Today is April 3rd, 2024, marks the 8th year since the passing of the great Wada Koji, his songs has impacted so many of our childhood, and his legacy and spirit will live on and shine in all of our hearts! Arigato, Koji sensei.
You likely miss your childhood which was likely much simpler than your adult life. But take this song as a hopeful send off into the adult world! This song will always be there to cheer you onwards!
I was lucky enough to have met Mr Wada when he came to Brazil back in 2010. Whenever I listen to this, I remember that once in my lifetime I could hear his voice singing this without any microphone or background music. Just his amazing voice, live and acapella for a small audience of event staff. I still get chills from remembering that.
They all have soooo beautiful voices esppp kari(the younger sister of the protagonist) but maybe i am biased cuz kari is literally my favourite character from season 1 in my childhood
@@minglin2814 You realize it WAS the original singer and they passed away shortly after this song aired, right? Kinda in poor taste to state it in such a matter of fact way in a reply to a comment like this
@@mistprowen3157 yea no you replied to the wrong dude. The person you replied to meant the fact that a good amount of if not most of the digidestined from adventure O1 don't have the same VA they did. And even the comment you were probably intending to respond to was just saying the singer had passed away didn't exactly say he had no involvement in the song.
Yeah. Digimon Tri.... watched the first episode and it started with that song. When I saw the photo on the table, I felt like meeting up with my friends that I hadn't seen for years. My eyes watered for a moment.
3:32 Right there. All of their voices becoming one to sing this song is truly a shot of adrenaline and nostalgia right to the heart. Thank you, Kouji Wada, for making this song possible.
I didn't grow up with Butterfly and Digimon wasn't a majority of my childhood, but I still have fond memories of it But this song is still a love letter to all those who enjoyed the Digimon universe
Same, as a kid I don't I really watched the series, except for a few movies. But I did play a bunch of the games, and I loved Digimon as a kid. Pretty sure I never heard this song as a kid but it brings nostalgia to me regardless
@@dowfreak7 i was one of those poor saps unfortunately. didn't know about Butterfly until a few years ago after i started watching Digimon in Japanese starting with Xros Wars and i'm grateful that i heard it
Since Koji Wada passed away, I can't listen to this song and not get emotional and even cry! Continue to rest in peace, Koji Wada, because your legacy will forever be remembered by your fans and fans of the Digimon franchise.
Kōji Wada - Singer of Butterfly , Toshiko Fujita - Taichi Voice Actor and Yūko Mizutani - Voice Actor of Sora would be proud in the Heaven knowing that this franchise bring all memories to all kids at the 90's whom now grownup become Parents Adults ...... Really an Epic Animations
من بلاد عربية ميلاد1994 كان Digimon يمثل حب الطفولة حتى الان مع تطور الاغنية اشعر ان الاغنية تذهب بي لعالم مليئ بالحب كلما اشتاق للطفول استمع الى Digimon
My childhood was a bleak one. I was poor, live in slums, but at least our family had a TV inherited from my granfather. It was the 90s, every sunday the TV would air this. They dub the song into indonesian. It brings me joy and warmth reminiscing about those times while hearing this song. My childhood was a harsh one, but still, I miss it. The innocence, as I enjoyed these shows for the first time. Adulthood turns out harsher than ever. Struggling for $150 a month just to survive, I wish I could stay as a kid, watching digimon through my old TV, no need to think for money, I could survive with no food for a week as a child, just give me a ps1, a TV airing these shows, and infinite time... maybe that'd be my heaven someday. Back to the day when innocence can keep me alive and well.
turut prihatin, dulu saya masih SMP nonton ini, salah satu hiburan dari kerasnya hidup di antara teman2 & lingkungan toxic. antara rindu dan juga nggak akan masa lalu, hehe.
8 years ago Wada Koji passed away. Here's to you, Koji-san, you created some wonderful music that changed lives and made your fans realize that friends can last a lifetime and never be forgotten. While you might move away and not get see them much anymore they will nevertheless remain in your heart and in your thoughts. Thank you, Wada Koji and may you forever rest in peace.
