Greetings fellow geeks! I'm new here but have been lurking around for quite some time following a few threads here and there (particularly all the Rebuild drama) and have decided to start posting. So hi :)

Anyway, I've been racking my brain and my youtube history for a video I saw recently. It was a live/studio performance of either A Cruel Angel's Thesis or Beautiful World - but I can't for the life of me remember which one, nor can I remember if they were sung by their original artists. The video also had cuts of the anime (or the new movies, honestly can't remember) during the performance, and I distinctly remember it starting with some shots and scenes of Asuka, though I could be wrong.

It's currently 6:20am here in Australia and I'm leaving this thread overnight (overmorning?) as a last ditch effort in hopes that a fellow fan knows which video I'm talking about! I also considered posting this in the "Everything Else Evangelion" subforum but thought it would garner more views here. If the thread belongs there, feel free to move it!

Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance :)

I can tell you are new here, and I think I recall something similar to what you may be talking about. But, i am not %100 sure.

Can you remember what song it was?

Cruel Angel's Thesis by Yoko Takahashi:

While browsing, I noticed someone who asked a similar question to you on a live version of Cruel Angel, so it might be this?[url]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JnbBdtuEtj0[/url]


Beautiful World by Utada Hikaru (note there are two different versions of this song for 1.XX and 2.XX respectively)

Also, welcome to the forums, ionzzz!

As I said, I honestly cannot remember which of the two songs it was. I am starting to think it might have been Beautiful World, just because I have been through almost every live performance of a Cruel Angel's Thesis to no avail. And if it was Beautiful World, I'm pretty sure the performance wasn't by Utada Hikaru (at least it didn't look like her, but I may be wrong).

Anyway, this is the closest thing I've found to what I'm looking for, although I'm pretty certain it's not the right video:

Thanks for your interest though!
