man the first time i listened to this i thought "wow a will stetson cover on this would be so cool" AND NOW HERE WE ARE
I can only imagine how difficult it was to translate this song while maintaining the rhythm of the original. Well done!
THE FACT THAT YOU CAN TRANSLATE THIS TO ENGLISH WHILE STILL RHYMING AND MAKING THE VISUALS LIKE THE ORIGINAL WITH YOUR CHARACTER IS GENUINELY AWESOME. The "mirror mirror on the wall" part of the song is so cool because "mirror mirror on the wall" is actually a line from snow white and in the original Japanese version it says "kagami de kagami kotaechatte" which translates to the exact same line in snow white. The amount of references you can make in one song is amazing.

The "1! 2! 3! 4!" at 2:17 just adds another level of charm to this that I love
Thanks so much for getting me to arrange this, you absolutely ate this up!!!
"Don’t need your seven pretty lights" The lyrics use a Japanese proverb that says that children of powerful parents shine in seven colors because they receive the benefits of their power.
Damn man, your voice is so different 7 years ago, it's so sad that you haven't reached 1 million subs yet but I really hope you reached it by the end of the year or sooner
ラップの翻訳なんて特に大変だと思うのにリズムを壊してなくて凄いと思う!!!
I know dub companies don't make English covers for openings anymore, but this and your Chainsaw Man English cover are the strongest arguments for bringing them back.
英語で歌っても韻踏んでるのすごすぎる……翻訳が好きすぎる
actually as a Japanese who can speak English, this is actually insane. You must have sang so fast. Also not losing the tempo is insane. Also I like the part "It's genuine" which is "It's nanami(It's 生身)". The lyric is right but gives me odd feeling. It feels like a new song. So cool.
2:07 i love the slight increase in the backing vocals to make that breakdown pop and then at 2:19 that piano in the chorus goes absolutely crazy good. Awesome cover 👏👏
元の歌詞のように聞こえる場所もあってとにかく凄い……
Holy shit, I already expected the lyrics to be great but even the visuals go so hard.
毎度の事ながらクオリティ高いの凄くね……????
This really paints a clear picture of how much Mash feels himself
0:18 was actually godly
