Fun fact, freckles are apparently considered a cosmetic flaw in many East Asian cultures. I was a little confused why a side character in this movie had a throwaway line about how Bell was pretty in spite of her freckles. With that piece of context I now understand that the freckles becoming a part of her iconic look was supposed to be a bit counter-culture.
Freckles are a respect for "Anne of Green Gables" kzhead.info/channel/PLZj8Ng7r6i0xGAglZgdtpT_1VXwGzcaO4.html
@@tararebaable or perhaps theyre freckles
This is true, i taught english in Asia and was teaching kids words for how we describe people (showing pictures of people with blonde hair, muscular or curvy bodies, wrinkles, etc). I brought up a photo of a fiery redhead with freckles all over her face and they reacted like it was a disease -- i stopped and told them that this is normal and some people find freckles really beautiful!
My sister was also confused by this when we saw the film, and she was pretty unimpressed when I told her why. Understandable, since she has freckles, lol.
Freckles are like kisses from the Sun, I refuse to accept them as a flaw in any capacity.

Lol what I thought it was all one song and I even liked its flow going up and down 🤣
The English singer knocked it out of the park. Just wow, chills.
HI TATSUMAKI😻😻😻😻
What is the name of the English singer?
@@tor13128 Kylie McNeill
True, tho I'm not a fan of Eng Dub but this one hits and just Perfect The original (JP) sing voice sounds deep
@@tor13128 Kylie McNeil. She's wonderful.
The storyline itself isn’t what hits you so hard. It’s the struggle and connection of the characters. I really do love this movie and the music in it.
Yeah. It's why I felt so strong with them. The struggles they went through. The paths and hardships from accepting death, letting someone go, trusting in a person. All those things we faced. I am disappointed in the love part that was dropped but the characters and their struggles of each one hit me so hard. That's what I loved. The connection with them.
It hits me though
I also think that the movie might critizise how child abuse is normalized. I don't think Japan has Child Protective Services, too.
It's will written tho, but many dislikes it for being far from what they expected. Many thought it will be a romantic thingky which is not bc the anime didn't focus on lovestory but on obstacles that the main character experience. TBH I got confused so much bc it though it's gonna be like "Beauty and beast" but it's not. They just get the main idea and totally changed the whole plot and setting and that's what makes it unique ✨. But this anime has so many messages and portrays real life obstacles ; like the app, people uses it to escape reality; the Child Abuse which is a message to Japan bc they neglected that issue; and belle for having longtime sadness, depression, trauma bc she lost her mother and the reason she give up her talent and keeping away her dad and childhood friend bc she thought it's for the best . She lost half her childhood and to become unhappy bc of sorrows.
@@LEOPHITESIt’s also the magic of anime :3
I’m obsessed when she sings the “lalali” lyrics in the first song, it’a so catchy- the songs are so powerful Whoa tyty for all the likes ❤️
It's my favorite song in the whole movie, kind of disappointing that they have the opening narration and exposition over it.
I always heard wanna lie wanna lie wanna lie
i keep trying to find music with a similar into the closest i can find is like shakira
I thought it said "I'm alive" not Lalalai
@@maiyaallred3992 same I thought that too
Oh she'll go *really* far. That's a very, very talented singer.
Nice work you did
You’re gonna go far, kid
But fr who is she
@ x drake It doesn’t show. I googled it. No one popped up
@@justamuffin6688 Kylie something, shes amazing!!
we need more anime like this where the main character actually sings their heart out!!!
Imagine if that happened in attack on titan that would be funny
I recommend "Lost song"
@@ma.althea1886 Every time I listen and sing along to those songs from Lost Song, my voice falters and my heart swells. Not because of the story, but the notes put together pull my strings. 😭
@@joeduckburyofjoeducania4587 Petition for an Attack On Titan musical?
I'm standing on a million lives insert song
I'm still amazed at how similar the Japanese (Kaho Nakamura) and English (Kylie McNeill) voice actors/singers sound in the songs. It's just breathtaking how much emotion both of them put into the songs.
