[@なつ-w4s]

久しぶりに聴きに来た。志方あきこさんの声、頭から離れないんだよな

[@妹尾起毛]

夏のあっっっっっつい日差しに当たってるとなぜか聴きに来たくなる でも冬にも聴いちゃう…

[@02092327]

ひび割れた大地に　赤い砂礫(されき)が舞う 不似合いな程の　青空が綺麗 私は高らかに唄を　歌って 雨の訪れを　待ち続ける 井戸はカラカラで　小石しか出ない 私が生まれた日に　植えた椰子(やし)も枯れ 天窓の花も　もうすぐ萎(しお)れそう 私の涙では　水が足りない 太陽よ　アポロンの灯(ひ)よ あなたの接吻(くちづけ)はいらない 風雲(かぜくも)よ雨を連れて 手のひらへ降り注げ 太陽よ　アポロンの灯よ 日暮れ前に消え去れ 風雲(かぜくも)よ雨を連れて この体へ注げ 乾いだ唇　砂の味がした 焼けつく咽(のど)の痛みにはもう慣れた 何度も唄って　何度でも祈ろう 何度も絶望に苛(さいな)まれたとしても 「あの泉は枯れた　もうずいぶん前に」 「だがワインだったら　まだ十二分さ」 酒場の男らは　濁った目をして 天(てん)の川の下で　バッカスと踊る 人々の心は　いまにも萎れそう 私の唄だけでは　力が足りない？ 星月よ　デネブの灯よ あなたの抱擁(ほうよう)はいらない いかづちよ雨と共に 手のひらへ降り注げ 星月よ　デネブの灯よ 夜明け前に消え去れ いかづちよ雨と共に この体へと注げ

The fact that this song was recommended to us 13 years later after it got uploaded...

[@サンデー-v2g]

本当志方あきこさんは声のバラエティーに富んでいて素晴らしいな...

[@田中太郎-o7b3k]

全く忘れてたけど、またまたここまで流れ着いて聞いたら、昔よく聞いてた曲で鳥肌がすごい

[@小西義将]

とても綺麗な雨乞いの歌だ。 乾いた大地の様を、同じく乾いた人々の心をこれでもかと言うほどに表現した、神に懇願する詩。 そしてそれは人々の心にも響く唄

[@Mmouse-ck8fr]

リズムがなんか好きでついつい聞いちゃう…

[@umauni710]

なぜかまた聴きたくなる不思議な歌です。

[@iazayoitokino]

志方あきこさんの曲はどれも良いけど、今は無き曲達が好きだったりする。 小さいホームページの時から好きだから、大分長いな。私も

[@ゆるりぼん]

なんか民族的な感じがする？こういう感じの歌好き！

[@cupka3268]

Red sand dances on the cracked earth The blue sky is unsuitable, but really beautiful I sing a song in a loud voice waiting for the arrival of rain for ever and ever The well is dried up, and it gives only stones The palm tree planted on the day I was born has withered The flowers decorating window is going to die My tears are not enough to moisten them Oh sun! Apollon's light! We don't need your kiss! Oh winds and clouds! Bring the rain! Pour water onto the palms of my hands! Oh sun! Apollon's light! Get away before dark! Oh winds and clouds! Bring the rain! Pour water onto this body! The dried lips tasted like sand I got used to the scorching pain of throat I'll sing and pray again and again Even if I feel hopeless again and again "That spring has already dried up long ago" "But wine is more than enough!" Dirty eyed drunkens are dancing with Bacchus beneath the Milky Way People's hearts are going to wither Is my song not enough to encourage them? Oh stars and moon! Deneb's light! We don't need your hug! Oh thunder! Come with rain! Pour water onto the palms of my hands! Oh stars and moon! Deneb's light! Get away before the dawn! Oh thunder! Come with rain! Pour water onto this body!

[@semosemo9801]

Thank you

[@solomon1107]

It's a blessing to be recommended this song.

[@barisakbay]

it's like hearing blackmore's night with a definitely Japanese feel brilliant and I am happy to hear this artist for the first time

[@Cahir176]

Ha! It's awesome to meet another Blackmore's Night fan here. ^^ Anyway it's awesome, even if I don't understand a thing, lol. :3

[@dicorockhimself]

now that you mention it they sound very similar lol

[@HoangNguyen-id9os]

I was "only" hope I can empathize with all these tunes :lol

[@sorestedhebytheTumtumtree]

Yeah it has that 'feel' into it.

[@flowersandragons]

I gotta thank you for introducing me to such an amazing artist, never heard of Blackmore's night before, but just listened to Ghost of a Rose after seeing your comment, and I'm IN LOVE

[@F-22ラプター-v3w]

懐かしいの見つけた！志方さんはアルトネリコ初代で好きになりましたね☆これは定期的に聴かないと♪

[@ppddppdd-x8h]

12年前になるのか…昔好きだった曲を久々に聞くとめっちゃ感慨深いんだけどわかる人いる？

[@ta.5071]

わかる急にききたくなる

[@yuday34]

すごくわかります、もう12年も前なのですね…… 親のパソコンをこっそり使って聞いていました

No

[@elimcfrainhan3351]

It reads like a vesper, or a prayer, for rain.

一番好きな歌だし歌詞も結構覚えたしボーッとしてると頭の中でこの歌流れてくるw この画像の全部が好き

もしこの物語の続きが気になるのなら「祈りの果てのひとふり」をどうぞ

[@nishimotoshogo4519]

Dziekuje bardzo panu!

