Matteita Hito (Original Japan Song) Ningyo Hime

[@yansenmaulanaputra6889]

Quote Marina: Yes It's the only way. I must return to the sea, where I was born; where I belong. Only through my death can I keep my love for the prince true, and pure. And perhaps, when I have turned to sea foam, foam upon the waves, I may yet find a way to be of service to my prince, and to others. For though his heart was never meant to be mine, never the less I have learned the meaning of true love. I want to be with him and around him, always, even if it is only in the form of a clear, fine, sea foam 😢😢

I just watched this movie for the first time in 20 years and I'm crying like a kid. It is way more touching and beautiful than the Little Mermaid of Walt Disney (and also very sad and frustrating). Even as a kid I preferred this version, I used to find Marina prettier than Ariel.

[@Emily_Hurley]

I loved each film for what it brought to the table. I love each ones personality traits. I like Marina's heart and nature...

[@semtkedisi]

yes I cry

[@SweetBunny8]

The one I have been waiting for since my birth, it's you... The joy of knowing the first love, it's you.. Even if a storm hits We have no fear because we are together The white pearl you hold... Without love one is always alone no matter where they are, they are alone The one I have been waiting for since my birth, it's you... Darling show me what happiness is all about... Even if we must say a sorrowful farewell I will love always love you, I will never forget you!

[@awoman6543]

thanks

[@livus3787]

Thank you!! I was wondering if the english lyrics are somewhat near to the original, coz also the hungarian version is sooo different, but all of them keeping the spirit of it

0:56 Loved that the Sea Witch was watching and listening too. She must've listened to Marina many times before, thus why she asked for her voice.

[@infinitegoodness233]

Now that you've said it even i feel the same.

[@derek8282]

Yes! It's a nice touch to the story that is easy to miss, especially the way the VHS version crops the screen. The think we can assume the Witch has watched Marina for some time.

[@Slothgreedenvy]

@@derek8282 I'm glad others agree, just because she's a witch doesn't mean she doesn't admire beautiful things.

[@jucamovi1992]

The prince was not a jerk for not loving her. You can't be forced to love somebody. The prince treated her well; he was kind and good to Marina. He loved her a sister. He risked his own life to save her from the wolfs. At the end of the movie; the prince felt sad for Marina's tragic end. The only one who deserved a bad ending was that stupid cat.

[@michaelfang1393]

He done no wrong. He didn't realize she was the one who saved him from drowning until the end. This Tragic love > Disney's rewrite of the story

[@cheekypumpkincheeks4364]

the prince loved her but did not choose her. he chose gratitude over love. he felt remorseful in the end as he did not recognize that she was her true savior.

[@CorpseTwist69]

Not only is this a beautiful song but listening to it it just makes me feel like I'm bobbing up and down throughout the waves of the ocean..

[@CptNeeda1]

I cried so much when I was a child while watching this version and yet this is the best version so far...this song, so sad and beautiful feels so nostalgic, Marina will always live in our heart !!! Flo

[@rainyj2037]

Most people don't remember or have revelation that this version of the little Mermaid even exist...but i digress it is beautiful & more realistic in the terms of love

[@infinitegoodness233]

When i hear this i feel Marina's pain. She had the looks, the body, the innocense but the prince's heart was for someone else.

[@joemaldonado9231]

This will always be my favorite version of The Little Mermaid. And the music! :)

[@12gossip90]

I love this version more. Its sad but frustrating at the same time but some how still remains a beautiful work of art

[@derek8282]

The animation and music are gorgeous, this movie is a treasure that few people know about. Such a great story

[@dadada486]

The Japanese singers voice sounds so familiar that i could've sworn i grew up listening to her!

[@marcioroberto9820]

Watched this very reccently and I'm stil haunted by the ending. Man, this song sorta of catches the whole feeling of this anime and give us in form of a song, something you can feel, you can listen to and well... Feel hitting you in a very remarkable game.

