Final Fantasy X - 1000 no Kotoba (full japanese) 

Everyone in these comments comparing the Japanese version to the English version. Meanwhile I'm over here crying at both because they're both so amazing and heart-breaking and you can just HEAR the singers' voices cracking with the emotion of it. 💗 Screw the comparison, I love both.

歌：倖田來未 作詞：野島一成 作曲：江口貴勅・松枝賀子 君の言葉は 夢の優しさかな? ウソを全部 覆い隠してる ズルイよね 旅立つ君に 冷めた背中見せて 聞いていたよ ひとり戦うの? ズルイよね 「帰ってくるから」 追い越してゆく君の声 意地張って 強いフリ 時を戻して 叫べば良かった? 行かないでと涙こぼしたら? 今はできる どんなことも 言えなかった 1000の言葉を 遙かな 君の背中におくるよ 翼に変えて 言えなかった 1000の言葉は 傷ついた 君の背中に寄り添い 抱きしめる 夢の続きは 君を思いながら あの日のこと 忘れたふりして ズルイよね 「手紙を書くから」 視線そらした君の声 意地張って 強いフリ 時を戻して 怒れば良かった? 待てないよと肩を落としたら? 今はできる どんなことも 聞こえてる? 1000の言葉を 見えない 君の背中におくるよ 翼に変えて 聞こえてる? 1000の言葉は つかれた 君の背中に寄り添い 抱きしめる 言えなかった 1000の言葉を Lalalala… 君の背中におくるよ 翼に変えて 聞こえてる? 1000の言葉は Lalalala… 君の背中に寄り添い Lalalalala….

This song really dedicated to all couples who can't reach final happiness and face a bitter reality... Although it's beautiful song but there's a deep sadness inside it, simply amazing, the creator :)

3:22のシーン、15年近く前だけど泣いた記憶がめっちゃある。 ⅦとⅩは最高傑作だと思う。 今はもうおっさんだけど、またFFやりたいな。

This Japanese version is actually the original. :x

めっちゃくちゃいい歌詞だぁぁ。感動して泣いちゃいました…

tears fall down my cheecks as i remember playing this with my grandpa way back 2003 when hes still alive and now i am seeing this hearing the song 😘😘😘😘😘❤️❤️❤️❤️👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻😊😊😊😊😊

Everyone calling out this voice is old But everyone loves real emotion, both japanese and English are sang by Koda Kumi

2019年でも2020年になっても聴き続けます(；▽；) ダメだ。いい歌詞すぎるよ。 泣いちゃうよ...。

Only final fantasy lovers feel that everytime we hear a song of FF series weve been back in time. NOSTALGIC yet i feel love and old. Listening this pandemic.. FINAL FANTASY LOVE FOREVER!!

倖田來未さんの名曲！好きです。

If you think her voice is too deep for Yuna, it’s because it’s NOT Yuna singing; it’s Lenne. The singer also provided Lenne’s spoken voice in this version, so it makes more sense. I wish they would have done the same for the US version.

Xで号泣してたあの頃、くそ分厚い攻略本見ながらゲームしてた。楽しかったなあ。

Beautiful voice !!! She's a great singer

This made me cry! After all the years, I've finally found this song! I first heard of this in a Hitachiin Twins Fanvid! 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭💗💗💗💗💗💗💗

おれコレクリアしたとき泣いたんだよね～だからかな？千の言葉聞くと感動しちゃうの

My timeless love song ❤️

damn even the japanese version makes me cry

ありがとございます！FFx、x-2好きなのでとても嬉しいです！

this is so....Emotional. *crys*

it is july 2021 and this song and cinematic still looks amazing so dramatic bring so much emotion....

This can make me cry. The English Version cannot. I love this more.

For me English version sang by Yuna Japanese version sang by Lenne

Thanx 4 uploading the completed version. All of sudden it popped out of my mind.

This is what I'm looking for . The original version ♥️

this makes me Nostalgic..

