Masahiro Nonaka and Kunihiko Yasui - Yuuhi to Tsuki (The Evening Sun and Moon)

Here is another voice actor song performance as done by the Neo Geo gang. This particular song is a duet featuring the voice actors for both Kyo Kusanagi and Iori Yagami.

Japanese lyrics:
Kyo:
Ore o karitateru hageshisa wa
Kimi no hohoemi ni iyasareta
Terekusakute ienai kedo
Kimi no koto o mamotte itai

Iori:
Ai da nukumori da kudaranai
Nani mo mamoranai shinjinai
Ore ga fureta subete no mono kowasu dake sa
Ima wa nikushimi ga moeru

Sakihokoru kodoku na tsuki
Yami no naka de yurete iru
Sou hitori de ii
Honoo wa tsukiyo no kakera

Kyo:
Sora o somete yuku akane iro
Nazeka yasashisa o kanjiteru
Dare mo ga mina daiji na hito mune ni tomosu
Maru de yuuhi no you ni

Yoru ga kite fukai yami ga
Machi ya hito o tsutsunde mo
Sou kese ya shinai
Kokoro no nukumori dake wa

Iori: Saki hokoru
Kyo: Yoru ga kite
Iori: Kodoku na tsuki
Kyo: Fukai yami ga
Iori: Yami no naka de yurete iru

Iori: Sou
Kyo: Sou
Iori :Hitori de ii
Kyo: Kese ya shinai
Iori: Honoo wa tsukiyo no kakera

Kyo: Yoru ga kite
Iori: Saki hokoru
Kyo: Fukai yami ga
Iori: Kodoku na tsuki
Kyo: Machi ya hito o tsutsunde mo

Kyo (simultaneous): Sou kese ya shinai
Iori (simultaneous): Sou hitori de ii

Kyo (simultaneous): Kokoro no nukumori dake wa
Iori (simultaneous): Honoo wa tsukiyo no kakera

English Translation:
Kyo:
The violence that drives me
It's healed by your smile
It's embarrassing so I can't say it but
I want to keep protecting you

Iori:
Love, warmth; they are trivial
I won't protect or believe in anything
Anything I touch just falls apart
For now, the hatred burns

The lonely moon that fully rises
It is wavering in the darkness
Yes, it's alright by myself
The flame is a fragment of the moonlit night

Kyo:
The sky becoming stained by the dark red color
I feel kindness for some reason
Everyone is lighting their heart with their beloved people
It's like the sunset

Even though the night approaches and the thick darkness
surrounds the town and people,
Yes, it can't remove
the warmth in our hearts

Iori: The blossoming
Kyo: Night approaches
Iori: lonely moon
Kyo: the thick darkness
Iori: It is wavering in the darkness

Iori: Yes
Kyo: Yes
Iori: It's alright by myself
Kyo: It can't remove
Iori: The flame is a fragment of the moonlit night

Kyo: The night approaches
Iori: The full rising
Kyo: Even if the thick darkness
Iori: lonely moon
Kyo: surrounds the town and the people

Kyo: Yes, it can't remove
Iori: Yes, it's alright by myself

Kyo: the warmth in our hearts
Iori: The flame is a fragment of the moonlit night

[IronFury]

Yeah, well SNK tends to have a lot more fun with their voice actors.

I haven't seen Capcom release a Ken and Ryu duet yet.

[rubystar90]

@RinoaDestiny Awwww :3 Iori wants to be frenimies!!! :DDD Why such interesting facts you have; Im going to check them out once I get home!

[RinoaDestiny]

@dnayameidiot14

Yeah. I was looking over the intros between them for most of the games and Iori's always saying "Kyo" (or screaming it in Orochi Iori mode). According to Japanese cultural custom, only your family and closest friends can call you by your first name. Other people would call you by your surname. So it would a given that Iori would call Kyo "Kusanagi" but he doesn't. It was one aspect that jumped out at me. Kyo, though, treats Iori as an acquaintance.

[dnayameidiot14]

@RinoaDestiny Oh really? Ya know, I never even noticed :3 ! These two make everything sound so epic and violent while they're fighting; I just assumed Iori would keep it rude and formal too lol!!! :D

[RinoaDestiny]

@dnayameidiot14

I just read them yesterday and was like, "What the hell was that all about?" 0.o It's a great song but it makes it extremely ambiguous as to whom this level of affection was directed towards. Doesn't help that it's the two arch-rivals singing a duet together. It's also interesting because in the actual in-game intros, Kyo always calls Iori "Yagami", which is more formal. Iori, on the other hand, always calls Kyo "Kyo" (which in Japanese is more intimate). It's weird.

[dnayameidiot14]

Whoa.. The lyrics are kinda... suggestive! *another fangirl seizure*

[dnayameidiot14]

Aww, the best freinemies made the prettiest song in the world together :3 <<<<3. I really like your pictures and the beginning sprite; thanks for the upload. *goes into fangirl shock in the corner*

[ImpactFrame]

That and Ryu and Ken have had like a bagillion voice actors since their debut.

[TheAngelmisa]

[Userguape]
