Nightcore - Katayoku no Tori [HD]

Anime: Umineko No Naku Koro Ni
Song: Katayoku no Tori
Artist: Shikata Akiko
Picture: images2.fanpop....
Lyrics(English):
The final judgement shall be delivered
Nobody can escape the sin that flows in their veins
The dark clouds gather to the tune of the rumbling sea
The winds of the tempest begin to ring
The enigmatic words make the witches chuckle
While the banquet of this irregular night repeats
(This hope) Falling towards hell,
(is it a sin?) these golden butterflies
dipped their wings in how many sins?
Don't cry,
destroy these imprisoned illusions
Just once, rise above your demise
Hold on to the unfulfilled promises into your heart
And burst open the deep, deep red!
Are you without sin?
How heavy is my punishment?
Are you aware of that which has no voice?
Are you aware of your own sins?
This open wound is like a crimson rose
This hatred lodged in my heart begins to bloom
(This secret) With its wing snatched away,
(is it a sin?) who does this one-winged bird
call out to in its final moment?
Don't run,
accept your errors, the truths, the lies
And let magic change everything
With love, with sorrow, take this answer that came too late
and tightly, tightly hold on to it. See?
The dazzling light begins to flow, the door to paradise is opening
Miracles pour onto this obstinate fate
This entangled world is crumbling
Don't speak the words of the eternal curse
Don't listen to your true wishes
Don't cry,
destroy these imprisoned illusions
Just once, rise above your demise
Hold on to the unfulfilled promises into your heart
And burst open the deep, deep red.
It is impossible to get to the real secret if you do not realize all of the love

Disclaimer: I own nothing, I only Nightcore'd the song. Please don't eat me.

O.O Shikata Akiko, with Nightcore?! My ears cannot handle this epicness! *Dies of music brilliance overload

[@Cherria]

akiko's voice is still pretty even when nightcore'd~

[@ItsYaFox]

this song is so epic

[@LightningTTfan14]

This song is even more beautiful because of this. And I can't help but imagine that it's Maria singing this.^^

[@nimcoabdul1278]

this is amazing it's so cool 3 sec's in and im dancing in my room

[@jonathangoodwin5609]

I just spent one hour trying to find this, without remember what what it was called, what it sounded like, or what series the song was from. Not sure how I managed to find it again with nothing to go on.

[@kobaltyco]

A miracle

[@antoineharrault2421]

@@kobaltyco won't happen again, trust me

[@PROturquoise]

Geez, this song is a masterpiece even this way *O*!!!

[@vaniwa8273]

Thanks for making this nightcored 😍

[@Maewen__]

Waw, this song is amazing.

[@aliciagregoire9971]

I love both of the versions!

[@MrK2345]

Sends chills up my spine XD

[@brianahawkins5244]

Beautiful art and song it gives me chills

[@VermillionTrigger]

You do know that Chipmunking a song is only denoted by increasing the pitch of the song until it's sound could only be created by a Chipmunk, yes? Nightcore changes pitch, speed, and tempo to create something that sounds distinctly different while still keeping a similar sound to the original track.

[@Таван]

VermillionTrigger and it 's somehow sound good lol (yes i know it's 5 years)

[@venangie1]

"when they cry" : because of this masterpiece? ;D

[@willgm3500]

If only the actual show was as good as this OP.

[@lizzytexts5827]

They did not give any justice to the actual story😔

[@kittenkcatk22]

It's not every day I have someone tell me I should be ashamed of myself for placing a song under the Nightcore genre. Oh wait, yes it is and it's a comment that comes from people who have no idea what they're talking about. Oh look, today it's you. You should be ashamed of yourself for telling me I should be ashamed of myself when you know nothing of Nightcore culture. Good day.

[@sarahsteele2023]

For some reason, this song reminds me Shingeki no Kyojin. I'm not a big fan of Shingeki no Kyojin, it just sounded like it :D

[@MadHearts]

Are you death? or is your headphones not working? cause I have no idea what your listening to but this is one of the best Nightcores I've listened to!

[@somebodyyouknow2110]

Heidi Van Lee deaf*

[@spiritelectric4998]

2020 anyone?

[@quickman2663]

Nightcore + More Nightcore = This. (That's the math)

[@Kreepie11]

I love the original. This.... this reminds me of Alvin and the Chipmunks. In a very painful way.

[@sejsel]

That's what is happening, sadly. However, you cannot put all artists in one group. Take for instance Forkkie with these songs, which are definitely good or Maikel6311. That is not just changing speed. That is art.

[@kittenkcatk22]

Only it's not the chipmunks, anyone who isn't deaf can tell the difference between the squeaky chipmunk voices and people who nightcore correctly.

