Hi everyone, here's another English cover collab this time feat. k*chan! Like others I wrote these lyrics years ago with the intent on covering it but it sounded bad so Alleah graciously stepped in with all her sky-high-miiku-notes-of-death glory-
I remember this song was tricky as the translation is specific with certain phone/text terms and string-related metaphors but I tried to keep as much of them in there as possible (and because I like to make my life more difficult, around a very tight rhyme scheme). Thanks for watching!
English Lyrics: (please credit/link back to my channel if used) We tried our very best to cover up The patchwork of our broken damaged love Oh should we put an end to every dream And cut the thread that holding us so dearly breaking at the seams
Hey do you remember all the words you said That pile together, soon to fall again We cut and trim It's funny when I realized how sad you've made me, when did this begin?
Tick tack tick tack circling back Ding dong ding dong like we're on replay Tick tack tick tack we're mending then ending Ding dong ding dong another day Watching the threads whispering as they fray
Would it be better better if you disappeared Instead of all this wondering we'd both be clear Surely surely it can't be this way Although it hurts I seem to stay
Hey can I can I throw it all away I try to go on through this waiting everyday And maybe maybe I may still like you Although it may be painful too
I don't remember when I looked at the screen blank and still again Would make my heart feel empty growing cold The hours past so slow, it's so boring, tell me do you really know?
Flick tap flick tap check the text app swipe tap swipe tap A.R.T. Flick tap flick tap updating and waiting Swipe swipe swipe swipe nothing to see Loosening threads murmuring quietly
Would it be better better if you disappeared Instead of all this wondering we'd both be clear Surely surely it can't be this way A little lonely's all I'll say
No, can I can I throw it all away Oh do you notice how I'm waiting everyday But maybe maybe I may still like you Although it will be be painful too
After all
After all it'd be better if you disappeared Instead of all this wondering we'd both be clear Surely surely it can't be this way I'm left so lonely, not ok
Hey, can I can I throw it all away? You'll never notice how I'm waiting everyday So alright alright guess I should've known From all the times I'm left alone Tick tack tick tack Ding dong ding dong
We tried our very best to cover up The patchwork of our broken damaged love Oh should we put an end to every dream It's funny when I think just how simple ending this could really be

Another highly requested song in the series, here's my English adaptation take on Shiawase feat. Mathew and Hiyumi as Mr. and Mrs. Narumi! We're all about a rough and tough rebellious guy with a difficult upbringing softens up thanks to good 'ol love + family values. Like a few of the other songs in the series, this one was tricky to adapt naturally and coherently (how do you say let's share a life of love and being grateful without sounding like someone from the last century?). Also thanks to both Mathew and Hiyumi for joining the growing castlist as Yusuke and Ayako respectively and doing a great job as usual (and yes, Mr. Darling is also in the works and will also feature Hiyumi as Ayako)! Thanks for listening/watching!
-English Lyrics- Although you may be crying, still your face brings so much light A treasure born from feelings that were so right And like a holy flower shining down from up above The dreams we have won't ever die as long as there is love
I acted tough and pushed away whatever would seem weak And threw away the love you gave, I didn't think What you consider normal suddenly could disappear And that is when you miss the precious things you should hold dear
I cannot, put these feelings into words So I hold to all that I love, giving more out in return Over time I started to smile more And it's all because of you, it's so different from before
This happiness, this happiness I'll be loved as much as all the love I spread And gently, and gently We'll live this life out with feelings soaring free And finally here today, words before I couldn't say I was happy you were my, parents giving me this life
Although you may be crying, still your face brings so much light A treasure born from feelings that were so right When someone suddenly finds something precious to protect They find a sense of purpose and discover their new strength
Celebrations will happen every day Even when the rain comes down, all our hearts push the gloom away In this world all the people naturally Deep down want to feel something, happiness spreading constantly
And thank you so, and thank you so For choosing us, I'm so grateful do you know I'm thankful too, so thankful too These feelings I have are only meant for you There are countless different ways, everyone lives out their days Still remember to take time, to enjoy moments in life
Your family can change, before you soon realize The long pursuit of happiness when feelings collide A thousand years could pass, but this will stay the same It won't change, it won't change
This happiness, this happiness I'll be loved as much as all the love I spread And gently, and gently We'll live this life out with feelings soaring free
And thank you so, and thank you so For choosing us, I'm so grateful do you know I'm thankful too, so thankful too These feelings I have are only meant for you And someday soon you will see, when you're in love happily When your feelings start to soar, thinking of that person more
#HoneyWorks #haniwa #ハニワ【Jefferz】 Everything Goes On (Acoustic) - Porter Robinson Cover (League of Legends)JefferzKM2023-02-18 | ♦Stream/Buy: ffm.to/everything-goes-on
It's finally finished, here's my acoustic cover of Porter Robinson's Everything Goes On! A bit late to the party, I fell in love with the song right when it came out and knew it was something I wanted to work on. But as I listened to the song on repeat, the lyrics really hit me, which doesn't happen very often with my emotional levels of a pet rock. One of my relatives has had a lot of health problems in recent years and last year started showing signs of dementia. The themes and certain phrases in this song were relatable and the lead-ins to the choruses in particular, powerful.
Unfortunately I also caught Covid the week later last July at work (the drawbacks of working as a vaccinated public civil servant) and I wasn't able to properly talk let alone sing for over six weeks. It was a fairly bad case and I wasn't sure if my voice would be the same after how frequent and severe the coughing was (just the coughing though, everything else was okay and ppl in the health fields, myself included, don't lie!). Needless to say it eventually healed (this was the first thing I recorded back in action) and as Porter Robinson's moving lyrics say, Everything does indeed Go On. Thanks for listening!
Special thanks to Sher and Kuro for working on this project with the beautiful art and video composition respectively.
-Somehow after many requests for this, Jeff has done it (ba dum tss)-
In all seriousness, I got several requests to cover this iconic song and while there are many solid adapted takes on it, I thought I'd give it a go (though I think I lost a bit of my will to live trying to cover the vocal range of this song). Similar to how I approached Donor Song many yrs ago, I tried to adapt the "mechanical" references metaphorically rather than literally, though I left a few references here and there. Thanks for watching/listening!
English Lyrics:: Sometimes I, wonder if it would be easier to throw away And I'd smile, for I know that I would make it through the day And just like that again the pain inside my chest begins to hurt Don't speak, you make it worse
Sometimes I, wonder if I it would be easier to forget And inside, cast away these feelings 'til there's nothing left Trust me I've tried but still I cannot seem to let go like before Don't show me anymore
No matter how much closer I try to move to you There is only one heart, beating between us two
It's hurting me, destroying me This pain's overwhelming me, it cannot be I'm asking you, tear me in two I'll let you do anything you please Building inside, I can't deny My eyes start to swell like I'm gonna cry But you're holding me, still tightly Somehow I manage to find a way To be okay I'm okay
And if I, ever had the chance to see a dream come true Would you realize, that I'd wish for whatever that you would choose But that's impossible so all that I have left for me is here And so I keep you near
No matter how much I believe that I'm loved by you Still there's only one heart, beating between us two
Please stop it now, please stop it now I don't understand, I just want to shout All that I do, leaves me confused I don't understand what's this about It hurts so much, it hurts so much I feel like I'm breaking, don't have the words And I don't know, this feeling grows I beg you don't, leave me alone
It's hurting me, destroying me This pain's overwhelming, can't even breathe I'm asking you, tear me in two I'll let you do anything you please Building inside, I can't deny My eyes start to swell like I'm gonna cry But you're holding me, still tightly Somehow I manage to find a way I'm okay
And if I, somehow had a heart to call my very own How could I, find out where it is, it's something I must know And then you slowly turned while smiling and spoke so quietly "It's here in front of me"

We're finally here with Tokyo Autumn Session! It's been a few years since our last "tokyo session" collab and I know of lot of people were hoping for this one since it's rarely covered, hopefully the wait worth it! This was a really tough song to adapt coherently because of the rigid scenes and ages in the source material, but I love that this song covers more mature topics bc let's be frank, we can't always be in high school forever (me and my cast sure aren't, we're all working adults now lol)! Speaking of, thanks to my cast for reprising their roles yet again and just doing their thing (it's like they're on autopilot at this point). As the released off-vocal still including the seiyuu's in the source track, it was also refreshing recreating the original video's audio design during the voice acting intro using mixing techniques I rarely use these days (please enjoy Angela, Nabi and my amusing VAing). Thanks for watching/listening!
Note: The fact that two different people asked if I was also the Pidgeon in the intro, I can't ya'll
English Lyrics: (please credit/link back to my channel if used)
Seventeen, we saw each other all the time Yeah, even before we were a thing I always was at your side Eighteen, our high school days were done, busy we couldn't meet up then All those days really hurt, asking when this pain would end
I open LINE, isn't your message late tonight? Please, understand I have work, I cannot help it, give me some time I see, if that's really all it is then guess I'll have to let it slide And the distance between us grows the more we try
Growing up you can feel things start to change Now adults, patience to wait You think about what's dear to you Suddenly it's clear as day Still because I love you so We can both be on our own Still sometimes we worry whenever we're alone
Baby girl your eyes and nose and lips I want to touch you like before Baby boy your hands and habit and love and love I want to see you more
Please let me fall into love once again The "love" that we both had back then
Nineteen, we took a trip for the first time Well, though it really wasn't far still it was memorable in my mind And just the two of us on a date, we drove and at the beach in the waves Getting drenched to the bone, we had fun then caught a cold
Twenty, our first time out to drink, sharing a bottle of sake Though you got so drunk, still I thought you were cute all the same Honest it was an act so I could be all over you And those moments remind me of why I fell for you
Because there's no way for me to see you Feelings overflow inside If we both still feel this way Both our paths will cross in time If I chose to end our love It'd be easier to go Still despite the distance one day we'll meet I know
Baby girl your eyes and nose and lips I want to touch you like before Baby boy your hands and habit and love and love I want to see you more
Swaying slow, back and forth, I reminisce Back when both our eyes had first met When I reached out with my hand, that first moment Let's fall in love all over again I know that we both still feel just the same And nothing will change Our love
Baby girl your eyes and nose and lips I want to touch you like before Baby boy your hands and habit and love and love I love you even more Baby girl your eyes and nose and lips I want to touch you like before Baby boy your hands and habit and love and love I love you even more
Please let me fall into love once again The "love" that we both had back then
Sometimes I felt like this project would never be finished but at long last, a year and half later here is my English rendition of Koi by Gen Hoshino! Originally suggested to me by @alkamzk ages ago, this one was a real doozy to adapt (the 2nd verse is a mess and theme is so Japanese with concepts of marital love and family values). There are also at least three entire song recordings of this cover that I did over the course of last year never being quite satisfied with how it sounded and although it's a year late, this was technically the first cover I fully recorded on my current and very luxurious studio mic.
But it was all worth it in the end and I gotta give it to Alkamist for such a great song suggestion! Special thanks to TAMAneko for the illustration and Raina for stepping in with the visual composition after all the problems I had with the original animator. Thanks for watching, hope this upload brings you a little more joy and pep to your day!