Somebody give this singer and the people involved a Grammy for this masterpiece! It's incredibly difficult to translate a song from one language to another while keeping the rhythm and pace of the original melody.
I hope so too it's rare for a singer to sing close to the Japanese version, they did so well.
Nice,check this out too : kzhead.info/sun/ittsqqubo2iAhKM/bejne.html
I'm sure they thought about that when writing the music. After all anime good enough is destin to be translated to English eventually
@@Aaron_Heininger that's kind of xenophobic.
Grammy sucks with actually giving awards to earned artists so I doubt it’ll happen but she definitely deserves it
I am 58 years old and I went to this movie with my daughter. I wasn't expecting to like it at all. I LOVE IT!!! IT WAS AWESOME!!! I would love to see it again. I love the music so much
I'm glad you loved it!
ISNT IT BRILLIANT???? Not at all what I was expecting!!!
@@picketfenced5771 Yes!!! It's now my favorite!
Good parent! Glad you liked it. Mind if I ask why you weren't expecting to like it at first? I'm kind of curious what would push people away from seeing it.
I love this comment sm
Im telling you, if the plot was about a girl who lost her voice but can sing again in virtual world it would be just so perfect with all these amazing songs
Oh and shinobu was the beast but they would also connect the reason he was like that because of what happened to her.
@@erisveseli i don't think the story would be any better had they made it that way
@@anothenymously7054 At least the plot would be consistent, First It was Belle's rise to fame, Then during one of her concerts, it turns into action because of the beast, Then it turns into a romance when Belle danced with the beast, Then drama tragedy, Its like going through many layers without a proper transition so it feels wrong
@@meowjustme6865 completely agree with you!!!! The story doesn't flow well to the point that I honestly ended up not caring about the characters and what was happening to them 💀☠️ the movie is literally carried by the songs
I think the story sort of does that. While we can want a more magical story, I think the story is fine as is and tedders reality.
Everytime for the song "a million miles away", everytime she sings"" the voice carries one", both japneses and english version, it always give me the shivers. I love that part so much!
same!
It lifts me in joy
Lets be honest No matter how many times this songs are played we get goosebumps for the rest of our lives
Yes😹😹
I feel the same!
My youtube history has been Belle songs, Japanese and English ❤❤❤ I never been so moved by a movie until now.
If I hear this when I’m 20 I’m gonna get the chills like this song is my life
FOR REAL I GOT GOOSEBUMPS WHEN LEND ME YOUR VOICE STARTED PLAYING AND I JUST GOT SO SUCKED IN AND NEXT THING I KNOW I’M CRYING
She sounds identical to her Japanese version its crazy.
my first thought was "omg kudos to the va for being so talented in japanese AND english" but as it turns out its "omg kudos to the eng va for being just as talented to the jp va"
Yeah. Not gonna lie. I thought it was the same person singing both versions 😅. The person who casted Kyle McNeil to play Belle did a great job.
Do you know the anime name?
Belle
No, her voice never trembles or falters, the japanese version is much more emotional, this one is only very powerful, which isn't at all the heroine's character, by the way. I prefer the french version, it's way superior and totally matched Suzu's character.
Favorite parts: 0:05 Lalali, lalai, when our heartbeats collide 1:06 Oh gales, you sing and guide me 2:25 Lend me your voice 3:33 Come back to me
The 4th one is actually at 3:05 A Million Miles Away..!
I think they’re talking about their favorite verse from the songs! That’s just my guess though🥰
I like come back to me the most
What's the 5th song?
THANK YOU!
I love this movie. I know so many people have a lot of negative thoughts about it but to me, it was still enchanting, beautiful, and the story just made sense to me. I love it with all my heart and I cried very hard watching it. Favorite movie now.
same 🥺
I cried too
Crikey, I tear up a little when I just hear the songs... this movie got to me.
We all love Disney's Beauty and the Beast, but Belle just outmatched it by a landslide!!
