The Macross series has so many straight-up bangers that every now and then I forget that the slower songs are a different category of special and sweet.
Question for you as Macross Fans. I started at Macross Delta & I'm kind of getting into the Series but when seeing the reviews about Delta, most of the Fandom doesn't seem to like Delta & I kind of see why... How are you guys about Delta?
@@marklouiegarcia2588 the plot of Delta is good but just rushed a lot of characters not that much characters development for all of them except the main 3 cast.
My friend sent me this link to this version of the song and I clicked it, afraid I wouldn't like it. I'm glad my preconceptions were wrong! When translating a song to be sung, artistic liberties are necessary as a literal translation won't fit the rhythm as easily as it happens in the DYRL movie. Interpretations may vary, and it depends on how one conceives what is implied. As I read the original Japanese lyrics, the song strikes me as a bittersweet song, a message to a loved one who has passed on. It's about memories of love and recovering from a mourning phase. She has cried every day since he departed, defeated by loneliness. She envisions him as an image, beckoning her. She feels his warmth, even though he is not there. She asks him to watch over her from far away, though he has departed. But she still feels his presence and is now a part of her. Perhaps my interpretation is a bit sadder, but the version in this video brought a tear to my eye nevertheless.
Got here by accident, from original Japanese version, have to say this song is a very nice surprise. That you captured the original feeling and even mostly the lyric of the original（not easy task）too is truly unbelievable super work! And thank you!
The fact you managed to mantain the overall original feel and rythm of the song in this cover really is amazing. Infact now that i understand the lyrics, the song becomes that more impactful overall.
The fact that this masterpiece and hidden gem has not gained massively more traction than it only has at this point (209K views) is an injustice. This cover is so underrated and splendid, and I love it to bits!
Me listening to Japanese version with no lyrics: "What a beautiful song, despite me not knowing the words." Me listening to this English version: "Amazing.. The lyrics are so touching! ;_; Your voice is wonderful"
The lyrics in this video are not a direct translation of the Japanese version, but an intentional translation, which makes it all the more touching. For example, a direct translation of the first phrase would be following. Now I hear your voice saying "Come here" to me as I'm about to give in to loneliness. The lyrics in this video sound more pleasant because the lyrics fit well with the music.
I have listened to the Japanese version of this song since 38 years ago and still brings back memories. Now happened to find this beautiful song in English version. It is extremely well done and very close to the original Japanese version. Well done and thank you.
I've listened to it now, and wow... you nailed it! 👏 I had to go watch this scene from the movie again, and I don't regret it. Britai's turn-around is still the coolest thing ever.
The original used to be my husband and my dance. Now this cover is. My husband and I know your lyrics by heart. Thank you so much for working on this, you've touched so many hearts with this, at least two :)
City beats to defend humanity to. Totally can't stop myself from singing along to that chorus like it's an anthem. Suddenly, forgotten dreams of covering Runner are coming back to me.
This was a memorable scene in the movie: Exsedol-4970: I have found the answer. The culture of those who provided our genes is being awakened. Britai-7018: What? Exsedol-4970: After transcending over 500,000 cycles... Britai-7018: Can culture really be brought back to us?
There's just something about your voice that truly fits this kind of music so well and gives it warmth and life. Hitting that chorus, it's just so moving ;-;, amazing content as always
My boyfriend died on the 22nd of May 2022. I dedicated this song to him.He was my “first & only” and “I love him so.” Please, Rest In Peace Gregory M Lattin. Babe, I will always love you. 😢
My condolences. Loss, sadly, has no easy remedy. Especially if you were truly close. Personal loss is always something that will rip into you. For years to come.
One day all of us present here will leave, but our greatest feelings will remain indelibly impregnated in a song, in a melody, a song like this one, which perhaps, like this song in the anime, will be rediscovered and resurfaced again after thousands of years.
y'know, it's funny how poignant this song really is when you think about it. The first time i actually heard it was when i watched Macross Frontier if i remember correctly, it took me a bit to learn that it was older than that and the "Do you remember love?" version by Mari Iijima kinda became the "true" version for me. I never thought i'd hear an english version ACTUALLY do it justice. Like there was one version i heard a while back that was . . . good, but not on the same level. So to hear this and get shivers up and down my body at several points through it all is just an *extreme* treat for me. So while i hold the original in high regards? What you've done is absolutely splendid and matches the original in pretty much every single way. In short, you have created *C U L T U R E*
It's tragic that Harmony Gold will continue to squat on the Macross IP rights for the foreseeable future. In another timeline, Caitlin's cover could be featured in an English 4k re-release of this 80s anime classic.
