Vocaloid song "Butterfly" English translation & romaji in more info

[Ultimatemariolover]

Omg is len on append or did he go through puberty?

[Darkindian1]

LUKA FOREVERRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!

[yshabash]

did len and kaito have vocaloid babies?!

[Michelle2815CV]

I think I like Gakupo's voice better, but I like G# Minor songs so much better.

Can't decide which is better.

[AliarYamato12]

He sounds so much older. Maybe about 4 years older. I have always imagined him to be about 14. In this song he sounds about 17 or 18. He sounds so beautiful and full of emotion in this song. Len has always been one of my favorite Vocaloids.

[hakuno4ever]

A year later and I still love this song. :D

[cutie97100]

is this a anime or wat?

[KKbook]

@cutie97100 sorry, Vocaloid is a Japanese singing program of robotic voices made from voice actors, so there's no anime of it. but there are a bunch of songs on youtube and a manga called "Hatsune Mix"

[Falling444]

omg len so smexy too ^^ lolz

[Falling444]

Len is very calm in this one, i find it very soothing

[KaguraYui]

nyaa

kawaii >.<

[KKbook]

I downloaded Gakupo's version of this song first, so I'm used to a different key, but both versions are really pretty. and I like Len's mature voice! (my favorite song that sounds like this is "Gray" by Len- google it)

[thunDaClap01]

Didn't know how loud it was going to be on my headphones D: I almost died.

[vonTwirlenkiller]

Hehe, okay! I've always thought the song Jewel by KAITO deserves more popularity than it has because of its unique sound. :)

[vonTwirlenkiller]

I can't thank you enough for this translation. Do you take requests?

[BluCamo19]

This most definately isnt len... who is it?!

[PixieStuff12]

could be an older version of len xD but the voice is hot

[MusicalShape]

Ack, sorry, that came out wrong! I just meant that your experience greatly outweighs mine, but it sounds like I'm calling you a begginer too. Sorry. ^^'

[Cattype1]

Thanks for the lyrics.

I can't decide if I like Len's or Gakupo's version better.

[QTpear]

Thanks so much! I've been looking for these for weeks!

[MusicalShape]

I'm still a beginner in Japanese - probably much more so than motoko-san - but I do have a clarification to offer up for people trying to interpret the translation.

触れる爪先 --> "You on my toe"

I think that sentence is just trying to convey the general idea of lightly brushing against something with the tip of your toe - it could be perhaps an idea, emotion, or the "you" mentioned here.

[GGLoneGWolfGG]

I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're referring to as Japanese, is in fact, Chinese/kana, or as I've recently taken to calling it, Chinese plus Kana. Japanese is not a language unto itself, but rather another derivative of a fully functioning Language made useful by the pretty letters comprising a full Language. Many Japanese speakers speak in a modified version of the Chinese Language every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of

[GGLoneGWolfGG]

events, the version of Chinese which is widely used in Japan is often called "Japanese", and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the Chinese Language, developed by the Chinese people.There really is a Japanese Language, and these people are speaking it, but it is just a part of the Language they use. The Kana is an essential part of an language, but useless by itself; it can

[egoistmermaid]

.....= =|||| it's called "kanji"....

[GGLoneGWolfGG]

only function in the context of a complete Language. Japanese is normally used in combination with the Chinese language: the whole system is basically Chinese with Kana added, or Chinese/Kana.

[XRamenxHimeX]

@GGLoneGWolfGG

Most european langauges stem from greek, germanic, celtic, slavic, etc. That doesn't mean that any of us speak any of those languages.

Yes, languages stem from other languages, and share common syntax and vocabulary, but that doesn't mean that it's the same language.

[XRamenxHimeX]

@GGLoneGWolfGG

Plus - Chinese isn't a language... it's a nationality. What people would normally call "Chinese" could actually be different languages. Ask someone who speaks cantonese to speak to someone who speaks mandarin and see how well they communicate. China has many different dialects within itself.

So while I don't disagree that Japanese stemmed from Chinese, I would not call Japanese a variation of "Chinese", but rather a different language with it's origins based in China.

[gg533]

Aren't you thinking of Hiragana? Kanji is different from Chinese, seeing as how it uses the SYLLABLES.

[NagemCombat]

@gg533 You have it backwards. Hiragana and katakana uses syllables. Kanji is what stems off of Chinese pictograms.

[gg533]

@NagemCombat oh. k. >>

[tapiocarosen]

I love you. Gah. I've searched for these lyrics for centuries.

[Rosette1811]

This song is too deep for Len to sing it....

so i like Gakupo's version better

[StarPrincess144]

where can I get this picture? On nico sound it has a different one

[StarPrincess144]

oh my gosh! this is seriously Len? he sounds much older than in most of his songs.

[milkT86]

Thank you very much ^_^ but the part "no taiyō"(first row lyric) when I tried to sing feel not right. Maybe there is other prounounce for the kanji?

TT^TT sorry for asking too much~

[Sondow22]

...I always thought Gakupo's was the only version of this song. I never heard Len's, let alone suspect it was the original.

Thanks for translating this.

[souloverdrive]

I've only heard Gackupo's version but..

LEN'S VERSION ROCKS.

[NekoNekoMe123]

wow this song was originaly by Len? I think this is cool but Gakupos ver was the first one i listend to so i find it better. but thats just my opinion

[Bikachan]

Isn't this one of Gakupo's original songs?

[ragedzai]

[strawberrybakah]

[kagarirulezz]