I can overlook everything except for the strange and illogical behavior of father of the abused kids at the end 😓💔
Her voice is so similar to the original singer... God. It's astounding and gave me goosebumps all over
at first i thought it was just the original singer singing in english, shocked they found someone identical to her voice!

@@AlliandoX coincidence or act of God
@@carsenmaxwell3336 yes
@AkameNoGaKill so far, Australia will be releasing both versions 20th Jan
Some people don't like the movie, because the story is a bit weak, but really it is was about the music. If you let the music carry it, it is very emotional. Worrying about how the virtual world actually works just lessens the enjoyment.
For me it actually fell VERY flat in the real-world segments, to the point where at a few sections I actually checked my watch to see where we were on runtime, which I normally never do. The virtual sequences though I was too visually captivated to overthink it, aside from the Justice guy, he did pull me out of the immersion pretty much every time he was on screen. That said, the music is simply beautiful, during a couple of these songs I felt the emotions very strongly. Just wish the whole movie was able to grip me like that, sadly not enough songs to fill the gaps.
To be fair, the story is fucking terrible. But the music is a straight up 10/10.
I can get over them not explaining how the virtual reality works, but I feel like the child abuse narrative was not appropriately addressed. I didn’t like it going in that direction at all but they should have at least shown them getting actual help. It was irresponsible writing about a serious topic.
@@katelynmiller8866 Yeah! We never even find out what happens to them.
Yeah I didn’t like the story but I still told all my friends to go watch it in theatres, because the visuals and sound track are so good that it needs to be seen in the theatre.
the english version of a million miles away is absolutely tearjerking and so emotional
I feel the same way when it goes “come back and stay”😭
Both english and japanese versions are beautiful 🥰🥰🥰😭😭🤧
YESSSS FR 😭🔥❤❤❤❤

Yeah...her name is Kylie McNeill btw 🤭

@@KartikaAika you are my hero 💜 Now it's time for me to search KZhead for her 😂
I swear anime like this give me back faith in humanity. Movies like Wolf children, Your name, weathering with you and now belle. Shows like Violet Evergarden, fullmetal alchemist brotherhood and assassination classroom legitimately gives me reason to keep on living and being happy. God I love anime so much. I could never see the quality in content and variety from anything in America compared to what Japan gives me.
you had me at the first part. then said that last part. dont compare this to those cheaply made stuff. Japan skips the bill just like america these movies arent made like those shows. that being said: "summer wars", "Boy and The Beast" are by the same guy, oh, and "Girl who Leapt Through Time" (studio Logo) i personally don't really watch anime anymore unless its a movie done by a certain studio
@@tohoni37 I mean I don’t think so. I find a lot of quality on the animation and story of a lot of the anime I listed. Like Violet Evergarden has extremely good animation for being a show it’s on movie standards. But regardless it’s your opinion and your entitled to it.
great choices!
I mean at first I thought the art style of the lady above is an American art style. The song and look totally fit Disney. I never thought it was an anime lol
Assassination classroom was really good
The soundtrack definitely makes this movie. I wish It had better pacing and less jump cuts, but the overall story and the art kinda make up for it.
Same! The art and music is what makes it beautiful, if it wasn’t for that it would honestly be a really inconsistent incomprehensible story. I wish they didn’t go with the whole “it’s a romance story but in a different way” plot twist.
Not gonna lie- holding out hope for an extended version that smooths out the story a bit...
My only real complaint is the resolution between her and her dad being a quick text conversation like girl if you don’t physically go get your dad to confront the man beating his kids.
i really hope she keeps singing songs like this in the future when her career skyrockets, these kinds kf songs are what i think complements her voice really well. you can really feel the emotions and it's as if she's speaking directly to you. exactly like how the characters in the movie felt
It really did after the release of hell paradise

Up for preorder now on Amazon! 😊
3:55 “come back and stay” WILL ALWAYS GIVE ME SHIVERS- I can’t stop playing that part on repeat
😭😭👍
Honestly, I REALLY appreciate how close to the original they got. Usually, English covers sound so vastly different from the original Japanese songs in terms of the lyrics and syllable counts so I'm glad they put in the effort to get it so close
Yeah, and when I see the disaster they made for the French version, I'm glad to have the Japanese and English version to compensate. Seriously... The lyrics are not even close to the power the English and Japanese version hold, and the singer is... Urgh. Dissapointing. So I'm really glad, just like you, that they worked hard on that part.