English Lyrics:: The sun’s setting now And the sunlight slowly fades ending today The wind, it blows and carries us on All the people passing by until they’re gone
What’s life all about Honestly nobody knows so go with the flow But when I’m hungry, now it’s the end And it’s time for me to come back home again
But then I caught myself, what I am doin’? I had to stop and look up at the sky The world began with just two people And I cannot deny
Deep inside I feel like there’s something new While another’s fading when I look at you Do you know that it’s ’cause you’re by my side Don’t forget, please don’t leave yet
And I wonder what could be on your mind Does your heartbeat faster or is it just mine? Fingers intertwined, and it feels just right Now you’ve got me fallin’, your perfume is somethin’ Send them off together married tight
My thoughts running wild In my head I have these doubts, colorful and loud And swans are flying, changing the rules And traditions they expected us to do
Although I try I keep on falling harder I’m so in deep and you’re all that I see They say that love is so contagious Wouldn’t you agree?
Deep inside I feel like there’s something new While another’s fading when I look at you Do you know that it’s ’cause you’re by my side Don’t forget, please don’t leave yet
And I wonder what could be on your mind Does your heartbeat faster or is it just mine? Fingers intertwined, and it feels just right Now you’ve got me fallin’, your perfume is somethin’ Send them off together married tight
Even when you cry Or when you smile so wide I wanna see you, can we stay forevermore You’re all I adore
Deep inside I feel like there’s something new While another’s fading when I look at you Do you know that it’s ’cause you’re by my side Don’t forget, please don’t leave yet
And I wonder what could be on your mind Does your heartbeat faster or is it just mine? Fingers intertwined, and it feels just right Now you’ve got me fallin’, your perfume is somethin’ Send them off together married tight Send them off, a pair that got it right More than one, together a delight

(😑 Me while writing one of the girliest set of lyrics to date, Jeff 2019)
And we're back with the much requested I Want To Be Cute / Kawaiiku Naritai feat. Spiral once again as Sena! This was actually one of the songs I particularly wanted to try adapting mainly because it's very wordy and I felt other lyrical attempts lost some of the boy-crush dreamy vibe that made the original song so sweet and endearing. I had a lot of fun with this one, plus there's a lot more Sena/Midori covers that should be finished up really soon!
And ofc thanks again Spiral for returning again as Sena (going on 7 years now)! What started as Sena getting the one-shot Friday's Good Morning has really expanded so much, every time a new Sena song comes out we're celebrating her girl getting much deserved new content (why she gets less than the rest of her class's couples despite having one of the more interesting backgrounds I will never understand). Thanks for watching/listening!
-English Lyrics- Every girl want to be pretty, looking really cute today Even if they seem to not care, maybe they're too shy to say Going all out with my makeup, doki doki all inside But it's hopeless in the end if I still can't catch your eye
Thinking all about who I like and how dating seems to go Following the latest fashion or exams, I never know Everyday I'm always busy, there's so much I need to do But it can't be helped, I'm just a girl that's just getting through
I listen to what my friends say And it's bad how easily I'm swayed Hiding all of my little secrets too Even freaking out is a constant mood This unsure and worrying girl Ah, found her prince charming but something's missing "Hey good morning"'s all they say whenever they meet Ah, please won't you smile back at me
Do you know how much that I'm crazy about you, ah sorry that I lied Trying on a new kind of look for you, makeup and a lipstick color brand new From the time that I'm waking up 'til I'm sleeping, I'm thinking about you Do you know that you're all I see When I lose myself, a daydream fantasy I won't waste the time that passes when we can't meet I will look cuter you'll see, come and look for me?
Changing to a grown-up shampoo, feeling nice and so renewed Hanging out and having fun wait, take another selfie too Everyday is all so noisy, going on without a clue But it can't be helped, I'm just a girl that's just getting through
I seem to follow gossip a bit More than I would really want to admit Some are saying "why is she acting cute" Maybe 'cause I wanna look cute, so rude This unsure and worrying girl Ah seems to be stronger when she falls in love I just want you to see me and not look away Ah, let me stay right at your side, kay?
I just wanna walk up and say hello to you, ah but I ran away Trying on a new color blush today What's the point if I turn bright red anyway Always and forever, for only you, ah I couldn't say that Wouldn't it be strange to tell you Haven't even met yet, what a silly fool Though I'm sitting right beside you, I'm still afraid Still I'm hoping someday I’ll see your smiling face
I don't really feel any different about him, ah sorry that I lied Close enough that you could hear me Something in my heart, it hurts, this feeling
Do you know how much that I'm crazy about you, ah sorry that I lied Learning many things to try for you, makeup, even lipstick, everything is new From the time that I'm waking up 'til I'm sleeping, I'm thinking about you Do you know that you're all I see When I lose myself, a daydream fantasy I won't waste the time that passes when we can't meet I will look cuter you'll see, come and look for me?
Still working through my backlog of old lyrics, here's another one I wrote somewhere around 2015-2016 or so. I've loved niki's rock songs but I always felt like most people overlooked BC for some of his other more popular songs so I wanted to cover it many years ago. Unfortunately I could never get it to sound quite right but many years later I think I finally developed better vocals to pull it off better.
Fun fact, I recorded these vocals this song back in June but couldn't read and sang some of the lyrics wrong. I then caught covid in late July and while still coughing and hacking away, attempted to re-record parts of the chorus that sounded shaky and all of the harmonies. Ironically most of the mid-Covid recover lines sounded better than the lines I sang while fully healthy, who knew that using smoother and controlled breath support helps when adding texture or power causes endless coughing (for legal purpose this is a joke, always use good breath support and vocal technique ya'll). Thanks for listening!
English Lyrics: I look up to the dreary sky All the clouds above are set to cry As a sudden chill is in my heart In the pouring rain, I fall apart
But just for moment I could forget Confusion to cover up my deep regret Wishing so hard but it's far too late I guess this is fate That we weren't meant to be But still a part of me won't let you leave
This is goodbye, to you and I No longer close, no wondering why We gave our all, this room feels small We've gone so low, for now we both know My friend, this is our end
Fingertips that used to meet as one Looking in your eyes I know you're done Once my heart would soar but now it's cold For my wings are broken, torn and old
My feelings have crumbled into the wind But looking at you, confusion, it sets in Faltering, words that I couldn't say I guess this is fate There's nothing to believe But still a part of me won't let you leave
This is goodbye, to you and I No longer close, for we had realized We gave our all, this room feels small A foolish hope, for now we both know My friend, this is our end
This is goodbye, to you and I No longer close, you and I both tried We gave our all, this room feels small Where do we go, neither of us know My friend, this is the end
Thank you spotify suggested songs for suggesting this bop when I was driving for work earlier this year. This song had been stuck in my head for ages so I thought it would be a fun chill song to cover (and to collect from the Bluejaysong who is still in a song debt thanks to technical misleading- I mean complex contracts). One day my friends will see the light and discover the joy that is recording of their of own free will instead forcing me to utilize more devious methods-
Also I was very disappointed to learn that this song is not about the Publishers Clearing House
English Translyrics, Vocals, Mix & Subs: Jefferz Vocals: @MerobeanMusic
This cover is only 8 years late after I wrote these lyrics not long after the song came out in 2014, wow does time go by fast! Like other recent uploads this is another set of translyrics from the vault that was never used, many thanks to Mero for agreeing to collab on this blast from the past. This probably isn't one of my best lyric works but it surprisingly aged pretty well for being quite old. Thanks for listening!
English Lyrics: The rain is falling down upon me as I look around A little cat purrs "hello"; a quiet sound I step into my favorite heels and tap along the ground
Although the weather is dreary there is so much to do Change up the style with the blue and every indigo hue The puddles with their reflections of the clouds and the sky I see the wonders and colors of the world in my eyes
So should we dance, and take a chance To lean and sway, and turn away Just you and me, we both agree The beat will soon pick up speed
I just wanna run around and jump into tomorrow with a stride Even if the sun won't shine, I'll still keep moving forward full of pride For you know we'll always be fine So keep that head raised high with confidence inside And love with all your might, everyday every night Although sometimes you may fall, you'll pick yourself back up tall Reach out your hand to me The future's bright just wait and see
Upon her cheek I saw the droplets forming little tears A little cat purrs pretending not to hear My motivations sinks, my boredom oh I just can't think
Although there's lies hidden in the things that people may say Just leave behind every worry with another new day The little droplets that puddle with a splash and a pop And with your finger trace the edge and don't ever stop
So come along, we'll sing a song Between us two, just me and you Reach way up high, up towards the sky Don't let the time just pass by
I just wanna run around and take a leap into the endless sky Though I may not reach the stars, I'll still soar ever farther as I fly So don't ever think you can't try So keep that head raised high, with confidence inside And love with all your might, everyday, every night So don't you shy away, or cry alone today Just put your faith in me The future's bright just wait and see
And let every doubt fly free The moon is shining above so brightly Take all the stress from your head The worries you dread We will step right ahead
I just wanna run around and jump into the future from tonight Though I may still change a bit, I know that everything will be alright For with hope, there will always be light So keep that head raised high, with confidence inside And love with all your might, everyday, every night Although sometimes you may fall, you'll pick yourself back up tall Reach out your hand to me The future's bright just wait and see Our days of love so happily So wouldn't you agree?
An impromptu cover of a really nice (and criminally unknown) song that's been in my head the past few weeks. I do a lot of driving for work and this song came up one day randomly via spotify suggestions and after singing it in my car many times I thought I'd try record an actual cover. If you like piano-based aesthetic or emotional songs, definitely give Abe's other songs a listen (I love Empty House in particular). Thanks for listening!
I've been on a recording and collabing spree trying to use up old adapted lyrics I've written but never used over the years and this is another one of those originally written back in 2017/2018. I was inspired to adapt this song after hearing @Zal ザール ch. 's cover of the song plus I was really into low-key, undiscovered nico producers at the time. I wrote these lyrics with the intent to make it a collab with a guest vocalist but I never really got around tot it, so here we are several years later. Thanks for listening!
English Lyrics: "Even if this world should shatter and end Would I care, no I would let it all go" I hear you say it so many times It worries me so, but you'll never know
Next you always feel you're awfully lonely All alone with no one else and empty "But aren't I here", each time I would say But you don't hear me or choose to ignore me
I brought you tonight so that I could show You the glittering Milky Way up in the sky With a bond that's connecting both our worlds And balancing you and I
I want to hear your voice ring in my head Repeating over and over again So nervous, why can't I speak true I hold back what I feel for you
We're here but I feel we're worlds apart So I reach for your sleeve to comfort my still heart You turned to me puzzled, melting away this lonely place A smile on your face
"Even if our world should shatter and end Would I care, no I would welcome it then" I hear you say it so many times It worries me so but you'll never know
Gazing right into my eyes so deeply With a childish grin you say so cheaply "I swear I'll never leave your side" You're always teasing while I'm believing
My heart is fluttering in my chest Almost like it's a rocket that's flying out into the night Right in the moment, I feel I could rescue And shower your world in light
I want to hear your voice ring in my head Repeating over and over again Your comforting words, they put me at ease And nothing else would concern me
I hold tight your finger in my hand And sudden bliss overflowing down to where we stand You turned to me puzzled, melting away this lonely place A smile on your face
I saw it so I'm honest, don't you know For acting strong and was all that I tried to show
The glow of the city, it's piercing through the night It lights up the world and decorate the sky I want to always be with you Under the Milky Way and sky as two

And we're jumping back to Class 1-1 with Hina's song Senpai feat. 愛梨。/Airi。 once again featured as Hina (and the OG class cast in the bg vocals)! I feel like I say this about every Honeyworks song but this one sure was sweet and was surprisingly tricky adapting without being too awkward (get the bad reference) or cringe-sounding in English. I'm also a big hinaxkotoro fan so I not only like Senpai bc it's a great song, but also bc we can sideline Koyuki who really isn't a very good match with Hina tbh. More of this arc's songs coming soon!
