All movies of Ghibli I watched in japanese with subs(except for spirited away).The song in english(the normal version)is cute,but the japanese is better.But the "pop" version is complete trash
I agree I just think this bitch is a hater. Look way to much into there distortion of the voice. Everyone does it now. It was kinda techno. I love both verisons.
"I will show how the american [sic] version of the theme song destroyed the original song... ...in a BAD way!"
Question: is there any way to destroy something other than in a bad way?
Anyway, both songs are fine and charming in their own way. I've never seen anyone so personally offended (and so moved to be so offensive) by something so insignificant and arbitrary. Don't like the remix? Don't listen to it! (Or at the very least get the hell over it).
I will not shut up thank you very much but I will point out to you that your statement is opinion and therefore not a truth so it seems quite unreasonable to express it as such. For your information my son loves the song but can't sing along to the Japanese version. Would be so beligerent to a 4 year old?
i like all of them, but for different reasons:the original is adorable,the english translation is a lot better than most songs that were switched from japanese to english (in other words it could have been worse), and the remix is catchy (in my opion :D)
Man I agree with you, the American theme sucks, and the original Ico cover is crazy gorgeous, but your little comments come off as nerd rage in a pretty literal way. When I was in Japan I saw a lot of American cultural icons being peddled with stupid phrases on cheap imitation merchandise. I also can't tell you how many times I've sat in Asian restaurants and heard truly great American or British songs put the ringer that is J-Pop. Doesn't make me mad though. Art gets distorted between cultures.
Hey! This is the second song! Watch the show and you will see that they kept both songs! Stop trying to make people think that Americans ruin songs that are beautiful! I the the first song and the second song! SO WHATEVER!
Honestly, I do like the dubbed version. For one thing, what little kid or even adult, even if they got some good lyrics with it, would listen to the song if it was slow like the original? I love the original, but I do enjoy listening to the dub. Also, where do you see A LOT of emotion in the movie? I know it has some very adorable scenes, but the movie is fairly short and a tad anticlimactic. Compared to Spirited Away, although they have two different audiences, Ponyo was slightly boring.
oh yes, you're still getting comments lol, but I agree, the original version is better, but the americanised version appeals to the kids, my little sister loves the american version =( she is only 9 though
i watch the english version first and i loved the movie it just so awesome and the original version is alright (though i like the japanese version better) i HATE the remix they ruined the song all together
Proud to say I didn't have the heart to watch Ponyo in English and when it came out watched it with subs the entire day. `~` Yeah I'm cool like that. :D
I liked the first part though, it was more loyal to the original version. but yeah i snicked when i heard autotune XD why do they need to remix everything XD
I agree with you (even though the man singing in the Japanese version is not that good) But when I heard the American theme at the end I got a shock and burst into laughter even though the dubbing is good and all.
I like the non-remix version of just children's choir (and not auto-toned)...
but as you say...the american culture...could just be different to Japan's
I prefer the original as well but please, I have never seen so much whining over something so petty. They recorded a version true to the original that goes with the film. This is a remixed version unrelated to the film for the kids who -may- like it that way. If you don't like it, just forget it exists and build a bridge.
Um I'd just like to say that this is a remix. I saw the movie not too long ago and I did not hear this version. I heard the Frankie and Noah version of it and it sounded almost like the original version. God only knows how many dumbasses are going to bash me on that last comment and I honestly couldn't care less but in all honesty this version really isn't at all bad. Do I wish that they didn't do a pop-candy like remix in the first place? Yes. But c'mon people the songt isn't that big of adeal.
None of this was done to make money, because it was never in theaters. I agree though the second song sucks, but so does the first. Maybe listen to the Porco Rosso soundtrack, or Totoro or Princess Mononoke. Joe Hisaishi is way better than that idiot
im also an american ... and just for who doesnt know.. some americans dont live that way and all think that way only the money currupted, self indugled people. who dont want to take the time to see something for whats its truthy worth.<3
i will say that you make some good points in this video but everyone else commenting here has some as well. there was a better American version of that song but its just not as popular. honestly, i dont see the need for that remixed version and feel that they should have stuck to just making a direct translation, rather than trying to hype it up by advertising that one little part at the end
