『rockleetist 』 Dog Day Afternoon (English)

[OceanWish]

Awww it made me cry v.v it was such a sweet and cute song!!!! I never had a friend like that, always wanted one in my childhood. But I was always alone. lol

[Mangafreak4897]

This reminds me of someone special......I wanna cry *sniff*

[cddmanful]

VERY good dub! Did you also do the translation? It sounded like that in the description... Anyway, it works!

[AyShanxT]

Don't look at me! *sniffle* I'm not crying! I'm just sweating through my eyes!... T.T OTL orz

[ThornHeart101]

@MabinogiKittyChan i did x3

[ThornHeart101]

this made me think of my friend who went to florida over break,i miss her...she better message me on facebook soon or i will start crying,or get her butt back here...

[KivikUndersn]

It's kinda funny, before I watched this video today, I actually got called to an alumni focus group for an old studio I worked for years ago... And I got to see everyone that I couldn't do without, just people I never thought I'd see again. So this song actually fits the mood I was in all day.

[OtakuAme]

the person this made me think of should hurry up and move back so i can hug him again... i need a freakin hug already...

[XxKittyxGirlxX]

@OtakuAme I know how you feel, I have someone I miss as well.....Would you care for a E-hug? (^w^)

[OtakuAme]

@XxKittyxGirlxX i would love an e-hug. i'll give you one too *huggies*

[katie4kittens]

:) reminds me of the childhood that every one should have.

[MabinogiKittyChan]

usually im VERY against people fandubbing vocaloid music but this sounds awsum x3

have u put any thought into becoming a vocaloid? lolz x3

[MabinogiKittyChan]

who shouted "RODA RORA" when you saw the road roller? x3

[darkira45]

[xWildtalon96x]

I've always hated English versions of Vocaloid songs

until I heard this <3

[Sakuto2]

reminds me when i was a kid with my friends, always pretending we had super powers(who am i kidding, we still do occasionally)

[brocklesnarufcchamp1]

the tune is amazing!!

[DeathTheKimiko]

THIS IS THE SWEETEST EFFING SONG I HAVE EVER BLOODY WELL HEARD! IF I SOUND MAD, ITS BECAUSE IT ALMOST MADE ME CRY, AND NOW I HAVE A SLIGHT HEADACHE! CURSE YOU FOR SOUNDING SO BEAUTIFUL!

[theworldcantstopme]

1. cry

2.think of a special friend that you can no longer be with

3. sing along

[Sk8erPrinceGG]

@theworldcantstopme

None of the above.

It only made me download it and play it on my phone while I'm out.

[theworldcantstopme]

@Sk8erPrinceGG lol yeah its an awesome song i would have it as my ringtone but the whole song is so awesome i cant decide which part to have

[Sakuto2]

@theworldcantstopme i used 3:16-3:48

[IHKFnew]

[theworldcantstopme]

@IHKFnew yeah, i know right

[KivikUndersn]

@theworldcantstopme What about all of the above?

[talsajstar]

@theworldcantstopme

I-it doesn't count as crying if tears don't spill over my eyelids!

But it does make me sing along.

[egenin]

your voice is pretty..

<3 I remember

[RieokoKibi]

i wish that i could sing like that and your lyrics r so accurate (i speak alot of japaness but i don't no the full launguage) so i think u r amazing i cood never sing and post the song on the internet. sorry bout any misspelled words

[Marchbabi14]

Its funny how she KILLS HIM!! DX but honestly, I love your voice!! Me and my friends have watched you forever and we love it when you hit those high notes. I was wondering if you could dub over servant of evil? Its my favorite one X3 I LOVE YOU!!! -glomp!-

[DarkenedMagicWitch]

omg you should sing lots more of the vocaloid songs :D i luv ur singing

[WindKard]

Your dub of this song is so good, it's inspired me to try and learn this on guitar

[MoonlightWolfPack]

I love every video you've ever done. This one is one of my favorites. Just to make a suggestion for a less known song which is still great, in my eyes- You should try Festival Of Asylum some time :)

[BDMC96]

This animation is different from the original. Do you do your own animations?