Side note: There is absolutely no way to adapt that random spoken "baka" in this song to not sound silly, thanks Airi for humoring me and recording it anyway hahaha!
-English Lyrics- Is it bad that I'm a bit younger than you? Is it bad my hair is short or could it be cute? Could I be your girlfriend, would you please agree? Senpai would you choose me Please?
Studying to pass the exam with only one thing on my mind Getting through to just see you, notice me, you can't be blind (dummy) Everyday I’m planning a way to ambush you with something new Please forgive my lame excuse, "weird I keep running into you"
We will never be together in class Still can we be closer, all that I ask From behind, although I'm starting from less Next time I’ll give you my best Is it bad that I'm a bit younger than you? Is it awkward for you too?
The only person that I like was born a little before me And fell for someone else before I realized my feelings Could we turn the clock ahead Could I grow closer to you; more than just friends Could I please, just sit a little bit closer Could I please, become your one special lover Why can't my daydream be true Because I know right now I'm in love with you I can't ever change the time, I'll always be a bit behind Senpai won't you notice me now too
Even though I try this gap still remains Everything I try, the distance's the same Why couldn't I see, nothing I can do It would better if it, it just wasn't you
Graduation’s coming and soon you'll be gone I can't do a thing but try to hang on Writing in a letter what I felt each day Senpai, all of the things I hate and hate and hate about you by the way
The only person that I like was born a little before me And fell for someone else before I realized my feelings I can't even say "hello" Because I'll never get to see you here anymore I'll lock away these feelings I have now I'll never let them reach you, I'll just joke with you somehow Could we share another year A bit more time before you disappear
Could you please, just talk to me again casually Could you please, stay in my life, all I'm asking I know that can't ever be Can't draw this out, I'll smile and grin so brightly I'll love you until the day, soon when you have to go away Senpai, this is goodbye, don't worry
Ah the song Jeff purposely skipped in the series years ago coming back to haunt me but we must do it to complete the series- anyway this song is rarely ever covered in English so at least I decided to take a crack at it. This song was a great world-building one that laid the foundation for Haruki's backstory with Chiaki (more on that coming up soon!) and helped tie together the different age group of friends together. Unlike the original character voice version, I opted to split the song into a duet since the lyrics constantly jump back and forth between Saku and Haruki's perspectives.
Special thanks to Jun for joining the cast as our ikemen teacher (and ofc Kuro returning as Haruki) and all of my vocal slaves- I mean class cast filling in on the background vocals. This one was tricky and a lot of work (there are so many translated lines that sound awkward in English, especially the parts with Haruki singing with the class about Saku) but hopefully it's worth the wait, thanks for listening!
-English Lyrics- Hey class, do you think your teach is okay? Yeah yeah, whatever you say I'll see all of you who didn't raise your hand After school you understand
Really, do you think I honestly care How you ignore me and always make that glare Although we're different, you need to behave Show some respect 'cause you don't have my age
Stop playing games with me, stop looking down at me I'm not a kid anymore, what is it you cannot see Am I too much for you? Too bad you're stuck with me and what more can you do! Done?
Hey class, do you think your teach is okay? Yeah yeah, whatever you say And for the one left with yours hands at your side In my class the same time
Hey teach I hate you so much Saying your friends to your students but what about us Agreed, majority rules I guess you win while we're in school Hey teach Won't you take a look Here is my homework unfinished, is it good? Won't you help your student again It's just like all those old times then
You call me a kid but do you realize We're not that different as time passes on by I even know what it’s like when in love Now do you see how I've changed, I'm grown-up
Stop with that tough guy act And your constant attacks I see right through, do you think that I can't? I'm certainly grown-up So keep appropriate distance, don't interrupt Stop
Hey guys, do you think our teach is okay? Yeah yeah, whatever you say There's no way that I'll, ever change my mind Keep this up, this front will be fine
Hey teach I hate you so much Saying your friends to your students but what about us Agreed, majority rules I guess you win while we're in school Hey teach Won't you take a look Here is my homework unfinished, is it good? Won't you help your student again It's just like all those old times then
Always in a crowd and making somebody laugh Longing for the same, I watched you all from the back Suddenly I felt a feeling building inside Something I tried to hide Always in a crowd and making somebody laugh Never noticing how good things were, all I had Only when they're gone you seem to finally know How painful loss and grief grows
Hey class do you think your teach is okay Yeah yeah whatever you say Listen to these grammar rules and you will succeed We got all these grammar rules and we will succeed
Hey class do you like your literature class Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah And for the one left with yours hands at your side Is it just me, I don't know why
Years pass, it's all the same Thousands of meetings and years, playing this game Might as well take our place in the line And wait until it's time, time, time, time, time
Hey teach Do you despise me You're just "my teacher", ignoring our past history Agreed Only my vote counts, and you'll see what it's all about
Hey teach Remember again You can't ignore what's still broken, it has to mend Like before, won't you solve it with me And then you’ll finally see That we can smile again Just like always did back then
Vocals, Mix & Subs: Jefferz English Lyrics: @Merobean
First new (except not bc it was recorded last month) cover for 2022, we're back with more Police Piccadilly! Like all of their songs this one has been on my to-do list since it was released and while it was fun covering this song with some Pokefriend pals in an earlier cb, I've been wanting to give it a try solo. Lyrics featured are by great merp- i mean Merobean who also has a great cover of this song linked below. Thanks for watching/listening! youtube.com/watch?v=YSiljLH_YNM
Vocals (Mona): @Merobean BG Vocals (Mona's Fanboys): A crowd of @Jefferz English Translyrics, Mix & Subs: Jefferz Translation: DenZeroSubs | facebook.com/DenZeroSubs
And it's here, it's the day... that we get to Mona's debut song featuring Merobean as our Mona! I know a lot of people have left many comments asking whether I would work on songs from the Idol Series. I still don't have any plans to do LipXLip mainly because there's so many of them, but I am planning to do some of Mona's along with Hiyori's. Thanks for watching/listening! (next upload will be back to the main School Confession series)
Note: I completely forgot that this song had background crowd callouts and I didn't want to trouble people on recording it so Jeff did it all himself solo. Mona has a crowd of 11 Jeff fanboys and no one else-
-English Lyrics- I want to show you My doki doki love, you feel it too If you decide to open your heart, don't forget me Let my name ring out, I’m asking please
I’m excited to start, today’s lessons and training I start sing, and then I dance, it’s so tiring And sometimes I can’t help, but compare myself to them I need to be, still true to me, start my own trend
If I don’t give it my all, I won’t be able to shine I wanna sing, to all my fans, reach their hearts, with mine And that’s why, whenever I’m on the spot I give it all I’ve got You are my angel
I want to show you My doki doki love, you feel it too If you decide to do it, hurry, follow my lead Let my name ring out, I’m asking please
And here is my smile A little cheeky, it’s my special style Is it okay to ask if you’ll be, cheering for me And become my fan, I’m just kidding Feel it inside, shoot for the sky Expectations maybe a bit high
And it’s here, it’s the day, that I feel will change my life And it’s the stage, from in my dream, I know it’s time They have fame, so much style, I feel like I’m so behind Am I enough, can I catch up, I cannot lie
Maybe it’s not meant to be, I don’t have what it takes Maybe I’m not good enough, is this all a mistake But I know, one day if I will make them see And I’ll claim victory You are my angel
Please won’t you love me I’ll become number 1, it’s who I’ll be So won’t you make a move or motion, keep it going Or say something, give a sign to me
Now raise up your hands With your attention I’ll do something grand If you decide to do it, hurry, follow my lead And I’ll give you all my love so sweet I’m just kidding, don’t resent me In this moment, won’t regret a thing
Even now, when I’m on this stage I can feel, something real, it’s a sudden change Looking out, to the crowd, now I must be strong And this big, shining scene, and it’s all my song Let’s go!
I can hear everyone cheer, and I feel something inside This is proof, that I am here, and it fills me up with pride Everyone, with me, come on raise your voice Louder, let’s make some noise! You are my angel!
I want to show you My doki doki love, you feel it too If you decide to do it, hurry, follow my lead Let my name ring out, I’m asking please
And here is my smile A little cheeky, it’s my special style Is it okay to ask if you’ll be, cheering for me And become my fan, I’m just kidding Feel it inside, shoot for the sky Expectations maybe a bit high
We're back with another HoneyWorks collab English cover with The Day I Knew Love/Watashi ga Koi o Shiru Hi and Akari's perspective! Just like Souta's song, this one is also super sweet and was a lot of fun adapting. I tried using a different video compositing/post program for the subbing on this one which should hopefully help finish these faster than in AE. Special thanks to roux once again returning as Akarai to get everyone the fuwa feels. Thanks for watching/listening!
-English Lyrics- Did I just imagine it all, I’m sorry it’s my mistake You’re always there wherever I go but you still avoid my gaze Would you believe me if I said that I’m, trying my best to think through Since you confessed; I’ve thought of my answer to you
Ah, there in the classroom I thought, is everything okay? Then I couldn’t believe Randomly out of the blue you just went and called Out my name
Breaking the silence, your voice echoed right to my heart “What is it?” I asked I can’t ignore it that right now we’re here all alone But still you don’t even react Suddenly, your fingers reach out to softly brush by my cheek Whispering “I’m in love”, what did you mean?
It’s the first time that I went to buy a present to give to you Skipping along, I catch myself smiling and humming out a tune Wait, is it weird if I give you a present like this, I’m not your girlfriend I think Sorry I’m strange and selfish for doing this thing
Hey, hearing your voice echoing, I’m searching hard for you Now, above the whole crowd I’m running faster to find you and calling out There you are!
Hearing you call out my name while you’re so far away Made me smile inside Giving each other our presents, I just had to laugh Both scarfs traded at the same time Reaching to give it to you, why do I feel so nervous now Who do you love? What’s this about
Ah, the silence goes on as we think of anything to say “Hey, that isn’t right” Saying those words as the lights dance before my eyes “Ah thank you”
Even now I can hear your voice echoing to me Sitting with you I feel butterflies stirring inside Whenever our shoulders would meet Breathing a sigh as my breath slowly disappears in the sky I’ve never felt this before, this feeling tonight
When I hear you call my name everything is a blur I feel warm inside Say it again and again for me, bet you don’t mind You’re easy to tease all the time Reaching out for your hand, lost in this moment between us two Here’s my answer to you
So I was recommended this really nice and aesthetic song by one of my friends bluejaysong and was inspired to co-cover(?) this song with my other friend Merobean for a dual cover upload just for fun! The original artist Alec Benjamin also released an official Mandarin version of this song called 你的目光 which Mero covered on her channel so go checkout her version of the song below. Thanks for listening!
So I have this thing where I enjoy forcing- I mean encouraging my friends who do not sing to try recording covers and things and at long last I have succeed in convincing thebluejaysong to collab with me! She made the unfortunate mistake of mentioning she was interested in possibly doing music (much to our benefit) and made a deal she never thought would happen to record something. And since this guy here is a great negotiator and is persistent when it's time to collect, here's our slightly janky but still legitimate cover of If The World Was Ending by JP Saxe feat. Julia Michaels! (also kindly help me convince bluecraycraysong that she can indeed sing and should do more in the future, hint hint). She also streams a variety of games on twitch so go giver her streams a watch sometime! twitch.tv/bluejaysong
We're back with more Police Piccadilly and Sugar Guitar! Admittedly this is probably isn't the best cause of the key change (and my original first take's fail at emulating Izumi's rockstar version) but this song had been stuck in my head for the past year and I really liked this song's throwback retro sound and melody. English translyrics are by Road with some slight edits in places for a more consistent rhyme scheme. Thanks of watching/listening, I think Rumor will mostly likely be my next Police Piccadilly song soon-

Oh boy I've waited for this one for a long time, I feel like I say this for each one but this one is legit one of my favorites in the HoneyWorks series! Souta's song and sequel to A Solution For Jealousy, I distinctly remember how excited I was when the song was released at Comiket (making them kind of canon?), then disappointed that it poofed for two years before finally getting a glorious PV and CV version.
