The Best Of Kagrra,

[@nachannachle2706]

Wow, good compilation. I witnessed the birth of Kagrra back in the early 2000s and was immediately hooked on to Isshi's ethereal vocals and diva-like stage mannerisms. This band really brought something exceptionally unique to the landscape of Jrock and we were all able to see/hear it back then. As a non-Japanese, I guess I was lucky enough to make it to a Kagrra's concert/GIG in Japan in the summer of 2004, only to have Isshi-san throwing me surprised glances and big smiles throughout his performance (Haha, I guess you don't see many African-European gaijins in VK concerts everyday, lol!) I sort of moved away from VK/Jrock as I entered adulthood and didn't really realise Kagrra had disbanded and that Isshi had passed away (WTF?). However, I just started to listen to my CDs recently. I still absolutely love the delicate intensity of their songs. "Yume Izuru chi", "Kotodama", and the unforgettable "Haru Urara" are classics... I even surprised myself by remembering the lyrics! Thanks for the great upload! :)

I remember discovering this band on last.fm. And just now I bumped into last.fm and started thinking back what was that awesome band I discovered there. I'm glad I was able to retrieve the memory. I think I'll have a Kagrra weekend now.

한국사람이지만 카그라의 음악은 정말 좋았다. 보컬의 음색에 반해서 들은 카그라의 음악들은 너무나도 감미로웠다. 멜로디나 보컬이나.너무나도 좋은 조합..

[@Jenkittypaw]

When I listen to Kagrra now, my whole body feels weighed down with sadness. I remember saving up for Kagrra CDs and posters and magazines that had them on the cover. Isshi's voice is forever beautiful. Thank you for making this collection of their songs!

[@Phantomx129]

no problem jen, although im still trying to buy all their stuff, lol

[@thestsubacey]

Thanks for sharing! Kagrra is simply one of the most awesome VK band I've ever found over the years and still remains as one of my favorites. A part of me died when they disbanded and when Isshi passed over. Not having seen them perform live will always a deep regret!

[@Phantomx129]

Same here! I'm just glad they at least have live dvds haha

[@rin55]

Just sitting here at 3:44 am unable to stop crying or breathe. Your video just made all the memories and nostalgia hit me like a train. Thank you for making this T_T

[@usakoyori7258]

My favorite forever yume izuru chi... I miss them... Rip isshi...

[@MaliceinDix]

Still my favourite, i'm happy to see there are people who still love the band.You did a great job, thank you!

[@Phantomx129]

thanks! still would like to find someone who even knows about the band locally lol

[@leonardofernandes2141]

The best japanese band forever! ❤

[@letiziamarano3414]

It' so true dear Leonardo,forever in our hearts ❤️

[@fx3098]

i was introduced to kagrra by a friend when i was at university almost 6 years ago and they still sound amazing! thanks for sharing!

[@Phantomx129]

+Krish Siva your friend is awesome!

[@visumetvanitas]

thank you for doing this. it really brings back good memories of Kagrra. :)

[@Phantomx129]

you're welcome, I'm surprised I get such compliments even though this is before I downloaded all albums

[@xXCyzarXx]

Such an awesome group. Shizuku was the very first song of their's i heard. I was hooked ever since.

[@briinahkriid]

Thanks for the video! I'm so glad I saw them live five years ago, I'll never forget that day.

[@Phantomx129]

You're welcome! And im glad for you too!

[@necodocfox1286]

Oh God, I miss them.. :(

[@xeventidex]

neco DOCFOX oh i was about to say exactly the same when i saw your comment dear god i miss them so much it hurts. but at the same time i feel like that's the reason they have such a special place in my heart. a bittersweet feeling

[@SMUSSY]

Thank you so much for posting this up! I heard about Kagrra years ago, but didn't really dive into them much back then. Now that i'm back into VK/J-Rock, i guess i'm already too late.. I'll never get to see them live and hear Isshi-san's comforting voice again. :'( However I think we're lucky they release Live Dvds, so we just have to work with that then :)

[@Phantomx129]

S. MUSSY yep, better than nothing lol

[@JohnsonChang張展嘉]

just remind me of my early years...shaking my head with the beautiful melody

[@ayuhana16]

Thank you for your great work 😍. It's been 5 years now and I miss them so much, I miss the beautiful voice of Isshi... (T^T) also when I heard their songs I want to cry so badly...

