  • ボブの曲は歌詞がすごく大事。

    この曲は特に歌詞を変えたらアカン。

    

  • ↓はげしく同意

  • おい! 歌詞を変え過ぎにも程があるだろう!  決して君の事は嫌いでは無かったが… コレはアカンやろ、冒涜やで。この曲だけは、歌うのは自由だけど­中途半端な想いだけしかねーくせに、汚いアレンジすんのは止めて­くれ。マジで…。

  • うわぁぁ 英語すんごく上手い

  • It's not Bob Marley, but his message never fades...Dragon Ash is one of my favorite artists, and I consider it an honor to see someone in Japan keep Bob Marley's spirit alive through music. R.I.P. Bob Marley and much love for my Japanese brothers and sisters.

  • Beautiful. <3

  • 歌デタラメじゃん。

    BOBの信者じゃなくも、怒る。

  • good song, but i dont like the way he sing

  • Propped shit dem

  • 日本人に生まれた時点でロックで世界を変えることはできない、と­kjはインタビューで言ってた。DAはクオリティを落とさずに、­一時的な商業主義にも傾倒せず、日本の音楽シーンを変え、テレビ­にほとんど出ないにも関わらず未だにトップチャートに入る本物の­バンドです。

  • うだる様な暑さの中最後まで待っててくれてありがとうございます­。まず、このイベントを立ち上げて2年目でこんなに大きくしたロ­ックインジャパンと最後まで待っててくれたあなた達と今日ここで­一緒にロックを奏でた仲間達に歌います。

  • it's just a matter of his pronunciation here i guess.

    as a matter of fact the performance is not that bad for japanese.

  • Anyone who has responded to this video with negative comments has missed the point entirely.

  • 俺らも日本の古き良き曲を外国人に片言の日本語で

    それっぽく歌われたら決して良い気分はしないはず。

    DA大ファンだけど、この動画を批判するネイティブ達を

    納得させられる反論は思いつかないな………

  • カッコばかりじゃね~kjファンさんごめんなさい。彼はかっこい­いですよ。歌もうまいし。でもこの曲は選ばなくてもよかったな~­惜しい!

  • he is good singer.

    I think it is good that the song reach people in this place.

    but, I am not saved in this singing voice.

  • ごめん。

    kjは好き。

    この場にいる人達に届いてれば、それでいいと思う。

    でも、この曲はこんなもんじゃない。

    俺はこの歌声では救われない。

  • Its an awesome video because you can tell the guy, even though he is japanese, really understands the depth of this song, sings it his way for a while, (he prounonces hand when he should say and.) he sings it very literally, but rocks it out at the end to put the crowd, so I bet that was a pretty sweet show.

  • Won't you help to sing?

    by bob marley

  • この曲だから英語のコメ多いのはわかるけど、批判ばっかで腹立つ­わ。

    He is japanese No1 singer.

  • jah man!

  • He's not nearly as bad as people made him out to be. I've heard worse covers by English speaking artists/bands (I'm looking at you Pearl Jam). Also he has an accent but I think it isn't difficult to understand what he is saying.

  • He is not triing to imitate Bob Marley..he is just interpreting a wonderfull song with is own style....and what the hell this is a "SONG OF FREEDOM" ... if you really are fans of Bob Marley you should open your mind a lil bit.

    Stay cool guys, stay cool...

    PS: i really would like to ear you all singing something in japanese.. That would be funny!

  • right on

  • He is spreading the message though.

  • He said

    " I will sing this song for the ROCK IN JAPAN( promoter of this event?) , the audience who stayed here for long, and friends who played rock together today"

    But why this song??

  • Big fan of dragon ash, but damn I have to tell it like it is, I couldn't understand a thing.

    Just stick to Japanese Kenji!

  • lol ruining a beautiful song,you are doing it right

  • damn this dude singing makes anyone want to sing and be a star

  • little quote...

    [What's with all of the negative comments? Has Bob's message gone completely over your heads? How can you call yourselves his fans and think you have the right to say what songs people can and cannot sing or cover? Go back and listen to Redemption Song until you have a clear, open mind that's empty of hate and discrimination. Kenji sings this as tribute, a celebration of music, and to spread the love. Anyone can sing songs of freedom

    .... anymore humanity in earth...

  • Rock In Japanと、最後まで待っててくれたあなた達と、今日ここで一­緒にRockを奏でた仲間達に歌います。

  • Oh God! It even get worse from 2:37

  • GOD HES BAD

  • somebody just shoot him

    he sucks

  • stop it is awful..

    he sucks man

    Bob Marley is a legend nobody can imitate him.

  • este pendejo es una mierda, please stop !!!!!

  • booooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oo

  • Avacalhou bem mal

  • 最高!!!!

