hello, I'm a singer and sometimes post covers on my instagram, and have fallen in love with the song Fuyu no Hanashi (from Given) and really want to cover it, but I'm scared that my peers will think it is weird. I am not Japanese, I am white, but I will be singing in Japanese. I know in retrospect this doesn't really matter but I just don't want people to think that "anime kid" or weird or anything.
If any of you have experience posting covers from anime or Japanese/Korean songs when you can't speak the language, please share :) Also, if you were in my shoes, would you post a cover or should I not? Like if any of you were to see it in your feed and were NOT into anime would, you think I am weird and unfollow me or something? Or am I overthinking?? THANKS GUYS
Also im 19 btw :)
music is music, you should be able to sing whatever and however you want without getting judged. if i were in your shoes, i'd post the cover! however if that is still uncomfortable for you to do, you could try singing it in english using your own translations.
DO THAT COVER whether you think it's good or bad whether you get labeled as the "anime kid" or not if YOU want to do it , do it! If people do think you're weird take that as a compliment why be like everyone else or "normal" it's not twice as fun. Ps: getting labeled as the anime kid is a compliment. The amount of effort and enters the artists, animators, voice actors take to make such an incredible thing is honestly super inspiring so good luck and do what you think would be best <3
If they hate it, ignore them. You do you! As long as you are happy about what you do then you’re fine! (๑•ㅂ•)و✧
thank you do the response! I agree music is music and who cares, and I hate that I care so much about what other people think. I was initially thinking about doing it in English but it just sounds so much better in its original form and is more powerful -- i'm just scared cause im singing with the original instrumental and not paying guitar or anything so its pretty obvious it has that anime-esque vibe to it if you know what I mean. I'll let you guys know if I post hehe
very true! I agree the term"anime kid" is not a bad thing at all, its literally just a statement, but idk its kinda gotten a negative connotation for those who don't watch it and write-off animations as "weird" or whatever, that's why im scared. Such a stupid worry, but your response is reassuring thanks :)
hehe thanks :)
post it!!!!! if you're too afraid of what your peers think about you, you can make a account!!!
*a new account
You should totally do it! I love that song and language/ethnicity shouldn’t matter >:(
yay thank you! I may do the piano version instead of the original instrumental so that it is less anime-esque, but still deciding cause I love both versions
this is the piano instrumental I was talking about if you're curious: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o5Fs6NSDWMk
should I do this one or the original in your opinion? :)
Good luck!!!
thanks :)
y'all are blaming the wrong person. Derrick is literally BRIANWASHED by YVONNE. Like that bitch is evil evil.
Still Callisto all the way for me tho, thx for standing up for our baby T-T
babes did u forget that bro is literally in love w his sister it’s fucking weird and also if youre so easily brainwashed by smn u literally just met, that means he wasn’t smart and didn’t have any critical thinking, hes just a bitch
fym someone he just met did u ignore the entire chapter where it was revealed that it was literally his fault she got lost in the first place and he was CARRYING that guilt for literal decades or? i think ur the one without any critical thinking…! like nobody likes derrick but dawg aint no way ur blaming him for getting brainwashed
Actually, they're not entirely wrong. Did you even ask yourself why Yvonne picked Derrick and not his brother for the brainwashing ? It’s precisely because Derrick is the perfect pawn : ever since Penelope arrived into the family he has been putting blame onto her instead of admitting his own guilt. Even without the brainwashing he had be willing to throw Penelope under the bus (cf the hunting competition). He's hateful and only needed a little push to act on an impulse he always had within him. That’s why we hate Derrick.
yes! i am aware! when did i EVER say anything about him not being the most susceptible victim to brainwashing? if anything, you’re agreeing with me more than them, because their point was that he let himself get convinced by “a stranger he just met,” while my point was that he was influenced by his guilt! he can blame penelope WHILE being guilty by the way, it’s almost like he was projecting his guilt onto somebody else? just some food for thought.
I’m blaming both of them lol. Fuck them as a collective fr. Derrick being a pos before and Yvonne for coming in and ruining everything like an attention seeking bi-
did u forget that he was ALWAYS ready to blame EVERYTHING on Penelope???? did we read the same fucking manhwa? and why r u so aggressive and attacking me DIRECTLY, when this is literally about a FICTIONAL character. It is deadass not that deep buddy!!!
and u didn’t understand my comment bro what, im saying that Derrick has HIMSELF TO BLAME??? that his actions weren’t committed by brainwash??? dude stop attacking my “critical thinking” when we’re literally talking abt a fictional character. who hurt u dawg
