I came back after 15 years later to find out who's the actual singer during my childhood. I shed my tears for the digimon ost and while searching for him I found out that he passed away, R. I. P. Wada Kouji. Thanks for making my childhood awesome!
Same here! The intro music of Digimon adventure is embedded on my brain and I just found out that the singer passed away on a young age due to cancer....may his soul rest in peace!
"I'll become a happy butterfly and fly on the glittering wind I'll come to see you soon" & the similar line after that takes on a whole different meaning post-kizuna. "I don't even know what my plans are for tomorrow" & "Yes, it seems our beloved feelings will become lost, but… Even with unreliable wings full of images that tend to stay I'm sure we can fly" too. Actually the whole song just feels so different after watching kizuna i cannot.
Nani ga wow wow wow woooooooww... I've been listening to this song for over 10 years now, and I still occasionally want to cry to it ;_____; Don't even get me started on the piano version.
Gratefully my childhood fulfilled by such a rightfull thing like this.. I feel compassionate, but then feels overpowered to face my adult reality after hear this song..
OMMGG, this runs shivers down my spine, soo much nostalgia sooo many feelings, even after all these years, I'm 27 now and I still absolutely love it. I want my kids to hear this someday, if I have any.
They made up their own theme songs for literally EVERY show back then haha. Pokemon, Sailormoon, Yugioh, Beyblade, Medabots, Cardcaptors, Hamtaro, Dragonball Z, etc.....this is why I didn't even know my favourite childhood shows were 'animes' for so long.
@@wizardwomon1181 Here in Spain we got a translated/adapted versión of Butterfly. Not really a literal translation, but the same tune with new lyrics. That way kids could understand the words and it still sounded pretty good.
@@andressigalat602 I heard! I have a latino friend and she hates the English dub songs with a passion cause she grew up with the Japanese songs, just translated. Growing up with the dub, I sometimes feel conflicted. For Digimon, Butterfly is way better than "Digimon, digital monsters, Digimon are the champions" repeated over a rap. But then there are English openings for some series like Cardcaptors and Pokemon that just get me so hyped, and the Japanese one sounds dull in comparison. The Beyblade's English soundtrack is so epic, and I personally really love Switchblade, Underdog, Never Gonna Take Me Down and so on, but I have yet to hear other Japanese songs from the series, so I can't make a fair comparison. I've noticed though that more recent anime don't get their openings dubbed so that's a win! Back then, I think Inuyasha was the only one on TV that had it's original opening.
@@wizardwomon1181 The version your friend got is probably not the same I got, as Latin America and Spain get different dubs, but the idea is the same. Worse than the changed songs, are the cuts and editions most animes suffered back then. I've not seen "Cardcaptors", but I'm told it was cut and edited so bad, it was a totally different series than "Cardcaptor Sakura".
I don't plan to have kids, but IF I ever did, Digimon will be on the top of the list. It has so many good lessons. Friendship, teamwork, leadership, kindness, courage, being a light, never giving up etc.
@@Telepi.Gyerek this and brave heart are absurdly emotional to me. digimon was always cheesy for being as emotional as possible, but damn do they a great job at it. i cried rewatching digimon this year so many times. first episode where all digimon put life on tle line in the first day, patamon becoming jesusmon and sacrificing himself to save everyone, taichi realising they can die while trying to save sora, joey being the hero who triggered yamatos friendship crest, soras crest shinng when she realises her mother loved her the way she loves pyomon, wizardmon sacrifice to save her best and only friend tailmon, and also, the message in butterfly and brave heart.
I tear up totally when I hear this song or braveheart... Kudos to the guy who mentioned some pivotal points in the anime where these songs were used.. For me, the most emotional will always be sora trying to protect piyomon (and realising that parents do that out of love) because i realized that the exact same thing happened in my life too :')

I know we wouldn't have understood this song when we were younger, but I wish Fox Kids kept this song. Or at least did an English version like with Sailor Moon and Speed Racer.
Hello! Different sites have different translations, they usually try to pick the best word for the context of that sentence. 'Gikochinai' is the word in question since it comes right before Tsubasa which means wings. Google translate says it can mean "awkward, clumsy, stiff, crude, unrefined, constrained". So I think I chose that translation as it stood more true. For the first and last chorus, the word in question is 'Tayorinai' which could mean "unreliable, undependable, flaky, vague, helpless". I chose unreliable, but could be fragile in that sense. I know for lyric translations, many sites copy from each other. I'm only intermediate in Japanese, so even I used some help from different sites, but used my knowledge and dictionaries to pick, what I thought, was the best translation that would still make the most sense to the reader :)
There's a sense of "same feel". Awkward wings can be fragile. Awkward wings are unreliable as you can't fly just yet until you figure out how to use them or gather strenght into them. So really, it doesn't change the meaning after all in any context. :)
@@Insanitypup weak wings wouldn't be able to fly at all in my opinion. Awkward implies it's possible, but they're just shaky and unstable. A butterfly's or bird's first flight will be awkward cause they're not use to flying, but their wings are strong enough to fly. A toddler's first steps are wobbly and shaky, they may fall a few times, but they can walk with practice. Make note that one chorus uses 'unreliable', and 'awkward' is similar, so they are used interchangeably. A plane with weak wings should not leave the ground, they wouldn't be able to fly at all, or if they did try, their wings may just break off and they'll crash. On the other hand, a plane with unreliable or awkward wings is capable of flying, but it's risky, they COULD crash........but the song is saying, even though these wings are like that, 'I'm sure we can fly safely with/on his love'. ^_^
I totally forgot about this series I watched it as a kid but when I grew up I forgot about it im now back into it where should I start any suggestions im open
For once in cartoon network toonami India they let the song stay orginal....no dub (song), no subbed(though that would have been handy) and kept names everything same only in Hindi but that little amount is understandable

@@anomalocaris2593 true, even in the german dub they kept the original songs; they changed the lyrics into german though
@@denisek.1777 In Finland we got original japanese, badly dubbed and finally well dubbed version
I'll never understand why the American version made up their own song when they had "Butterfly".

If, big IF, I ever have a kid, we're gonna watch Digimon and I'll teach this legendary song.

Jusy don't make them watch the last episode of digimon adventure tri 6 and digimon last evolution movie ... if you don't want them to cry like crazy
Who is listening to this piece of hope during quarentine?
"piece of hope"... nah.... this is "my life"....
I watched the whole series again during quarantine, today was the last episode of season 1

Why awkward wings? Other sites translate to "fragile".
There is a difference in Japanese? (no sarcasm, really wanna know)

Cannot go back that moment very much heard these song nearly want to cried😭😭😭😭😭
I’m crying. This song is so fucking good.
You know, they really missed out not adding this song in Digimon Cyber Sleuth Hacker's Memory, considering the team is called Hudie.
I played Cyber Sleuth and am in the middle of Hacker's Memory. For some reason I thought Hudie was a bumble bee haha