Welcome to the issues of translation and adaption. In some situations you have to make a tough decision and something will always be lost. At least regards to music
the german one is good too (which is rare these days)
PLS THE ENG VER SOUNDS AMAZING JUST LIKE THE JAPANESE VER. I'm genuinely in love with her voice.
What's even nicer is that she honestly sounds like a teenage girl; she doesn't sound too mature. It matches with Suzu perfectly.
@@romanr.301 yesssss! Fire Emblem: Three Houses is one of the products that I wish followed this

Though I feel left behind sometimes when you close the door We didn't waste our time here it's now or never (Gales of Song) But not that you've gone I have to move on Seems like everyone Just smile staring at the sun But what about me? Tell me how I will know where I should go? Oh gales, you sing and guide me! I walk alone There's more to life I have to know It's just me, lost so far away from home Alone I shut myself in Still the winds howl, they call And their voices lead me Fales of song, guide me through the storm Let the melody life me high, I'll be me [Lend Me Your Voice] It's easy to push me away from you It isn't hard, yes I know that's what you'll say It's what you have told yourself over and over again In darkness You try to hold back all the thoughts Lend me your voice Let me see your face Let me start to show you what I see Bring me close Let me come and sit by the fire Just let me come close to your heart (A Million Miles Away) Light glimmers in a flower Like jewels in a dream The sky breathes life Love to everything Come back to me, and stay by my side I feel my heart shake Come, ease this ache I'm standing over here, reaching for you A million miles away Come back and stay Sing, let your heart soar! Sing forever! Sad and so happy! Feelings flow over, now Our world is full of all kinds of colors Closing my eyes I still can see the stars Shine in the sky, sing their harmony Flowers, they're blooming Oh it's beautiful Sing this song, I won't stop now Sing it through, I love you The voice carries on

A million miles away hits so different, I was at the cinema last night with my friends and we all cried at this part 🙏😭
Me too!! I was bawling in the cinema and still do every time i hear these 2 songs again. And of course did again, watching this video
Haven’t heard a voice this angelic in so long…. This lifted my spirits
Ikr! I can't believe the singer only has 2k followers
I too have lost someone and something, and felt all of Suzu’s anxiety attacks very relatable. The way anxiety can build up and hit out of nowhere. The way it can manifest into loss of voice, stomachaches/vomiting, or simply “crying all the time”. How everyone secretly wants to be the center of attention at all times; but when we are truly raw and vulnerable, the vultures swoop in and nitpick. I think this movie shows mental health in a beautiful manner. I love how it wasn’t a classic princess love story and how the filmmakers made it in touch with today’s age of social media and virtual reality. I hope everyone knows that they are loved and valued and respected and supported even with all their “flaws” or past mistakes. Go watch Belle. 10/10 movie~
Now i really REALLY wanna watch the movie my gods😅
Same thing. Seeing suzu deal with the loss was relatable and watching her get to a good place was tearjerkingly heartwarming.
i cant believe it took me a month to realize that there were different songs in this... the medley flowed so seamlessly that i couldnt quite tell which song was being played

Kinda wish it wasn't 😐
My grandma passed away last night, and the first the thing which came up to my mind, was literally a million miles away. Since she was a huge part of my growing-up formation, the first part thoroughly makes me wish those things to happen, and hits me harder than ever even after watching this movie months ago. Even so, the second part truly makes me picture how she culminated her journey with her lessons on seeing the bright side and carrying on since it's what matters at the end of the day. I'll miss her so much, and this song besides of being one of the best I've ever listened to, brings back my granny by making me remember her sheer passion of live-in. In addition, I will always recommend this movie since it's personally one of the most underrated, and even though the movie can be clumsy on the writing side, its wholeheartedly passion to make art that can be felt, is what personally stands out the most at the end of the day.

