producers probably thinking: "Thank God you can all sing."

dunno why i cry while listening to this childhood memory song, maybe life of an adult to harsh for me TT

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.

R.I.P Wada Kouji & thank you for this wonderful song... truly be missed but never forgotten...

To the singer and all casts, THANK YOU SO MUCH TO GAVE US PERFECT CHILDHOOD!

Isn't it strange how almost whole childhood can fit into one song?

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.

2024年でも聞いてる人✋

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.

This is not just a song, it's a legacy.

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.

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

悪いと思うけど、僕はこの時のかすれながら和田光司さんが頑張って出してる声が大好き、この声は、今生きてる人に勇気と元気を与える気がする、それとほんと和田さんが好き、ただ和田さんのコンサートに行けないのがほんとに悲しい、ただこの名曲と会えたことが人生の中の一つの幸せ

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.

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

Digimon has taught me many things like nothing lasts forever even the friends you made along the way. So, Thank you Digimon for everything o7

Goosebumps. Literal Goosebumps. My childhood , what a heaven it was

I can't stop my tears... the feeling of nostalgia.... I love Digimon the most

You gain even more respect, especially when you know the meaning of the lyrics. I really think it's a classic.

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.

[English Translation] In the empty world after an endless dream, Yes, it seems even my precious thoughts will fail me, But even with these unreliable wings full of lingering images, I’m sure I can fly, oh, yeah... In the empty world after an endless dream, Yes, it seems even my precious thoughts will fail me, But even with these unreliable wings full of lingering images, I’m sure I can fly, on my love! VERSE I’ll become a happy butterfly, riding the glittering wind, And come and see you soon, You’d be better off forgetting all your problems, This is no time to joke around. I wonder - whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa - What will reach the sky? But - whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa - I don’t even know what I’m doing tomorrow. CHORUS In the empty world after an endless dream, Yes, it seems even my precious thoughts will fail me, But even with these unreliable wings full of lingering images, I’m sure I can fly, on my love! 00:23

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.

This brings back so many memories! I love this song so much!

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.

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 everybody sang together I had to fight the tears

30代後半やけど、昔思い出しながら酒飲んでます。明日仕事やけど、聞きたくて,,. 活力上がるから、アップしてくれありがとございます😂

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

As a kid I didn't even listen to the original japanese version, but for some reason, listening to this one makes me feel nostalgic.

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!

Joe's killing It! My God.

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...

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.

after seen Kizuna movie, listen this song and specially when everyone said their partner names make my cry... that hurts... to much

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

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

It's 2024... I'm 40 years old and I still cry listening to this song. The feelings this song brings to me are always overwhelming.

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.

anyone 2099 and still listening to this 🫠

dunno why but their voices while singing this song touch my heart and ma soul and honestly i didn't finish this show back then

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.

Originally, I was listening to some political news and opinions about my country, then this started playing while I was in the bathroom (my cat probably stepped on my laptop when I was doing my business lol) I haven't seen the movie but... yeah, Digimon Adventure was that particular show I was always excited about when coming home from school 🥲 Man so many memories suddenly went rushing back, the times I even pester my best friend to come watch the show with me convincing his granny with puppy eyes just to let him come over but tells us to do our homework first (eventually finishing the homework after the episode for that day is done most of the time 🤣) and playing Yu-Gi-Oh and that turn based Digimon game on the PS1. Darn. I suddenly missed the good old days. My best friend already moved to a better country and met his life partner, while I stayed in our country working a 7-4 job 5 days a week. To any kid who actually read through my long *** rant, just enjoy the moment with friends, family and loved ones while preparing for the future. Don't forget to keep in touch with them as well from time to time even if you guys become time-zone apart 👌

The fact that most people dont realise AiM voices Mimi shows how well she can sing “in character”

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...

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.

eventually we all grow up. But still thanks for becoming one of my childhood pieces

Tri might not have been the best, but this is my favorite version of Butter-fly. Makes me tear up every time.

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

Excuse me I need to just go let out the tears of nostalgia God I love this series!!!

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.

I have always been remembering about Digimon from the DVDs I watched when I was young. I don't know what to feel now, had it been too fast for me to look back. With dreamy eyes. This would be a part of my memory if I continue to learn more about Digimon. So.. Rest in peace, Wada Koji, no matter which world that we would be living in the future. If our dreams say so, then we go without worries. I hope you went out without any worries in your mind, watch over these generations, your words and your feelings are in them. I truly did like Digimon, a lot.

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.❤️

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 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 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.

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.

Those songs are fused into my DNA, i cannot listen to them without having an emotional reaction

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 nostalgia hits hard!!!

Thank You Very Much! When I first heard it, I wanted to cry. Each verse of the song, it reminded me of my childhood.

Actually this song bring back my memories of childhood days. Time went too fast. Thank you for accompany my childhood days. Although the last movie digimon last kizuna made me cry.

thank you for making me cry at least 6 time at year with this song

32 ANOS E AINDA SINTO AQUELE ARREPIO AO OUVIR AS MUSICAS DE DIGIMON DENTRE MUITOS OUTROS ANIMES DA MINHA INFANCIA

Every time this song sneaks into my feed I always get teary eyed.

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

When they call each other dude the memories is flooding in aah what a wobderfull childhood

I am always crying at the end when everybody is singing 😢 So much memories and an explosion of So many émotions

thanks for the reupload, never thought I'd hear it again

This is absolutely beautiful

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...😩

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 👊

Thank you Koji Wada for being part of my childhood and bringing me digimon songs with you. I feel so much nostalgia and sadness because I can never relive my childhood again.

Im not crying, so much happines from this song. My whole childhood passes in these few minutes ❤❤❤❤

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 without goosebumps throughout, every, single, time.

Always nice to come back here every 6 months or so for a big cry ❤

Nostalgia. I remember watching this series in the weekend. 💗

This song hits differently now

One of the best OST from One of the BEST anime's of all time.❤️

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 ❤

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.

No se porque pero... estaba cantando la canción mientras la escuchaba y cuando llego la parte final y todos cantaron el coro mis lagrimas brotaron de emoción y nostalgia.

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.

I just got my crest of friendship on an online shop and I listened to this song. It makes me cry so much. R.I.P. Wada Kouji. Additional. That guitar solo in the end is so well done.

This one have cured my depression... Thank you very much

This fills my heart and childhood so much. Digimon Forever❤

look its 2024 and im still here ;') . how i really miss my childhood tv series back then. digimon will be forever in my heart .

the best anime OST I've ever listened. it sounds so uplifting. I'm very grateful to reminisce my childhood animation.

Had bittersweet memory with this song because one of my friends from dormitory used this song as alarm and it was really loud back then 😂

Waoooo tiempo que se va no vuelve pero si se recuerda las lágrimas están como manantial de agua 😭😭😭wao mi niñez que hermosa fue 😍😭

Shivers down my spine when everyone started singing- it's so so so good!

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

Everytime i stumble upon this song while scrolling through KZfaq, I always get goosebumps.

Eu amo ouvir essa música, vejo esse vídeo desde 2020 pena q nunca comentei antes Aiai, lembra-me eu no quarto sozinha durante a quarentena e eu mandando pra minha amiga Lamento até hj nunca ter existido uma butterfly em português brasileiro, já q só começaram a usar a a música base original no 2...

i still cannot move on to this song it's such a wonderful song and it brings back sooo much memories from my childhood T^T

Rip Mr wada you have blessed us with an amazing song and touch all your fans hearts ❤ may you find peace 😢

Where is the video of this recording?

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
