『rockleetist 』 Double Lariat (English)

[MarioMatt19]

This really speaks to me cause I wanna be a baker when I get older. I'm not that great yet, but I love it and I'm gonna keep trying! ^-^

[GoofyPinkFlamingo]

*claps*

[nevvergivveuphope]

This is me and my situation with Jazz Band. I just started playing the saxophone and I literally suck, but I keep trying...well...I dunno where I am going with this...>.>

[Miafourtheworld]

[SuperGordon1990]

LOVE IIIIIT!!! ^(^_^)^

[resielP]

this is so cuuuuteee XD

he succeeded in his high dream but then, he was more happy in where he started so he chooses to be that simple guy with his loved ones TwT

[Razorbladez180200]

What I should be thinking about: "What a sad song...."

What I am thinking about: "KITTY!"

[JeaanaGoMew]

*sing

[JeaanaGoMew]

I didn't gve up trying to sing thissong, and I can ALMOST see it ;D

[puffleissocute]

what are they spinning?

[HetaFanForever]

@puffleissocute Omelets i think...

[angelic4719]

@HetaFanForever it looks like fried rice to me since that one frame where it shows the kitty holding the pan with a big piece of meat on it c:

[clarisse261]

hey your great!

[Ellchan121]

I'm spinnin', Dey Hatin'.

Sorry, couldn't resist. Great cover :) <3

[SkittyIsSuperAwesome]

When I first listened to this song, I read the comments and noticed how everyone had their own ideas on what this song was about except for me. I just saw this video...Kitties flipping omelets...xDD

[ChibiAnimeQTPie]

1:27... THE EIFFEL TOWER!! PARIS!! 8DDD

[melissafff]

"just keeping trying and you'll get there, but don't forget your passion" that's what it means to me(simplified anyway)

[DarkRY1211]

Just keep spinnin'

Just keep spinnin'

spinnin'

spinnin'

spinnin~

[mylestoby2]

the radius of the earth is about 6300 kilometers and is tilted at 23.8 degrees. just some not so random knowledge for you :)

[Ninjanico97]

No matter what you can't do,whether it's dancing,singing,etc,as long as you keep praticing you'll eventually get good at it.

[Ninjanico97]

I love the song! but what exactly is a Lariat,or a Double Lariat?

[BlackMoonLuka]

This song is amazing! So amazing that I've deicide (Since I am a author) to make the lyrics of this song into one about writing fanfiction and original piece, and sing it~!

Thank you again rockleetist for creating something so amazing that its inspired me to sing and upload it ; ;

[LikeSugarHigh101]

I absolutely love this song! I wanna cry every time I hear it. It's totally me at the moment, at 85 centimeters. I love the pictures you used to draw them?

[CutesyKitten869]

you have a very good voice, I think you're extremely talented :)

[LikeSugarHigh101]

OMIGOD! I love this video! It's so cute and touching!!! And your voice is beautiful!!! Excellent job!!!!!!!!

[raychel101097]

I hate it when people say stupid people must of accidently hit dislike.......cause in this case I actually did TT____TT

SOMEONE PRESS LIKE FOR ME!!!!!

[LeoniaPotter]

@raychel101097 i pressed like for u!

[raychel101097]

@LeoniaPotter THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!

*sigh* i guess i should wear my glasses more :P

[xXStarCassXx]

This song is so inspirational ;w; Now I know I can't give up, and i'll try harder on my drawing :) So then one day, I can share my talent and help others :D

[stoneheart0007]

The meaning I see in this song, is simple. Never stop trying with what you believe in, and eventually you'll be able to succeed even more-so than all your friends because you never stopped, and you never stopped trying. Because of this song, it's easy to find a reason to keep going, because you want people to see how great you are, and you want to prove yourself. Again, never give up on your dreams. Keep chasing them and eventually you'll complete them.