Just finished watching digimon last evolution, started crying at the ending but this show is my childhood and will always have a special place in my heart.
Growing up as a kid Digimon taught me to value friendship above all else; the last chorus with the entire cast singing together helps to remind me of why I adored this show so much growing up.
When that last bit hits and everyone comes out singing and suddenly every single Digimon memory of your entire life that you forgot about come in, welcoming you back. Mmph! That is some damn good nostalgia right there.

01/08/1999 hasta la fecha ha sido el tema que más ha marcado la serie. KOJI WADA, marcó una gran parte de nuestras vidas y este homenaje de todos que han participado en Adventure, digno de admiración. Con un nudo y lágrima llena mi vida este tema. Gracias Koji por este gran legado!
Starting part felt like a tribute, way to show respect and love to our beloved late Koji-san... he'll always be remembered through us and his songs... Rest In Peace❤️
In Italian Butterfly wasn't the op, but I remembered the music perfectly because the instrumental version played during the anticipations of the next episode... I love this song so much. It feels like I've always known it, even though I had never heard the actual song when I was little. Thank you, mr. Koji Wada
Ho provato la stessa sensazione. Quando 7 anni fa decisi di rivedere la serie in jap (dopo essere cresciuto con la versione ita) provai una sensazione di nostalgia incredibile, come se già la conoscessi. Ad ogni modo noi siamo stati molto fortunati: nella versione eng cambiarono tutta la soundtrack, dando alla serie un mood completamente diverso e snaturando tanti momenti iconici.
is it weird for me to cry to this song? this song hold so many memory of my childhood, thanks wada koji for ur masterpiece that we can enjoy for the rest of our life...
They could've insert the song "One Vision" at the end fight since it goes along their line : "This is our final evolution" (which is also part of the lyrics in "One Vision").
Just lost my dog of 13 year, 3 weeks ago. I couldn't help but come listen to this song. It means so much to me as it was jind if the end of my childhood. I lost my dog Fifi and she had been with me and my family since i was 13. Now 26 and still can't help, but think about her constanlty. Not only did we have to euthanize her, but she left a huge hole in my life. I am still sad, yet i can't help but feel maybe she wants me to listen to this. So that i can live for her, until we meet again. Please hold your loved ones dear and no matter what ypu do, you can't cheerish them ever enough.
@@thatsinteresting3415 Junya Ikeda, Jo's VA, *was also in Ensemble Stars (a rhythm gacha game) as Mitsuru Tenma. You can search more of his songs through that. *removed, he was such a chad that he impersonated a police officer to scam, so he was fired from his agency. Sorry to ruin it for you.
I will never forget this song. My childhood , my inspiration, my strength. I may now be almost 32 but i am grateful and have to thank Digimon and its creators for a wonderfull time.
When I was a kid, I used to mess around on TV and see a little boy and a dinosaur. at that time i wondered what movie this was i watched passionately, but next time i couldn't find the next episode i was really sad and later when i turned 10 i surfed on youtube and When I found out the movie's name was Digimon, I was so happy that I started spending time watching it. what a beautiful memory of my childhood, if only I could turn back time so I could enjoy the movie again.
I couldn't tell you a single character from Digimon. Was a fan as a small child when I could count my age on one hand. Never went back. This is an emotional masterpiece however, containing inspiration, beauty, and sadness. It's hard to explain why or how a song from a show I watched for a bit when I was barely self-aware can affect me 20 years later...but it does. Glad I'm not alone.
My uncle was the one who introduced my very first anime to me in 2006. He brought home the Blu-ray disc of most of the digimon series for me, those days when the only alternative is DVD to watch movies and stuff.. Ahh such nostalgic memories
I kinda regret that I was never able to watch digimon when I was young. Never knew you could find digimon on the Internet. Heck, I never even had the knowledge to even use a phone or computers that time. I was so young that I didn't know anything that I soon forgot about this show. Man! So much time passed I never knew how much these characters have evolved. I'm literally crying right now. This is bringing me too much nostalgia.
