A love song about 2 serial killers is hardly hard to identify... Also the title translates directly into English as "Ballad of Death" or Death's Ballad".
Everybody saying that Sparkles* insulted Sprinkles* with the bigger then planet earth comment are all wrong. Think of it as improtance. It's actually a HUGE compliment.
I think we should give Beckii some credit here aswel guys! we're all yelling ''GG Area 11 go Sparkles* '' etc, but theres more than one star in this video, we should try to focus on the smaller details that makes these big things big, just like small youtube channels, give people that deserve recognition some of it! :D
DaRtBoReDoM nah i wasn't saying that it was a small channel, more trying to say that there's small channels out there that deserve real credit, for example: Olizandri
Then you just need to keep trying, be there for her when she is upset, be the best friend you can be, because there is no such thing as love at first sight, the bond is strengthened by shared experiences, and the affection grows over time.
Wait.... "You can use me", "you can kill me if you want", "I see your name through burning eyes", "when my memories fade", "I'll write your name in my book".... This is about Death Note....
when i first saw the name all the lights in the sky i thought it was an amazing song, i was so wrong, cus it was an amazing album instead which made me 10x happier
same thoughts here, when I first heard about the band was from the yogscast, from the ending theme of their videos, it was then when I asked myself "who makes this amazing music?" now I'm buying their album because I like their music, and thinking about it, how would I know such a great band existed if I hadn't watch those videos
The friend zone is what people who give up call their giving up in an attempt to make it better, you have given up, the friend zone is only in the minds of those who give up, it does not actually exist, so either wallow in self pity or get back on the horse and try again.
everybody starts off small, its really only until they get noticed by bigger people when more people find out about them, so really good going for them lets hope they continue this great work and inspire countless more. Right back to listening now :3
Also: A promise written on a tv screen, remember when misa broadcasts her message to the world under the name of kira, while later declaring to wanting to follow him later on.
You guys should really do some more gigs or, even better, go on tour. I really want to see you guys perform live and it would make my inner fangirl die of happiness!
Well, the song is a reference to the anime Death Note, which I highly recommend watching, as it helps understand this song. It's very complicated to explain, especially without giving spoilers to it, but watching it definetly helps with understanding the song.
When I first listened to this song I had a hunch that it was about Death Note from Misa's point of view and as I've read/watched the anime the lyrics match up and people confirm it. Hooray, the first song that I have actually recognised the anime it's based on
for all those people talking about Barado being ballad its kind of obvious if you think about it. as everyone knows, Japanese pronounce their Rs and Ls very similarly. The difference being R is pronounced RL and L (oh yeah reference) is pronounced LR, but in both situations you hear the last letter best. Then Japanese tend to end words with vowels so basically the just said ballad in engrish, which would be more accurately be Balrado.
"A promise written on a TV screen" "My eyes will be your weapons" "Together we can burn this to the ground. Rebuild it into something right." "I write your name down in my heart." And then you realise this song is based on Death Note. *Mind=blown*
I cant keep the songs out of my head I havent stopped singing them in my head and listening to them 24/7. this is the most listened to artist and even band that I like to listen to. Love these guys but my friends dont but I still keep them as friends because they like video game. btw I am a male.
I had this song downloaded on my PC. I uploaded it to Google play so I could listen to it on my phone. I'm not sure when it happened, but at some point in the last couple of years it got replaced by the Japanese version. Really weird.
It said that Area 11 are the greatest band ever and that they deserve way more views than PSY or 1D. Everyone thinks that they deserve more publicity, mebbe be on the radio or somethin'
"You are bigger than the planet Earth,"
So you could say she's a Big Girl? xxxxD
Just go just now
and she's eaten too much and her pants don't fit around her waist.
Andrew Burnham wow reference to sips your a big girl lol
I know this is a bit late, but Spark is singing as of perspective of the girl...
Colin Monsma they did TOTALLY not intend that! >.
I take the replay button... AND PUSH IT!
My hat goes off to the fine lad that first found out this was about death note

I heard it on the day of upload and thought it might be related to death note :-)
This song played at the end of Bravoman
FEELS ;A;
That show came out at just right time in my life
Go Team Bravo!
" I saw your face in the light emitting diodes " didn't flow quite as well. Love the song
Everyone talking about death note in the comments while I'm thinking
I miss Bravoman
its actually because the way that misa first gets into contact with light is that she sends a message to the tv stations pretending to be light
I love Sparkles* and Beckii together!
You both sing very well!
Thank you for making this song!
I do to!!! Finally someone agrees with me! I Love the ending.
Yeah they are brilliant!
Carol Stebbins I concur with you! the ending was so beautiful! *sniff* I loved it.

i swear beckii has something like 70,000 subs? i agree with your point but i wouldn't say thats a small channel haha
DaRtBoReDoM
nah i wasn't saying that it was a small channel, more trying to say that there's small channels out there that deserve real credit, for example: Olizandri
well said!!
Jur Bergs Dont forget KotoandSen
Junkzx i was more using sparkles* For an example :D then aswell ofcourse ;)
basically misa basically pledged her whole being for light and this song is about that,about her undying love for light....
This song just makes me miss Bravoman even more... ;_;
ZeroTaku :(
Then you just need to keep trying, be there for her when she is upset, be the best friend you can be, because there is no such thing as love at first sight, the bond is strengthened by shared experiences, and the affection grows over time.
Wait.... "You can use me", "you can kill me if you want", "I see your name through burning eyes", "when my memories fade", "I'll write your name in my book".... This is about Death Note....
For those who have no idea :)
***** Chill, k? haha
Nah, no prob haha :P I don't get insulted anywho
WHY ARE WE YELLING!!! THIS IS ALREADY GOOD ENOUGH FOR PEOPLE TOO READ! THEY ALREADY KNOW ITS AWESOME!!!!!
Am I the only one scrolling through the comments and just thinking
"What the fuck?"
Nope
This is lovely. Me and Beckii say congrats and have a good wedding :) - S*
I love deathnote
It's hard to think this is 4 Years old.
Still great to this day.
Yeah!!! death note song
What no it is not
Aaron Wiseman yes it is listen to the words and then think about death note
Also the name means "ballad of death"
a ballad is hardly a note...
(face palm) did i say ballad of death means death note, no, i said shi no barado means ballad of death
when i first saw the name all the lights in the sky i thought it was an amazing song, i was so wrong, cus it was an amazing album instead which made me 10x happier
I don't trust clicking show comment anymore...
funny, i dont even have the option to show a comment to a reply, thanks google!
Gryff Don't... trust... a song... that's flawless..?

