Having grown up with the dutch version but as an anime fan now, this is wonderful to hear. As a kid i had no idea it was japanese animation, but it may have been one of my first experiences with it. Absolutely *love* this version of the opening song. Lot of a nostalgia too.

Loved this Cartoon when I was little. (Dutch Version) Funny thing is that then I didn't knew it was made by Japanese Animators. But this this very day I still watch Japanese cartoons from time to time. :D
@@plopkoekmovies5566 Het verhaal is van Herman van Veen, dat is een nederlander. De oorspronkelijke tekeningen zijn van Harald Siepermann, een duitser. De animatie serie is gemaakt in Japan. Dus het is van alle landen wat. Daarbij is het nagesynchroniseerd in veel verschillende talen. De Japanse nasynchronisatie is voor het grootste deel verloren gegaan.
Not just the lyrics but also the arrangement, Herman Van Veen and his longtime collaborator Erik Van der Wurff wrote a beautiful song and the Japanese improved it so much.
Herman van Veen's (Dutch) original will always be the most beautiful to me (but that's very personal since I grew up with it and he has such a unique voice).
Nagumo hayashibara megumi's version is better than the original. Bettet arrangement and vocals. Van Veen's lyrics are better however. Spetter spatter spater. Lekker in het water, ga maar vast naar huis. Hij komt een druppel later ♡
Dutch dub, even though the original, is really bad. On the other hand, the finnish dub has distinct, recognizable voices loaded with character. Even though it only had literally 12 actors, it's borderline unnoticeable. They're *that* good.
+Hattakiri Actually, it wasn't such a special thing. At that time, so often Japanese studios worked together with European (especially Netherlands, Germany, Belgium and Denmark) makers because their ideas were so great and they just needed someone as skilled as the Japanese studios to bring their imaginations to the screen. Hättest du gedacht, dass Hits aus unserer Kindheit wie Heidi, Wickie, Mila Superstar, die Kickers und dergleichen deutsch-japanische Co-Produktionen sind? :)
DeKrischa Bei Heidi & Wickie und manch anderen hab ichs gewusst...und sonst hab ich wieder dazugelernt :) Auf jeden Fall sind wir als Fans echte Glückspilze, stimmts? ^^ I did know about Heidi & Vicky and some others - and yet y'made me learn somethin new :) Nevertheless, us fans are really lucky, ain't we! ^^
Alfred was a Dutch, German and Japanese co-production. The serie had three 'originals', the Japanese, and the two done by Herman van Veen. The most horrible remake is the UK one :)
I find the original used in the Dutch/German Intro much nicer than this. I really wish the japanese would have also used that version instead of changing it to this.
I still think it's a mastermove ahving Megumi Hayashibara (the singer) to voice Alfred. An actress with her talent makes perfection look weak, she's that good!
Japanese version rocks i still think the Dutch is a little better because i grew up with it and all.... but this version is great to thanks for sharing this much appreciated
Hello Jossy, Hey, I was wondering if you will be posting the rest of Alfred's episodes or if you know where I can find them in dutch audio with english subtitles?
@xDeadMaidenx Hard? PowerRangers; da's pas hard!!! Tegenwoordig kijken kinderen alleen nog maar naar Nickelodeon en spelen ze de hele dag op een Nintendo DS of Wii. Zelfs in mijn kennissenkring ben ik dat tegengekomen! Ik uit mijn zorg.
this is so kawaiiiiii dit is zo kawaiiiiii (yeah, am dutch) since i watch many anime series, i may try and find this one in japanese with english subtitles.... if that exists i mean seriously, why not? i love anime and the language same with dommel, which i see in the list here :D i dunno why, this made me happy again, just like the first time i watched it... that was the short version, so yeah :P nostalgia + my favorite language in 1, nothing can beat it :D
+Kurachi84 It exists, under the name Chiisana Ahiru no Ooki na Ai no Monogatari: Ahiru no Kwak It is, however, rather hard to find this anime unless you are in some torrenting groups which are invite only. But it is out there, just gotta look hard. I've seen a few episodes of it.