uhhhh thats not the them for the english movie thats the childrens version that can be heard on radio disney uh fail much? i do argree that japanese is better but uh bad evidence
I have to admit. I did like the english version. But I had never heard it any other way. Of course I love Japanese art so naturally I like the un-edited version better. You're right. They fucked it up, excuse my keyboard.
Uhm. They actually redid the original with out autotuning it. Then they made another version of it. Not that big of a deal since that's just what the industry does. The end song isn't what makes the money for the movie anyways. Take a chill pill dude.
Honestly, the remix blows. The english version sucks in general, but this is the remix.... :P And it's not rock. It's generic pop music that these two kids are exposed to through the horrible siblings that also use nothing but autotune and generic drumbeats. and yes, i wouldnt doubt it for a moment that Disney used them in order to make money and took this film and turned it into a money making scheme.
@lollisalol3 in a nutshell. But i do like their voices for the dub. I was watching the end credits and i heard just english lyrics to the original song and thought, at least it's not that crappy remix i heard. But no. Halfway through it transformed int that autotuned poppy thing. Sometimes (as they say on axis powers hetalia) America could do to stop being the asshole of the world.
Quit being so over-dramatic. So what that Disney decides to make one song into a pop one to appeal to a younger audience? You're acting like it's the end of the damn world. This one song doesn't make "America" as you call it, the "asshole of the world". They've added their own music to numerous Miyazaki films, go look at Kiki. They added singing there that was popular at the time. Same here.
Why can't they apresciate beyond fashion? If this movie was released 20 years ago, it would never do this idiot remix!
I've been to japan a year ago and they had lots of everything for all tastes, I've seen in Shibuya 109 all kinds of clothes and accessories for all tastes, princess, goth, kei, simple, etc.
Because there, everyone has their own style and learn how to appreciate a bit of everything, the way it was born to be appreciated NOT being stuck by ass fashion
@Pitikitty ...This is the remix dip shit. Go listen to the REAL english version. it still keeps that magical feeling alive. Oh and uhh, before you wanna insult america i suggest you learn to tell the difference between a remix and an original...and to stop stereotyping a nation.
Dude your an idiot, this movie was written and released in Japan at generally the same time because this is a DISNEY MOVIE! Don't believe me it's in the credits' plus if your gonna attempt to be a critic play the full version of both because the american has both sides to it the original with Noah Cyrus addition to it . I watch this movie every day with my daughter and she love's both version's of the song which are practically the fucking same. Stop being such an anti-american twat.
@BigSparky790 Yes Ponyo is a Disney movie but only because they got permission from Hayao Miyazaki Who is a Japanese director. My father went to Japan about a year before Ponyo came out in America and it was already out over there. Don't be a critic towards another critics when you don't even have your facts straight. P.S if you can't hear the difference in the songs I suggest you get your ears checked.
@BigSparky790 Ok, I see some of your arguments, but this is NOT a Disney movie. It is a Studio Ghibli movie distributed in the US under the Disney banner. Please have your facts correct. The only reason anything Disney related appears in the credits is that the Engllish translation was done through Disney. At most it is a collaboration.
while the Japanese version is DEFINITELY the most fitting, I like the contrast between the real song and the Americanized remix. It's good to hear two styles of the same sons
I cannot agree more with you... most things most remain in its original state... japanese songs and art must be kept... And if you think the American remixed version destroyed it... you should hear the Spanish (from spain) version... they changed voices pitch, rythm, tempo and everything too (even the lyrics)!! sadly they were using the same composition...
@DracoLicoi ._. seriously? I heard the spanish from spain version, and the only thing changed is the musical part of the end. They used a kid voice and an adult one, the tempo is the same, the harmony didn't changed...what are you talking about? And of course the changed the lyrics, to make it understandable to the spanish peolple. If we translate literally, the song loses a lot of sense in other languages. The translations never are exactly. Well, I think :S
@Em13Mily Believe me... I do use some music progras and play flute, so when I heard three versions (Japanese one, Spain Spanish one and Latinamerica Spanish one) I noticed that the Tempo of the Spain version is fastened... it doesn't match with the original... but the latinamerican one was exact the same tempo! it matched perfectly! even the voices are almost the same! and I was like O.o