I am 34 now digimon has been my favorite anime since i was been since i was starting 5th grade while I was about to take karate lessons while my sister was about to take botan lessons i still remember I had ran home every after school to watch digimon i still like watching digimon and I did my own drawings of digimon
I honestly underestimated the Power of Nostalgia. I am 27 now and this song reminds me of the mornings before School, where i would wake up a bit early to watch the re-runs of Adventure and 02 with my big Brother. looking back on it this song is like a gut punch down memory lane, for me and so many others. this all cast version from tri is just perfect, i hope someone who has kids shows them these Series and maybe they will love them just as much as we did.
Koji esta canción quedará en los recuerdos de todos los fans de digimon ahora y para siempre y por más que la gente lo suba es en honor al futuro que distes con este tema dicho esto agradezco que subieran el video así aquí esta canción me hace llorar por recordar el futuro que dio esta serie desde su inicio con este tema unico
Just watched the new digimon moive adventure 02 that's come out back in March. I cried 😢 i was so awesome seeing davis tk and kari again felt like I was back in my childhood watching adventure 02. Long live digimon adventure
Digimon Adventures was one of the first animes I saw before I even got properly into watching anime, although it was without the japanese openings amd endings and just the western OST. But once I got into anime I've rewatched both seasons of digimon adventure and the movies in japanese and really enjoyed the songs. I never really got into Frontier, Tamers and whatever other digimon versions there is, but when they announced Digimon Adventure Tri. I got incredibly excited and wasn't disappointed at all when it wasn't the childish version like the first and second season but a more mature version like the movies if not more. In my opinion that is lovely as it shows it's targetting audience really was the ones that grew up with the originals and not just to appeal for a new generation.
diagimon was such a huge part of my childhood, and means so fucking much to me. it was also how i met my best friend. i hold it so near and dear to my heart, and its really funny, because i didnt even grow up watching the sub, but just the emotional connection makes me want to cry. revisiting digmon and hearing this song is so fucking powerful. i grew up with digimon. i love it. i always have, and i always will.
Digimon was not really my number 1 favorite anime before but hearing this is so nostalgic. I realized that it's not the song that we miss, it's the memories behind those songs. Thank you so much for all the people behind this song.
Let's not mourn Kouji Wada, let's be happy of the great childhood he brought us! I'm sure he'd love it that way. When we too go to the great beyond, we can smile and thank him then.
The last movie.. A great message for all of us. Especially us who grew up watching digimon. We can never stay as kids. One day, we all have to grow up. Old gen grow up for the younger ones 🥲. Will treasure this memory till the end ❤
My heart, it aches I miss this series so much I know adventure 2020s getting dubbed And I’m 14 But this was my childhood And there’s barely anywhere to watch it sadly
As soon as he started singing, it was like 'whoosh'; a rush of nostalgia and the realisation that my kid would not ever get to feel this song or the emotion behind it. Sad and happy at the same time.
Translation of Lyrics I'll become a happy butterfly, and ride on the glittering wind I'll come to see you soon It's best to forget the unnecessary things There's no more time to be fooling around What do you mean, wow wow wow wow wow? I wonder if we'll reach the skies But, wow wow wow wow wow I don't even know what my plans are for tomorrow After an endless dream, in this world of nothingness It seems as if our beloved dreams will lose Even with these unreliable wings, covered in images that tend to stay I'm sure we can fly, on my love I'll become a merry butterfly, and ride on the earnest wind I'll come to see you where ever you are Ambiguous words are surprisingly handy I'll shout it out, while listening to a hit song What do you mean, wow wow wow wow wow? I wonder if it'll echo through this town But, wow wow wow wow wow There's no use anticipating After an endless dream, in this miserable world That's right, maybe not using common sense isn't so bad after all Even with these awkward wings, dyed with images that seem to stay I'm sure we can fly, on my love After an endless dream, in this world of nothingness It seems as if our beloved dreams will lose Even with these unreliable wings, covered in images that tend to stay I'm sure we can fly, oh yeah After an endless dream, in this miserable world That's right, maybe not using common sense isn't so bad after all Even with these awkward wings, dyed with images that seem to stay I'm sure we can fly, on my love Best to see the lyrics after watching the 1st version of digimon and tri
Butterfly elicists many emotions for me. I also listen to it when i'm depressed, or happy, or energetic. It is always a good moment to listen to it, or Breave heart for that matter.
