Can't wait to listen to chainsaw blood in your voice!!

EVERYONE @ KENSHI

that is cool

I thought everyone knew that though???

@@Jerbear-rawr- Nooope :) some people don't really get the chance to do landscaping because of bioavailability (ie living in the city then moving to a more rural area) So more subtle things like terminology don't get known very easily It was a shocker to me once I realized those were some kids chores every week (cutting wood, raking acres of land, etc)

@@Jerbear-rawr- not everyone uses chainsaws and it’s not as common as you might think you gotta rev it up a lot for it to happen (most commonly)

Sounds terrifying lol

spoiler Makima: *Proceeds to take all he treasure's*

Spoiler ! . . . Is actually a really clever line reffing to Denji and Makima's relationship and how she is just the villain on Danji's story, a abusive relationship.

@@TheMostLoyalOfThemAll spoiler x 2 Denji still loves her after all she did, and now she's treasured in his stomach lol

This version is the best one I heard yet

truee

@@djalexander7723besides the original, yes.

i completely agree, this is so well written and composed seriously

@@weazlewrld4115 The vocalist also sounds a bit like the singer in the original JP version, too! Almost makes it sound as if the JP vocalist did the dubbing, it's very nice

Bread Box is an absolute god at writing translyrics. Definitely listen to Will Stetson''s other tracks if you like the lyrics in this one as they work together a lot for his covers. The incredible translyrics from usually either Bread Box or Sayri combined with Will's musicianship and how he approaches the harmonies, mixing and layering of his vocals make these covers truly special and are everything translated songs should be - faithful to the original but with flair to make it their own.

my problem is that this cover misses a lot of the actual meaning of the original song because it takes so many liberties with its translation like it's not a heart, embark, a beautiful star it should be hard work, future, a beautiful star one sounds like denji seeking for romance while the more correct translation is more about denji seeking a brighter future through the effort he puts into life

@@nothappening5510 I think it's important to think of it from the perspective of the whole song rather than approaching it line-by-line. Not being focused on being line to line accurate is a crucial part of being able to convey feeling and meaning through the translated lyrics, and it is an advantage that a production like Will's can abuse because there is nothing it has to match in real time. For example, when subtitling an anime, the intonation, line length and pace have to be matched line to line because you can hear the voice acting at the same time and if you can't match their energy, it reads awkwardly and becomes a disjointed experience for the viewer. This is why you can't simply copy a translated script for your English dub - the script is intended to be read alongside the visuals and was never meant to stand by itself. Translyrics for a cover like this *have* to be able to stand by themselves or they cannot be felt. And in order to do that, sometimes you have to prioritise the lyrics part over the translation part. So instead of saying its wrong, let's approach this line as a lyric rather than as a sentence and try and figure out what Bread Box was attempting to do. There is more to a lyric than its literal meaning as a word, and I think that's what's been prioritsed here. The flow of the word heart into embark is here to match the flow of doryoku into mirai from the original. The way Kenshi Yonezu omits the "u" sound at the end of doryoku and sort of slurs his way through mirai are what make these two words flow together. If pronounced properly, they sound... odd. It's this flow that makes the original catchy - and a hook that's repeated over 20 times in a song has to be catchy. So what we've translated here is not meaning, it's the flow. We are writing lyrics at the end of the day, not a script. These have to be sung and it has to be a good song. To bring this back to the start of my point, has anything been lost in the meaning of the song's lyrics by approaching the hook in this way? I'd argue absolutely not. To Denji, being able to claim Makima's heart would in itself be because of effort and doryoku in his pursuit. One of his biggest motivations is romance... albeit his own strange definition of it. Do you still feel this from the rest of the song? Has the meaning of the song really been changed or lost due to this one line? And if we haven't lost the meaning of the complete song and we've conveyed it in English, doesn't that make this a successful translation? And if we have a banging hook that gets in your head and words that can be sung in a way that naturally matches the composition, haven't we succeeded at making a good set of lyrics? It doesn't have to match line-to-line to achieve either of these things. Sorry for the rant, I just want to get across that translation does not have to be literal to be good. Translation, and especially translyric writing, is an artistic process where right and wrong is hard to define. It's an English version of the song and not an English translation of the song at the end of the day. Play in the grays of artistic expression and create something that empowers the original while putting your own spin on it - that's what covers are all about.

Can relate 😎👍

i think youre just horny bro

Or the Japanese are super h0rni and it ain't that deep

i mean theres a line that says "so far it feels amazing" which just.. COME ON

Bro all my guy wants is to cop a feel and some damn toast, he got goals

​@@Greg_Heffley69bro wanted some compliments but got toast condiments

Exactly!

Direct translations are generally pretty wonky (as a Swede I'd know)-- so yeah it was definetly the right call to slightly adjust the lyrics in a way that it would still fit the music + overall theme of the song

​@@niffry you forgot probably the bigfest thingthe rythm.

I mean that's what most English Cover is? They gotta make it rhythm of course

I mean you can’t rhyme without changing the lyrics

Thank you so much!! I did my best to give my own take on it so I’m glad you enjoyed 💕

thats what Im amazed as well,, like the mixed nuts cover, his voice was soft and now it completely changed,, now thats talent!

Respectfully, i do not hear any growliness in his voice.

