The effort that went into making this animation and syncing it to the music is staggering to think about. There's so much STUFF in the world these days so it's crazy that this could be looked over for something much lazier. This is so inspired.
I transcribed and translated the lyrics for a Japanese project at school. To anyone interested, enjoy: 煮詰(につ)まる声のもとが 喉もと過ぎる前に Before the origin of the boiled down voice gets past the throat そこまで見えた物を 吐き出す You spit out the things you have been able to see up until now 異(こと)なる声のもとが 喉もとまで届く The source of the different voice reaches the throat そこまで見えた物が 消されてしまう前に Before the things you have been able to see up to now become erased 形を 留(とど)めて、変えずに The shape stays, without changing その道で 待ってる、待ってる Waiting, waiting on this road 異(こと)なる声のもとが 喉もと過ぎる前に Before the source of the different voices gets past the throat そこから動けないと 油を注(さ)す前 Pour some oil before if you can’t move from here 気だるい記憶まで 消されてしまう前に Before the languid memories become erased 形を 留(とど)めて、変えずに The shape stays, without changing その道で 待ってる、待ってる Waiting, waiting on this road

I discovered this song thru discovering 'Girls' the show. OMg..i love it. its so beautiful and the video..wow. this is now my current go-to 'Happy' song. I instantly just feel so warm, positive and smiley listening to it. Proof that even if you dont speak the language, a good song is a good is a good song and the power of music and love of it knows no bounds. Absolutely beautiful xx
man, I remember a while back Vsauce mentioned something about this video in one of his, and I watched it and was blown away. it's only by sheer luck I was able to find it so much later on. This video is an integral inspiration to me
Mi maestra de arte en la preparatoria nos puso este video, nos estaba explicando diferentes tipos de arte, me enamore completamente del video y la cancion! WOW que recuerdos, vean su lista de ver mas tarde se pueden encontrar sorpresas hahahaha.
I had a hunch the video would be good just from the thumbnail, glad to see it's not wasted on some shitty song. Now I'm gonna go and share it with my friends

煮詰(につ)まる声のもとが
喉もと過ぎる前に
Before the origin of the boiled down voice gets past the throat
そこまで見えた物を
吐き出す
You spit out the things you have been able to see up until now
異(こと)なる声のもとが
喉もとまで届く
The source of the different voice reaches the throat
そこまで見えた物が
消されてしまう前に
Before the things you have been able to see up to now become erased
形を
留(とど)めて、変えずに
The shape stays, without changing
その道で
待ってる、待ってる
Waiting, waiting on this road
異(こと)なる声のもとが
喉もと過ぎる前に
Before the source of the different voices gets past the throat
そこから動けないと
油を注(さ)す前
Pour some oil before if you can’t move from here
気だるい記憶まで
消されてしまう前に
Before the languid memories become erased
形を
留(とど)めて、変えずに
The shape stays, without changing
その道で
待ってる、待ってる
Waiting, waiting on this road
Thank you... the lyrics remind me of a darker version of a Yes or Jon Anderson album.

ラジオでたまたま聞いて、めちゃくちゃ衝撃を受けた。心がビリビリする。
I can't trust a person who doesn't like this song, it's so beautiful! 😙
It kind of reminds me of a Japanese take on Yes or Jon Anderson.
So true
Me, either.
This is one of the most amazing videos that I have ever seen. This deserves so many more views!
Totally!!
Makes me cry from the sheer beauty of life every. single. time.
Same here! This whole piece is brilliant