Well the end with the video game covers has to do with the preference of the country. Most Japanese covers tend to show the landscape and artwork of the game, while the covers of most American video games tend to focus on the main characters, this is true for most video games, even those that dont originate from Japan.
@hartless726 they killed it in more ways than one. they made the characters look stupid, they changed the animation and above all they made ico look like a white american teenager while in the actual game he is a littl asian kid. and real truth is that the american cover just looks ugly. i mean with ff13 and the 3rd birthday they also focus on the characters but they do i well and it does look pretty, with this it just looks ugly and un original.
@Ganon575 Um, ok...no, visually the movie is identical to the Japanese version. The only difference is the translation/dubbed English speaking voices. The reason the child "looks white" is this is a popular form of drawing called manga/anime that usually portrays characters, regardless of ethic origin, as being Caucasian. There were no changes made to the art, script, or dialogue. Don't believe me? Check out Studio Ghibli's strict "no edit" policy regarding their work.
@jeibear not talking about ponyo. i'm talking about the ico video game cover. i read/watch manga and anime all the time and i know what your talking about. but i was talking about the ico video game cover.
@TetrisChemisttt remix or not, they totally missed what the song was supposed to portray. the song is supposed to show the feeling of the movie, which is cute and magical. not some electro-pop movie about a girl that has to prove herself or a guy who has to sing to get the girl of his dreams like all the disney shows now :/
I like this because i am not into rock and stuff,and it just works for people like me~ Noone agrees with me that Japanese is better than English,and i can live with that,but it makes me mad that they turned this adorable song into a flipping ROCK song!!
The song would have sounded better if they would've just sang it. Noah and Frankie sing GREAT together WITHOUT the tech stuff!!!! GRRRR i like both though!
This is very good! But The mai reason they "currupted" the japanese version is because japanese words are sometimes shorter then english words. For example, the word "baka" in japanese means stupid in the english language (Not trying to call anyone stupid here, just making a point :) But, see how "Baka" is shorter then the word stupid? So, if the japanese people use the same tune for english launguage, the song would be totally out of balance.
There's actually a NON-REMIX Ponyo theme song in english. The english non-remix version was very similar to the japanese version. The REMIX version (as shown in the video above) is absolutely awful, I agree. You're right, Disney did a lousy job trying to do a remix to such a cute and adorable song. But be aware, that there is another english version of the song, and it IS NOT remixed. I think the non-remix version did justice. :] So check it out.
I think the Japanese people are generally very nice people so your insulting comments over something so trivial as a “dance” version of the Ponyo song (which is not on our DVD of Ponyo anyway!) upsets the hell out of me!...
You’re being insulting to us Americans who spend millions on Japanese products. We don’t tell you, or any other country, what to do with anything you get from us so, stop dictating and insulting us or my next car will actually BE American!...
And stop listening to idiots who complain they don’t like the Japanese song. They’re stupid. Stop being stupid too. Also, I bought Ponyo for my family and they get the precious story totally – we’re not stupid.
the american version is so fast and edgy not in a good way (as you said before) all animes sound amazing in japanese and then the americans (when in english) sound far too american
I heard the japanese version and thought it was good then i heard the american version thinking wtf just happened? on top of that i just saw the last 2/3 of ponyo last night and thats not the ending song they used. and im glad it wasn't
@MrMetalHeadGamer -- Shut your fucking mouth since you don't know what you're talking about! YOU are the bastard here have some respect!!! If we didn't respect Japanese animation or music WHY THE FUCK DO WE BUY SO MUCH OF IT?
@sparkle11231 At least, in Europe, we don't rip off theme songs with some crappy teeange pop music bullshit, we love and respect Japanese animation, music and also dubbing more than you'll ever do
@MrMetalHeadGamer - Here in the States we love anime, you can't seem to get that through your anti-American swiss cheese brain (how do you like it!) What makes you think every American likes the same thing anyway? I don't particularly like the teenage pop stuff - but I won't put it down because other people DO like it! As far as ripping off music or anything else, other countries have been copying American music, movies, etc -- and we have no problem with it. YOU do.
I know when I saw it was completely ruined by the song. The japanese version is so much better. I mean, in the american version, they say "she's a little girl with a round tummy!" i dont know why disney decided to wreck studio ghibli.
