I've played both Mega Man 1 and 2 on the NES. I like them a lot. I can't speak for the Japanese person/people who wrote the original song, but I'm guessing they played them, too.
Don't know if you ever check back here, but I been listening to this song and the airman song since you released them. Still two of my favorite songs on youtube. Thanks for the hard work, I have enjoyed it a hell of a lot.
Just discovered this after knowing about "Can't defeat Airman" for years. Thank you for translating and covering this song too, hope you're doing well even years after these videos
I have to say your two Meg man songs are without questions the best rage songs I have ever heard. You are a great singer and I have started the mega man series and sympathesize easily, again good job!
Ooh, excellent work with the meter/rhyme on the Elecman segment translation. I'm noticing a pattern in these MM Nekokan songs, "I can't beat this part, I'll try something else, crap that's too hard too, aaaaaugh", and it really captures the core of the Megaman gameplay experience. At some point when I get off my ass and start putting up song covers of my own, I'd really like to use these lyrics (perhaps slightly varied), that cool with you?
Sorry for taking so long to reply. Yes, that's fine, if you're still interested in using the lyrics, just please give me credit for them. Thanks for asking. :)
Megaman powered up made yellow devil even worse I listend to this while trying to beat him so thanks for the unintentional help with taking down one of the most deadly devil monster incarnations
Wish we could say the same for the fucking Shadow Devil from X5, sure it and Quick Man's stage are a neat throwback and all, but that thing is true hell incarnate
My friend you're a pretty good singer from even back when you were 24 years old and i have all of the megaman games 1-8 i completed them except for 7 and 8
The translation isn't perfect, but is still good. You have a nice voice. Pretty good dub and I'm sure we won't get any better dubs since most people who know of the original artist are too busy uploading variations of "I can't defeat Airman".
*checks clock* Okay, that's proof this is a good video. I've been clicking the replay button for this video for over three hours. Oh well, guess I will never sleep, too!!!
Fun fact: Arceus is singing this, but instead of playing MegaMan 1, he's fighting alphamon, Jupitermon and lucemon FM, and loses every single freaking time, not to mention that he never reached their final form
Awesome... even more awesome than the airman trans probably. Getting the meaning and music to match so perfectly! Personally though: 「あきらめてたまるか！！」 "There's no FUCKING WAY I'm giving up!!!!" is how I'd trans it :P
I felt like your singing was kind of off of something but I think I am just used to the man voice for the high parts and yells so it's not your fault you're a girl. You are so good at making the English lyrics though! Keep it up I love you you're the greatest!
I loved the game too much to be frustrated. XD You're probably ahead of that part now but if you aren't, he always has the same pattern when he moves. I'm pretty sure the third jump is bigger than the first two. He's my favorite boss. c:
When i played MegaMan 1 i was said this "CANT BE DONE CANT BE DONE" Later in MegaMan powered up i had up in ALL of the bosse in my levels in full heath and i said this"No i searw to god i wil NEVER GAVE UP
no, it is OFFICIALLY stated, that the first Mega Man game was made easier than its Japanese counterpart, if you think that it's not easier, then maybe you're just very good at the game, so much so that you can't tell that the difficulty is different
(Dr. Wily version) I remember, when that game was new It was the first, as I recall It was a cartridge of light blue You chose a level, but you couldn’t get far at all Cause every time when you tried just to ride on those platforms, You’d always fall! Game over! Game over! You don’t have the skill to clear this part! Game over! Game over! More than you can handle! So then, is there any hope? Is there any hope? Should you just give up now? It’s so difficult, you really should give up. Good night! I remember, you hadn’t even tried another stage You just kept playing on the same one, though you died You chose another, and you hoped you get past this part But even though you could see where to go, You got stuck at the steps at the start Game over! Game