Just in April it was announced that Macross is going to be released internationally after an agreement between Big West and HG. www.thegamer.com/iconic-mecha-anime-macross-finally-has-official-western-release/ www.kotaku.com.au/2021/04/after-decades-of-conflict-were-finally-getting-official-macross-releases-in-the-west/
@@TheShadowraith Unfortunately, from what we've seen so far, it appears as if Funimation is using the legal precedent set by that so-called "settlement" to release Robotech on BluRay, and I confirmed with Funimation directly, it won't contain the original Japanese audio. Subsequently, at least in the USA so far, it will just be Carl Macek's atrocity of a bowdlerization which is best left buried and forgotten like his corpse, which will instead be preserved for posterity, unnecessarily. You can of course, import マクロス on BluRay, but it will be about 3X the cost. I guess that's what I will be doing, but then, back in the days when all of this was still new rather than nostalgic, I was also collecting the 1/55th scale Takatoku Toys Valkyries and such too.
Facts. The Robotech guys tell me that theirs is way better than Macross. After having seen both, I wish I'd never wasted time on that abomination that is Robotech. Macross just makes so much more sense.
@@phantomrider2112 the Robotech novels are actually fantastic. ignore the animation, check out the stories. The macross material gave us two incredible IPs imho!
@@phantomrider2112 It is what it is, we shouldn't hate Carl Macek or what he felt he had to do to bring the three shows together to form Robotech. It was what he thought was necessary.

Perfect cover of this song. Robotech was a little before my time when it originally aired but I watched reruns of it back in the mid 90s when I was kid. Never forgot this song or other song Minmei sang. This brought good memories and a big smile on my face. Thank you Ms. Myers.
@@paulinelambert7780 i clearly isn’t it aged badly not to mention the changed songs and theme really didn’t respect what macross was honestly it’s my opinion I tried watching robotech and I’m be honest I couldn’t even sit down for one episode compared to macross that till this day is one of my favorite anime serious
My favourite anime series of all time.... and the music just gets better with the newer remakes. You gave me the tingles from this song. Your voice is spectacular.
Goosebumps. I've cried a little bit from this cover vid. I've never even seen the series but I know this song from way way back. Thank you for making this.
“Protoculture!!!” Hikaru then proceeds to fill Baldoza’s head full of ordinance and auto cannon fire. If they do an official English dub for DYRL since it’s probably going to finally get to come to the states they should use this version of the song. I don’t think anyone else could do it better.
Dear Caitlin...AWESOME JOB !!!...it brings back so many memories. finally an english version. Wen couples argue, i play this song. A Healing Tool. Thank u n Blessing too.
Holy crap, I found the original JPN version a few years ago and lost it in the depths of UA-cam. I found it again recently and I was like "Dang, wish there was an English version of this." You absolutely crushed it singing this. Every part of this is on point with the original, somehow. I really need to watch Macross lmao.
This is a very elegant adaptation. I do this for a living (but for Japanese into Spanish) so I can definitelly tell. From translation to timing and syllable adjustment. Very, very nicely done. Congrats to everyone involved!
To have watched this anime Macross through the whole entire series many times reminds me of long long ago, and yet just yesterday...I can only hope that others can and will find some of the music from then can relate to so many people today. Memories both good and bad wrapped together in joy and sadness of loss and looking to an uncertain future, that we all have to navigate on our own journey and uet together in our own ways....Thank You for a glimpse
I’m in love with my best friend. I’ve never been in a relationship, so every single line rings true for me. This is probably what I’ll use to tell her when I’m ready. Your voice is so beautiful. Those high notes are absolutely graceful! I definitely should have found this sooner than I did.