[@_.BlueCrow._]

So much better than Disneys...I love it so much ^^

[@AdAstra34]

Japanese sounds great, thanks for sharing :)

[@awesomegirls10]

I'm just like Marina. I can't blame the Prince. It's as if I loved him too, as if I also let him go. She knew what the consequences would be, and loved him more than her own life. That's true love. And he DID love her! He was gonna marry her, and you can't even say the Princess of the Sumio kingdom got in the way because he thought that was Marina! So in a way, he always loved her and not the Princess. I will love this movie forever. ♥

[@driadearborea6138]

beautiful Voice!

[@maytalacedo2942]

I love this song.

[@jagirl966]

This is the most faithful adaptation I have seen, but I'm happy they left out a few things that make the original even more depressing.

[@Passions5555]

Like how the little mermaid 's transformation into a human girl was a agonizing experience for her because it literally split her tail in half to make legs. And because her transformation from mermaid to human was an inherently unnatural thing it caused every step she took to feel like she was walking on sharp swords, so she was in constant agony moving around. And the sea witch cut out her tongue. No magic spell removing her voice, but literally having her tongue removed.

[@tappyokamaniok210]

Except for the stupid talking cat, that never got wth, I love how in this movie, as in the book, the villain wasn't the Witch but... reality...

[@klein4301]

The Witch is a villain, we clearly see that she loves to unleash violent storms to terrorize the merpeople and sink ships. The Witch causes Marina's death. The Witch is a seer, she saw the future, she knew very well that Marina would die. So yes, the Witch of the Sea is a real Villain and unlike the Villains of other fairy tales, she has won. In a Japanese Story Book dedicated to this film, it is revealed that the talking cat is the Familiar of an evil Wizard (Lord Chamberlain) who aims to oust the Prince and conquer his kingdom ... But a prophecy had warned the Wizard and the Cat that if the Prince had married "The voiceless woman from the sea (Marina)" their plans of conquest would have failed.

[@derek8282]

As an adult, I now see the Witch as a neutral and fair party. She offered a trade, laid out the consequences, and made sure Marina agreed to it with full understanding. Then she even offered her a way out. The Witch, in a way, was teaching Marina a heavy life lesson. The Witch may have guessed Marina would die, but also knew she would acquire a human soul and become immortal, so I agree she's not evil.

[@michaelfang1393]

@@klein4301 Yeah, the witch is a villain but unlike Disney, this witch was very little involved, just one gift of her power is the cause dos Marina's downfall. She wasn't even manipulative either to chase after her or interfere if she wins her love.

[@klein4301]

@@michaelfang1393 Because she already knows Marina will fail, as she knew her desire

[@AnemicRoyaltyRX]

so much prettier in Japanese ♡

[@Rio-chii]

And the lyrics touch a way more!

[@Rio-chii]

(I'm still a beginner at Japanese, but here you go) Matteita Hito - The one I've been waiting for The one I've been waiting for since the day I was born is you... You made me feel the joy of love for the first time. Although a storm comes from somewhere, If we stay together, it won't be scary. The white pearl that you've embraced... Lululu Without love you're all alone, No matter where are you, you'll be all alone

[@arashi-chan1577]

The anime is so beautiful and so sad 😭❤️. The music in the background is so beautiful. I love this music very much ❤️

[@aristeia0222]

my favorite princess mermaid animation. really beautifful but sad version!! poor Marina, Fool prince!!

[@amyrose6541]

What a nice old school Anime song!

[@TarahWolf]

I remember my mom buying this for me as a kid. She told me it wasn't the Disney version and I didn't care. To this day I still prefer it over Disney. @1:32 I wanted this so much for Marina.

