Hanaregumi - Blackbird (The Beatles cover)

[playlistLikeA]

the graphics are sooo adorable as well.. Agree with sigurling, his accent and the way he sings it makes it unique and adorable..

[playlistLikeA]

adorable

[sigurling]

Agree, so cute and the accent makes it even more adorable, he should be proud!

[rorisune]

I wonder if my Japaneses sounds equally as silly. I like to think that the singer doesn't know any English, but was still moved by the song. (In reality, I'm sure he knows what it means)

[Smallandmegamighty]

Aweh. c: <3

[jollyshambles]

Take these broken wings and learn to fry! But seriously I enjoyed this :)

[welstijlfilms]

I published your film on the Dutch website welstijl.com (18 august 2011)

Kind regards Sem Mallee

[alaincitoow]

I want Rice now :) good cover.

[MrRustyLL]

love it

[redjeansclaire]

This is such a beautiful video. His accent makes the cover special and unique!

[hazykce]

cute cover =]

[LOAblue]

I think it sounds sweet, like the person singing it would be a sweet person

[cryinglightning95]

my god... this is amazing. makes me feel wonderful on the inside

[stxanstonz]

I absolutely adore this version, I think the pronunciation makes it all the more sweet!

[codyzulinski]

I don't think that anyone is necessarily "making fun" of his accent. It's just that it's very noticeable. I personally believe that the accent is what makes the cover so quaint and lovable.

[rythmnmethod]

TAKE THESE BROKEN WINGS AND LEARN TO FRY

[Popino09]

@rythmnmethod AH!

[rythmnmethod]

@Popino09 you were only waiting for this moment to alive

[Jessicake2]

[TeresaBB95]

[rampage134]

I thought he did the accent on purpose so it sounds good, because it does and I like it.

[skroobius]

take dese chicken wings and learn to fry!

[donedelacruz]

@skroobius itss "take these broken wings and learn to fly."

[skroobius]

@donedelacruz yeah it was a joke man..

[celomch]

The Asians are so talented! Everything they do, they do just fine!

[TheKhaiXiang]

Learn to FRY. Haha. Anyways, Great cover.

[JoeyPetrone]

He sings this song better than some Americans :) and I'm American (so, I guess that was un-American to say)

[toxikpaperdoll]

i love this :3

[thataonigiri]

Those people complaining about his accent probably don't know a single word besides english and also don't know how to find USA and Japan into a map.

[markuskoenig]

Excellent.

[sabryrey]

Sooo sweet!!!!

[alexo360]

"take this broken wing and learn to fry"

is this about fried chicken?

[Quailtooben]

[candidcomment]

Hanaregumi !! Sugoi geki!!!!!!! Great version .....its so close and personal ! It is supposed to be a delacte song that evokes the intimacy of a bird singing in the middle of the night!!! melody eminating from the black ink!...I wanna do an album with you!!! Beautiful!!!

[1995Sian]

i like this cover, despite hi accesnt, he sings the song well

[jellyfish2109]

It sounds SO cute :)

[MrFulvietto58]

e se questo nipponico avesse un tale sense of humour da dire fry al posto di fly come un giapponese che parla una lingua straniera al contrario di come lo straniero se l'aspetta? Meditate...

[buzz2498]

Taak tceese boken weeng an learn to fry.....

It is Fun!

[Elwood1967]

yu wa only waiteen fo dis momen to alive!

I think it's fun!

[hiro0724]

[Wiisal]

He sings it better than lots of people who don't have an accent.

[latenightlunging]

[THEJETSETRADIOMUSIC]

[HombreDon1]

Shut the hell up.

[HombreDon1]

[sensesfailrox187]

[eleaelearturoy]

ハナレグミ最高ｗ

[LainaDiane]

the accent makes it cute in a "makes me giggle" way. people cant control the way they speal and the song still sounds pretty

[hostclub17]

Fry..

[germanymauro]

un amor ♥ ♥

[thejackisback]

slightly annoying but also good,

idn, jsut the accents used.

fry, alive should be arrive.

[jibbajabba420]

learn to fry!

[gammaray0wn]

I can understand pronouncing r's as l's, but "broken wingSS" not "wing".

