(Mikutan) ENGLISH Connect [Madoka Magica OP] 

I feel like it tricks you to think the openings about Madoka but it's really more about homura

minor anime spoilers: *Begging of the anime*: this is a cute song about Madoka and her friends! *End of the anime*: this is a depressing song about homura wanting to save her best friend.

Let me be the first to say it in 2023 this is still the best English cover for this song. Been listening for years and I never get sick of it.

I always love that "to-ge-ther" part.

"Wow, this sounds like a happy, feel-good anime to watch"... Never had i been so wrong....

After episode three, i wondered why they kept this song. it seemed to light-hearted for the show. Then I saw Homura's backstory, and the feels associated with this song hit me like a ton of bricks. This is an amazing rendition of an amazing song.

I find the lyrics and tone of voice in Mikutans version more powerful and fitting than amalees version. Now don't get me wrong I like amalee but the lyrics in this version... and the deep tone of mikutan make it seem like Homura really is singing this, fighting for a future for her and Madoka. And the lines: "But when I'm with you, I fly. We can make it through this night, if we, connect." Just really emotionally hit me. It's like shes saying that she and the others can make it through Walpurgis night if they work together. And that when shes with Madoka she is strong and happy. Ok my bad but Mikutan I really like this cover. It's been in my playlist for a long time, and its staying there.

Don't judge an anime by its opening.

When I first watched Madoka Magica I thought it was going to be another cutsy moe magical girl anime................Then I reached Episode 3 and things went for 0 to 100 real quick T^T.

This is the first time I love the dub version for the song. Thanks, my ear is satisfied.

STOP IT! PUT THAT HAPPY PICTURE AWAY! BEFORE OTHERS THINK THIS IS A HAPPY ANIME, THEY'RE STILL PURE DON'T RUIN IT FOR THEM! I GOT TRICKED AND I WAS STILL PURE. SOMEONE HELP THOSE PEO----

Fuck, I know I'm like 9 years too late but this is the best English version of this song on RU-vid. You actually sound like the song and aren't trying to flower it up like some other youtubers.

_Everyday, I imagine a future where I can be with you._

like eren would say ''EVERTHING WAS SO HAPPY THEN IT WENT TO TITAN HELL''

I learned the first 7 or 8 verses and some older girls at school heard me humming it, so they told me to sit it now they make me sing it all the time! miku tan U R one of my very few roll modals!!

WHY DOEs THIS PICTURE LOOK SO HAPPY?! 0.o

Who else cried during the movie.. ;-;

Lyrics: Every time I stop and stumble in doubt and darkness I close my eyes and think back to you. We made a vow, a promise, To carry onward, I'll see it through. When I was young, the sky shone clear and bright and blue, And I smiled through every day, knowing that all my dreams would come true. Now that I've grown, that sky fades dark and disappears And the future I once dreamed dissolves before my doubts and fears. Then you came to me, Took me by the hand, And the strength you shared helped me to rise and stand. Let the clocks tick by, Let the days fade away, 'Cause I've found the path my heart will walk today. Now my heart's alive, and racing Towards the future, There's no doubt that Could dare hold me back. I'm gonna fly on forward into that blue sky, bound-less and bright. I still pray and hope That one day we'll be together I'll fight onward And see you again, my friend. I won't stop until the end, I won't give in. When I was young, my friends were always by my side, If I faltered, they would hold me tight, push my wor-ries a-side. The years go by while friends fade further day by day. Now there's none left I can trust, and all alone I fall and pray. Then your voice resounds, Shining like a light And in har-mon-y our song endures the night Though the mount-ains fall, Though the world fade to dust, Still in you I've found a strength that I can trust Can you see me now? I'm racing Into that blue sky, Free and faster than ever before Over the walls and boundaries of this dark labyrinth Into the light With your help my hope is rising, it's overflowing Now, I'm nothing, but when I'm with you I fly. We can make it through this night, If we con-nect. Here we stand: a world of ruin, No path to guide us onward. Still I smile and face the day; With you I'll find my way. Now my heart's alive, and racing Towards the future, There's no doubt that Could dare hold me back. I'm gonna fly on forward into that blue sky, bound-less and bright. I still pray and hope That one day we'll be together I'll fight onward And see you again, my friend. I won't stop until the end, I won't give in. To-mor-row's look-ing bright ...