There’s a lot of issues with that now a days. Voice actor unions are highly liberal radicals. Plus, she will have a lot harder time with the blackwashing of characters to appease the status quo. Most likely, the Japanese produces choose Kylie for her skill, talent and voice.

I agree
That would be cool if there would be a German dub
Ich hoffe es. Die Tatsache das man sich die Mühe gemacht hat eine englische Übersetzung für die Songs zu schreiben gibt mir Hoffnung das man sie auch auf deutsch macht so wie bei Zombieland Saga wo die die Songs auch mit übersetzt haben im englischen und es auch in der deutschen synchro machen. Is so lange her das man die Liedtexte mit übersetzt hat für nen Anime
YES that'd be awesome, me and my mom are German and both love to sing so we'll greatly appreciate a German Dub of this ^^
Ich hab ehrlich gesagt schiss davor, selten dass deutsche Synchros so toll werden 🙈 aber die Englische ist echt gigantisch!
I can not express properly how much I freaking LOVE this movie. The music and the songs struck me like never before, beautiful voice acting and singing and I ain't gonna lie a couple of the songs did make me tear up a bit.
I watched the English dubbed version of this movie this week and I'm impressed. Not only that it tackles various issues and discusses about various themes, but it touches the heart of the viewer.
Hats off to Kylie Mcniell. What an absolutely GORGEOUS voice. I really hope this movie can be the start of big things for her. 10/10 performance.
The lalalai part is veryyyyyyyy~ hard to pull off, considering the fact that the tempo's fast and that you need to hit the high note without breaking your voice and without stammering. I know because I tried to sing along with this song, and it really is challenging. Kudos to the singer, you did an excellent job! ✧◝(⁰▿⁰)◜✧
It's a damn shame that the rest of the movie couldn't have been as good as the music. I want so damn badly to love this movie. The music is far and away some of the best I've heard in a long time. Unfortunately, there's just too many rushed plot points with unsatisfying conclusions (or lack thereof) tied together by poorly placed scenes that do little to build the world. It almost feels like Belle tried to fuse three separate movies into one, without giving any of them enough room to bloom.
But hey though, at least they tried. I bet the next generation will profound these feelings and passion much more understable.
Yeah, I thought overall it was fine. The beauty and the beast half felt a little forced compared to the rest.
I agree. Hmmmm - maybe a netflix series to explore the responsibilities...
Idk if you watch many japanese movies but ghibli movies are the same. They are confusing and open ending. I like it way more than watching a whole plot with an end. The open endings just are weird and unsatisfying BUT for kids... they play their own endings of the movie with their dolls. It leaves open for so much more fantasy of our own. I find japanese movies more realistic. You don't always become the big well known saviour to everybody. Sometimes only a few know what you did. Not everybody "blooms" which makes it much easier for me to get into that character too. Most scenes are just foreshadowing what is to come but in a time delayed matter so you vaguely remember smth and at the end of the movie it all makes sense. Though that is my opinion and you got yours and that's fine
@@nomoredream7689 Sometimes Ghibli movies seem to end like Disney's The Sword and and Stone - they ran out of budget and it just stops... Kiki comes to mind.
I live in Japan. I listened to the live performance of the theme song "U". The music group "millennium parade" who composed this song is wonderful. I want many people to listen to this song in many languages.

When I watched the movie, I had goosebumps so many times. When Belle was singing on the whale, when the crowd sang along to her at the end, when Suzu hugged Kei and Tomo. The animation, the plot, the characters, the song, they're all so amazing!
WHERE TO WATCH OMLLL

中村佳穂さんのそのままの雰囲気の英語バージョンのカイリー・マクニールさん。感情が乗った歌声に涙が溢れました😭😭😭１０代でこの表現力とは驚きです！この方がbelle役に充てられた奇跡に感謝します!!✨✨🌹✨✨👏👏👏
本当素晴らしい ＣＤ欲しくなってしまった
このコメント見るまで本人が英語バージョンとして歌ってるのかと😳 歌声もだけど世界かんまでリスペクトしてくれてるんだなぁ〜✨
英語の歌詞作った人は間違いなく言語の天才だと思う。
The truth is, I was amazed by this movie and I adore it, after the Oscars in which the Mitchells lost I ran into people mentioning Belle and gave it a try...It was amazing and I don't regret watching it ;)
The soundtrack will come out January 14th as well! (:
Yesss! Can't wait!