So? Is it so strange that popular foreign films are adapted for the audience to which they will be presented. Kids went nuts for that song in America because, as evil as it may sound, it appeals to the culture with which they identify most. In this case, American pop-culture. There's nothing to condemn here. If you prefer the Japanese version, than enjoy it! But there is no reason to down other's tastes or the way in which they receive the heart of the film best.
I agree with you all the way. I HATE the English remix... thing.... it doesn't fit at all. Disney is just trying to keep it up to date with the music all 'cool' and 'hip hop' but ends up failing miserably. It doesn't even fit the whole childish factor of the movie. The Autotune use in the song made me constantly rewind and listen to the first part due to how terrible it was. But that's my opinion.
OK I have to admit the english version is catchy BUT it's nothing like it should be!! D: It needs to be cute and emotional just as you said D: I'm not hating on the english version it's very catchy but it doesn't go with the movie ):
This makes total sense... I love this vid you are awesome. Ok here is a message for anyone else reading this; if the Japanese version doesn’t reach out to you then go the English non-remixed version. It’s touching magical and emotional, and they don’t doctor their voices. Its natural and innocent, like this song is supposed to be. Beautiful...
well in americal magical is techno and stuff (tho personaly i hated the american version somthing was just off when i saw it thank god for torrenting ponyo jap
oh and just so u know Hayao Miyazaki is dead and his son made ponyo, the remix ur bitching bout is a special feature on the american version but is played during the end credits.....i just watched it again, im in love with this film and only watch the english version cause im to lazy to read subtittles, though if any one wants to take the time to notice how different the translations are......almost tells a different story...
@NadiaEveStudio oh so what do u know he is, my bad really, is what i got told by a shit load of people, well i have to say for once im happy to be corrected XD sorry
@lovesweetPANDA oh so what do u know he is, my bad really, is what i got told by a shit load of people, well i have to say for once im happy to be corrected XD sorry
oh and also what has ICO anything to do with Ponyo, just because the covers are different doesn't change the game, Other countries make different covers for movies and games too, big deal!
you DO realise that the remix was just a bonus feature, they had your 'soothing piano' version in english as well, maybe you should actually WATCH the movie before making an entire VIDEO complaining about it!
Im sorry this is COMPLETE BULLSHIT, the american verison YOU ALL HEARD IS THE REMIX, yes you heard me, REMIX!, not the original, if you heard the movie you would HEAR THE ORIGINAL, go fuckin look it up, they DID NOT ruin the song, you did, yes I agree the remix SUCKS but how you put it was that was the original and next time I hope you add in the video that its the REMIX, NOT ORIGINAL. don't believe it is?, look it up fellow ponyo fans.
hahaha ^^ you'r so RIGHT! I freakin hate this american version of the theme. American TV is also stupid just as their idiotic news. Oh. My. God. They'r trying ot make a "show" out of everything in NO subtle way.
Wow, I'm completely adoring the racism I'm seeing all over this video towards Americans. I thought *we* were supposed to be the intolerant ones? I'm American, I love learning about other cultures and I think Japanese culture is beautiful. You guys are all more close-minded than me. :/
Anyway, that wasn't even the actual English version, it was the poorly done remix. Learn before raging.
@12rscott chill dude, just because one person from possibly another country says something that may seem closed-minded, s/he does not represent everyone else that's not American.
and you do not represent every American. And even if others did not know it was a remix, just ignore them, not worth spending your time to make trolls/idiots happy.
I don't know whether you're just trolling or not but I do hope I'm not feeding a troll. ...crap
.but i remember in DBZ(i'm not a fan...)the casted a white guy to play goku..even his name is asian!and i'm not saying all americans are stupid but most of them are..for example try coparin manga and manhwa whit euro manga and anirikan manga...poor, even thou the euro manga-ka ""shonen'' is a realy good artist....
i totaly agree whit you(i'm bulgarian btw)..in bulgaria we only dub the anime not the songs and anywas......death to all cyrus and jonas and bieber and oh ya amerikanns don't get ponyo and japanese cuz' they don't even bother to try getting the japanese culture, they hava to ""westernize'' everithing...they have some good cartoons.
I know this vid was made a while ago but I agree that the jonas brothers song or whoever did it is quite terrible. They can't even pronounce her name right...
This remix was used only in the trailers...it's not even in the credits of the English version, I don't think...although you probably already know that, now that everyone's told you. ^^; Anyway, I like both versions, they're both catchy/cute/whatever in their own way. Also, the line about hating your voice means you hate yourself...not entirely true; I despise my voice, I sound like a chain smoker. XD Doesn't mean I hate myself for it, though.

