A Robot Gains a Heart: Kagamine Rin

The touching story of a robot who gains a heart, told musically and starring vocaloid Kagamine Rin; certainly a masterpiece in all respects.

Player 1

Worth watching to the finale for the ending, not that I think many would not be inclined to watch the whole thing through.

Nico. All the commenters are in tears. The maker’s page.

    Ahh you're kidding me, why'd they have to make it so sad?

    It would be nice if only I understand what the lyric means. Somehow I feel touched but without knowing the lyrics, it feels such a shame to unable to enjoy it to the fullest.

    It would be a simple matter to translate the lyrics, but displaying them is not so simple... It would definitely be worth doing though, as it is almost a musical manga.

    Very nice. ^^
    When I get home from work today I'll see about putting some English subs on it.

    Artefact - could you upload the flv you put in your post somewhere to download directly? I can't find a nice version of it anywhere, and want to add subs ^^

    Lyrics here in the meantime:

    Here you are. It's the high quality version (same file I used in the post), I had to wait until Sunday morning to get it without economy mode wrecking the file. I can start putting DL links into the player if people would rather I do so.

    Would you like me to post the subbed version?

    Wow, it makes me really sad.

    Don't have the mp3 myself otherwise I'd put it up for you, but you should be able to extract the audio from the flv...

    I find it hard to believe that so many people haven't heard Kokoro before, it came out almost half a year ago, and probably is the most loved Rin song besides Aku no musume!

    I think you're underestimsting the appeal of a MAD with anime elements... Most of the popular MADs have the anime part included.

    A little late and whatnot, but...would anyone happen to have any information leading to sheet music/the source file for the song?

    Don't worry about the lateness. Dug this out for you and anyone else interested:

    You can find ココロ (search for this) in both normal and karaoke mp3 versions:

    The song itself is old news, however, the video was new, of good quality, and worth the wait to load. I applaud the author's animation skills.

    I made enquiries about which new, different, possibly promising new candidates for parliamentary office are popping out of the woodwork. ,

    There's another version of this though. It's more story-like and touching.
