Umm... so. Eh. :oops:

Warnings first:

1. It could be better.
2. My voice is a bit shaky and piercing.
3. I sound like a kid. @_@;
4. I did some mistakes.

The background is too quiet... And the Japanese pronouncation is a bit funny

But I wouldn't say you sound like a kid... But the tune is right and, maybe to avoid the piercingness, sing a bit further away from the mic...

But overall, it's good

Do you sing often or in a band/choir or something?

EDIT: And in the end, why didn't you mumble along with Yoshiki?

If you think it's sooooo shitty, why do you upload it here? XD; Euh ...

Haven't listened to it yet, i'm downloading it right now. XD I'm just ... wondering.

Yes, my Japanese pronunciation sounds English, doesn't it? XD I've been told that..... But I don't know how to make it better now. :oops:

Well, I was 5 cm away from the mic but it wasn't enough. I'll try further next time.

No, I don't sing anywhere else than at home. And I've had no couching.

@ Maya: Well, I was asking that myself... >.>; I think I said it to make you not expect a good cover.

I think you did fine, Nage

Much better than I ever would. And your voice is sweet IMO, feminine...

Downloading right now ! Can't wait to hear your voice

hehehe ! I'll edit my post later when I'll have listened to it.

It sounds cool, but the music should be louder (I think you already talked about that though).

I think what Toshi sings is REALLY hard to sing, maybe easier for women cause he sings pretty high, dunno though. So really, nice job !

You play the guitar solo really well too

You figure now in my LastFm ! I'm your first scrobbler !! Wouhou !!!

The pronounciation is a bit funny, but otherwise it's not bad, you stay in pitch and you don't sound like a kid.

I think the best way to learn pronounciation is through listening to a lot of spoken japanese (rather than sung). Some sounds found in japanese aren't in the english language (and from my 2 minute youtube visit, not in slovak either), so it's hard to know intuitively.

I don't think at all that you sound like a kid!

And concerning that you haven't had voice coaching it really doesn't sound bad in my opinion. Not professional, but somehow cute.
Yeah, the music is a little bit low, but... shit happens.

Next time you know what to do then, hehe.

Thanks a lot for nice words! :oops: I thought of worse things.... >.>

@ X-J: thanks.

@ Lucs: I picked this one because of the higher tones. I tried Rusty Nail too, but I'm not very good with low tones. @_@;;; I tend to sing those quieter... *shrugs*

@ nemetroid: Thank you. I'll try to listen to it more then. ^^ Oh, I always thought it's easier for Slovak person to speak Japanese than for Englishman actually... >.>

@ Camicat: Thanks! ^^ Yes, it'll be louder next time.
