Pokemon Legendary Bytes - Ho-oh - ft.  

Today is the day i become bird

I love how Ho-Ohs voice sounds- it sounds like it’s echoing in your mind- which makes sense, as in the movies, any communicating pokemon(Barring Meowth of course) is explained as telepathy

Imagine climbing up this giant tower with the people around going on about how regal and great Ho-oh is, then he just descends and starts singing rap. It would be like a fever dream

Fun fact: Lugia’s creator has previously stated his regret not pushing for Lugia to have a female voice actor in Pokémon: 2000, as Lugia was always intended to be female, since it represents deep sea currents and the beginning of life on this planet.

“In golden flames, be reborn.” “Let the flames of rejuvenation burn ever-bright in your heart.” - Ho-Oh

I love that you included the Kimono Girls’ theatre performance from Pokémon Evolutions. It really adds to Ho-oh’s mystical nature and makes him the more appropriate entry for Johto’s musical byte. And Juno absolutely nailed the vocals. Ho-oh sounds really close to what I would have imagined. (Sounds a tad like Wan Shi Tong from ATLA.)

The Kimono Girl chorus is beautiful - I love the added Japanese lyrics! And I never would've picked Juno as Ho-Oh but it fits so well. The lyrics here are incredible too, props to Juno there.

Ho-Oh and Lugia are a duo, but not rivals. Lugia is a symbol of life’s beginning, and Ho-Oh represents life’s persistence. They work together and harness the same power. Also, though they are a duo I feel Lugia is far more ancient than Ho-Oh. Ho-Oh’s deal is restoring and reviving life, but Lugia flows with the lifeblood that is the oceans: where life first began.

Something about this song makes me think of it as a folk legend that's passed down for generations to pass down this tale and preserve this story's glory for the future. This isn't a story of a magic bird testing a child... this is is a legendary beast of old testing if a hero is ready.

Finally, some mother effin respect for the true Phoenix of Pokemon.

Oh dang, I think this means they’re going in order of generation. Gotta say, Ho-oh’s theme has been a favourite of mine ever since I heard Noteblocks remix of it. So glad to see it covered So next would be kyogre/groudon? They already covered zinnia’s theme, which kinda includes rayquaza.

For 3 minutes, I felt like that child that failed to beat yellow, but persevered through gold, and finally catching my first-ever Legendary. Then taking that legendary to Kanto to accomplish what I had failed before. Thank you, for returning such a precious memory.

I’m a bit surprised that gold didn’t sing, especially since red did, but at least we got the kimono girl part at the start (which was fantastic)

I have been WAITING for a lyrical adaptation of this masterpiece of a theme. Ho-oh is one of the few Legendaries with no gimmicks like Megas, Primals, or Origin for.s, yet its still one of the most popular legendaries of all time! That goes to show how iconic our radient rainbow bird is, and its theme is no exception!

Ho-Ohs cry at the same time as the bell ring, chill inducing.

Utsukushīdesu! (It's beautiful!) I love how you included "Dance of the Sacred Beasts" in this cover. Gives it that mythical feel.

I have arrived with the knowledge that "Namu Myōhō Renge Kyō" is actually a Nichiren Buddhist chant! It roughly translates to "Devotion to the Mystic Law of the Lotus Sutra".

Tried making a lyrical version of the performance at the start for Lugia … Let our voices rise up like the moon Call to the oceans where the silver lies Now we implore you, Psychic lord of the seas Grace us with your flight Bring us ocean’s light Let our voices sing of grand harmony Flame, Ice, and Lightning were brought back to peace Now we implore you, bring your sacred waters to all Grace us with your storm Grace the sacred earth LUGIA!

Of all legendary themes the only one to capture the emotion of what there region is based off is ho-oh the Japanese tone of the song is beautiful,and why I love ho-oh battle theme so much MOTI and Juno y'all did this song justice thank you

Legit want a version with just the kimono girl solo at the beginning

Ah, Heart Gold was my first Pokémon game. Ho-Oh deserves more love over what they like to do in keeping this burb sitting around till the end where it pops in to say “yo, I hear you need to complete that dex there”

That. Was. Awesome. From Dance of the Sacred Beasts, all to Juno's art, lyrics and vocals as HoOh. Juno, in my opinion this is your best song yet! You and the others are absolutely killing this musical bytes so far!

