(Not my song, the original is Shake & Shake by Sumika; also you can't watch the video if you're in Japan. Dang copyright laws...)
Do yourself a favor and go watch Pretty Boy Detective Club! It's a "pretty" fun anime ;)

Answer 1

im concerned

Answer 2

but his voice sounds like isry

Answer 3

which is kinda concerning

Answer 4

Hmm- well- Nice cover (: Um- it sounds better in Japanese- But yh it's good- I agree it does sound like Isry

Answer 5

Did you not translate it-?

Answer 6

It's loosely translated~ I didn't, like, plop it into Google translate or anything lol
But yes, I did try to base it on the original, so I can't take total credit for that either ':D

Answer 7

Ok so then it is really good if it isn't 100% based of the original- I think that if you tried it in japenese it would sound pretty awesome tho

Answer 8

Hmm interesting idea! That could be fun, but if I did that I really would get a copyright strike XD jkjk. I'll think about it; my Japanese pronunciation is pretty bad ':D

Answer 9

Ahhhhh Hmmmmmmmmm Well, Japanese pronunciation can be difficult, what helped me was typing a phrase that I was having trouble with into google translate and listening to the robot lady person speak. And in order to check my pronunciation I just click the mic and speak the phrase into google translate and if it understands me and translates accordingly then I know that I said it properly. Anyways, yes I am sure it would be fun. And Lol no it would not be copyright unless you claimed it to be OG-

Answer 10

Fair enough! That's a pretty good tip actually, I might give that a try.
And yeah, Sony Music already blocked my video in Japan XD, so I guess that's the worst they could do. Probably -_-

Answer 11

I- LOLLLLL- That's- Bahahhahahaha- Sadness ok well as long as you say it is a cover you should be fine

Answer 12

Yeah I was surprised they found it so fast. I guess they got some pretty good audio-recognition algorithms or something... Maybe if I recreated the song with my own instrumentals instead of just ripping from the original song? But I'm not skilled enough to do that, and I'd probably still get caught anyway, lol

Answer 13

Mhm- well you could always use a mixer

Answer 14

Ahh, that does sound like a good idea!
Honestly I'm still a total noob at mixing audio, but I think it'd be fun to learn. Yeah, maybe for my next "project" of this kind, I'll use something more advanced than just Audacity and Windows Movie Editor XD

Answer 15

Sounds fun! If you ever want help with your Japanese let me know and I will get back to you and help in my free time (: If you're interested

Answer 16

Thanks, I appreciate it!
