One Piece Film: RED - "Backlight" | ENGLISH Ver | AmaLee 

You're one of the few English vocalists who does Ado's style so well!

So far she's really done all the songs justice. Can tell she's going all out for them, incredible. Can't wait to hear the next song in the ost. Blinding Lullaby I think it's called? That one has a lot of range to it

I just got to meet AmaLee at a fan convention a few weeks ago and it was AMAZING! She is very sweet and one hell of a singer. Love your stuff, AmaLee.

The producers really missed an awesome opportunity when they didnt put your singing into the movie. Its absolutely brilliant!

Lyrics. My memories so good and awful, it seems they gave me a grudge But I have left bitterness and resentment behind me And it is all thanks to him Oh look, it's the clowns who think they know How crushing loneliness can be You know nothing 'til you come with me And run wild! Release your rage Let the winds of wrath blow them away Not gonna live in compliance-iance-iance I'm not playin' the victim no more Time to go rage, let's punish them all For their love; I'm done trying to trust Not gonna live in compliance-iance-iance Gonna play with fire, backlit by the flames By the end, everything turned to red, it was brutal yet so beautiful A kind of red, pulls you in, and won't let you look away Make you feel a bit feverish Scarlet crimson lit up from behind, so bright'll make you go blind Hypnotizing every eye that sees its red aura blazing Held captive by the allure My heart got tangled up bad and now it's frayed No matter how much I've learned I understand that my anger's here to stay The words rush out And run wild! Release your rage Let the winds of wrath blow them away Not gonna live in compliance-iance-iance I'm not playin' the victim no more Time to go rage, let's punish them all For their love; I'm done trying to trust Not gonna live in compliance-iance-iance Gonna play with fire, backlit by the flames Though my anger exhausts me and I fall apart My actions may cost me but I can't let go of the past, I refuse to move on I know if you would listen, you would understand It's time you entered into this bad dreamland You made for me and suffer like I have So let's run wild! Release your rage Let the winds of wrath blow them away Not gonna live in compliance-iance-iance I'm not playin' the victim no more Time to go rage, let's punish them all For their love; I'm done trying to trust Not gonna live in compliance-iance-iance Gonna play with fire, backlit by the flames

Is it weird to say that I feel like you've really hit your niche with this particular style of singing? It really highlights all the things you can do with your voice, and you're able to put the right emotion into it so it literally gives me chills at certain points. I loved the movie, and I love the original by Ado, but this is so freaking good too. It makes me wish they had dubbed the songs as well. I'm really looking forward to hearing more! I hope you cover the rest of the songs from the film so my Uta playlist is complete!

I like that you didn't try to mimic the same things Ado does with her voice, and made changes to better suit your own voice. You still did the growls to keep the same general vibe, but you didn't do the higher pitched voice breaks that Ado does (not sure what to call those). Very good cover in my opinion. 👍

all the OPFR covers by her are getting better and better. i love u so much, AmaLee 💙🦋

You were the perfect choice for voicing Uta in the movie

I’ve literally been addicted to the OST since I watched the movie, your covers are like the cherry on top.

I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS ONE IT'S MY FAVE FROM OPRED AND YOU SMASHED IT AGAIN 🎉

I’ve been listening to you sing all the way back in 2014 and I can’t believe how proud I’ve been of you because of how far you’ve gotten in life now with all this! Your voice is so beautiful and love how you make justice to these songs!

Why am I finding out now your the actual voice actor for Uta dub, and why did they not use your voice for the songs it’s fantastic

I heard this on Spotify this morning and I love the album art! AmaLee on her throne rocking that “please tell me more” pose.

エッジの効いた声が素敵すぎる 逆光の怒りの感情を表現されていて英語で歌えるようになりたいと思いました

WTH man, this song slaps so hard. I just saw the short and searched it up to save to my music playlist. If this song was an anime opening id turn my skips off forever. LETS GO!!!

Oh shoot, seeing Lee appearing with Uta in the beginning reminded me that according to her lore, there is a universe where Uta is doing better because she has Lee as a companion. That makes me feel good.

Your song is so passionate and awesome! 💖💖💖 Kudos! 😊

I hope you do I'm Invincible next. It's one of my favorites from the soundtrack. Don't think anyone has covered that as of yet.

I absolutely love the near 1:1 with the original lyrics. Oh yeah, and the performance is good too

They made the right choice for casting the perfect english VA and singer for UTA. Incredible!

You sing the film:red songs so well. Hell, You and Ado's voice are a gift from heaven.

You should have been the English vocalist for the dubbed film's music. You are awesome! I'm addicted to your work with Ado's songs. Congratulations for getting all these people to love your songs. You made my day.