They couldn't make a better version for stabbing my heart, while the end of Adventure 01 made me have this feel of saying bye to my best friends, this still makes me revisit those feelings 20 years later lmao
It's impossible for me to listen to this song and not cry 😭😭 RIP Koji Wada you left such a significant mark in my life no matter how much I grow older I would never be able to forget you or this masterpiece.
I guess I'm not the weird one who cry after hearing this. Both the original and this version, but this version where the VA sing together just hits different. Braveheart also causes similar thing, but butterfly is just different
I don't know exactly how many years had passed by since I last watched the first season, but... I really wish I can go back in time to watch it again with all the emotions that initially brought forth. Times goes by so fast. Yesterday it felt like I just discovered anime, and now, I'm going to college. Like, damn. It's almost like a slap to face.
I can't describe the nostalgia I feel about this anime and it's only been 4 years since I watched it for the first time! I'm glad I did and became a part of the fandom before Digimon last evolution kizuna come out! Unfortunately I'm 16 now which means I only got less than 2 years before becoming adult and I regret many decisions for my life. I miss the elementary school years...😩
Bro imagine how it feels being over 20 XD Don't worry, you got more years ahead of you to make even more mistakes and fix them. Plus, there's another new Digimon series out right now called Digimon Ghost Game!
Hey, I'm on my late 20s and have a lot of regrets. Think of me as your future self, and use those years before you get to 20 to make sure you don't have regrets. You don't have to be the best, but always strive to become better than you were yesterday. That, will be your own evolution.
you should watch! specially Digimon Adventure, Digimon Adventure 02, Digimon Tamers and Digimon Adventure Tri. for me the best seasons and Last Evolution Kizuna, the last movie which closes the serie ^^
I just barely started watching tri after reconnecting to the series (my roommate and I binged Tamers during the holidays and he has several of the old video games) and the nostalgia trip from the first two episodes just reminded me so much of waking up every Saturday to watch the original runs for Adventure and Adventure 2 and it... It kinda feels like I went back in time to something I really enjoyed. Yeah, it's safe to say Digimon has left its mark on this old bird, and this song epitomizes that. I can't wait to finish watching tri and the final movie
Que buenos recuerdos!! Gracias Digimon por darme nuevamente fé, recordarme que la fe y el amor todo lo puede, me has sacado de la depresión y ahora sin duda se que tengo que hacer.❤️
Even though I'm an adult now, this song will still be always my fav from my wholetime fav anime. Thanks for the memories. How not to cry while listening to this 🥹😢😭
It's incredible how hard it is to find the new versions of this song and its alternative editions, and the once I did find are so low quality that you can practically hear the difference.
I remember when I watched Digimon after years of not watching, maybe I had forgotten this song but after I heard it then it gave me goosebumps😖 because I remembered the first time I heard it🥹
Today is April 3rd, 2024, marks the 8th year since the passing of the great Wada Koji, his songs has impacted so many of our childhood, and his legacy and spirit will live on and shine in all of our hearts! Arigato, Koji sensei.
i hope he is at peace
What that happened on apirl 3 i start relisting his song on apirl 3 and forgot how love i am with his song wow this must be what you call fate
May he forever rest in peace, jamming out to every wonderful song he's given us.
そうか、もう7年も前になるのか
to think, this was one of his last songs, i miss him, a lot
dunno why i cry while listening to this childhood memory song, maybe life of an adult to harsh for me TT
The nostalgiaa brooo
Same. I tear up in the beginning and when the voice actors are saying their character names and digimon names. So nostalgic
And here I see the power of friendship... That doesn't exist in the adult world, It really is a super power in anime.