[@prettynekogirl1]

It's sad how you can hear her voice better here than in the english version But it's so beautiful

[@Nicolas-mw4mx]

The Japanese version is so beautiful, I don't really like the English one. But i love French Version ! kzbin.info/www/bejne/pam0l5Saqq2hnJY

[@akumaichijo834]

:"( pobre Marina

[@bossmissivysama]

the sadness this has evoked in me since I was a kid and I still am not familiar with the lyrics... this song transcends

[@RegularInvader]

It's too sad in my perspective that Marina's family didn’t deserve to lose her so suddenly. I can't imagine their pain when she left their home, especially since she never said goodbye.😢

[@SweetBunny8]

The white pearl disappears in the seawaves... Without love one is always alone No matter whom they are with, they are alone :3

[@vulpixfairy1985]

SweetBunny8 I love this song even though it's sad.

[@nikkiholland8703]

This movie was very sad.

[@infinitegoodness233]

Wonder how many more Marinas are out there who would give up their lives just for the sake of True Love.

[@darwinbwe4060]

Great song, and melody

[@lolamoon3910]

La musique du début est juste incroyable de 0:01 à 0:10 c'est tellement beau

[@leannerose6181]

You know that someone at Disney saw this anime when they were researching for The Little Mermaid; the statue of the Prince is nowhere in the original story; where else did Disney get it but this earlier anime?

[@peternoer]

The same as someone at Disney saw the original anime of "Kimba the White Lion" when researching for their copy of "The Lion King".

[@karen8624]

“Each of the young princesses had a little plot of ground in the garden, where she might dig and plant as she pleased. One arranged her flower-bed into the form of a whale; another thought it better to make hers like the figure of a little mermaid; but that of the youngest was round like the sun, and contained flowers as red as his rays at sunset. She was a strange child, quiet and thoughtful; and while her sisters would be delighted with the wonderful things which they obtained from the wrecks of vessels, she cared for nothing but her pretty red flowers, like the sun, excepting a beautiful marble statue. It was the representation of a handsome boy, carved out of pure white stone, which had fallen to the bottom of the sea from a wreck. She planted by the statue a rose-colored weeping willow.”

[@Passions5555]

The prince is as pretty as Marina is 😮

[@Kazi_Sabbir_Ali]

This anime song cry me.I don't forget this song.

[@Queenananasa]

Does anyone have the instrumental version of this song by any chance? =)

[@Emily_Hurley]

I love this song since a child/teen. Trippy I see 2012 intervista di RaiNews con the guy I have been thinking of hmm..... "her heart becomes her new guide it will portal all the way to love eternal...Far away I hear the call, of the heart a song like mine, do do do do, Its melody draws near and suddenly we're in perfect harmony I know it beckons to me from the land that's not from the sea Yet I know I must follow wherever it leads me if I am to reach my goal, I Must stake Everything In my true destiny, no matter what the price do do do do do doo" Such a good song! ^.^*) !!...

What is the lyrics in Japanese

[@elinagouva1418]

I have the feeling that the singer has also sang Candy Candy's theme...

[@tappyokamaniok210]

Actually, no. She -Ousugi Kumiko- sang a lot of other anime themes (some songs from Heidi, Marco, Doraemon). The singer from Candy Candy -Horie Mitsuko- also sang songs from Sandybell, Demetan, Lalabel, among others.

[@parfum9938]

Ousugi Kumiko / Heidi（ending）

[@hhn1291]

The Arabic version of the song is different from the Japanese version

[@PrivetSalut]

Russian version is the best! You should listen to the song: Pesnya Rusalochki from anime Andersen Dowa Ningyo Hime (in KZbin) Принцесса подводного царства - отрывок.avi (in KZbin) Good luck!

[@infinitegoodness233]

Yep! Thanks for sharing i lstened to it and it was sweet and nice and cute. Really loved it.

[@cosmicskepticfangirl1356]

Both this and the Russian were way better because they are faithful to the original and keep the very powerful moral

[@marcioroberto9820]

Russian is amazing indeed but the ending here definitely hits harder, at least for me, even makes me cry.
