[xpertadvisor]

I'm making my own lyrics for this kumikyoku, using various fandubs I've found all over the internet including translyrics I've made up myself. Your lyrics have been incorperated into my lyrics, with some of them being changed here and there. I hope to record it one day. May I?

[Ashiyachan]

@xpertadvisor Sure! That's fine.

[OkamixMe]

What's the name of the anime shown at 9: 39 ? It looks interesting.

[LordofCruxis]

@OkamixMe It's a VN called Figu@mate, not an anime, but basically it's fap material. It does have plot but there is no english version out.

[LordofCruxis]

[thatthingoverthere]

Dear god.... Oh the horror on NND.

[Ashiyachan]

@thatthingoverthere  xD

[thatthingoverthere]

@Ashiyachan I have never seen so much english on NND in one place. You got damn trolled (but lawl there are lots of people bored enough to sign up on Japanese sites? The chans must be running out of lulzcows)

[AlexMcPwnr]

Strangely enough... I like this version more than the other dude's transaled version...

*likes*

[Ashiyachan]

@AlexMcPwnr =D! Thank you~

[smilyfacekilla]

Shivers down my spine usually isn't a good sign, i'll make an exception here.

[Ashiyachan]

@smilyfacekilla Thank you so much!!! <3

[ChibiKitty12]

Your voice is clear and has a lot of resonance, it really sounds nice. This song is really hard to sing and I'm impressed that you could do it so well. I look forward to hearing more songs for you. You will sing more songs, da?

[Ashiyachan]

@ChibiKitty12 I really appreciate it! <3 Thank you. And yes, I will be singing more songs. I actually just sang one recently, but I can't think of what type of video/clips to put it to.

[AySz88]

The translation is really great. I love that you managed to get the U.S. anthem in there somehow. :P

[Ashiyachan]

@AySz88 xD Somehow...

And thank you! <3

[WhiteRoseGrl23]

wow, you're pretty good. ( '_')b

[Ashiyachan]

@WhiteRoseGrl23 =3 Thank you very much! <3

[PingasPiness]

flat chested little girls........*shudder* why would they make a song like that?

i;m sencing a little hint of pedophalia...

[shirokun219]

@ PingasPiness you don't know the awesomeness of that song do you?

[Freya1x]

i get a feeling your an alto singer : |

[Ashiyachan]

Actually, no, I currently have a very clear soprano voice, but I appreciate you trying to justify the quality of my voice at the start of my learning how to sing (which was almost two years ago).

[Siggihufa]

Awesome

[Ashiyachan]

Thank you. <3

[TD1Celestial]

Hey... an English version that actually sounds good. I'm impressed!

[Ashiyachan]

=D Thank you so much!

[Ashiyachan]

(L) = Love? If so, thank you! I loved singing that part. Higurashi is an amazing Anime with equally amazing music.

[AFanCorp]

Now you just need a studio and a little sound editing. =D

Great work!

A bit muffled but that's probably the mic.

[Ashiyachan]

=D Sankyu so much. <3

[orston60]

really enjoy this video (downloaded on my ipod :P) and would love a new version with better sound quality!

[Ashiyachan]

=DDDDDD!

I've been considering it. I think I would do a different version, though. Also, I've been wondering whether to sing it in English or Japanese... Hmm.

[S0namus]

the Yu-Gi-Oh part was funny XD I also found myself singing along with you :3 XD

[Ashiyachan]

Yay! I'm glad~

[freemovies411]

Think about how hard this is. You gotta sing to many different melodies and you're even throwing in the correct effects and changing your voice to match the characters. You flippin TRANSLATED THIS YOURSELF, didn't cha? Singing for 3 times the usual time than most English songs. And...

*doesn't know how to explain this*

And...You make it all come together.

So if you claim your voice sucked then or even now, I'm sure no one would notice. XP (Complement~~)

(Me? Use? Singing? Plz?)

[Ashiyachan]

You're so sweet! Thank you!!~

<3 Of course you can use it~ Just credit me?