[rockleeisthebomb]

Wow. Reminds me of my best friend of 13 years. Such happy childhood memories..:)

[RazellBerii]

This song is so good! Especially with your voice! I love the lyrics to, mostly how you incorperated childrens games :) like red rover.

[KingZeoX]

All my good memories colliding with my hopes and dreams. This is great and reflects the emotion of young love rather well. Now if only everyone's lives could be as good as listening to this song. Heck that'd be as close to perfect the world will ever get!

[BigMistake1000]

hey look, 11 people must have been smiling so hard that there hand slipped and the by accidentally pressed the dislike button.

[lovemydaughter85]

11 people dont want to have a dog day afternoon

[xBakyurax]

You don't know how much this song literally lite up my life. Literally all the little games added into the lyrics made it so much more cuter.

"Laughing, playing games and saying 'Red Rover why don't you come over!"

"Running through those feilds of flowers, pretending we had super powers!

Leaping puddles, no more frowns. While 'London bridges all fall down."

"Always, won't you please remember the smiling days we spent together. When 'Jack and Jill went up the hill."

Thank you for doing this. <3

[xSugarNomsx]

11 people didn't remember ;n;

[lovemydaughter85]

@xSugarNomsx Yours is way better than mine. XD

[xellaya]

Keep up the great work! ^.^

[BossyEditorSan]

So well done! I never really had a friend as a child that would run around with me like that. Although if I knew my best friend like 10 year ago, maybe. Lol we're kinda like Rin and Len when they're portraited as friends, excepted we're not all coupely.

If you did at least one of the "of evil" series songs you'd make me so happy! If you already have it in motion, thanks!

[AnimeMangaFanGirl7]

I really do love this song. This reminds me when I was back in second grade. I had a friend named Eric and we used to always pretend we were Superman and Superwoman. Then we would play TMNT and PPG. He only liked PPG cuz I liked it so that made me happy, but then I moved to the other side of Texas and now I'm in Virginia and haven't seen him since. This song is so beautiful and really makes you remember your childhood & the good times you had with old friends.

Thank you for making this song.

[kokeshidesu]

ur quite popular as a vocaloid dubber

[Kittyrox44]

This song makes me cry T^T I used to have a friend like that. When we were children we would play all sorts of games like in the video on this one hill...but then I moved away and never saw him again...You have a very nice voice and it fits this song to a tee.

[kidikokurada]

this really is a very pretty song! and your voice absolutely puts it in sync! I hadn't heard this one before but I just listened to it and I think you surpassed the originals once again ^^ You are so talented!

[cheerypup]

[puppylover091]

Yesterday I finally was able to get in touch with him. xD This song kinda made me do it...so thanks. Great voice! It soundsso professional. I though this was the official english version. ^^

You're really talented. Keep singing! :D

[animeotaku1231]

[AnimeFreakish78]

thank you so much for singing this song, this has truly touched my heart, and if i am to ever have a most peaceful, happy moment in my life, it would be laying down listening to this very song.

song so perfectly that to bring me to tears.

i'm looking forward to more releases from you, and good luck in your other songs.

[twilight0saga0freak]

u ROK!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[happymage23]

Beautiful beyond words!

[AnimeSinger12]

Can I try to sing it too?

[Xanthera]

5/5! I love this!

Your voice is gorgeous (I love your vibrato) and your lyrics are brilliant. I especially enjoyed the rhyming. And bonus points for giving some much needed love to Dog Day Afternoon. <3

Also, It's worth noting that by 3:30 I was crying. Your voice and lyrics are just that beautiful. It really brought back memories of summers as a kid, which was the whole point of the song, and you did an wonderful job conveying that message.

Once again, this is amazing and I love it.

-Xan

[rockleetist]

Thank you! I love technical feedback! I appreciate it!

