how could anybody dislike this!!! Sure, everybody gets their own opinion, but really! This guy is amazing! He writes the songs, plays all the instruments, and sings in Japanese AND English. he learned Japanese from manga and anime apparently.. XD i wish i could...
wow. I just happened to look for good music and i find this! This guy is GENIUS!
At first, i didnt even know he was just one guy, i thought it was a band till i read that hes just one guy, writing the music, playing it all by himself, singing in both japanese and english. Simply amazing, and that 1 dude which trolled and hit the dislike button is probably hiding in home afraid to go out.
@JakenJragin same here dude, i wanted to make a bionicle manga, but if i asked for copyright permission, theyd laugh at me, even though im a decent writer, im bringing an anime to youtube soon, so watch my channel if youre interested
I think its good that his song was used in the Naruto opening because it made him 10x more popular, and he deserves it too! This guy is great! I wish I could teach myself Japanese...
Awsome thing is he can speak spanish too! Amazing! Would love to know him! he shows that songs dont have to be about gross things! This is just a way of saying hello to someone! I love him! I am his Number 1 Fan!
I found a translation of the lyrics.... this part interested me: "Dekai nami nomaretari, nomi kaeshitari." It means something along the lines of "A big wave swallowed us, swallow back."
I find it ironic that the Japanese for "swallow" has "nom" in it...
yea i first heard his song when i heard the naruto opening theme then yea i thought nice song then i searched on youtube closer found many other songs by joe
RainbowStarz123, according to Joe's website he taught himself by reading a buttload of manga and watching a buttload of anime. And his parents are FOB Japanese. Language learning tip: pronunciation and grammar! And then vocab. But some people...I teach English and I swear, my students are retarded. And some of these people have been going to eikaiwa for years too!
why does this comment have a -2 rating. He's kind of correct. A hell lot of people didn't know him until he sang a naruto opening theme. A lot of bands sing anime openings because that's how they get a lot more fans. Sorry, but whoever gave/is going to give ballabkoala09 a negative rating, you're a fucking retard.
i totally agree with sidchuownz! i didn't know about joe inoue either until i heard his song from naruto. nevertheless, i love him now, and that doesnt change anything
dam true I'm a Naruto fan myself. I was watching naruto while this new intro came in and i felt in love with it immediately so i looked it up and found joe Inoue who is not in my ipod's top rated and I'm thinking of buying the cd though i don't know if they have it in best buy or where can i get it .
This dude is a GENIUS. He writes the music, plays all the instruments (recorded separately, duh), and sings fluently in two languages. Just WOW. Love him!
Joe is such an EPICEPICEPIC guy. He is a multi- talented guy. I'm going to hear all his songs.
