Waiting For The Rain (Acoustic Cover)【JubyPhonic】「Asterisk War ED」

Sakamoto Maaya gives me life.

It's officially 2016 and I'll be turning 21 soon! It's kinda scary to think but I'll probably get over it the moment that I eat some birthday cake honestly. You live and you learn.

So this song is somewhat special to me because I literally grew up listening to the original singer of this song Maaya and pretty much learned to sing from copying her. Not that my Japanese got any better haha. But she still remains one of my favorite singers of all time and am so happy to be singing a cover of her ending song (from Asterisk War). I did my best! This is an offering to my goddess!

--------LYRICS---------

I'm waiting for the rain
I'm bracing for the thunder
A twig that wouldn't sway
In the wind

Awaken from a dream
Arising from a slumber
I'm far away from home
On my own

Hear my yearning
See the crimson flame
Like a ruby
It's the hope
In my eye

If you go away
And I don't see you anymore
I still wouldn't sway
But I'd be
Missing you
Now don't be afraid
You the flower couldn't sting
You can hide in my shade
Or maybe I...
Could I be safe
In yours?

A moment left to bloom
I wither by the morning
Can we be staying here
For a while

Hear my yearning
See my raging light
It's my token that we won't
Say goodbye

If you go away
And I don't see you anymore
I still wouldn't sway
But I'd be
Missing you
Now don't be afraid
You the flower couldn't sting
You can hide in my shade
Or maybe I...

Would go away
And I don't see you anymore
I still wouldn't sway
But I'd be
Missing you
Now don't be afraid
We are lasting yet awhile
I will give you a day
Or maybe I...
Could I have one
Of yours?

I'm waiting for the rain...

You honestly sound so amazing here, so serene and emotional that it nearly brings me to tears. This is awesome Juby

[makochiko.y]

I am a Japanese, and most of English does not know it.
But, to hear your singing voice, I became your fan! I am very beautiful and am impressed!
It is smart, and I am sorry, may I request it? Would you sing music to be called "black bord" if good? Yes, please.

[AkaneSasuSora]

YES THE MUSIC THE SINGING THE ART THE EVERYTHING YES

[officialSARE]

My favourite song!!! Awesome take on it, your vocals are amazing!

[lifetimeskater]

This is incredible!! One of the most beautiful songs I've EVER heard!

[SepiaDaysMusic]

omg you did maaya sakamoto. she's a legend. so glad you covered this. sounds beautiful as always!

[jaygofaygo]

I can't get over how beautiful this is. Not only in acoustics, but in clear tone and confidence. As a seasoned choir performer, you (juby) have the clearest and cleanest tone I have ever heard, and this particular arrangement showcases this. Goose flesh every time. Your uploads make my day. Keep up the fantastic work

[brock]

going through my liked videos found this actually reminded me of the anime. havent had the time to watch or get into any anime since like last year the anime wasnt the greatest but it definetly is worth another watch

[AnimeMidi]

Love your cover <3. Suits your calm and powerful voice <3. Tbh, in my country it's more like; I'm waiting for the rain.. to stop : (

[killerop]

This.. made me shake a little bit. Very powerful vocals that send chills down my spine and goosebumps all over, but in a good way. Very timely, as I just finished Asterisk Wars as well. Thank you for a wonderful cover.

[Astin-D]

No I'm not gonna wait for the rain I'm going to run from the rain !

[ttiscrying]

Artists:how cute you want this to be
Juby:
YES.

[patientbrad]

What a beautiful song. The piano evokes an image as though it's being played in a very large empty room, at a distance from the microphone. It goes well with the wistful sentiments.

[xpump]

Waiting For The Rain - this is a haunting, evocative & truly excellent piece of music - i love this and it will remain in my heart

[Maplie]

This deserves more views, I can't stop singing to it!

[XZeroLive]

Such an amazing cover to an amazing song. I watched asterisk wars and when the ending came on and I heard it for the first time, I thought it was amazing. Then I proceeded to replay it for like 3 weeks straight lol. It absolutely blew me away. And this cover definitely does it the justice it deserves.

[igreencat]

didnt expect you to make this cover. OMG Juby-sama you're just the best for me <3

[fsn]

So much tingles when the first listen.

[itsPeachIce]

Coming in clutch, I was subconsciously looking for this dub!
Thank you for your psychic abilities!

[mererose]

I think I'm cursed because I can't stop listening to it, so beautiful!!