Anyway I am very happy to have both Robby and roux back as usual as my Souta and Akari! This song's lyrics were tricky to adapt as there's so many references to both versions of A Solution For Jealousy as well as parallels at Akari's perspective song, but I think I got something pretty good in the end (ofc with just a little bit of Souta's snark and embarrassment). I may have also been a little overly ambitious with the rhyming scheme in the verses but Jeff's favorite songs get Jeff's most intense and cracked out lyrics. Thanks for watching and listening!
(And before anyone asks, yes I am also working on Akari's counterpart song which is coming up next...)
-English Lyrics- I’m aware that I can’t help but stare Right at you, do you know too? You shine bright like a star in the night Or a film that they all wished they knew too
Jealousy, it just takes over me Even though you’re not mine, so I just wait on the side everyday ‘Till you try and reply to me either way
And you still smile for everyone Hiding all that you feel just be honest for once (I don’t, understand love, this awkward stuff) Say it to me, I’m listening After all, I guess my best is not enough
Just your name, it’s the word that I always say I feel the same, falling for you again each day “What is it?”, asking now when it’s just us two I brush your cheek, with my hand not thinking through Oh can’t you see, I’m still deep in love with you
Up and down, shopping all over town Every street’s lit so brightly Saw a scarf I thought you’d like a lot And I know it would match you, that’s what I thought
Wondering 'cause we’re not quite a thing If it’s strange giving you a gift Not expecting a thing in the end Since I’m not like your boyfriend
Maybe we don’t match after all It’s like you disappeared, maybe it’s my fault (I can hear you calling out, above the crowd) Saying goodbye, let down inside I heard your voice, did you come after I called?
Just your name, it’s the word that I always say I feel the same, falling for you again each day “Here you go”, awkwardly I gave it to you And then you smiled, as you gave me your present too Your hands trembling, for the first time you smiled true
Quieting down, it all fades away Thinking of something to say “Did you decide, this all on your own?” Tears in my eyes, my heart is aglow
You are there, for me no matter where we go Even right here, it’s a feeling that I know “Hey Souta, are you busy or maybe free?” You took my hand and we ran, is this a dream
Now here with you as we move close This might push us apart or feelings may grow (Unsure of what to do, right here with you) But here today, I’m not afraid Of my love for you, I’m glad these feelings stayed
Just your name, it’s the word that I always say I feel the same, falling for you again each day “What is it?”, you asked playfully smiling bright Then you laughed out, and you caught me by surprise Without a doubt, falling for you again tonight
And side by side, your hand in mine You answered right
It's been years since I covered a more upbeat j-rock song, please excuse my vocal rusty-ness! Small update but I recently upgraded my home set-up so I can finally record more things on a reliable schedule as well as being able to yell- I mean sing louder songs without causing noise complaints! Not that I have much power to begin with, but I'm hoping to cover lots of songs soon that I had kept putting off because I couldn't really project properly at home since I finished uni, hence this song! Special thanks to Kata for re-inspiring me to cover this song with his version (as well as dreams to one day sound as pro and cool as Izumi's covers) and ofc to Rachie for writing the wonderful lyrics for this song that I borrowed here. Thanks for listening/watching!
We are back with another HoneyWorks series collab with Otome-domo yo. feat. Saki once again as our Karen Miura! Despite originally being written for the anime O Maidens in Your Savage, the song was retconned into the Love Confession Executive Committee series serving as Miura's character song! This song shows the things from Karen's perspective after the school bullying incident covered in Assertion of the Heart, prompting her to reluctantly turn down unamed male love interest's advances in fear of attracting attention and bullying again. But in true HoneyWorks fashion, the fuwa feels always has a way of working out in the end right?
Despite of awkw phrases from the original anime's source material, this one was fun to work on and Saki is always a pleasure to collab with! She's a big fan of the series so I'm glad we were finally able to do a Saki solo in my series collab! Thanks for watching!
-English Lyrics- Open the book, here it’s begun Turning the pages one by one Looking for “love”, the word is missing Hasn’t been written yet it would seem
Fifteen pages I, felt so bored and couldn’t help but sigh Then I turned, another page and felt my breath get caught, as if in shock Feelings that you can’t convey, words that I could never say Pushed me down, like I was drowning, something I once felt a lot
With a pretty public face, I was perfect, clean everyday But I learned that’s not the case, inside I would ache
Even if sometimes my heart will burn, I will keep reading though it may hurt Leave my pure image here and step out, so that I can meet you now Maidens be fearless, give it your all Maidens be ready, answer my call Soon you will learn and push through the pain Don’t need a bookmark now anyway
If we would go out, what are we supposed to do now Would we have to do “it” after all, I must say no, I’ll never go They like those so “pure and sweet”, something kind of troubling Yet again, the guys confuse me, and I wonder what they know
But I know someday in time, everyone will fall in love then Though I wonder deep inside, turning pages again
Even if it may feel really strange, I won’t scared, I know I will change Though they all laughed at you in the past, go and flip them off right back Maidens be proud and hold head high Maidens fight on and reach to the sky Though your heart hurts and you wanna cry Know that it’s also warm inside
If you keep on reading on, it may hurt right in the moment But eventually it’s gone, so have fun, go for it
And today maidens falling in love, trying their best is only enough Passing each other right on their way, as they turn to look and gaze Deep inside I know someone somewhere, is meant for me and waiting out there Maybe tomorrow or the next day, we will connect like everyone says
And that’s why even though my heart burned, I will keep reading though it may hurt Leave my pure image here and step out, get to know you deeper now Maidens be fearless, give it your all Maidens be ready, answer my call Soon you will learn and push through the pain Don’t need a bookmark now anyway On to the next page, I’m not afraid
(There are few moments that broke Nicovideo's chat as much as the moment when Haruki came home to see Miou)
As promised I am back with the next cover in the series with Ippun Ichibyou Kimi to Boku no feat. my lovely Class 3-2 cast returning as their respective characters! Originally by Sphere serving as the ending theme song to the first movie, instead I decided to bring back the usual cast and threw in Spiral/Sena to round out the four-person song (i mean she's in grade, close enough right...?). I know HoneyWorks already released an official English version of the song by Kaneïra, but I still wanted to try my own version of the song (can't do the complete series if we skip one). This one also wasn't translated very well previously so I had extra motivation to try and do Miou's epilogue song justice! Thanks again to my HoneyWorks staff for slaving away as always, more HoneyWorks is still coming very soon! Thanks for watching/listening!
-English Lyrics- I can’t forget a minute or more, a second of your story
See, there’s someone, chasing dreams Promises he made and fantasies See there’s someone there, confusing affair A first love making her feel weak
See, there’s someone, shining bright Looking to the future full of light See there’s someone strong, still walking along The tears she cried are now alright
So how about we, go on together All the times both good and bad Let’s make the most of each day and moment that we now have That we won’t get back Here this path is shining true
I can’t forget a minute or more, a second of all you said Looking above, all the stars show the way, my story that’s right ahead One more time, don’t you forget Come sit with me every time when you fall, trying with all your might Come rest your wings, for it all will be fine We’ll laugh and say “it’s alright”
A precious love to me, a precious love to me Right here, our glory days Is deep in you and me, deep in you and me Will live on always
That was the spring, my heart jumped Waiting for the day you’d talk to me That summer so hot, my heart, it would stop Whenever both our hands would meet
That was the fall, you and I Collided and we shared our love and knew And then I replied, that winter and tried ‘Cause everyone was there with you
So how about we, go on together Bringing everyone on track Let’s make the most of each day and moment that we now have That we won’t get back Flying to the future soon
I can’t forget a minute or more, a second of your bright grin Sending our dreams higher up to the sky, from here our tale begins Starting now and ending when I have your back if things get too hard, and you have mine again We will move forward, our journey ahead Working out in the end
I know it’s not goodbye, I know it’s not goodbye We’re joined forever now You’re here within my heart, you’re here within my heart Here without a doubt
Though sad, I won’t let it show Thank you all, it’s time to go Let’s take a big group photo Now we’re all here, precious and dear Our first picture cannot disappear
So how about we, go on together All the times both good and bad Let’s make the most of each day and moment that we now have That we won’t get back
I can’t forget a minute or more, a second of you each day I won’t be sad, I will hold my head high, I know it’ll be okay Here this path is shining true Flying to the future soon
I can’t forget a minute or more, a second of all you said Looking above, all the stars show the way, my story that’s right ahead One more time, don’t you forget Come sit with me every time when you fall, trying with all your might Come rest your wings, for it all will be fine, we’ll laugh and say “it’s alright”
A precious love to me, a precious love to me Right here, our glory days Is deep in you and me, deep in you and me Will live on always
We will move forward, our journey ahead “It will be fine”, I said Written in your story
Hi everyone, took a long time to get here but here's Blooming Into the Color of Love! These lyrics were written and planned back in 2018 not long after Tokyo Summer Session. Unfortunately I had to recast Natsuki which delayed the song for well over a year, but it conveniently gave me time to rework the song from a solo song to a large group collab!
If you're familiar with the HoneyWorks series, this song served as the opening to the first Confession Executive Committee movie and the pv/lyrics switches between the perspectives of all of the major characters in the first movie. Instead of a vanilla solo song, I thought it would be nice to bring in my entire HoneyWorks cast (minus those who don't appear in the first movie) to sing the lyrics that represent their characters! And as the first appearances, I'm very excited to welcome Saki, kiyzu and k*chan who are joining as Karen, Midori and Hiyori! And graciously taking over for Natsuki from this song and onward is Takara who gives Chico a run for her money here!
Thanks everyone for always coming back (or joining!) for all my HoneyWorks collabs and if all goes according to plan, 2021 should have more HoneyWorks coming up soon!
-English Lyrics- Running from the pain yesterday, to feelings bright today We'll start again anew Though we might run out of breath We will carry on, tomorrow's coming soon
Always on my own, my heart would talk to itself Growing used to being on my own "I gotta stop this loneliness" it's never nice all alone
Surely everyone I know would change if they could "I don't wanna always stay the same" So I should stand up tall and give my best, and cast off all the shame
"It's ok, I will always protect you" Shouting so you could maybe hear These childish days, gradually disappear One day your love will Shine full of colors until they match to mine
And now all the hate we had yesterday, is fading right away Our hearts beating in sync Still we run and can't give up Tomorrow's coming faster than anyone thinks
Surely love is something that you cannot touch Something strange that we don't understand Before you know, you're in too deep And you wonder when it began
Reaching to connect for someone else's sake Try to act mature, really cool But it's so hard to always hide my heart While being honest too
From a distance, I watch you closely Though I try, I'm still a step behind If I could tell you, all I'm feeling deep inside Maybe confessing Would stop your guessing and change how you see me
And today we pledged to let others in, and love might soon begin A future we don't know But we're young and this is new Tomorrow's bringing something more as feelings grow
Empty and cold, what a cruel world I feel so dead inside, cannot breathe, cannot hide Open your eyes, don't you dare cry There is more than you see, there is hope if you believe Trust me, I'm asking please
Colors changing at every moment Days of fun, they blur in different hues We're different still, can we match me and you One day our love might Burst full of radiant light to see this through
We're still running from the pain yesterday, to feelings bright today We'll start again anew Though we might run out of breath We will carry on, tomorrow's coming soon The color of our love surely soon will bloom
Hope everyone's having a good 2021 so far! First upload for the new year, this is a redo cover that I originally did back in 2011 as the first upload on this channel so I thought it would be an appropriate start for this year! Like before lyrics are the OG iconic lyrics by Ashe. Thanks for listening/watching and here's to a good 2021!
