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.
They all have soooo beautiful voices esppp kari(the younger sister of the protagonist) but maybe i am biased cuz kari is literally my favourite character from season 1 in my childhood
You likely miss your childhood which was likely much simpler than your adult life. But take this song as a hopeful send off into the adult world! This song will always be there to cheer you onwards!
I was lucky enough to have met Mr Wada when he came to Brazil back in 2010. Whenever I listen to this, I remember that once in my lifetime I could hear his voice singing this without any microphone or background music. Just his amazing voice, live and acapella for a small audience of event staff. I still get chills from remembering that.
@@minglin2814 You realize it WAS the original singer and they passed away shortly after this song aired, right? Kinda in poor taste to state it in such a matter of fact way in a reply to a comment like this
@@mistprowen3157 yea no you replied to the wrong dude. The person you replied to meant the fact that a good amount of if not most of the digidestined from adventure O1 don't have the same VA they did. And even the comment you were probably intending to respond to was just saying the singer had passed away didn't exactly say he had no involvement in the 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.
Yeah. Digimon Tri.... watched the first episode and it started with that song. When I saw the photo on the table, I felt like meeting up with my friends that I hadn't seen for years. My eyes watered for a moment.
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.
turut prihatin, dulu saya masih SMP nonton ini, salah satu hiburan dari kerasnya hidup di antara teman2 & lingkungan toxic. antara rindu dan juga nggak akan masa lalu, hehe.
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
Same, as a kid I don't I really watched the series, except for a few movies. But I did play a bunch of the games, and I loved Digimon as a kid. Pretty sure I never heard this song as a kid but it brings nostalgia to me regardless
@@dowfreak7 i was one of those poor saps unfortunately. didn't know about Butterfly until a few years ago after i started watching Digimon in Japanese starting with Xros Wars and i'm grateful that i heard it
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
من بلاد عربية ميلاد1994 كان Digimon يمثل حب الطفولة حتى الان مع تطور الاغنية اشعر ان الاغنية تذهب بي لعالم مليئ بالحب كلما اشتاق للطفول استمع الى Digimon
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.
Humanity clinging to the hope that seems like butterfly wings..weak and unreliable. Carrying endless dream in this misserable and unforgivable world. People used to make Anime that was enjoyable for kids and memorable for adult. Now everything seems so crosscut and specific. Simplyfied and over fast.
@@kojoydesu4107 from the anime that came over in the 90s/early 2000s that were geared more to kids. Digimon and Cardcaptor Sakura are the ones that hold up as good series even for adults. Transcending there target audience
@@LatencyProblem care to tell me something that aim for the Kids but have profound and subtle Adult theme so when Adult watching it they can enjoy it for long time? I might need a reference. Thanks
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.
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.
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.
[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
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!
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
Ho provato la stessa sensazione. Quando 7 anni fa decisi di rivedere la serie in jap (dopo essere cresciuto con la versione ita) provai una sensazione di nostalgia incredibile, come se già la conoscessi. Ad ogni modo noi siamo stati molto fortunati: nella versione eng cambiarono tutta la soundtrack, dando alla serie un mood completamente diverso e snaturando tanti momenti iconici.
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...
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
They could've insert the song "One Vision" at the end fight since it goes along their line : "This is our final evolution" (which is also part of the lyrics in "One Vision").
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.
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.
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.
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 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.
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.❤️
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 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.
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.
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.
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
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 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.
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.
Butterfly elicists many emotions for me. I also listen to it when i'm depressed, or happy, or energetic. It is always a good moment to listen to it, or Breave heart for that matter.
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.
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.
this is seriously a masterpiece! Current cast of the anime, the original singer koji-san, and AiM and ayumi (singers of other opening and ending theme of various digimon series!) huhuhu I always to this version ❤
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 ❤
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.
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...😩
Bro imagine how it feels being over 20 XD Don't worry, you got more years ahead of you to make even more mistakes and fix them. Plus, there's another new Digimon series out right now called Digimon Ghost Game!
Hey, I'm on my late 20s and have a lot of regrets. Think of me as your future self, and use those years before you get to 20 to make sure you don't have regrets. You don't have to be the best, but always strive to become better than you were yesterday. That, will be your own evolution.
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 and not cry 😭😭 RIP Koji Wada you left such a significant mark in my life no matter how much I grow older I would never be able to forget you or this masterpiece.
