hi!! XD u actually sound pretty good. I'm really surprised! Good job! XD my only suggestion is that maybe at the beginning don't "vibrato" your voice as much (idk if you know that term, but its like wavering your voice) and also that when you sing "aenakutemo," it should sound more like "ah-nek-te-mo" :D great job though! u should continue to sing, hehe
you sound very sad... i can't stop but to hear the deep concern in your voice.. you did great~ i hope everything that bothered you that day came to at ease~ cheer up~ don't cry.. maybe i am wrong about this and i hope so. ^^ take it easy ok~
your voice is really good. are you signing up for the avex world audition? i really hope you are because i think you have a really good shot at winning.
pretty good, sounds like you should be standing,and sounds like you need a little more air. But, you probably know that. As the song goes on you get better though :), pretty good.
you're good! I can't believe that you're white! I thought you were Japanese! though your accent is a little funny! (not in rude way) anyways! you have an nice voice! you should try our for Australian Idol/American Idol or something!
dont listen to those haters. as another non asian fan of jpop i admire your effort. u sound great! plus u do a GREAT job for someone who never learnt japanese. that song is beautiful isnt it? have u seen the movie? kudos girl!
no constructive criticism for you! :D props your pronunciation is great but a little less great in a few placese but still above average. as for your voice itself, wonderful!!!!
I don't think you're lipsinging, you just don't want to show your face because you maybe want to be remembered and to be taken seriously by your voice, or that's my opinion
hahaha i definitely DONT lipsing. i didn't show my face at the time cuz i was younger so i was just being cautious about putting my face online... but thank you. =)
You did reeeally good! I love your voice. The original is still my favorite. But I would probably listen to yours over and over too. Nice job. (I was nervous at first lol)
thanks. but you know what, your comment only would've been like a million times better if you had actually had reason as to why it was bad. or you know, at least it would've been nice had you offered some sort of constructive criticism. so thanks, for being of no help, and just being rude.
=] really good. i do this on my own all the time lol you're so brave to put this on here...i cant speak japanese but i absolutely love EVERYTHING about japan lol.
Good job, but try recording in higher-quality video or uploading at a higher quality or both. Perhaps work on pronunciation a bit. lol it was mostly good, though.
Ha ha, this is excellent! I think one good point you have is your voice is strong. You took a soft song and sang it and a higher stronger level and still made it sound good. Pronounciation was off, but it was hard to notice. I hope to see more from you in the future! ^^ Good luck~!!
thanks. =) it took me a really long time to figure out how to sing those parts. but what i did was broke it down syllable by syllable and said it slowly so i knew how to say it. then i just sped up until i got it. =) it just takes practice.
Good voice...pronunciation is a bit off...but other than that...pretty good. I give you major points though for singing it without even speaking the language, that's pretty impressive.
I think your vouce was very beautiful! But no offense but Asians like me sing this song better because we know the right pronunciation but please don't be mad at me because I just think about your pronunciation but your voice was really beautiful! Just like the 'kono ko ueun', you said 'kono ko u-e-un' but it should be continuous like 'kono ko uwe-un' not 'u-e-un' and that was advice not criticism, ok? I Like your voice ^^
aww lol none taken. thanks a lot. i really like hearing stuff like this. its so interesting, plus like, one day i wanna try in get fluent in japanese (im thinking i wanna do linguistics) so its really good to know this stuff. THANKS =D
Your pronunciation is great!I enjoyed listening to your singing.I love the song~ It's interesting to hear someone singing it lower,not in Otsuka's voice.Nice!
that was really good... better than what i do! I just sing the song and i have no idea what the words are, but the song is sooo sweet!!!!!! Great job!!!
First, I wanna point out great holding skill and vibrato!! I especially liked your way to sing it the chorus through bridge around 2:50. The way that you built it up was really emotional and strong...I love it! :-)
oh and the craziest thing is that you were chilaxing on chair to sing this song for whole time. I'm impressed!!
Improve the Japanese, and you sounded nervous at the beginning. . And I believe whenever you messed up a bit you sounded nervous again. But overall I liked it. (:
love it. && i actually browsed for this song coz im watching a japanese series movie called hana yori dango & this song is one of its theme songs. u shud check it out.+DD
I didn't say it was bad but it's sorta like listening to a German person trying to sing English or French with no prior expierence. The words don't sound like actual words. It's probably good for being sang by a non-Japanese speaker. Overall, I think you sang in way too high of a pitch for the song though. Even Ai Otsuka doesn't sing it that high. The pitch was kinda distracting.
hahah no i know you didn't say it was bad, i mean, it was implied, but its cool. lol. actually, i speak english. haha. thats my first language. haha. sooo...i dont really know what to say except thanks for the feedback.
I didn't mean to imply it was bad. It's just that you can't sing a Japanese song the same way you sing a Japanese song. The pitches, inflections and styles are completely different hence causing the accent. You just have to practice the tones and eventually the accent will fade to a degree. I'm guessing you got the lyrics in Romaji form and it's really easy to read Romaji as if you were reading English. You just have to catch yourself. :)
if you didnt say that u were white i would hav thought you were azn cuz u sing jap so wel