Will you do Fleeting Lullaby?

I know Higurashi is old and all, but do you think we could ever see an English cover of "Nageki No Mori" someday? Don't think anyone's done it yet, and it would be neat to see you do that one at some point, especially since your other Higurashi covers were fantastic. =)

I hope the Blu-ray release works out a deal so we can hear these covers in the dubbed version of the movie

Yet again you utterly nail this so hard. You were undeniably the perfect choice to dub Uta, and with each song release we all crave the alternate cut of Film Red with your versions of the soundtrack! Much love!

once again, you NAIL this Ado cover!! I wanna also shout out to the lyricist Brina Palencia, bc I know it's not easy trying to balance accurate staying accurate to the translation while trying to make sure it doesn't bog down the singing and how things normally sound in English. Ya'll are all crushing it over there and it all sounds so great!!

I feel the rage of the people oppressed by their rulers. Oppressed by the people who call themselves the World Government! Lady Uta will be my savior.

Though not made for it this is an S tier breakup song that matches the energy of Carrie Underwood's Before He Cheats except instead of slashing tires it's commiting arson

LETTS FREAKING GOOOOO!!!! 😁😁🎧🎧🎧🎧🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶

Hearing that makes me so sad that the songs were translated only on some languages and not in all versions :/ Songs were translated for: French, Spanish, Catlan, Portuguese & Brazilian Portuguese Sadly not translated for: English, German, Italian and Latin Spanish Don't get me wrong the original Japanese songs are total bangers and were also awesome to hear in the cinema but knowing that other languages got the hole OST translated in their own language and not all makes me kinda sad.

The intro makes me think of persona 5

This song is so fucking dope

Man, I feel like the lyrics to all these songs really hit harder and take on newer meaning after you see the movie. Anyway, super awesome cover as always, AmaLee.

You did a great job Voicing Uta I love your music so much ❤

Te quedo increible, me gusto mucho tu version en ingles 😄💙

Another awesome Lee and you're talented in everything you do, from voice acting to your outstanding singing in music videos and covers! You've been a huge inspiration for me to be more confident of my singing voice and I wanted to thank you for being an amazing person!

I knew from the growl at 0:30 this was gonna be good. I was right but it went far beyond my expectations. The vocals are 10/10 and all the visuals compliment it. Incredible job, for everyone involved in the making of this.

Whoa prop's to the whole team. The visual's are fucking amazing. Great job on covering the song Amalee! Love that your covering the songs since we missed the opportunity to actually hear it during your movie dub.

Yes! She's doing all of them, I want to hear more of her beautiful music! Please?

I can't stop listening to this!!! IT"S TOO GOOD

I can't stop replaying it, it's good!!!!!!

I expect only the best from the person who did the English voice for Uta. And this is amazing.

U rock amalee, you definitely made me proud to listening you as uta & ado herself!

I swear when a song is so good, i just stop breathing for a second This cover is the one that shocked me. This is amazing

I’ll be 100% with this … I’m glad they kept Ado as the singing even in the English Dub … but holy Hera when Film Red gets released on DVD they need to have Amalee as the English singer cause that would be amazing !!

Comment for the algorithm

This was probably my favorite song from the movie. You did it so amazingly! Your voice is so incredible as always!

My mem'ries so good and awful, it seems they gave me a grudge But I have left bitterness and resentment behind me And it is all thanks to him Oh look, it's the clowns who think they know How crushing loneliness can be You know nothing 'til you come with me And run wild! Release your rage Let the winds of wrath blow them away Not gonna live in compliance-iance-iance I'm not playin' the victim no more Time to go rage, let's punish them all For their love; I'm done trying to trust Not gonna live in compliance-iance-iance Gonna play with fire, backlit by the flames By the end, everything turned to red, it was brutal yet so beautiful A kind of red, pulls you in, and won't let you look away Make you feel a bit feverish Scarlet crimson lit up from behind, so bright'll make you go blind Hypnotizing every eye that sees its red aura blazing Held captive by the allure My heart got tangled up bad and now it's frayed No matter how much I've learned I understand that my anger's here to stay The words rush out And run wild! Release your rage Let the winds of wrath blow them away Not gonna live in compliance-iance-iance I'm not playin' the victim no more Time to go rage, let's punish them all For their love; I'm done trying to trust Not gonna live in compliance-iance-iance Gonna play with fire, backlit by the flames Though my anger exhausts me and I fall apart My actions may cost me but I can't let go of the past, I refuse to move on I know if you would listen, you would understand It's time you entered into this bad dreamland You made for me and suffer like I have So let's run wild! Release your rage Let the winds of wrath blow them away Not gonna live in compliance-iance-iance I'm not playin' the victim no more Time to go rage, let's punish them all For their love; I'm done trying to trust Not gonna live in compliance-iance-iance Gonna play with fire, backlit by the flames