They should've made a behind the scenes vid

Yes, but still I Love This.
INSANE! I love it :)
+How To Make Sushi Japanese fever is real...
love how they captured the dimension of time. wish they would have pulled back to see the entire timeline at the end.
Shugo, you are one of the greats!
Greetings from Croatia!
Koe No Katachi (The Shape of Voice ) seems like a perfect title for this song!
Not even joking, this is one of the coolest things I've ever seen in my entire life. Incredible!
8 years ago 😭, I remember watching this at Vimeo, what a great memories
God this video is hypnotizing! I can't stop watching this video
i love that music reaches across language barriers ^_^
man, I remember a while back Vsauce mentioned something about this video in one of his, and I watched it and was blown away. it's only by sheer luck I was able to find it so much later on. This video is an integral inspiration to me
Do you remember which Vsauce video it was mentioned on?
Great song and awesome clip. Applauses from Brazil.
Still love this video after all these years.
Tears in my eyes, bravo!
Japanese artistry is incredible. Painstaking attention to detail. Amazing vid.
This guy inspire me pretty much. Este tipo me inspira demasiado. Saludos desde Chile.
I remember seeing it at Anim'est this year, it was back in October, I'm happy it's on YT too. :D
Mi maestra de arte en la preparatoria nos puso este video, nos estaba explicando diferentes tipos de arte, me enamore completamente del video y la cancion! WOW que recuerdos, vean su lista de ver mas tarde se pueden encontrar sorpresas hahahaha.
One of my favourite songs to sing along to. And just one of my favourite songs.
その道で待ってる、待ってる
Lovely track and visual beautiful creation👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Quite lovely! The art direction is fantastic- well done, Kijek/Adamski!
This music video is just fantastic. Props to the makers! The song is nice too :)
That moment when you don't understand a word of a song yet you still like it #OurLogic
One of the most incredible music videos i've ever seen
This was played in an animation lecture I had at university last year, After it was done I yelled "WOW!" in the lecture hall. I never do that.
This is the most beautiful song in the world
This is my ultimate happy song. I have no idea what it is about but goddamn... happy...
This is amazing! :D I would say the best stop motion animation I've seen in a while and Loved the music ~
Both the song and the art are amazing!
What a wonderful video
I there was a little big planet 4 I think this song should be in it. 🥰
this... is AMAZING!!!!! I love it.
This video always makes me smile
and sixty years later, DONE!!!!
Wow, this clip is amazing!
Mesmerizing.
+sunshineyon

This must've taken FOREVER!
This needs more views.
This is soooo amazing! I guess you've been doing this for hours.
It's amazingg brooo
I was here to watch the second OP of Made in Abyss, Katachi...
I'm not disappointed 🤩
Same
Same here too
Special award for the best use of Smurf voice in a song.
Bluey's opening theme reminds me of this
HOLYSHIT THIS IS AWESOME!
Increibleeee
9gag brought me here years ago.
I have no idea what the song is about but I can tell it is something beautiful.
Beautiful.
Okay. People need to talk about this !
this would be perfect for an anime intro song :3
such calm, much happy, wow harmony, sooo rythm
Árpád Lackó Maybe an anime like Tatami Galaxy
No words to comment.
Absolutely amazinly, fantastic!!!
I could totally see Brian Wilson covering this if he wanted to. It's so Beach Boys-esque in harmony and chord structure.
Still one of my favorite songs of all time.
great stop motion!!!!
a super simple video, but at the same time exelent !!!
Nicely done, I'm guessing laser cut matt board or even high-density fibre-board given the precision and number of the shapes.
Great song as well!
Magical
Awesome video and tune
che bello!
This song is an experience.
Muy Buena!
I love this song and heard it nonstop back in 2013! Does anyone know why this is trending all of a sudden?
Bad Wilf whats the name of the flute they are using to make this song?
amazing.
amzing clip
Awesome song. Awesomw video. Awesome!
Nice. I can definitely hear a Beatles influence to the music, and the video is very interesting.
Amazing!
I had a hunch the video would be good just from the thumbnail, glad to see it's not wasted on some shitty song. Now I'm gonna go and share it with my friends
Godly video
This is amazing
I have no idea what he's saying, but it sounds good!
Wow that was fantastic
Whenever I watch this, I cry every. fucking. time.