    英語ばっかだな、ここは。kjのこと何も知らねー外国人がコメン­トしてんだろ。

  • Nicht jeder Mensch sollte Bob Marley nachmachen....

  • jeje ke raro..efectos de la globalixacion..buena song

  • he rlly sucks

  • good song!good arenge!

  • the fact that people all over the world no matter if theyre at a rock or reggae or what soever concert, sing this song is cool.

    I myself cant sing that song better but i praise and love the same message like we all do

  • wont you help me sing these songs of freedom? Please? We need every voice we can get. We should all spread the message, to every crowd, to every soul, because it's all we've ever had. Together, we can chant down Babylon, one more time... because the natural man, and the natural powers of man, will keep coming through, no matter what they do. Natty dread rides again through the mystics of tomorrow. Open your mind, have no fear, Stand up for your rights, and never pick and refuse. Do you hear me?

  • Bunch of haters and racists on a Redemption Song tribute video? Make absolutely no sense! Shut up and listen to the original version if you hate this so much. Might help you calm down and appreciate Kenji's intentions. Keep Marley's message alive Dragon Ash! Ignore these prejudice fools

  • We'll criticize coz he tried to hit us with a legend song. This song much more than this, this expresses the feeling of a person. More respect you damn cover boy.

  • holy god almighty are you freakin kidding me HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA­HAHA thats a good laugh

  • i hope you're talking about the comments.

  • and the music as well

  • and he doesn't know the lyrics... oh my god

  • NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­OOOO

    someone destroy this video!!!

  • i cant really hear the words... but this is goodxD im a muscisian and so i'd put this video as lets say 90%. Good work dude!

  • Don't criticize him! You don't know him.

  • Don't criticize him! You don't know him.

  • good!!!!

  • Do you know him who everyone is criticizing ?

  • What's with all of the negative comments? Has Bob's message gone completely over your heads? How can you call yourselves his fans and think you have the right to say what songs people can and cannot sing or cover? Go back and listen to Redemption Song until you have a clear, open mind that's empty of hate and discrimination. Kenji sings this as tribute, a celebration of music, and to spread the love. Anyone can sing songs of freedom. That's what it's all about!

    RIP Bob Marley, Love & Respect

  • I agree totally maybe not this one but some tributes the only English they know is the bob marley song there singing its about a message not about how good or bad we do its about deliverance i liked it how long shall they kill our prophets, good comments spasianz

  • @spasianz we do have the right to say who cant and can sing if they cant sing. and why are you speaking for bob marley? you cant just go listen to redemption song and then not be a racist or discriminate anymore. "thats what its all about" like you know what its all about. your not god. bldfkbas

  • Not very many people that will ever walk this earth are worry of doing a cover of Robert Nesta Marley

  • il suffit pas de mettre de la jouer a la guitare electrique pour faire rock'n roll.. C'est trop minimaliste pour une chanson mythique

  • bombaclat......how could disrespect the Legend??????

  • the guitar work isn't too bad until the last part, but the vocals aren't into it.

  • He's singing it all fucking wrong AND he's singing the text wrong.

  • omg, he raped the song

  • he sucks

  • the gay is just trying. he is doing his best to do something, which is not bad. by the just want you to know that most of the Japanese know Bob Marley and they love Reggae music....... got 2 go now brb

  • Hey listen guys, what had Bob Marley said, ONE LOVE n not ONE HATE... god bless Bob..

  • these fools can't even get their racial slurs right, he's japanese not korean. btw screw you haters Dragon Ash rocks!

  • i think i speak for everyone when i say " your a fucking idiot!"

  • i thought he covered the instrumental part very well. singing, not so much. And look at that crowd, looked like somewhere Bob Marley would preform.

  • silly gook.

  • reading these comments, i was expecting the absolute worst. it wasn't THAT bad.

  • venia mas o menos bien hasta que mando metal.... lastima

  • bien dicho, well said

  • JAH need to wake the fuck up...! BOB MARLEY inspired this little fellow...so rethink your shit..."RASTA IS THE FUTURE" ROBERT NESTA MARLEY

  • I think you guys are being a little too hard on him.

    The guy likes marley and wanted to honor him by playing one of his songs, regardless of how he sounds or what accents he may have, his intentions were honorable and appreciated by me, and I'm sure by marley.

  • i can't understand why you guys waste your time echoing the sentiments of others... does it make you feel special? i'm not saying this is a good cover, but i think KJ is just trying to give a little shout out to marley, not surpass or equal him musically. something to think about anyhow....

  • Dont sing Bob Marley if you not can. Marley is a legend forever! JAH!

  • wat a hater....

  • horrible

  • That was absolutly diobolical.

    Seriously. Dont sing Jamaican songs with a Japanese accent in English. Its just not right.

  • hey listen, what had Bob Marley said, ONE LOVE not ONE HATE.... and everybody can sing Bob Marley song..!

