The Black Parade but it's an anime opening (feat.  

IT WORKS SO WELL 🥺

when you remember that Gerard actually is a huge geek and loves anime and manga, this becomes lowkey wholesome

Feels more like an anime ending than an Opening lol

What pure joy to be a part of such a beautiful duet ❤ Incredible job on everyone's part!

My wife totally is requesting I'm not ok, by mcr

GERARD WAY NEEDS TO SEE THIS RN

Keeping with MCR, either "I'm Not Okay", or "Famous Last Words"

the intro sounds like an ending, the main body of the song sounds like an opening

I'm Japanese and loving MCR. This song is like a bible of my life. I often watched original MV, but I didn't think that I want to try to translate it in Japanese context. Because of your cover, I could get another impression to this song, so I'm about to cry. Thank you for covering this song! "山あり 谷あり 何があっても あなたがいなくなっても 生きるよ、生きるよ" This part is my favorite.🤘

Brb, trying to imagine what type of anime would even deserve this as an intro

“Dear Maria Count Me In” should be the next one for sure!

THIS COVER GOES UNGODLY HARD.

The vocal delivery on "koware" at 3:10 is HEAVENLY

This hits after that final arc in the season, another villain pops up because the previous one was defeated by the mc but loses his mentor in the process, hence the mc travels the world for training

Not me tearing up and getting verklempt. High school me would've loved this way back in 2007. God I miss music like this being on the radio.

Grab the eyeliner, black clothes and energy drinks! Grab the death note manga and swoop your bangs, it's Japanese emo time No seriously this slaps

Everyone's talking MHA, but all I can think of is Dragonball right now. Rest in peace, Toriyama-san.

Thank you for pairing with Caleb. He is such an underrated singer here on RU-vid with such an amazing voice! This is such a blessing to my ears and what a bop, as always!

VISUAL KEI ISNT DEAD -- CALEB AND BRANDON BROUGHT IT BACK XD

This would have been a Naruto opening that we all went CRAZY for in 2007

In the end linkin park

I always imagined this as an opening for Fullmetal Alchemist back in high school, thanks for making feel real, for just a bit

😭 my life is complete

I'm curious to hear how Mama by MCR would sound in Japanese, it would make my inner weeb and goth teen so happy

0:00-1:47 is the Anime ED for last episode with credits 1:48 to end is the Anime Full OP

God I don’t use my account on here for much but I clicked on it almost instantly before even seeing the title. I saw black parade outfit so I clicked. This was awesome. I have a suggestion or three if we’re still talking MCR. Helena. Sing. Teenagers. The Kids from Yesterday. Sorry that’s four I guess but this made my day so thank you.

I swear Caleb is in every fourth cover that has something to do with anime, a cool game, or a movie

we need a MCR anime with this as the closing song or the opening for season 2 or 3

I desperately want this to actually be used as an OP

The first part of the song is the ending and the faster beat is the opening and the course and second verse only happen DURING the anime at pivotal points.

Somewhat ironically, the first part of Welcome to the Black Parade is perfect for an anime ED but not an OP, while the last two thirds of Welcome to the Black Parade is perfect for an anime OP but not ED. I'm just trying to think of which anime that combination would fit best. Probably not Black Clover, Black Butler, Black Bullet, Death Parade etc. lol

I rarely listen to covers that change the language entirely, but this song may change me a lot from now on. Thank you for opening my eyes.

One of the best covers ever It fits with a lot of anime openings so well

Vampire Heart by HIM could be a fun anime intro, and HIM song really.

Interesting fact about this song - Brandon wrote this song when he was a young boy when his family was living in Tokyo. He was in town to see a parade when he saw a stray dog also watching from the streets. As a young boy, he was naturally curious of the shaggy but still happy Shiba Inu. They quickly became friends, meeting everyday. Brandon would name the dog "Di-oh-ji". Sometimes the dog would be beaten by the kids on the streets, Brandon would take care of di-oh-ji. The kids would mock Brandon for touching and caring for a stray that no one wanted. Brandon's parents wouldn't let the dog inside their house so all brandon could do was take care of the dog outside of their home. Over the years, their friendship strengthened but the dog continued to live on the street, still getting abused when Brandon was in school. A decade has passed, the dog is gone but the memory of Di-oh-ji will carry on inside Brandon and this song.