You likely miss your childhood which was likely much simpler than your adult life. But take this song as a hopeful send off into the adult world! This song will always be there to cheer you onwards!
Cos it the memory that you had as a child that made you into the current now as an adult without it there wont be 'present' you
R.I.P Wada Kouji & thank you for this wonderful song... truly be missed but never forgotten...
😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

producers probably thinking: "Thank God you can all sing."
They all have soooo beautiful voices esppp kari(the younger sister of the protagonist) but maybe i am biased cuz kari is literally my favourite character from season 1 in my childhood
Lmao bro 😂
In Japan, there are schools for voice actor and actress. They didn't learn how to just voice acting but also singing, that's why they can sing. 😂
autotune power is stronk
I mean, if they can do voice acting, surely they have singing skills, like part of job.
To the singer and all casts, THANK YOU SO MUCH TO GAVE US PERFECT CHILDHOOD!
the singer has passed away
It's not even the original cast apart from the digimons

Maybe it is your time to finish the show now
after seen Kizuna movie, listen this song and specially when everyone said their partner names make my cry... that hurts... to much
They could've insert the song "One Vision" at the end fight since it goes along their line : "This is our final evolution" (which is also part of the lyrics in "One Vision").
Just lost my dog of 13 year, 3 weeks ago. I couldn't help but come listen to this song. It means so much to me as it was jind if the end of my childhood. I lost my dog Fifi and she had been with me and my family since i was 13. Now 26 and still can't help, but think about her constanlty. Not only did we have to euthanize her, but she left a huge hole in my life. I am still sad, yet i can't help but feel maybe she wants me to listen to this. So that i can live for her, until we meet again. Please hold your loved ones dear and no matter what ypu do, you can't cheerish them ever enough.
Joe's killing It! My God.
Why's Joe got such a Chad voice?
@@thatsinteresting3415 Junya Ikeda, Jo's VA, *was also in Ensemble Stars (a rhythm gacha game) as Mitsuru Tenma. You can search more of his songs through that.
*removed, he was such a chad that he impersonated a police officer to scam, so he was fired from his agency. Sorry to ruin it for you.
I will never forget this song. My childhood , my inspiration, my strength. I may now be almost 32 but i am grateful and have to thank Digimon and its creators for a wonderfull time.
和田さんはすごいよ
亡くなってしまってもなお、きっと100年も200年も誰かに思い出されるんだよ、こんな素晴らしい曲があって、そんな曲に弔われてさ
他人から見た目線でしかないけど最高の人生だよ
証拠にこの動画のコメント外人ばっかだよ
こんなこと普通に生きててありえないだろ
どれだけ沢山の人に愛されているのか、いまだに愛を与えているのか。
Listening to this as an adult is when I realise that the power of friendship doesn't exist in this world, and that it is indeed a superpower.
any connection is a from of super power.
When I was a kid, I used to mess around on TV and see a little boy and a dinosaur. at that time i wondered what movie this was i watched passionately, but next time i couldn't find the next episode i was really sad and later when i turned 10 i surfed on youtube and When I found out the movie's name was Digimon, I was so happy that I started spending time watching it. what a beautiful memory of my childhood, if only I could turn back time so I could enjoy the movie again.
🤗
I couldn't tell you a single character from Digimon.
Was a fan as a small child when I could count my age on one hand. Never went back.
This is an emotional masterpiece however, containing inspiration, beauty, and sadness.
It's hard to explain why or how a song from a show I watched for a bit when I was barely self-aware can affect me 20 years later...but it does.
Glad I'm not alone.
I just didn't realize that my tears just fell when all cast sing along
thank for priceless childhood memories
My uncle was the one who introduced my very first anime to me in 2006. He brought home the Blu-ray disc of most of the digimon series for me, those days when the only alternative is DVD to watch movies and stuff.. Ahh such nostalgic memories
I thought only i get emotional to this and cry, but it looks like I'm not the only one! After all these years we are still here.