over! This is far beyond what you can do! Game over! Game over! All your effort ends in defeat! So then, is there still no hope? Is there still no hope? Should you just give up now? It’s so difficult, but you still won’t give up! Come on! It was hard, but somehow you took out everyone So I decided it was time to come and ruin all your fun With all that you had fought and suffered, and everything you’ve learned, You thought that your skills had advanced But then you saw the Yellow Devil’s evil eye, You didn’t stand a chance HA-HA-HA-HA!!! Game over! Game over! You don’t have the skill to clear this part! Game over! Game over! More than you can handle! So then, is there any hope? Is there any hope? Should you just give up now? No, you say you won’t give up! Don’t you see? Don’t you see? This is as far as you will go! It’s too much! You can’t win! You will never clear this! Though you die forevermore, die forevermore, You wont let it beat you You will play till victory is yours! Is there any hope? (x5) There’s no hope! You should get some sleep! (x2) Since you’ll never clear this level, you should get some sleep!
Le me, when I am trying to write an OpenGL ES rendering back end for my own game. And yes, I forwent sleep until I figured out exactly what I did wrong that yielded a big black rectangle of nothing instead of even the most rudimentary scene.
Unless I'm misunderstanding something, I believe this already is a singalong video. The lyrics are all on the screen, and they're in the description, too, so you can sing along.
that was me! when i was 8 years old!! I can't passed guts man's stage because of those platforms and i can't pass elec man's stage because of that annoying little robbots and that yellow devil.. i can't beat that too.. and the dissapearing blocks of iceman's stage... but today.. it was just a piece of cake XD
Yeah I tried so many times then i forgot the pause button is L1 (on ps4) and I kept hitting the weapon screen and it did not work then I was an idiot and figured it out
and MY point is that they DID make the American release easier than the Japanese release, i just didn't know that there wasn't a difficulty setting so i phrased it as i did, after all i DID say that i never played the first game, so again, the American release was changed to be easier than the original Japanese release, i simply didn't phrase it right as i didn't know that there wasn't a difficulty setting
i don't remember where this source came from, sorry, my only explanation for that is that the ROM was made easier (no idea why though) or you just being very good, i honestly have no idea as to why it seems that way, nor do i have any source to prove my claim, only that i heard this, and my word, i apologize if that's not good enough
...I think I have Mega Man 5 on my 3DS that I got from the eShop Tomahawk Man took me 3 hours... with rapid-saving. But then, Knight Man took me only a few minutes, and Centaur Man took a few seconds. I guess it gets easier when you have a power equipted from a previous level. XD
Tico The Nicaea Navigator Well, it was megaman powered up, and there weren't the items 1 or 2 or 3. Probably should have been more specific than 'PSP Version'. If there were the items, I wouldn't have counted them.
I know your pain of powerd up never forget yellow devil because of the screen crunch It made the boss twice as hard as the NES couterpart because of how packed everything is you get less time to react and the higher the difficulty the faster he goes meaning if you don't have lighting fast reflexes or you have memorized witch won't work on hard mode because he is back to his random unpredictable pattern from the NES your not going to have a good time
a strange place this internet ive been studying it for years and still barely understand anythimg of the natives culture. theyre most ruthless hunting ground is known as 4chan
*"CAN'T! BE! DONE! CAN'T BE DONE!"*
These lyrics are unforgettable.
I've played both Mega Man 1 and 2 on the NES. I like them a lot. I can't speak for the Japanese person/people who wrote the original song, but I'm guessing they played them, too.
Don't know about MEGAMAN 11, or 3, 4, 5, even 8! Oh, and did I not mention 6, and 7?
Don't know if you ever check back here, but I been listening to this song and the airman song since you released them. Still two of my favorite songs on youtube. Thanks for the hard work, I have enjoyed it a hell of a lot.