Just finished this anime and people were not kidding, and its amazing this masterpiece was done in 12 episodeds.

This is literally my favorite anime... ;-;

Aww! I freakin' LOVE this song and the anime also, who agrees?

You and LeeandLie would sound AMAZING together!

Why can't anyone tell me why do I cry everytime I listen to this?

actually purely in love with your voice, please keep up the good work.

“I’ll fight onward and see you again my friend. I won’t stop until the end! I won’t give in!” ...... Wow this is really about homura trying to save madoka 😓

this still slaps 7 years later

This anime was sooooo awesome-

Everyone keeps saying that "Oh, this anime tricks you, episode three was a total plot twist." And yes, the facade of a happy-go-lucky magical girl anime was misleading and yes, episode three is really where everything goes to hell, you do get a glimpse of what the anime is really like in the first episode. Literally, the first scene is Madoka running through a building that looks like an optical illusion and then opening a door and looking out at the ruins of an entire city floating in a purple sky while a girl (Homura) is getting beaten up by... something. We do later find out that this something is Walpurgisnacht, but at this moment in time, we have no clue what it is which makes it even creepier. Madoka is obviously terrified and while watching, we’re all pretty scared too because the first scene of this supposedly happy anime is literally a girl on the verge of death and mass destruction of an entire city! Sure, the scene ends when Madoka wakes up and then it's all fun and games for a bit resembling a normal anime. You know, main character runs out of the house with her late-to-school toast in her mouth, catches up to her friends, they have some talk about boys and are all happy. But then you see Homura again. Homura existing in real life confirms that Madoka's dream wasn't just a dream, it was real, and if Homura's here, you can bet destruction's on it's way. And if that's not enough, think of the first witch encounter that is in the same episode. It's confusing and scary, it looks like something out of a nightmare. Madoka and Sayaka are close to dying until Mami shows up and saves the day. The ironic thing about Mami defeating the witch is that Mami tries to make everything about fighting witches seem happy, exciting and flashy meanwhile the way Mami fights show you so much about darker, more serious nature of the show. Mami isn’t fighting with some cute little accessory or magic wand or tiara and shouting words as all of her attacks, (I mean, she shouts ‘Tiro Finale’ at the end of the battle but that’s not what I’m focused on) Mami is fighting with guns. Guns are always seen as a more mature and dangerous weapon and mature is exactly what the show is. Mami’s death certainly was frightening but it didn’t come out of nowhere. Mami’s death ends the facade of happiness in being a magical girl for Madoka, but it was already ending for us. There were plenty of hints before episode three. While Mami’s death is where shit hits the fan, it didn’t come out of the blue, it’s kind of a point of no return sort of thing. Like, “We’ve warned you what this is really like, so turn and run now or watch and don’t say that we didn’t warn you.” Don’t act like Mami’s death was the first and only warning that we got, accept that it was just the last.

i'm not crying you're crying

You know, I honestly keep forgetting this isn’t an official dub. That’s how good it is, quality-wise. You should be very proud of this. It’s emotional, well-sung, and I like how powerful your voice is. Your control is fantastic too.

Anyone listening to this in 2016? Still my favorite song by Mikutan.