[TheBunnygoboom]

@rockleetist your so cool . :)

[rivriv101]

@rockleetist by the part where it says "oh how time slipped away while our playdays fade always wont you plaese remeber the smiling days we spent together when jack and jill went up the hill happiness that lasts forever" that part got me but what made tears come to my eyes was "it matters not how far apart that my heart beats from yours" that made me cry and then when he hugged her my tears didn't stop flowing and i could not stop smiling

[VeadaTheBat]

I don't delete your songs to make room on my MP3, I delete songs to make room for yours! Kepp singing ma'am

[Pikachukun97]

YOU SING SO PRETTY!

I wish I could sing like you...

[TheLemonsandLimes]

hmm...seems that im having trouble with downloading this...

[TheLemonsandLimes]

This is going on meh mp3 XP and i would love it if you allowed me to use these dubbed lyrucs too make a video? and i have a request....World is mine by hatsune miku english dub? Please?

[RayneMarie]

Guess who's voice has taken over my MP3 player! <3

[aquashadowcat]

maybe the same one that has taken over mine?

[RayneMarie]

Moat likely! xD

[TetoKasane101]

hey i love this song can i please use ur lyrics

[FrostbittenHero]

Dear Lady rockleetist,

I love you. Your voice. And all the songs you dubbed. You have talent - a wonderful thing.

Alice human sacrifice has become ever so scary, this one - ever so sweet, 'Love is war' lacks a bit of yan-yan from the yandere department, but it's great none the less.

Sincerely,

Not Jack Frost

[rockleetist]

Thank you!

[enter0title0here]

i love all or your videos! :D

my bad-

*adore* all your videos!

[Judge0078]

Another 5 stars

[SKSPDA]

I don't think many vocaloid songs translate to english very well in terms of how the lyrics fit to the rhythm and melody, but this is one of the few that do seem to work. :D

[icetoph]

wow your awsome can i have ur voice heh sorry omg ur awsome are u famous? sorry ur just so awsomme!!!

[EmeraldDynasty]

not yet. ;)

[Aquatwin22]

wow......you are great at singing....I can't believe how good you are.....

[iMuhahaha]

Rin and Len are adorable together :D

[CirqueDuFreakfreak1]

@iMuhahaha I know. I don't care if they are brother and sister (wait are they one time I heard someone say they were just copies of each other only one was male and one was female but they weren't related)

[iMuhahaha]

@CirqueDuFreakfreak1

:] Len and Rin are related to each other depending on the PV they are in. For example, in Dog Day Afternoon, they are refer to as siblings and in KoKoRo/Kiseki, they are refer to as robot and scientist.

[Eduxblaze]

This song reminds me of when my cousin and I were younger and we used to play all kinds of games.

And now we hardly get the chance to see each other since we're older.

Your voice is amazing!.

[RayneMarie]

This song is so sweet it makes me want to cry. xD I love it!

[kairi898]

Gah! I want to do a dub of this so bad! Haha

But it wouldn't be half as good as yours. Maybe I'll do spice. =3

[harryhermy4ever]

so adorable!! <3

[llaamah]

So sweet and cute!! I loved thiss!!!!

[GothChick333]

ahhhh kawaiii!!!!!!!!!!! :3 ahh beautiful ^-^

[fuciaesper]

This is so fluffy<3 xD

I love it~!!!

You sang it PERFECTLY.

[animelover1115]

when you recover can you dub kokoro?

[wolfgirl992]

Could you do Kagome kagome?

[annechan129]

your English cover is better than the original Japansese. ^^

[xxmyonlyfearxx]

You're voice is so amazing!! I first heard your english version of Alice Human Sacrafice. Thanks for doing such an amazing job on all the songs!!^^

[LuvaGrlNya]

^^ Hope your recovery goes smooth!

And everytime you upload something, I can't believe how smooth and pure your voice is! xD

Nice work on this! ^^

[RaiMidori]

The first thing I noticed was just how skillfully the lyrics were rewritten. You definitely have talent, and on top of that, your voice is clear, refined and confident. It's been a long time since I've heard such a wonderful Vocaloid dub!

