エピローグ ~親しき仲間へ "To my Dear Friends" - arranged by Erutan ( katethegreat19 )
Музыка
My vocal rendition of Yasunori Mitsuda's エピローグ ~親しき仲間へ~ "To my Dear Friends" (a.k.a. 'Far Off Promise') from Chrono Trigger, one of my favorite RPGs of all time!
All vocals, instrumentals, lyrics and art by me.
Dedicated to all my dear friends...you know who you are.
I had quite a tough time recording this as I'm getting over a vocal strain and laryngitis episode that I had this past holiday season. Thought I needed to get something up regardless ^^;
For the art I drew the characters in my style, it's been quite a while since I did any fan art! Lots of fun, and challenging! All of Robo's parts!!! And Frog...it was hard to find a pose that made him look epic instead of comical ^^; Going to upload these on my deviantart if anyone wants a closer look later.
thanks for listening!

It's my brother's favorite game. He loved it so much he would often listen to this game's soundtracks. Which is why during his funeral, the music box version of this is the one we decided to play.

Came back to visit this old favorite and saw your comment. I'm so sorry to hear of your loss. A bit of unrequested advice; as you move forward and heal, think of your next pets as the successors and inheritors of your pets' legacies. It helped me remind myself I wasn't replacing the previous pet and also reminded me the new pet is a new personality and their own dog (in my case). I've taught her a few things her predecessor knew and she's learned things her predecessor never did. She's a different dog, but she is a most worthy successor to inherit the leash. I don't miss my prior dog so much now as I regret she and the new dog didn't get to share time together and I know they would have loved playing together. Best wishes and prayers you heal from the grief.

I'll drink to that. Three cheers to Kate the Great!
My father has passed away a couple of weeks ago. About 10 minutes before he did, and I realized that there is nothing more I can do, I sat by his piano in the next room and played for him, hoping that hearing me play on his old piano would be the best comfort I can give to him at that moment. The only tune that came to my fingers at that time was To my dear friends by Yasunori Mitsuda. I played it and came back to the room and a few minutes later he passed away peacefully in my arms. I stayed strong through the funeral, trying to be useful, support my mother and made sure all the arrangements were made in place. Now as I sit and listen to this, i can finally let my emotions out. Thank you so much for this beautiful version of one of my favorite musical pieces of all time. This song will forever be engraved in my heart as a memory of my father, and your version will always be kept on my hard drive (or whatever replaces them in the future) for the rest of my life.
Although I have never played this game.....this song connect's with me..... I lost many friends but I remember there faces clearly when I listen to this. Upon this day I make a promise.... I won't hate the future or favor the past but rather love both... And sing this song is to my children.
I just want to know, is there anything you can't do? You have one of the most beautiful voices I've ever heard, you can play many, many instruments, some are even rather obscure, and you can draw? To top it off you''re incredibly beautiful. I want to be jealous but I can't, I'm too much in awe. I really love all your videos! Please keep singing forever more!
She has such a soothing voice..wow...my tomorrow will be filled with thoughts of freinds and I hope I learn what honor is someday
hearing this song in 2020 makes me cried so bad, it makes me remebered that I just lost contact from two of my friend living in another city and another one is studying abroad. Our journey since junior high seems like a vivid dreams nowadays.
I always hated lyrical interpretations of instrumental music, specially on OSTs. This videos is an exception. I played Chrono Trigger when I was 13. I used emulators to play it and I was really really happy back then, laughing about everything. I'm 22, now, with a job and a family to take care of and almost 10 years later, I don't laugh that much anymore. Games doesn't seem that much of a fun. However, remembering this game, remembering how it feels to save the world from Lavos made me smile like I was a child. Thank you!
Wow! I can't believe I missed this track, after all these years! I thought I had heard all of your covers already, so it feels sort of like getting a gift! :)
Chrono Trigger is one awesome game! I love how you sang this song!
I finally found a song to dedicate to my friends this upcoming season of Lent...God bless you forever, Kate...
Please never delete this version. Best regards from Chile.
Lyrics, anyone? エピローグ ~親しき仲間へ "To my Dear Friends" - arranged by Erutan ( katethegreat19 ) The wheels of time have turned, and left their trails on every soul, and through memories I walk, their voices to hear, however faint, their tones resound in me, in a warrior's ageless heart. Dear friends, I loved you well, each steadfast heart, our dreams kept within, and though those days are lost, our story lives on, in bonds we forged, in battle blazing bright, in a warrior's ageless heart. (Vocal Solo) Now, by the hearth I rest, my battered blade, old friend by the fire, and an image I keep, their faces to see, each one so dear, forever bound to me, in a warrior's ageless heart. (Vocal Solo Chorus)