every time I stop and stumble and down in darkness I close my eyes and think back to you we made a vow a promise to carry onward I'll see it through when I was young the skies shown clear and bright and blue and I smiled through every day knowing that all my dreams would come true now that I've grown the sky fades dark and disappears and the future I once dreamed dissolves before my doubts and fears then you came to me took me by the hand and the strength you shared helped me to rise and stand let the clocks tick by let the days fade away cuz I've found the path my heart will walk today now my heart's alive and racing towards the future there's no doubt that could dare hold me back I'm gonna fly on forward into the blue sky boundless and bright as the ray and hope that one day we'll be together I'll ride onward and see you again my friend I won't stop until the end I won't give in when I was young my friends were always by my side if I faltered they would hold me tight push my worries aside the years go by while friends fade further day by day now there's no one left I can't just all alone I fall and pray then you voiced the sounds shining like a light and in harmony our song enters the night though the mountains fall though the world fades to dust still you knew I had found strength that I can trust can you see me now I'm racing into the blue sky free I'm faster than ever before over the walls and boundaries (I have no fucking idea) into the light with your help and hope it's rising it's overflowing now I'm nothing but when I'm with you I fly we can make it through this night if we connect here we stand a world of ruin no path to guide us onward still I smile and face the day with you I'll find you and find my way now my heart's alive and racing towards the future there's no doubt that could dare hold me back I'm gonna fly on forward into the blue sky boundless and bright as the ray and hope that one day we'll be together I'll ride onward and see you again my friend I won't stop until the end I won't give in tomorrow's looking bright

I actually really like your voice for this song. It has that pleasantly original flavour, sort of like when you hear a guy covering a song originally done by a girl. (No offense, haha; I really love your voice.) I think the intensity of your voice contrasts nicely with the kind of pleasant-sounding song, and it fits the seriousness of the anime very well. :)

Best Connect English cover ever!!

Recently became a fan of Madoka and this cover gives me life. ON TO THE MOVIES

Very rare to find an English cover of a song and it sound legitimate, on pitch, meet all the beats of the original lyrics .. Seriously, I LOVE this cover - very very veeeeeeeery well done!!

I just want you to know that I still absolutely adore this cover years after hearing it for the first time. Good job, seriously. This one has always made me want to cry.

this cover will always have a place in my heart

This is really great! You have one hell of a voice. It's got a lot of oomph to it, which I feel like kinda lacks in the few covers I've done. The english lyrics are fantastic, too.

All those years passed by, and i still love this cover~♡ Amazing version, and amazing voice!! 👏 I still dance and cry happly with this song 🎵💞🎀

All these years later this is still my favorite version of the song by a lot

Time to start watching the whole series over again…

YOUR VOICE IS SO STRONG

I love this song, but it reminds me of Crossing Field in some ways…

I'm currently using this anime to fill the gaping soul sucking void left by full metal alchemist

I have a good idea for a wish if I ever was offered to be a magical girl: Unlimited wishes. With those unlimited wishes I'd wish for the ability to never become a witch, to never die by the hands of a witch etc.

Still my favorite english cover of this!

For some reason every time I her Miku tan sing this song with that amazing voice I feel happy and energetic but at the same time I feel like crying. The emotion shown through her voice is indescribable.

i love this song..since its in english i love it more X3

u made me cry.. your voice... is so perfect

great... thanks Miku, now I have to Subscribe, cause your stupid awesomeness blew my mind.... damit. Baka... *blushes*

Well, I have fallen in love with her voice x.x

I can listen to this 100 times and I won't get annoyed

Her voice is so strong and beautiful!

Yes, I finally found Miku-Tan's cover!

気持ち良すぎだろ!

This was an opening that I could never skip. I felt that it added even more heartbreak to an emotionally draining show. It makes you think that everything is going to be okay, and for some reason I always had hope at the end of the OP that maybe things would be okay from there on out. AND THEY NEVER. WERE.

Every time i stop and stumble And down in darkness I close my eyes and think Back to you we made a vow A promise to carry onward Ill see it through When i was young the sky shown clear and bright and blue And i smiled through everyday Knowing that all my dreams Would come true Now that ive grown the sky Fades dark and dissappears And the future i once dreamed is all of doubts and fears Then you came to me Took me by the hand and the strength You shared helped me to rise and stand Let the clock tick by let days fade away Cuz i found the path my heart will walk today Now my hearts alive and racing towards the future Theres no doubt that can dare hold me back Im gonna fly on foward onto the blue sky Valiant and bright I still pray and hope that one day We'll be together ill fight onward and see you again my friend I wont stop untill the end I wont give in When i was young my friends were Always by my side If i faltered they would hold me tight Push my worries aside But years go by and friends fade further Day by day Now theres no one left i can trust All alone i fall and pray Then your voice gives sounds shining Like a light and in harmony A song undurs the night Though the mountins fall though The world fades to dust Still you knew i had found strength That i can trust Can you see me now im racing into the blue sky free and faster Than ever before Although the walls and boundarys That this dark path brings I breath to the light With your help And hope Its rising, its overflowing Now im nothing but with you i fly We can make it through this night If we connect He we stand a world of ruin No path to guide us onward Still i smile and face the day with you Ill find my way Now my hearts alive and racing towards the future Theres no doubt that can dare hold me back Im gonna fly on forward onto that blue sky Valiant and bright I still pray and hope that one day We'll be together ill fight onward and see You again my friend I wont stop untill The end I wont give in Tomarrows looking bright

