i made the mistake of putting this on halfspeed when typing up the lyrics (because i'm a dumbbutt and didn't want to find the gdoc) and lets just say it wasn't a good idea don't do it looping this forever how am i gonn sleep tonight lolololll

"Money can't buy you happiness!" Yeah, but it can buy this lady the medicine for her freaking soulmate and then they could be happy! THROW MONEY AT YOUR SCREEN

smh len can you go *one* song without dying

Rin - "If there's a day when I am not the same, not human anymore, would you still be here with me; would you still love me as you did before?" Len - "But of course; keep my promise to embrace you. Without wings, I'll love you even more." Rin - "Okay wow I came here to have a good time and I'm honestly feeling attacked right now."

I usually don't like English covers, but, God, your voices were so beautiful together, and the English lyrics were different enough to not sound like a direct translation yet stay true to the story. You, good sir and madam, have my respect. *applause*

oh heck when ham's voice kicked in i seriously started tearing up right away. you guys sound so pretty together i'm dying

*before video pep-talk* "I am a tough child. I won't cry." 1:33 *already sobbing* "GOD DAMN IT VOCALOIDS"

@0:46"smile" that is most def my favorite syllable i mean DAMN that vibrato //ok i'll gtfo now

"babe would you still love me if I was a crane?" but on a whole new level. (half-joking)

I love the desperation conveyed in the latter half of the song. It's just amazing how well the emotions come across.

When Lucy gets to the high part with the harmony she sounds kinda like Rin XD

Old Stories of Japan つるのおんがえし Tsurunoongaeshi Crane's Repaying Kindness The Fairy Crane Long ago, there was a poor young man who was burning charcoal in the mountain. It happened on a cold winter day when a light snow was falling. The young man went out to town to buy a futon with the money that he had been saving for a long time. He went down the mountain with a bouncing heart and, from within a bush at his side, there was a rustling sound. "I wonder, if there is a fox or something?" Quietly he looked into the situation, and saw a big white wing. "It's a crane. The crane is caught in a trap. Wait, wait. Now I will rescue you." The young man felt sorry for the crane, He tried to take the trap off of the leg. And then, a hunter appeared. "What are you doing. You dare to snatch my game?" The hunter glared at the young man. "Because it is miserable, can you please set it free? If not, I have money here. Wouldn't you sell the crane to me?" The young man handed the hunter the money for buying the futon. "So, don't come back again to this place." The young man said that, and set the crane free into the sky. "Kuu... (sound of crane)." The crane sang happily, and and went around in big circles over the young man's head, and dissapeared into the sky. He sent off the crane, and he had no more business to go to the town. The young man slowly returned to the mountain, the way he had come. It happened the morning of the next day. A beautiful girl who he had never seen before approached. And then, "Please make me your bride", she said. "Of course not. As you can see I am a poor charcoal maker. If I have a bride, I can not even feed her." The young man refused, but the girl said "If you will take me for your bride, no matter how poor we are I don't mind," she said like that, and came to live with the young man. The young man's life completely changed. When he woke up in the morning, there was already a warm fire burning in the fireplace. When washing his face, "Breakfast is ready," his pretty wife called. His wife knows very well the delicious food in the mountain, and prepares it well. She also keeps the inside of the house clean, and her work goes on and on. "The wife coming to my place is like a dream." The young man seems to be happy. It happened one day. "While cleaning the hut behind the house, I found a dusty loom. May I please weave? However, while I am weaving, please never look inside," his wife said, and entered the hut, and closed the door. Night and day, he heard the sound of weaving from within the hut. "Aren't you hungry? Why don't you take a little rest and eat a meal?" the young man worried, and offered his wife from outside. But, there was no reply. The young man became more and more worried. He tried to open the door to the hut several times, but he remained patient. On the fourth day, finally his wife came out from inside the hut. His wife was quite thin, and felt dizzy. He felt that she had become thin and weak, and that her neck was too long. "Inside the hut, there is cloth that I finished weaving. Please go to town and sell it. Someone will buy it at a very high price." "That doesn't matter at all. I am worried about your condition," the young man said, and his wife smiled. "Please don't worry about me. Now, hurry and please do what I said." The young man went out to town, carrying the cloth. On seeing the cloth, the storekeeper was surprised. "Great, this is wonderful. I have never seen such a cloth. I will pay you 80 ryou, no, 100 ryou. Next time if you bring more, I will buy it for 200 ryou. In front of him, 100 ryou of gold coins were piled up, the young man was so surprised that his body shook. "Finally fortune has turned to me too! When I return home, I will make her weave clothes again soon." In the pack on his back, there was the very heavy 100 ryou's money. It is money which I have never seen before. The young man's heart changed completely. When he returned to his home in the mountains, The young man's eyes brightened while, he told the story to his wife. "Just once more. Then let's go to town together, and build a big mansion, and live a funny and interesting life forever." "I want to keep our life as it is from now on, together with you. I never want to go to town and so forth" the wife quietly said. But the young man did not understand her. "You said like that, so I will weave only one more time again. Also next time until I weave the cloth, please never look in." The wife said like that, and again entered into the hut. Giii pattan gigiii pattan (sound of weaving) From inside the hut, he could hear the sound of the loom weaving. The young man didn't realize that the sound was weaker than before. The young man lay down in front of the fireplace, and drank sake while waiting. Giii pattan gigiii pattan (weaving sound) Then, even though it came to be the evening of the fourth day, the loom was still sounding. "I wonder why she is so slow." The young man stood up, and secretly opened the door of the hut, and looked inside. "Wow! What is this?" The young man was surprised and petrified. Amazingly, inside the hut there was one slender crane weaving intently. With its bill, the crane was pulling out feathers from its body one by one, and was weaving the cloth from them. "Now at last, I finished weaving. But, because you see me in this appearance, I can not stay here anymore. I am the crane that received help from you. So, take this cloth to town, and please live happily. Goodbye." Saying that the crane, painfully spread her plucked wings, "Kururuuu" she cried once and took off into the sky. "I don't even need money. I was bad. As until now, let's live together in the mountain. So, therefore, please come back." While weeping the young man, faced into the sky and kept shouting forever.