@lollisalol3 in a nutshell. But i do like their voices for the dub. I was watching the end credits and i heard just english lyrics to the original song and thought, at least it's not that crappy remix i heard. But no. Halfway through it transformed int that autotuned poppy thing. Sometimes (as they say on axis powers hetalia) America could do to stop being the asshole of the world.

Quit being so over-dramatic. So what that Disney decides to make one song into a pop one to appeal to a younger audience? You're acting like it's the end of the damn world. This one song doesn't make "America" as you call it, the "asshole of the world". They've added their own music to numerous Miyazaki films, go look at Kiki. They added singing there that was popular at the time. Same here.

Why you so stupid americans?
Why can't they apresciate beyond fashion? If this movie was released 20 years ago, it would never do this idiot remix!
I've been to japan a year ago and they had lots of everything for all tastes, I've seen in Shibuya 109 all kinds of clothes and accessories for all tastes, princess, goth, kei, simple, etc.
Because there, everyone has their own style and learn how to appreciate a bit of everything, the way it was born to be appreciated NOT being stuck by ass fashion

Dude your an idiot, this movie was written and released in Japan at generally the same time because this is a DISNEY MOVIE! Don't believe me it's in the credits' plus if your gonna attempt to be a critic play the full version of both because the american has both sides to it the original with Noah Cyrus addition to it . I watch this movie every day with my daughter and she love's both version's of the song which are practically the fucking same. Stop being such an anti-american twat.
BigSparky790 7 months ago
@BigSparky790 Yes Ponyo is a Disney movie but only because they got permission from Hayao Miyazaki Who is a Japanese director. My father went to Japan about a year before Ponyo came out in America and it was already out over there. Don't be a critic towards another critics when you don't even have your facts straight. P.S if you can't hear the difference in the songs I suggest you get your ears checked.
Bamitsjeni 7 months ago
@BigSparky790 Ok, I see some of your arguments, but this is NOT a Disney movie. It is a Studio Ghibli movie distributed in the US under the Disney banner. Please have your facts correct. The only reason anything Disney related appears in the credits is that the Engllish translation was done through Disney. At most it is a collaboration.

