Tales of the Abyss Opening Meld (English Guitar + Japanese Volcals)

My friend (xXMikotoNakadaiXx) and I had been talking about how the Japanese version of the opening was a lot better due to vocals, and I brought up how the guitar in the English version was really nice as well. After some joking around we came up with the idea of melding the openings, the best of both worlds, some nice electric guitar backing up the vocals of the original OP. Now, 6 months later, I finally got off my lazy butt and got the thing made.

The song is Karma by Bump of Chicken, there's plenty of videos with the full song around Youtube.

You can PM me with your e-mail address if want the MP3 file.

Edit : Ah, Mikoto has his own version up, it's the same concept, but he mixed his together differently so it'll sound different. Check it out in the video responses if you want.

you can stand to make the guitar a bit louder i mean double what it is now so we can hear the best notes of the guitar along with the vocals of the singer kinda on par with each other ya know give it a try and mail me when ya do i'll be around and i would gladly tell you my thoughts on it

[XxStevenLexX]

Alright, I'll try tweaking it a bit more. From what others have said, though, the voice was hard to hear with the guitar louder, but I'll try it out.

Im not really feelin the singer on this one... the singer in the Vesperia opener was much, much better imo. I like it without the voice personally.

[XxStevenLexX]

Hm, never heard that from anybody before.

But hey, at least now you know what it sounds like, for sure, right? xD

[dumbapple343]

I think the singer is very good. I really like it and its catchy, so meah to you who don't like it. >:D

[krourou2]

Actually, I pulled this trick by opening the English version in another window and unpausing both at the same time.

this was epic :O thank you for posting this up :D

[sasukeowns777]

i love this one but the english is still the best in my opinion (: best intro to a game so far that ive seen.

Oh my god..... <333

Amazing. I usually prefer the Japanese vocals, but for some reason the singer of this song just didn't fly with me, the way he dragged and squeaked the notes was awful. This meld makes the vocals not only bearable, but actually good to listen to, making a much better result combined than either version of the song by themselves. Thanks for the treat!

[XxStevenLexX]

Yeah, about a year ago I brought up how a ToA meld would be really cool and he ended up coming up with the idea to just make it ourselves instead of dicking around like we already had for a year.

[Metaldeoxys]

Oh wait. . . you're friends with the guy who suggested it to me.

[Metaldeoxys]

Hmm, I hope you're not copying me. I did the same thing but posted the video several months earlier. . .AND How'd you get more views than mine in this short of a time?