  • ive seen people on you tube who make worthy covers without a mic and a crappy piano. You guys have everything and are crap! Totally CRAP!

  • It really was terrible! He could have at least remembered the lyrics... But for future reference, please, please do NOT sing Bob Marley songs in "engrish"!!!!! Holy Crap. I'm a TERRIBLE singer and I could have done a better job (at least the timing and lyrics would have been right)!

  • WORST EVER!! And the words were wrong! You just suck all around!

  • check Miyavi Blew if you know the Nirvana song you'll piss yourself laughing at the lyrics

  • LMFAO!!! I'm all for covering Marley's songs live (after all it's not like there's an artist out there who will ever be a quarter of what he was) but damn, i would have gotten the hell out of this concert before Marley's spirit killed me.

  • you fuckin idiot....man that was terrible...never ever try to sing a song from the lord of reggae

  • That was terrible.

  • Great song. good TRIBUTE. One Love.

  • wat an idiot

  • that was wack

  • Wow,heavy abuse. It`s not that it`s a cover version, covers have their place, especially live when it`s not intended to be recorded and posted to the world. It`s not that he`s black/white/yellow whatever, Bob himself was a bit of a mix, and Dragon Ash are a decent band ( check Viva La Revolution ). It`s more that it`s just a dismal version .....so what ? You like it, enjoy; you don`t, move on. Be positive, be happy !

  • I shouldn't have fed the troll.

  • some of you guys are assholes that fact that a poor bob marley's word reached the whole world even in japan now japanese artist pay homage to a great man so grow up and respect the tribute

  • out of tune

  • DUMB

  • Check out my cover of this song

    *Click on my channel

  • i like that cover of redemption . Kenji is good. RIP

  • stilll.. ... peace :)

  • So many idiots in here. He didnt butcher the song that bad, its a FKn cover.. its supposed to have a rock sound to it... thats what happens when rock artists do covers.. and so many of you FKers are dissin Kenji for doing a TRIBUTE.

  • this guy just fucked up a good 1

  • sux

  • this is one of the songs that should never be touched - and this fella touched this song in a way which is illegal in everywere but alabama. kj deserves a through beating

  • dumb enough ya'll shmucks kept on saying he's white.

  • It's too bad this video has made us hate ourselves. I have read white, Japanese, Koren and I guess black in not so obvious terms. People! when will we stop hating each other? So, let anyone who want to sing BMW songs, in whatever language and style go ahead. Call it Unity in Music.

  • i am pissed off that i hear no BOOS in the audience.. what does this white boy know about what the meaning of this song..obv. nothing..

  • Why should you be pissed about what an audience did at a show that weren't even at. Your point has...well, no point. And, I'm sorry, I don't see any boys or any whites. And anyway, Marley was all for "one love" and, no doubt, he would not have minded other people adapting his music for their own cultures and tastes.

  • I can be pissed off all i want..and ur talking about a fukin opinion...not a point..just an expression idiot.. obviously u have no education or would'nt of even bothered fukin with my comment.. Piss off bitch. ANd for the record Marley is prob turnin in his grave to see this guy sounding horrible. this particular white boy doesn't know shit about it.

  • And last thing, my comment wasn't even a meant to insult you. But, okay, you want to take it somewhere else.

  • you said..ur point has no point..if that is not a straight insult ..then i dont know what is..lol..so..Don't start no shit ..won't be no shit..

  • No, it's called a debate not a slanging match.

  • lol..bitch..just go fall back..fall back to your hopes and dreams..and stop responding..obviously your not the artist you claim to be or you wouldn't be on here like that lookin at everyone else whos doin shit other than you..aww..lol..luckily im in an office..and i can sit here and browse the internet..Next year..i will have so much work..i won't be able to talk to idiots like you..aww.w i will miss you haha..dumb ass bitch.

  • ps- if you were a musician u would have ur shit up on here..and not that crap video..that sounds a mess... lol. . again.. you've become the laugh of the day here at work..lol.now..back to work..i go..lol because for me there is still hope when i graduate next year..i have a job waiting ..for you..almost 30 years old..well the possibility of landing ur dream job..its minimal..lol..

  • I am saying this particular white boy..or whatever he is .. ive heard white boys with soul..with love..this one..im just not feeling..

  • You know what, there's no need to resort to insults. I read your shorter one and decided I was going to resolve this little 'debate' by saying something along the lines of "each to his own and fair play, it's your opinion" but then I read your longer comment and you've called me an idiot and a bitch. And, by the way, Marley was a rastafarian, not a nit-picking music producer. And yes, I do have an education... I'm a working musician (playing reggae and soca) and I've got a degree. What now?

