English: I'm a metal head Japanese: It is apparent that I do indeed possess a cranium made primarily of metal, which is a type of element on the periodic table.
For the Japanese dub of this show, they for some reason decided to hire some of the highest billing VAs in Anime to do the voices. Donkey Kong is voiced by Koichi Yamadera who is mostly known for a lot but mainly Spike from Cowboy Bebop and Diddy Kong is voiced by Megumi Hayashibara who is also known for a lot but mainly Rei from Neon Genesis and Faye from Cowboy Bebop. So if you want to view it this way, this is Faye Valentine and Spike Spiegal singing about Spike switching brains with a robot. What a world we live in.
@@aigeneratedwauigi2696 It doesn't work that way, in English for a lot of describing words you can just put two words together as they are but in Japanese you can't.
@@MadContendery It doesn't work like that, saying metalhead in katakana means nothing people would just assume its the name of a film or game, they would have no context as to what it means Katakana used in Japanese don't necessarily translate the same back to a foreign language: like how the word mansion マンション means apartment or ズボン zubon means trousers/pants
English: Does this mean I'm in need of a tune up and a change of oil? ...I'm a Metal Head, I'm a metal head, etc Japanese: Karada no achikochi abura sasanakya... boku wa roboto, abura sasanakya, boku wa roboto, abura sasanakya, etc (I need to oil up here and there on my body... I'm a robot, I need to oil up, I'm a robot, I need to oil up, etc) For the record in the Japanese version Donkey Kong accepts that he is a robot much more easily than in the English version.
Japanese is very much a language that is Anachronistic though... It has worse adapting than English when it comes to modern equipment. Shouldn't it be Roboto no Boku or Robot-uchi no Boku? Due to subject / object is of him being a robot. As Japanese is SOV while English is SVO? This is just an observation from someone who is learning this painful language.
@@MaoRatto Sorry for the delayed response, but "RO-BOTO no Boku" doesn't make sense. You need the Boku first to indicate what's being talked about (in this case, me/boku).
The fucked up part is that Diddy's voiced by Megumi Hayashibara one of the most famous Japanese Voice actors probably next to Ikue Ohtani the voice of Pikachu, Hayashibara is also an actual singer who's actually good unlike Andrew Sebastian. And somehow she's still terrible!
Diddy is slightly more tolerable in this one, probably since his VA here, Megumi Hayashibara, can actually sing. But it still isn't great. Kouichi Yamadera, while he may be no Sterling Jarvis, still does a great job - even when in character.
@114739226698731527514 it said where they where sold. although in this day & age you could get them online. actually i bought a diddy kong & funky kong at a garage sale & i don't know if they're from the cartoon
Cus Diddy japanese VA is the same as Rei from Neon Genesis Evangelion, Diddy Kong literally has an anime waifu voice for this song, between hearing a girl singing as a kid and a man whos trying to sound like a kid, the girl sounds so much better and natural Diddy Kong japanese voice actress >>>> Diddy Kong original USA voice actor
Well at least Diddy's voice isn't as bad as it is in the American version. However Donkey Kong's voice is not nearly as good as it is in the American version.
the voice of diddy is also the voice of Rei Ayanami from evangelion
+roxas cruz This explains Diddy's insanity.
Insane Diddy is now canon.

blazingsonic Oh man, I hadn't even considered that. XD
But if Diddy sounds like a girl, then would Diddy-turned Dixie sound like a boy?

He has a wonderful singing voice

That's probably what Spike and Faye saw when they got high on shrooms!
Diddy's singing voice was actually pretty okay in Japanese.

its funny the japanese version says "I'm a robot I need to oil myself" cause theres no word like metalhead that would fit lol

Kolbatsu Well, I think she's trying to copy the awful singing voice of Diddy.
She’s just paying tribute to the amazing man who voiced him in America.
Kolbatsu no that’s the perfect part

This is a really good Anime.
Koichi Yamadera is DK's voice actor and I can understand why he's his voice, he has one of the best singing voices in Japanese.
Why is it that no matter the version, Diddy has an awful singing voice?
Bottom of the barrel voice direction.
his latin american VA is actually pretty good at this
At least with the English version Diddy's _regular_ voice didn't want to make you rip your ears off.
Also he actually does sing better (probably due to his VA) but it doesn't help much.
Like the fact it plagiarized Daft Punk's Around the World for the instrumental audio track?
Oh darn.
DIDDY SOUNDS ACTUALLY CUTE!
Hey the around the world rip off fragment is more complicated in japanese lol
Nowy kanał Xkowa this came before that song tho
AngelEmfrbl No, look at your facts. Around the World came out before.

Haha i like her too. She's voiced a lot of anime characters that i like.

I think I have found an anime greater than Cory in the House...
Also Diddys voice is so cute!
Well at least Diddy's voice isn't as bad as it is in the American version. However Donkey Kong's voice is not nearly as good as it is in the American version.
Diddy actually sounds better than Donkey Kong in my opinion.
What the fuck happened?
bro saameee 😭😭
Why the hell is diddy more tolerable and even adorable in Japanese?
I like his English singing voice more, but the Japanese singing voice is more fitting.
I think Japanese Diddy sounds just like a regular Japanese kid. Or maybe the voice is just a bit high-pitched.