[ThornHeart101]

I have a story like this,my friends were all better at drawing then me,they were always better,but now I'm doing really well at drawing,and I'm helping my friend's little brother,I saw I left my heart when I saw my first sketchbook,but the drawings were really cute to begin with,so I went back drawing in my old style,and it looks good :)

[stoneheart0007]

Well, guys, I have a story to share that relates to this. I used to be horrible at gaming. I couldn't kill anyone in COD and stuff like that while all my buddies were going on killing sprees and laughing. But I never gave up. I kept training, spinning as it was in this video, getting better. One day, three kills in a game. The next, five. The next day, six. Then eight. Ten. I finally surpassed them, and now I'm helping someone else like in this video. NEVER GIVE UP ON YOUR DREAMS PEOPLE! EVER!

[Ringworm1281]

@stoneheart0007 Reminds me of when I was a little kid and I couldn't even get though Super Smash Bros Melee on normal mode. And when I would verse my brother I would be creamed but now I am entering tournaments for SSBB and I can pwn my brother.

[10me20]

1:15 i was like

AWWW! He caught it :D

[sasuke0491]

...I still dont understand what this song is about...but i love it

[AkAneChAn018]

@sasuke0491 i think it means never give up on what you love to do :)

[vocastones]

I just realized, about uploading my Project Diva vids. I'm recording them because I'm having fun, and not to compete from anyone else... I'll just go upload them even if their EXTREMEs are at "STANDARD" grade

[cryedoll]

the cat's making omelets o__o cute

[chudliegh123]

<3 this ver of the song!!!~~~ [better then luca!] 

[LeoniaPotter]

@chudliegh123 Luka*

[Nonjato]

we dare someone to read the japanese lyrics and sing it and post it

[KuuMatsuri]

just add a huge piece of ham to a dish and you can get a lot of people to notice you. SMART!

[xLOveLeexXx]

oh my gosh... at first i did NOT understand the song whatsoever, but now i think i understand the meaning of.. oh, well i think i do. LOL. this was AWESOME! :D awww, sooo cuuute.

[goridesuyoda]

━━━(ﾟ∀ﾟ)━━━!!

[HanaTenshiHimeko]

All I have to say, you'ved nailed it. d(^_^)b

[meloveknit]

I can't not cry when I sing this song.

[shastagirl245]

Awwww~!!!!

[XxKeybladeMasterxX]

This song always gets me...

[Yuxsxr]

Can I have you cat I'll always stand by you :3

[pokemonskyfancat]

Thats soooo cute! X3

[bumnumbum]

Great interpretation! Congratulations! I was wondering if there's any good interpretations for this song. I think you did a great job capturing the essence of the Japanese lyrics while maintaining the English coherence. You know, translation is one thing, interpreting a poem (lyrics) is another. Thanks very much for your great work!

[ardhagp]

i love your song....

[sofitssofi]

as the song goes on the sentimetres go higher and higher. I always wondered why they went to 85 again...now i do

[MemyxOfTheOrange]

This by far is the best dub I've ever heard for this song. C: Great job. 

[inuyakino]

I dun get it... What is swinging and cooking have to do with anything

[ZianaHP]

@inuyakino Nothing Much its just an Example of Striving to Succeed. That's What I Think Anyways.

[937olter]

finally lyrics that rhyme and are really good.

[Luckystarville]

Beautiful!!!~

[avalongal316]

... Omelet making cats?

I get the dreaming part and all that, but... cats?

[SakuPyonChan]

@avalongal316 I think it's supposed to be rice

[avalongal316]

@SakuPyonChan But, why....?

[SakuPyonChan]

@avalongal316 What do you mean why? o A o;

[avalongal316]

@SakuPyonChan Why are cat's making rice...? This is No Logic~!

[SakuPyonChan]

@avalongal316 Hm..MAYBE CATS LIKE RICE? 8D;

[avalongal316]

@SakuPyonChan Somehow I doubt that. ^^;

[SakuPyonChan]

@avalongal316 ...It was a joke = A =;;

[avalongal316]

@SakuPyonChan *shrugs* My usual sense of humor was off.

[goridesuyoda]

[BlackRedDragon7]

rockleetist is singing about spinning...

and the cat with the frying pan is making an ommelette? O.e?

[katie4kittens]

@BlackRedDragon7 its about trying to make your dream come true as a child and then when you grow up, you seem to forget about it. And then you realize that you worked so hard for nothing. the song is kinda sad once you know what it's about :(

[BlackRedDragon7]

@katie4kittens aw :'( that is sad...