I got on weeks ago to buy some of your beautiful songs and was so sad I couldn't find them yet. Will definitely be buying them come Jan 14th!
Thank you so much
You did such an amazing job I’m truly touched 🥺💗
You did amazing!
She sounds like a Disney princess, this is perfect casting
I'm not sure that is a compliment. 😉 The farther away from Disney it is the better in my op. I prefer japanese anime over the bland Disney movies. They all looks and sound the same.
@@Ebhen1 This is by no means me defending Disney, but, as a huge entertainment corporation, Disney generally does a pretty good job at securing people who are actually good at singing for their musical numbers (which at Disney's size, is a very bare-minimum accomplishment and not particularly impressive). While Disney is a questionable company (I will be the first in the queue to admit that), what's not questionable is the talent of the people singing in their movies. Also, people often say the exact same thing about Japanese anime that you are saying to complain about Disney. And anyway, Belle indeed does look like a Disney princess, eye proportions and everything; it is almost uncanny.
@@romanr.301 That is true. The songs and the singers are often really good.
@@Ebhen1 Belle is so clearly intended to be a Disney princess that they hired the man who has helped design every Disney princess in the last ten years to design her, so it is 100% what they’re going for.
@@erincampbell7214 you mean from the 80-90s. Everything started going to hell with princess and the frog.
OMG!! when she sings " the voice carries on" her accent makes me goosebumps. What an incredible voice!. I was crying while watching this scene.
I love belle’s character design it’s so beautiful and her voice is absolutely amazing huge props to the actress
Wonderfully cast. When I first heard the dub reveal of Gales of Song I almost wondered if the Japanese actress went and sang in English as the notes, pitches etc the dub actress can reach are so similar. Beautifully done. Gales of Songs gave me goosebumps the way the Japanese version does.
Me too, but it's Kylie McNeill. Their voice tones are incredibly similar
I can't wait to ugly cry at "A million miles away" again!
I do think Kylie's voice was more powerful and a little creative with how she sang
I'm so glad they found an English singer that could match Kaho Nakamura's voice. I didn't think it possible they'd find the talent and translate the songs well enough but miracles do happen. This is fantastic! :D
Gods, this gives me goosebumps. It's so powerful, I always feel like I'm on the verge of tears, especially when she sings "I'll be me".
She has a beautiful voice! I love how she can make lyrics sound good even when it doesn't rhyme
Don’t necessarily think a song with good content necessarily NEEDS to rhyme That’s kinda like the frosting on the cake
I hope Gales of Song wins an Oscar for Best Song. It's amazing.
No paso a la preselección final de la categoría de mejor canción
Translation please
@@AnimeGirl4891 it didn' go through the final selection for the Best Song Award
What?! But it’s a great song. Why not put it in the category?
@@AnimeGirl4891 because the academy decided that there were better songs
When I first heard the English singing voice, my girlfriend and I assumed it was the JP singer. THAT is how uncannily similar they are - the fact they found someone that could match that same beautiful tone, the same emotions...incredible.
Audiovisual masterpiece from out of this world - Japan yet again teaches us how it's done!
