Serial Experiments Lain was the first anime I watched knowing it was anime, and not just the Robotech/Voltron cartoons on Saturday mornings. I watched it because a girl I liked at school was into it, and in hindsight, knowing both how our relationship went and what effect anime would have on the rest of my life…. Maybe it was stupid. But I will always have a soft spot in my heart for this song, and I find it really beautiful even without the nostalgia. And I’m amazed yet again that despite having such a heartwarming, slightly squeaky talking voice, that Amiya is able to sing with such a haunting and beautiful timbre. Thank you Amiya, for making me feel both young and old at the same time. And for such a wonderful cover.
This is actually quite a bold cover to execute. The original is so iconic and sung with that unique taunting desperation, any performance becomes difficult to live up to the original. But everything really works here. The slower pace, powerful but resigned vocal performance, deliberately reduced instrumentation, and on-point visuals. It doesn't just fit together well - it echoes themes of the show while still managing to be distinct. I'm impressed. Exceptional work.
This spider has the voice of an angel and is able to bring out such emotion in so many songs, especially this one. thank you so much for doing such an amazing cover of such a beutiful song Ami.
As an absoulte massive die hard Lain fan and Duvet enjoyer let me say this... the instrumentals being way beyond point, the artwork for the mv being *chef's kiss*, and the vocals... the vocals so incredible and so much emotion on display. Ami you outdid youself, a beyond amazing job. So proud of you
This was genuinely a joy to listen to. I got lost in your voice and four minutes went in a flash. You have a great gift. So thankful i found this channel.
An absolutely beautiful cover Ami, I'm moved. Sorrowful but there's so much happiness there, in your voice and instrumentals. Just beautiful. The music video fits perfectly as well with the somber Lain vibes. Your voice is one of a kind, thanks so much for sharing your talent with us
Ami’s always terrific voice accompanied by her equally great guitar playing, absolutely crushed it ma’am. I’ll close one tab and open the next to keep listening 😊
04:07 I am drowning... in a beautifully mixed arrangement of fingerpicked guitar arpeggios. If Ami ever took a similar approach to covering Fade Into You, & I listened to it back to back with her version of Duvet; I would literally melt into a sadboy puddle.
Holy meow! This turned out so good. The instrumentals, vocals, and MV are all absolutely perfect. This is your best work yet, i got genuine chills from your voice here. Wow!
5 hours from now and I already love it :p This song on one of your karaokes is how you gripped my interest by the proverbial horns and wrestled it into captivity!
Phenomenal doesn't even begin to describe how good this is. I don't even know what word I could say that could accurately describe how good this is, but I guess phenomenal has to do. Really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really good job Amiya!
this is hands down the best cover/video ever published on the channel, the singing, the edit, the art, the guitar, are perfectly sync what if one day we can see original song made and edit by Ami herself? I would wait for that. also, amilove
I remember watching Serial Experiments Lain, and listening to this cover brought back some good times. Your voice always captures the emotion perfectly. Thank you for delivering this amazing cover Ami!
Beatifull, beatifull and even more beatifull! I knew another cover by the best spider girl in the world is gonna be very awesome and you absolutely confirmed those belief Ami. You voice was 10/10 as always and everything else wonderfull. Big thanks to you and all the team involved for making this live rent free in my head.
I'll forever be shocked at your vocal range. The emotion coming out of your singing and playing... This sounds like a lost MTV Unplugged classic from the 90s in the best way imaginable, Ami. Phenomenal job as always!!
I was just thinking of rewatching Serial Experiments Lain a few days ago and then you come out with this absolutely beautiful cover, Ami. I could listen to this over and over during these rainy nights where I currently am. 💖
You really were meant to sing this, it fits your voice insanely well. So happy that you finally made this and how splendid it came out. God i love your singing Ami
That was simply incredible. You can tell how much effort you put into it. It was totally worth the wait!! Once again my mind has been blown with how good your voice is
Wow~ So cozy yet powerful voice of a Spider! My heart is quivering with your vibrato! What a Beautiful Editing on MV! this Bucko Happy! Once again you helped me see Sadness can turn into such a peace& beauty!
I keep coming back to this song, even not having seen SEL yet. Thank you for this absolutely beatiful cover Amyia, now I have two versions to alternate between ;_;
Lovely singing, lovely playing and even greater together. Really managed to find the artist for that lain feel too. It all comes together amazingly, great work all three of you! 2:55 Still have to figure out why this pokes my brain so
I can't stop listening to this cover Ami, really makes my mornings your voice can sound so perfect when paired with the guitar and the harmonics you made, this might be my new favorite cover of yours
Wonderful and chilling cover Ami This song stuck with me when you last sang it in karaoke even though I have never watched Lain. You definitely spoil the buckos with so many awesome covers
I've listened to this a few times now and I kept forgetting to comment! Sorry I didn't comment at the debut, I listened but I had sore ears that day and wanted to comment after hearing it with better ears. Your singing always astounds me, and I really like the part at 2;12 and 3:17 however I'm really impressed you did the Guitar for this. I would've thought it was pre-made had you not said otherwise! The Video also turned out really well with the screen effects and making use of different parts of the negative space in the art. You selected a good artist for this, especially with how the web wires are removable!
This is one of my favs Boa songs. Your cover is so beautiful; your voice is impressive and the vibes the MV gives plus the instrumental, it was perfect!
this is so lovely ami!!!!!!! i love the instrumental rendition so much,,,your gorgeous voice works so well with it,,,,
Ahhh thank you Shiki... I love your rendition as well!!