Hi everyone, lately I've been a bit uninspired by Vocaloid music so I thought it would be a nice opportunity to go back and redo some of my old covers that haven't aged too well and could be better with my better skill and audio equipment. One of my earlier covers was of Pierrot which I distinctly remember suffering while recording the entire song because of the range and my valiant attempt to match ShounenT who was one of my early Nico inspirations. It was nice but kind of strained and janky so fast-forward 8 years and here we are for attempt #2! Thanks for listening/watching!
Special thanks to Sher for working on the illustration and Kusa/Haipew for input and pointers on the video composition!
2020 seems to be the year that Jeff revives and finishes all these old collabs that were planned years ago, so here's another! I think I wrote these lyrics back around 2015 or so and were in limbo for years, thanks for joining me for all the old-school fuwas Spiral! We're slowly working on covering all these classic Vocaloid songs that I missed out on years ago when I was on and off of hiatus. Also thanks for Rukineru and Fox for the art and animation respectively!
-English Lyrics- Smiling so brightly from up in space Stars shine so brightly with a heavenly grace Gazing above, just me and you
Watching the sky darken through the night Searching for just a little sign to give light And answer if what we feel is true
That night we made a promise underneath the sky Exchanging every secret we once tried to hide We laughed aloud and knew, that just between us two That there will always be me and you
Falling ever deeper into love, underneath the endless sky above The stardust shimmers upon our fingertips, as we trace our dream in the night Gently glowing soft and faint, the light, slowly grows into a bright and shining might Together wishing, upon a pair of stars For we’ll always be near if we’re apart
Searching and trying a thousand ways To find the words and things I wish I could say So speechless when I look to you Thinking and trying a thousand more To let you know you’re everything I wish for But words alone just never do
There’s no one in the world I’d rather have with me Just like the stars we form a pair in harmony I softly call your name, and then you the sigh the same And hope that nothing will ever change
Drifting off into the sleepless night, the stars and moon reflect a dimming light Although the night slowly reaches towards its end, I know soon I’ll see you again Even though tonight you may shed a tear, it shimmers like the stars that soon will disappear Like passing comets, your face so calm and peaceful They soar through the night, upon their flight
Falling ever deeper into love, underneath the endless sky above I slightly shiver as rays of light surround us and spread across the sky Gently glowing soft and faint the light, slowly grows into a bright and shining might Together wishing, upon a pair of stars For we’ll always be near if we’re apart Forever you’ll be here in my heart【✦nike】 Mind Voice -English Cover- (マインドボイス)JefferzKM2020-09-13 | ♦Mp3: jefferzkm.com/covers/vocaloid-collab-cover/mind-voice-english ♦English Lyrics: jefferzkm.com/translyrics-vocaloid/mind-voice
Hi everyone, today is a good day because it's the day I can finally upload and finish this collab from 2016! There were lots of delays (thanks nike and Tsu for the patience!), but hopefully it was worth the wait!
Samfree was one of the early nico music producers that got me into the Vocaloid and utaite/youtaite scene years ago (and his professional anime songs were great!) but when he unexpectedly passed away, I felt inspired to adapt and cover the last song he had released which was Mind Voice. In hindsight it's an appropriate song about trusting and believing in yourself despite what others and life may tell you and I had a good time walking down memory lane working on it. I also had to tap nike as she has such a lovely smooth and textured voice that adds class to pop songs, thanks again for the amazing vocals nike! Also thanks to Tsu and Aixu for the beautiful visuals for this upload! Thanks for watching!
-English Lyrics- I cover my eyes, as if I could hide, from all of these thoughts at last Without a focus, I never did notice, how time will always hurry on and pass Sometimes I fall down, I wanna just give up, while fighting back my tears But I've never would give up, and so I've made it here
Though I'm standing opposite what may be right Am I automatically wrong? If we could maybe, try to see, another choice along
Although we don't know what to do, I won't let others make me move Just listen to your heart inside, that voice within your mind You say you wanna make a change, while I'm just living day by day But don't you see, we're both just the same
The sun rays are blazing, the cold wind is raging, while I'm going fine along My path's always turning, the splits and the warnings, this road that I'm walking goes on and on The person before me, and shadow behind me, though different none of us know Where our lives will surely go, the things tomorrow holds
When you hit a crossroad where your path divides, do you wonder what it could be? Repeating choices you had made, would it change who you'd be
Is anybody truly free, or just a puppet held by strings We're guided by our hearts inside, desires you can't hide No matter if we run ahead, somehow we wind up back instead We'll never stop, those words we both said
Looking back I realized that we were young and didn't know Even now it's not so different, even though we both have grown Tell me where are we, struggling to reach I don't know, anymore, I don't know, what it's for
Hi everyone, back with another HoneyWorks cover in my HoneyWorks series collab featuring saku as Arisa (next pair is complete)! It's been years since this song first came out but I remember completely misinterpreting what was going on in the song and pv originally but also thinking "wow full colored renders throughout the whole song!" Anyway saku is always great to work with and this was no exemption, thanks again for singing this song and welcome to my HoneyWorks vocal slaves- i mean cast! Thanks for watching!
-English Lyrics- My kindness is shattered as I breakdown Watching my tears all fall to the ground Why tell me why, couldn’t I say a thing or try
Someone pointed and laughed, right to her back Saying out loud “i hate her” Dread filling her head Everyone else always a blur
Hearing so many sighs, mean shifting eyes Everyone calling her names Mocking and while nodding In agreement, what a shame
Tell me how much pain, must we bear as we grow More mature, one day they’ll know My heart trembling, aching can’t you see
Throbbing away, I did my best to ignore and hide My heart that broke in two inside *Scared through and through, what could I do I just ran My kindness is shattered as I breakdown Watching my tears all fall to the ground Why tell me why, couldn’t I say a thing or try
Did I hear on TV, who we should be Someone spoke so inspiring “Hate is pretty lame And boring, change and live proudly”
So I made up mind, all on the line To be who I chose to be Out with all the doubt No hesitation, only me
Opening the door, I spoke loudly and clear With no trace of any fear “Stop it now!” I say, “this isn’t okay”
Cries of my heart, free of the shackles of hopelessness Standing against them and nothing less If it’s in vain, and it’s the same I still tried Telling to my kindness “I’m back again” Sorry it took me so long my friend No more regrets, now things are right, is it done yet…
Not quite surprised, this is something I had known Now I’m their target and I’m sitting all alone At least it is just me, whispering it softly But for some strange reason I’m not worried or afraid Zero bitterness, I don’t regret that it’s this way I’ve ignored it too long, so today I’ll be strong
Tell me how much pain, must we bear as we grow More mature, one day they’ll know Someone won’t you please, say it now to me
Putting my heart, and all my soul into this today Would you believe in what I will say I want to be, honest to you and trusting
My kindness that shattered begins to glow Smiling a “thank you”, and so much more Words strange to me, embarrassing, a new feeling
Here's my cover and take on Harumaki Gohan's August Rainy! I've been really into their songs lately and it's been nice seeing their songs covered a lot lately so I thought it'd be cool to do one of their older, lesser-known song August Rainy (I also love Izu's cover of this song a lot!)! I realized this is one of those songs that doesn't translate and adapt well but I had already written majority of the song at that point and was like "oh well, let's just run with it and see what happens" lol! Thanks for listening/watching!
English Lyrics: (please credit/link back to my channel if used)
Soon August came to a close, I felt the call at twilight Overflowing through my clothes, the warmth and feelings that night People gathering around, the goldfish splashing out like they do As August came to a close, everyone could only see you
Sunset fading as all colors would blend The lights surround your face with indigo hues All the hanging lights shine brightly, surrounding me Painting the night, an iridescent view
You and August fell deep in your love Summer couldn’t last long enough Everything around starts to blur And then soon I’d learn
Rainy, Rainy, Rainy you’ve been waiting For the fireworks in the sky Every year, the months pass on by Rainy, Rainy, Rainy I hope you can see Somewhere out there in this summer heat
I can’t remember, who was right or wrong Doesn’t really matter much now after all Day before the fireworks, it was gone Don’t know who was really at fault, ah
Soon August came to a close, under the shimmering sky In between the sounds I froze, you left with “bye bye”
I remember now the yoyo you brought around Swinging back and forth, my eyes followed you Suddenly I felt the air grow a little cold Then you faded, now I’m alone
Rainy, Rainy, Rainy where did you go Though you’re gone and drifted away You’re still in my mind, here to stay Rainy, Rainy, Rainy I want to know Do you long for summer on your own
I remember now the yoyo you brought around Suddenly I felt the air grow a little cold I remember now the yoyo you brought around Suddenly I felt the air grow a little cold
Rainy, Rainy, Rainy, you remember Almost drowned, but you didn’t care Thinking back, the warm summer air Rainy, Rainy, Rainy, you still chose to stay Just to see the lights dance anyway
I went out with you that night, it rained and it was hazy That’s when I decided I, would you call you rainy
I never thought I'd ever be able to put "don't you wish that you could tap that" in an English set of translyrics but it actually worked here so please excuse the comedic localization-
We're moving along in the series (jumping a few songs, dw I'll be going back to do them, we're just jumping around based on whichever vocalist finishes recording first) and we're continuing with Class 1-1! Chris graciously stepped in after my previous Ken was unable to record but I'm happy to finally see this one finished (these lyrics are from 2016-)! As with my other HoneyWorks collabs, Chris will be filling in every time Ken pops up (yes I eventually plan to also work on Namaiki Honey too)!
Ngl I've been really looking forward to this song in the series purely because it's so different and cocky for the HoneyWorks series standards (though of course it's still very fuwa). This one was particularly tricky because of the unusual tempo and phrasing in the verses while still trying to retain the playful nature of the song, but I think I got something pretty good in the end!
Special thanks to Sorachu for the on-screen text translations (they really add a lot to the pv imo!) and Kusa for After Effects shortcuts and pre-comp tips for smoother keyframing on the subs! Thanks for watching!