Oh my goodness, thank you for this amazing English cover, especially in the current calendar year! I have been on a Macross binge for the last month or so (especially with the news of Harmony Gold loosening their stranglehold on the license), and it is bringing me so much joy to see this series has still endeared in the hearts of many. Keep up the amazing work!
Me again. This time, this one hits home; I've been a Macross fan for years and there's a soft spot in my cold, dark heart for Minmay and her songs, especially D.Y.R.L. You've made a grown man shed a tear lady. Thanks.
I love this so much! 😍 Macross is one of my favorite anime series' of all time. I never thought I'd hear such an amazing english cover of one of the songs. You captured the feel of the original so well, even when changing the language. I'm honestly really impressed.
outstanding. so often I see english versions by fans that are too harsh to hear due to the wrong choice of words. The verbal flow usually isn't pleasing or too percussive in parts when it shouldnt be, or the sentences lack the elegance of good songwriting / matching the original language's feel; but you've done a wonderful job with this one. I looooove the original and this is a worthy english counterpart. Cheers!
Got here from the LeeAndLie version, and while I love that version as well, this struck me as more real and authentic. I really appreciate the care and love you put into this.
I've loved this song for over half my life now (I turn 32 this year), and while I've heard a number of English covers, I think this is the only that has ever impressed me. Great job!
The last 2-3 years the world events were not so awesome. But with the support of great artists making and singing masterpieces like this. We can find the power to deal with everything that is going on.
Fun (?) Trivia (?): The song “Do You Remember Love” is actually canonically written in English. It is sung in Japanese because... its and anime but who knows? Maybe Minmei is just a master in on-the-fly song translation. Heck, the most widespread language in the Macross is probably English. Everyone “speaks” Japanese since its an Anime.
In this animated story, the boss of the Zentraedi army, Bodlzer, had only music plates and no lyrics. Meanwhile, among the ancient ruins left on earth, Misa picked up a plate, but did not know what was written on it. However, after hearing the aforementioned music, Misa realized. What was written on the plate was a lyric. Misa then analyzed the plate and translated it into Japanese. At this time, a lyric was created in which one Japanese letter was assigned to each one note. In reality, the song was written in Japanese by Kazumi Yasui and composed by Kazuhiko Kato. The song was then translated into English.
wow.....i mean....wow.....You captured the essence of Mari Ijima so well as well as the spirit of this song. I heard 3 verisons and now I've heard yours. Miss...its Legendary. I hope you get to be a Macross Idol if another series rolls around. You LITERALLY are the BEST english Minmei singer ever. your voice is powerful yet soft,a perfect blend. you're awesome. these words can't describe adequately how your performance makes me feel. I'll say this though PROTOCULTURE!!!!
I went on a nostalgia run with old anime, getting along with my age. This whole scene, action, characters and music holds such a place in my heart, so naturally hearing this fantastic English cover, you've captured the tone, the rhythm and mood of the Japanese version. "I'll never be all alone" hits so hard, maybe it's not so hard to believe one can fall in love again? Thank you for making this cover.
My wife and I danced to the platina jazz cover of this song on our wedding day 3 years ago. This cover makes me wish I could go back in time with a flash drive and play your version instead 😩
Thank you for posting the video. I am a big fan of Macross/Robotech as so many are, and appreciate hearing the English version of the song. Thank you again!!!!!!
Such a great song, and you do so much justice to it. Visual wise I love the VHS type effect. :D Also, as a side note... you have my vote for VA of any Macross re-releases.
@@caitlinmyers I think the original artist, Mari Iijima, is in the US & can now actually sing it in ENGLISH! All we need to do is see if she'll use your lyrics or come up with her own or use someone else's. Still, it would be GREAT to have you two duet this song! Just speculating! Well? How about it, Caitlin? You up for it?
Caitlin you just made this 43 year old SDF Macross fan's eyes water and gave the lump in my throat Ijima Mari has since 1990 when I first saw MACROSS: DYRL. After hearing your covers of Plastic Love and Stay By Me I said to a friend... it be something is she did a cover for D.Y.R.L. and whattaya' know. You nailed it! Now I know the song in English. It brought back my younger days when anime in the states was a chore to get or extremely expensive for 1 episode per tape. THANK YOU! And dammit if I ain't in love with your voice. Please keep doing covers of awesome songs.