The high pitch note is done well perfectly my goodness
息の継ぎ方や裏返り方は中村さんの歌い方に寄せてるのかな？全然違和感がない！そして素晴らしい歌唱力！！ 是非、フルバージョンを聞いてみたいです。
中村さん英語うっま！！！って思ったら違う方だった！ めちゃくちゃ歌上手いし、英語苦手だけど、日本語リピートしまくった後だから歌詞の意味とか理解しやすくて、感情もスっと入ってきた！英バージョンで映画見てみたくなった！素敵！
the animation of this movie is truly outstanding, I don't think I can say so for the story though. It wasn't bad, but some things just didn't make sense it felt kind of rushed. For example, I felt like the film should have told more about Suzu's life and story other then focus more on "Belle" and the "Beast". The child abuse part was just out of nowhere, and I thought it was going to be a love story between the two for how they made it seem, but in reality the beast was just some kid with his brother. I wished the beast was Shinobu, so at least it would make a bit more sense on how Shinobu suddenly found out Suzu was Belle, and they could have possibly ended up together but lol, in the end it wasn't a terrible film the story could have been better though. (This is just my opinion, please no hate I do not speak for everyone.)
The movie is terrifically bad. Possibly the worst japanese animated film ever made. I cannot believe all the positive reviews its getting.
Personally, I'll hate if the twist is that Shinobu was actually the Beast. Imagine how cheap it is that despite of billions of users, this one mysterious user is actually your childhood friend from the same rural town
I partially agree, the child abuse kinda fit the "irl" theme of overcoming trauma, but could've been done better. Personally, I didn't feel like it was resolved. The older brother (whose name I forgot) said no matter what was said or done to the dad nothing ever changed and they never showed any resolution to the abuse. I would've liked the story to be more romance centered, but being different isn't inherently bad, but the execution of it could've been better.
Yeah I would've love if it was about finding your true identity in the world instead of a modern like beauty and the beast lol
@@aeroga2383 Plotwise, I agree that it was very subpar. The animation and music was so good that it saved it for me though.
So after listening to the soundtrack, I can surmise this is a musical. About, a girl who is suffering from some kind of grief stricken depression and goes to the digital world to find some kind of outlet and ends up befriending someone else who kind of understands what she needs or how she feels. And there's this motif about a gale song that comes back constantly and changes eventually finding its resolution and she finds piece with herself.
Well yeah. You got a lot right
The Japanese vers made me cry, the English one is leaving me a mess of tears on the floor. Really well translated lyrics!! (I'll probably want to watch this in both languages. They're both gorgeous!)
I relate. This song is playing with my heart.
I was worried about the songs if they planned to do an English dubbed of this movie. After seeing this video....I WANT THE DVD NOW!!!!! The ones who did this English dub hit the mark and the match the mood of the original Japanese version.
This is one of those anime I will definitely be watching in both Japanese and English forever.
One sad thing about the English dub / Japanese subtitles is one of the most important dialogues is changed at the end. It upset me actually as i felt it was very important for two characters.
@@SATCH1R0 Yeah true I felt the same way
日本語バージョンと声や歌い方、全体的な雰囲気が似てるから、聞き馴染みがあって良いね。
Million Miles Away still gets me 😢
Not gonna lie but 0:50 was smooth af
The English cover of the millennium parade is so well sung. The breathe control you need to maintain a song like that. Wow
I hope the singer gets more roles in more movies in the future.
I loved the story, the music. This film was a masterpiece. Moved me to tears.❤
英語バージョン良かった〜！ 日本語版の最後で「愛してる」っていう「I LOVE YOU」の響きが最高だった💘
この方も中村佳穂さんと同じくらい高レベルな歌声だからか、全く違和感がない、、 むしろ感動で鳥肌が止まらなかった、、
このコメ見るまで中村さんかと思ってました笑 全く違和感ないし日本語の元の雰囲気を大切にしてくれてるのかと思うと感動です
@@user-yk8og1im4r 声そっくりですよね😂
@yu na 雰囲気ほんとそっくりですよね！！ オーディションで選出された、カイリー・マクニールという方らしいです！ 早くフルで聴きたい😆
このコメみるまで中村佳穂さんだと思ってました、、、すごすぎる、、、、、
本人じゃないんですか？ 声質が完全に一致している（笑） すごいっすね
Man... her voice is making my eyes sweat and that's when I haven't watched the film yet! I was just listening to this first! Hot damn the singer is incredibly talented
"The sky breathes life, love to everything." Is such a raw freaking line like when I first knew that was the english translation (for the song) I had chills. It feels so simple yet it means so much.