-English Lyrics- You're so mean, everytime that you speak Yet you always seem to shoot me the right through my heart Playing cool, though I act pretty cruel I can't let my disguise fall apart
I'm the master of the mind I twist their feelings however I like Grown up from that pitiful boy, who would cry, The me that I always hide
Don't expect commitment please For it's just fun, so take it easy Don't you wish that you could tap that, it's the game Of love that we always play
And that time seemed, just like a normal day So cool and, smooth I knew what to say All my pick-up lines, will surely make her mine
And then out of nowhere, you knocked me coldly "That's totally lame", you said so boldly I laughed aloud to hide, how you just caught me off so surprised
You're so mean, everytime that you speak Yet you always seem to shoot me the right through my heart Playing cool, though I act pretty cruel I won't let you just tear me apart
Stubbornly I called the shots For with new lines, I'll give it all I've got There! I've got you hot and bothered, it's a sign I'll win, you'll see soon in time
Everyday I'm, thinking how to walk to you //skip for now By chance or, just a cheesy excuse All of this is new, 'cause winging it is not what I do
There for just a second, with giggle to me Saying "thank you", so cute and smiling And as you turned leave, I felt my heart beat so crazily
You're so mean, everytime that you speak Yet you always seem to make my heart fly around Bittersweet, something foreign to me It's your tonic of love, with me now
What I say, do you hear it okay? Do my words ever mean anything real to you? Will you see if I speak truthfully If I just could get through
Speaking loud, I'll honest and proud For a chance that you might feel something more for me With all my heart, letting down every guard I'll do anything so you'll maybe see
Hi all, hope everyone's staying safe and living their best quarantined, social distancing life (for once the online computer life is recommended)! Can't quite remember who suggested this originally, but I remember asking my TL for song suggestions and this one came up several times! I wrote the lyrics about a year ago and recently re-recorded it this month, I was a fan of the cool song composition and distinctive guitar line throughout the song. Thanks for listening!
English Lyrics: (please credit/link back to my channel if used)
As if I’m crushed by snow, the world around me feels so cold I cannot seem to breathe The colors fade to gray, I push these feelings away Tell me what’s wrong with me
Your image that I see, now faint, it’s blurred and hazy But I can’t break my gaze My voice won’t come around, I’m choked up, can’t make a sound I don’t know what to say
“It’s a promise okay, we can talk some other day” Avoiding, and you left me still confused Now I can’t even sleep, dawn arrives but all I think About is all your words in my head cutting deep Piercing into me
I feel this love is broken and it cannot be repaired It doesn’t matter in the end how much I care And now I find myself wishing that this whole world would just end Oh please, oh please, kill me Stop this constant misery
And still I go along, another chapter stretched on Where does this story go? I used to feel such pain, but something’s new, not the same An anger I don’t know
Looking back to that time, when we stood side by side Do you, know I that I did it just for you With the sun shining bright, nothing seemed to be alright Yet again, there’s no change in the end
That setting sun above is laughing and winking As it continues shining bright, never sinking It throws a spotlight on our faces grieving, putting us on a stage Oh please, oh please, just set this sad scene ablaze
I cannot break this cycle, a circle, in a constant loop I start to bring up something new, but then I stop, I can’t get through This day only brings heartache, though tired still I only want to stay Oh please, oh please, I won’t see you look away
How long will this keep going I cannot bear not knowing If we destroyed it all now No disappointment, no doubt
A little blast from the past, Mero and I collabed on this song six years ago and though it still sounds good, I always wanted to try and redo the cover with better our better audio equipment and skills! Over the yrs this has still been one of my favorite duets and Mero lyrics so I really wanted to revisit it and do it more justice! And so we're back with slightly tweaked lyrics (that I apparently can't read bc i kept mistakenly recording the original 2014 lyrics by memory), beautiful illustrations and video by tsuukiusa and Raina respectively (thank you both again!) and a lot of nostalgia! Hopefully this is a nice glow-up, thanks for listening/watching!
English Lyrics: (please credit/link back to Mero's channel if used) Our story starts by accident, I’d like to call it a coincidence I saw a stranger walking by, her scarlet cloak untied
Inside the forest of mysterious things I wouldn’t know if trouble was happening I felt afraid that creatures might gobble me And so I peered around to see
“First time we met” “Couldn’t look away” “Leading to” “A sad scenario” If I could be near you Then I’d rather take the long way
“I’m really missing you” and “I want to hold you” and that “I want to talk with you”, these words forbidden You are so innocent and I am so cautious but Our “meeting” ends When hunters come to break us
Fate is cruel even if I come to curse myself 'Cause we have bonds that none can tear apart Ah, why am I? Even so, why are you? The lonely wolf that fell in love with little red riding hood
Today is such a lovely day I’m almost sure you’ll come and maybe stay I’d like to talk to you, but I’m afraid That you’ll be scared and hurry away
I see you watching me again today Behind that tree, like you did yesterday Though I pretend that I didn’t see you Won’t you come and take me far away?
“We stare into” “Each other’s eyes” “Hoping for” “Just another night” Longing to be together Even if it takes forever
I can’t be next to you and I can’t be holding you and I can’t go laugh with you If time keeps moving You are so delicate and I am so stubborn But it’s fine if we can always stay together
If what we have is love, then we wouldn’t be so lost About all the challenges we have to face Ah, thinking now, I’m starting to have doubts About our ending, and now the answer is vanishing
“I’m really missing you” and “I want to hold you” and that “I want to talk with you”, these words forbidden You are my everything and I will be kind to you though What we have is bound to be an ending
Countless times, I had to Countless times, I had to Send all my wishes to the ones above But reality is We can’t deny we exist The lonely wolf that fell in love with Little red riding hood
I know you hurt inside, the pain of ours won’t subside I wanted to hold you, but my arms are trembling We know we feel the same and We know we want the same, but What we need, won’t ever be received Though I had struggled even Though I had wished for that my Fangs and my claws would some day disappear
I’ll keep on watching you from the dark Until you are just so far That I’ll be waiting at the same tree that you walked past At last【Jefferz】 Modern Loneliness Cover -Piano Arrange- (Lauv)JefferzKM2020-03-08 | ♦Mp3: jefferzkm.com/covers/modern-loneliness
I haven't been following Western music much lately but a lot of people have been talking about lauv's music and this song off his new album was really relatable and beautiful. It's been a while since I've used this much head/falsetto range so I consider this a more experimental kind of cover, but hopefully it came out right! Thanks for listening and thank you lauv for writing such amazing music!
Hi everyone, this is a little different than the usual but this is my first attempt at writing translyrics for a kpop song! I've been really getting into kpop music the last year or two and have quietly been working on some translyrics and collabs the last year so hopefully they'll be more soon! I've really missed writing regular straight pop-style lyrics vs the more anime/Vocaloid type of lyrics. I'm still planning on covering anisong/Vocaloid music though so it's not like I'm completely shifting my YT channel though!
Sorachu also graciously volunteered to be my first v̶i̶c̶t̶i̶m̶ collab, she's like the Red Velvet and Irene queen here! I also wanted to cover this song because Eric Nam was one of my gateway drug/artists getting into kpop music, so it's a double-score with this song. Thanks for listening!
English Lyrics: (please credit/link back to my channel if used) The snow was falling, as you walked me to the bus stop casually Then you held my hand, and suprised, I wasn't quite sure what to think Do you notice how I've been hiding my heart so you wouldn't see Feel this wind that's billowing A feeling soon spreading This is love
It falls in my heart so sweet, falling for you and me A name that only we know, that fell right into place Like it was fate And holding your hand in mine, lightening clothes in time It's spreading warming us all I like feeling you near, and spring soon is here
You were just a friend, someone just like a sister when we met The skirts and makeup later on looked good on you, I didn't notice then Do you know what happened, to change~ the way I feel 'bout you Maybe it's crazy Can I call you my baby, yeah
It falls in my heart so sweet, falling for you and me A name that only we know, that fell right into place Like it was fate And holding your hand in mine, lightening clothes in time It's spreading warming us all I like feeling you near
Falling asleep right next to you Out on a bench Leaning against each other too Sweet cherry blossom Why couldn't we meet like this Thinking if only we knew Spring in bloom, soon ooh How I love you, I do love you, loving you oh yeah
Would you be the spring to me, and I would bloom you'd see Our hearts are melting to one like nothing else before And even more These feelings we didn't know, feelings that only grow Something is starting to bloom, this warmth that we have found As spring comes around
Let's take a step to 2020!- (sorry is it too early for really bad puns?)
I've always wanted to organize a nice English collab of one of halyosy's group songs, thank you Angela for being my organizing partner in crime to and to all the staff who did such amazing things to make this collab happen! Also thanks to all the vocalist who were so on-it making my mixing job a breeze! Here's hoping 2020's a great one with many more good things to come!
Hi everyone, it's been awhile! I've been really busy working on a lot of projects so I haven't had a chance to record any new solo covers, but here's a collab I did with sayri on Tsukada Takashige's song miss you! I've wanted to cover this song for years after I heard my friend yoru's cover back in 2014 and had written these lyrics a few years ago. Sadly my range did not work with this song, so instead sayri graciously stepped in and here we are! It's been a while since I worked on these lyrics but I remember specifically trying to adapt this song as if it were a regular Western pop song, so hopefully the lyrics sound more of what you might hear on the radio avoiding the distinctive "anime/vocaloid adapted song translation" sound that can sound odd to people unfamiliar with anime/Vocaloid style music.
If you don't already follow her channel and covers, she another long-time English translyrics-writer who does lots of great Vocaloid English covers, I really recommend it and have covered her lyrics too! Special thanks to k. who worked on the visual animation and saved this project from eternal limbo!
English Lyrics: (please credit/link back to my channel if used) Oh where did you suddenly go to leave me here behind
Missing you lover, please close to I'll hold you to the end of time
How the air feels cold, every night when I'm lonely Like you took the warmth, on the day you chose to leave Holding back the tears, that I feel thinking back then I won't let them fall, I swore I wouldn't cry again
Although I'm lost and hurt, I couldn't hate you if I tried I could never bring myself to say this is goodbye
Oh where did you suddenly go to leave me here behind Missing you lover, please close to If you wait I'll be there at your side We'll lie down under the heavens only you and I Wanna be your star in the moonlight Please don't let me sleep alone at night Vanishing are all my memories, disappearing in the past that we shared Every morning precious as can be, if only you were there Don't say goodbye
Thinking back in time, so many happy days we both shared Where did I go wrong, oh tell me could we be repaired An "I love you", why couldn't I be true But it's too late now there's not a thing that I can do
Even when we would fight, I couldn't stay mad at you no Why couldn't I realize that one day you would go
Without you each passing day feels colder than before Would you still kiss me, would you still hug me Do you know you're all I'm wishing for My mind weaving beautiful dreams of love while I'm asleep Missing you lover, please close to I don't wanna leave this fantasy Acting strong I pushed you far too long, when I should've let you in and play cool Now I'm left with nothing all alone, I'm nothing but a fool
Moving on, all the people say to just forget But losing you is far too much to lose, one day I may regret Loving you too much, how I miss your touch, even though I don't know when I will, always wait for the day until I see you again
You asked me so long ago, but now I truly know This is my answer, this is love It's the two of us I'm dreaming of I promise to be at your side, I swear I'll make you smile Missing you lover, please close to Oh you'll know I'll make it all worthwhile
Hey everyone, this is the last solo cover I had worked on and recorded in the first half of 2019 mostly inspired by the cute pv (Tama's illustrations are so fitting for this style of song)! Special thanks to Sorachu for checking the translation and my lyrics to make sure I was completely making up a new song as the original rough translation was pretty abstract and vague. Thanks for listening!