After 12 years too
Fuck, hard to believe it's been almost 14 years
And someone said that Air Man is difficult?
Pfft. Air Man is fucking *Whispy Woods* compared to anything in Mega Man 1 (except Cut Man, Bomb Man and arguably Guts Man).
@angell Prove?
Just discovered this after knowing about "Can't defeat Airman" for years. Thank you for translating and covering this song too, hope you're doing well even years after these videos
when i completed megaman 1 i said "F*CK YOU GAME! I WILL NEVER BE PLAYING YOU AGAIN!!" awesome game tho
how'd that work out for you? i said the same thing and i have beat the game 20 times since.

Legend has it, that he is still trying to defeat yellow devil to this day
To beat the "Yellow Thing With One Eye" use the electric weapon and pause the game while its hitting it. That drains it's life so fast.
You cheating bastard
Coward.
Wish we could say the same for the fucking Shadow Devil from X5, sure it and Quick Man's stage are a neat throwback and all, but that thing is true hell incarnate
1:56 good job mega man
Love this song, thanks for the translation and singing! I always find myself singing these lyrics when I listen to the other version.
A song about not giving up against impossible odds.
2:34 is the truth for me with the yellow devil
Gameboy Gamer :3 did you know about the sacred technique.......the pause glitch
Oh, wow, how come I didn't see this til now!?!?! Awesome =D
Literally everyone's first time on yellow devil when the game first came out.
You have a nice singing voice and you sung the song fairly well. Congrats!

This could have easily been lame... but it was awesome. Well done!! It could kind of be an anthem for life...

It was...beautiful...i had some tears, its SOOO how we started megaman games!!!! :D
i wonder how kiwikenobi is doing now
I'm fine, thank you. :)
Here's a tip: Use Elec Man's element. Takes the yellow devil out in a few hits

Conveys a different meaning than the original version
The "platforms that shoot" from Ice Man's stage are called Foot Holder.
Thx for sharing 😊👍🏻
This is me with Metroid NES.
hi kiwi. you did a great job! Subbed.
Am I the only one who thinks this song would fit the musical style of the Offspring?
who remembers that one mettuar on crash man's stage that was there to screw you over if you weren't skilled enough?
Loved it, good job
I felt like your singing was kind of off of something but I think I am just used to the man voice for the high parts and yells so it's not your fault you're a girl. You are so good at making the English lyrics though! Keep it up I love you you're the greatest!
Did this guy ever learn about the pause glitch
2:58 is in my opinion the best part
This was basically my first playthrough of Mega Man 1
oh hohoho. wait for megaman 2 quick man stage... good luck. your gonna need it!
nice =d you have a good singing voice
honestly every day i put the video and sing along
DAMN BRO YOU JUST GOT SERVED
You need more subscribers.
I loved the game too much to be frustrated. XD You're probably ahead of that part now but if you aren't, he always has the same pattern when he moves. I'm pretty sure the third jump is bigger than the first two.