[freemovies411]

XD I'm just explaining how your modesty to your singing talent couldn't damage you in anyway. *waves finger in an anime fashion*

Thanks and Sure! I've experienced plagarism before, and believe me, it ain't fun! ^^;

[malindhoshiyuki]

You have a great voice!!!! Gosh i wish i had it...... but anyways Great job

[Ashiyachan]

Thank you! <3

[malindhoshiyuki]

Your welcome!

[hyperk2]

Man, those people on Nico Nico Douga are pretty vicious. I'm wondering why all those english speaking people went out their way to go to a japanese sight to bash a video.

Frankly, i found it to be alright for someone who claims to not have any singing experience. Plus a lot of people are harsh on something when it's translated to their native language from another that they are used to(mainly because it's different)

[Ashiyachan]

I thought it was super silly that they did that! xD But, I don't understand how they managed to listen through it in order to post those comments. It must have taken a lot of effort (or just hitting the mute button).

I agree that it needs a lot of work, but I've improved significantly since then (in both singing and translating). I'm actually anxious to get something new up, but I feel kind of bad that I'm not doing a remake of this.

Thank you for your time and comment! <3

[Konaruhi]

actually at 09:17 - 09:38 is SUPOSTED to be the Japanese Anthum (i'm sure that's not spelled right!) not the American Anthum...

[Ashiyachan]

I know~

But this is the (American) ENGLISH version, not the Japanese version.

I suppose I could've done "God Save the Queen", but I'm not British.

[LaMierdaTeCome]

english version SUCKS

[tomoya1215]

nice!

[Ashiyachan]

Thanks~

[IgnorantProduction]

it's actually really nice =D just some parts are too fast or slow.

one more sub for u ^^

[Ashiyachan]

Thank you very much~ I need to work on my editing skills some.

[thinkingofthoughts]

AHAHAHAHAA- not bad, all things considering, although the sound quality's not so good. this was the only english version i've found so far, though. it's so random, LMAO. "seeweed is really great"... uh-HUH. well then. XD good luck with that. thanks for posting! it's... very interesting actually hearing the translation. ;]

[Ashiyachan]

xD Yes, very random.

[DNAngel88]

Woot wooh!!! Super nice!!

[orston60]

wow the best version i could find!

[Ashiyachan]

Thank you! <3

[Hayarenryuu]

I can't wait when you get your new mic, maybe your voice will be crystal-clear!

Are you going to sing this again?

[Ashiyachan]

Not this whole thing. But I may sing complete versions of some of the songs. Possibly.

[Hayarenryuu]

If I could, I would make this my ringtone!

Seriously, you sing very well!

So please sing whole "Agent Yoru Wo Iku!"

Your voice is so amazing even without vocal training!

[Ashiyachan]

-blush-

Thank you so much! <3

I'm trying to find a new mic right now so I'll probably be recording new songs soon.

[gogo24]

win, I thought you'd like to know that

[Ashiyachan]

Yes, I would. ^--^ Thank you!

[HeRoNoiDDD]

I haven't seen very negative comments (Though haven't checked whole comment list...) But still I don't understand what is so bad about this? It takes a lot of courage to upload a video where you sing yourself. Yoo have nice voice, so KEEP IT UP!

[Ashiyachan]

Thank you very much! <3 <3 <3

[1337talkerz]

lol warriers is the wrong spelling :P its warriOrs

[Ashiyachan]

Whoops. xD Thank you.

[emilijg]

4:42. who knows wat song that is? I've heared of it before but I forgot

[lbjkidusa2]

Higuashi ,i cant remember the rest atm , ill pm you a link in a minute.

[Ashiyachan]

Thank you for answering for me. <3

[lbjkidusa2]

Anytime.

[Ashiyachan]

If you check the lyrics link, it has all of the song names listed there.

[CJZanin]

it wasnt bad really, i like your voice

[Ashiyachan]

<3 Thank you.