After several years, I came back to listen to this cover again. "And as always, for forever, 'til the end, I'll love it as before" :^D

Happy 1 million views, everyone!! As ham so aptly put it, "1 MILLION BROKEN HEARTS BLESS..." Thanks for joining us on this wild ride, y'all!

did anyone else cry at the end? :'(

wow...this video's gonna turn 8 years old really soon how far we've come

It's almost 2022 and I still listen to this song every day

This is literally the best romance song I've ever heard and "when you sing everything's beautiful" literally describes how beautiful your voices are in this video, (also hello to a fellow Lucy ^^)

The note of *gently* at 1:46 is everything

I know that the actual story is really sad, but I don't like sad stuff, so here's a happier interpretation: So Rin is actually the crane that Len saved, yeah that's still the same. Yada yada, Len gets sick and Rin weaves with her feathers, yada yada. However, instead of at the end they both die, I'm just going to keep telling myself that Rin actually made enough money just in time to cure Len, except she grew weak since she wasn't taking care of herself. However, now Len is healthy, and so at the end he's promising that after Rin took care of him when he was weak, he'll take of her now and that she can finally rest and stop overworking herself. DON'T TELL ME DIFFERENTLY. LET ME BE HAPPY. LET ME DREEAAMMMMM ;-;

Here from Hu Tao pulls, just now realizing you sang in this cover I've loved for the past year. Crazy small world!!!!

Oh my... YING, I DIDN'T KNOW THAT YOU WERE THE ONE WHO SANG THIS WITH HAM YEARS AGO. aaaaaaaahhh this has always been my fave English cover of this song. 🥺

WHY DO I JUST FOUND THIS NOW?! SO MUCH FEELSSS ;;;; great job guys

Len can you do me a favor and live in one of your songs other then childish war Or at least stop making me cry

I remember listening this as a kid I didn't even know the story behind the song and I always listen to this since the vocals are amazing but when I found out the story I even got more addicted to this song until now my day would not be complete without listening to this

WE HIT 20 K YAAAAaaEEEEEe

I can't believe it's been 6 years, and I still hum this song to myself. I always forgot what song it is until I remember the lyrics, and the nostalgia just pours over.