I was waiting to hear something else from you, and I definitely wasn't disappointed.

I hope you recover soon from your surgery- until then, rest up and take care of yourself!

[rockleetist]

Thank you! I work hard on my English lyric adaptations. It's important to me that I never lose context or concept from the original. I keep it as close as I can.

[Twilight14Vampire]

so....cute.... o.o"

[hoSNAPrens]

Ahhhh! The lyrics are SO ADORABLE! I think they really do capture the meaning of an ideal "Dog Day Afternoon," so that's excellent!

Your voice is very pure-sounding and very well-trained, which makes the meaning appeal to others even more! c:

Thank you thank you for dubbing! <3 It was a pleasure hearing your lovely voice~

(and get well soon!)

[rockleetist]

Thank you for the kind comment! It's little notations like this that make me smile.

[KitttyNeko14]

This is the first time I've heard of this song. This song reminds me of my long-lost little brothers<3

Great job! And I hope you recover soon:3 Best of luck!

[xXZynaXx]

Stitches in your mouth. Ouch. I hope you'll feel better soon.

And thank you for delivering such a pretty cover of this song. I love how your lyrics include childhood games and songs.

Though I split my side remembering "red rover" that game can get so violent.

[Riana1991]

omg that was amazing. Favorited. lol. I hope your recovery goes well. I'm looking forward to your next video! Good luck

[KuwabaraAgain]

Holy crap! Its like the entirety of childhood crammed into a song! Very nice work here!

[sakura1406]

I have never actually heard this song before!I'm glad i got to hear you sing it first!C:

[AniDex]

<3333 So cuuute!

XD How much sleep did you even get after posting this up this morning?

[rockleetist]

3 hours.

[xzerulx91]

I've never heard this song before...

The song was very pleasing, leaving me smiling widely.

Great job. :)

[SurikuKat]

How come I haven't heard of this song? :O

I've notice that you put a lot of emotion in your singing; it makes the person listening think deeply about the inner meaning of the song. :3

[SurikuKat]

Oh, yeah, and I hope you recover soon! ^_^

[I can't believe I forgot to say that...]

*Punches self*

[rockleetist]

Haha, thank you very much for the well wish.

[cqallenwalker]

Was it wisdom teeth? Anyway, the english adaptations you made to the song works. I think if someone like disney made a dub for it, they would have done it like that too. Good work as always.

[rockleetist]

It was, with a mid-surgery complication which involved a bone chisel and my jaw.

I would be okay with that. Disney does Ghibli Studios, afterall. ♥

[cqallenwalker]

Ow. I had mine out a few months ago. Bone chisel+ Rockleetist's jaw= FAIL. XD Also, thats cool that you like Ghibli Studios as well. I was thinking of that when I made the post.

[PockyBebop]

This is the first time I've heard this song and, if I didn't look at the info, I wouldn't have know that this is a Vocaloid song. The sweetness of the vocals really help bring out the instruments. Excellent work, and I wish you a swift recovery from your oral surgery.

[kairikittien]

So beautiful and lovely. (and not to mention adorable!)

I hope you recover from that surgery soon

[PreyunChan]

My first time hearing this song and I think it's beautiful!

I hope you recover from your surgery :D

[ShinigamiEyed]

Wow! Why have I not heard this so before?! It's so cute. ^^

Was sung VERY beautifully too, you have a lovely smooth voice and great vibrato(?) on the longer notes. (Something I greatly fail at. -_-) The quality is great, as usual. =P

Well, I love all your fandubs, you're definitely one of the top Vocaloid dubbers out there, IMO!

Hope you recover fully from your surgery soon!~

[rockleetist]

Thank you!

Vibrato takes practice, but the best way to become better at vocal control is to tighten your stomach/diaphragm when you sing. Make sure you have plenty of breath to push out the notes so that they don't waver or sound out of breath.

It's all about dynamics to produce a clear sound, so keep practicing. You'll have the hang of it in no time!

[thatguy24487]

yay your back with avengement