[tierra68]

the part of okkusenman it's complicated to translate to 110 million (how can imagine singing this part in english?)...but the "best way to translate" it's a thousand million

[MasterShake300]

wow, color me impressed.

[Ashiyachan]

Thank you! :)

[solidsnakewannabe]

xD i'm actually glad u translated the whole thing

[Ashiyachan]

Me too.

[solidsnakewannabe]

sure xD if u want

[decemberry]

That was the best Fandub of Nico Nico Douga.

Ever.

The Yu-Gi-Oh Part was really funny!

:]

[Ashiyachan]

YAY! I'm glad you found that part amusing~~~

Thank you!

[HellecticMojo]

How long did it take for you to break the songs down into singable english forms?

[Ashiyachan]

Uhg. A few long weeks. But I procrastinated.

[HanHanFilms]

I love your voice! Pretty good!! ^^

[Ashiyachan]

<3 Thank you very much.

[hell2uall]

Whats the anime in like 7:55?

[korogaru213]

Aquarion

[PossessedbyPhoenix]

Amusing; I was entertained.

[Ashiyachan]

Good. That's all that matters.

[lbjkidusa2]

watched this around 18 times

[Ashiyachan]

o____0

<3 x 18 then.

[geohexamon]

LOL Kizo Mario

[animakerdrag]

-_- no comments only a word

cool

[Ashiyachan]

Thanks. <3

[sailoruchiha101]

Hehe, Its not as bad as you think XD

Better than I tried X3

[Ashiyachan]

Thankies ^-^ Did you upload yours? I'd love to hear it!

[KuroLao]

lol you still sound good XD, i like this vid so i faved it =P

[Ashiyachan]

Aw, thank you so much! <3

[Enkiim]

What's the anime at 3:00

[lbjkidusa2]

digimon i belive , could be wrong i never saw the anime only the commercials

[KuroLao]

the one showing on the top left hand corner is digimon, but the overall anime song is the opening theme of buso renkin( good anime)

[lbjkidusa2]

ah , when i clicked it i just noticed it put me back like 15 seconds

[Punisher106]

When I listen to the original version of the medley, I play something long and difficult on a game, and I usually start it at "Let's go". lmao

Thatnks for helping me learn the lyrics.

[Ashiyachan]

No problem~

[Punisher106]

Oh, also, I'm sure that at the Okkusenman part, it's 110 million, not thousand million. :X

[Ashiyachan]

It's actually an imaginary number that doesn't exist. The best way to translate it is into "A Thousand Million".

[Punisher106]

Really? oO

I see direct translations, and they tend to say 110 million. I'm an Air Man Ga Taosenai/Okkusenman nerd. :X

Speaking of which, why didn't you sing the direct translation of the former song, either? xD

[Ashiyachan]

I'm pretty sure about it. Not 100%, seeing as I'm not Japanese, but fairly certain. I didn't ask any Japanese(-speaking) person though, which I should have done regardless.

And to your second comment...

Do you mean the beginning of Okkusenman or IOSYS/Touhou?

[Punisher106]

Air Man Ga Taosenai. Also, I don't wanna sound like a critic, I LOVE this dub, but in the Forest MAze part, listen closely to that part in the japanese version. You'll literally hear them sing in english "For the reeeeest of your gaming life AAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!". Just a quick note for you. XD

[Ashiyachan]

There was an official translation? ^^;;; Oops.

And, for the Forest Maze part, in the Kumikyokyu medley, they sing "love" as a bridge between that song and the Digimon one.

However, also for the Forest Maze song, I sang the wrong word. Instead of "path turns" I sang "patterns".

[Kowalacake]

Not trying to bother you, but do you know where I can find a direct translation?Or even just the lyric sheet of one?

[Punisher106]

For Air Man Ga Taosenai? Google up "Air man ga taosenai english lyrics". I don't think Youtube will let me post a URL. xD

[lbjkidusa2]

Hmm ,Whats the anime at the uninstall part?

[ChaosBrix]

It's from the anime Bokurano.

