Woah. It's so different from Jade's, the meaning of the lyrics, I mean. I have to say... I like this one more. Everything about it. And who cares if her English isn't perfect, who would really EXPECT it to be? Hell, she's JAPANESE. Even native English speakers rarely use "perfect" English. This song is beautiful no matter what. <3
Surprising myself, but I actually liked this. And I know it's far from perfect, but still I like this. Of course, it makes more sense in its original language, but Japanese-style English is...interesting to me, at least.
I can see DBSK covering this song though the japanese version. Koda Kumi's english version is surely better than Jade Valerie Villalon. No offense to people who like that version of the song
uggggggh this is a nightmare.... i love her voice in this english version, enough to tolerate the slight engrish. but the lyrics are horrible and don't fit with the music at all...
i like this one more than jade's cuz koda is the original singer for this song and it's just better! jade's version, it was kinda weird like the way she sang 'what can i do for you' in the beginning?!?! (maybe a slightly diff key?) also, koda's english is actually pretty good, i can understand what she's singing without looking at the lyrics. Square Enix should've just use this for the NA version of X-2!
Even though people complain that her English isn't great...I have to say that I love this verison a little more then Jade's. I think Jade's could have been good...but it has a generic sound that lacks the polished,recorded version of Koda's has.
Her English is pretty good in this one. It was 1000 words that it was a little difficult to make out what she said; she is a great singer and I love her version of Real Emotion. ;)
Actually, what I hear is "I don't ever wanna lose this bon" I put bon 'cause like you say, Miss Kumi is Japanese so she says things differently than we do, so in reality it's bond. But that's the way I hear it.
I like this version so much better than Jade's version. Much more mature in voice and tone. Plus, "It's real emotion shakin up the world, I'll never give it up" sounds so much better than "and though, I know, the world of real emotions has surrounded me". It just flows better both lyrically and musically, at least to me.
i love this (i dit this on my ps3 )

They should've used this on the US release of X-2. Something in the game I wouldn't complain about. That is like finding the holy grail.

hmm i never really count it..
searching picts - 1 hour / more
choosing picts based on lyric - 1 hour
put lyric on the pic - this sure takes quite long..choosing font, type, size etc :p
make them into movie with movie maker - around 3 hours usually..
i jut do it for fun :p
that's why i don't make new ones quickly..
sometimes i got too bored..lol

It's "everday is a way" not "and there is" and "since our bond in strong" because you can actually hear her say bond.
I love the part at 2:56.

i search them :)
and in the sites it's written like that~
but i think it's "and there is" haha
but i dunno about 'bond'
maybe because the singer is Japanese ^^
