I like the way Rimi sings this song . . . but I also like this version, almost acapella . . . both soooooo beautiful and in their own style . . . and the Violin is simply beautiful too . . . thanks to Rimi and thanks to Hitomi . . . both beautiful.
i have this okinawa traditional istrumental music cd n i had this song in it but never heard the vocals, its so great to find this. i still cant believe it its so great . thanks for posting .
That is such a pretty performance of this song . . . beautiful. Such songs and performances are a Blessing from GOD. Thanks Hitomi! And that violin is sooooo beautiful too.
Wow! Finally! I'm totally agree with you! :) Even if Yaida doesn't have the voice to sing it, she's not trying to be better than Rimi, she's only covering the song because she likes it.
@hqmophhyhml Actually this song's lyrics were written and originally sung by the wonderfully talented Moriyama Ryoko. The tune was composed by the Okinawan group, Begin.
this song is nice, whoever covers it. ^_^ it's emotional value is unwavering and is still expressed no which way it's sung. I personally prefer Rimi's version over this one but its nice to say the least.
Are you saying this because you like the original better? I just realized that this is a cover song. But anyway, I know what you mean by "pretentious ppl buy into the stuff about anything that sounds diff is supposed to be good" and I totally agree with you on that on certain music that are unmelodic and are simply...different. (eg avant garde) however, songs composed by Hitomi Yaida are actually quite enjoyable yet original at the same time imho.
Exactly. When you cover a song, you need to add your own style to it to make it worth listening. If you just sang it like the original then everyone might as well just listen to the original.
I wish everyone would stop comparing this to Rimi's version and just accept this a different take on the song. I happen to like Yaida Hitomi a lot, and though I don't think her voice was made for songs like Nada Sousou, I still think she sounds perfectly fine. You're all boring people, and I bet you all dissed Macy Gray too initially.
I think what people mean is that she isnt off-key, (b/c she really isnt) but she uses tones that ruin this beautiful... in my humble opinion. I think Natsukawa Rimi did best on this song, along with Gackt...
Agreed, the snowboarding guy played it well. But this girl's stressing incorrectly and missing the emotional highs. As though she's trying to stop me from tearing. Definitely Rimi's version, but Begin's is pretty good for what it is, and certainly better than this.
i don't know who this singer is or who is rimi.but when i saw both of their mvs for this song,RiMi SO KiCK HiTOMi ASS!! no offense to anyone who is her fan but she can not sing this song.. ;P i think she should stick to toehr songs shes' more good at.

And that violin is sooooo beautiful too.
So beautiful ...
when I heard this song always remain me that movie nada sou sou, so sad T_T
thx 4 upload so nice song^^
Belíssima performance da Hitomi Yaida.
Amazing !!!!
当時はまだ彼女だった奥さんと一緒に見に行ったのを思い出します。森山直太朗繋がりで、この曲を歌ったような。今ではたまに子供と一緒にヤイコのライブに行ったりして、ヤイコの音楽は末長く僕に寄り添ってくれている音楽です。

me gusto esta cancion, tambien existen versiones..
it´s a really good song.
watched this 9 months ago and until today i've just realized that hitomi yaida is a great singer
WOW, just WOW!

いつ聴いても親しみの沸く声質。個人的にはヴァイオリンみたいだと思ってます。創作しつつ、カヴァーもドンドンして欲しい。ドリカムの曲(未来予想図など)が合いそう。ドリカムには無い可愛さを足したい。
Yeah, I like that she brings a different feel to it :) It sucks that everyone keeps expecting her to sing it Rimi-style.
I loved the violin in this (normally sanshin). Beautiful song.
for anyone who don't know, this song is originally sung by BEGIN, not Natsukawa Rimi
personally i think BEGIN's version is the best of all ="
no she did a cover of it, this song was made in 1998 rimi covered it in 2001 it was orginal song by Moriyama
this song is nice, whoever covers it. ^_^ it's emotional value is unwavering and is still expressed no which way it's sung. I personally prefer Rimi's version over this one but its nice to say the least.
Arigato! ^^
Nice! :)
矢井田ちゃん は すごく 好いですね。
大好き。
watched this movie already.. really sad T.T and nice story, overall.. didnt know it would be uploaded in youtube as well...
her voice is too sharp for this song...rimi is the best...

i dont even get why they compare it when rimi was also a cover
wow lol!!!!!!
you obviously don't know what off key means..
cuz hitomi yaida's always in tune...
dai sukiiii
Lol, I'm sooo stupid hahaha, I was confused with Shima Uta hahaha

Definitely Rimi's version, but Begin's is pretty good for what it is, and certainly better than this.
I think she should stick to J-pop. The Ryukyuan language (Dialect) is not easy though.

いつも思うんだけど、必ず手拍子する人っているよね。
全然場違いな曲目や場面だったとしても。
あれって凄い迷惑なんだけど。
stop it its maybe one of the worst version
i don`t like the way she sing. her voice is too loud. she destroy the original song.