THIS IS SO SAD :(((( PERFECT LYRICS PERFECT VOICE PERFECT COVER I LOVE YOU GUYS

I swear in all songs Len die. Like the only ones where he doesn't the song is sexual. Daughter of Evil. Not sexual he dies. Straight faced science girl. Sexual but he doesn't die. Len if you want to live I guess you should just be in some kind of hentai. Spice.... definitely sexual....

2021, been listening to this for months. Still gets emotional about it.

beautiful as always

How the hell does Ham do such an amazing male voice? I must learn...

And in a alternate timeline Len is a crazy yandere.

I am so happy to have finally found this song again after looking for years. It's a song that reminds me of the few good memories of school and just makes me so happy finding it and listening to it again. Thank you for making this cover

I was hooked into your new videos and didn't realise that the English cover I was obsessed with since 6th grade was actually made by you until now TT

This is literally the most beautiful thing ever i'm nOT CRYING YOU ARE

My god Len Is it too much to ask that you go 1 song without dying?

AHHHH over 800,000!!!!!! I've literally listened to this song trying to hit all the notes but its not easy when your range is from Rui to Meiko and all over the place........ you both did amazing and I look forward to more collabs like this!!! you two made this song that much more real to me! great job and keep up the beautiful singing!!

It's been 8 years and this is still one of maybe five songs that made me tear up when first hearing it

Genuinely crying. This is the most heartbreaking piece of music I’ve ever heard… it’s beautiful. Bravo.

every single time i listen to this i cry like literally tears

NO THEY CANT BOTH BE DEAD I WONT ACCEPT IT

.... They got the medicine, right? .... Right?

No matter how many times i'll watch it, i'll always have to cry at 4:14 T_____T

I'm pure crying no sorry not crying BALLING THATS HOW SAD IT IS😭

AAAHHHH THIS SONG AND A COVER OF IT FROM YOU AND HAM FRICK FINALLY FRICK

I've been waiting for this forever. Ham as Len... such perfection. Amazing.

I can't believe first thing in the morning and I'm already crying (all the chills, and tears, and -snot- oh wait you didn't need to know that). OTL DIDN'T NEED TO CRY BUT I CERTAINLY NEEDED THIS IN MY LIFE. //strokes Lucy and Ham's voices. Uguuuu. ;; A;;

-crying quietly- Hey, who left this bowl of onions?! (Great cover! One of the best ones I've heard!)

This the first video I've ever watched of yours and I don't know why I haven't found your account up until now. *Subscribed* :D

"Keep my promise to embrace you. Without wings, I'll love you even more." This is a great translation, I love it.

omg....why do you do this to me seriously?? I'm crying so hard god. I love this song too much, and BOOM I saw this in my subscription box TToTT whyyy this is so beautiful you two hit this song!! it's amazing, everything, the mix, the lyrics, the voices! this is perfection

me: wow i heard gr8 things about this song, lets listen *song over* me: *sobbing* THIS IS WHY I DON'T LEAVE MY COMFORT ZONE OF 4 SONGS

I FORGOT ABOUT THIS SONG ITS SO PRETTY AAAAA

Thank u sm for covering this, such a masterpiece, this will always be my fav song ever TT Im so inlove with this we actually performed (a drama) this in school (using ur cover) and got full marks! T___T

Rewatching once again, still love it.

this song gives me chills

I just realized that (Major Yona of the Dawn spoilers) This is literally Zeno and Kaya's relationship in song form.... except instead of the man dying it's the woman and it's a Dragon instead of a crane...also only one of them dies in the end... Kaya even dies of what is likely the exact same freaking illness (probably tuberculosis) for God's sake! And now I really want someone to make an animation/AMV for that even though it would absolutely destroy me.

This art style with this melodic voice makes this whole thing so much better.