Hoping Deoxys is next, I've been wanting to hear a lyrical version of that theme for years

2 of Juno's songs in 1 day is something truly Sacred, especially considering they are both Fire

A wild Musical Byte has appeared! It was super effective! Ho-oh's theme is awesome. Can you please do Arceus?

"Very well. I choose to join you." Like he wasn't just caught in a ball by a 10 year old. XDXD

I never understood why Ho-Oh was a fire type, but now I understand because it’s a phoenix.

Can we get an hour loop of the first minute of Kimono girl singing PLS??? They’re so angelic!

As someone who loves Ho-Oh's battle theme, I was truly surprised when it started to sing but I was blown away from the performance nonetheless ^^ Juno was defiantly the best choice to be the voice of Ho-Oh and I'm excited to see which Legendary would be next

🇯🇵Japanese Translation 日本語訳 Let our voices rise up like the sun 太陽のように声を昇らせ Call to the heavens where the rainbows lies 虹かかる天に呼びかけよう Now we implore you, flaming lord of the skies 今、燃ゆる空の王者に希う Grace us with your flight 羽ばたきで我らを祝福し Bring us heaven`s light 天の光をもたらしたまえ Let our voices sing of grand rebirth 偉大な再生を歌わん Flame, rain,and lightning were brought back from the fall 炎、雨、雷が黄泉から蘇りしことを Now we implore you, bring your sacred fires to all 今、全ての者にせいなるほのおをもたらしたまえ Grace us with your warmth その熱で我らに祝福を Grace the sacred earth 聖なる土に恵みを HO-OH! ホウオウよ！ Child of Johto`s long, renowned history. 古き誉あるジョウトの子よ。 Have you the strength to rise once more from the flames of rebirth? 再誕の炎からもう一度立ち上がる強さが君にはあるのか？ Now face me, and show me the power you have gained from your journey! 私と向き合い、君が冒険で手に入れた力を見せたまえよ！ You who emerged form the fertile earth 豊穣の大地から現れた者よ You who climbed to the edge of the sky 空の果てまで登ってきた者よ Now you must prove what your journey was worth 今 君は示さなければならない 君の冒険の価値を what it means to be reborn to be alive 生まれ変わること 生きることの意味を Life burns away, but it rises again 命が燃え尽きようとも、再びよみがえる Such is the way of rejuvenation それが復活というもの Blood from the heavens falls to the earth 天からの血が大地へと落ち Now you shall witness the fire of rebirth! 君は今、再誕の炎を目撃する Once fell the beasts of yore 昔、死んだ獣たちが The flame,their lives restored 炎により命を取り戻した They walk the earth once more 彼らは再び大地を往く In golden flames, now be reborn! 黄金の炎の中で、生まれ変わるときだ Though every life comes to an end 全ての命には終わりが来て And though every sword turens to rust 全ての剣は錆びてしまうものだが Keep your faith in your partner and faith in your friends 仲間を信じ友を信じよ Keep your trust 信頼し続けよ Through the ashes and dust 灰と塵が積もっても Prove you can wield the sacred fire せいなるほのおを操れることを示せ Prove that your sun rises ever higher 君の太陽は天へ昇ると示せ In golden ashes will you rise again? 黄金の灰から君は再び立ち上がるのか？ Baptized in flame 炎の洗礼を受け Human, tell me your name! 人間よ、名を教えてくれ！ Look to the beasts of yore かつての獣たちを見よ The flame, their lives restored 炎により彼らは命を取り戻した Now walk the earth once more 彼らは再び大地を往く In golden flames, now be reborn! 黄金の炎の中で、生まれ変わるときだ You truly are worthy. Very well. 実によくできた子だ。よろしい。 I choose to join you at the end of your road. 君の行く道の最後まで、共にいることを選ぼう。 Let the flames of rejuvenation burn ever bright within your heart! 復活の炎をその心に何時も輝かせたまえ！ ＊ I translated the lylics in Japanese because the song impresses me. 感動したので、日本語訳をしました。 I'm not good at English. 英語はあまり得意ではありません。 If my translation is incorrect, please excuse and tell me. ミスがあっても、ご容赦ください。また、教えてください。

Hoho: prove wat your journey was worth Me : trows ultra ball Hoho about to break out and kill my team with crit burn sacred fire’s : and I took that personally

The lyrics “You who climbed to the edge of the sky” is actually pretty cool because there was an event Pokewalker route called “Night Sky’s Edge”. I doubt it the lyrics were nodding to this, because the route was related to an event Jirachi, but still cool.

