- ”The neon light is now my savior..."
Hello! This time I covered one of my fav songs!
If you are a fan of this song, you probably already know there's
an AMAZING English cover of it already by Caitlin Myers! Her
version is the one that I used to listen to all the time! I was thinking of using her lyrics when I realized her translations were a bit different in meaning from the original Japanese lyrics. So I just decided to make a new version of it more true to the japanese lyrics.
I'm still skeptical if I did an okay job at it, since I'm such a big fan of how Caitlin's sounds. Anyway. I am a rambling chatter-box today! Even while I was editing this video, the whole thing ended up being over the top haha.
Well, that's enough talk for today!
I hope you enjoy my cover!

![[English Cover] Stay With Me (真夜中のドア) Miki Matsubara 松原みき](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/LZVsATLj4Tw/mqdefault.jpg)
A sudden kiss in the twilight
A tight embrace until moonlight
I wont be taking any questions
Wont let you ruin this moment
Turning every sad goodbye
Into movie scenes inside my mind
None of this is going to last
So take your time
Dont hurry!
🎶 🎶
When you decided to leave me
My heart was thrown in the fire
I lived like there was no tomorrow
My life was shattered to pieces
I will dance the night away
The disco music
roaring in my ears
Its a simply therapy
A remedy
Im sorry.
💃🏻 💃🏻
If you think I dont know what we’re doing
Unaware of this game we’re playing
I dont care if you’re
Leaving or staying
Youre not the only one
Thats here to have some fun
silver dress fits me snug like my lover
Red heels take me away to another
Little friends that helped me through a journey
Watashi no koto wo kesshite
Honki de aisanaide
Koi nante tada no geemu
Tanoshimeba sore de ii no
Tozashita kokoro wo kazaru
Hade na doresu mo kutsu mo
Kodoku na tomodachi
Im just playing games
I know thats plastic love!
Dance to the plastic beat
Another morning comes
Wholly crap you re-wrote the english lyrics better than the original. I dont think you'll ever see this but Roku you have made my favorite Japanese song into my favorite English song and its perfect! You truly have a gift and just wow wow WOW wow... Im in awe and thank you for making this its actual bliss.
The English lyrics you composed are the definitive translation as far as I'm concerned. I did stumble across another cover on UA-cam that featured an approximate translation to the Japanese lyrics that went untranslated. Here's my translated English lyrics that could be incorporated into the rest of the translated lyrics:
"I don't why or if there's a reason
Every guy that I've met ever since then
Asks me out, but they all
Look just like him
And I feel it bend,
My heart starts up again.
So even if my glass slips through my fingers
Liquid flowing slowly down to linger
I hope you never ask me why I'm crying."
I really like how you incorporate the Japanese lyrics in - it's so good
I agree. I'm curious if the reason why she incorporated the Japanese lyric in by replacing the part hinting the way she act like a woman of cold heart is a reflection of the unforgettable love to a past boyfriend. For Japanese, it deepen the sympathy to her purity and innocent efforts to forget about him by wearing icy mask. A kind of Enka concept.
I thought this writer dropped the part as it confuses non-Japanese listeners as it makes the character too passive and wet.
That part of the song is the most emotionally charged, whereby Mariya Takeuchi made herself very vulnerable by revealing the secret behind her nightlife pursuit
I think Ren sang that part in Japanese to preserve the raw emotions associated with the original verse. Translating that bit into English may filter out some (if not all) of the emotional expression
"it will cure you" Truth! I had a roommate addicted to heroin and while he was going through WDs, I put together weeks of Anime on a playlist for him to watch. He had never watched anime before, nor cared one bit for Japan. Now he's a huge otaku, learning Japanese in college. It's been several years and he hasn't relapsed. Oh, his favorites from those he watched during his WDs? he told me Clannad was his #1. Tied for 2nd was Death Note and Code Geass. Close third was Nodame Cantabile. He said he loved Evangelion too.
Japanese pop culture is really positively addictive. I love Death Notes too.
That's a beautiful story and your friend has outstanding taste in anime.💜
Clannad makes you so depressed that you forget about your addictions, what a goated anime.
He has great taste,
Glad he managed to recover!
Sorry wtf are you taking about
This is what the internet was made for. I'm so grateful to live in a time when I can hear masterful songs from another langauge sang in my language. By the way, you're one of the only women I've heard who sounds good at both low and high notes. Thank you so much!
I love the low/mature tone of your voice. Really fitting for City Pop, and very similar to singers of that era too. Subbed. Plz do more City Pop when you have time. I suggest September by Mariya Takeuchi.
this was randomly in recommended and wow.. this is amazing
Me too
I just found your channel. I'm actually going through a break up right now during Christmas & the holidays. Plastic love has been my comfort song, because it helps me to give the break up a place in my life. The English cover you made added even more value to it, it just feels & sounds right.
Thank you,
Merry Christmas & happy holidays.
From the Netherlands
