Omg someone needs to make an instrumental and then somehow speed up Ayu's voice and paste her vocal track to that..... because I really like the arrangement but I'm not too into his voice.o__o

:roflmao
Great idea!:luv2
His voice sounds weird, because his pronunciation of Japanese isn't that well.

yes, the rock arrangement is nice but...his voice and his Japanese is uuuhhh.... D:

very weird...still prefer the original version by ayu..

^of course we are all prefer ayu version
but hear to his version is kinda refreshing (>_<) hahaha

IS THE FULL VERSION OUT YET?!

WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT?? My ears are in shock. Honestly, I'm not a fan of "Voyage", in fact, I just listen to it when I'm in the mood to, but this guy's version is HORRIBLE... I mean... he DESTROYED the song. Please, kill him now, seriously.

Wow, another cover? So many covers lately!

Well, the voice isn't great but the rock arrangements = awesome.

I thought it was good. :\

10,000 times better than the Merikuri cover that Weezer did. I think some of you guys are just overreacting to how "bad" it is just because it's not what we're used to.

I wonder if someone will upload that album... I want that Voyage cover that bad :D

Awesome.. hehe.. I love this
thanks for the info

I love ska. I love rock. I love Voyage.

I hate this rendition and Scott Murphy does not have a good voice.

Lulz.
His voice is awful.....

I think that as well,but is nice to have another artist to cover Ayu.

... when will this leakkkkk?

I don't like it when ppl cover Ayu songs...

I just can't help it..

lol his voice and accent kinda make it sound like a parody...
i saw on wiki that his band colaborated with Ayu in 2007. do you guys have any more info on that?? there's nothing on wiki about it...

I liked his cover of depend on you, but his voice is not raw enough on this one. It reminds me a little of the night musume remixes. =P It's not really a "Bad" cover, just not very stand outish to me.

Ooh he covered DoY... That was good. This is weird..indeed sounds like a parody.

I don't think it will work, cause there's no instrumental for this song...
Plus its a different tempo and key... so you will have to edit the song to fit..
And it won't sound so good. =[

EDIT: Actually, I really really hate the Jupiter and Voyage covers he did..
I already said it before, but..
It seems he doesnt know what the meaning of Jupiter is.
Because turning it to a rock song totally loses the meaning of such a beautiful and supportive song..
After those earthquakes, and tsunamis, when Jupiter came out, the lyrics really supported people.. because it says..
"We're not alone, because we're the heart of the universe." and similar.
And the rock just turns it into a catchy thing with no real meaning for the lyrics... =[

And same with Voyage... it's supposed to be really soft to make the lyrics stand out,
To give people hope... so I really cant agree to say it is a good arrangement..
Because no matter how an arrangement is good, if it drowns the original intention to make the lyrics the main thing..
Then I feel that he skipped over the meaning of the song. T T

Sorry...T~T

*Hides behind shield* Don't kill me for this, but despite my strong disliking of Ayu covers and the guy's not-so-nice voice, I liked this way better than the original. I know the lyrics weren't meant for rock, but I enjoy the melody alot better that way.