English Lyrics: (please credit/link back to my channel if used)
Five seconds, closing my eyes, I thought of words all in my head But all that came right to mind, this stranger I didn't know yet And usually by this time, I'd easily express it right But here this paper is clean, still blank and white
A mirror shows the things you hide, reflecting how I feel inside My heart is cloudy, my head feels fuzzy A mess as feelings all collide
Like a meteor shower, the words are flowing endlessly In the dark, I'm still searching for, the missing puzzle piece Now I gaze up to the deep sky All while wondering why Now I, figured out why I couldn't see You gave it to me
I kept it all to myself, a feeling nobody else knew I hid it even from you, and though i tried, it only grew Before I even realized, I couldn't get you off my mind I thought "this all needs to stop", and so I tried
But then when both of our eyes met My heart jumped right out of my chest In just one second, only a second The world slowed, like we were alone
Like a meteor shower, the words are shining, taking flight Sparkling bright out in the night, then fading fast from sight Breaking through the thick stratosphere And suddenly it all is clear Gently, seizing the moment nervously I reach for it tightly
These things I hide inside, will never come to light This little nervous feeling You stepped in, and saved it then from breaking
Like a meteor shower, the words are flowing endlessly I reach out my hand in the dark, would you reach out for me? Rewriting it 'til it's perfect I won't stop, I can't yet All of the, words that I write down are true And this, light on us will always shine on too 'Cause I like you【Jefferz】 Twilight Express (English Cover) (トワイライト急行) 【19 -iku-】JefferzKM2019-07-28 | ♦Mp3: jefferzkm.com/covers/vocaloid-cover/twilight-express-english ♦English Lyrics: jefferzkm.com/translyrics-vocaloid/twilight-express

In typical Jeff fashion, we have a winter-esque song covered in the middle of summer, though to be fair I did record this back during spring... which is honestly not much better...
This another really sweet song that should be up there with some of other 19 -iku-'s popular uploads (i've done several over the years), I loved this song's story and how everything ends by the last few stanzas (though this song was quite a mouthful to write adapted lyrics for)! They're so good at writing honest relatable songs to things many people go through without needing to do anything overly flashy lyric or music composition-wise. Thanks for listening!
English Lyrics: (please credit/link back to my channel if used)
The snow falling down and at Sapporo Station here and now Both of us out on the platform wrapped up in a scarf, it was so cold Your hands frozen in mine, I look up at the time As I'm waiting for the South train to go
Although you said you wouldn't see me off, it's not important after all But then you randomly showed up with a red nose outside my house "Had an errand just around, thought I'd stop by anyhow" You said without a doubt
There's so much that I want to say, right now today That I can't put in words For everytime I start and try, I want to cry I'm choked up, what to do And in the end I couldn't say a thing to you
And here we're walking through this day gradually As uncertainty and doubts are weighing down on me I'm asking, don't forget That I was ever here; that we had met To reach the stars, there's choices sometimes hard Now I have to leave although it tears me right apart These things I couldn't say They'll live on in my heart and I know they'll always be here to stay
And with another sip, I quickly finished up my can of coffee so That I could hold both of your hands, and cherish every moment here "It's time for me to leave, I'll write, you'll hear from me" I said letting you go with no tears
You stood up, wrapping me with your scarf and buried your head in my chest Taking me by surprise, so close that I could feel each breath and sigh "Take care with all you do, I'll always love you" I gazed up to the sky
Through the closing doors I see, you sniffling "Let's meet again, okay" Even though you look a mess, you nod "yes" You smile but in your eyes I see the sadness you had tried your best to hide
And once again I know we're always growing more New beginnings followed by farewells we've all had before I know I won't forget That I was here with you, the days we spent Although it'd so easy, we could stay the same But that's not the choice we're choosing, some things have to change And I'll hold on to hope And look towards the time when we meet again and I'll hold you close
Your figure on the platform, growing smaller as the train leaves rapidly And I cannot stop myself from crying All of my thoughts were of you, then I suddenly knew When you gave me smiling, your scarf so warmly I'll always have you here with me
And here we're still walking through this certain day All the smiles and tears we shared will never fade away I'll always hold them dear Your words and voice, they echo in my ears To reach the stars, there's choices sometimes hard So I had to leave although it tore me right apart The things I couldn't say I think that I will tell you them someday
The day that I first met you, I can still see it now And the first day that I held your hand and let it out I know I won't forget That we were here together 'til the end The dreary sky above and this familiar scent All the times we spent together up to this moment All of our memories I'll cherish them until the day, we can make more you and me
Where snow falls down, I'm at Sapporo station here and now I'm all alone on the platform wrapped up in your scarf all around My hands are warm this time, I hold them at my side As I'm waiting by myself in this town
Although I said it's fine, and you don't have to pick me up, you only laughed Over the phone, familiar words that I had heard you say before "Had an errand out today, funny chance, wouldn't you say?" Sounding innocent, that same voice I that adore【Jefferz】 Near (English Cover) (ニア) 【夏代孝明】JefferzKM2019-06-23 | ♦Mp3: jefferzkm.com/covers/vocaloid-cover/near-english ♦English Lyrics: jefferzkm.com/translyrics-vocaloid/near
This song, this song has been something I've been trying to cover for the last two years but could never find a key that could work with my narrow vocal range. In general I love all of natsushiro's songs and how ambiguous the context of the lyrics are (what's going on, are they survivors of an apocalypse, did the scientist have regrets from killing humanity, is this merely an old man's last days with his beloved creation, we just want to know!). Thanks for listening!

Hey there, Near If I should choose to not make fun of someone else With no apology to them or to myself A horrible and empty person, do you see What do you, now think of me?
Hey there Near If I should live without a purpose or goal And life passing right on by before you know A boring, dull and hopeless person, do you see What do you, now think of me? Hey there, Near
(hello hello, I'm Near, where are you?)
Hey there, Near I laugh with a big grin stuck on my face I always smile through everyday, what a waste An arrogant and noble person, do you see What do you, now think of me?
There's many things we can't account for, thoughts and factors grow They complicate the process and the principles we know Even so
Ah, I choose to believe Though you lack a heart I ask these questions, like hey what's on your mind Do you know, you make me feel whole Even more because your hands are warmer than both of mine
Hey there, Near When I young I dreamed 'bout who I'd be And as I grew I stayed on track, you agree? And now my future came to life, do you see What do you, now think of me?
I am always by your side, Near
Ah, I don't understand In this world, tomorrow isn't certain, did I misread this time I'm confused, not sure what to do Mixed up because I can feel your hands shaking more than mine
Hey there, Near If I should choose to not make fun of someone else With no apology to them or to myself How do you feel about this person that you see I'm asking, now about me?
Ah, I hold on to hope Even though this moment can't be changed and my world is breaking down Promise here, you won't disappear I will not forget about this place you and I have found
Ah, I choose to believe You don't sleep but still I ask these questions, hey what's on your mind Do you know, you make me feel whole Even more because your hands are warmer than both of mine Always so much warmer now all the time【Jefferz】 Parade -Acoustic Arrange- (English Cover) (パレード) 【n-buna】JefferzKM2019-06-01 | ♦Mp3: jefferzkm.com/covers/vocaloid-cover/parade-english ♦English Lyrics: jefferzkm.com/translyrics-vocaloid/parade
Hi everyone, this is my first (of probably several?) cover and take on a yorushika song! n-buna does it again with that meaningful and deep mood and atmosphere. Thanks for listening!
English Lyrics: (please credit/link back to my channel if used)
If there’s a heart inside Below this throat of mine I think to myself, as I feel it beating In my chest, yes, I know you’re here with me
I’ve known and realized No matter how I try As time passes on, there will be soon a day I’ll forget, even your smiling face
I want to know when The moment thoughts begin To slowly take form, into words I should say But they’re caught, in my throat where they stay
And just like that the dawn comes around
I hope that these memories never fade I hope that this~ song will always be played I can’t forget yet, just wait until you first see And watch my own lonely parade please
I honestly believed In some divinity That god resonated in your gentle touch In your hands, that I’m still missing so much
I’ve known before today And even yesterday For such a long time, long ago somewhere far in the past Yes, I’ve known that
I feel like deep inside Below this throat of mine So many days I hummed along I tried, imitating your song
I hope I don’t forget Alone, all on my own, I’m not ready yet
Hi I'm Jeff and I like to make bad decisions and suffer, this song is so catchy and I felt challenged by this song's speed... it destroyed me at every step at putting together this cover. But with patience and motor mouth mayhem, here we are today! Thanks for watching/listening!
English Lyrics: (please credit/link back to my channel if used)
Wanna move on, everything is wrong Just how long do you intend to fight with that look again Can both of us forget Still I love you too, nothing more to do With every fight we open up familiar scars and wounds Repeating still upset
Why can't I shake this feeling, emptiness always growing One to ten, I keep on counting, to a hundred, deep inside I'm too gone, lost the will to still try I don't know where to run, this heart and pounding's just begun And minus hundred counting up, no matter what I'm always cold There's no place that can make me feel whole
After you've broken down, crying 'til there's no sound Come follow me, staying at my side We'll change tomorrow, just for you and I
Though we're drowsy and tired we cannot sleep Repeating over and over once again, there's so much more to see All the pain from before cannot be erased This feeling high and shy maybe is right, I'm there so don't you wait
"Now's goodbye, I should die, let me disappear" Right now count, one two three, say it with me, until your thinking's clear Do you know, how you glow even when you cry out There's no more anti-beat, we'll soon be free, the time is ours so smile now
I cannot feel bad, lonely, down or sad I told myself as I put on a another mask in my hand A strong face over blue Bye bye I go, bye bye I know Don't bother looking for us now, we don't belong in the world So dumb, it must be true
Now you and me are here, and side by side, we're sitting near Small or big or hot and cold, we're in this room nobody knows Breathing heavy while holding you close What if this isn't right, forget it all for just one night And lock every concern away with words of love we're gonna say Setting out on a journey I know that's great
Though it still hurts today, you're alive and okay These scars are cleaned with kindness flowing new And can they heal if I stay here with you
Though we're drowsy and tired we cannot sleep Echoing over and over pushing on, our words the same in sync If we both ran away, it would be alright Close your eyes, off to sleep, don't you worry, you're safe with me tonight
"Hey good morning" we'd say, it's a new today Right now count, one two three, say it with me, let it all fade away Now I'm crying here too, and it's so uncool There's no more anti-beat, we'll soon be free, can this smile make it through
If we could change, would this still sound strange We're still the same, timid and lame It never ends, just kids, even then We'll still shine on, tomorrow's dawn Sometimes will ache, but we won't break For I've got you, we'll beat each day as two【Jefferz】 Shoujorei (English Cover) (少女レイ) 【MikitoP】JefferzKM2019-04-27 | ♦Mp3: jefferzkm.com/covers/vocaloid-cover/shoujorei-english ♦English Lyrics: jefferzkm.com/translyrics-vocaloid/shoujorei
Bullying isn't very nice so don't do it (this song is really nice though despite the subject matter, I had a good time working on this lyrical adaptation, tricky but fun!). It's was also refreshing to use my lower range for a change, Vocaloid composers please compose more lower-ranged songs please! Thanks for listening!
