Would it be possible to get the karaoke you used for this? I might be singing this song at an upcoming festival at my university

@ShiniNoMegami I made the karaoke on my old computer which died, so unfortunately I don't have a copy anymore. But you can make your own karaoke by downloading the song, splitting the left and right channels, inverting the right channel, and then mixing it down to one mono track. Best wishes!

Very lovely indeed. I can't say how happy I am to have found this.

Really captured the spirit of the song, makes me remember just how much Shoukeu grew in the series. A shame it could not have gone on...

Thank you. *smiles*

[nijibug]

@RatmanS Thanks for listening. I'm really glad you enjoyed it! I still hope there's a chance that Ono will continue writing, and that a studio - if not Pierrot - will pick up the series where it left off.

[FruitsandCoffee]

This is a lovely cover.

Even if some of the scenes are backwards. It's really odd to see the sleeves of the girls going against gravity like that. XD

[dwkjo]

Well this was a very pleasant surprise. I'm instinctively skeptical of other-language covers of songs, but this was very impressive! :)

[ShiniNoMegami]

Is there any chance that you would send me the karaoke you used for this dub? I might be singing it at a festival at my university

[jolliapplegirl]

Who thinks Shoukei got prettier later in the series than when she first appeared?

[Otaku155]

Actually, come to think of it, I can just imagine the investment bankers on Wall Street singing this song when Occupy and Anonymous come bashing down the doors.

[Otaku155]

These lyrics are spot on, and I hope people can see the political meaning behind the song. To put it an easier way, think of North Korea; no seriously, really do that. The metaphor here is that the doll represents the Kingdom of Hou in the story. There is presented the illusion of prosperity, but that prosperity is just that, only an illusion.

Amaaaaazing Voice =OOO