[boa4829]

dude good

[nothingtralalaa]

Best Blackbird cover. The accents cute, I love it ;)

[PinkAvy]

its just the same thing foreigners cant pronounce japanese correctly =]

he dosent sing for showing off his pronunciation.

its the "heart" he has and we can receive it from his singing.

i love it anyway.

ハナレグミ最高ｗ

[tsaosu]

Black bird fried!!

[doziros]

hermosooooooooooooooo

[utadalovegood]

aww! ;__; so cute!

[jackieewhackie]

Everyone's making a big deal on his pronunciation. You can't blame the dude, it's just his accent. The cover is still good nonetheless, it's not like he killed the song.

[hrailey1961]

I'm just messing with you guy! Good arrangement, better than my non-existent Japanese, It takes a lot of fortitude to give this a go. Good Job!

[hrailey1961]

I ain't never ate no fried blackbird, but I ain't got hungry enough, I will if it comes down to it, I heard it tastes like chicken

[vomo95]

wow dude speak english.

love the song....just not when u sing it..

[heyjude9996]

he has an accent, it's not his fault...

[willymartino]

Really Cool!! Unique and Beautiful : )

Amazing work!

[lookslikeu812]

Brack Bird Fry.

[beowulf0vg]

great cover and video. Maybe the pronunciation should be better

[crumblingtoast]

This is really cute

[kidsafe]

I love this version for obvious reasons.

[Hammerandoz666]

I really love this song...

The Beatles are the best in this world for 10000 of years

[thecolorblack3]

HAHAHAHA

[TobyKruit]

"You were only waiting for this moment to alise."

[faybeebaby69]

Arise*

[TobyKruit]

Yeah, but here it's sung as 'alise'.

[mattatood]

So fuckin wot!!!!!

[duovaderetro]

Buenas!

Somos un duo acustico de adolescentes, hacemos covers de the beatles, sui generis y demas bandas que andan por nuestra discoteca que nos han dejado algo. Intentamos mantener vivo el espiritu de la apresiacion cultural.

PASATE Y ESCUCHANOS!!

Un abrazo!

Vade Retro

[FUNNYFUDGER]

brackbird

[errortryagainplease]

i don't know, this cover its kinda cute (:

[adorkable]

The music video is really good but I can't get over the fact that he says 'fry' and 'alive' hahaha xD

[RoomOfMusic]

as soon as the singer started singing i started laughing my ass off you ow me new pants!

[TwilightZin]

I've watched this so many times that I think I finally understand it. At first I thought the animation was merely fanciful (birds, children, clouds) but I did wonder why the Japanese children were blond. Now I believe this video has the same civil-rights inference that Paul McCartney intended his song to have. At the end of this video, it would seem the blond children are enlightened by apples from the Tree of Knowledge? Something like that.

[Tobunshi]

Brackbird singing in the dead of night....take these broken wing and learn to fry....all your life...you were only waiting for this moment to alive....

[RoomOfMusic]

lmao!

[mantequillasonica]

beautiful!

[PanzyMistress]

I don't know what it is about Hanaregumi's voice, but I love it. I first fell in love with it when I got Super Butter Dog's grooblue album, then I discovered Ohana, and now I want everything he's ever done XD

Hanaregumi's voice just seems perfect for so many different genres! It's crazy! And hearing him perform a cover of one of my favorite songs of all time just made my day. Thank you for putting this up :D

[nefera53]

oh  do i love this cover !! and the video !delicious voice and images !! so fresh !

[TheEyeLinerBroadcast]

his accent makes the song seem that much more natural. it's supposed to be simple, to be beautiful, and the be free. and that is exactly what it is.

[ltxsmash]

okay, lets start off with the main stuff

com'mon, his english was not the best, we all know that

but i really liked this interpretation because it sounded so much like the original recording but yet it felt more serene and the artist had his original take on the song without changing the melody like most cover artists do

[graccha]

Beautiful!!

[drinkingcocacola]

totally agree with IFinishFirst. that is an awesome cover.

[IFinishedLast]

i cant help but be ashamed of the fact that many of these comments show a complete disregard for the song and only focus on his accent. this was the most beautiful cover of this song ive heard in quite a while.

grow up!

[drinkingcocacola]

i think his english is pretty good, and i also think that video is soo amazing, all the colors, the feelings, the sensations.