I'm so sorry for your loss! God bless you, love!!
I don't cry easily, but listening to this had me in tears. I love this song, and Chrono Trigger is such an amazing game.
I think, of all the songs you've made, this one is easily my favorite. I've come back to it repeatedly over the years. It hits a very deep and nostalgic part of me... not even because of Chrono Trigger or anything, I still haven't actually gotten far in the game, and believe me, I've tried. This arrangement is gorgeous, and I can't even start it up without getting teary-eyed. You did good. Be proud.

It is such an easy RPG compared to others. I hope you eventually finish the game so you can know how it ends. I come back to this video repeatedly too. It’s my favourite rendition of Marle’s theme song.
another brilliant rendition.. thank you soo much for sharing these
Beautiful! Music, artwork, everything. Beautiful.
Holy gods, I've heard a LOT of arrangements of this piece, and this one is definitely one of the most beautiful!
Magical! I really love the artwork. The "wheels of time" in the lower left corner works so well.
Amazing music ! Thank you very much !
Your voice is so beautiful, especially paired with such pretty and delicate music💖 your art is also awesome!!
This is by far the best remake I've ever heard of this song. I'll definitely have to check out others as well.
Beautiful as always. I adore your music as well as the Chrono series and this just brightened my day considerably. ♥
Beautiful song, as always, Kate.
this is my favorite song from Chrono Trigger!! Thank you for making this
This is officially one of my top 3 favorite video's on KZread!
i like your vocals. With every song and cover i listen to it is very relaxing
The beautiful, sparse instrumentation made this almost feel like a Christmas carol to me. Warm, inviting, and very personal. Nice work, as always. =)
I love your voice. I always play this video when I'm down. Thank you for making this.
I certainly can't say what's already been said, but just know this; this is one of the most amazing songs I've ever heard~ Thank you for treating us to such a lovely rendition. :3
So glad to have your account back! I think I'll celebrate by listening to this song again.
I'm glad your account is back and thank you for this wonderful music and awesome drawings.
I love the little clock animation in the bottom corner! Really happy to see something new from you, amazing as always
Couldn't have picked a better song from chrono trigger for you. Kudos to you kate, never quit doing these songs for us!
Wow, Discovered this after playing CT for the first time. Couldn't wait to hear what you'd do with that end loop and you nailed it, so gorgeous!
this brings back so many memory's regarding the amount of fun i had playing trigger on the snes, combined with your voice i might as well be in heaven.
Another enchanting masterpiece - love it! ♥
Great work Kate, as always. Nice Art too!
Wonderful, just wonderful! The lyrics in the song brings back all the memories from playing Chrono Trigger.
Chrono Trigger was the RPG that made me love RPGs. You did it so much justice with this song, and even the art. You're so talented!
As always, the beauty of your voice brought tears to my eyes :)
YAY!!!! I've missed your music! It's nice to hear a new cover from you! Lovely as always.
You have no idea how long I've waited to hear you sing something from Chrono Trigger and you more then made that wait worth that time. Amazing. This is was so spectacular.
Welcome back Miss Kate. You've made me tear up to this song.
Chrono Trigger is my favourite game of all time. This was exactly what I needed on a bad day. Thank you so much Kate. For everything you've done for me over the years. The melody, the beauty, the music. You always bring me back to bask in the light. Thank you. For being there.
I Heard your version once and totally felt in love with the way you interpreted this. Somehow I lost track of it and today I was able to hear it again... You did a wonderful rendition. Encaptured the feeling of the story and the bond between the characters. So, congratulations!!!
This is... just beautiful, it captures everything about the game and the lyrics really does speaks for the game itself.
Thank you oh great Erutan! Wonderful
I would say this is fabulous, amazing, magical, timeless, beautiful and flawless. But it's your work. These things are simply understood to apply to everything you do.
I just love how well you made the words fit the music tone and pace so prefectly. Beautiful work as always kate. You have unlimited talent. The drawings fit so well to add to the charm of an already charming song. Keep up the excellent work.
This is very enchanting, Very smooth and soft voice, good lyrics too. Brava! :)
I never get tired of listening to these songs of your Kate.
Daaaaaaaamn this one hitted on the weakest spot, the feels.
