As usual, writing translyrics for Aqua Timez songs is beyond difficult. Hardest part in this song was definitely the second verse, but I'm really happy about how well it (and the rest of the song) turned out.
I think you do a good job lyrically with rather tough songs. If I could critique, I think the only thing that's holding you back is you're a bit too attached to the original metaphors. It's always nice to get something flowing from the original that sits well, but it can also overcomplicate the lyrics to the point that it's hard for the average viewer not pouring over them to understand the message, if that makes sense. ala... These lonely feelings are welling up inside me. In the night, a candle's light is burning brightly and differs so starkly from the sharply decorated chandelier above the party. This makes sense when reading over it, and the rhyme scheme is great! But there's a lot of words that don't flow very well in here imo, so it could use a bit of cleaning up. Sorry if this is distressing though, cause I don't have any intention of like, bashing your work. I only comment cause your lyrics are much closer to spot on than most others on youtube. The majority don't even try to run rhyming schemes like yours, and instead go the tired format of aa, bb, cc, dd. "In the night, a candle's light" is such a good line, and this lyric job is littered with fantastic transitions like that! Keep it up, you're doing very well.
Don't worry, KilkClax. I'm not offended or distressed. I'll take a well-thought out critique over an anger driven outburst any day. My speed rapping ability allows me to pronounce even some of the more difficult English words at a fairly quick pace and I'll admit that I did abuse this ability as I wrote the lyrics for this song. Velonica was a more blatant example, but Velonica was just a monster overall (lol). However, I couldn't bring myself to skip over or combine any syllables in Alones. I've especially learned not to mess with the syllable count when asking someone else to sing my lyrics because, unless I make a guide, the singer is forced to guess at the flow and he/she usually guesses wrong. As for my adherence to the original metaphors, the debate over whether one should simplify the metaphors and deviate from the translation or stay faithful to it regardless of the complicated lyrics/culturally specific metaphors is a bloody and violent war that will continue for all of eternity. LOL. I've simply chosen to stick to the translations as closely as possible when I write my lyrics. I do this partially because I enjoy the challenge (like getting to use the words "sharply" and "starkly") and because I want to preserve as much of the author's original message as possible. There were times where I took liberties with the translations or changed the meaning in some way or another (Great Escape, for example) and though it's not like I lose sleep over doing so, I just feel like it runs in on contrast to the act of translating the lyrics. However, that's just my view on the matter right now since I go back and forth on which approach to take every time I start working on a new song. ANYWAY, I could ramble on and on about this for hours, so before I do, I'll say thank you for watching and for your critique, KlikClak. I enjoyed reading what you had to say.
No problem! I enjoyed hearing your work, and I think it's a positive trend for lyric writing on youtube for english fancovers that you continue to make content. :3 I'll be sure to put my own money where my mouth is and start posting my own content to attempt to do much the same.
This is a good cover, I've been looking for this song in english for months and with this one there is finally a good quality one to listen to/download. Keep up the good work, you just gained a sub today.
What happens when Kon becomes Ichigo body and weilding Zangetsu. Wont it be the same coz I think would be useful if Kon was able to become a soul reaper when he enter Ichigo's body its like borrowing his power a bit helping him when Ichigo is hurt. I dont think Kon can use Zangetsu to shoot a Getsuga Tenshou but atleast he could borrow Zangetsu's power to help Ichigo would Zangetsu allow that?
To this day, it still cracks me up that the opening animation did Aqua Timez dirty like that in the first few seconds. XD I may have tried to mimic his tone a bit in this cover for that reason. lol
This was so great work, since. Perfect timing and lyrics. BTW, I love this song since first listened to. Just curiuos that the song sound so nice. So I searched for the english version and thanks for this.
This brings back memories~ As much as I want to talk a lot, I've got all these responsibilities in real life that keep me feeling like I should focus on that instead of clicking through all my discord servers and skype groups trying to socialize...
One of my favorite Bleach openings. Thanks for the full english cover XD
You're welcome. I'm glad you enjoyed it.