[lbjkidusa2]

Thanks , i watched it and it was one of the best animes i seen :D

[Neibaku]

My friend wants me to sing this, and the english version seems a little cramped. This one is a little less so. Mind if I sing it?

[Ashiyachan]

Not at all!

Go ahead! (Hopefully, you already have.)

Just send me a link when you upload it~

[Neibaku]

Yeah, I responded it to this a while ago.

[Ashiyachan]

Watching it now~

You're voice is super cute. <3

[Animitise12ppl]

May I ask what you use to record this. I don't want to sing this one but I do wanna sing the Ryuuseigun version.

[Ashiyachan]

I just used Audacity. It's a free program that you can download online.

[Naolin]

Singing definitely isn't /bad/ - some parts sound pretty good, actually - and it's a lot of fun to listen to. A few more times and I'll have this memorised...~

[Ashiyachan]

Thank you!

<3

You should upload a video of you singing once you memorize it. (Send me a link if you do?)

[lbjkidusa2]

memorised on my 5th time , not a hard song to memorise

[ZabHazard]

The singing isn't great but what deserves credit is unlike the rest of the English dubs I've seen of this medley this one doesn't have any whining in it. It annoys me when people sing stuff like "Why the hell am I singing this?" on a hard to sing part.

[Ashiyachan]

^-^ Thank you.

I wanted to do as well as I could, even though I couldn't sing some of the more difficult parts very well.

[Killsup]

In my opinion this is the best english translation of this out so far, as for those that have insulted you...... they need to realize that translating this song is FREAKIN' HARD DANG IT!!!

[Ashiyachan]

<3 <3 <3 <3

Thank you so much!

[rolrodur]

very large screen

[Ashiyachan]

LOL Yeah, I don't really know what's going on with YouTube.

[Ceresius]

While this was not the best thing ever, it was certainly not terrible, and I believe it is probably the best english version of Nico Nico Medley on YouTube at the moment. Your singing was pretty good at some parts - I think with some lessons, as well as smoothing out some parts of the translation, you'd be able to make this absolutely incredible.

[Ashiyachan]

Thank you very much~

I've been taking some lessons recently! I'm so happy. I don't think I plan on re-singing this. Actually, though, I'm trying to start up a band with a few friends of mine. I've already written a song. I'll probably it up on YouTube and MySpace.

[PlasticPaperCut]

yous a really good singer

keep it up

[Ashiyachan]

Thank you~ <3

[Wikiboy]

Amazing! I Love this song and this video ^^. Nice work

[Ashiyachan]

Thank you!

[DyersEve0]

not good but not bad

[Ashiyachan]

I agree.

[Punisher106]

Nice work! But NND requires me to log in, and I'm too lazy! D:

[Ashiyachan]

xD LOL~

[shihansanjo]

It wasn't that bad, honestly. I mean, for someone who claims to have no voice training and was sick that day, it's pretty good. Your range would be pretty great for a vocalist if you ever did decide to take it up. ^.^ Now I'm thinking I may need to sing this and post it up =P.

[Ashiyachan]

You should sing it! Definitely send me a link~

I've gotten some vocal training since this, and I'm trying to start-up a band with a few friends of mine. We've already written a song. ^^

[shihansanjo]

Ha, I would love to hear what you've got! ^.^

I'm using your lyrics, mmk? I should have this recorded within the next few weeks. =P

[Ashiyachan]

'Kay!

Definitely send me a link when you upload~

[Ellitwest]

Of all the english version of this mix I've heard, yours is my favorite. :V

Now. Some parts are really, really great. The beginning is a good example. I was impressed. Everything Touhou. And the Yu-Gi-Oh portion made me chuckle. Keep up the good work.

[Karasu64]

true true and laughed a few times while watching this

[Ashiyachan]

xD Well, I'm glad you got -some- kind of entertainment out of it.

[Ashiyachan]

Yay!