I have only one word to describe this: CHILLS. This is probably my new favorite song of yours.

Good to see Ho-oh get its dues. Always loved it way more than Lugia (who I swear has more fans because of the second movie while Ho-oh has barely had any major anime presence)

You know, I would TOTALLY love an entire song of just Ho-Oh's summoning ritual. I'm a sucker for it.

The effects on Ho-oh’s voice fit it really well!

Dear God, I knew it would be Ho-Oh theme that would be done next, but I never expected this, keep up the great work everyone.

I dunno what it is, but something about the juxtaposition of the kimono girls light, smooth performance at the start, Ho-oh's intro speech, and the way his voice just DROPS when the lyrics kick in with the beat makes this really wonderful build up into a satisfying clash. Its like we went from a prayer or a hymn to "oh we gettin REAL now" The ending lines really drive home the feel of the whole song as well. This is not a subduing of a titan or a desperate stand against a fundamental force of the universe - this is a battle of equals. You don't coerce Ho-oh to join your team - you convince him.

As someone who completed pokemon heart gold and soul silver when I was young, always seeing this brings memories back, great job to MOTI and Juno ! You gave me a smile always ^^ !

Love that they added the music from the summoning dance. It's criminally underrated in my friend groups.

Pokémon HeartGold was the first Pokémon game I ever completed, back when I was a kid… …Now, I’m currently playing through it again!! And I feel like Ho-Oh himself has breathed new life into me!

I've always loved the bells at the start of the fight, they have always sound beautiful to me and you have made them sound even more beautiful to me❤❤❤

You who emerged from the falling skies, you who fell to the edge of the earth, now you must prove what your raged life was worth, what it means to be returned, to be revived!

Ho-Oh: You truly are my child. Very well. I choose to join your adoptive family at the end of your road. Let the flames of rejuvenation burn ever bright within your heart!

The chorus n Juno's lines in conjunction to each other is beautiful n glorious n it tells the take of the tower that was destroyed too so good job

Finally some respect for the freaking phoenix Pokemon I'm still confused as to why he hasn't gotten the big role in the anime yet

This was amazing, the chorus was nice, and the lyrics sung by Ho-Oh were great.

I'm imagining in an updated version of Gold with this playing, the 2nd verse plays at a 2nd phase, after you reduce Ho-oh to low/1 HP, with the Kimono girls singing as they raise their hands to the sky, giving Ho-oh a full HP Recovery, a Leftovers-esque passive heal every turn, and a permanent Sunny Day effect.

Absolutely fantastic, Ho-oh's theme was definitely done justice; claps to you Juno! My one and only complaint is that I found it a little hard to hear the Kimono Girls' Buddhist chanting at <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="134">2:14</a> because of the sound filter. If the filter wasn't there and they had perfect clarity this would be actually flawless. I'd still listen to that part for hours if I could, best part of the song.

I love how you included the kimono girls in this amazing song

I don't know how you keep making such BANGERS out of my favorite games but you do! Really good job man.

This was absolutely amazing! Brought back so many childhood memories!

The sound of this song is truly amazing.

Now all that's left is to wait for the spotify release, Keep up the great work!

Dude this is incredible ho-oh's singing is so good and the kimono girls singing is so good 🤩🤩🤩

HO-OH Song is so amazing!!

Ho-Oh is so majestic and elegant as its theme, and the lyrics for the theme are so perfect. Ho-Oh truly is the deity of rebirth and good fortune.

Absolute phenomenal work. I personally owe a lot to Ho-oh.

out of all the videos i've seen from you i have to say this is the most visually spectacular one. I was in sheer amazement at how beautiful this animation was.

What a great video thank you for showing us Hoenn creation trio theme with lyrics will be cool

This is one of the best songs of all time! You put so much detail into this, and every fact about Ho-Oh! I personally, have this at the tippy top of my list for your Pokémon songs from worst to best!

