Sonic Adventure Music - Open Your Heart (Prototype Japanese version)

[thunderboyAAC]

The lyrics are so stereotypical XD

[MrAwesomenMario360]

Mr.Awesome: WHY did they hire this sad excuse for a band before the Final game? Makes me glad Crush 40 came along!

[aaronjs4]

I couldnt help but laugh at 1:02

[Hoorayforfakes]

So I showed this one to Jun Senoue himself through twitter and asked the oh-so-haunting question: "Who sang this one anyway"?

The singer here is Eizo Sakamoto of Animetal.

[mattwo7]

So the music is english?

[mattwo7]

Pretty sure sonic is the same age everywhere because his first game was released in america first.

[aaronjs4]

@mattwo7 I find it wierd that the first Sonic game was released on June 23rd 1991 and i was born on June 23rd 2000 and grew up to be a massive Sonic fan

[mattwo7]

@aaronjs4 My first console was a genesis with sonic 2 bundled. However I've grown to like a good deal of franchises a LOT. Even mario.

[NickFord92]

@mattwo7 If you read it correctly, It says the 10th birthday of Sonic Adventure(The Game). Not Sonic's(The Character) 10th birthday.

@LordLightChaos It also helps that she spent most of her childhood in the States, but agreed.

[SynobazzCircutMaster]

Am I the only one here who likes the Engrish version as much as the English version? I say they should go back and let Senoue do a version of the song with all of the lyrics sung like this and release it as an extra on a music CD... I would seriously buy that CD if they did. For real, I would.

[bardhi09]

@SynobazzCircutMaster No you're not i do too :D!

[DiamShadowWraith]

LOL. Nearly as frurent engrish as Gackt XD. So wait, is Jun Senoue the usual singer for Crush 40? If so, how did he go from engrish to english so quickly? >_>

[PhantomKirbyKid]

@DiamShadowWraith He didn't. Johnny is the one who sings, not Jun. This was before Johnny was in the band.

[StarTheWolf32]

You guys do know that this is Jun Senoue Singing this!(As a Crush 40 fan you should all know him)

[LordLightChaos]

They should've hired ppl who are better at english than these guys! -.-;; Like Hitada Hikaru-san! She sings english flawlessly! X3 No wonder they hired an american band instead! :3

[sonikku956]

@LordLightChaos It's a Japanese-American band.

[lord1234title]

is this supposed japanese trying to sing this? they fail at trying english.

[FizzWolf]

*lols*

[masterswagful]

The Beat Actully Sounds Like DreamCast Quality lol

[candy822803]

what the heck was that

[mariobros3648]

TOO epic. x3

[TLdhAshley]

Sonic Adventure is my favourite 3D Sonic title.

While it may not be an actual role playing title, the RPG elements help add variety to this one; I'm also very fond of its other added features: religion, literature, philosophy, and mythology.

The story is also very unique and the game play is just so much fun!

And the music is just brilliant; "Open Your Heart" is my favourite music by Crush 40.

[BlazeFireMaster]

Is this Crush 40? I thought Crush 40 was an American band... and this doesn't sound like it. (Engrish)

[Yasmar89]

@BlazeFireMaster Nah, this seems to be what SoJ experimented with for localization.

[bardhi09]

maaaaaaaaa i wish johnny gioeli created a new prototype of open your heart to be like this cuz this song is a little diferent at places like "who are we what can we do" and in the final version when it says "Close my eyes and feel it burn" here it says "Close my own(im probaly guessing when he says close my own he measn closing his won heart not eyes though that only imo) and feel the burn"

[ShadowChao277]

Thanks for uploading! Why do people make fun of the lyrics? It's actally cool to hear a prototype version!

[mrdaltdalt11]

Sounds like Sonic and friends are singing....

at some parts.

[mephiles5]

i really like the voice

[dave89898989]

I'm sorry but they really can't do it. sonikku thanks for the funny lyrics! again, no offence anyone.

[SonikkuForever]

I know, singing in English is obviously a... difficulty for them. Then again, I'm pretty sure I'd butcher a Japanese song.

[SonicDude5000]

@SonikkuForever Ummm . . . I have no words, except for: "SEGA was right to choose Crush 40 for this song." I agree with you, however, that Americans would make an EPIC FAIL at singing Japanese.

[veXchu]

How are the lyrics funny?

[dave89898989]

it was what sonikku put with the japanese stereotype talking lyrics.

[rinkunokoisuru]

That was funny yet cool.

[sonic0chick0ames]

wow im glad that this is the prototype

its a drastic changes from the open your heart that was done for the finalo release

thanxs for the upload :)

oh and first :)