I absolutely love this song even though I've never heard the original. Never before has a song made me long to love and feel loved like the way you've beautifully delivered it with this outstanding performance. Thank you.
Beautiful voice, I love how it sounds in Japanese, but seeing that it also rhymes in English while sounding lovely was cool! I'm a long time Macross fan, having first watched Robotech as a child and then learning about it's origins 22 years ago. I know have a 400+ item collection of rare Macross resin/plastic kits, toys, magazines, movies and posters going back to 1982, most in pristine condition and a lot are extremely rare from Wonder Festivals.
Wow, amazing English translation and keeping the rhythm so close to the Japanese version! Awesome work, thank you for doing this for Macross fans all over! :)
woah.. i still cant believe that this cover was released a year ago. yk i still remember when i first listened to this coverrr! it was 2 am and i got a fever which made me have a hard time sleeping , so i went on youtube to watch vids to entertain myself and i saw this videooo. i kept replaying it bc it sounded so relaxing and it helped me fall asleep. That all happened a year ago when this vid was releasedd i dont know anything about macross so this song was new to me,, so thank uu :D
What is this feeling? It seems something from so far away… lost in time so many years ago… but now it’s coming back to me. Is this… protoculture?
The Macross series has so many straight-up bangers that every now and then I forget that the slower songs are a different category of special and sweet.
It's some thing macross is still going today as a series. To bad the license issue it has today keep it's out of the u.s officially.

If they do an official English dub for DYRL since it’s probably going to finally get to come to the states they should use this version of the song. I don’t think anyone else could do it better.
This is the first time I hearing this song in English and it's beautiful. It literally had me in tears.
Dear Caitlin...AWESOME JOB !!!...it brings back so many memories. finally an english version. Wen couples argue, i play this song. A Healing Tool. Thank u n Blessing too.
I don't know how many times I've listened to this version since I discovered it yesterday.. This version fills me with endless nostalgia! 😭
Holy crap, I found the original JPN version a few years ago and lost it in the depths of UA-cam. I found it again recently and I was like "Dang, wish there was an English version of this." You absolutely crushed it singing this. Every part of this is on point with the original, somehow. I really need to watch Macross lmao.
I love the lyrics translation and interpretation!!! Awsome job!!!!
🔥🔥🔥
never thought id see you here dude glad youre enjoying her songs too
Oh hai, Vail!
様々な人がこの曲をカバーしましたが、あなたが一番です。
とてもよい。
こうなると「天使の絵の具」も聴きたくなりますね (^_^
This is a very elegant adaptation. I do this for a living (but for Japanese into Spanish) so I can definitelly tell. From translation to timing and syllable adjustment. Very, very nicely done. Congrats to everyone involved!
the definitive english version, thank you for covering this song.
I stumbled across this a couple years ago in search of an english cover of this song, and it hits jussst right. it's still one of my faves
WAIT I LOVE THIS SONG OMG SHES GONNA DO THIS SONG AS WELL?!?! IM SO EXCITED!!!!
My childhood memories. Thank you so much for uploading this song in English version.
I never thought I would hear an English version of this song. It's so great!
To have watched this anime Macross through the whole entire series many times reminds me of long long ago, and yet just yesterday...I can only hope that others can and will find some of the music from then can relate to so many people today. Memories both good and bad wrapped together in joy and sadness of loss and looking to an uncertain future, that we all have to navigate on our own journey and uet together in our own ways....Thank You for a glimpse
I’m in love with my best friend. I’ve never been in a relationship, so every single line rings true for me. This is probably what I’ll use to tell her when I’m ready.
Your voice is so beautiful. Those high notes are absolutely graceful! I definitely should have found this sooner than I did.
Oh my goodness, thank you for this amazing English cover, especially in the current calendar year! I have been on a Macross binge for the last month or so (especially with the news of Harmony Gold loosening their stranglehold on the license), and it is bringing me so much joy to see this series has still endeared in the hearts of many.