Came to listen to the full song from Instagram. Awesome. This deserves a lot more attention. I know a little bit of japanese, it was cool to realise you have translated the lyrics itself which I know is a pretty difficult task.

When I was a young boy My father took me into the city To see a marching band He said, "Son, when you grow up Would you be the savior of the broken The beaten and the damned?" He said, "Will you defeat them? Your demons, and all the non-believers The plans that they have made?" "Because one day, I'll leave you a phantom To lead you in the summer To join the black parade" When I was a young boy My father took me into the city To see a marching band He said, "Son, when you grow up Would you be the savior of the broken The beaten and the damned?" Sometimes I get the feelin' She's watchin' over me And other times I feel like I should go And through it all, the rise and fall The bodies in the streets And when you're gone, we want you all to know We'll carry on, we'll carry on And though you're dead and gone, believe me Your memory will carry on We'll carry on And in my heart, I can't contain it The anthem won't explain it A world that sends you reelin' From decimated dreams Your misery and hate will kill us all So paint it black and take it back Let's shout it loud and clear Defiant to the end, we hear the call To carry on, we'll carry on And though you're dead and gone, believe me Your memory will carry on We'll carry on And though you're broken and defeated Your weary widow marches On and on, we carry through the fears Oh, ah, ha Disappointed faces of your peers Oh, ah, ha Take a look at me, 'cause I could not care at all Do or die, you'll never make me Because the world will never take my heart Go and try, you'll never break me We want it all, we wanna play this part I won't explain or say I'm sorry I'm unashamed, I'm gonna show my scars Give a cheer for all the broken Listen here, because it's who we are Just a man, I'm not a hero Just a boy, who had to sing this song Just a man, I'm not a hero I don't care We'll carry on, we'll carry on And though you're dead and gone, believe me Your memory will carry on You'll carry on And though you're broken and defeated Your weary widow marches, oh Do or die, you'll never make me Because the world will never take my heart Go and try, you'll never break me We want it all, we wanna play this part (we'll carry on) Do or die, you'll never make me (we'll carry on) Because the world will never take my heart (we'll carry on) Go and try, you'll never break me (we'll carry on) We want it all, we wanna play this part (we'll carry on!

Something by Muse - maybe Supermassive Blackhole? 😊

My little japanese-obsessed, emo heart is so freaking happy right now!!! 🖤🖤🥹🥹😭😭🖤🖤 Thank you so much for this!!

This sounds perfect for FMA opening/ending

I literally need an anime series with this opening

Caleb's Japanese is beautiful!!! 👏 Such a nice tone! The lyrics are also very powerful and fit with the original lyrics! What a gem!❤

Well, I guess I just found my new loop song, you guys did such a fantastic job together!

How did not absolutely blow up?? This is beautiful omfg I'm actually obsessed holy crap.

need a music video

Is there romanised lyrics so I can sing along? Because this SLAPS ❤

One of very few covers that actually sound like an original song

Holy shit these vocals. This fcks

Because Brandon is Mafuyu's va, i really want someone to animate Given as MCR

*most darkest arc in anime history :

Wow.... But I expect the anime as the scene like your post at Instagram. Bravo!

