I nearly jumped out of my chair when I saw this on my feed. My favorite Japanese singer covering one of the oldest songs on my song list? I can listen to this until the day of my passing.
Okay, Kokia (who I adore), singing Simon's and Garfunkel's version of Scarborough Fair (totally unrelated song that I also adore) is a gem I didn't think I would find today. I love Kokia more and more with every song.
The song is somewhat related because it was included in an episode of the second season of Gunslinger Girl because it was a favourite song of one of the characters. Kokia's song, "Tatta Hitotsu no Omio" served as the season 2 opener.
A lot of her songs are hit or miss for me, but the ones i like i really do like. Regardless, the music is always very good, and she's not half as popular as she deserves to be
@@AyakaruJuuhachi Exactly! Her voice has so much colors and dynamics in it, I've rarely heard anything as unique. Like, some singers have crazy techniques, but they don't have that much emotions and flavor to them. Kokia underrated.
Just to make sure, is kokia related to suka suka? I already listened to suka suka's scarborough fair version and it is freaking awesome.. and same with kokia's version..just asking
Are you going to Scarborough Fair? Parsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme Remember me to one who lives there She once was a true love of mine Tell her to make me a cambric shirt (in the deep forest green) Parsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme (Tracing of sparrow on snow-crested ground) Without no seams nor needle work (Bedclothes the child of the mountain) Then she'll be a true love of mine (Sleeps unaware of the clarion call) Tell her to find me an acre of land (A sprinkling of leaves) Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme (Washes the grave with silvery tears) Between the salt water and the sea strands (And polishes a gun) Then she'll be a true love of mine Tell her to reap it with a sickle of leather (Blazing in scarlet battalions) Parsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme (Generals order their soldiers to kill) And gather it all in a bunch of heather (A cause they've long ago forgotten) Then she'll be a true love of mine Are you going to Scarborough Fair? Parsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme Remember me to one who lives there She once was a true love of mine
@@KaraSub2.0 if you've ever read anything from the aurthorian tales(king aurthor and the round table) they use a wierd version of english. they rearrange the order of words and the meaning of certain ones. so "from" can also be "to" making it, "remember me to one who lives there" and remember sort of means "cause someone to remember something" so it basically just means "remind the people back home about me"
Previously I lived in Japan for 7 years & taught English. I came to really like many Japanese artists (Off Course, Oda Kazumasa, Rebecca & Nokko, Globe, Tatsuro Yamashita, Toshinobu Kubota). However, today was the first time I had ever heard Kokia. I listened to many of her songs ~ and then this one totally blew me away! Simon & Garfunkel should be so good! Why I never heard of her before? She sounds like an angel...
Oh my.... I'm nearly melting. No wonder this is one of my most favoured songs of all times, such a touching timeless classic, rightfully much beloved all around the world, with so many really great versions around. Gotta admit though, this must surely be the most beautiful version I've ever heard of it yet - by SO far! Simply stunning, how dazzlingly perfect she sings it so fairy-like, to highlight that incredibly impressive elvish arrangement. She's gotta be a truely talented and awe inspiring artist, to maintain such an amazingly clear and bright timbre, in her shiver-inducing angelic voice. Wish the world had many more of such rare talents, that can make you at least feel like, even if only for those precious few moments, they could really make it a much better place. Thank you so much for this wonderful moment of peacefulk bliss, as fleeting as it may be...
this song my father used to lullaby me... my mother left us and he is the only one taking of us.... as a soldier my father...we are always been send to relatives we been much of dramatic and traumatic experiences that you can imagine from our aunt and others heartless relatives before my father realized.... until now its haunted me but I am happy with my dad again he do a early retirement for us.... yes he has a successful in his military career but not on his family .... my father are not alcoholic nor have any vices.... his the best father I know even his strict by his militaristic rules I love him so much!