Bring back memories :')

This song made me sob so hard for some reason

I come from the era of JPop where Koda Kumi was one of the reigning queens so everyone from this era will always have the edge for me. KK's voice in this sequence really expresses Lenne's bittersweet anguish, a love that could never be realized. I think it suits the story more, as if Lenna's spirit is crying out through Yuna - instead of just Yuna herself singing. ofc I'm a subs over dubs hack so I'm biased lol

Good song ever

ティーダぁぁぁ ユウナしゃぁあぁぁん（号泣）

未だに泣く…

this is my 1st time hearing in japanese it makeing me cry

This was the best scene ever! Wish I can play ffx again. Hooo!

this voice fits more for Lenne

I'm not gonna cry....I won't cry!! *Sobs*

This game and x have the largest place in my heart cause my bro and I played them together. We pretended to be sick and stayed in bed all day Come the final boss. I’ll never get over destroying the aeons.

english or japanese version I still cry to this

この歌大好き。

As every story should be told- in its original... Beautiful

The English version is the one that's nostalgic to me, but the Japanese version is just as phenomenal.

映像編集が上手い！ あとは画質が良くなればいいかも…と

I love both versions. I not only hear the music I Feel it.

my crush sang this song for me... I wish I am also her "mysterious" crush

神曲✨

This was the first Japanese song I heard and it influenced my musical taste greatly. It's still one of my favorite songs ever. I also don't understand how people like English version but I guess it's because everybody had English version of final fantasy.

Ff X-2 i think is most eazy ff in games But it story still so good ffx games has all from game from ff8 to ff9 Unlike cold and toxic world in ff7, Story love in ff8 Meaning of life in ff9 Ffx has a world full of sadness because sin, a toching love stosy with yuna and tidus, and meaning about life in tidus and yuna adventure

This, and to a lesser extent "Real Emotion" I always prefer the Japanese version of songs from games and anime. The international version (English version) sung by Jade Valerie was also released in Japan as a single. It was preferred by critics in Japan (the International version was as well as fans in Japan (based on sales of Jade's single vs. the Japanese Version). (Source: Wikipedia) Being an international version, most of the world considers this "the" version. The mediocre response to the Japanese version vs. the International version in Japan is probably one of the reasons the International (English) Japanese version was not released nor part of FF X-2 outside of Japan including other Asian countries. In addition, the International (It's not just an "American/European" version), with Jade, sounds MUCH more like the character Yuna than the Japanese singer. Finally, although ironically Jade's song is in English. She has been popular in Asia for multiple songs whereas not in the United States. "Final Fantasy X-2 International + Last Mission Original Soundtrack is a soundtrack album of music from Final Fantasy X-2 International + Last Mission composed, arranged and produced by Noriko Matsueda, Takahito Eguchi and Kazuhiro Hara. The album spans 10 tracks, covering a duration of 45:21. It includes the English versions of "real Emotion" and "1000 Words", performed by Jade Villalon of Sweetbox, as well as the eight tracks added for the International version of Final Fantasy X-2, released in Japan on February 19, 2004. The album was released on July 16, 2003 in Japan by Avex bearing the catalog number AVCD-17388.[14] "The album was better received than the original soundtrack, with Patrick Gann finding several of the tracks to be "beautiful" and the album as a whole "a sure step up from the X-2 OST". He concluded that "if you owned and kept the X-2 OST, you're a fool not to add this CD to your collection."[14] Chris of Square Enix Music Online had similar feelings for the album, terming it a "high-quality and surprising effort" and "an incredible improvement" over the original soundtrack.[15] The album reached #42 on the Oricon charts and remained on the charts for four weeks." That being said, if one can deal with the fact that Yuna suddenly ages considerably with the Japan only version, it's all a matter of people's tastes.

Hmm ? I just realized that Lenne actually prettier than Yuna 🤔 And did you know ? Tidus' model actor actually the one doing Zell in FF8 while Shujin cast by Squall 🤝 you can tell from the way they move and walk 😋

a change of tastes.. when I bought this game when it came out i preferred the English version, but now this one is the better in my opinion

映画、アニメ、ゲーム 初めて涙したストーリーやったなぁ😢

1000 no kotoba, for my beloved.

i love song final fantasy x -1000 no kotoba...

