Digimon Adventure Tri OPENING Full Butter-Fly

Butter-Fly by Kouji Wada.

[hirosoriano]

He didn't die, he found the door to the digital world ..

[ahmedbenkhalfallah]

Dont cry because he died. Smile because he lived and gave us this.

[KoeSeer]

he kickstarted his music career with Butterfly. He left this world with the new Butterfly.

he really was a butterfly.

[Megamean]

High key, I love this rendition. It's got this feeling of nostalgia and comfort, the perfect way to open Tri: it was called Reunion not just because the chosen children were reunited with their partners, but because WE were reunited with them. This rendition feels like we're being greeted as an old friend.

He passed away two days after singing this version for digimon tri, is like was his last wish. He was feeling really bad but gathered all his last energy to do it. 😥

Rest in peace Kouji Wada. Your song makes me cry for a sense of beauty and I will always remember what you have done for us all.

[TheStepmonkey]

RIP Kouji Wada, the Legendary Anime Singer...

English versions regularly mess it up, Koji expresses it up perfectly. Everything is falling apart, and I'm getting weak, but my love is still strong enough to lift us up with my broken wings.

Rest in peace, you beautiful immortal butterfly anisong angel. The world is much more beautiful thanks to your contributions.

I say this 5 years after this song was made. I've grown up with Digimon since the beginning. Yeah, I wasn't born when it began, but I've watched every episode and every movie ever made since it's beginning. Did it have it's ups and downs? Yes, yes it did. Did it fall flat in some parts where it shouldn't have? Yes, yes it did! But you know what? I don't care! Why? Because this series has been with me since the beginning! I've seen it from start to finish in the 17-18 years I've been alive! Even as I grow older and move on towards the future, I still come back to this series. Why? Because it's been there since the beginning! Will I still watch this series in the future, even as I grow old? YES! WHY?! BECAUSE IT'S BEEN WITH ME SINCE THE BEGINNING!


I SAY THIS NOT AS THE KID WHO GREW UP WITH IT, NOR AS THE ADULT WHO'S MOVING PAST HIS CHILDHOOD. I SAY THIS AS THE SPIRIT WHO FELL IN LOVE WITH THE SHOW THAT'S BEEN THERE SINCE THE BEGINNING!


THIS IS MY BEGINNING, AND THUS, MY JOURNEY AS THE ALOOF SPIRIT WHO WISHES TO SEE MORE AND MORE, AGAIN AND AGAIN.


*UNTIL MY SPIRIT GOES, I WILL JOURNEY ON WITH THESE CHOSEN CHILDREN!*

[nurasaleh]

My eyes tear up every time I listen to this dunno why :(

Gokigen na chou ni natte kirameku kaze ni notte

I may have grown up with and loved the English Dub/OST, But I will always appreciate the effort and quality of the original OST/Dub.

Rest in peace Kouji, I only hope your passing was peaceful.

[NanoShifter]

the guitar at the end is my favorite part!

[ANIME]

sigh another great singer from my childhood gone. How many more can i lose before i lose them all. RIP Kouji Wada. You will forever be in our hearts as long as their is digimon their will always be Kouji Wada.

[teenyfroog]

I DONT CARE IF ITS BEEN 4 YEARS HES STILL ALIVE IN OUR HEARTS

[untillthat]

There's something about this song that inevitably makes me tear up despite how happy and upbeat it seems. ❤️ Digimon will always have a special place in my heart.

[mazxz]

Being a gen z kid, I definitely can't relate to this as much as some of the older viewers, but I did grow up with Digimon. I remember finding it while trying to find Pokemon ( oof ik ) on Netflix. I ended up stumbling upon the first season of Digimon and was hooked. At the time, I didn't know who Koji Wada was but had definitely heard his music somewhere.


When I found this song and found out about Koji Wada's death, I found myself surprisingly emotional, even shedding a few tears, remembering binge-watching episodes, and rewatching seasons multiple times. Koji has been, (and still is) a big part of my childhood.


I wish the best upon Koji's legacy and hope it lives on for many years to come.

[DVTHEFOX]

Thanks for the real deal, without silences nor stuff at the beginning-end

[memesaucestudios]

Even though I grew up with the English dub, this is easily one of my favorite songs of all time

[Chris-ucdt]

Me while watching Tri: Well, it is mediocre.
Me when listening to Kouji-san: Tri is amazing.