With the reveal that Lugia is meant to be a maternal pokemon, it makes sense now that Ho-Oh would be the male of the pair.

I'm speechless... This is gorgeous. Ho-oh is my favorite pokémon since I was a small trainer. Listening to such homage is so heart warming, thank you 😊

Wow, it‘s cool and beautiful!! I love it!

This theme was already great with the japanese instruments and that japanese feel and i really loved how you included japanese singing into it. I also love how Juno did the voice of the almighty Ho-oh

The summoning chorus wins all the music

Great. Now, I want to play Pokemon Heartgold again. Thanks to this song

Such beautiful melodies for favorite legendary

I never would’ve excepted this but it’s literally 🔥🔥🔥🔥

Now this was epic! And from my favorite Johto legendary

I have chills!

I have been loving these Pokebits keep it up!

This is simply... *beautiful* I don't even have words for it. I love it. Ho Oh is my favorite Johto legendary and I love this!

This song is really addictive and I love it.

Love how ho oh isn't beletling or insulting Ethan rather he is giving him wisdom while also testing him

The beauty of Ho-oh

As someone whose first pokemon game was HeartGold, this really makes me relive my childhood.

I was expecting this to be a bit silly but I’m very impressed. Well done!

How on GOD'S JHOTO did I didn't see this any sooner?! But really tho, Ho Oh is my personal Pokémon. Yes not my favourite but what I feel embodies me best as a mortal being... I still remember the bells around it's mighty yet weathered tower and it's soothing yet boasting calls for the rainbow to shine it's wings... And when He rested his wings and we saw eye to eye with one another.... I knew I would truly never forget the long battle with it... Thank you... for reminding me his wing is still within me.... - From the Champion of Jhoto, Ethan

Dang, this is my favorite one so far. The lyrics are straight fire! *pun very much intended*

that intro man...gives me chills every time.

im sorry but the flames of rebith? XD we have secretly all been saying it wrong and i loveeeee this song ty for making it!

This is a accurate song that also tells the story of Ho-Oh.

OH DAMN JUNO your voice I just felt my inner Johto... Rebirth? Haha

I keep coming back because of the opening

I got the lyrics. Well, Ho-Oh’s part anyway. Ho-Oh: Child of Johto’s long, renowned history, have you the strength to rise once more from the flames of rebirth? Now face me, and show me the power you have gained from your journey! Verse 1: You who emerged from the fertile earth, You who climbed to the edge of the sky Now you must prove what your journey was worth, what it means to be reborn, to be alive Life burns away, but it rises again Such is the way of rejuvenation Blood from the heavens falls to the earth Now, you shall witness the fire of rebirth! Chorus 1: Once fell the beasts of yore The flame their lives restored They walk the earth once more In golden flames, now be reborn! Verse 2: Though every life comes to an end And though every sword turns to rust, Keep your faith in your partner And faith in your friends Keep your trust through the ashes and dust Prove you can wield the sacred fire! Prove that your sun rises ever higher! In golden ashes will you rise again? Baptized in flame, human tell me your name. Chorus 2: Look to the beasts of yore The flame their lives restored Now walk the earth once more In golden flames, now be reborn! Ho-Oh: You truly are worthy. Very well, I choose to join you at the end of your journey. May the flames of rejuvenation burn bright within your heart.

Some parts remind me of Urbosa's theme or one hymn I know. Very cool. I like how you include dialogue at the end of every video for how the Legendary accepts being caught.

Now THAT was powerful - Ho-oh be proud and a song worthy of the Phoenix itself!

I bet you my left leg the kalos legends hate this funny bird purely for the fact that it’s why rejuvenation exists

Now i what lugia theme to be covered. great work as always.

I missed Ho-oh's theme so much. Thank you for reliving my youth today.

Yeah, finally Ho-oh have a lyrics song XwX you are great guys :D,good job

Oh, the nostalgia this brings...

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="59">0:59</a> ah yes, the flames of *rebith*

Thank you so much for this omg 🥲

I love the ending, that Ho-oh more so CHOOSES to go with you and be with you on your team, that you are a worthy trainer to be with

The Kimono Girl part was SOOOO GOOOD!!!!

Can't wait for Lugia to get a lyrics I bet that will sound awesome also this one is Just Golden.

Amazing.

Can't wait to see the rest of the legendaries.