Indeed great you are Kate, thanks a lot!
Kate, as ever your choice in music is impeccable and your voice that of an angel, please never stop what you do.
WHY DOES THIS SONG GIVE SUCH A VERY SAD AND HAPPY NOSTALGIC FEELING LITERALLY TRAVELING MEMORY LANE EVERYINE I LISTEN TO THIS SONG. EVERYTHING THAT I'VE DONE WITH MY BEST FRIENDS LIKE ALL OF THE FUN MEMORIES I HAD WITH THEM
What a beautiful piece from a wonderful game. You did an amazing job and the art was just so great. You truly are talented.
Kate this song was my inspiration for finally buying and playing Chrono Trigger. Thank you so much for leading me to such a Jewel of a game!!
I recently did a playthrough of CT for the first time since I was... well, a lot younger! It also spurred me on to buy Chrono Cross, which I'd been putting off for ages. Between Trigger and Cross, I spent a good few months completely entranced in the Chrono universe again and had a new appreciation for all of it - especially the soundtracks! And one of my reoccurring thoughts was that I NEEDED to hear Kate do a cover of some of them. Thank you so much, this is beyond beautiful.
probably the most beautiful version of this I have ever heard
Beautiful. Just...absolutely beautiful. The fondest of farewells for one's dearest friends...
A very pretty song! Very well sung too can't wait to see what you do next xox
Dam, that was just beautiful..goose bumps and stuff thanks kate.
Amazing as always! :) Love the music and the art!
I must have listened to this arrangement fifty times, and the second stanza brought tears to my eyes every time. I just taught my 8 years old daughter how to play Chrono Trigger. The torches have been passed.
Lobe the song and the art work. Keep doing an amazing job kate.
You are so talented. I really love your songs!! You have got yourself a new fan.
Oowww, right in the feels! Why is it that ANY song by this girl makes me tear up??? Even the dragons nest song that doesn't have real words makes me tear up! This must be real magic over the interwebs.
So beautiful and amazing! I can't get enough of your songs!
"...and though those days are lost, our story lives on..." So much nostalgia haha.
listening with tears of joy
Awesome cover Kate, it sounds so beautiful! ;_; The lyrics, art, and arrangement are amazing! I didn't know the original one, I've just listened to it and I prefer yours, I can't help it! Thanks for uploading it!!
Always so beautiful... Thanks for those little moment of magic when nothing exist around us, exept your peaceful songs. Thank you.
The ending is too die for. You are precious to us Kate!!
A voice filled with so much beauty and emotion, you never fail to surprise Kate. Thank you for making such a beautiful vocal rendition from one of the greatest RPGs of my time!
Well worth the wait. Your singing, playing, and lyrics are as beautiful as ever. Also, Crono Trigger is an amazing game, I'm glad you were able to do something so amazing with one of its best songs.
One of my favorite games of all time! Thanks Kate!
U just are amazing I loved this RPG also. (inner thought) I still cant get over your final fantasy covers
how gorgeous
Beautiful, simply beautiful
1st chorus and it suddenly felt that something hit my heart Thank you.
Wow very nice cross-hatching work for the shading! I too, love cross-hatching because it have this medieval feeling or something like that to it. Thanks for sharing this to us!
I used to play this song before I go to sleep, it makes me feel so at peace.
Just when I thought that perhaps you had run out of ideas, you go and show me how wrong I was by bringing back a classic. This song and game hold so many memories for me! I will always be listening to this now.
I started to cry it's so beautiful
This made me feel very peaceful whilst trying to study. Thank you for sharing your work. I found this soothing when in need of...well, being soothed. Your artwork is adorable, too. Such lovely detail in the characters clothing and shading. Have a great day
You're so multi-talented ^^ Art, video-editing, arranging music, playing many instruments, singing, etc. It's amazing =)
This is the very depiction of divine!
Great rendition there Kate n.n this song gave me goosebumps! Keep up the good work.
Your voice, your art, your musical instruments, how you put them all together... magical
It's beautiful, one of my favorite songs from one of my favorite games. Thank you Kate, you truly make the world a better place.
The frog really looks epic..... awesome:)
Chrono trigger will forever be my favorite game and story in all time no matter how old it is. This song and artwork really resurrected how much I love chrono trigger.
This entire video is amazing. I love your drawings! The style is great with the antique time look. The lyrics are very fitting to the game's themes, and your voice is breathtaking as always.
Simply beautiful...
