Also, made a mistake on one part of the video. The word "dunouement" is actually spelled "denouement". The fixed version of this video is provided below. It's an HD-ready file. ouo)v

This is me singing with a sore throat, so please excuse some of the off-notes. 8DD;;

Decided to do this song because we're currently learning about the Meiji Restoration in History class. Senbon Zakura is about the Westernization of Japan, so the song made so much sense to me after learning so much about that period. I went "WHAT THE HECK, I'LL WRITE LYRICS TO IT 8DDDD"

I tried to keep the Japanese feel to it but I did stray off the translation a bit in some parts just because I thought they'd sound strange. I decided to put some allusions to them instead (eg. previous life = Edo period, flag of our sun rising = Japanese flag). So this is kind of half adaptation and half translyrics.

Anyway, I hope you enjoy this!

Have a pleasant day~
Kran

Wow ur voice is great :) you inspired me to sing my own version but I dont know if I can cover the japanese ver. (can sing the chorus so far) or english.........

[fxsynth]

@vocaloidlov101 Good luck! I'm sure with practice you'll be able to do it!!

[vocaloidlov101]

@fxsynth Thanks! But if I do decide to do a english cover (which i probly will) can I use your lyrics?

[fxsynth]

@vocaloidlov101 Sure, no problem!!

[sergeant9839]

This.. this is FANTASTIC! Usually people who try to sing the English lyrics to any vocaloids sounds just plain annoying.. but THIS IS GREAT!

[fxsynth]

[xUpperClassK9x]

Oh dear God, your lyrics are AWESOME. I love this song to bits and finding a gorgeous English cover and translyrics are just cherries on top of an awesome-pie. I would like to say I may do a cover with your lyrics, but I don't know if that will ever happen haha. Keep up the fantastic job! Grats on the Nico video ranking!
