Spitz - Robinson (English version)

[narimikichan]

明るい感じになってるよね

[kuranofuji]

Nice remake as it added a bit light-hearted feeling to an emotional song,yet there're subtleties need to be improved.

[nantokireina]

これはこれでいいんでないかい

[woodforest100]

いいんじゃないですか。

[MrDrende]

really good in english version!!!but I think that the japanese version is more beautifull.by the way thanks for posting!!!

[tvs82nrs]

この歌詞は日本語の歌と違うんですね。なんとなく本物のほういい­きがします。

[yamabuki0sj0sensei]

言ってることわかんないけど、マサムネの声とスピッツの音有りき­の私には全く受け付けなかった。冷静に聴けば悪く無いのかもしれ­ないけど、無理だった。歌始まった途端、どっかの民族音楽を無理­矢理英語で歌った様な受け入れ難い違和感が走った。興味を持って­くれたのは凄く嬉しいんだけど何か違う。。。それとも、何かの企­画物ですか？

[helloinazumapanda]

Spitz sings it much better. Ouch suck. It wont sound good in English, only good in Japanese

[RHAMEN10]

What is this semi-Pet shop boys like band! terrible arrangement! It's not the language that is not suited, but couldn't it be better arrangement in terms of sound...

[ZznanaozZ]

ohhh.. 90s style. not bad

[tony830621]

還不錯哦!這也是原唱的的歌曲嗎?



[hiro45968]

わりと好き

[shotb1963]

オリジナルが完璧なだけにこれはちょっと・・

でも心意気や良しとしよう

[AlAlslord]

@shotb1963

歌詞としては個人的にはこっちのが好きだなぁ。



[rottree]

feels like old beatles song..but still good to me

[jeffabian40]

Although the lyrics in English is different, I should say that I like this version as much as I like the original song.('',)

[jeffabian40]

Although the lyrics are totally different from the original Japanese version, I should say that I like this one is not bad at all.

[LordNekoSama]

Drums are bad, bass is poor (just listen de original version), drums are bad, vocals lack feeling, drums are REALLY bad.... the original melody is totally lost, this version is empty, without feeling at all...

This is just a bad Beatles imitation...

[deepsleep31]

English Cover　にしては結構正確にトラッキングしていると思う　わりとoriginalにイメージが近い

[JesusIsRussian]

the English language butchered the intensity of the song!

[poconyanpocopoco]

Who is this Band ?

[JackFrost20xx]

英語だとこんな感じになるんだ。

いいじゃん^-^

[mrelf1]

this sounds more like a Beetles song.

its nice but, and i'm not trying to compare the two, not as moving as the Spitz version. i imagine this more as a song to play while driving thru the country with the top down.

[rasta2peeya]

good point and i agree

nice version tho

[domopj]

I like the lyrics

[futurekawai]

I`ve recently heard a version with a female vocalist.

[zestyfork]

the drums are so electric and harsh... the lyrics are clumsy with only a vague touch on some superficial feelings...

the voice is also struggling on some of those high notes...

i prefer the original, but have tried giving this one a chance... it's a completely different song, and evokes a different feeling altogether...

[sabroohzz]

Lyrics are different. Japanese version.

It is a different thing. All.

[residentrage001]

You may love the original version, but you can't just ignore this one, we are SPITZ fans.  This is a great song... Nice Attempt for this one. ^_^

[ChimeitekiKaze]

It sounds okay but his voice sad to say sounds ugly during the chorus.

[6Air5Guitarist0]

just doesn't sound the same as the Japanese version. I love the original version and I dont even know japanese...

:)

[davidnzs]

If you compare this version with the original one, then you're missing the point and you're keeping yourself from enjoying the beauty of this take. Simply beautiful.

[flotcup]

i dont get it from 1:39-1:42...

pls help...

[dm0115]

Very Nice my friend, I'm a huge fan of Spitz, and this is a respectable attempt .

[Albion08shAded]

Sounds like the beatles sang it! Still, it still a good song!

[shaw1]

an awesome version too! sweet.

