Wow, it's sounds so good from the preview XDD
Thank you!

Sounds Cool!! *0* A Rock version of Voyage!! So cool!!!!!! XD But bye Scott Murphy! >_</U

it sounds so cool, thanks for the news!

it sounds good ^^ thanks for the info

It's so-so. The rock arrangement is good, but his voice is something one has to get used to...

*headbangs* XD

Ew. It sounds like ska and I hate ska. D:

woah the new versions are surprisingly nice but i don't really like his voice. Chara's song sounds like an entirely different song~

i like it ^^i sounds like a song that would be in a drama XD

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

Lulz.
His voice is awful.....

hey 10x for that :P of course voyage will be ^^

His voice, and his terrible accent, suck. The arrangement is okay...at first I didn't even think I was listening to Voyage. O_O

Oh my god...listening to how badly he killed "I Will Always Love You" and "Jupiter" makes me want to sob. TERRIBLE.

haha i like it! His accent is terrible, but, I always appreciate people that try! I never liked Voyage, it was just one of those songs that just never did it for me. I always ignore it.

who the heck is scott murphy? am i missing something? lol...anyway, its not awful, but ill never listen to it :P

it sounds...weird..lol..
funny...but good..

I don't really like his version of Voyage, but his cover of Chara's "Swallowtail Butterfly ~Ai no Uta~ is really good :yes

thanks... sounds pretty good~:yes

I can't listen to it. :cry Can anyone upload it in a different format? Please. :(

Edit: Okay, nevermind, I fixed it. LOL. It's not horrible. I'm just trying to figure out why he chose that song. XD

Pretty interesting! The instrumentals were great, and the voice was fair, maybe not the greatest but wayyy better than my own so I can't judge, haha. Rock Voyage is neat.

It doesn't sound anything like ska! It's very much American pop-punk. The only thing reminiscent of ska in the cover is maybe the fast tempo and the snare on the off-beats in the chorus.

I actually really, really like this arrangement. I always felt that Voyage had a beautiful melody and beautiful lyrics, but that the arrangement--while truly epic--is just very vanilla. This up-tempo arrangement is really exciting.

His voice isn't bad at all, and it suits the genre. His accent isn't that bad either, but it is very American--rounded vowels and over-aspirated consonants.

oo it's nice ^^ thanks for sharing!

it's not his voice...it's just that...ACCENT... /shudder

I personally don't like it.

I don't really like it. It's just too fast.

It sounds like those punk-rock bands here in America...it's weird sounding, but I kind of enjoy it, too.

I figured he was white...his name, the way he sings...but I had to make sure. XD Is this the first Ayu song remade by an American?

I wish Ayu would sing it in such rocky version just like she made Evolution into ballad at AT2007 ^^

It'd be wonderful if it was Ayu, I'm not to happy with his voice. >_< But nice news anyway~

Thanks! Sounds crazy lol!

i kinda like it.

sounds awkward xDD i like ayu's original version of Voyage better :D thanks for preview though

YUCK.

I bet he's great, but not for Ayu's songs.

I don't know what it is, but no one does a good job on Ayu songs except Ayu. That's how I feel whenever I hear karaoked versions of her songs. :shrug

Anyway, nice to see that it's Voyage! I love that song! ^^

The rock arrangement is so cool!! :O But his voice... x_X; Nice to see such an original cover, though!

HAHAHAHA ROCK VERSION Voyage.

Ayu should sing it instead and be in next single.

1. Voyage (2008 ROCK Version)

I like the tunes
nice version
wish Ayu would sing it though

its kind of SKA than ROCK...
interesting, but its kind of weird
want to hear the full version
thanks for sharing the info

edit : he cover doraemon theme song too!!!! wow...

who is this guy?
is he famous??

hmm... that Voyage is very Ska + punk rock!
i don't know if i like it or not..hmmm~ just weird..

anyway, did he have the permission to sing this song?

Haha, that's pretty cool.

But who is Scott Murphy?

WAAA!! it's good, but it's bad. Sounds tooo... American-Boy Bandish, blahhh XP

Horrendous Crap!