[@eval1n]

What a beautiful song and at the same time something sad because it is a song begging for rain, these days of extreme heat and drought...it is sorely needed, agriculture is bankrupt due to lack of rain where I live (Spain, In southern Europe it is usually crazy temperatures...) So I'm going to enjoy the song and sing it for the rain!

[@Cococrash11]

Awesome Shikata Akiko Haresugita Sora no Shitade Video.

[@BunnyMoxxy]

I don't usually listen to Japanese artists like Shikata Akiko but dang her songs are like agh!

[@Soren59]

If you like Shikata Akiko you may also like KOKIA, she has a similar style of music.

@@Soren59 KOKIA is A-Kiko but we put the a at the end.

the best music I've listened to!

[@SariaSchala]

First place I ever heard this song. Fell in love. Now I proudly own the album

[@甘菓子アリス]

声質とても好きです。

[@Nicolas-mw4mx]

Cette femme chante vraiment bien, je l'ai découvert en jouant au jeu ar tonelico sur ps2. Je trouve que sont œuvre est particulièrement impressionnante. Je suis pas fan de chanson japonaise, mais je dois avouer que elle est vraiment une belle exception. Merci Madame pour votre œuvre !

[@elisec.2494]

Je trouve aussi :) si t'as le temps, regarde donc aussi les chansons de Kokia, je trouve que ça ce ressemble un peu et certaines sont vraiment superbes.

[@Nicolas-mw4mx]

Lison B. Effectivement kokia chante très bien je connais aussi. Elle fait partie des 3 chanteuse japonaise que je peux écouter. La 3ème étant Miyuki Nakajima ( 中島みゆき ) Auteur compositeur interprète qui a sortie sont premier album en 1975 et qui continu d'en sortir aujourd'hui malgré toute la J-pop idiote. Écoutes et dit moi des nouvelles

[@神竜リーナ]

綺麗な歌✨

Reminds me of Record of Lodoss War, and Lodoss TV in particular. Glad to have found Shikata's work.

haha that was the first i thought too when i heard this :D

[@abrubritos7117]

It is the best song I have heard all the time, I love it!

[@rigelothello709]

If you like this song, you should check a lot of Akiko Shikata's song. She's a great singer and songwriter. Pantalea, Ta Ga Tame no Sekai, Chronicle Key... try to check those songs (Sorry, for now I just remember those... But believe me, she has a lot more than that).

[@733DVH]

I never get tired of listening this songs...

[@yourlifeu3155]

It's lovely isn't it?

[@Soren59]

I strongly recommend listening to more of Akiko Shikata's music if you haven't already. This is only one out of many great ones!

[@YggdrasiI]

"Haresugita Sora no Shitade", it means something like "Under the clear sky".

A beautiful song pleading for rain.

[@RainingFlow19]

Idk youtube been recommending these type of song and I just love it. Reminded of old PS1 and PS2 jrpgs

[@sometimesyoureallyreallydie]

I don't know if you know, but Akiko Shikata sang quite a few songs for a PS2 JRPG series called Ar Tonelico. That's how I found her, and I've been listening ever since. Check out songs like Ar Ciel - Ar Dor, Exec Phantasmagoria, or Salavec Rhaplanca!

[@clairenime]

thanks recommended, a little late but eh, 13 years aint that bad

[@BraUnY74]

Song references Greek gods and apparantely dedicated to Classical Greece more.

[@Niyucuatro]

@@BraUnY74 Renaissance Europe?

[@BraUnY74]

@@Niyucuatro It sounds more like a prayer for rain in a drought, than Renessaince-style dedication to such believes. Also, Ancient Greece music kinda sounded a bit like Celtic Folk too.

I was having a bad day until I heard this song. I honestly did not see that coming.

[@Dream-kg8yf]

멜로디가 좋아서 그냥 들었는데 알고보니 절박하게 비가 내리기를 기원하는 노래였네 가사를 모르면 흥이 나는 이국적인 노래지만 사실 생존이 달려있는,절박함 속의 외침이었다

[@BonsaiTuanNguyenofficial]

Hello chào bạn chúc sức khỏe cảm ơn bạn đã chia xẻ video này ...ok.

[@doctorksk]

my favourite song through out akiko's production

[@erusudesu]

心に響く

[@Inksmudger]

Something along those lines..."Under the far too sunny sky..." I'm not a translator, and I'm not fluent, but as far as I can tell the song is about singing for rain in a drought. I'm fairly certain that the picture was actually made specifically with this song in mind. I could do a rough translation, if anyone's THAT curious.

[@bamberwow]

love it!

[@HimeChan17]

wow, her songs are so beautiful! I love the medevial sound to them O_~

[@Thenrah]

I like this music. It makes me think of some ancient far-away land.

[@eraea9179]

KZbin Checkpoint, pass right through after listening.

[@ladycordelia17]

Sounds perfectly at home as battle music in a sword-and-sorcery fantasy setting. In fact, that was where I first heard this song: on an instructional video for my favorite MMO game, Perfect World International. Specifically, the video was for the dungeon Flowsilver Palace in its extra-challenging Judgment Mode, and this track plays when the creator-player's party is fighting the dungeon's bonus-boss: Belle Leun, the Mad Princess. Imagine fighting wave after wave of summoned minions as you're spamming your AoE, doing your damnedest to knock the Mad Princess off her pedestal, and then, what's this? Looks like the Tyrant Prince, whom you thought you'd just vanquished, has gained his villainous second wind! You'll have to be brave and nimble to triumph over the deadly decadent court...

[@MaitreKorda]

Thanks KZbin recommendations.

[@mimicory]
