I'd never thought I would find a Japanese version of this epic song. For comparison, here is the English version.

So who else loves this song?

English version rocks, Japanese version is alright I guess. I mean it's ridiculous because it's a profoundly western song (haroween, trik-o-tree, jakku-san?) so it's kind of like having Americans or Brits singing about, I don't know, a Shintoist festival with random Japanese words intersperced.
But it's okay I guess.

 

[Dewgong]

that was interesting than i thought it would be.

There's also a couple of remixes that I'm to lazy to find atm that are good.

I guess the Japanese version is weird like that. Then again, it is interesting to listen to it.

 

[Storm Earth and Fire]

This is pretty cool, but as VPLJ said, it sounds somewhat unnatural...

By the way, I think you managed to misuse the term otaku, in the Western sense. In the original Japanese definition, maybe not.

 

[Erif]

I, for one, love this song. :D

I almost know the whole movie lyrics.

That video was... immensely disturbing.

I agree that perhaps Japanese wasn't the best language to sing about Halloween in, but you have to give them credit for being able to do really good evil voices. :D

the japs use a lot of english word in even their own songs, so im not really surprised or shocked about dat

Ah, I've seen this before.

If anyone is curious to see more, this person has a lot of Japanese (and other language) Disney songs subtitled back into English.

 

[Vladimir Putin's LJ]

In this post-50s world we avoid using the word Japs.

 

[Minish]

Hahaha, that was... a mix of awesome and disturbing. But mostly awesome. :D

I've always loved how amazing Japanese film/whatever people are at getting voice actors who can do such great scary voices.

that was interesting than i thought it would be.

well check out the Japanese Potential Breakup Song.