[TechnicolorAlice]

i may be wrong but were your mic setings wierd when you did this cause sometimes it sounds like it was too loud and it kinda sounds shaky( mostly on the really high parts, which are insanely high btwXD) . regardless i love your dub and if it was just a mic problem you should definitely rerecord

[lenxlover1]

honestly I hate rockleetist, but I cant find any video of the enlish that I cant actually hear them...

[Terra89]

I was wondering if it would be okay to make an AMV with this song/your version of this song? Or maybe any of your songs if that's okay? But this is the one I'd really love to make an AMV out of. ^_^

[cutelady654backup]

@Terra89 u can use it if you download and give credit

[XxAlelokkxX]

Beautiful!

[chloep231]

Awesome!!!! :3

[SuperSwiftheart]

ok i saw a flipnote of this on my dsi after i heard this.AND FOR 3 WEEKS I COMPLETELY OBSESSED OVER ME TRYING TO REMEMBER THE NAME OF THIS SONG!!!

[AnimeFan102030]

Love it! It made me smile I first saw it!!

[kista000]

while the singing is alright ( although a little too high ) The chosen lyrics are from the worst interpretation of this song.

[lizthepanther]

@kista000 You're entitled to your own opinion, of course, but I have to disagree with you. In an English Dub, you have to choose lyrics based more on how it fits the song. Since Japanese words have a different flow, it's difficult to create lyrics that keep the original meaning and still fit the beat, tempo, etc. But even so, I think Rockleetist did a really good job here. They may not be exact, but they still fit the song and get across the meaning.

[BobwithHenry]

@lizthepanther Agreed, though I would like to add one little comment.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder (or rather, ear), is it not? There is always more than one lesson you can take from a song. Music is an art- everyone can receive a slightly different message from it, and that is part of what makes it so wonderful.

[vile13astard]

Is there any photos or videos where ROCKLEETIST herself is featured? What does she look like?I am new and instant fan!

[XxKittyxGirlxX]

I think she should do a cover of No thank you....the one by miku, not the one from K-on....though i like k-on so i guess either would be cool ^____^

[garyshaunter280zx]

i use to love neko's dubbed songs but wow yours are sooo much more comfortable to listen too

keep up the good work you have a new today XD

[Pandalove776]

i will never get tire of this, is too cute

[GiniPhobiac]

I actually cried at this song.

Amazing job! ;___; ♥

[ThePolimon]

@GiniPhobiac me too!

it is really touching isn't it?

[TheHalliwell666]

@GiniPhobiac dont feel bad. i do too. I can relate to this son all the time.

[JeaanaGoMew]

toooo high ;w;

[Fullmetalbrotherhoo1]

I love ur voice. And this is cute!

[hea4123]

(´・ω・`)

[mikotouchihaXD]

insanity by miki?

[animangalover23]

u think i can use the lyrics???

[AuskaNeumaki]

I always say this song has the main Cat is trying to have like a job has chef or something and he's trying his hardest to go off but everyone else around him is doing better. And then finally the cat opens his shop he gets customers then the machines come and instead of refusing them and he accepts and becomes this huge CEO of this buissness but he realizes he never wanted a big job and realizes he just wanted to be a simple chef

[sonamy3]

This is my favorite version of the song! This is so encouraging! Do you think you could do this - watch?v=AJkOJElVw_8 ?

[sonamy3]

@Reno750 do you really think this is Luka?

[JeaanaGoMew]

High notes....*dies*

[RhythmParadise1]

Hey! Nice work! You have a nice voice! Hmm, i suppose the story here is a bit different from the original, but I guess its hard to sing the original translation. Heh, I like this new story though! Cute pictures! This is my favorite song, and it still is~ Now I can sing two different versions! (^_^)

[XzorinTsara]

I like a lot of things about this.. The video, your voice.. the only thing I don't like so much is that the lyrics seem to have been translated incorrectly. Most of the subs I've seen, including the original author's, seem to point to the song being about Luka spinning and eventually spinning so fast and high that she ends up in space. (23.4 degrees is the tilt of the Earth's axis, 6300km is the radius of the earth.. etc). I know it seems silly, but eh. Otherwise, great job ^_^

[SleepingEntity]

@XzorinTsara Most people interpret this song metaphorically. The cosmic figures are supposed to represent reaching out across the world.