Freakin epic. i am a big megaman fan
This one is really cool too!
(Dr. Wily version)
I remember, when that game was new
It was the first, as I recall
It was a cartridge of light blue
You chose a level, but you couldn’t get far at all
Cause every time when you tried just to ride on those platforms,
You’d always fall!
Game over! Game over!
You don’t have the skill to clear this part!
Game over! Game over!
More than you can handle!
So then, is there any hope? Is there any hope?
Should you just give up now?
It’s so difficult, you really should give up.
Good night!
I remember, you hadn’t even tried another stage
You just kept playing on the same one, though you died
You chose another, and you hoped you get past this part
But even though you could see where to go,
You got stuck at the steps at the start
Game over! Game over!
This is far beyond what you can do!
Game over! Game over!
All your effort ends in defeat!
So then, is there still no hope? Is there still no hope?
Should you just give up now?
It’s so difficult, but you still won’t give up!
Come on!
It was hard, but somehow you took out everyone
So I decided it was time to come and ruin all your fun
With all that you had fought and suffered, and everything you’ve learned,
You thought that your skills had advanced
But then you saw the Yellow Devil’s evil eye,
You didn’t stand a chance
HA-HA-HA-HA!!!
Game over! Game over!
You don’t have the skill to clear this part!
Game over! Game over!
More than you can handle!
So then, is there any hope? Is there any hope?
Should you just give up now?
No, you say you won’t give up!
Don’t you see? Don’t you see?
This is as far as you will go!
It’s too much! You can’t win!
You will never clear this!
Though you die forevermore, die forevermore,
You wont let it beat you
You will play till victory is yours!
Is there any hope? (x5)
There’s no hope!
You should get some sleep! (x2)
Since you’ll never clear this level, you should get some sleep!
1:28 all you need is the Cutter, it kills Gabyoalls
Le me, when I am trying to write an OpenGL ES rendering back end for my own game.
And yes, I forwent sleep until I figured out exactly what I did wrong that yielded a big black rectangle of nothing instead of even the most rudimentary scene.
2:36 you have to avoid first volley, then Thunder Beam-Pause trick him to death!
Unless I'm misunderstanding something, I believe this already is a singalong video. The lyrics are all on the screen, and they're in the description, too, so you can sing along.
this song could be the soundtrack of the "Continue?" screen
Awesome. The scream could use more passion since in the original it's the scream of an utterly broken man, but everything else is gold.
I'm going to be singing this to myself when I play Mighty No. 9
that was me! when i was 8 years old!!
I can't passed guts man's stage because of those platforms
and i can't pass elec man's stage because of that annoying little robbots
and that yellow devil.. i can't beat that too..
and the dissapearing blocks of iceman's stage...
but today.. it was just a piece of cake XD
This is how I feel when playing the Ys series on Nightmare mode.
Many people use the pause trick to take out Yellow Devil.
It's not really a trick. It's more like a glitch.
+John Thomas As far as I know, a glitch people use to their advantage can be considered a trick.
on Y.D. ONLY? I used it on every boss but bomb man
Yeah I tried so many times then i forgot the pause button is L1 (on ps4) and I kept hitting the weapon screen and it did not work then I was an idiot and figured it out
Same here, Dragonborne. Once you have his pattern memorized (2-3-1-4-3-2-4-5-1-2-3-5-4-2-4-3-5-1-3), it's not nearly as hard.
Gutsman stage was the first time I swore
Me and cuphead
I played on the same level in 1,2,3,4,5 and 6 then i was like"I WILL NOT GIVE UP!!!!!"and then"ok i gave up 😔"
The final battle against the enragement child (that was reconned by the After story)
Good job sing!
For a fan dub it was good. At least you can sing without going out of key. Not saying my voice is any better. :P But my ear for pitch is very helpful.
2:31 YELLOW DEVIL
you know that thing at the very end that looks a bit like a ninja star. I collected it in the game and have no idea what it is for.
It refills all your weapons and health I guess it's the devs way of saying "Good luck you will need it."

You can buy the original version of the song on the iTunes music store for 99 cents. Just search for "Team Nekokan" or "Kuria made wa Nemuranai."

...I think I have Mega Man 5 on my 3DS that I got from the eShop
Tomahawk Man took me 3 hours... with rapid-saving.
But then, Knight Man took me only a few minutes, and Centaur Man took a few seconds.
I guess it gets easier when you have a power equipted from a previous level. XD
Should've chose plant man.
Yoshikins Shard Megaman 6, not 5.
Did you try the pause abuse technique? If you do it fast enough, you can use the Thunder Beam to shave up to 12 HP off of Yellow Devil.
Megaman 1 is the only classic megaman game iv'e ever completed...
Ironically, it's the hardest NES Mega Man game.
Me with BotW
i remember i found my uncles nintendo in the attic i threw the controller at the window about 20 times before i beat gutsman stage
I felt a similar way when I played this myself
2:39
It's very very good. My only gripe is that the vocals are a bit too loud in comparison to the rest of the song.
I beat Megaman 2 (PSP Version) With JUST the mega buster. It was hell.
+Joshua Milker Bullshit. You need the items 1 2 and 3 to get through Wily castle. Unless you don't count those.
Tico The Nicaea Navigator Well, it was megaman powered up, and there weren't the items 1 or 2 or 3. Probably should have been more specific than 'PSP Version'. If there were the items, I wouldn't have counted them.

I know your pain of powerd up never forget yellow devil because of the screen crunch It made the boss twice as hard as the NES couterpart because of how packed everything is you get less time to react and the higher the difficulty the faster he goes meaning if you don't have lighting fast reflexes or you have memorized witch won't work on hard mode because he is back to his random unpredictable pattern from the NES your not going to have a good time