他の方のコメントを読むまで、てっきり中村さんが歌ってるのだと思ったくらいの違和感のなさ。 楽曲の良さと歌声がこんなにも響き合うなんて！ この映画に出会えたことは人生の中でもかなりの宝物です。
It is so incredibly difficult to translate lyrics, have them make sense, and carry the same tonality... but I think they do a pretty decent job. Very interesting to hear the stylistic changes in singers, you can definitely hear where Kylie McNeil chooses to use a head-chest mix in parts where the original singer flips entirely to head voice. You can hear it at 4:39 on sing, def think Kylie is using a mix here where the original singer is in head voice. Other singers, what do you think? Am I talking crazy?
I'm no singer, but I'm close to a few, married into a musician family, and I'm listening to these differences myself. I've been trying to pick a favorite version of these songs between Kylie and Kaho, specifically to decide which version to see in theaters in a few weeks, but I'm having a hard time figuring out which versions carry the most weight because each singer's interpretation and performance is so close and yet so unique to her. I may see both, but trying to decide where to start!
@Jablink The IMAX near me is only screening the Japanese version with subtitles, so that's the version we're going with. Truly, it was Kaho's renditions of 心のそばに and はなればなれの君へ that sealed the deal for me. I look forward to seeing the English and French versions as well since I'm fortunate enough to mostly speak those languages too (the French hasn't been used in a decade so it's incredibly rusty... on the list to fix soon, and I truly think this movie will help!). Anyway, I really lucked out with the translations for this movie since I speak at least a little of all of them, so I look forward to comparing all of them once I'm done. Bonus that I get to work on those languages at the same time.
I’ve been waiting to hear the English version just to hear these differences! There are moments especially at the end when listening to Japanese where I was thinking, oh for the US they’re going to make the poor actress belt her face off. Both versions are so beautiful though
@@Kekoa552 I did a quick read of the differences to make my decision, and IMAX comes down to a bigger screen with a heightened audio experience. Considering that this movie is all about the beautiful visuals and soundtrack, it seemed like a no-brainer to pick the IMAX version.
Translating songs and having them still work is soooo hard! I hear what you're saying about 4:39, tone wise I think I hear Kylie keeping a lot of the sound in her chest, compared to how she sings the final note in the song. I still prefer the tone of Kaho Nakamura (Japanese voice actress) but for an American audience Kylie's voice actually works better in my opinion.
I cried watching the movie the first in Japanese, still trying to find a dubbed version. I stumbled across this and man... I started tearing up again... The music and the rhythm and the words... There's just so much in them... I think I'm going to make myself cry again thinking too hard on them, I'll just add, the English singer was amazing, and I love her voice, she is so freaking talented and I hope she lands more roles.
My favorite song in Belle is lend me your voice. she has such a pretty voice
This is the most faithful and beautiful dub I have ever heard. Mad respect.
The songs were done beautifully, but when Million Miles Away played: Now that’s a pro gamer move. Usually the english covers just don’t sound as good phonetically (obviously) but I think they did a wonderful job with these pieces. Can’t wait to introduce this film to people who were avoiding it simply because it was in Japanese!
That was the song I was most worried for. It helps that they understand their audience. We anime fans don't mind a translation that's a little wonky as long as it sounds like the original and manages its own charm.
Special Fact:I had the feeling that,I felt very comfortable and amazed,that the Japanese version singer for Belle and her singing tone are Special,including they made: CGI,Design Graphics,Visual and Special Effects are SO Enjoyable,rather than the things that Disney couldn't do!!And the why I cried and Love this Anime Movie SO Much!💝🌹
All the songs in Belle are amazing ❤️❤️
Kylie did such a phenomenal job with this movie. I hope she goes really far in the future.
It’s her first time voice acting too!
I absolutely love her voice. I’d love to hear her in other stuff!
This song... It touches you. It's crazy! And I'm not a fan of music/song movies. Heck I wasn't even a high school musical fan. But this....this was something else.