I kinda regret that I was never able to watch digimon when I was young. Never knew you could find digimon on the Internet. Heck, I never even had the knowledge to even use a phone or computers that time. I was so young that I didn't know anything that I soon forgot about this show. Man! So much time passed I never knew how much these characters have evolved. I'm literally crying right now. This is bringing me too much nostalgia.
it is also on hulu
When they call each other dude the memories is flooding in aah what a wobderfull childhood
The fact that most people dont realise AiM voices Mimi shows how well she can sing “in character”
She has different seiyuu for Tri, Aim didn't voice mimi here
Waittt AiM there was actually Ai Maeda?
I thought she was dead lol
@@LaineMann it's koji wada who died already
@@anucktitan8850 I know
Excuse me I need to just go let out the tears of nostalgia God I love this series!!!
I am 34 now digimon has been my favorite anime since i was been since i was starting 5th grade while I was about to take karate lessons while my sister was about to take botan lessons i still remember I had ran home every after school to watch digimon i still like watching digimon and I did my own drawings of digimon
I honestly underestimated the Power of Nostalgia.
I am 27 now and this song reminds me of the mornings before School, where i would wake up a bit early to watch the re-runs of Adventure and 02 with my big Brother.
looking back on it this song is like a gut punch down memory lane, for me and so many others.
this all cast version from tri is just perfect, i hope someone who has kids shows them these Series and maybe they will love them just as much as we did.
Koji esta canción quedará en los recuerdos de todos los fans de digimon ahora y para siempre y por más que la gente lo suba es en honor al futuro que distes con este tema dicho esto agradezco que subieran el video así aquí esta canción me hace llorar por recordar el futuro que dio esta serie desde su inicio con este tema unico
Koji did a masterpiece,at 34 yo still bring back memories and chills
最初の和田さんで涙が出そうになるんだ
時間を感じるんだ
声優がキャラとして歌ってる以上の上手さが聴こえるんだ
Just watched the new digimon moive adventure 02 that's come out back in March. I cried 😢 i was so awesome seeing davis tk and kari again felt like I was back in my childhood watching adventure 02. Long live digimon adventure
無限大な夢のあとの 何もない世の中じゃ
そうさ愛しい 想いも負けそうになるけど
Stayしがちなイメージだらけの 頼りない翼でも
きっと飛べるさ Oh Yeah~
無限大な夢のあとの やるせない世の中じゃ
そうさ常識 はずれも悪くはないかな
Stayしそうなイメージを染めた ぎこちない翼でも
きっと飛べるさ On My Love
ゴキゲンな蝶になって きらめく風に乗って
今すぐ キミに会いに行こう
余計な事なんて 忘れた方がマシさ
これ以上 シャレてる時間はない
何が WOW WOW~ この空に届くのだろう
だけど WOW WOW~ 明日の予定もわからない
無限大な夢のあとの 何もない世の中じゃ
そうさ愛しい 想いも負けそうになるけど
Stayしがちなイメージだらけの 頼りない翼でも
きっと飛べるさ On My Love
ウカレタ蝶になって 一途な風に乗って
どこまでも キミに会いに行こう
曖昧な言葉って 意外に便利だって
叫んでる ヒットソング聴きながら
何が WOW WOW~ この街に響くのだろう
だけど WOW WOW~ 期待してても仕方ない
無限大な夢のあとの やるせない世の中じゃ
そうさ常識 はずれも悪くはないかな
Stayしそうなイメージを染めた ぎこちない翼でも
きっと飛べるさ On My Love

Digimon Adventures was one of the first animes I saw before I even got properly into watching anime, although it was without the japanese openings amd endings and just the western OST.
But once I got into anime I've rewatched both seasons of digimon adventure and the movies in japanese and really enjoyed the songs.
I never really got into Frontier, Tamers and whatever other digimon versions there is, but when they announced Digimon Adventure Tri. I got incredibly excited and wasn't disappointed at all when it wasn't the childish version like the first and second season but a more mature version like the movies if not more.
