Why is it that when English stuff is translated to Japanese it usually tiurns out more beautiful than the original, but when stuff is translated into English it's usually bad?
Goes to show...an awesome song is still an awesome song, regardless of language....as long as the singer puts the same emotion and energy as the original singer, the song will always feel the same. I love alot of Japanese songs and themes, and the English versions of those I like, I like just as much, as it still gives me a great feeling, as the music is still constant, and the words are still harmonious to the music.
wow...I've known this song for a while. I love Phil Collins's voice very much. this is the 1st time I heard Jap. ver. performed by leader of V6, Sakamoto. I must admit that I love this version right now ^^ his voice is beautiful. I love both versions XD
The lyrics for this song are so simple. It must not have been very difficult to translate. Still, great version. I think their vocalist was especially good.
@Radien The main goal is not to have direct translation. The point is to send the same or similar enough message, with what is culturally understandable. The English version is not necessarily the best for the Japanese public, so it is natural for them to change it.
@giftedbytruth - I didn't really say anything that would contradict that. I only said that it is "simple but good," to paraphrase. The vocalist is very different from Phil Collins, but I already said I like him.
I've translated songs to and from Japanese before, and I wasn't completely literal, either.
@ADevilsSnare because you can't speak Japanese and neither understand what they are saying nor the tone in which they say it. It's tone that makes a difference in how believable a line is being acted in a VO script.
And a little info for you: in Japan all I heard from my Japanese friends and cousins in regard to Disney, Pixar, the Simpsons, Dreamworks films, etc. was how much better the ENGLISH was. They prefer subs because they say the lines sound corny in Japanese. Everyone prefers what they
I get goosebumps everytime I listen to this song! Sakamoto is amazing! I knew there was a reason why I loved V6 so much, and it wasn't the fact that they are crazy and remind me of a family...
His voice is so beautiful! No, that's too much of an understatement, what words can I use?! ...Wait, what the? Why am I?... *sniff* FREAKIN ALLERGIES T_T
I love the Japanese soundtrack to this. Masayuki Sakamoto is amazingly talented - saw him 2 years in a row as the lead of the Japanese production of Boy From Oz, he was perfect. Also a huge fan of V6/20th Century but I know not everyone is into Jpop :)
@v6link hey hey hey thx very much...i'll try it...infact i have dnloaded this video n ripped out the mp3...howeva the sound qualiT is not that good...so am searchin' for the qualiT...thx buddy :-)
@v6link hey sry 2 bother u again...i've been searching the song 'ur my angel acoustic' by Mikey graham since 2 years...if by any chance u have it or u have link 2 the mp3 for free u pliz tell me...thx buddy
@v6link WISHES is an awesome song to boot! They did a "nori nori" version of it as an encore at one of their shows I went to, because they ran out of songs and the crowd wouldn't let them go home XD
@MrsBloom3 Who said anything about comparing to Phil Collins ? This is a dub for the entire humanity's sake. It was made for entertainment, hello ? Of course the original was always the best, but it doesn't mean you must not dub ! It was not a competition to show who's the better singer, it was just simply a dubbing career. They had done their best work. Like how can you expect 5-year-old Japanese children to understand an English song ? And how can you compare a Japn singer w/ an English one ?
@MrsBloom3 My comment has nothing to do with your own opinion. You can prefer the original version, I don't really care if you do that. All I was saying is that dubbing is a real business, not a competition, but your comment seems to make things that way (which I do not agree). I mean how can you expect them to find someone who has the exact voice as Phil, and from JAPAN ? You can say this singer sucks, only that I don't care. After all his intention was to do his job, not to compete w/ anyone.
Why is it that when English stuff is translated to Japanese it usually tiurns out more beautiful than the original, but when stuff is translated into English it's usually bad?