Thank you <3

[xlr637]

cccrrrrrrrrrrraaaaaaaaaaappppp­ppppppppyyyyyyyyy

this i have to say sucks balls

[sunriser09]

i'd like to hear you do better

[KakanSetra]

Just because he can't do it better doesn't mean he isn't allowed to say it sucks. A person doesn't need to have a good voice to determine liking one. That said I disagree with xlr637 on his opinion. It's not that bad.

[Ashiyachan]

Thank you.

And yes, each person is entitled to their own opinion.

[AnimeGamr]

Some parts sounded nice, but others seemed just odd... even so, I must give you props for translating something like this and singing it, too~

[Ashiyachan]

Thank you~

I did intend for some parts to be a bit strange...

But, some just ended-up weird. xD

[DimSumPwns]

ok its good but please never translate a japanese song into english >.> the lyrics dont make sense and make the whole thing sucks as a whole... not bad though just crappy lyrics ^^

[Ashiyachan]

LOL~

The lyrics can never completely convey what is trying to be said in the original language. But I think it's necessary to translate songs so that people of other origins can enjoy their (almost)-full meaning too.

[YueChaan]

Question Where do u get the vid and may i borrow ur lyrics promos to give u credits!!!!

still wuv ur voice!!!!

[Ashiyachan]

The video was a pain to find. xP I have no clue where I actually ended up getting it from.

And, yes, please do use the lyrics, as long as you send me a link to you singing! <3

[YueChaan]

mkay thxs

[CapeMike]

I like! :D

So far, this version's English rendition of 'GONG'(by JAM Project for Super Robot Wars Alpha 3) seems to fit the best, in my opinion...; any chance you'd want to take a crack at the entire song?  I've got it in mp3 format.... :D

[Ashiyachan]

I think I sent you a message about this. Hopefully you got it.

[IanInsanity13]

please let me borrow these lyrics!!! ill give you FULL credit :D

[Ashiyachan]

Of course!

Can you give me link when you put it up?

<3

[AzelAzure]

Great! Ya made it through the entire song! Some parts were funny (lol'd a lot at Duel Monsters and the Marisa stole the precious thing parts.)

I kinda feel like conditioning the words a little better. Ya mind?

[Ashiyachan]

I'm glad you picked up on (some of) the parts when I was trying to be funny. xD

Go ahead! <3 Could I have a link, though? I'd love to see!

[AzelAzure]

Ah, I'll just send my lyrics once I've got an already translated and condition it to a more...understanding phrase/verse/etc.

Some of them, I doubt I can change, since it fits so well (ie about 60 of the thing is already fine.) Okkusenman is just too damn quick to keep up with.

I suck at singing melodies, so I sing the harmonies. XD

[Ashiyachan]

xD

I can't wait~

[NytroDesigns]

lol that was really good

[Ashiyachan]

Aw, thanks. <3

[NytroDesigns]

Ashiyachan

your welcome =3

--Nytro

[skyrunner14]

Where'd you get the lyrics to the songs? Or did you make them yourselves? I know the English Hare Hare Yukai is from MilkyCabbage, but I've been looking for lyrics to the other songs for a while.

[Ashiyachan]

I have a link to the lyrics in the video description.

I translated almost all of the lyrics. I believe the only ones that I didn't, were both of the Haruhi songs. (I changed some of the lines to both, though.)

[MintTriforce]

Your voice is amazing~~!!! <3

[Ashiyachan]

Thank you! <3

[XZanerZX]

Watch H2O footprints in the sand yet? lol

[CanadaAotS]

It was kinda meh. Needs better microphone, and audio editing. However, the English lyrics were very well done, and your voice for most of the songs was pretty good.

Air is a hard one... if you'll notice in the Japanese version, they have guys do a lower version of it, probably because the notes are so high lol.

I think also, if you had more people who can sing competently, found someone who could mix it well, it'd be as awesome as the original Nico Nico Douga 15 Users version.

[Ashiyachan]

Thank you~

I definitely agree, especially on the microphone and editing comments.

And I tried to get some users to do a group version with me, but they all bailed! v.v How horrible is that?!