AMI I LOVE YOU THIS IS GONNA BE THE BANGER OF BANGERS
Spooder is so talented!
Cover was incredible! You have to have one of the best singing voices out of any vtubers I've ever heard
Not only is this one of my favorite songs, but it's the acoustic version with your awesome voice too! It totally fits your range.
That was an absolutely amazing cover, rivaling Jasmine's vocals is no easy feat but you pulled it off Ami! Bravo, it was breathtaking!
As an absoulte massive die hard Lain fan and Duvet enjoyer let me say this... the instrumentals being way beyond point, the artwork for the mv being *chef's kiss*, and the vocals... the vocals so incredible and so much emotion on display. Ami you outdid youself, a beyond amazing job. So proud of you
Thanks for the preview Ami, I'm sure I'd enjoy this 💙💜
It's beautiful, and the artwork combined with the VHS effects really captures of feeling of Lain! Thank you for the lovely singing!
This was genuinely a joy to listen to. I got lost in your voice and four minutes went in a flash. You have a great gift. So thankful i found this channel.
Vocal, instrumentals, AND editing? Your hard work really shines through.
man, the preview has me so hyped
couldn't comment at time of premiere without getting caught at work But it came out so well Ami! The intro especially was really cool
NO WAY AMI HOLY SHIT
Well, only 5 hours more to wait 😅
An absolutely beautiful cover Ami, I'm moved. Sorrowful but there's so much happiness there, in your voice and instrumentals. Just beautiful. The music video fits perfectly as well with the somber Lain vibes. Your voice is one of a kind, thanks so much for sharing your talent with us

Also, huge respect for doing the instruments too!
Great, a new cover from Amiya Aranha 🥰💖

That has to be…
ONE OF THE BEST COVERS I HAVE EVER HEARD

Why didn't you recommend this to me sooner, RUclips!? Better late than never, because this is a great cover.
5 hours from now and I already love it :p
This song on one of your karaokes is how you gripped my interest by the proverbial horns and wrestled it into captivity!
Update: I was right
In certain scenarios, I love the effect that just plugging your guitar in and using the undersaddle transducer gives you. This is one of those.
And you don't understand a shame you seemed a honest bucko... love this cover ami
I keep coming back to this every few days, this is truly a masterwork of performance and mixing, amazing job
I'm going to watch Lain and play this cover once for each episode
lets all love lain-and-amiya
I did not expect to find such a good Duvet - Boa cover
Phenomenal doesn't even begin to describe how good this is. I don't even know what word I could say that could accurately describe how good this is, but I guess phenomenal has to do. Really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really good job Amiya!

Outstanding cover, miss Amiya. Thank you for sharing your talents with the world. 🙏
You absolutely killed it with this cover! Amazing, Ami!
