Okaerinasai sounds great

Thank You for the link

no problem.....

really warm.. the song.. i already want to know what it means...
a little in the chorus.. i guess it.. something about family i think

Yeah, the link to nicovideo was posted about 10 days ago, but wasn't there some debate on whether this version is real or not? It sounds like some parts are repeated and the track length looks questionable. Either way, it sounds like a really nice slow song from Maaya.

it look a version to me... but true there's one part that seem "cut and re-connected"
at least the verses and choruses r vary

nonetheless, one of the best melody line ive heard from maaya these last few years.. reminded me to OST baby and i.. heartwarming

edit: at 3:44 it does seem like repeating back to earlier part of the song.. well... just accept it for now :/

If that's the one from Niconico then it isn't the full song, the Japanese description says that they cut and pasted parts to what sounded like a full version for effect. It does repeat the same bits. Hopefully there will be a real full version soon.

It sounds nice repeated anyway ^^;;

fufu... i see now dilly.. but i'd say it's already 2/3 part of the full song at least... unless it has further highlights (a middle eight, long interlude) , which i'm expecting XD

and it already has two verses

first is:
natsu no nokori ame ni blabla
then.. hanso terasai fuku blabla

the second one:
hanso terasai fuku blabla

wait.. 0_o
same lyric... is the repeat mode start from 3:44 or even earlier.. that the 2nd verse is cropped from 2nd part of the 1st ??! -__

okay now.... just wait... have been repeating the song like 33 times from yesterday

i'm not sure if someone has mention the detail about LE of both okaerinasai and buddy... so here it is:

from CD Japan:

[quote="cd japan"]Intro theme of the TV anime series "Tamayura - Hitotose - " is sung by Maaya Sakamoto and created by Yumi Matsutoya. A cover of "A HAPPY NEW YEAR (Yumi Matsutoya)" is also included. This edition includes a bonus CD featuring her concert held at Tokyo International Forum on June 3 & 4, 2011 (Vol.2).

Intro theme of the TV anime series "Last Exile: Fam, the Silver Wing" is sung by Maaya Sakamoto. She collaborates with School Food Punishment. This edition includes a bonus CD featuring her concert held at Tokyo International Forum on June 3 & 4, 2011 (Vol.1).

so basically,.. the bonus of LE of okaerinasai and buddy contains her live record during her concert at Tokyo International Forum on June 3 & 4, 2011. And if you wanna get it full, you'll have to order both of them.. so, a steep Y 4400 for you.. *plus around Y 3000 for DITS* if you wanna get all the end of year gems from maaya-nee.. XD

and in case you don't know, a happy new year from maaya's okaerinasai c/w is a cover from Yuming's song *like yasashisa ni tsutsumareta nara*... so here's the original thing:

Okaerinasai is a pretty addictive song. The refrain part kept playing in my head today since I woke up. Even though I've listened to it one time, like, a week ago. Listened to it 10 times after that. It's quite unoriginal, but still a nice and soothing song.

Yeah, it's really nice. I've had the short version on repeat!

Yeah, we already discussed everything you posted back in August. Haven't you been reading this thread from the beginning?

I read the posts between you and dilly, but didn't find where the details about the 9 tracks for each cd was mentioned,.. *Yea, i remembered you mentioned something like 9 tracks or so..*
something like... what are or where does the 9 tracks come from?....
or has the detail came out at that time...? :S

anyway,.. just to stress the two-singles-package-to-get-a-complete-live-record thing

and it's indeed valuable in term of price.. i mean, i bet some of you guys already wanted to hear how eternal return, utsukushii hito or topia would sound at live...

After hearing Buddy, now I want to hear Maaya perform that live.