This is fantastic. For an english version it's really well done! Seems like you're on a roll to do all Film Red songs! I can't wait to hear the rest they all differ from each other in style and beat. Backlight is nice, cannot say it's my favourite of the Ado songs. Really looking forward to seeing how she tackles Fleeting Lullaby and I'm Invincible 😁

Seeing a couple comments on her not getting to sing in the dub and I'd like to theorize that, since these lyrics are almost one-to-one with Crunchyroll's translation, she originally *was* going to sing, but then someone else on the team got self-conscious about it because "what if they hate that it's in English?"

Whooo! Another epic Film Red cover! Feels just as intense as the originals did in the theater

ALL OF THIS TIME I THINK THAT ITS ADO SINGING. BUT THIS IS YOU

This is insanely fire 🔥 I love it..

She IS the English actor for Uta in Film: Red

My memories so good and awful It seems they gave me a grudge But I have left bitterness and resentment behind me And it is all thanks to him Oh look it's the clowns who think they know How crushing loneliness can be You know nothing 'til you come with me And run wild Release your rage Let the winds of wrath blow them away Not gonna live in compliance-iance-iance I'm not playing the victim no more Time to go rage Let's punish them all for their love I'm done trying to trust Not gonna live in compliance-iance-iance I'm not playing with fire Backlit by the flame (Na na, na na, na nanana Na na, na na, na nanana Na na, na na, na nanana Na na na, na na na na) By the end everything turned to red It was brutal yet so beautiful A kind of red pulls you in and won't let you look away Make you feel a bit feverish Scarlet crimson lit up from behind So bright it'll make you go blind Hypnotizing every eye that sees its red aura blazing Held captive by the allure My heart got tangled up bad and now it's frayed No matter how much I've learned I understand that my anger's here to stay The words rush out And run wild Release your rage Let the winds of wrath blow them away Not gonna live in compliance-iance-iance I'm not playing the victim no more Time to go rage Let's punish them all for their love I'm done trying to trust Not gonna live in compliance-iance-iance Gonna play with fire Backlit by the flame Oh, my anger exhausts me and I fall apart My actions may cost me but I can't Let go of the past, I refuse to move on I know if you would listen, you would understand It's time you entered into this bad dreamland You made for me and suffer like I have So let's run wild Release your rage Let the winds of wrath blow them away Not gonna live in compliance-iance-iance I'm not playing the victim no more Time to go rage Let's punish them all for their love I'm done trying to trust Not gonna live in compliance-iance-iance Gonna play with fire Backlit by the flame (Na na, na na, na nanana Na na, na na, na nanana Na na, na na, na nanana Na na Na na na na)

Still sad I’ll never get heavens falling down from jojo stone ocean but this is a banger so it’s okay

Wait, if Amalee is the dub VA for Uta. Does this make this by default the (official) (and amazing) English rendition of backlight?

I don't like op, but I love this interpretation of the song 🤙

Backlight (From ”One Piece Film: Red”) Lyrics don't mind me... My mem'ries so good and awful, it seems they gave me a grudge But I have left bitterness and resentment behind me And it is all thanks to him Oh look, it's the clowns who think they know How crushing loneliness can be You know nothing 'til you come with me And run wild! Release your rage Let the winds of wrath blow them away Not gonna live in compliance-iance-iance I'm not playin' the victim no more Time to go rage, let's punish them all For their love; I'm done trying to trust Not gonna live in compliance-iance-iance Gonna play with fire, backlit by the flames By the end, everything turned to red, it was brutal yet so beautiful A kind of red, pulls you in, and won't let you look away Make you feel a bit feverish Scarlet crimson lit up from behind, so bright'll make you go blind Hypnotizing every eye that sees its red aura blazing Held captive by the allure My heart got tangled up bad and now it's frayed No matter how much I've learned I understand that my anger's here to stay The words rush out And run wild! Release your rage Let the winds of wrath blow them away Not gonna live in compliance-iance-iance I'm not playin' the victim no more Time to go rage, let's punish them all For their love; I'm done trying to trust Not gonna live in compliance-iance-iance Gonna play with fire, backlit by the flames Though my anger exhausts me and I fall apart My actions may cost me but I can't let go of the past, I refuse to move on I know if you would listen, you would understand It's time you entered into this bad dreamland You made for me and suffer like I have So let's run wild!

Amazing job with all the covers so far! Wish these could have been in the English dub of the movie to go along with your voice acting. Love the all the growls in this song!

