  • Hey, guys! What's a cover artist to do when they can't decide between two languages? Why, they sing it in both, of course!
    KH has been a mainstay of my life since childhood, which shouldn't be too hard to believe considering they release a game once a decade. One aspect of the franchise that has stood the test of time, however, is its wonderful soundtrack/score.
    I hope you enjoy, and thanks for listening!
    Original - Utada Hikaru
    Piano - Michael Ostil
    Guitar - Paolo Castillo

    The feel when you wish Kingdom Hearts' plot was still as simple and clean as this track. Great cover.

    • @TheSuperSaturos
      @TheSuperSaturos Před 7 lety +7

      It still is, you just need to play every game and connect everything.

      Mistrom Luthane No more like you need to actually need to pay attention to the game while you play them. Not that hard

      As someone who actually ADORES the KH lore, it is a convoluted mess. A beautiful one, but a mess nonetheless. Once you're in as deep as me you get to the point where you've (thanks to all canon materials we've been given) pieced together most of the cast's plans,as well as a fundamental understanding of what is and isn't possible, to the point where, unless they do some MASSIVE reveal, KH3's plot is already at least partially understood. The problem there being Master Xehanort plays Xanatos Speed Chess like a pro, so you have to account for a character accounting for other character's plans. It gets fun, but don't pretend for a minute that it isn't needlessly complex.

    How the hell are you not famous with that voice?

    • @sydm5237
      @sydm5237 Před 7 lety +22

      He's probably just comfortable where he is with CZcams :3

    • @randyrandomizzerr8278
      @randyrandomizzerr8278 Před 7 lety +7

      Extreme Otaku , yh but he could make it big though, have you heard him sing!?

    • @sydm5237
      @sydm5237 Před 7 lety +19

      Randy Randomizzerr Lol of course I have. But it's understandable that he only wants to be CZcams famous. If he were to go big in Hollywood, it would cause a lot of pressure with all of those high demands in the music industry. You know?

    • @TuckerBowChicka1
      @TuckerBowChicka1 Před 7 lety +54

      It's better that he's not, being famous is not all it's cracked up to be after all. Busy schedules can happen if he ends up being a famous singer with concerts, signing appearances and all that jazz. CZcams famous is much more relaxing and gives one more free time if they simply stay doing what they enjoy. There's you tubers like KaggyFilms though, who are apart of some famous things like voice acting in RWBY but isn't all that busy because he seems to manage it well and not make himself all to big. Leaving plenty of free time and such, but that's because voice acting can be quite less the hassle for finding free time, especially if they don't do to much and don't usually take big roles. Famous singers, can be quite the different story, and I don't think Ashe wants to take that risk of losing the free time he has because of it. Especially since they do tend to have more rapid fans...who may try and break into their houses, plenty of famous people have had stories about that...

    • @randyrandomizzerr8278
      @randyrandomizzerr8278 Před 7 lety +28

      Roronoa Zoro
      But he's not even CZcams famous if you compare his to other channels, I don't understand how he does not even have 1M subscribers, ik it's alot of work but with how good his voice is and the videos he's posted the only way he hasn't reached 1M is if the CZcams algorithm is totally against him or something.

  • @djdexcat
    @djdexcat Před 7 lety +201

    You know, a bilingual cover like this really fits an "East meets West" source like Kingdom Hearts.

    • @Clonetos
      @Clonetos Před 5 lety +10

      Indeed, it works...I don't know why but it does...it should fail, it should burn on impact but it didn't, it doesn't. Nothing looks out of place. Nothing looks wrong.
      Everything fits...and I love it

    When you walk away
    You don't hear me say,
    "Please, oh baby, don't go."
    Simple and clean is the way that you're making me feel tonight
    It's hard to let it go
    You're giving me too many things
    Lately, you're all I need.
    You smiled at me and said,
    "Don't get me wrong, I love you,
    But does that mean I have to meet your father?"
    When we are older you'll understand
    What I meant when I said,
    "No, I don't think life is quite that simple"

    @LetterRobo Před 7 lety +95

    I remember not liking the song as a kid, but I love it now and find it inspiring. I think it's because I see the lyrics in a new context in between learning Utada is "not straight", dealing with being in a long term relationship for the first time, and really being uncertain and scared about the futured. Anyway, thanks for the cover. I enjoyed it. Mixing the English and Japanese lyrics was pretty interesting and I think it worked well.

    Here I am checking out Ashe again after a few years and I'm so surprised at how much better his vocal technique and quality of sound is. His pitches are a lot more accurate and his voice has more power. His vibrato has always been nice but it's more controlled now. I'm so proud of him!!

    I remember when I first heard Utada Hikaru sing this. I thought it had so much emotion put into every word, soft when it needed to be, hard and loud when it called for it. I love it. I'm getting those same vibes from this song when you sing it. :D
