I dunno, sounds ok to me. May just be the 'mystique' of hearing singing in a language you don't
understand that makes it better.

Agreed... I think the fact that we don't understand the lyrics or simply the fact that we don't
hear the language often makes it more interesting.
It is tough singing a translated song so props to the singer... Who sang this version? Does any
anon know?

It was unsettling at first. Dat autotune and all, but it grew on me. Maybe it's just cause I love
touhou though >_>

OP here
I'll be totally honest with you, the autotune made me cringe the first couple times I listened to
it too, but if you can get past that it really isn't a bad cover at all, especially considering
it had to be translated from another language and it manages to keep the same feeling of the
original -and- rhymes.
And as for all you /jp/ faggots, you can just ctrl+f4 because I didn't make this flash for you, I
made it for people who enjoy Touhou and its music and actually care about understanding the
lyrical arrangements that fans make.

While it's definitely not bad for what it is, it just doesn't work in other languages.

The only problem is that she sounds like she's yelling the words out in some parts. Still okay,

This is the trailer to a fan made Touhou anime. It has already been fully released and subbed. I
don't know who sings the song in the trailer.

all of you GRORIOUS NIPPON guys GTFO
I don't give a shit about Touhou because as far as I'm concerned all the games are shit tier rip
offs of FAR better games, and the characters don't interest me much, since everyone is a little
girl, nothing against little girls but seriously, Touhou was My Little Pony before MLP existed.
With the exception of that one with the horn and shackles, she seems pretty bad ass.
This song was pretty cool though, makes me want to check out more Touhou stuff.
the girl's voice wasn't all that good, but as far as fan efforts go, this was great.
stop with the GLORIOUS NIPPON crap. If things like this were in English first, it would probably
make them more accessible to people like me who don't care all that much about Japan or Anime and
shit.
I'm going to check out the original on youtube. Who knows, maybe you guys will have another fan.
So quit being so damn hostile.

Seriously faggot, this was by no means a bad dub, and I prefer my anime and shit dubbed, but
saying you broadly don't like cartoons from an entire country; but then that goes away when it's
people you're familiar with are talking in a language your familiar with, it's fucking called
xenophobia.
I don't like touhou either, but people like you fucking piss me the hell off.
And you assholes that only like Japanese things because they are Japanese are hipsters.
Remember beatniks? They had France, you have Japan.
I'm honestly not even angry, I just felt like I had to say that.

where in that sentence did I say I hated other cultures?
if they produce something cool, and they market it towards me, (like anime dubs) I'll enjoy it,
but I'm not going to spend extra time trying to understand something obviously not made for me.
>broadly don't like cartoons from an entire country
I never said that either. I enjoy anime. I watch it dubbed sometimes. I just don't care about it
all that much.
again, I said I DIDN'T CARE ABOUT ANIME ALL THAT MUCH. I never said I hated it just because it
was from Japan.
stop projecting, and don't call people faggots, you sound like a middle schooler.

Holy shit this is NOTHING like the Bad Apple song.
The lyrics are explicit that the singer does not feel pain or suffering, but an emptiness that
they prefer to sadness.
It also has the singer be too confused, the original lyrics sings of how they're certain that
they don't know or care how to fix it. They wish they could "turn white", but would prefer to
"turn black" instead of "trying to change and destroying everything".
The worst mangling comes with the final lines, changing
"I still know nothing about you, nothing about myself, nothing about anything at all. If I open
my heavy eyelids, everything will be destroyed, so I'd prefer EVERYTHING turn to black!"
to
"Can you tell me who you are? Can you tell me where I am? I forgotten how to see, I've forgotten
if I can. If I open up my eyes, there'd be no more going back, 'cause it would all be thrown
away, it would all fade to black!"

I like both versions, the japanese and this, but in this at least you can understand what's being
said.
And the first time I heard this I thought the original singer learned to speak english fluently.
Also, the lyrics makes me nostalgia.

... when did I fucking backpedal? So saying 'no I don't" after you accuse me of hating anime is
backpedaling? I said "I don't care", not "I hate it". The definition of not caring isn't "I don't
like something" it's "I DON'T CARE"
I'm pretty sure EVERYONE who is AT ALL NORMAL but doesn't watch anime agrees with what I said
about anime. Dragon Ball Z and Pokemon were a huge part of my childhood and a ton of other
people. Even if they don't watch anime as adults, most people agree, yeah, it's cool sometimes.

It's that this version is an autotune MANGLING of both the meaning of the song (see >>1564624)

Yup.
Direct translation or no translation definitely sounds like my tastes.
A middleman like a translator has no right to insert their own thoughts into an author's work,
their own notes into a musician's song, it is downright insulting.