[@Phantomx129]

ikr, time flies 🤔well im glad i put in the effort to do it

[@TheIsPurple]

I loved them when I was in elementary school. 😢😢😢

[@Phantomx129]

Thanks again Yuuka. That last name is cool since its the same as Isshi. I also love the one where he sings and plays guitar, but the one after where he plays drums, I can't find it anywhere. I didn't find out about Kagrra, until a year ago in July but I was addicted on the first night. I wish he could come back for one more concert for me!

[@kirakirayuuka]

Hi, thanks for replying. =) I got myself this Japanese name because I wanna remember Isshi forever. Oh yeah the part where he plays the drums is really unique! Isshi is such a talented man! How I hope that he can continue to make more beautiful music for us. (T_T) Btw I'm glad that u discover Kagrra,! And I really appreciate your Kagrra, uploads. =)

[@megatfawwaz6682]

thanks phantom...i starting to love this band.. greeting from malaysia..:D

[@Phantomx129]

thanks, im uploading their music currently and ill think youll enjoy

[@kirakirayuuka]

This is a great video~~ The best part I like is where Isshi is playing the guitar and singing. I miss him. T_T

[@LyluTheWhiteRaven]

Very well done. One of my favorite Japanese bands. How I miss them T_T RIP Isshi!!! ♥♥♥

[@Phantomx129]

thanks! though after discovering many more songs id like to add to the vid lol

[@LyluTheWhiteRaven]

That'll be great if you do :) looking forward to it!!! ^_^V

[@xeventidex]

kagrra, and isshi i will never forget you and miss you forever

[@ayaminemashiro797]

I really like Utakata from them Its my 1st song I heard from them... thanks for sharing this! XD

[@Phantomx129]

no problem!

[@itasuke8764]

very nostalgic,, hummmmm :)

[@DaianaGutierrezVillca]

boas escolhas , realmente nostalgico para mim :3

[@DaianaGutierrezVillca]

lol vamos em frenteeeeeeee

[@jgwski]

sei que tô bem random, quase 1 ano depois de você comentar, mas amo a banda tbm

[@anajuliawelterteixeira227]

@@jgwski oi, 5 anos depois aqui kkkk Kagrra é realmente uma banda incrível e insubstituível

[@Akaiineko]

Well... I've cried with whole of my heart ;__;. It's can be soooo stupid say like that. But... I was happy and so sad at same time... I miss them so badly x'(. Btw thank you *v*

[@kirakirayuuka]

yeah I feel the same too! It's just sad that most people are more into the mainstream pop, in which I don't find that as appealing as Jrock and traditional Japanese music once u listened to Kagrra,. They are certainly the best Jrock band and the one I love the most!! Oh great, I'll look forward to ur uploads! Shigatsu Tsuitachi don't have a pv yeah. Wonder what video that you've got. Once again, thanks so much!

[@jersicabezerra]

essa voz nunca será esquecida =\

[@xeventidex]

Jersica Bezerra nunca nunca nunca :'(

[@leandrochagas943]

Tanto a voz como as melodias... É massa de mais eterno!

[@OkitaSoujiWilliams]

Good job, love kagrra :)

[@Phantomx129]

Thanks! me too :)

[@Phantomx129]

just found out, the one where he plays the drums is kiseki from greeen

[@Phantomx129]

i have them all in my playlist, I like mourou and sakurasou so you migtht wanna check it out. the 3 solos are in kagrras dvds, I can upload them

[@marupengod]

About 6 years now since i first heard Kagrra, been into them since, i got a guitar cover of Utakata on my channel by me :)

[@Phantomx129]

Michael Chavez oh yeah! i remember seeing it probably a year ago. nice job!

[@blabityblabblab2]

i love this :D i miss isshi so much. i still cry when i listen to their music. is there any chance you could send me all the stuff you have for kagrra? the hard drive that i had all my videos & stuff on crashed last year. :/ every download link i try to get kagrra's music & videos from ends up dead. if you don't want to, i understand. it's time consuming & you don't know me or owe me anything. if you could point me in the right direction, i'd appreciate it very much. :) sorry for being so blunt & just asking for something.. :/ i do feel bad about it, but... my love for kagrra outweighs my manners. lol hope you'll understand. :) and thanks for reading. :)