In my opinion that is lovely as it shows it's targetting audience really was the ones that grew up with the originals and not just to appeal for a new generation.
diagimon was such a huge part of my childhood, and means so fucking much to me. it was also how i met my best friend. i hold it so near and dear to my heart, and its really funny, because i didnt even grow up watching the sub, but just the emotional connection makes me want to cry. revisiting digmon and hearing this song is so fucking powerful. i grew up with digimon. i love it. i always have, and i always will.
Dios que genios, este tema en si me hace llorar y me da una puntada al corazón y a mi infancia, son unos geeniiioooss sigan asi...
Digimon was not really my number 1 favorite anime before but hearing this is so nostalgic. I realized that it's not the song that we miss, it's the memories behind those songs. Thank you so much for all the people behind this song.
Let's not mourn Kouji Wada, let's be happy of the great childhood he brought us!
I'm sure he'd love it that way. When we too go to the great beyond, we can smile and thank him then.
The last movie.. A great message for all of us. Especially us who grew up watching digimon. We can never stay as kids. One day, we all have to grow up. Old gen grow up for the younger ones 🥲. Will treasure this memory till the end ❤
My heart, it aches
I miss this series so much
I know adventure 2020s getting dubbed
And I’m 14
But this was my childhood
And there’s barely anywhere to watch it sadly
I am 16, but I love Digimon Adventure. Its soundtrack is just emotional! ❤
I can't help but tear up every time I sing this song, it's so beautiful and reminds me of simpler days back in my childhood
eventually we all grow up. But still thanks for becoming one of my childhood pieces
As soon as he started singing, it was like 'whoosh'; a rush of nostalgia and the realisation that my kid would not ever get to feel this song or the emotion behind it. Sad and happy at the same time.
Translation of Lyrics
I'll become a happy butterfly, and ride on the glittering wind
I'll come to see you soon
It's best to forget the unnecessary things
There's no more time to be fooling around
What do you mean, wow wow wow wow wow? I wonder if we'll reach the skies
But, wow wow wow wow wow I don't even know what my plans are for tomorrow
After an endless dream, in this world of nothingness
It seems as if our beloved dreams will lose
Even with these unreliable wings, covered in images that tend to stay
I'm sure we can fly, on my love
I'll become a merry butterfly, and ride on the earnest wind
I'll come to see you where ever you are
Ambiguous words are surprisingly handy
I'll shout it out, while listening to a hit song
What do you mean, wow wow wow wow wow? I wonder if it'll echo through this town
But, wow wow wow wow wow There's no use anticipating
After an endless dream, in this miserable world
That's right, maybe not using common sense isn't so bad after all
Even with these awkward wings, dyed with images that seem to stay
I'm sure we can fly, on my love
After an endless dream, in this world of nothingness
It seems as if our beloved dreams will lose
Even with these unreliable wings, covered in images that tend to stay
I'm sure we can fly, oh yeah
After an endless dream, in this miserable world
That's right, maybe not using common sense isn't so bad after all
Even with these awkward wings, dyed with images that seem to stay
I'm sure we can fly, on my love
Best to see the lyrics after watching the 1st version of digimon and tri
times were simpler back then, digimon nostalgia hits good
Every time I'm depressed, I'd listen to this song. It reminds me that even if with the broken wings, I'm sure that we can fly. Never lose hope bro 👊
Butterfly elicists many emotions for me. I also listen to it when i'm depressed, or happy, or energetic. It is always a good moment to listen to it, or Breave heart for that matter.
They couldn't make a better version for stabbing my heart, while the end of Adventure 01 made me have this feel of saying bye to my best friends, this still makes me revisit those feelings 20 years later lmao
32 ANOS E AINDA SINTO AQUELE ARREPIO AO OUVIR AS MUSICAS DE DIGIMON DENTRE MUITOS OUTROS ANIMES DA MINHA INFANCIA
It’s impossible for me to listen to this song without goosebumps throughout, every, single, time.
It's impossible for me to listen to this song and not cry 😭😭 RIP Koji Wada you left such a significant mark in my life no matter how much I grow older I would never be able to forget you or this masterpiece.