[@killfae]

you mean drop a song into audacity, hit the 'change speed' button and make it sound as high as possible in 12 seconds? I'm not kidding, most Nightcore covers have literally NO thought put into them at all, When it's actually remixed, then it's its own genre, but when it's just pitched in audacity, it's just a chipmunk cover

[@sliceruser]

maikel reference ftw! anyway there use to be a guy, silentsuicide, he made some good ones to, i think he got banned or something tho all his vids got deleted D:!!

[@RandomAvatarFan]

or people who get annoyed that someone sped up a song like the chipmunks and then saying it's something new, it's a different genre etc.

[@vanessabingley7138]

It's a shame the anime adaptation sucked... :/

[@wolfandsoda]

I know. And something deep within me REALLY wanted to like it; it just... didn't do it's job, I guess. If they'd waited until the game was finished, I bet it would have been better, but what's done is done.

[@strawberry_skullz]

haha i clicked on this cuz it had my name =D

[@kittenkcatk22]

*sigh* No.

[@killfae]

STAHP

[@kittenkcatk22]

I believe it's called Nightcore.

[@killfae]

well, basically, that's what 'most' nightcore is.

[@gesseofbloodclan405]

why do people always tell those who do nightcore they are stealing the song?

[@SpootyBiscuit]

I'll say it again: While I dislike nightcore personally, I'm not going to judge anyone for liking it. Calling it art, though, is a slap in the face to real musical artists, producers, and remixers everywhere. Artists take years of musical training and experience and weeks of hard work to produce a single track. Nightcore takes an hour of time in audacity playing with pitch and tempo sliders with absolutely no musical background necessary. They are not even remotely on the same level.

[@firenightnightcore8636]

Wher can i find the hole animenplz i'm begging tell me wher i can see it for free !!!💞

[@whyteleaf]

Only you would know that?

[@kittenkcatk22]

But.. that's pretty much what Nightcore is. So I mean, if that rustles your jimmies... you might need to see a doctor about that.

[@KidMangaX]

Frankly, the singer's voice is much too high for it to make decent Nightcore, which pitches up the sound even more. It might have gotten away as Denpa, which even fans of the genre acknowledge can be very harsh on the ears... but there's nothing cute about this. "Rustled jimmies" is the new "U MAD?" in that only people whose jimmies are rustled even say the expression. So I hope you have a good day, and please accept this criticism graciously.

[@SpootyBiscuit]

"Let's insult the other party constantly for no good reason! That'll show them how right I am!" Seriously, chill out. Regarding your stance on auto-tune: Audacity has a "change pitch" button located right above the "change tempo" button, the one presumably used to make this video. Auto-tune, when you get right down to it, is just that: a pitch-changer. Changing a song's tempo, as in this video, also alters its pitch. Just trying to understand, why is one so much worse than the other to you?

[@hasankarakus6456]

Some pitch can be worse... but its fair....

[@RandomAvatarFan]

That's right. I lost all hearing three years ago. That is why I hate music. Okay, I did exagerrate the first time. It's not as squeaky as the chipmunks, but I feel the rest of my comment applies. I don't think I can get into this genre, if it truly is a different genre. It's not that I don't appreciate music as @SoWhatImHere96... even the genres I'm not interested, in I can still appreciate and I'm not actually deaf as you would have it...

[@SpootyBiscuit]

This is what I despise about the nightcore community. Nightcoring entails spending 10-20 minutes in Audacity playing with pitch and tempo sliders. Being a musical artist takes countless hours of hard work to produce a single new track. They're nowhere near the same level; comparing the two is a huge slap in the face to those who produce new music. I'm not going to judge you if you think a song sounds better slightly sped up, but calling Nightcore "art" is obnoxiously pretentious.

[@mattiswan1]

nah katayuko no tori just just doesn't work in nightcore actually after 0:51 its better, but I prefer the original

[@MadHearts]

What's wrong with you? IF YOU DON'T LIKE IT THEN TURN YOUR COMPUTER OFF AND LET THOSE YOU LIKE IT ENJOY IT!!

[@Zithorius]

This is barely sped up at all lol.. Is it really nightcore?

[@killfae]

all nightcore is is just chipmunking a song

[@Dojan5]

Eugh. Distorting Shikata's beautiful song like this. You should be ashamed of yourself.

[@Dojan5]

So I have no idea that all the creator of this have done is take a song, alter the frequency and tempo, and then called it "nightcore remix?" Yeah, no, I guess I have no clue what I'm talking about. There's no effort put into this, and it's like spitting in the original creator's face.

[@Dojan5]

You have absolutely no theoretical music knowledge, why should I listen to you when I quite obviously consider myself fairly well versed in the subject? Do you actually know what autotune is? I sincerely doubt it.