I always thought that was a sad song, but now i see it is not.

thimbs up!!

[bce5150]

I've taken Japanese for 6 years and EVERY japanese person I talk to giggles at my "cowboy" "TV announcer" accent... it's just natural! Don't turn it into some racism issue, it's all in good nature.

[jackieewhackie]

I'm Asian, and I'm pretty offended that everyone's poking fun at his accent.

This cover is absolutely amazing. Sure, he's no Paul McCartney, and sure, he doesn't pronounce things like Americans or anyone raised with English as their first language would, but it's still good.

You try singing in another language. He does a very good job, if you ask me.

[dopeylittleewok]

magnificent

[utube779]

Fantistic !

[lowlwifi]

why would he want to frie the black bird, haha :D

sounds so funny :)

[rockinviper09]

wow, that was the funniest thing ive eever heard

thanks for the laugh

[oliboy1234]

wow.

i love this.

its so reminiscent of all these childhood feelings.

[CMIRA]

niceee

[BigAndo21]

This has got to be the most immature batch of comments I have ever seen. Everything about this is beautiful, and you all focus on his Japanese accent. Not the art. Not his voice. Not the instruments. This is why other countries think Americans are cavemen.

[OZKAR123456]

not america... only usa dude

[BigAndo21]

@OZKAR123456

ha good point

[BigAndo21]

@solsaviour

There's no way I could, which is why I didn't say they were.

[GoddamnMYPstudent]

@BigAndo21 I agree with you. for some reason I enjoy Japanese accents 

[billisnowy]

Brack Bird to be fried. Yeah. Good music but the singer needs to stay in Liverpool for at least 5 years.

[mrshoneychurch]

wonderful!

[SivVicious]

"take these broken wings and learn to FRY"

lol, bless, i love this song, not as good as original thoughh, but still great :)

[ryanrocks277]

its not what i thought it was gonna be when i clicked on it,but your really talented

[herbertlongcock]

its yoko`s brother

[imakegreatvids]

you can't sing

[vampirbloodlust]

at 1:17 is the spikey box thing eating the cat?

[GetALifeKid]

That is a bear trap.

[braden147258]

It says takes these broken wing and learn to fry in the beginning. Otherwise it's an awsome video

[vampirbloodlust]

more like "take dees bloken ring and learn to fry"

lol but its cool. my mom has the same accent as this guy. i love this song.

[carloampuero]

haha... take these hot wings and learn to fry =)

[hubert12fingers]

huuhuhu uuhuhu uhuhuhuhuhuhu

[marqujud]

his accent makes the song more special.

[jds1231]

very good cover but i hope we aren't "frying" the black bird because then it wouldnt be "alive" lol

[marqujud]

lol your silly ...thanks for making me laugh.

but i think now im going to be hearing "fry" =P haha

[mhacymballs]

it sounds good, but the switching of the r's and l's bugs me still

[reachthebestcovers]

4 stars

[swing0the0heartache]

thank you. that made me happy <3

[veggieface]

very cute :]

[ymmitg]

FRY ! ! ! ha ha ha!!!!

[CrazyShredds]

lol i laughed at that part too

but it was still good :)

[auxiliarypatch]

Awesome cover, I love the additional instruments, the bass and flute sound fantastic. It's rare when a cover of Blackbird stays true to the original but manages to be unique at the same time. Awesome video too.

[loxkegz]

i actually think his voice is great. its not perfect but its soft and sounds like an accented version of the beatles one. theres a lot of japanese sounds in words i cant pronounce either ^_^;;

and the video is precious.

i thought it was great.

[R3V3NGE]

why does everyone hate this guy just because he has a asian accent?? I mean, i'm sure we would sound different if we tried singing in chinese or japanese.. The Beatles wanted peace and if we cant even be nice to someone singing their songs, then thats just stupid

[8Jouketje8]

lol he can't say R

you well only waiting fol thiis moment to alive XD

[lexbrittnay]

this is a cute video.

[magicmaniacs11]

poor birdy... hey pass the chicken...it is chicken right..

[ximenapevensie]

why frying the bird? ):

love the music

[20th]

Great cover!

LAN TO FRYYYY!!!

[SemiColonical]
