"Baka Mitai" (Dame Da Ne) ENGLISH Cover (Yakuza OST) - Mr. Goatee 

Memes aside, I really like this song

Imagine this guy singing this song at a talent show or some singing contest.. i'd say he would make the whole audience get on there feet clapping and cheering him on

Perfect timing for the meme that’s been going around

BRUH I LOVE HOW THE ENGLISH DOESN'T SOUND CRINGY OR UNNATURAL. IT'S ALMOST LIKE HE'S SINGING THE ORIGINAL SINCE SOME SYLLABLES ARE THE SAME LIKE "I LOVE YOU MO" AND "I LOVE YOU MORE"

I like the fact that the English lyrics can also sound just like the original Japanese Lyrics, it takes a certain level of skill and creativity to make it happen. I hate how underrated you are my guy! Hope to see more from you .

Great job!

OH MY GOD! The way you used the lines "I don't deny" and "Time and again" to make it sound almost exactly like the Japanese version is BRILLIANT! I absolutely adore it this is genius!!!

"I don't deny" - baka mitai "You may know" - Yume no "I love you more" I love you mo "I know we" - na no ni Damn you managed to make it sounds like the original with actual English meaning. That is nut, well done!

GOD YOUR VOICE IS SO POWERFUL PLEASE NEVER STOP BEING SO AMAZING

This is THE best adaptation of a song to another language that I have EVER seen. It manages to sound almost the same while keeping the meaning through translation. A masterpiece.

Past: Hah, meme song. Funny. Now: *Cries in knowing the meaning and how it reflects in today's life now*

英訳もそうだけどちゃんと原曲のフレーズに聞こえる英単語をチョイスしてくれてて空耳っぽくなってるのもすごいよかった:))

My girlfriend of one and a half years broke up with me a few days ago. I feel like this song, even the Japanese version, is a direct reflection of my feelings. I've been feeling lonely and I'm devastated by the love I still feel for her knowing she will never again look at me with the same eyes as before. Every time I hear this song I tear up..

This cover is criminally underrated.

I'm just crying, this is so damn good The final “baka mitai” killed me inside, this is so dramatic and beautiful, I practically felt the sadness and sorrow like they were my own feelings

"Dore dake" becoming "Knowing I can't" sounded SUPER good omg

The way you translated and rearranged the lyrics from Japanese to English was superb! It doesn't sound cringey at all! This, together with your versions of Kaguya Sama Love is War's songs are my top three faves!

切ない歌のフレーバーを保ったまま原詩の発音に引っ掛けていて、とても名訳だと思いました！ 「Time and again」と「Knowing I can’t」で度肝を抜かれて、満を持しての"Bakamitai"で涙を抑えきれませんでした

1:10 look at the back it’s perfectly timed :0

After listening to the original and this multiple times, I just realized that A LOT of lines sound almost exactly the same in Japanese. Kodomo - I show no Yume wo - You may know Kidzuite - Kid whose ran away (kid slurred into whose to sound even more similar) Uso ga - And who got heta na kuse ni - hurt while chased his dream (lengthened "while" and muted the "L" to match na) Waraenai - I know in a way I love you mo - I love you more roku ni iwanai - could even describe (lengthened "scribe" and muted the "B" even more similar to iwanai) Kuchibeta ne - Couldn't even say (he pronounced couldn't as Kuh-dint even to match the cadence) Na no ni, na no ni doushite - I know we, I know we walked away (walked lengthened to match doushite) Dame Da ne - Time and Again (the unaccented "me" and "and" followed by the accented "Again") Dame yo - I'm a fool Anata Ga - All that I got (pronounced "I" as "ah") Dore dake - Knowing I can't (pronounced "I" as "ah" and lengthened the "can't" while muting the "n't") Yugamanai - All the memories (accented last syllable of "memories" to match "nai" It doesn't look like all of these sound the same just by reading it, but when you listen to the OG Bakamitai, it really does. All this fits WAY too much to be a coincidence. To do it this way, while making the words match the original's cadence and pronunciation, WHILE keeping the almost the exact same meaning? This is some GALAXY BRAIN level translating holy shit.

Where " i sing for you"???

The way, how english lyrics sound almost the same as the original chorus, makes this cover even more awesome👏

One of the best JP->EN lyrics arrangement I have ever seen.

I really like how well you manage to translate the lyrics while still managing to make the song sound like the original. Much better than the official English version in that regard

The camera switch thingy looks 150% more dramatic today, i think it's the dame dane effects 😔🤘

LYRICS: I don't deny I show no happiness You may know a little kid whose run away And who got Hurt while he chased his dreams I know in a way it sounds familiar I love you more than I could even describe Couldn't even say it no, My words stumble I know we, I know we walked away But I let it all, let it all go Time and again! I'm a fool, I'm no good at all All that I got is a love that won't go away Knowing I can't even drink it off I'll recall All the memories They will never die Baka mitai (I've been a fool)

Why it has only 300k views? It's the best cover of Baka Mitai ever!

honestly, this showed up in my recommended. I turned it on as a joke. . . and now I love it. big props, man. I love it.

BRUH the lyrics are so clever!!! WHAT it's awesome

"Na no ni" replaced with "I know we" 0:57 is so good

The song is so good that I don’t even want the meme to die off

i love how you made some of the lyrics sound like the japanese one

At first, I was simply curious but dang dude you got not only style you also got them bars! Hope you keep it up man!

God I’ve been looking for so long for an English version thank you

D A M E D A N A E

your voice is so fucking good for this oml. genuine chills hearing the lyrics in english for the first time.

great lyrics. fits very well to the original sound while keeping the meanings of the lyrics.

