Rewrote my translation of Nashimoto Ui's "Repeat" to be singable in English!
Question: I already uploaded a translation of that song to this channel before, but should I upload the updated singable translation here as well? (the original Miku ver. ofc)
Wasn't sure if it'd be wise to basically necro this channel with a stray retranslation.
IN the meantime though I uploaded my uh, own attempt at singing it on my smaller personal channel, if you wanna check that out.
- - - Side ramble: Some of you may have noticed I started writing translyrics for songs and covering them, and it's mostly been due to the influence of a friend in Japan, who has a passion for getting more singable JP -> EN songs out there.
...but frankly, I'm starting to think it's more effective just translating and subtitling songs w/o the covers if the goal is to give the song an audience in English.
Though I'm giving it a shot anyways cuz it's a fun excuse to sing :P
Anyways these friends of mine are aspiring to be more like performers, but fraaankly I'm starting to think I miight be more of a behind-the-scenes kinda guy.
Buut it is fun to sing despite being an amateur at it, sooo I'll probably keep at it a bit.
That said... I'm starting to think, it might've been more down my alley translating lesser known/up and coming vocaloid songs, singable or not, to get them discovered. At least, doing that really fired me up and inspired me, so... maybe I should focus on that again instead of just on songs to specifically sing...?
Only, I've gotten advice to sing/translate big popular stuff if I want any traction, buuut frankly I don't care about going "big", I just wanna simp for my fave vocaloid songs.
And trying this stuff kinda got that interest fired back up again. (Err, no promises yet though =v=;) But after all these years the Vocaloid scene is still going surprisingly strong, so, I feel I do at least have a place to return to!
Anywhoo sorry to ramble outta nowhere, and if you read this far, sorry and thanks lol. Hope you're all doing well out there.