To this day this cover cures my depression.

People:"Madoka Magica Looks So Cutesy" Episode 3:"Hold My Beer"

What a ride this anime was. It takes spot number one. It beats Attack on Titan by a decent amount. Just wanna see Rebellion! Can someone please be kind enough to send me the link of Puella Magi Madoka Magica Rebellion to me? :)

this anime held no mercy crushing my feels

The ULTIMATE english cover of this opening

this is still my favorite version just hope to hear new songs soon :')

From the very start of the cover, ur voice just electrified me. I literally couldn't move a muscle. I was just staring at the screen, listening. When it ended, i actually cried and i said "Wow". Miku-Tan, please never give up on singing, i feel it really shows your feelings and pass them onto all those who listen. I admire you so much, i cant express--

Apparently this is from an anime but this song is AMAZING this is one of my favorite songs I feel like it should be more popular

Again, I listen to this song every now and then and it makes me really happy. Well done.

I wanted to subscribe to your channel but when I looked for the button I found that I was already a subscriber :)

Your voice gives an epic touch to this song, and I love that !!

Its fucking dificult to stay alive for mahou shoujo's in this show, i mean, you gotta remember that the entire show takes place in a single month...

Seriously 7 months later and this cover is still the best thing ever!

Still like this much more than the new LeeAndLie cover.

I love this cover, plain and simple, it's easy to memorize and sing to as well. A very well done job!

so i was singing this in japanese and you were like hitting the EXACT beat of the song as i was and im thinking wow that's impressive (you know that and you can sing really well.)

Everytime I listen to this I think of episode 10 and cry a little

this song makes me think of Panic! At The Disco's style. at least with the few songs of theirs i heard

Whenever I'm feeling down I come here and listen. Never ceases too cheer me up. Thanks Miku!

Wow...I just actually finished this anime a few days ago.I think I cried in every episode xD....

I recently just got done binge watching Madoka Magica on Netflix and I loved it... Also awesome cover! :D

I'm pretty sure that by now, half these views consist of me lol

Beautiful. Absolutely beautiful. I listen to this almost every day. Your voice is godly, I can't stop listening to it!

This is actually better than the original ;p

I've listened to this song over ten times! I love your cover!

Thank you for this-

I literally just listen to it over and over and over again. I'm sitting on a floor at camp and every time this ends, I just rewind it and listen to it again! This is amazing! Your so talented!!!!

They really should make more episodes. =3=

i love this song! it helped me get over bad times recently. thank you fpr making a english version!

why the hell is the actual show version of this theme no where to be found online?

This made me. Cry ... thank you

didn't even get to the last second cause I dragged it back so fast to start it again!!!!

I love this song. And the show. The show almost made me cry and your awesome voice almost did as well

One thing you def have over Cristina Vee and Amanda Lee, is your voice doesn't try to sound like the original vocalist. Sometimes, we forget it's a FANdub, and not an emulation dub. Cheerio~

every time i listen i can't get enough of your singing you did great.

your voice is just...amazing. my god

*cheers forever* Just when I was about to scour the internet for the lyrics myself and listen to a fake post cover over and over again for'em~ Glad to see this awesome piece back up. ^^

become meguca

This is a brilliant English Cover of Connect!

The feels are still real ;-;

When ever Connect comes up on my Ipod or in my head I automatically start sing these lyrics! :)

One song that would be really nice, Your Silver Garden, the end theme for the Madoka Magica Rebellion movie :)