It's amazing how almost every starting syllable of the lyrics sound like the original. Great cover!

Really love this english cover ... the sounds of the original are maintained as much as possible. Looks like you worked very hard to find similar pronunciation in ending of each word in english to match with what original sounds like. It's impressive ! Subscribe !

*Meme or not, This Song hits, and it Hits* *H A R D*

actually really like how you made a lot of the lyrics to sound similar to the Japanese ones, so that even though they are different you can use similar timing and tonality with them. It just makes the transition between the Japanese and English version a lot smoother and more natural feeling. Good job!

your voice is perfect for this song. It’s deep, perfect tone and the vibration you do on long notes are awesome

Takes talent to sing Takes skill to translate Takes creative genius to tie in a translation of a song to make it sound eerily similar to its original language and still keep a lot of the core themes Well fucking done

YOU NAILED THE ENGLISH COVER. I LOVE THIS MAN!

Why this sounds like a legit song of 80's

Found this video on a random meme site. First time i have been so impressed that I needed to find the original and subscribe. Translating so that you keep the sound right, and keep the mean. Fucking incredible man.

All that's missing is a glass and a photo of a toy racecar

Wow this is honestly such a magnificent cover. Excellent video thanks for sharing.

Usually, I dislike English covers of Japanese songs, but jeezus crisp, you have an incredible voice. And this cover is good as well. It’s nice and easy on the ears.

Dude. I love this. Plus, this is the first video I’ve seen of you

Great cover my guy!

You are too good man, i don’t know why you don’t have more subs

You absolute legend XD

Man, you actually managed to keep the lyrics sound like the original (example: "Dore dake" and "Knowing I can't" at 1:22), you're just amazing.

The sont is actually pretty damn good😔 good job

i did not even expect the english cover to be this good jeez. nice voice

damn this deepfake is pretty well made

This amazing I love it absolutely deserves more views

I usually don't like english covers of japanese songs but this one is good

I can’t stop coming back to this video, not only are you a fantastic singer but it amazes me that after listening to the original over and over again after completing yakuza 0 it’s weird how even though I couldn’t understand the words I still knew what he was saying & after listening to this it just shows the emotion means more than the lyrics in order to understand what they’re truly saying

Ah yes, beauty at its finest

Insane work for the translation. The lyrics still makes sense, and you can sing along the original version, it's still really similar. You kept the same spirit as the original song. Thank you for this cover!

よく歌詞考えたな。 元を大きく崩さず出来てる。

Oh my god! The way the English is put together is done so well! My brother threw this up one night and if I wasn't paying attention, I'd think it's in Japanese. Ha ha ha! So good!

If I heard this in a bar while heartbroken, trust me I’m buying drinks for everyone

発音にまでこだわっているのが伝わる 日本語へのリスペクトを感じる素晴らしい動画でした

"Time and again, im a fool, I'm no good at all." Lol perfect

Fully cover please! this was amazing!

Again I love this man no homo but his covers are always on point

DUDE! I wasn't expecting that, that's some fine lyricism right there to get the english sentences to serve the same functions as the original, that's how you translate a song!

めちゃくちゃ上手！！😁

I can really appreciate you tried to make the English version sound like the original. I hear translating Japanese versions to singable English versions, while keeping the original meaning, is already hard enough, so what you managed to do here is pretty amazing!

"Time and again, I'm a fool. I'm no good at all." Yo same

still coming back to this i need a one hour loop >__< !!!!

BRUH, this is so freaking good! Too bad he didn't cover the whole song. Dude has talent!

Dayum bro, that the best cover I was looking for. This sounds really natural, great job, karaoke dragon!

완벽합니다. 완벽 그자체. 풀버전이 아니어서 좀 슬픕니다. 노래 잘 듣고 갑니다

Nailed it with the English lyrics, Suits it really well while retaining the meaning!!

This isn't meme. It's a masterpiece.

TIME AND AGAIN I gotta say, this is done so well! A lot of song translators don't try to make the syllables match in both the target and original language. You pulled it off and pulled it off well! I'm glad I found this. I actually have this stuck in my head

That voice is so perfect with this song!

所々日本語挟みつつメロディ重視の英語アレンジ素晴らしいです😃

First you cover a Kamen Rider song, now you cover a Yakuza karaoke song? Are you reading my mind to see my RU-vid cover artist wishlist? Because if so that's kind of creepy but please keep doing it.

Holy crap, your voice AND the translation; both were amazing, Jesus dude keep it up

Me when I first heard this song: *haha its the meme song from Yakuza* Me listening to the song after understanding the lyrics: *haha I’m in tears now, It’s okay Kazuma •~•*

That is actually good. You have a serious talent.

1:09 gives me chills

Amazing cover man just subscribed ❤

PLS CALL THIS GUY FOR YAKUZA 9 TO MAKE SOUND IN ENLGISH VER

I'm glad the algorithm led me to this. i genuinely love the yakuza series and you did this song justice. i clap for you 👏

Should've used this for the official translation for y7 and the remastered versions!

This is so good I've been repeating it on a loop for the day! The way you tried to fit the English lyrics to the Japanese lyrics in the right notes really goes further than simply translating them. Really would love a full version if possible. Keep up the good work man! Subbed!

I have a horrible feeling this will be the new giornos theme

Wow you've got a Personality Wonderful Voice! Keep going dude!

0:06 why does this remind me of rick roll

Damn, that was good, dude!

Please man, make the English cover for GTO: Great Teacher Onizuka - Driver's High. I'm still waiting!

omg this is perfect translations and sounds