フルコーラスで聴くことが出来て嬉しいです！！
30年前に林原めぐみさんの「約束だよ」でバックコーラスさせていただきました！
一番高いパートを歌っています♪
ラストは「子供っぽく歌って」とアドバイスがあったのを思い出しました！とても懐かしいです♪
ありがとうございます(*’ｰ’*)ﾉ
この曲ってコーラスがものすごく大事なんですよね。間奏の後とかエンディングの盛りあがりながら終わるところもそうですし。コーラスを担当していただいて本当にありがとうございました。ちなみに自分はこの作品で下請け動画をやっておりました。制作会社のビジュアル80さんはもうなくなってしまいましたが。
wow! greetings and love from germany

Wonderful song.
Just liked because of the name
I love this song.
I wish it was possible to get dvds of this show with the Japanese version with subtitles.

Nagyon király és remek a Japán változat !!!!💓💓👌👌👌👍👍👍
OMG SO CUTE
This is so surreal to me
WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Banger
super
This one goes so hard
I'm sorry Dutch and English
Bullshit, that's you're little elite ass thinking everything Japanese is ALWAYS better.
lol this is so funny :p I never knew it was in any other language then dutch.. ^^ but it's cute!!
harde bars 😤
なつかし！
The Japanese intro makes the most sense musically.
i definitely agree :)
Herman van Veen's (Dutch) original will always be the most beautiful to me (but that's very personal since I grew up with it and he has such a unique voice).
The original is Dutch-Japanese
You could have credited the singer (as voice actress of Alfred) Megumi Hayashibara here...
My apologies, i was not aware 15 years ago. i now added it in the description.
@@Chelone thanks
@@olivierboissiere7086 Idiot.
Kawaii💝😍
What's the name of the japanese soundtrack album??
duracotton It's name is Ahiru no Quack, but it's a single, not an album
Dutch version is best. Followed by this one.
Nagumo hayashibara megumi's version is better than the original. Bettet arrangement and vocals. Van Veen's lyrics are better however. Spetter spatter spater. Lekker in het water, ga maar vast naar huis. Hij komt een druppel later ♡

@@KajiRider1997
Listen to the finnish dub yourself
@@saagabragi6938 I just did, gods the opening is shitty
this has to be the most hilarious thing i've heard in a while
hey, could you pls send me this song,
i really really want it ;D
where did you get this song? I need it mp3!
I prefer the Dutch version, but this is endearing in its own right.
is an anime mad ein japan :) but idea and director from netherlands
And producer from Finland.
Is there's a full song lyric?

1:57
Wut
compleet mee eens mkfirequeen alfred ging teneminste over de gevaren van nazi's lol
4chan intro theme
Absolutely degenerate show that makes simpering weaklings out of humans, but the song is nice.
Herman van Veen was SO LUCKY...getting an anime team and Hiroshi Saito as director...man, this is what I call LUCKY!! O__O

+DeKrischa more like the Japanese were cheaper than their European counterparts.
+GrittoBelito - Yup, many US companies outsourced bigger portions of their productions (I learned about this only recently)
@@DeKrischa ja, vergiss Biene Maja nicht ;)
Japanese version of song is performed by Megumi Hayashibara, which had voice role of Alfred in series.
This not being on Spotify upsets me to no end.
My childhood. In Dutch though.
+187onaPigeon Damnit, came here to say the same thing.
me too! but in icelandic!!
me too, but in german, love Hermann van Veen
Yeah but I like hate how they didnt keep the original beginning part
This arrangement actually improves upon Herman van Veen's original. Beautiful!

Sung by an angel.
Sounds like fuckable meat...
I see what ya did there...
Hint for those who didn't get it: the song is sung by Hayshibara Megumi.
@@EternalKHFan0 Ranma > Rei
Beautiful :)
I like this one very much! Same goes for the dutch one ofc.
sounds nice - I`ve never heared it before.
I still think it's a mastermove ahving Megumi Hayashibara (the singer) to voice Alfred. An actress with her talent makes perfection look weak, she's that good!
I remember when I watched this as a kid I felt something for Winnie.
It's a nice soundtrack to make a reggae cover
at klinkt dit schattig zeg. :)
Japanese version rocks
i still think the Dutch is a little better because i grew up with it and all....
but this version is great to
thanks for sharing this much appreciated
serbian and japanese version are the best!
Jessie knows how to sing, who would've known :D
Hello Jossy,

@MKFirequeen: Counterpoint: Tara Strong's 4th generation My Little Pony. Preferably in English, though.
Did Megumi Hayashibara sing this song?
Ryan Landry
Yes
Just like Slayers
Went there and couldn't find them.
Can't just direct link it to us?
Lol It's Megu-chan singing xD
