Lyrics Sal fashesta li co nu fo sta fi si o Sho fa ne badi sha ne fe sta mi! Awaki sora no hazama hitohira no hana wa kobore Maitatsu kin no kaze ni hirari yurare Doko e mukau Mawaridasu toki no haguruma Karamiau omoi oikakete te o nobasu Orinasareru mirai to kako no kawaranu negai yo Donna kurushimi sae mo koete kanata e habatakeru Aoki hitomi no soko hitotsubu no shizuku kobore Sazameku gin no izumi yurari yurete Nani o utsusu Tachikirenu kanashimi no wa to Wasurerarenu tsumi no wadachi o ima tokihanatsu Kono te no naka ni nokoru chiisa na kibou no kakera yo Donna ayamachi sae mo yurushiaeru to shinjitai Dareka no tame ni inoru omoi ga mune ni nokoru nara Donna ayamachi sae mo yurushiaeru to shinjiteru Orinasareru mirai to kako no kawaranu negai yo Donna kurushimi sae mo koete kanata e habatakeru Ayanasu niji no hikari Ten ni sazukari shi tsubasa yo Omoi no subete sosogi Towa ni inori o sasageyou

Lovely

Actually Almateria uses technically just sounds. This is actually Ar Ciela, a language Shikata-san sings in, and had a hand in making for, the Ar Tonelico series, specifically Qoga. Since Shikata-san did not sing Almateria and since Ar Ciela was not yet invented at the time Almateria was written and recorded, it could not have been used. Apparently the two lines that are in Ar Ciela mean something to the effect of "The World is divided, crying out for freedom. The World is divided, crying out for the Mother Will." The Mother Will is probably referring to the Tree.

Beautiful song

beyond the prayer ;D

i love this song!

Akiko Shikata.. I love her songs. her voice is wonderful.

It's ending of anime TOS ?

is a beautifull song but i wan't know how do the chorus says

It means beyond prayer

the exact translation is "Beyond the Prayer" so you SF you were basically right

This and Song of Goddess: Eternal Path is my fav. They both have made up language lyric

I can't find the lyrics of the choir o.o i wanted it so much

Other side of a prayer :) kanata 彼方 means other side while 祈り inori means prayer

I see one person disliking lavender :(

since hearing akiko shikata's utsusemi and her other songs such as akakakushi, katakoi, umineko, etc, i've fallen in love with akiko shikata!!! (as a fan, i'm a girl :/)

I think it's latin because, the angels are originally from the Christianity religion. The Christianity Religion started with Latin speakers and the Bible was originally writed in Latin. That's what I guess.

Errr.....as far as i listened to this music i can insure you that the lyrics are in Japanese =P

Distant Prayer or Prayer in the Distance. :)

Dude its japanese i can understand some parts

Who else feels connected with nature when hearing Akiko Shikata? Her music is simply magical.

There's no sense in comparing apples and oranges.

I want to get some of her songs on my iTunes but I can't find her anywhere and makes me sad:.(

it's sad and beautiful song... it's THE beautiful song!!! ToT

This always makes me cry, thanks so much for posting it up

I want this video on my C1000 phone.

fuck shit like lady gaga , lili wayne,beyonce ive found my music style.

@Vicleouflyon it means beyond the prayer based on what i found out.

one person doesn't know good music

@SincereFidelity I just looked online, and it said the title was 'Beyond the Prayer.' Sounds kinda like what you said, and it's still a very pretty song. i love it. :)

Everything she's done is awesome excusing a few things. EP=NOVA and Concealed Blue spring to mind. This is great

@chibiYUE110 !lol guess were on the same path! (of conquering inventions that inflates the voices of screechy indian songs!

@caramelbeautyhorizon DEFINITELY!!! (Parents from India...always hated Bollywood :P)

HOW CAN YOU POSSIBLY DISLIKE AKIKO SHIKATA??!??!?!??!?!?

Thank you LastFM for helping me find this amazing musician!

OMG her voice alone is a new instrument!

@SincereFidelity I think its " Beyond Prayer " not too sure either :p But it fits

@Vicleouflyon Beyond the Prayer.

@midnightchaser113 Because anyone who's even a little familiar with Japanese can tell that it's not. At least at the beginning it's not.

Found her because of Ar Tonelico. What a great find. :D

@21stPrimarch I correct myself, horrible inaccuracy. Inori is the possessive. xD "Prayer's Distance." ""Beyond the Prayer is still what I normally see (I think no can be an prepositional indicator too?).

@SincereFidelity Because Kanata takes the possessive, "Distance" owns the Prayer, making "Prayer of Distance," or, to make it more sensible in English, "Beyond the Prayer." That's the title I normally see when I don't see Inori no Kanata.

so beautiful i swear its way better to listening to some high screechy indian songs ( sup? im from pakistan!)

her voice is soooo heavenly

What's the translation of the title ? I found the lyrics but I wasn't able to find a translation for the title. Beautiful song however !

@0Sunmoonstars0 its japanese

i love it

i love this song