[@Phantomx129]

of course :) one way is to go to miyako kagrra fan TR's website and get stuff from there, or you can use keepvid and download my vids. I don't know how to send to you (don't know if email can send all that lol) hopefully you get everything you need

[@kirakirayuuka]

Omg thanks for telling me the title! I just went to hear it, the full song is really great!! I didn't know it's already on KZbin. How many songs r there for his shiki project? :)

[@Phantomx129]

me neither lol, its ribetsu~miyabi na sora no shita de of shiki project, its the first song in my shiki project playlist if you want to check it out, id also recommend Toki which is the song right after ribetsu

[@Phantomx129]

:) it was an honor making this video. im making a second which are all lives since this one was mostly pvs and extras. the editing on the next will be much better I hope, but it will take me a while to finish since I have many clips to cut

[@Phantomx129]

Thanks! I plan to next upload making of Irodori No Sanka PV and Shigatsu Tsuitachi PV, although I think they never released Shigatsu Tsuitachi PV but I can't understand Japanese. I wish more people fnd out about Kagrra, because if they don't, they're missing out on literally the best band in my opinion.

[@Akaiineko]

*___* I see! Then I'll wait for watch it OoO. You've made an aweome work with this one, the second would be more great i'm pretty sure :)

[@chenico0908]

I liked kagrra, does anyone know of another band that makes music like them? I really love the japanese instrumental sounds ya know

[@Phantomx129]

as far as I know just 20 unless I missed some, plus the 3 solos (sara, miyako, and usanmusyo) ;)

[@kirakirayuuka]

Sorry for the late reply! Thanks for finding it out! I didn't know Kagrra, will do cover songs in their concerts. haha. Oh btw for the Isshi solo where he plays the guitar, do u know what song is that? Is it his original song?

[@baileybrandon]

what part of the video? i didnt notice it while watching. :)

[@Phantomx129]

I wonder if they covered queen songs since that's what isshi liked so much lol

[@kirakirayuuka]

Oh 20? That means I missed out some songs like the 3 ones u mentioned. I thought there's only 17 in total from his single and album.

[@Phantomx129]

OMG 20! lol I can't get it right. one cd has 2 versions and most of the songs are the same so I have all the songs

[@Phantomx129]

I just checked and theres 29, I wonder if setsuna was intentionally supposed to be vocal-less but maybe someone just make up some lyrics

[@usakoyori7258]

19:15 ❤️❤️❤️😭😭😭

[@Phantomx129]

Usakoyori omg i love ribetsu! i only wish they had recorded an acoustic version as well

[@omeletteduformage]

what the song name at 19:30? pls

[@Phantomx129]

Ribetsu~Miyabi Na Sora No Shita De~. For a future reference I put all song names in the beginning of each vid.

[@omeletteduformage]

Thanks, I'm sorry, I wasnt watching the video just listening. XD

[@Phantomx129]

its fine, im glad to help though :D

[@baileybrandon]

thank you!

[@Magnai789456]

49:54 what song is starting? :D

[@Phantomx129]

The piano version of Sakura Maichiru Ano Oka De, I think its called Bonus Track on the Ouka Ranman Album

[@Magnai789456]

***** thank you very much! Sorry for my bad english.

[@Phantomx129]

It's no problem! You're welcome!

[@adrianjimenez6388]

Very good mix.

[@japopoxd9448]

19:55 music name?

[@Phantomx129]

+Henrique Minamihara Kiseki by GreeeeN

[@japopoxd9448]

really????? I knew I had heard this music ^0^

[@Phantomx129]

+Henrique Minamihara oh, haha! I hadn't so it took me forever to find it

[@japopoxd9448]

very cool.. does it have more covers?

[@Phantomx129]

+Henrique Minamihara a lot of covers actually. my favorite is done by the Japanese Army Band

[@Phantomx129]

I don't know why people listen to lil wayne and nicki minaj. As for Japanese artists, I couldn't get into anyone else. The only other band I like is Def Leppard and its just a couple songs like animal and hysteria. Ill upload them tomorrow as its my last day before school and thanks again!

[@Magnai789456]

what is the first song name?

[@Phantomx129]

Kasunda Fuyu No Mukou Ni, should be on there

[@Magnai789456]

***** Thank you. But i cant find it on youtube.

[@Phantomx129]

it probably isn't, would you like me to upload?

[@Phantomx129]

Магнайбаяр Ганзориг It's up on my channel if you ever get the chance

[@Phantomx129]