Keep up the amazing work!
It's like listening to it for the first time all over again. Amazing work as always
Me again.
This time, this one hits home; I've been a Macross fan for years and there's a soft spot in my cold, dark heart for Minmay and her songs, especially D.Y.R.L.
You've made a grown man shed a tear lady.
Thanks.
I'm so excited! Soon, the entire series, both sides of the ocean, all in one place!
Never heard a English cover for Do You Remember Love before as a Macross fan.
THIS IS AMAZING!
1:42 to the vocalist, the post-production team, and whoever still listening this masterpiece
I love this so much! 😍 Macross is one of my favorite anime series' of all time. I never thought I'd hear such an amazing english cover of one of the songs. You captured the feel of the original so well, even when changing the language. I'm honestly really impressed.
This song is so warm it makes me feel warm
outstanding. so often I see english versions by fans that are too harsh to hear due to the wrong choice of words. The verbal flow usually isn't pleasing or too percussive in parts when it shouldnt be, or the sentences lack the elegance of good songwriting / matching the original language's feel; but you've done a wonderful job with this one. I looooove the original and this is a worthy english counterpart. Cheers!
Got here from the LeeAndLie version, and while I love that version as well, this struck me as more real and authentic. I really appreciate the care and love you put into this.
I've loved this song for over half my life now (I turn 32 this year), and while I've heard a number of English covers, I think this is the only that has ever impressed me. Great job!
good!
The last 2-3 years the world events were not so awesome. But with the support of great artists making and singing masterpieces like this. We can find the power to deal with everything that is going on.
covid-19已經有藥方醫療，目前需要做的事情是穿越悲傷時期。
This is the most underrated channel, the music you make is like an undiscovered diamond to others.
this is god-tier prolly the best english rendition out their by far
Never knew there was an English version!
Fun (?) Trivia (?): The song “Do You Remember Love” is actually canonically written in English. It is sung in Japanese because... its and anime but who knows? Maybe Minmei is just a master in on-the-fly song translation.
Heck, the most widespread language in the Macross is probably English. Everyone “speaks” Japanese since its an Anime.
yea
Actually it was ancient alien language song and Misa translated it into english, then Minmay sang it in Japanese lol
In this animated story, the boss of the Zentraedi army, Bodlzer, had only music plates and no lyrics. Meanwhile, among the ancient ruins left on earth, Misa picked up a plate, but did not know what was written on it. However, after hearing the aforementioned music, Misa realized. What was written on the plate was a lyric. Misa then analyzed the plate and translated it into Japanese. At this time, a lyric was created in which one Japanese letter was assigned to each one note.
In reality, the song was written in Japanese by Kazumi Yasui and composed by Kazuhiko Kato. The song was then translated into English.
這首歌曲在1980年被寫出來，一開始是中文版，但是中文版唱起來不好聽，當時原唱才10歲，要求翻譯成日文，就是日文版的還記得愛嗎。這一版是原唱在1990年，自己翻譯成英文版和演唱的錄音版，當年原唱是20歲的專科學生。
在聽說原唱第二次翻譯使用時間40分鐘，在1990年，以及使用幾分鐘演唱。
wow.....i mean....wow.....You captured the essence of Mari Ijima so well as well as the spirit of this song. I heard 3 verisons and now I've heard yours. Miss...its Legendary. I hope you get to be a Macross Idol if another series rolls around. You LITERALLY are the BEST english Minmei singer ever. your voice is powerful yet soft,a perfect blend. you're awesome. these words can't describe adequately how your performance makes me feel. I'll say this though PROTOCULTURE!!!!
4:43. This small echo....I felt that. That's original and classy.
I didn’t hear it!
@MATAX5 Around 4:45 is actually the right time, but it's like right on it. I listened to this track many times to make mention.
That was beautiful! I almost cried...
Can't wait for nostolgia to kick in...thank you for the culture.
Yup it's an absolute BANGER
This is a love song from 500,000 years ago, it is still beautiful after so many years.
Exellent!!
Your voice has given us sweet tone in the all of listeneies!
Thank you for your sweet melody and beautiful voice!