LMAO thank youuuu! :yes

;)

It's alright but nothing special... I just feel like the song lost all it's magic D:

his voice...is quite bad for that song i feel...*shrugs*
the arrangement is ok.,..just shocked to hear a rock rendition

sound so anime style...i don't like it :S

I don't really like his voice.

ummm...cute voice? haha.
i think it's funny whenever he gets into the "t" consonants b/c he aspirates them :P

Lol his pronunciation and his voice s a little weird XD.

the song is very funny!! My sister likes Ayu's Voyage but when she heard this she laughed like she was saying "you're killing the song, man!!"hehehe..
Anyway, it's acceptable...

I think it's interesting how he aspirates everything and rounds all his vowels XD

hey, he's pretty good. his renditions are pretty good XD. swallowtail butterfly is awesome

thx for the info...

i'll try him~

It sounds so weird. >_<
The song became totally different.
But thanks for the news anw.

I like the arrangement but the voice...I dun like it :(

It seems like he turned everything into punk rock.. but I just listened a few of them anywayz. I won't say it's bad... actually I find those new arrangements are quite attractive.. :P

I'm amazed by this rocky doraemon. Probly they should make a Doraemon~senior high~ anime :D. This version will fit for sure.

It sounds really very absolutely casual...grrr.

who's this guy??? a white guy releasing a japanese album! this is cool!

sounds cool ¡¡ I like it *__*

Wow, I kinda like this arrangement. It's really emo-American-band though @_@

Like I'd expect this sort of arrangement from Fall Out Boy or something..

woahh sounds quite alright
is that guy really white?
coz he's awesome at pretty pony~pretty pony~pretty pony~ =P

sounds alright. just a little upbeat lol

*arg* I cant hear the clip. >.<
I want to hear wats the fuzz about!

nahhh at first i thouht i couldn't hear it but just leave it there for a while xD
u'll soon hear it
lols

Same here. Although the comparisons to American emo is making me dread it...

His accent reminds me of J-Pop/anime karaoke contests, LOL. It was really weird hearing a punk version of Voyage, JUPITER, and I Will Always Love You.

:yes

It sounds GREAT :D

****** Yeah. It kinda sucks (his voice).

Over-aspirated consonants? Which means?...

His accent is pretty much like the Monkey Majik vocalist's accent.

Cool. Though I don't think anyone can do justice to the song other than Ayu herself. :P Thanks for the info~

He totally ruined "Jupiter". :dead2

LOL I second this :yes But I don't really like his vocals...

i want hear full version

this is HIDEOUS
just NO

I always thought Voyage would sound good in rock, but not with his voice. XDD

I hear ya sis! ^^

the picture cannot be seen ;/

Well I would prefer if the ELLEGARDEN guy sang it as he has a better voice.

its pretty good!

it sounds weird and cool ;p

not into this kind of music. and i hate his voice. i'm wearing a frown on my face now.

thanks anyways.

it's nice and catchy, but i hate his voice and i'm not even considering the bad accent. those emo/indie band singers have the worst voices imo >.<

but like someone said, someone should make a remix of Voyage like that with AYU singing

I don't like his voice, but the arrangement is so good!

I agree. :yes

thanks but I prefer Ayu's Voyage ^^

oh my... >_<
I cannot listen to that songs..
He destroyed Jupiter!!! no one can sing it like Hirahara!!
And Voyage... T _ T
I am crying! LOL

Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeehhh?!??!?!??!?!??!?
Its so bad!!! X[
They lost the "artistic essence" of this music, since its rock version, oh well... :rolleyes

Cool!! Can't wait to hear it!!

hm I think it's sounds very funny xD

Oh my. . .
I don't like it at all. Oh well :P

sugoooiiiii

did it come out, yet? 0_o

I'm not sure what to think...it's okay. It's better than Weezer's cover of that BoA song <.<

It's awful! He's absolutely murdering a classic song!!

^ I second that. When the full song comes out, that's what I'm going to do. Is there a Voyage accapella somewhere? The arrangement is pretty cool.

its out yesterday...
somebody has it? please please upload it...
