English Version: Flavor of Life - Utada Hikaru

[jules0julz007]

for advice as i aslo sing use more air in your stomach i could hear your throat in some parts. but really when your singing its all about air. but this was post sometime ago so i dont know how much you have progressed in your voice. try singing standing up next time focus on your air :) im not trying to be rude im just giving advice. you sound like me sometimes when i make mistakes in my voice lol as singer to singer. :)

[BustaB9]

luv it!!!!

[ricansurf]

beautifully done!!!!

[jhenlockheart11]

ukie ^___________^

[Purity313]

very good work! i'm very jealous that you can understand japanese ! (;

[dyman86]

nice, the first good englisch version that i have heard, the truth is i like the original version better, maybe i would have liked it more if that video was in better quality, so try again and convince me

[gorillabear77]

oh my god, you are an amazing singer. you needa sing more :D

[FailingFair]

:3

mmmmmm, I think you should record this with a mike or something (camera sound quality is never that great..) and then make it download-able. because I like this song. [:

[Jokrd00d]

hmm...that was kewl loved yur vocals in here

[JapaniseFan01]

yeah its really good i just like to sing the japanese version better x3 and this song isnt hard to sing at all its an easy one ö.ö @ jordysaurus

[4dbrawler]

that was pretty nice Kina7. I'd imagine such high pitched notes aren't too easy

[chibihara]

r these the actual english lyrics translated?

[kina7]

@chibihara They're the translation that was made to fit the music nicer :)

[flowerpotcat]

I think you're cool. Keep practicing and you'll nail it to the T!

I don't speak Japanese but the way you translated the lyrics is quite good. Keep it up and thanks for sharing!

[cryman09]

i love it but i hope with lyrics it is nice song very very

[KeybladeClaymore]

[sammy90girl]

bravissima!! bellissima voce!

[tubxeeb91]

[AsianNerdify]

hey it sounds nice. do u think u can make one w/ subtitles so i can learn it too :D

[XElwormoX]

thanks 4 translating! .D

[Iceman224]

hmm, try not to sing so breathy, and open up your throat so you dont have to sing in that head voice, its really off tune and you should try to practice your vibrato

[Skysthelimit212]

wow! great job!

[CoolPacket]

WOW! Awesome ^^

[penelopypiggy23]

I love your lyrics but not to be rude ... try working on the vocals ... hehe

[scooternak53]

[kraixinxthexdark]

Your English isn't that great either, so isn't that a bit hypocritical?

[chocludordust]

shrill and sharp...a bit hard on the ears. the guy sounded better

[babienunu]

hrm.. your sound good.. it's that

the speakers where you

were recording couldn't take that much

tone in.. so yea...

you would want t try and put the mic or cam. a lil farther awys.. ^-^

[alissard67]

u sing good ^-^  that was really creative

[JackieDeBurg]

This is actually a really good language adaption. I'm really impressed!

Just work to make sure you stay on pitch.

[SarrahAcker]

You did a very good job on this, If you keep working on your voice I bet you can hit any note you want to =3 The lyrics are better then anyother that I have seen.

[redbarahime]

very good lyrics adaption! thanks! you need to exersise a little more on high notes, but it was all in all great!

[HanaYoriDango234]

not 2 be mean, but ur english accent is like someone who trys 2 speak english for the first time

[neckereien]

I really like the english lyrics you made. I might borrow them sometime ^.^

[syukotsuwolf]

[VyrenRiede]

i was wondering if you were singing through your throat, diaphragm, or nose... i sing and i reckon you're pretty good. just that the stupid recornding muffled your voice up. but that can't be helped x]. i like your lyrics, very nicely done =]. good job!

[lhgqzt092]

[gransebi1983]

very good !! i like your version

[darkriku0]

i think this is much better than roflwafflelova, i think he sucks.

keep it up!

[Arsenal1508]

Voice is too squeaky

[midniteGirl]

great job done (:

The frustration is driving me mad, oh baby why I don't know..

What can I do about this "baby"?- you went slightly off (:

hmm... but i think that part can be improved a teensy bit.

"like a seed who awaits the day to bloom"

you moved from low to high too fast. it was very abrupt.

BUT it was really good overall!

[pimpinB937]

sounds like your chocking on a hair of a ball sack

[shiiyunn]

i prefer RoflWaffleLova's version =x

[Ichig06]

Aww hey I'm in the credit! haha. how neat. Good job btw, nice lyrics, more smooth!

[FatesGaurd]

nice job =]

[DrkMisstress]

Get a new mic. no offense but your voice doesn't really fit this song.

[narutogirl092]

You are so good !!!love your voice !!!!!

[doctorkozi]

Bravissima!!! :D

[Oparoel]

The english version sounds better, since you got a higher tone becaus the jap version got the song and tone hiden, as i would say your speach on the japanese langue should get a bit better. If you fix that then it will sound godly! /From your honest and loved critican Oparoel! :D

[tokyosweetmintmaker]

thenx

[crappycaller]

thanks for the english lyrics..your lyrics fits the melody compared to other interpretation..please make more..thanks :)

[annieebo0]

beautiful voice grl :]

[oidprospector]

Thank you so much for posting this. When i was an exchange student in Japan, I heard this song and I roughly got the meaning of the chorus ,but the rest I didn't understand. I could understand the feeling of the song,but not the meaning exactly. Finally knowing what it was all about takes me back to that time. Really thank you, you really did a good job and made my day much better.

[kina7]

aww thanks for that :D

[mokakeiche]

Good job both writing the lyrics and singing =]

[sakuritax0001]

i think u sound cool ^^lol

[serenitymoon18]

this was good keep goin! Can U do One for Sakura Drops please!!!!!!!!!!

[HinataButterflyChan]

not...not naught

[kina7]

well when i first wrote it, it sounded better with naught, but then i realised not worked too :)

[legendarysim]

I like how your translation is more English appropriate than Roflguydude lol. But you need a better microphone.

[kina7]

lol! I like dhow you said that "rofl guy dude" :P

hmm yeh I've tried the mic thing.. if I did that I can't get the music to work with it properly.. it takes more work but I can try :)

[legendarysim]

What are you recoding into. I may be able to help you.

[Poofr]

If you use a multitrack recorder like "Audacity" you can record the voice and then mix with the music later.

Actually if you don mind, I can do it for you in a jeepy(like in 10 ninutes) yea, its THAT~ EASY~ LOL

[kina7]

ah lol i c, but I'm recording with a camera..

it's more annoying to synch it all together

ie - webcam+audio+vocal

[tifoa]

Whoa.. i know the most like translation of the song. But the way you rewrote it makes my eyes fill tears.. like the jap one (L) love it! great job=] and i see you have your exams so goodluck=]

[tifoa]

(ps) especialy:

When you said what's wrong I replied

and I said it's nothing

Then I smiled and walked away

I know that just not me,

that old me wouldn't fake a smile

she would turn and the face pain.

Really.

[kina7]

:D glad you liked it!

I put in a bit of myself and makino tsukushi from hanayori dango there :)

[darkshowdo]

Wow Very Good Kina, One my favorite songs by Utada,

This was Excellent, Keep up the Great Work, and Singing, Hope You Do Good on your Exam's,

<3 Kina

[kina7]
