Im sorry if i got how the spaces between the words should be wrong, i just translated the hiragana from the nico nico video of the karaoke, so yea, kind of derpy. Thanks for watching! :)
I'm probably going to go with the non-popular opinion, but I like Miku's vocal better too. It's true that humans have something vocaloids don't, but vocaloids also have something that humans don't. And in this case, that "something" makes Miku's version better.
Rest In Peace powapowa. This song got me through some of the toughest moments of my life, and I still come back to it for comfort when I feel like there’s nothing left to stay here for. This song is very dear to my heart. Thank you
I actually listened to reol's version first, and just now I looked up the og version. I'm not disappointed. This makes me tear up.. As if the emotions of the writer, perfectly conveyed through Miku's voice...
I can't believe there are people who hate this voice. It feels so... great? It captures the right emotion and makes me tear up every time. It's very... innocent-sounding even though it's a sad song? It's not explicitly sad, it sounds like a child. Maybe that's why it hits so much harder.
Rest in Peace, Powapowa-P. This one song you made is one of my favorite when i was introduced to vocaloid way back in my junior high days. May god bless your afterlife, and your next life.
This song is all about regrets and "what ifs." Always thinking if things would be better without me and in the end it will all be alright. It really makes you feel sorry for not being a good person to someone. lThank you for this touching music, PowapowaP (RIP) We miss you and hope you are happy wherever you are.
tbh i dont find this bad at all, this brings me back from 2007 or something where i first listen to miku, plus the side story of this song, everything goes well, dude i cried ahahah, this was a great slingshot to my childhood,how i really love miku since childhood, i grew admiring her, and wished to be like her, inspired me to cosplay, it such a melancholic kokoro hurt and happiness, thank you.
Oh god no...When you can read the Japanese word it hurts even harder nu...(Why did I watch this again da feels is back) Good song though. Rip composer...
I love this version that has Miku voice, it's cute, she sounds all calm and peaceful but actually she has gone through many thoughts that also hurt her, Powapowa is really creative
I never really liked Miku's voice. Except this song. This is the song, where her mechanical voice has a calming yet eerie and sad touch to it. I miss my ex girlfriend so much, she made me discover this incredible piece of art, saying that this song was her description: a calm, yet eerie and sad person. We had so much fun together, and left each other on good parts (I don't know how to say this thing in english, as I'm writing this I am sleep deprived, food deprived and thirsty as hell, so my brain is on total breakdown right now. Sorry for the butchering of the english language).
I love this version. I also love Reol's, but I put both in my playlist because they both sound great! You must have the original to have the cover. That is why I love this version as well, it's new (or was) when it was released and details I notice do variate with a cover.
this has got to be my favorite work by siinamota; the lyrics are very close to me thanks to certain personal experiences i've had. every so often i go back to listen to this when times are tough and i end up feeling a little better.
All these comments remind me why i listen to vocaloid songs on NicoNico....why does these vocals sound bad to you guys??? I don't get it, I like this version far more than Reol's one. Don't get me wrong her singing is great but oddly enough i think that one doesn't capture the emotions PowapowaP intended it to.
[English Lyrics] Would you have felt happy if I had eaten up curry and rice for supper today? But you said with a very frowny face I didn't really have to try I wish I (had the courage to) hit back when I'm bullied. Then you may show me some more smiles. I wish I lived alone and I wouldn't get you into my troubles. But then I would spend my life without knowing you. If I were a liar, would you scold me? Many "if"s like these appear to me when I'm alone in my room. And the days of nothing get cracks and many "if"s are leaking from the cracks. Now I close my eyes, my ears and start to walk forward. I can't hear your voice and can't see your smiles, but it's fine. I wish I could erase only memories I hate from my head. If I were an honest person, would you believe this was my last (lie to you)? (Then) I'm sure you would show me a smile. I know it all, don't I? I've tried to tell you many times, but my words wouldn't reach you and "that's strange". I (just) want to come to you (but I can't). But my knees tremble (as if saying) "Serves you right." If I were alive, Someday I would sing you a song I've made for you, the song I've never sung to you because I feel embarrassed. I hope this song reaches you someday. Now I close my eyes, my ears and start to walk forward. I can't hear your voice and can't see your smiles, but it's fine. Now I close my eyes, my ears and start to walk forward. I can't hear your voice and can't see your smiles, but it's fine.
Im trying to listening Reol's covering this song because some people says this version was bad. But after that, i like this version more and i don't know why (¯･ω･¯)
+Justin Schroeder Try going by ear, it'll helps in the long run when playing the guitar. One day you'll just realize you can hear the chords of a song and just play it in one hearing.
+Weeaboo Trash He passed away as +Steven Lin says... If you listen and see the videos of the last productions he did before dying looks like he was a more and more perturbed after each song. It was a real loss to the world of Vocaloid, His real name was "椎名 もた" (Shiina Mota), he was just 20 years old... And before passing away he left us: Strobe Last, Hello Strobe, Strobe Light, Astronauts, Yume no mani mani, "Q", Akai Pen, and other song of Vocalod, that I think nobody will never forget.
There's no debate here. Here, Siina Mota's melancholic rendition of Miku perfectly embodies what he wants to express in this song. Reol's, meanwhile, is disingenuous and sounds too forced to my liking. Anyone who says otherwise... ehh, your affection to those Vocaloid-covering hacks (especially the _ahem_ "Youtaites") will wear off soon enough. You'll be fine. Probably.
Of course a human version of the song is gonna sound better .-. I don't understand why people need to say that this song vocals is bad, I don't find any strange or bad in this, just normal singing by miku, then of course everyone has their own opinion, but no need to bash miku -.-
She sounds like a villager or more specifically K.K Slider from Animal crossing. If you want my reason for not liking her voice in this song there it is. It's really obnoxious like K.K Slider's.
