I Cant Defeat Airman (Air Man ga Taosenai) - Kiwi Kenobi English Version kiwikenobi2 2011-07-29 | For those who want to sing the song but don't know Japanese, I present: "I Can't Defeat Air Man" English lyrics and vocals by: Kiwi Kenobi I took a translation of the original Japanese lyrics, rewrote them into singable English, sang them, and synced it up with the original music video. I used Garageband and iMovie.The original song is by Team Nekokan.You can download the mp3 of my version here:sendspace.com/file/lvwcoaI am aware that the line about "shoot as fast as I can" is a mistranslation of the original Japanese, where it described using the start/menu glitch to attempt to dodge the tornadoes (which doesn't work). I didn't know that at the time I made this video. I apologize.I originally made this video in July of 2008. I'm a girl, I was 22 at the time.Enjoy!Lyrics:It just occurred to meThat I've been through this place again and againAnd in the same spot every time I repeatedly dieI never will give upAs I attempt to cross the disappearing tiles on theWall but again I'm falling off of themIf I only had the item number twoIt would make it so much easier to beat this level butEvery time, somehow, every time, somehowEvery time I lose.I can't defeat Air ManNo matter how I try to dodge all his tornadoes, he just kills me againAnd even though I can get behind himIt's no use. I try to fight, but I get blown away in the end.I shoot as fast as I can,But when I had to go against Air Man's tornado I was helpless againI'll try again, of course, but this is my planI'll keep my E tank saved in reserve just as long as I canIt just occurred to meThat my life bar is almost empty againIf I don't use my e tank now I will never surviveI never will give upBut it's so difficult to navigate this world andnow I see that I'm playing with my final lifeIf I only had the leaf shield I'd be fineIt would make it so much easier to fight with Air Man butEvery time, somehow, every time, somehowEvery time I lose.I can't defeat Wood ManNo matter how I try to dodge his swirling leaves, he always kills me againAnd even though I can get behind himIt's no use. I try to stay away but he keeps closing in.I shoot as fast as I canBut when I had to go against Wood Man's agility, I'm helpless againI'll try again, of course, but this is my planI'll keep my E tank saved in reserve just as long as I can
Compass of Your Heart - Kiwi Kenobi English Version (コンパス・オブ・ユア・ハート) kiwikenobi2 2013-03-07 | (Please read the video description before asking questions or commenting)From the ride "Sindbad's Storybook Voyage" at Tokyo DisneySea, "Compass of Your Heart" is a song that I feel deserves far more attention that it's getting. I think this is due in part to the fact that it can be heard only in Japanese in a ride in Japan at Tokyo DisneySea. So, I took various translations of the lyrics I found on the internet and turned them into English that could be sung along with the music.I couldn't find an official karaoke version of the song, so I used a piano cover played by Masanari Hatakeyama, which I sped up and edited a bit using Garageband.Here is the video I got the piano music from: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cPB70sS4DssThe song itself was composed by Alan Menken for the ride for DisneySea, and I think it's a great song and a great ride as well. Hear the song and see the ride here:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ruEoBPJ5A2oSong only (higher quality audio): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bcUn9h1ru7QI'm aware that some of my lyrics may not match the meaning of the original Japanese, but I don't speak Japanese, and I had to take some creative license to make it work in English with the melody.Also, I am not a singer, I am a writer, so please keep that in mind if you don't like my singing. I know it's a little piercing at times. I couldn't sing the song in its original key, so I sang it an octave higher.Lyrics:Your adventure begins, raise your sails up on high.Steer your ship toward the place where the sea meets the sky.All the voyage ahead of you shines like a dream.At your journey's end a treasure waits for you.Though the sea may be rough, and the hurricanes blowUp ahead of you, right where you wanted to goDon't turn back, keep on going, be brave, and you'll seeThat your friends will give you help when you're in needWith the wind in your sails, on the waves you will rideSteer your ship, take a chance, let your hope be your guide.As you travel make sure to give help as you goBeing kind to strangers is important, tooCHORUS:Life's an amazing adventure, though there is no map or chartAnd if you want to find treasure, follow the compass of your heartTreasure can be jewels, treasure can be gold.There are things that matter more than those.CHORUSEveryone should know that what matters mostIs a gift that's given from the heart Now the treasure is yours, it's not jewels or gold,What is treasured the most can't be purchased or soldIt's the journey you've taken, the things you have seenAnd the friends that you have made along the wayCHORUS

I used Garageband and iMovie.The original song is by Team Nekokan.You can download the mp3 of my version here:sendspace.com/file/sotztsI am aware that the opening line actually translates to mean something about the singer going back and playing Mega Man 1 after already playing the other Mega Man games for the NES. This was a mistake in my translation. I apologize.I originally made this video in November of 2010. I'm a girl, I was 24 at the time.Enjoy!Lyrics:I remember, when that game was newIt was my first. As I recall It was a cartridge of light blueI chose a levelBut I couldn't get far at all'Cause every time when I tried just to ride on those platforms I'd always fall. Oh!Can't be done! Can't be done! I don't have the skill to clear this part Can't be done! Can't be done! More than I can handleSo then, is there any hope? Is there any hope? Should I just give up now?It's so difficult, I really should give up.Good nightI remember, I hadn't even triedAnother stage, I just kept playing on the same one, though I diedI chose another, I hoped that I could get past this part But even though I could see where to go I got stuck at the steps at the start Can't be done! Can't be done! This is far beyond what I can doCan't be done! Can't be done! All my effort ends in defeatSo then, is there still no hope? Is there still no hope? Should I just give up now?It's so difficult, but I will not give up!Good luck!It was hard, but somehow I took out every oneThen that familiar doctor came to ruin all my funWith all that I had fought and suffered, and everything I'd learnedI thought that my skills had advancedBut then I sawthat yellow thing with one eyeI didn't stand a chance.AAAAAAA!Can't be done! Can't be done! I don't have the skill to clear this partCan't be done! Can't be done! More than I can handle!So then, is there any hope? Is there any hope? Should I just give up now?No, I swear I never will give up!Can this be? Can this be? Is this really all that I can do?It's too much, I can't win, I will never clear this.Though I die forevermore, die forevermore, I won't let it beat me.I will play this game 'til victory is mine!Whoa-oh-oh! AAAAAAA!Is there any hope? Is there any hope?Is there any hope? Is there any hope? Is there any hope? There's no hope!I will never sleep! I will never sleep!'Til I clear this level, I will never sleep!