[perpetual96]

@Reno750 It isn't sang by Luka..

[goridesuyoda]

すばらしい　本当に感動した

[frozenpanorama]

19 people don't like spinning...

[24mat1]

I love you for doing this song! My Favorite song from luka :D

[meeperize]

What i think the song means:

She always tried her best to make the best food with her pan but one time fell and saw her friends cooking and swinging their pans higher and better than her. She stopped trying her best and tried to do better than them and each day got better. She eventually owns her own company where machines do the cooking not her She looks out her window and sees someone doing what she used to and remembered when she used to cook then went back to the beginning and cooked

[chalreskim0623]

Do you think i could use these lyrics

Don't worry i'll give you credit

[chii365]

i cried 2 times while hearing this.

[ThePolimon]

@chii365 same here

[Fupreme]

oAo I love the way you sing "I'll never swing that high!" >w<

[PrincesssSammy]

seeing a sad kitty is making me sad ;A;

[Chbi0Chip]

KITTIES FLIPPING OMLETS *Q *

[vocaloidd0suchan]

19 people don't care that they left their hearts on the ground

[worst700]

初心を忘れるな、と言う事だね

[VocaloidFan98]

Hello! I like your voice very much. Its cute and it fits this song. Thank you!

[SoraStalker]

Even before i read the translation of the song, Luka's version used to ALWAYS make me tear up and i had no idea why. Hearing your version of this song, it's just amazing and invokes the same feelings i get listening to the original. Wonderful job, and thank you!

[falingleaf]

Judging from the video...This song is based on cooking and flipping fried rice

[AppleSider1]

@falingleaf that's fried rice? ._. I thought it was an omelet.....

[ThePolimon]

@falingleaf it is a metaphor for going through life and seeing how others see you as a individual with your goals

[MrTrojis]

Who wrote the english lyrics for this version? They are very well written and preserve the sound of the original while still having such a deep meaning.

[sexyyaoirules]

@MrTrojis Rockleetist did, she writes nearly all of her dubbed songs. Well, I should say, she translates them. Obviously she gets help but for the most part, she does it herself. If you check her channel, it says that she does.

[XxHikariKyaaxX]

JGIEGJIFGJKFKFODK I LOVE YOU.

[fdwv]

it's not 'swing', it's 'SPIN'

total different things....

[Zlaea]

@fdwv And you're not 'smart', you're a 'troll'.

Total different things...

[Luna1Yumi]

@fdwv hello? look at the goddam preview. i'd like to see you spin your pan while frying rice. place ur phone next to you btw.

[VocaloidShinigami]

This... is great. Truly awesome. I love your voice!!!

[moryazure]

Men, I just love double lariat. Song of my life now, though.

[indiagirl75]

Why does everyone else's dub suck since I started listening to your? :3

[Chala112]

Can you make an english dub of delusion sketch by Miku Hatsune? Ive looked but i can find one! Please please please!?

[CHIUIAIA]

Srry, could you remake Double Scarlet? Please?

[XxKeybladeMasterxX]

@CHIUIAIA You can just play Double Scarlet with this song on and Double Scarlet muted. It'll be the same thing.

[CHIUIAIA]

@XxKeybladeMasterxX Really? I'll have to try that...

[CHIUIAIA]

@XxKeybladeMasterxX just tried it...took 3 tries to get it to sync correctly but i did and it was awesome! thank you!

[XxKeybladeMasterxX]

@CHIUIAIA You're welcome. I just tried it for fun, and I'm surprised at how perfectly it syncs with the video.

[CHIUIAIA]

Can someone remake Double Scarlet with these Vocals?

[SakoyoAragoni]

I watched this when you first dubbed it and loved it, but now for some reason I can't stop listening to it. I should be going to sleep, but I am contained in a loop of listening, it's so beautifully done with such a cute message.

[sweet9angel4lena]

This song is so addicting, especially with rockleetist's voice :3

[yellowballooner]

beautiful! why not try adding some dynamics?