English translation: [Brandon McInnis] (Intro) When I was a kid, with my father I was told when I saw the marching band, "Son, when you grow up, Be the savior of a broken person. Other than believers and the devil, I want them to win like that. Leave a vision someday, I'll lead you to the Black Parade." (Intro repeats) (Verse 1) I feel like I'm being watched Even when I think I have to go. There are mountains and valleys, no matter what happens, Even if you're gone (Chorus 1) I'll live, I'll live Even if you die Memories are I'll live, I'll live I can't keep it in my heart I can't even explain [Caleb Hyles] (Verse 2) I was staggered by the dream of death To be killed by suffering Then paint it black I'll scream for you I rebelled and in the end (Chorus 2) I'll live, I'll live Even if you die Memories are I'll live, I'll live He said it was broken and lost Keep walking [Brandon McInnis & Caleb Hyles] (Verse 3 / Bridge) Even in fear People around me are disappointed But I don't care It's impossible, absolutely I can't take it away, my heart Let me do it. I'll do everything. Don't apologize. There's no shame. I'm on your side That's us Because I'm not a hero Just a singing man Because I'm not a hero I don't know (Chorus 1 repeats) (Instrumental Outro)

As an American where Japanese is my second language (日本語は私の僕の言語です。), seeing my favorite childhood jams wrote in that language is a blessing and beautiful!

Ok. So I help run Main Events at Otakon. We need this played on the main stage…omg can we get the Sunrise Skater Kids and have an entire night of Japanese covers 😮

I love this version🖤

I love this so much! You combined two of my favorite things and made it sound epic, keep up the good work. 😁

As an elder emo and weeb this hits so hard! The translation is so good 😌

Yo my guy, this is 🔥 and deserves way more views! Well done!

Caleb be in all the best stuff 🎉

Growing up into anime and with this the anthem of my generation - this is the cover I never knew I needed. You guys crushed it! I'm here thanks to following Caleb on Spotify - I'm not sure I've ever slammed a subscribe button so fast! Keep up the amazing work!

THANK YOU SO MUCH

I really needed this today thanks this is really beautiful 🎉

sounds like something from Tokyo Ghoul just because of the pure intensity !!!

So this was the song you were talking about! I love it! Black Parade is an old favourite and this was refreshing 😊

why is this not exploding yet

LETS GOOO! delivering the best covers as always

So when is an animated music video happening?

Need more than this!!!

This is very awesome 🔥🔥 I'll wait for the next one

i love this it sounds so good!!

Amazing work!

It’s too damn good. BRANDON, WHY DID YOU MAKE IT SO GOOD?!

Killer production!

The way I SCREAMED when I got the notif!!!!

This is actually sick! Love it

I didn't know i needed this until i found it, this is awesome!!

So good, I would love to see more like this

This is amazing!

First time I heard Welcome to The Black Parade I thought that it would be a banger anime opening. Now I know that I was right. Awesome cover!

This is so epic, what the heck 😭❤️

just added this song on my spotify playlist, such a banger

Simply incredible!!

You absolutely nailed it Brandon! I can't even begin to say how happy hearing this. I always love your song covers and the smile hasn't left my face since I started listening to this. Thank you for continuing to be amazing 😁🤘🏼🖤💙💚

Nice work

The first time I heard this song, I thought it sounded like an anime opening. And here we are.

Take me back to Eden - Sleeptoken , I think that cover would be sooo sick. This was great!!!

why my heart feels so happy like? it's sooo good! sugoii

I think subconsciously I must have known I needed this. Thank You!

Awesome cover, guys!!!!✨👍✨

This is perfect, congratulations c:

THIS IS MAJESTIC

i''d like to see this, done with the song, smells like teen spirit, from nirvana and have an amine style video, that has something to do with high school synced with it.

Epic song!!!! Imagining Haikyuu with this song.. Start of the song showing each member with their own life or problems, like Hinata looking at little giant, Tobio standing alone while his old team mates in the background, etc.. in the end they starting to gather in the gym..

please make a karaoke out of this in romaji 😭😭😭🙏🙏🙏

THIS IS SOOO COOL! LOVE MCR!

So amazing love it

OMG Brandon!!! 🥰😍❤🖤 Sharing this with everyone I can! What an amazing cover. You two absolutely killed it! I will absolutely be playing this at full volume with the windows down on a Chicago highway while breaking at LEAST three traffic laws simultaneously. Epic Win. Much love to you, friend! 🤩