I'm saving this song for someone special. I only hope she accepts my love for her. But then again, Minmay did sing this with a broken heart.
If she does, cherish it.
If she doesn't, don't be discouraged.
Love is worth it.
I went on a nostalgia run with old anime, getting along with my age. This whole scene, action, characters and music holds such a place in my heart, so naturally hearing this fantastic English cover, you've captured the tone, the rhythm and mood of the Japanese version.
"I'll never be all alone" hits so hard, maybe it's not so hard to believe one can fall in love again? Thank you for making this cover.
OUTSTANDING! Your performance brings back fond memories of my first encounter with DYRL in the form of the Clash of the Bionoids dub on VHS.
My wife and I danced to the platina jazz cover of this song on our wedding day 3 years ago. This cover makes me wish I could go back in time with a flash drive and play your version instead 😩
Thank you for posting the video. I am a big fan of Macross/Robotech as so many are, and appreciate hearing the English version of the song. Thank you again!!!!!!
Hopefully this song will be remembered many many years later. Thank you for this english ver
Such a great song, and you do so much justice to it. Visual wise I love the VHS type effect. :D
Also, as a side note... you have my vote for VA of any Macross re-releases.
Dude, voicing Minmay in English would be a dream tbh
Hoping for harmony gold to eventually release it from their clutches
@@caitlinmyers I think the original artist, Mari Iijima, is in the US & can now actually sing it in ENGLISH! All we need to do is see if she'll use your lyrics or come up with her own or use someone else's. Still, it would be GREAT to have you two duet this song! Just speculating! Well? How about it, Caitlin? You up for it?
@@fredhercmaricaubang1883 if Mari Iijima sang my lyrics id actually die happy.
@@desk-kun Theres an agreement already that allows releases of the recent IPs of Macross globally, though it seems that DYRL? wont be included in that
Caitlin you just made this 43 year old SDF Macross fan's eyes water and gave the lump in my throat Ijima Mari has since 1990 when I first saw MACROSS: DYRL. After hearing your covers of Plastic Love and Stay By Me I said to a friend... it be something is she did a cover for D.Y.R.L. and whattaya' know.
You nailed it! Now I know the song in English. It brought back my younger days when anime in the states was a chore to get or extremely expensive for 1 episode per tape. THANK YOU! And dammit if I ain't in love with your voice. Please keep doing covers of awesome songs.
You truly snapped on this!! The emotion in your voice amplifies the nostalgic feel of the song too, thank you for this cover
I absolutely love this song even though I've never heard the original. Never before has a song made me long to love and feel loved like the way you've beautifully delivered it with this outstanding performance. Thank you.
Absolutely beautiful and extraordinary!
Oh man, the "I'll never be all alone, you see" section gave me cold chills in this version too. Good job!
Can't listen to this without tearing up, Macross/Robotech was my first anime in the early 90s. Your voice brings me back there; thank you
This song awoke something within me. I can't remember the last time a song genuinely made me cry.
Beautiful voice, I love how it sounds in Japanese, but seeing that it also rhymes in English while sounding lovely was cool! I'm a long time Macross fan, having first watched Robotech as a child and then learning about it's origins 22 years ago. I know have a 400+ item collection of rare Macross resin/plastic kits, toys, magazines, movies and posters going back to 1982, most in pristine condition and a lot are extremely rare from Wonder Festivals.
Can't believe I just came across this... Best rendition of one of my favorite song!
Just Magnificent! Everyone involved did amazing work. Loved the 80's style of filter with tracking lines. Keep up the good work.
A great rendition! It was so good, my eyes started to water a bit from nostalgia from my first anime.
Wow, amazing English translation and keeping the rhythm so close to the Japanese version! Awesome work, thank you for doing this for Macross fans all over! :)
I saw this and my heart raced with joy! One of my all time favorites! Thank you Caitlyn!
Wow, glad I didn't cancel my patreon, you are on fire with uploads!
Thank you for your support!!! ToT 💙

Wow, she really said, “I’m about to do what’s called a Pro Gamer move.”
I just sobbed my eyes out. This was such a beautiful rendition. Amazing work!!!
