#jcovers — Public Fediverse posts

#jmusicfriday
we are doing #jcovers today. I could come up with a whole long ass list, but instead I will share my favourite My First Story covers. Always as a B-track on a single they add a cover and they are always far better than the original 😂

My First Story - Kakurenbo

Ooh JMusicFriday's theme this week is Covers!

I love this cover of My Boyfriend Is A Pilot by Ali Project from Macross the Tribute (that sentence alone is the stuff that 13 year old me's dreams were made of)- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HmwZ1BvB8W4

@NaraMoore 2/2 #JCovers #JMusicFriday for the second question, still!

:mmikusing: Kalafina covering See-Saw's Anna ni Issho Datta No Ni, at Animax Music Fall 2010. Might be a cheat since both are Kajiura-related, but Kalafina's cover is already unique due to being a cover by a group, plus they are a vocal harmony group. The bridge is particularly fabulous. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J4gwQfAppj8&t

**EXTRA**: The Youtube mashup has long been deleted, it seems, but I still have a copy of the song itself--a mashup with Chiaki Ishikawa's animelo performance of the song and Kalafina's performance of the above. This is the one that lives in my head, so not really a cover but something very cool regardless. You'll have to download it though, I couldn't make it play in-browser, sorry: https://file.garden/ZRpLQD_G0TetIeS8/Kalafina%20X%20Chiaki%20Ishikawa%20-%20Anna%20ni%20issho%20datta%20no%20ni.mp3

:mmikusing: HIMEKA singing Yuzurenai Negai. This one is one of my favorite covers of one of my absolute favorite songs, from an amazing singer. Even now playing it while I type this is giving me goosebumps, as it always does. IMO another hard song to cover properly, and HIMEKA's version succeeds where so many others fail. It even takes a chance in changing it up by singing the chorus first--and to me, some of the best covers are the ones where they change the song to their styles and strengths. Nowadays though, I just get sad due to how HIMEKA and her career ended and get sadder whenever I listen to her songs, to the point where sometimes I can't listen to them. I hope she's okay constantly: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4TIoFF_X6sk

@NaraMoore Most of my #JCovers answers are more anime than anything :blobfoxsweating: But I have one or two #JDance picks.

Answering the second question for #JMusicFriday ! 1/2

:mmikusing: angela x Chiaki Ishikawa, singing A Cruel Angel's Thesis. From Animelo Summer Live 2009. It was in that year I discovered it and it's stuck with me. IMO a very hard song to cover because it needs a certain voice to do so, and both these ladies have the lungs to do it in their own way. Being from 2009, the video's long gone from YT and I can't find my own copy (I still have the mp3 and a ripped to CD version lol), so this VK link will have to do, it's the only one I've found: https://vk.com/video-33431674_161526477

:mmikusing: The song "You are the one," which has been sung by Namie Amuro and globe. I had no idea which one came first until looking it up right now for this question and turns out neither! Originally a charity song (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TF8sMYBD6IU) where Amuro and KCO from globe both appeared, and then globe covered it in 1998. Then Amuro did her own cover in 1999.

(source here: https://amuro.fr/v5/releases/singles/something-bout-the-kiss/you-are-the-one/)

globe: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r9bV-CRn650

Amuro: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uo18HrG2awk (I could only find the live version)

Both have lived in my head for many years, and both are very good within each performer's strengths. I am eternally biased towards globe's version though.
