I kind of like their singing, though the song doesn't sound like Sukiyaki, but gospel. If they get trained and sophisticated, they will be very good impressive singers.
And maybe you should have described their song as "English gospel version", as this is not what you expect to see when you search for "Sukiyaki (English version)".
Anyway, they sing much better than most of us Japanese.^^ (I'm Japanese.)
This video reminds me from the movie Rush Hour II when the Asian guy was singing an awful version of Michael jackson's "Dont stop till you get enough" and ChrisTucker was saying,,, BOOOOOO "The Man is Destroying a Classic! LOL!! Pratice u2, get some soul in your vocals feel dat ish! Good Luck!
Hey guys, don't let the haters steal your joy. Their ears are used to professionals who recorded songs with the latest gear in studio. You sang from your heart...maybe the performance wasn't absolutely stellar, but it was VERY good and no doubt a better job than the morons who throw stones. These are the same people who sit on their butts, watch TV football, and yell at the players like THEY COULD HAVE DONE BETTER.! :-)
You're all probably very bad singers or you're some of the dicks who post their cover songs on youtube trying to get someone to actually pay attention to you.
Mr. Sakamoto will be turning in his grave,this is bloody awful Give up sining and go back to what ever you were doing before,or better sill audition for the X-Factor,you'd go far.
Thanks for the reply CodyYaj.I adore this song and it is a total disgrace to Mr.Sakamoto's name.The mans was superb so tslented and so underated.R.I.P. Mr. Sakamoto.
82 artist have covered this song "A Taste of Honeys" Janice Marie Johnson wrote the english version. when she translated the lyrics into English, she found out that the lyrics could be interpreted in three ways: as a man on his way to his execution, someone trying to be optimistic despite life's trials, or as the story of an ended love affair. "Me being the hopeless romantic that I am," she explained, "I decided to write about a love gone bad. A Taste of Honey, was very popular in Japan.

not even close to even the original translation.this is it partial: '' i look up as i walk so that the tears wont fall. remembering those spring days but now im all alone this night
ok... 6.8 / 10 the way he said "haunting"...man...it woz like all fuked up... n the end part dragged on 4 like....fuken ages...i know.....im a sad kunt leavin h8 mail on YT....blow me!!!
There nothing like the japanese lyrics. The original talks about him walking with his head upwards through the different seasons. the original title was "Ue O Muite Aruko" which means "i look up when i walk". And the melody you 2 are singing is only vaguely similar to Kyu's song. Change the name of the vid. Not on that
Ryguy786: I agree wholeheartedly with you. I've never understood why artists attempt to re-make classics, be they a film or a song. What in the hell could possibly be added to a work that is already perfect? To do so is nothing more or less than blasphemy.
Not bad but i do agree with a few others. it is better in japanese...not bad at all. They need at least the back round music. then it would be pretty good. let me know if they do it with the music. thanks
you're wishing that trish had the talent to have written this song. it is written by rokusuke ei and hachidai nakamura and sanged by kyu sakamoto in 1961.
Must be all your friend's comments. This is really rank amateur/beginner. You lose the melody and tune. How the hell can people clap to this song? Welcome to the back-slapping mutual appreciation society.
It is not a case of what others put on to YouTube. You put yours on so expect comments. It is a very poor performance: the guy has a monotone and you only harmonise on about one note. Seriously take a look at yourselves and perform it away from your social circle - see what response you get then.
Ah ScooterZn, it's criticise, not critique - you pretentious twat.
How much any other person that's commented about them has posted themselves is academic - these are just two awful singers, who should expect criticism for offering such rubbish as song. The adverse comments are about their bad voices, not their right to post. Perhaps, out of interest, you could point us to some of you vocal masterpieces, so we can compare........