  • LOL..thats what everyone claims on youtube.. neva said marley was a nit picking music producer..so kiss my ass..again..im not asking about ur high school degree so again..piss off bitch.. You wouldn't be so worried about arguing with me..if you were a working musician..lol idiot. ..Good luck with ur "hopes and dreams".i hope they dont sound like this.lol..hope they become a reality so that you won't have to keep trying to be up my ass on you tube..and now..im a go back to reading my files.lol.

  • again..i say..everyone claims to be a musician..lol You must be horrible

  • What the...BOBBITO TURNING IN HIS GRAVE LAUGHING AT THIS ANIMAL.

  • nice.

  • Fucking garbage. Why the fuck is a white guy singing this song. Plus he's bad at it too.

    Piece of shit.

  • Guess what, idiot? White people bought Bob Marley's F#$%ing albums. He couldn't have done it w/o them. SEE YAAA!!!

  • first of all you ignorant foo s him nah white hes japanese second bob marley was half white so half a white man created this song and bob was all for one love not racism it just shows how these people follow bobs message in the fact that we are all one no reacism you people nah no nuttin of marley. rastafari

  • I would add that Bob collaborated with Rock and Punk artists at his time. I am sure he would like this version. Go Dragon Ash !

  • What a patetik comment ! Great Song Kj !

  • They are a few songs that should not be touched.This is one of them.Long live Bob.

  • Bob lives on though the various covers of his melodical genious. Let the fans sing their hearts out for the greatest influence in music today.

  • randypanda11 , hey grow up !!!

  • pathetically bad. what a poser/gobshite

  • Kenji is the FKn man. RIP Bob.

  • i honestly love this song and bob marley but this cover really does it no justice at all. in a way its emberassing to hear this cover especially when bob, ziggy, and joe strummer made such amazingly beautiful versions of the very same song.

  • I think this resembles Bob Marley's idea well enough. Also, I've heard the acoustic version sang by just Mr. Marley and it wasn't the music that inspires, it was the lyrics. He did a good job translating it to the crowd that wanted to listen, I think Mr Marley would be proud.

  • I think the real problem is that its a really poor cover, and does no justice to the song or Bob.

    One love

  • I can't believe some people are sad enough to COMPLAIN ABOUT A COVER SONG, He played a song, OH MY GOD THAT SHOCKING

  • I dont understand why everybody is hating on him. he is singing the song as a tribute. And for him to sing something by bob marley to a group of japanese people is just helping spread bobs message. so i dont know why you guys are talking so much crap about it.

  • i agree with u man.... ``love n piss``

  • this video sucks hard cock

  • How can this be better than the original?? Not to mention Bob sang that... if you ever find a COVER better than Bob tell me dude cause I don't believe it. Sure, it's ok and I won't say it sucks because he's Japanese and by no means sounds reggae, but still nothing that compares to Bob.

  • Japaneese people raped Koreans and Chineese and for that i will never forgive them even if they have bomb food

  • It's funny how somebody covering a Bob Marley song can inspire so much hate and anger. The guy just wanted to share the song's message--that's all. And what's he get for his trouble?  A bunch of haters and criticism. For all the hope and love Bob Marley tried to convey through his music, it seems like very little got through to the world. What a waste of skin the human race has become.

  • Im just pointing out the faults of Japanese people such as the Rape of Nanjing, The enslavement of Koreans, Koreas and Chinas mass deaths from war caused by Japan. I love Bob Marley and I love Jah it is my human qualities which hinder my true form of thought and is only a disturbance to what others view me as. But what i find funny is how i made a minor comment that hardly spawns any hate about this video and more about Japans history and you chastise me

  • randypanda11, is your comment directed at me? If so, what makes you think I am speaking directly to you. Go ahead and look at what other people wrote--my comment was inspired by several people, not just you. And by the way, not every Japanese person is guilty of raping and enslaving others. A small percentage of them did that. If you judged an entire people by the actions of few, then every culture and every nation on this planet would be guilty of raping,robbing, enslaving, etc

  • fuckin sheet...this japanese is very bad....and this guys is very famous band in japan...hes sing japanese hip hop...but I dont like this guys....Bob is unique....

  • gosssh

  • do me a favour and shove that piece of shit back up ure arse where it came from. its just disrespect to murder on of the finest songs ever written for a bit of applause off people who proberbly are incaperable of understanding what the fuck he is singing about. Next time nob'ead cover some aerosmith or something instead of stamping ure appauling mark on a classic. cunt.

  • So true, what a pathetic cover

  • are crazy to sing that?!

  • anyone that plays a song in respect and tribute is NOT a disgrace.. no matter how much different their version of the song is. Hell.. Kenji's version sounds better than the original. Kenji is the fuckin man!

  • I would like to say its a disgrace to Bob. I dont say the guy cannot play but its defenetly not its style and its so evident.

  • what the hell?!?!