death note 3333
They're probably just jealous,Not only of her singing but the fact that Beckii is looks amazing ^^
death note
After paying more attention to the lyrics I can see the connection

If Area 11 don't get big then they're ridiculously unlucky, this is the best song I've heard in a long time
almost a month later, still not used to not hearing "you're listening to radio sparkles"
neither of them even come close to scratching the surface of these guys.
my friend had me listen to this before i read her story, i have a feeling im gonna cry during the story
If you ever have a chance to play this song at an outdoor place make sure it is night!!
wonderful idea, i would actually watch the tv if area 11 were on Britain's got talent or x-factor, it would be amazing
A light year is the distance that light travels in a year, so facpalming for a lightyear means that you will be doing it for a year.
much love for internet rage, i honestly dont care about them its just fun doing this and watching you fan-boys squirm
this should all be on the charts
this is the softest song in the album. its awesome
link this out to them all! have them experience the joy you are!
You are so right man.... I never had a favorite band til I heard Area 11
everybody starts off small, its really only until they get noticed by bigger people when more people find out about them, so really good going for them lets hope they continue this great work and inspire countless more. Right back to listening now :3

Who's going to the anniversary tour?
You guys should really do some more gigs or, even better, go on tour. I really want to see you guys perform live and it would make my inner fangirl die of happiness!
I just love this song, so happy Martyn brought me here
we need to get these guys recognised properly, who agrees? go elevens!
Sparkles is an amazing singer!!
Infinity to the power of Infinity divided by 0
This has HIT written all over it, Beckii is just so cruel !
i came here for beckii and leave wanting more area 11
My friend, Morgan, introduced me to this band yesterday, haven't stopped listening since ((:
This song made me rewatch Death Note, and now whenever the characters say something related to it, I start singing 'Cuz baby when our eyes met...'
Well, the song is a reference to the anime Death Note, which I highly recommend watching, as it helps understand this song. It's very complicated to explain, especially without giving spoilers to it, but watching it definetly helps with understanding the song.
Sparkles*, lord of all ginger artists. Am I right?!
You'll win. There are is not anything better anyone could sing...
yeah true man being a musician makes it alot easier to tell girls how you feel
Area 11 is so cool
...you're not alone with that feeling bud
one of the best songs on the album
Absolutely Addicted to this song at the minute!!
i wasn't sure about this song at first but now it's one of my favorites x
Which includes my love life. That brings Twilight to a brand new low.
THANK YOU. YOU RESTORED MY FAITH IN MANKIND

It also has a 15 book manga. it's beautifully written and quite clever.
great job guys say thanks to martyn for pointing me to you guys !
Less than 6 hours until the single! It's gonna be so awesome!
Thank God for Area 11 being here to keep me sane when I'm about to beat a tree....
when Martyn (inthelittlewood) opens his mail on cam
This song is from Misa' point of view because of the line "My eyes will be your weapons" referring to the Shinigami Eyes to find out L's real name
It's like coffee for my heart.
PICTURES OF YOU
PICTURES OF ME
HUNG UP ON THE WALL
FOR THE WORLD TO SEE
You will, do not worry.
One of my favourite songs by Area 11.
I spent like 1-2hours listenin to this and I still can't get enough. :) awesome song !!!!
I think he just meant Area 11 is better than everything else. Everything!
Thank you it took us like ages to record and the album cover was supposed to be green but the stupid artist got it wrong
"A promise written on a TV screen"
"My eyes will be your weapons"
"Together we can burn this to the ground. Rebuild it into something right."
"I write your name down in my heart."
And then you realise this song is based on Death Note. *Mind=blown*
To the power of 8 turned sidewards... So, basically the power of infinity.
this song is so addictive
your a true hero man to put up with that every day
I am totally addicted to this song
I cant keep the songs out of my head I havent stopped singing them in my head and listening to them 24/7. this is the most listened to artist and even band that I like to listen to. Love these guys but my friends dont but I still keep them as friends because they like video game. btw I am a male.
We need an Area11 musical! This is when the cheesy, stereotypical protagonist falls in love.
i used think this was a really sweet song, then I read the manga, and its like my eyes have been opened.
This album is going to be really popular if we can get it out
Spread the word guys
your comment wasn't even sarcastic, no really, i'm glad you found it funny
I had this song downloaded on my PC.
I uploaded it to Google play so I could listen to it on my phone.
I'm not sure when it happened, but at some point in the last couple of years it got replaced by the Japanese version. Really weird.
you sir are a legend for putting up with that
You are indeed correct!
Nothing can match the awesomeness of Area 11! :)
yes they do
Infinity divided by zero.
infinity times the drill that will pierce the future!!!!
Area 11 to the Area 11th power
Damn, your comment made me want ot watch it again... Well, here we go again!
My favorite song in the album!
I loved this song without realising what the references were, so my friend told me to read Death Note, and now I love this song even more! :D