Okay, I see your point. But it is a remix.
Also, they did the voicings with Miyazaki, so he must've gave the thumbs up.
But I could be wrong. Either way, all country's have their certain music. But I do prefer the Japanese one, it is so much better.

I cannot agree more with you... most things most remain in its original state... japanese songs and art must be kept... And if you think the American remixed version destroyed it... you should hear the Spanish (from spain) version... they changed voices pitch, rythm, tempo and everything too (even the lyrics)!! sadly they were using the same composition...
DracoLicoi 8 months ago
@DracoLicoi ._. seriously? I heard the spanish from spain version, and the only thing changed is the musical part of the end. They used a kid voice and an adult one, the tempo is the same, the harmony didn't changed...what are you talking about? And of course the changed the lyrics, to make it understandable to the spanish peolple. If we translate literally, the song loses a lot of sense in other languages. The translations never are exactly. Well, I think :S

@Em13Mily Believe me...

Well the end with the video game covers has to do with the preference of the country. Most Japanese covers tend to show the landscape and artwork of the game, while the covers of most American video games tend to focus on the main characters, this is true for most video games, even those that dont originate from Japan.
hartless726 8 months ago
@hartless726 they killed it in more ways than one. they made the characters look stupid, they changed the animation and above all they made ico look like a white american teenager while in the actual game he is a littl asian kid. and real truth is that the american cover just looks ugly. i mean with ff13 and the 3rd birthday they also focus on the characters but they do i well and it does look pretty, with this it just looks ugly and un original.
Ganon575 8 months ago
@Ganon575 Um, ok...no, visually the movie is identical to the Japanese version. The only difference is the translation/dubbed English speaking voices. The reason the child "looks white" is this is a popular form of drawing called manga/anime that usually portrays characters, regardless of ethic origin, as being Caucasian. There were no changes made to the art, script, or dialogue. Don't believe me? Check out Studio Ghibli's strict "no edit" policy regarding their work.

SamiiSquirt 8 months ago
This is very good! But The mai reason they "currupted" the japanese version is because japanese words are sometimes shorter then english words. For example, the word "baka" in japanese means stupid in the english language (Not trying to call anyone stupid here, just making a point :) But, see how "Baka" is shorter then the word stupid? So, if the japanese people use the same tune for english launguage, the song would be totally out of balance.

There's actually a NON-REMIX Ponyo theme song in english. The english non-remix version was very similar to the japanese version. The REMIX version (as shown in the video above) is absolutely awful, I agree. You're right, Disney did a lousy job trying to do a remix to such a cute and adorable song. But be aware, that there is another english version of the song, and it IS NOT remixed. I think the non-remix version did justice. :] So check it out.

So? Is it so strange that popular foreign films are adapted for the audience to which they will be presented. Kids went nuts for that song in America because, as evil as it may sound, it appeals to the culture with which they identify most. In this case, American pop-culture. There's nothing to condemn here. If you prefer the Japanese version, than enjoy it! But there is no reason to down other's tastes or the way in which they receive the heart of the film best.
Ezekiel34654 9 months ago
I agree with you all the way. I HATE the English remix... thing.... it doesn't fit at all. Disney is just trying to keep it up to date with the music all 'cool' and 'hip hop' but ends up failing miserably. It doesn't even fit the whole childish factor of the movie. The Autotune use in the song made me constantly rewind and listen to the first part due to how terrible it was. But that's my opinion.

After watching this movie, I would have to say the second theme song fits quite well.
there is nothing overtly whimsical or peacful about Ponyo.
she's an energetic go getter,
and im sure if you listen to the second sample of the music and picture the way she runs on the back of the water spirits to catch Saski,
the way she throws herself at tasks like a little stick of dinamite.
you will agree it fits perfectly.
ps.- its not rock music, .. its pop.