It's very very beautiful and charming Kokia's voice Like a siren singing in the ocean... ah I'm so sorry For people who don't know Kokia she is so beautiful When I hear this I really want to go to a fantasy world that is very beautiful where amazing things happen you never see. there are not many people who know such a world that i really want to live in forever...♡
Holy shit!!! One of my favorite songs. I've heard many women sing it in an ethereal way - once I saw 'Kokia' I nearly threw my phone in excitement. YES!!! Through countless defeats comes victory - and this song signifies the win. I made it to the light side of darkness - finally.
I was wondering why autocorrect was giving me a Scarborough fair song right after Kokia songs so often. I didn’t realize it was kokia singing it because I thought it was a native English speaker. Beautiful.
La vida tiene cosas HERMOSAS, ésta angelical voz y ésta inigualable versión llena el corazón y la alma de profunda PAZ; un abrazo de LUZ para TOD@S desde QUITO-ECUADOR!!!
I knew I'd love this when I saw the title of the recommended video. The Simon and Garfunkel version, the SukaSuka insert song version and of course this one are awesome. I need to find all the Kokia.
One of my favorite all time songs. Of course I love Simon and Garfunkel and love how nox arcana played with the lyrics but still stayed true to the songs story but OMG this incredible artist with the subtle runs and unbelievable voice combined with this ingenious arrangement is mystical magical spiritual an experience in itself that carries me away to a time and place that only exist in my dreams congratulations on a masterpiece
@@user-hh7tr6tq4j под такую музыку всегда представляю светлую и немного печальную деву. Ради которой можно надеть латы и взять меч. Она смотрит немного в сторону, глаза её блестят, как будто она немного прослезилась. Она не просто жена, но как мать олицетворяет заботящееся и лелеющее начало. Такая нежность и сила духа. Она как будто сияет, разгоняя мрак в душах. Indeed, The Radiant Maiden.
Been a fan of Kokia for nearly a year now and, honestly, their musicality is so well expressed..You don't see this no more. Most of the bands of this genre would somehow get me bored, because they'd just stay inside a rare/exotic (you give it your name) scale and just hover there for 5 to 6 minutes and call them selves "traditional", "folk" ,"epic" and so on. ΚΟΚΙA goes far beyond that. Bottom live : LISTEN TO KOKIA
If anyone here ever watched (Mahoutsukai no yome) and the OST where the fairy queen made the entrance. Listen carefully at the harmonising part from 1:51 and you will hear the similarities 💕 Btw she sang that OST too 😌💕 (OST: Dance of the spirit)
I was actually looking up the original song because it had come up recently when I asked a friend to play me a folk song, and I was pleasantly surprised to find that Kokia had actually covered it. Quite poggers, as the kids say these days. lol
how did i go over a full year not knowing about this, i love kokia now all i need is for her to cover I see fire and i think nothing in life could ever bother me again
I heared this song from anime series, and it definitely fits the story, while the singer sings that cut through the heart, serenading a message of sad hope, but yet pour a sound of light that beams through the sadness find from the story! I like this song a lot, though don't know the artist.
@@BladeOfSteel-Sword_Saint Agreed, I originally heard this song from WorldEnd and just discovered this version tonight. I cant decide which version is better, this one or the one in the anime. Man it brings back memories of watching that anime and its finale episode.

You should try Kokia - Arigatou. A beautiful.

This is beautiful
Scarborough fair is already one of my favorite songs
And this is just beautiful

OMG!サイモンとガーファンクルの一番好きな歌。ご本人の声も本当に好きなんだけど、kokiaさんのこんなきれいな声でも聞けるなんて!!!
風がどこまでも抜けていく。草もまばらな荒野でぼんやりと地平線を眺めている気分
認識Kokia跟聽她的歌已經是20年前的事了，如同大家聽到她的歌聲時的感動一樣，是那一生中難以忘卻的聲音，彷彿來自於天堂的彼端，腦海中再次想起她另人心靈沉澱的歌聲，來到了這裡仍是感動～
ケルト神話か 北欧神話を元にした音楽のようにも聞こえる❤
ほんと この上ない素晴らしい歌声
絵のチョイスも素晴らしい。本当に波に呑まれるかのような。

wow... so many versions of Scarborough Fair I have heard.. and this one is the best..
When I first heard this tears started coming from my eyes this is so beautiful
“I’ve given up on finding my happiness, because right now, I’m the happiest girl in the world!”
Rip chtholly
Entah mengapa lagu ini membuat saya ingin meneteskan air mata, begitu menenangkan sehingga akan terlarut kedalam melodinya
I can never get enough of Kokia.
Her voice make me crying 😭😭😭😭💙💙💙
This gave me goosebumps. Holy hell it sounds absolutely amazing. Ty youtube recomandation.
Just try and get the cd it came from - just impossible - a total disgrace.

We needed this. We really needed this for 2020. Heck, even for 2021 we'll need this.
I think this is the most mysterious and beautiful song in my lifetime. ❤
Since she sung the opening PlayStation game "Tail Concerto" I fell in love with her music