[ThePolimon]

i almost cried when i fullscreened this and focused

[Julius0108]

I love this song and i think she is singing about rope swinging like cowboys since lariat means the rope in a form of lasso LOL 6300KM that big LOL

[houndoomrulz]

@Julius0108 No no, that's not what she means. Swinging in this case is a persons' life.

[UltimateFanKohaku]

I love this song in Japanese, but the English makes me finally understand what it's about ; ^ ;

[Piccadally]

You should try covering goodbye to Alice by gumi

[Piccadally]

I'm in Aw, really. This was amazing. Sometimes it's SO hard finding good fan dubs and you sang it beautifully.

[funny0anime0lover]

You need to sing '1/6' by Miku~!

[BlindProphetessArts]

Hope you dont mind I used this for a university project :)

Its such a beautiful version of the song. I always look forwards to your posts.

[SAILORSCOUTS7654321]

Wow!! Almost 1,000,000 views!!

[wsohi]

holy cow... one of the best [utau]s I've ever heard!

[JenniNoji]

@wsohi This isn't a utau. This is a person singing...

[xRAINxOFxBLOODx]

Lol, he was doing bad until he put a ginormous hunk of meat on top. XD

[adrianastro1]

U sound just like Luka :3

[KennSan]

Everyone has their own interpretation of this song but this is mine: You see everyone around you doing better than yourself, but you don't give up and keep trying and trying because you don't want to give in, but when you actually try hard enough that you actually make it to the top, was it actually for the sake of doing well, or for the sake of everyone who seemed to be doing better? In short: Do what you want to do, not try and base your own goals based on anyone else's success or shortcomings

[mikechan15]

I'm kinda confused, what's this song about and what does double lariat mean?

[iceshowdow6]

@mikechan15 it is about a cat who has a dream of making fried rice but he needs to flip the rice but he always fails when he became rich he said i do not want this kind of life so yea and u get the rest

[edtrin175]

@mikechan15 Well I'm not sure of the specific meaning of double lariat, but I think it has to do with spinning, because that's what the original song had.

As for you're other question, I saw someone else answered it :P

[iceshowdow6]

like this if u think the kitty is cute <3

[pattlucido]

I don't understand why this song always makes me cry...

When I heard this, gosh, tears just came pouring out. :(

YOU ARE AMAZING!

[Xenno98]

OMG LOVE IT xD

[geyonsis23]

please oh please sing nico nico douga's song called "SMILING" >u<

[Reddanasos]

SWINGING RICE GETS U FAMOUS? ALRIGHT ITS TIME TO START PRACTICING MY RICE SWINGING SKILLS! >_<

[LoveTheSunAndMoon]

in the end the little guy thought "Swinging is not my thing."

[kristinashin]

im such a fan of you!!! u rock

[celestialdreams31]

Haha, great job singing it in english, although i feel a little strange since I used to hear the japanese version all the time

But still, it is a really great cover =)

[quinnece]

i hope its okay if i use your lyrics i promise ill credit you! ^-^ by the way the was hecka awesome!!!

[houndoomrulz]

This is amazing!

You're pitch-perfect the entire way through and it's an absolute joy to listen to.

Hey, if it's okay with you, can I use this version in my own Double Lariat PV? I'll give you full credit for the song, it's just far more fitting and beautiful than the Japanese version, imo :3

[RieokoKibi]

this song if someone else sang it the song would not sound as good plus you figured out the differnt parts

[FanGirlingFawn]

Rockleetist you rock and sing so very well. I bet you, if you wanted to, could become a great singer and I am pretty sure all these people (plus I) would help support you. You Shine so great :3

[Torineshu13]

The cat is ssoooOOOSOooOO cute..0o0

oh sorry.. but very very good job! im a fan (^_^)

And i also take pity on little kitty cat TT - TT dun worry, I'll eat your fried rice!!!

[animefangirlkeiko]

This is adorable! But can someone please explain the premise behind flipping fried rice? Is that how it's cooked?

[ririri009]

13 people cant swing fried rice at 6300 km

[TriAnna42]

13 people have no dreams.
