[Vocaloid Original] 1000 Cranes (feat. Hibiki Koto V6)

Hello! My channel just turned six years old! This song is inspired by the legend of the one thousand origami cranes and my friend, who is working on an art project that involves creating cranes from different materials. It was a lot of fun to make, and Hibiki Koto's voice was perfect for this. Stay tuned for more music before my break ends!

Lyrics:

Paper wings trace the air,
each one cradling a dream

A thousand rise, a thousand gleam,
Yet some lie crumpled on the ground,
dreams discarded, dreams unbound.
If I fold them up again,
could they learn to fly like then?

O R I G A M I
Folding cranes until I die

Even if my hands should tire,
I will fold until a thousand

O R I G A M I
Folding cranes until I die

And if I reach the final one,
will the stars grant my wish?

Start with a square
Fold into a triangle,
with the pattern on the inside
Make an X crease
Flip the paper over and fold in it half
Unfold and refold
Bring the short ends into the middle
Making a square with two layers of paper on either side
Fold the top layer of raw edges
Make them meet the middle seam of the square
Do this on both the left and right
Repeat on the other side

O R I G A M I
Folding cranes until I die
As the water drips, a steady sound
I hope it doesn't reach the cranes above


Ceramic cranes dropped, deemed too heavy to fly
Their shattered wings on marble lie
Built too strong,
rigid dreams meet their end

Hot glue cranes, clear as glass,
fragile look that hold steadfast.
Transparent wings, yet firm in flight,
keeping all dreams bound tight


Acetate cranes, thin and bright,
hollow wings that disappear
Weightless forms with nothing inside

A thousand cranes...
Some still hang, some touch the floor,
some were lost, but we make more
A thousand dreams...


Crease down the top triangle,
but keep it up, now unfold the flaps
and bring the top layer of paper upwards
you must let the two sides fold in on themselves
If you follow the steps mentioned
you will form an elongated diamond
Repeat on the other side

With the split end facing you,
fold the top layer on the bottom outer edges halfway towards the middle seam
Then fold down the top layer to its natural stop
Then, repeat on the other side

Flip the right top most layer of paper over to the left

Bring up the bottom point as far as it will go
Fold down bout the top fourth of the point
Flip the top most right layer to the left
Bring the tail and the head out from the middle and crease in place
Do the same for the head in the neck
Fold up the wings
And let it fly

Start with a square
Fold into a dream
Once you are done
O R I G A M I
Make another
Get more paper
Your wishes mean more to you