[shaw1]

okay..sound funny at certain parts. the impression was like it is sung by a British old school band. does the English version song meanings still the same as the Japanese version?

[Surferasianchick134]

When I was in Japan last year, I heard an English version of Robinson, but it wasn't this. It had a female vocalist.

Does anyone know what I heard?

[rapeblossomssea]

誰がカバーしてるんですか？

[seikichikun]

・・・・イギリスのグループ「OUCH!」が１９９６年にカバー­しました。曲名は「 It could have been me.」と言いますヾ（‥；）

[LunaHeartTaichou]

This is a good song. I enjoy both English and Japanese. so soothing... heehee ^^

[iareryc3]

wow this song sucks in english :( I like the japanese version

[Rukishou]

I like both, of course the Japanese is better.

[asiteed]

For as long as they're (Spitz) the ones who did the translation, we're not in a position to judge. Only they would know how they felt while writing it, so instead of the words being translated, the feelings were being translated into expressions to which the english-speaking audiences can hopefully relate(as only the Japanese can fully relate to their lyrics). Just think of it as another original. Directly translating the lyrics would make it sound a bit awkward. It's still good anyways. :P

[Rukishou]

Totally. :P

[izyla]

even though I dont understand a word in japanese, I really prefer the japanese version, the english is not cool at all :)

[fvm20]

この音楽欲しい！！！

[smilecat2]

English version待ってました。

[BlackInuyaju11]

wow, they totally screwed up the second part of the chorus

"ookii na chikara de sora ni ukabetara

rurara uchuu no kaze ni noru"

means:

"if we float up to the sky with great power, lulala, we'll ride on the winds of the universe"

and those are the lyrics i can translate for sure myself, and the rest of it just doesn't sound right (sang and translated this song for a japanese project)

good try though, at least the beat was still right

[yutakito]

I don't know...ロビンソン ranks on my top 10 list of Best Spitz song...I would reserve my judgement on this.

[shuremic58beta]

it nice but i like more spitz...but good job....keep the good work

[shine1920]

歌詞の意味が分かってもらえればそれでよし！

If it is possible to understand for the meaning of lyrics, it is good in it.

[wekendlee]

WHAT THE~~~~HAHA~~

[flotcup]

who did this song?...

just curious...

[RooCAssis]

wait is the japanese version a remake or this english version?

[jethroupenn]

Japanese is original language....English version is sooooooooo weird..........

[RooCAssis]

LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO this is wierd. I like it though.

*writes the english lyrics down and sings it with the original music*

yey :3

[bakazuki]

try again, guys. -__-!!!

I'd rather listen to Kusano-san, even if his english might have Japanese-accent.

[kurumais]

not bad but its hard to beat spitz lea vocals

[KeybladerRoxas]

heh.....w/e

its ok i guess i still like d spitz version

[avogadro6022]

beatles?duh.

[capoat2]

何だコレ?!

spoiled spitz! damn it

[hemolon]

何だコレ？

[Karinui]

It's not that bad come on!

[JScarper]

@Karinui

Sadly, to a Spitz fan, it is :( Spitz is a really, really tight band and this song practically captures the best of them. This cover doesn't come up to par. Not by a long shot.

[miyah11]

ew. ew. ew.

what is this remake thing even called?

[VesperJunkie]

this is f*ing terrible

[HitokiriFyre]

does anyone have lyrics or anything else for this song? I love it (as well as the original), but can't understand some of the words... plus I'd like to know more about the band. thanks!

[awhtokyo]

Absolutely no relation to the original lyrics... Interesting cover, though...

[tmsHG]

Interesting cover, has more of an 80's rock feel to it.

[masakokubo]

This is not Spitz. Covered by Ouch!

[Karinui]

Really? Didn't know that.. Thanks!

[ciddjr]

is Ouch! the band who sings the engilsh robinson

[masakokubo]

Yes, it is. Although I don't know well, they are the band of UK and this song was used for the commercial of beer in Japan.

Song title is "It could have been me".

[HitokiriFyre]

do you know the lyrics?

[AngelsUniverse]

this is aweful
