Yeah this beats Ranka Lee's version *hands down.* Haven't compared the Walkure version yet, but somehow I don't think a harmony will be as good as a powerful soloist [even though this singer is part of that group]

[@eddm3382]

I cried :"v

[@gabrielboizo9188]

Macross do you remember love

[@askaazka6468]

Mmm.. Feels good...

[@KoeSeer]

this is such a great cover and great tribute.

O M G!!!!! this is amazing, nice performance of a classic

[@victorygreen]

She reminds me of Mari Iijima when she was younger

[@DavidPioPio]

Hermosa la interpretación de kanon, es un honor participar en la franquicia de macros con esta canción y luego Nao su seiyu formó parte de macros Delta. ~ PD hay una teoría que dice que Kanon se baso en Ranka 0:

[@alanperdhanatimor4748]

The best cover of ai obemasuka imo, even maybe it can beat the original one

[@necrogirl666]

Beautiful version.

[@imkow]

a digital grand symphony version..

[@Brillemeister]

The synth presets make this sound like a song from ~25 years ago. Not that there's anything wrong with that

[@Hawwwlucha]

Well, it's technically be over 33 years, if it's just the movie lmao

[@zidanutomo326]

if you look closely, you'll realize that the whole anime's songs are mostly comprised of those theme, especially if you look closer to the chord progressions and the modulations. It's as complex and beautiful as old-school themed songs

[@wormspeaker]

Songs to deculture to.

[@danco94]

i know not many people watch your videos but i just wanted to tell you that your videos are appreciated and i love these songs!

[@sanybouly33]

someone upload the instrumental please!!! this version is awsome :)

[@poomvisanu9767]

One song that would make alien a culture shock

[@guu3528]

Mari-san is still actively singing concerts and producing new music, by the way. This is a nice cover, though.

[@puppet4978]

I didn't know she sang that.

[@saxwastaken]

She sang it another two times, once for Macross Delta, and another for the Macross 40th anniversary album

[@SaitoZeroDeth]

I love this song

[@orawanpony]

[@stephaniebroussard488]

Guusagi I think the delta version of this song is cute, and it's apart of macross tradition, you know?

[@ramondewild]

I was just thinking this and that were really similar kzbin.info/www/bejne/lZe9lWRvedRgqMU : Megumi Nakajima

[@rympha3581]

You are aware Megumi Nakajima is the VA and singer for Ranka right?

[@Stanley_Ca.]

Who's sings this version ??? 😭😭😭 Cause l love it...

[@stanleysaldana449]

The art is from an anime called The World God Only Knows; the angel in the art is Kanon Nakagawa, the voice actress for her is Nao Toyama. Which is the singer to this song. Her break out role was Kanon because the anime made the character an idol, which allowed her to sing a lot of singles. That’s why Kanon Nakagawa is the GOAT. You should listen to “Omoi wa rain rain” from her too, it’s a beautifully chill song.