English Lyrics: (please credit/link back to my channel if used)
Your thoughts go crazy, spinning 'round your head You feel like a mouse, caged in until the end And standing on the edge above despair Jumping on the tracks, no pausing to look back
Yes, I consider you a friend So take my hand, I hope that you know Yes, I can feel you're all alone With nowhere left for you to go
Sometimes we can't change things as they are Sending love when life is hard
It repeats again Flashing back to that day we had The cicadas buzzed as I turned to see Matching there with keychains, a pair That's torn apart for eternity Summer glow, her skin pale like snow Gave a tan that time would one day fade And now by myself Remembering brings tears I can't wipe away
Another side of me is breaking free The start of September, chimes ring merrily And on that desk, a flower vase is set Who would guess it's me, I know I can't forget
So, you're only one to blame Just look at me and don't look away So, do you think it'll be the same Do you want help and soon be saved
I place a kiss on top of your hand When your drowning just began
The painful things they do, digging into you All the beasts around with claws that they sweep Playing fun, 'till their game is done Your skirt a mess, the pain runs deep Hear a cry, piercing to the sky What a sound that broke the warm summer peace It echoes around, the classroom that everyone soon turned to see
Yes, you're my friend
Yes, I consider you a friend So take my hand, I hope that you know Yes, I cannot believe you're gone And now I don't know where to go
Sometimes we can't change what happened then Why didn't I stop, my friend
It repeats again Flashing back to that day we had The cicadas buzzed as I turned to see Matching there with keychains, a pair That's torn apart for eternity Summer glow, her skin pale like snow Gave a tan that time would one day fade And now by myself Remembering takes me back to those days

This was a cover I recorded last summer and meant to finish up last year but shelved so I could finish Tokyo Winter Session on-time, sadly I broke my 5 year tradition of uploading at least one tilt-six cover a year since 2014, RIP. Ahem, anyway as usual I love tilt-six's music so much and this was another song that has a very simple intention of liking someone presented through a very convoluted metaphor (seriously an orange world of gazanias, an attraction like a magnetic satellite, a heart made of plastic, and communicating via an elector saturator, how does he come up with stuff like that??). Hopefully my take on the song makes somewhat sense, thanks for watching!
English Lyrics: (please credit/link back to my channel if used)
While I was lying in bed, before I closed my eyes What was I thinking about, oh that's right, your smile I've only seen it myself from far away Maybe soon I'll see it closer, maybe today
It really shouldn't hard, to plan it out and see But I always fail, so hopelessly Where is my courage I need, to cross this space somehow I'm mustering everything that I have now
An orange twilight world around Gazanias cannot be found And in this moment I forget how to breathe where I stand Why don't you notice, why can't you understand If I could hear your voice right here and now It'd lift me up right off the ground And maybe then my hands would stop trembling, anxious fear Why can't you figure out that I want you near
I always end every night, trying hard to forget How yet another day went and I'm left with regret Tomorrow can I be brave, and gaze in your eyes While sharing a smile, I've still got to try
But I can't do anything, while trapped behind this screen That's separating you from me I'm lost and awfully confused, my heart begins to ache These feelings hurt and I'm starting to break
An orange twilight world around Gazanias cannot be found And in this moment I forget how to breathe where I stand Why don't you notice, why can't you understand And if your voice could maybe resonate Again for me, it'd make my day This ambiance has helped me realize, what I hold so dear If you could figure out that I want you near
And now in your sight
The orange twilight world and landscape starts to fade And I can feel a sudden change A miracle has fallen right into place, in my hands Oh do you notice, why can't you understand And underneath the sky so vast and great Where comets fly in outer space This ambiance has helped me realize, what I hold so dear If you could figure out that I want you near【Jefferz】 Ima suki ni naru -Triangle Story- (English Cover) (今好きになる。) 【Honeyworks】JefferzKM2019-03-10 | ♦Mp3: jefferzkm.com/covers/vocaloid-cover/ima-suki-ni-naru-triangle-story-english ♦English Lyrics: jefferzkm.com/translyrics-vocaloid/ima-suki-ni-naru-triangle-story-honeyworks ♦Soundcloud:
And we're back today with Kotaro's side of Ima suki ni naru, can't be doing Hina's song and not his counterpart song! When this song first came out years ago I was a bit confused since it was the first and only alternate version of a song that was done in a different style and tempo and Jeff not knowing very much Japanese though it was just a cover or smth. Anyway years later (i feel like i say this for every song) this is now one of my favorite in the series, that last chorus section is so great! Tragic but still great.
I'm selfishly claiming Kotaro for the series since he isn't supposed to be in any songs at the same time as the other character I picked (Yu) so hopefully there won't be any awk self-duets in the future- (i cast someone else as Midori for future songs since when I originally did Friday's Good Morning, I didn't plan to feature different vocalists for different characters). Anyway lots of rambling aside, hope you enjoy how sweet and supportive Kotaro is and as always thanks for watching/listening! I don't know when they will be, but next up will be Ijiwaru na deai and Assertion of the Heart with Ken and Arisa!
English Lyrics: (please credit/link back to my channel if used)
If I just could just leave all my feelings suddenly Still I try, to get by 'Cause my feeling just won't die Even now I still like you
Never getting things right, running from every fight What a coward through and through Tell me, what you see Am I missing something new? What a timid senpai, nervous, always so shy He's a senior, I don't care Turn away, everyday I can't stand him always there
From back when you met, I noticed how you always glow Every single glance, I'm trying not to see although I know Tenderness to you, while I'm left, what should I do?
Why am I surprised, why did I not realize When both yours eyes met, did I forget Stop this countdown, or please just reset And if I just could just leave, all my feelings suddenly Still I try, to get by 'Cause my feelings just won't die Even now I still like you
I watch over your shoulder, as you're moving closer Telling myself it's okay Can't let go, of you though watching as you turn away
You're all that I think of, I know this is true love I have always put you first So I, cannot lie What I'd wish would be the worst
Now I'm so confused, because you've gotten hard to read When he looks at you, why are you first to hide so quickly Longing in your eyes, is it love? I wonder why
Feelings growing more, feelings stronger then before One more step closer, nothing I can stop Still the countdown's dropping on the clock And if I told the truth, what big difference would it do? I would just cause you pain Distance growing all the same I'll just keep it in my heart
Turning for the worse, but I will stay right at your side Writing from your heart, the words I know will fail but still you try When you look at me, I feel weak, can't even breathe
Saying "I like you", three words that I'll never use One more step closer, maybe you would see Just how much you really make my heart sing Maybe either way, even if nothing will change I will stay, never leave, you can always count on me
We've done it, we've finally gotten to Hina and her classmates' arc in the series! This song (+it's companion triangle story version) is one of my favorites in the series so I'm excited to finally finish this one and adding Sorachu to my growing Honeyworks cast! And before anyone asks, yup Triangle Story will be coming up too hopefully next weekend! And as always, if you like this Honeyworks cover please checkout my other English Honeyworks covers in the series in the playlist linked above. Thanks for listening/watching!
Note: Special thanks to Sora for clarifying and correcting the signature line in this song as originally I used "love" like most of the other covers of this song but that makes the contrast in meanings and intention between this song and the triangle story less noticeable. Small detail but one I appreciate, thanks Sora!
English Lyrics: (please credit/link back to my channel if used)
If I just could say, would this trembling go away Still I try hard to hide All my feelings deep inside Right now I think I like you
Never getting things right, boring wavy hair white What a failure of a guy Angrily, look at me Did you even mean to try Wait you're my senpai, oh my god could I die Can't believe I didn't know Tell me please, how could we Ever have a worse meeting
After we both left, my mind had wandered for a while When our eyes both met, you were the first to give a wave and smile I'm just so confused, why my mind's still stuck on you
Maybe soon one day, these feelings will be okay When both our eyes meet, I just feel weak Counting down when I should finally speak But if I just could say, would this trembling go away Make a choice, wavering voice Shutting out the nervous noise Right now I think I like you
Watching from a distance, in an instant I know that you've changed a lot I can see, clearly Who's the one you really want Everyone adores you, now that all they see you When they passed you by before New hair, I don't care I just like you even more
Now I just don't know, if I should, tell you or just leave Now when our eyes meet, I have to, look away so quickly Unsure what to do, should I run or talk to you?
How could yesterday, be so different from today Should I get closer, or should I just stop While I'm waiting, still that count is dropping And if I tell you, what big difference would it do? I'll be brave, write away All these words I cannot say Sending all my love to you
Breaking at the cracks, as I just, watched it from the side Held behind my back, my letter, maybe for another time Saying that you're fine, I can see you want to cry
Bursting from inside, "you're the only one I like" I didn't mean to, blurt out the truth "You're amazing, don't you realize" And if I didn't say, it would come out anyway Maybe one, day you'll see Just how much you mean to me
And we're back again for Tokyo Winter Session! I wanted to do this last year but since the song got posted right when we were in the middle of doing Summer Session, I was determined to be ready for it next year. As usual big thanks to my Honeyworks crew for all coming back for their regular characters and doing such a great job! Hope everyone had a Happy Holidays, here's to 2019 coming up soon!

Please come sit close to me, nevermind Do you know that I can hear you too, nevermind
1, 2, 3, 4!
It's getting cold outside And soon it's Christmas time Anywhere you want to go? Let's just hang out at my home Guess I'll call up everyone No it's fine if it's only just us two I'm only joking, I just want me and you
Called our reservation in What a fancy place to pick Hiding nervousness within Guess we're both not used to this Anything catching your eye? Honestly I cannot read the menu Have we grown up, oh what should we do
Snow falling on the Tokyo Tower Your eyes so bright, they make my heart flutter Lost in the view of sparkling color With you and me, our dreams are soon in reach
Please please, take my hand alright Let's raise the roof hey DJ, party night I won't let you feel lost or alone The year and times are new, now shall we go go
Dance the night away with the ones that we like And summon up our courage with all our might There's no more time to waste with our feelings unsaid I thought it'd be today but it's all in my head, ah
Let's start the new years right And Valentine's in sight Making really early plans? Gotta practice all I can Guess you really need the help Let us make most of every moment This whole new year, we'll never forget
First visit to the shrine It's crowded but it's fine What did you wish for today? It's a secret I can't say Silly fortunes aren't my thing It's tradition, we don't have to read it But I wonder, what's written a bit
First morning that I spend beside you First sunrise that I share here with you The sun is bathing us in warm hues I want to hold you close and not let go
Dance dance, take my hand alright Shake up the music DJ, party night I can't let this night end feeling gray I won't let any chances slip right away
Forget about tomorrow, the moment is now And throw away the doubts that we have somehow Enjoy the moment here or the time will be through Today will be the day I say That I love you
Wouldn't be the same if it wasn't you
Please please, take my hand alright Let's raise the roof hey DJ, party night I won't let you feel lost or alone The year and times are new, now shall we go
Dance the night away with the ones that we like And summon up our courage with all our might There's no more time to waste, here's what I must convey Today will be the day that I'll honestly say That I love you【Jefferz】 Setagaya Night Safari (English Cover) (世田谷ナイトサファリ)JefferzKM2018-12-09 | ♦Mp3: jefferzkm.com/covers/vocaloid-cover/setagaya-night-safari-english
I've been on a roll covering older songs that I missed from years ago, here's my take on Setagaya Night Safari! Lyrics are by Neibaku who also has a lovely cover of this song on her channel as well here: youtube.com/watch?v=82QQRKunUO4
It lives, the project from eternal limbo! Tbh after how many years, them Telomere's are probably dead and everyone's forgot... oh wait too soon-
Hi everyone, so this was one of the first collabs I organized after getting into the cb scene about 4 1/2 years ago and my first attempt at organizing and English chorus collab (minus a few early YTChorus things that we don't mention). Pretty much everything is back from 2014 except for the animation (by the lovely val who saved this from eternal limbo) and it's really cool to see how much everyone has improved since. Even though it's a bit old I'm excited to finally post it! Thank to everyone who joined this collab and for being patient with how long this took to finish!
Extra Unnecessary Note: This project went through a few animators who unfortunately had to pull out and at one point Jeff even attempted to animate it with his limited yet "stunning" AE skills. While it wasn't awful, there were definitely some questionable choices and needless to say it's for the best that version is forever burned and destroyed. Here's a clip of the atrocity (by request of Angela who wanted to explode): youtube.com/watch?v=rccXKB13n7k