This is a good reflection of Fleeting Lullaby. Not only in tone, but in visuals. Everything is stable and focused due to it being a song of anger and determination. The other is chaotic and happy, since the Uta has utter control of the sing sing world and doesn't even need to care when she succeeds there.

I knew it, Uta is a MONARCH variant. Or even a puppet/clone of monarch. The multiverse in anime is getting deep and bigger.

Could you do memories one piece? you're amazing. I've been listening to you since i was in middle school! I'm 21 now and still come back for your voice!

Will you do I'm invincible and when the wind blows and the world's conclusion ? Those are my favorite songs. Oh yeah and that one fake type song that sounds in the film

One thing I love about these covers is how you can work out what the emphasis of each song is meant to be, something you can't determine just from reading the lyrics online.

That opening.....electric guitar I think it is? It reminds me of the opening of Life will Change from Persona 5

Could you sing "Sunshine" opening 2 of the anime Nurarihyon no Mago? Please. You are amazing. Success.

I heard that the compliance part wouldn't be good in english, so many youtubers changed part, but you used and is OH so good!!

Amalee has such a good voice

I really hope i can download this but i cant😢

This art reminds me of Villains are destined to die

dude she hit most parts so well its nice to listen comparable to ado version top top !

Holy crap, this is amazing AmaLee. 🌎✨😇♥️😎 Thanks for making awesome stuff like this!! 😇✨🌎

This sounds like Persona music in the best possible way

03:13 gives me chill. Every time. Magnificent work!

Great song! Breaking the server again was definitely worth it I hope 🤣

The growl in her voice omg. Amazing cover as usual!!

i tried to sing like you too , i also have a beautiful voice , i hope could meet you one day

I really appreciate the video, you can tell heart and soul was poured into the animations!

Why couldn't you bring those masterpieces into the English dub?!

I love it when the voices of the characters from my favorite franchises sing. It's so much fun getting to hear them more, and it let's me see the actor and characters in a light we wouldn't be able to see them on the show or game. It also lets me connect to them more when I sing along. 🎵 I've always been a sucker for stuff like that, even when I was a kid.

And here we were, just having a nice, peaceful, chill afternoon. Then you hit us with the Bankai. You madlass, you. 😄🦋🔥 On another note, these songs remind me that I need to REALLY go back and catch up on One Piece (I left off where we're introduced to Chopper).

Oh my god...from every songs that you cover Uta-Ado Ulbum, this song is The best cover for me right now(I know it still more 5 songs but I like Gyakkou since first time I listen it). //between I listen this, I pray your neck don't broken because growls and scream from Ado voice style.

Been waiting for this one! Was my favorite song from the movie and what a voice for Uta!

I will say this is one of the best covers i have ever heard, because I have both this and the original song playing on split screen and holy molly it sounds amazing with the original vocals blending with Ama's vocals, and I will say that Ama nailed Ado's style of singing so well.

That tone is everything 🎵💃💃

Guess it kinda make sense that she would make the English version of Uta's song cause she is the one who voiced her in funimation

Personally my favorite of Uta's song so I can't help but groove to this cover

I know you may not see this but @LeeandLie I really think you'd do an amazing job of covering "Ikari Wo Kureyo" by glim spanky (the end song for One Piece Film: Gold) if you ever find yourself looking for another song to cover. ❤❤😊😊 Love your work as always!!

Just as amazing and Jamming as I expected it to be ever since you announced making a cover for it - The wait was SO WORTH IT! Keep being Marvelous AmaLee ✨👌🤩😈

OML i was reading the comments, honestly they surprised me when they said that 'Amalee was better than ado' and 'amalee has better growls' and 'ado has a very limited vocal range' I personally love amalee, Ado changes personality in every song to better suit the song, and if you think her growls aren't as good then you obviously haven't heard ANY song in her kyogen album, especially Usseewa! yes maybe ado has a limited vocal range, from an fucking ear-piercing B6 to as low as an E2. she has more than 4 octaves stop shitting your selves. Again i'm just proving a point amalee is a very good singer. I love her version of idol

I think this is hands down one of the best years for you vocally! You pushed your range so much and blew every song out of the water! 💖

It baffles me that she hasn't been contacted by funimation to do an official English dub

Wow this is a really impressive cover! You sound just like the English VA for Uto!

IM HERE IM BANGING IM LIVING FOR THIS ENGLISH COVER

She does it again! One of my favorite songs! She does Ado and Uta justice. I hope you do Fleeting Lullaby and the others too!! ♥️♥️

Ohh, Hell Yeah! 😎 That’s our Goddess of Diva! 😍🦋💙

Oh yeah, Uta. You're definitely not a villain. I am convinced after hearing this song...