I remember that I cried so hard when I first saw this. The music in the background was painful to listen while seeing the images,but is beautiful.

does anyone have some toast cause this is my jam

forever my favourite ver of this song

years later still one of my favorite songs! I've always loved this piece and the story behind it. So when I first found this piece I was ecstatic! Came on my rewatch list and still just as satisfying to this day. Such a perfect cover I love it!

I started this video, heard the voice, and was instantly blown away. I've never hit the like button faster. I was looking for a good English cover of this song, and you did not disappoint. "When you sing, everything is beautiful"

From the thumbnail picture it looks like Len's trying to choke Rin.

Holy shit my feels are on a rollercoaster here XD ;-; This song is BEAUTIFUL and you two sung it amazingly perfect UwU I didn't like this ship before, but *_damn._* It's like my freaking OTP now.

Oh my god this is absolutely beautiful and I got MAJOR chills listening to it ;A;

DUDE...THE ENDING!!!!!its justy uggh BRAVO!BRAVO!!

Wait, so, Rin was a crane who became a human because she fell in love with Len and then Len got sick so Rin used all of her feathers to weave clothing to sell so she could get medicine for him? Someone please explain!

Let me see if I got the story right. A poor couple live alone in a village and are very happy, then the husband falls ill and the wife works day and night at the loom to make enough money to save him. But after another winter he dies and all her efforts were in vain... I both love this beautiful song but hate it for making me cry.

Everytime i listen to this song i feel like crying. Its such a beautiful song. Its soo amazing how there can be people who will love you no matter what flaws you may have

Even years later, this shit makes me so emotional. It honestly makes me cry on the inside.

The people who have disliked this was the people who was crying so much that they didn't know which one was the like button and which one was the dislike button I refuse to believe someone could hate this video!

This should be an anime. It would be sadder than Clannad: After Story

It has been years but I never truly recovered after hearing this cover…

Absolutely beautiful!!! Both the story and your voices gave me CHILLS! Especially when you both sang your different parts at the same time, I could feel the love between the two characters and that's what made it real for me!! THANK YOU!!

I love this song 😍❤️ it is very interesting

My only reaction was a pained "Ouch" as I clutched my chest because of all the feels from this song

Can't believe I just found out about this cover, it was so beautiful

the rhymes in your lyrics are just beautiful

Whos in 2020 tryin to find this beatifull song in spotify 🖐 🤧

HOW IN THE FUCK DID ALL THESE ONION CUTTING NINJAS GET IN HERE?!? ,>~

I listen to this like every day and I always end up crying.......SO BEAUTIFUL!!!!

This has to be one i the most beautiful yet tragic love story's I've heard in a long time, i know the backstory so when i heard how you made the song in English i listened and shed a few tears, amazing job

Is it bad that I laughed at Rin's face at 2:25?

Got a advertisement about toilets before this...

THEM FEELS MAN THEM FEELS!!!....now that is devotion right there.

I'm crying.. 😩😭😭

Is this based off that Crane story in Japanese Mythology. Where a guy rescues a crane a little while later a beautiful women shows up on his doorstep. They run into money problems. The wife starts to make these amazing dresses. she instructs the husband never to enter the room when she is weaving. The husband does enter the room anyway and sees the crane riping out her feathers.

At least The crane got a better love life than me (at least the beginning

This song makes me cry no matter how many times I listen and I think of the saying "money can't buy you happiness" maybe not everything but no matter what, it can't buy love your true love 😭😭

I literaly cried....your beautiful voice killed my heart and soul :')

my heart cracked a little😟

hey, I was just wondering if it would be possible to use this cover for a media project I am doing at college :) I understand if you don't want me to

I have finally found this.... THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR DOING THIS I SEARCHED SO LONG FOR THIS AND NOW I FOUND IT AND ITS AMAZING AND IM KINDA FREAKING OUT OVER HOW PERFECT IT IS. *takes deep breath* seriously though it's amazing and does the song justice.

To call this song beautiful is truly an understatement. A work of art might just touch on the truth. Thank you for this masterpiece.