Is it bad that I lean a little more towards the English version for like the first time ever? Regardless both versions are beautiful in their own ways and tug at my heart strings every time 😭❤️

vous avez vraiment les plus belles femmes du monde ! et quelle musique !

Did they actually do different lip syncing for the English and Japanese versions? That's impressive.

Is that Koda Kumi = = Love her

When I'm playing the game, I saw Yuna and Lynne both singing on the stage together for a while

懐かしい♪よくやってた。

いつ見ても感動(´；ω；｀)ﾌﾞﾜｯ

this video was edited right? with the original recorded song, not the in-game FMV song.

While I like the English version better, this was really awesome too.

何故この曲がもっと評価されないのが解せぬ😢 リアルエモーションも良いけど、こっちこそ倖田來未のバラード力を評価するべき代表的な曲なのに😭

大召喚士さまがめちゃめちゃ今風な歌手としてデビューしてるのスピラの民はどう思ってるのか知りたい

can someone explain to me whats the connection between yuna and lenne? i reall dont understand about final fantasy so much. i only love to hear their songs.

"I have no idea to this day what those two Japanese ladies were singing about. Truth is, I don't want to know. Some things are best left unsaid. I'd like to think they were singing about something so beautiful, it can't be expressed in words, and makes your heart ache because of it."

Longest game i have ever play. It has been 17 years and I still not finished it. (FFX-2)

2023 here 🎉 I believe this kind of stage is possible to real with current AI tech 😍😍🤗 lets hope someday it could be retouch to reality 🤗

>tfw a cute Japanese girl will never be THIS _THIRSTY_ for you, set up a sexy scanty girl squad, and go all out on a spiritual search for you despite you dying right in front of her years ago when shit got too real Those 1000 words fall on deaf ears for me ;_;

Muy buena canción :D

Japanese singer is great, but sounds too old for Yuna.

the 3d graphic on cutscenes still look better than some 3d movies in 2020

ユウナかわいい❗️大ヒットだね

Lovely video.

シューウィーーーーーーーーーーーーン🎆😢

It’s hard to believe that this game is 21 years old

Is this the original video as well?

Is this on Spotify? I can't find it, only the instrumental version

これ、シリーズをクリアしたことある人は泣けるよね😢

Lindo tema :)

2020💜💜💜🌷

Best start of 2022! 1000 words to describe the worlds state! 1000 words to the people that have become a memory!

3:08 that river ... aerith graveyard .... :(

彼氏主張寂しくなったら１０００の言葉聞きたくなります😢やっぱり彼氏と一緒に降りたい😹彼氏に早く会いたい❤やっぱり１０００の言葉が大好きな曲です😊

お互い大好きな曲(；▽；) 早く歌えるようになって聴かせたい...。

幸田未来的声音还是这么有辨识度。

編集上手すぎてこわい((( ；ﾟДﾟ)))

Мне так нравилась эта игра потому что в ней есть сюжет

I wish I could have played this game, but it jammed within 20 minutes of gameplay when my friend gave it to me😔😔😔.

I didn't realize it then but now in hindsight that scene really looks like a certain scene from Sailor Moon...

i just love this song though i didn't get to finish playing FFX-2. i feel sad for lenne at shuin's fate tho 😢😢😢

I love this version on its own but when used in the game's context I think her voice is too deep for Yuna's character. To me the english version brings out the emotions of the scene better but again that's just my opinion.

I prefer this version because its more powerful and emotional and hit where it should, the english version sounds like a couple of teen girls auditioning to the voice or something like that.

대학생때 너무 감명깊게 했던 게임. 오랜만에 노래 생각나서 들어보네요ㅎㅎ

I listen to this for nostalgia...Then this reminds me of FFX~Will~, then FFX~Will~ reminds me of FFX2.5...Then I get mad Sigh.

myHEART

Either version is fine Beautiful song regardless

I remember I had a sticker set of this

ich finde es sehr gut