I guess I'm not the weird one who cry after hearing this. Both the original and this version, but this version where the VA sing together just hits different. Braveheart also causes similar thing, but butterfly is just different
I don't know exactly how many years had passed by since I last watched the first season, but... I really wish I can go back in time to watch it again with all the emotions that initially brought forth. Times goes by so fast. Yesterday it felt like I just discovered anime, and now, I'm going to college. Like, damn. It's almost like a slap to face.
I can't describe the nostalgia I feel about this anime and it's only been 4 years since I watched it for the first time! I'm glad I did and became a part of the fandom before Digimon last evolution kizuna come out! Unfortunately I'm 16 now which means I only got less than 2 years before becoming adult and I regret many decisions for my life. I miss the elementary school years...😩
Chin up, little digidestined. It’ll all work out in the end.
Bro imagine how it feels being over 20 XD Don't worry, you got more years ahead of you to make even more mistakes and fix them. Plus, there's another new Digimon series out right now called Digimon Ghost Game!
But in kizuna taichi and Yamato lost their digimon at the age of 22 so don't worry you still have time
Hey, I'm on my late 20s and have a lot of regrets. Think of me as your future self, and use those years before you get to 20 to make sure you don't have regrets. You don't have to be the best, but always strive to become better than you were yesterday. That, will be your own evolution.
I have never watched a single episode of digimon but I'm in love with this song.
you should watch! specially Digimon Adventure, Digimon Adventure 02, Digimon Tamers and Digimon Adventure Tri. for me the best seasons and Last Evolution Kizuna, the last movie which closes the serie ^^
本物の神曲じゃん
I just barely started watching tri after reconnecting to the series (my roommate and I binged Tamers during the holidays and he has several of the old video games) and the nostalgia trip from the first two episodes just reminded me so much of waking up every Saturday to watch the original runs for Adventure and Adventure 2 and it... It kinda feels like I went back in time to something I really enjoyed.
Yeah, it's safe to say Digimon has left its mark on this old bird, and this song epitomizes that. I can't wait to finish watching tri and the final movie
I am always crying at the end when everybody is singing 😢 So much memories and an explosion of So many émotions
Que buenos recuerdos!! Gracias Digimon por darme nuevamente fé, recordarme que la fe y el amor todo lo puede, me has sacado de la depresión y ahora sin duda se que tengo que hacer.❤️
Every time this song sneaks into my feed I always get teary eyed.
the best anime OST I've ever listened. it sounds so uplifting. I'm very grateful to reminisce my childhood animation.
Everytime i stumble upon this song while scrolling through RUclips, I always get goosebumps.
Even though I'm an adult now, this song will still be always my fav from my wholetime fav anime. Thanks for the memories.
How not to cry while listening to this 🥹😢😭
The nostalgia hits hard!!!
I am sure even those who haven’t watched the series would certainly feel the emotions coming from this song.
Koji's most known and played of all time, and his last digimon too.... may u rest in peace
look its 2024 and im still here ;') . how i really miss my childhood tv series back then. digimon will be forever in my heart .
Tri might not have been the best, but this is my favorite version of Butter-fly. Makes me tear up every time.
Mine too. It gives me chills.
One of the best OST from One of the BEST anime's of all time.❤️
2023 still listening to this thank you! Wada Koji
Im not crying, so much happines from this song. My whole childhood passes in these few minutes ❤❤❤❤
Those songs are fused into my DNA, i cannot listen to them without having an emotional reaction
This song hits differently now
Why did this song give me so much chills! The harmony was amazing!
I'm crying right now, listening to this in 2024.
digimon will always have a special place in my heart
It's incredible how hard it is to find the new versions of this song and its alternative editions, and the once I did find are so low quality that you can practically hear the difference.
Digimon Digital monsters, forever thank you Digimon for my childhood😊
Rip Mr wada you have blessed us with an amazing song and touch all your fans hearts ❤ may you find peace 😢
I remember when I watched Digimon after years of not watching, maybe I had forgotten this song but after I heard it then it gave me goosebumps😖 because I remembered the first time I heard it🥹
