This being one of my favorite songs of all time I was very happy with the results produced this time around. The next song I do with this probably won't be Hirasawa so keep your eyes peeled for that, should be good.

Susumu Hirasawa is criminally underrated in the western world

[@Luckingsworth]

Nobody underrrates him. And if you meant unkown, that would still be wrong. For a Japanese artist he is very well known in the west. The fact that we are both commenting on this video is already proof. Thousands of artists in Japan that nobody in the west have ever heard of.

Very cool

[@Alex-pq4vp]

Saved it for my Berserk Playlist, fits perfectly with most of Elfhelm arc. I also plan on using it into my DnD campaign since it sounds so mistically and magically

been trying to figure out what the choir is singing exactly at the end for ages, maybe my brain just doesn't work. :/

[@Luckingsworth]

Its "____ Bandiria"
My ears have always interpreted it as either "sora" (sky or heavens) or "sailor". Both seem fitting enough in the context. Either way Bandiria itself is a mostly made up word anyway so I dont think the choir carries a lot of real "meaning". Evident as some later versions cut the choir entirely for an instrumental version instead.