@@ilikemycatsfried844 english is not my first language ;-; I don't know if it was the right word to say what I wanted to say

i dont think his voice is changing a lot. the background music does a lot to set the tone. he has a great voice and it does fit. but the music does a great part to highlight his voice.

give your thanks to david!!! he knocked it out of the park

The "bury me in pleasure so we fall together " TRUELY masterpiece keep up the good work

It's always my favorite part in these covers

@@willstetson I agree, I have a question about one line tho. I anticipated, "Konichiwa Baby" to be "Hello to you, Baby" since it makes more sense and a closer transition. But it's, "now what are you seeing" I want to know the reasoning for choosing one over the other...

@@ljeans531 same i expected "good day to you baby" but this is a pretty great cover overall

On god

The pun made me mildly uncomfortable. I will leave now

he said the thing

😎

i commend the pun but im rocking out hard to this. absolute bangerrr

E

It me from 4 months ago

5 now

I love that part too. It's got such a sickly sweet vibe, like the best parts of the entire emo genre distilled into a single verse I wish I knew what song it reminds me of

Ye

Can you explain what it means?

@@Anna-pe7uk basically, a non-sequitur. If I understood right... Denji is a chaotic stupid good character. He barely passes off as Good or Brave, he's just there to serve his own selfish ideas, thus he only cares about a physical hunger rather a hunger for something greater.

@@thegrandtemslayr1384 Really comprehensive answer, thanks.

@woweman so in way, Denji's selfishness and his behavior, are a hunger that reaches for something beyond heaven?

@woweman I don't exactly get what relevance what you're saying has to the line itself, some parts at least. But I think I am beginning to draw my own lines here, thanks to your explanation. "If paradise takes the good and the brave," if this relates to the perfect world Makima wants to create, then, "I'm starving anyway," relates to Denji admitting that he has no place in that world, because he's starving; as in he has selfish desires. And at the same time, it's an excuse as to why Denji decides to eat Makima and keep the world as it is; where can pursue what is greater, although it will never be as much as this 'paradise'.

Behold..Makima's lawnmower..

@@chupacabra2311 appreciate the correction!

@@ItsMeZukaalso peace

Bro I'm scrolling through comments and as I read it's the part comes up

that's exactly what he put @@chupacabra2311

The heart line also relates to Makima, as she has an obsession with the original Chainsaw Man/Pochita, who is now Denji’s heart.

Yeah, these lyrics seem based on a very poor translation. And the second line you mentioned should be more like _"776... Another opportunity lost"._ Just one short of a jackpot.

"I'd like to make mine what's in the hollow of your breasts" would be a better translation I believe

@@JmonsterNEO this is a spoiler for anime watchers so pls delete this

i think you could say i want whats in your chest has a catch it all, have ive seen that done in subbed versions of the song

oh boy. someone hasn't read part 2 yet.

Uhh, nope. Half the words don’t even make sense or match up to the meaning. It doesn’t even convey the same meaning as the original in any way.

@@QubedCubed they actually really do if you search it up! They convey not identical, but similar meanings.

make it 1k yo

This song literally summarize relationship between Denji and Makima

dont plan on reading the manga unless im really bored and the anime left me kinda empty ngl.

@@erickramirez1099 i would highly recommened reading it, the reze arc and the arcs afterwards are genuinely incredible

@@chad5115 i kinda spoiled it for myself already but id still read it, thing is i dont know where to find the manga

@erick ramirez Binged the Manga in 2 days. The roller coaster of emotion legit had me reeling. Going from sad, angry, and then witnessing sheer comedy had me feeling like I was going Mad. Hearing the lyrics... Yeah. Of course it'd have food related things.

It's literally the most replayed moment in this video, how is it underrated?

FR

if you like this you should definitely listen to some of his other covers! he always makes them very natural and catchy like this one, plus his voice is crazy

A bit WHAT

its a different language cover. he tries to make it have the same melody as the original so he has to change wording and meanings sometimes

@@feenlle7430 They were praising him for finding a translation that's both accurate and sounds good

Then again, "future" became "embark"

​@Spectrum It may be a reference to the common phrase, "embark for a brand new start." You could even argue the "embark, beautiful star" is meant to be a play on words, as it can be misheard as "embark the beautiful start." So the chorus does keep the original meaning of “future,” but with different phrasing.

that’s a HUGE compliment, thank you!! (although i still think kenshi did it better LOL)

@@willstetson your welcome, I like your english cover song

@@willstetson I think as far as English covers, this is the best anyone will do. There’s something that hits different about the Japanese but I can’t imagine anyone outdoing you in English

@@gaburoontheinterferenceunit ???

@@willstetson I prefer this over the original actually!!

Cuz if it ain't I'll become a Karen

@@dinglebord nah it's the og version

Say thank you to David!! He popped OFF on the lyrics (and in record time too!)

Although you might know, it's not yo yo yo in original, but yon yon yon san (4443), which is a reference for Japanese soda vending machines. Some have a little roulette game, where if you get 4 of the same numbers, you get a free soda. In this context, Denji missed free soda by one digit. This line connects with the lyrics with pronunciation pun.

@@arteshki5779 That is cool af to know

Now after Kenshi released his MV, they actually show 4443 on vending machine

@@arteshki5779 in japanese, 4 has a correlation to death 4444 - you get what it means. (4 deaths) So 4443 means he just escaped death. i think-

it hits like the average american's student debt
