No, it's not, For one, the lyrics I remember are never said. And I listened to the other version just to be sure. Secondly, and most important, it's not even the same singer. This means it's a different song, but with the same name.
Dude, it's the same fucking song, they adapted the lyrics the meaning it's the same, when sbakasu says "kaeru-chan mo usagi-chan mo" it's referring to plushies which in this versions translates into teddy bear, Judy and Mary did the original song, this is a cover/adaptation but it's the same song.
jfunk1994 If you look up the translation of both songs, they match up. Sobakusu literally means Freckles, chief. Hate to spoil it to you, but Konami does a LOT of covers of anime songs. I suppose you're going to tell me that CAT'S EYE from DDR is totally different from the original anime version too.
100%. My go-to first song in double heavy, almost certainly the catchiest cut in DDR imo. This one would spend weeks at a time in my head and it's probably about to again.
I wonder how many people realize that this song is an americanized version of sobakasu, which was made popular in japan being the first intro to Rurouni kenshin
There was a girl in middle school who had freckles and i played this for her and she hated me, but you know what? Ill always think of her when i listen to it. She was pretty
I saw during kenshin on Netflix for the first time yesterday. first time I watch the video I notice I'm singing along to the opening song but i never saw the show in my life. that's when I realize it. so trippy cool
"Still your memory's clear" .... XD I only heard this on DDR, and I thought it said "Steal your Ferris wheel," and yes, I realize that makes no sense. I thought listening to the whole song would make it make sense!
Freckles (KCP re-edit) Lyrics What am I, what I am, what what what (uh!) What am I gonna do, if I can't get through Counting all these freckles in my life It's just a waste of my time And there's no finishing line How am I gonna do, if I can not get you To listen to the dreams we could fulfill Can't get them out of my bed I want to knock them down the stairs I check the stars, but there's no sign Venus to Mars there is no line, baby I could be happy If you still loved me Still your memory's clear Always here deep inside my heart (Deep inside my heart) I want you back to come and feed my appetite Another lonely night It's our life, why aren't you around (Why aren't you around) I'm all alone, thinking Here my eyes fill with fear It's my life, why are you not here While I count away The number of freckles on my face Holding my teddy bear The pain will go away As it smiles of me Your memories are keeping up my pain Can't get them out of here Your tears I can not see It's my life, why are you not here? Still your memory's clear Always here deep inside my heart (Deep inside my heart) I want you back to come and feed my appetite Another lonely night It's our life, why aren't you around (Why aren't you around) I'm all alone, thinking Here my eyes fill with fear It's my life, why are you not here
I listened to the Megamix of DDRMAX so much that summer of 2002 and was incredibly excited to play the that mix when my arcade finally went from 5th to 6th mix. Awesome memories.
Actually Sobakasu is a Japanesed version of freckles by Sandy Fox, Mary (japanese singer) liked the song so much she did her own version, which has varied lyrics depending on the translator.
Now you've got me thinking this, while he uses his god speed to hit all the pressure plates! the back ground goes all inverted and his eyes are yellow and he's just doing ddr all epic, lols!
The fact that I wrote this comment when I was 13 and now I’m 23 makes me so sad. I was still living through my childhood back when I wrote it. I miss the DDR days when my only stress was having to restart a dance because I was doing too bad. 😂😢
used to play this song all the time on ddr extreme at tilt studio Voorhees NJ. I just found out today that arcade has permanently closed down. while the machine wasn't in very good condition, i highly cherish the memories I made and people I've met because of that arcade. if it weren't for ddr, I wouldn't be into the music I like today and I would have never started trying to make my own music, and for that I am extremely thankful for the time I spent playing the game. thank you DDR.

I do once in awhile yet. Back in 2003 i was obsessed. Obsessed!! It was a magical time in my life. Great memories were made. After supernova, things seem to die out but ddr will always live on in our feet. Hehe
I can't tell if whoever made this didn't know what the lyrics to the song mean or just wanted to make one of the most emotionally contrasting pop songs of all time.
LMAO no its not called Sobakasu Freckles. That would be redundant since sobakasu means "freckles" In the DDR songwheel, the song is just named "そばかす". The background graphic adds the words "FRECKLES", which is actually the real name of this cover version by Danish singer Tiggy. TL;DR "Freckles (KCP Re-edit)" is the correct name of THIS version.
0:22 - 0:26 is what I like to hear in heavy beat dance songs/remixes......we need someone to make another remix of this song sprinkling in this voice effect into the entire remix! :'D 💕💕💕
my friend who worked at an arcade i went to had a DDR Machine and he put up a sign one day that said "NO ONE IS ALLOWED TO PLAY FRECKLES machine will be turned off. I thought i was a joke, not even a 30 seconds in and the machine is turned off
OTAKU _from_JPN It's a little confusing, but yes, it is. This is a remix of Tiggy's cover, of Sandy Fox's English version from the dub, of Judy and Mary's original Japanese song, which was used as the first Opening for Kenshin. Pretty crazy, huh?
@OMGItzDeeZee There was already an americanized version of Sobakasu Freckles when Toonami use to show Rurouni Kenshin. Lyrics are different too. Both songs are great though. :D
@ModokiMokonaTRC you do know that when you sing your accent dissappears =.= accents have no hold on you when you sing no matter if it is a hard or soft accent they hold no toll on you unless its in another language :P
@ModokiMokonaTRC the only time their accents are still there when they sing is if they dont know how to sing correctly, or pronounce the words correctly... or if their accent is just so hard that no matter how hard they try they cant get rid of it... but i can emulate a british accent when im singing, a french accent, or even a german accent
The happiest song I've heard in a blood-driven samurai story.
Pretty sure this isn't the same song you're are thinking of. They share the same name, but that's it.
jfunk1994
It's the same song, Sobakasu.

actually diz version is from Europe where English originally came from

TheOriginalNightHawk The feels are coming :C
TheOriginalNightHawk Aww
TheOriginalNightHawk Aww ☺️
Funny story lol she sounds like a square tho
Why are these DDR songs filled with nostalgic stories in the comments? I'm literally crying right now
OH SHIT THIS IS FROM THE FIRST OPENING OF RUROUNI KENSHIN!!
+TheMythof Feminism So, so special ^_^×
I saw during kenshin on Netflix for the first time yesterday. first time I watch the video I notice I'm singing along to the opening song but i never saw the show in my life. that's when I realize it. so trippy cool
Richard Rosenblatt Same! I watched it today and realized I'd heard this song before but couldn't place it. Suddenly it hit me: DDR!
"Still your memory's clear" .... XD I only heard this on DDR, and I thought it said "Steal your Ferris wheel," and yes, I realize that makes no sense. I thought listening to the whole song would make it make sense!
good song. brings back great memories of 2005 when i played ddr every weekend
Freckles (KCP re-edit) Lyrics
What am I, what I am, what what what (uh!)
What am I gonna do, if I can't get through
Counting all these freckles in my life
It's just a waste of my time
And there's no finishing line
How am I gonna do, if I can not get you
To listen to the dreams we could fulfill
Can't get them out of my bed
I want to knock them down the stairs
I check the stars, but there's no sign
Venus to Mars there is no line, baby
I could be happy
If you still loved me
Still your memory's clear
Always here deep inside my heart
(Deep inside my heart)
I want you back to come and feed my appetite
Another lonely night
It's our life, why aren't you around
(Why aren't you around)
I'm all alone, thinking
Here my eyes fill with fear
It's my life, why are you not here
While I count away
The number of freckles on my face
Holding my teddy bear
The pain will go away
As it smiles of me
Your memories are keeping up my pain
Can't get them out of here
Your tears I can not see
It's my life, why are you not here?
Still your memory's clear
Always here deep inside my heart
(Deep inside my heart)
I want you back to come and feed my appetite
Another lonely night
It's our life, why aren't you around
(Why aren't you around)
I'm all alone, thinking
Here my eyes fill with fear
It's my life, why are you not here
Thx for the lyrics
I was obsessed with DDR when I was 8 years old.
Same except I was 7
am still obsessed at 27
I'm still obsessed with it now! And I'm damn near 60! XD
I played the game a lot when I was 17 to 22. I still wish I had those games. I tried Just Dance for the Nintendo Switch but it's just not the same.
Same and still at it at 23
she has 34 freckles
....
thanks
Too many on my body to count. ;3
thank you
The fact you counted 😂
I never noticed just how sad this song was.
ZOMGItsDAF yeah..
ZOMGItsDAF me too lost my bf 2 years Gk and I though this was going to be uplifting. Stupid awesome misleading beat
@@kumorirains just give it time homie
My first AA for extra stage.... ahhh those were the days of ddr max 2. Kids these days will never know freestyle.
+Andy M This is always my warm up song on ddr
+Andy M Then there was the Doubles Chart.
The Frie DCDB I would always do rainbow rainbow after this and then my final would be something random
I did a So In Love Freestyle in like 2004/05. I'm so glad that footage is lost lol
...
I wont understand...
Sad, the older generation had such great things and i dont get to understand those things
I TOTALLY forgot about this song! One of the BEST songs in all of DDR! Great steps on Heavy!
Ez way to get Extra Stage as well! This song and Honey Punch
One of my favorite songs to play. Except, I can’t find a version that still has this song on it 😢😢😢
alot of people did actually. The real question is how many people watched Rurouni Kenshin when this song was released to DDR... That shit was epic.
I listened to the Megamix of DDRMAX so much that summer of 2002 and was incredibly excited to play the that mix when my arcade finally went from 5th to 6th mix. Awesome memories.
this takes me back. out of all the songs, this was the one the girls danced most to. i know practically every word. lol
Actually Sobakasu is a Japanesed version of freckles by Sandy Fox, Mary (japanese singer) liked the song so much she did her own version, which has varied lyrics depending on the translator.
All I see is kenshin doing ddr
HOLY SHIT YES
Now you've got me thinking this, while he uses his god speed to hit all the pressure plates! the back ground goes all inverted and his eyes are yellow and he's just doing ddr all epic, lols!
It is sample, from it
@@GodVoid_ Its a cover, not a sample.
This song gives me so many childhood memoriessssssss.
The fact that I wrote this comment when I was 13 and now I’m 23 makes me so sad. I was still living through my childhood back when I wrote it. I miss the DDR days when my only stress was having to restart a dance because I was doing too bad. 😂😢
This song makes me cry tbh
I used to use this as my ending song, ridiculous fun on Heavy and easy to FC. I need to buy a DDR machine and relive my youth...

Im pretty sure it goes like this -> Sobakasu by Judy & Mary -> Sobakasu (English Version) by Sandy Fox -> Freckles by Tiggy
Ahh the memories of free styling back in the day.
"My name is Sanoske The Man-slayer, that I am...."
Probably my favorite song from supernova. This takes me back lol
my childhood omg
*listens to song*

[THE MAN SLAYER HAS RETURNED! (AND HE BROUGHT THE DOOM SLAYER WITH HIM!)]
I would always select this song when i played DDR. Now the arcade I grew up with has gone downhill and so has the DDR machine. RIP In The Groove 2
I had this song on my mp3 player
And also beaten it on DDR supernova back in high school
Why did this make me cry ?
Thanks it reminds me when i was playing heavy ddr 15 years ago lol
I still do now and then. Lol
I do once in awhile yet. Back in 2003 i was obsessed. Obsessed!! It was a magical time in my life. Great memories were made. After supernova, things seem to die out but ddr will always live on in our feet. Hehe
So many memories of AAA'ing this song to get a free 4th song -_-
completely forgot about this song..... havent heard it in ages.
I can't tell if whoever made this didn't know what the lyrics to the song mean or just wanted to make one of the most emotionally contrasting pop songs of all time.
The translation is questionable
LMAO no its not called Sobakasu Freckles. That would be redundant since sobakasu means "freckles" In the DDR songwheel, the song is just named "そばかす".

wwas great on samuri X as it was on DDR woot!
I used to do this song on Doubles. Was one of the funnest ones.
We're making it out the Meiji era with this one, boys! 🔥
memories
this is my favorite song lol
Also commented this 3 years ago😭 how come time went by so quickly
I haven’t heard this song in 20 years! Now I need to find a ddr machine.
when kenshin gives up the sword path and starts competitive ddr gaming
Like he has to overcome his PTSD from countless battles by going straight to the machine
Kensheeeeen!!!!!
I've been searching so long for a real full version, thanks!
The happiest song I’ve heard In a blood driven economy 2020 is so shit
I think the girl in the art is cute
Me too
I am here Because i watch kissing booth 2. Good old days. ❤️❤️❤️
Sobakasu was before Freckles, Sobakasu was the japanese opeaning for RuroKen, which released a year before we got it in the states
only song I ever AAA.. steps are still engrained in my memory. also, MAX300 !!! I love ddr.
Awesome! Thanks for the upload..
0:22 - 0:26 is what I like to hear in heavy beat dance songs/remixes......we need someone to make another remix of this song sprinkling in this voice effect into the entire remix! :'D 💕💕💕
Extraño este juego :(
I saw the 34 freckles comment and all I could think was "but a bitch aint one"
Freckles are hot :3
Rurouni kenshin - sobakasu x3
For a weird reason this gives to me BRATZ vibez!!! (In the early 2000s and mid 2000s bratz they released many songs with this style)
Story of my life ._.
@OMGItzDeeZee dude thank you lol... i knew i heard this song from somewhere... just didnt know where
Certain cuts of this song were used in DDR MAX 1 or Dance Dance Revolution, sixth mix.
Samurai X :3
my friend who worked at an arcade i went to had a DDR Machine and he put up a sign one day that said "NO ONE IS ALLOWED TO PLAY FRECKLES machine will be turned off. I thought i was a joke, not even a 30 seconds in and the machine is turned off
Hey, If I am right is this a remix of Ruroni kenshin Opening song??
OTAKU _from_JPN It's a little confusing, but yes, it is. This is a remix of Tiggy's cover, of Sandy Fox's English version from the dub, of Judy and Mary's original Japanese song, which was used as the first Opening for Kenshin. Pretty crazy, huh?
actually it's not based on the Sandy Fox version at all, the lyrics are completely different and the artist probably never heard it.
One of the best anime openings ever!
YES! Judy and Mary - Sobakasu
I love this song in DDR. Took me forever to pass it tho :P
I realized that the first time I heard it.
This song and Max 300. Oh ddr max 2 childhood days.
yei!!
thanks for this song
it´s my best AA score with only 9 greats
in DDR extreme
There is already a translated version. It's not a americanized, it was localized. :)
@wannytiggah Yeah I think you're right. I recall hearing another version that has a second verse.
this was the first song i was able to pass on Heavy
@OMGItzDeeZee I did! :3 It was my favorite anime to watch as a kid. I even convinced myself I would grow up, move to Japan, and Marry Kenshin. :D
@OMGItzDeeZee There was already an americanized version of Sobakasu Freckles when Toonami use to show Rurouni Kenshin. Lyrics are different too. Both songs are great though. :D
quit sayin' Americanized! English will always be a British language
awesome!
Me encanta (^-^)
damn these lyrics are sad
Rurouni Kenshin opening!
🙌🏽🙌🏽
@OMGItzDeeZee you know, Ruroni Kenshin did air in america, so it's not hard to make the connection.
I pwned this song on heavy. XD
DDR MAX
Samurai X
my name is sonichu
percussion may be 200%, but it's supposed to be a dance track. in fact this was used in dancedancerevolution.
the song was difficult on ddr, but I have manage to pass :D
Omg onzlig reference ?!
Wow, dude, the video got 253 likes and your comment got 154. Highest ratio I've ever seen. You win, sir!
Dedicated to Philly Phil LaMarr
makes me wanna do the robot.
"My name is Sonichu..."
SAMURAI X o_o
Necros D Blown Sobakasu? yeah, its similar.
Christian Andres Not only similar, it's an English cover.
+Necros D Blown Yep it's Kenshin!
I had a friend who did "A" AAA but never AAA this song lol
random, but awesome
@ModokiMokonaTRC you do know that when you sing your accent dissappears =.= accents have no hold on you when you sing no matter if it is a hard or soft accent they hold no toll on you unless its in another language :P
hell yeah! everyday when i go to the movie theaters.
btw, where did u get the song?!?!?!
@OMGItzDeeZee not many even still, it's sad.
@ModokiMokonaTRC the only time their accents are still there when they sing is if they dont know how to sing correctly, or pronounce the words correctly... or if their accent is just so hard that no matter how hard they try they cant get rid of it... but i can emulate a british accent when im singing, a french accent, or even a german accent
@OMGItzDeeZee
I didnt know too many people didnt know that
