@Milox I asked the same question and he does say stuff along the lines of its an original Japanese song.. I think he just worded it awkwardly heh

Yeah, and after watching the video and hearing the message in the step you remix, seems Avex gaved him permission

"...he has made efforts to localise his talents and competently redelivers his songs in various tongues including French and Japanese as well as brand new tracks such as “Depend on You” – which features entirely Japanese lyrics."

as well as brand new tracks such as “Depend on You” (originally made famous by Asian megastar Ayumi Hamasaki) – which features entirely Japanese lyrics.

That's really weird, because I could have sworn it didn't say that before. I'm 99% positive that "(originally made famous by Asian megastar Ayumi Hamasaki)" line wasn't in there 12 hours ago. Am I just crazy or something?

Edit: Nevermind. Someone commented that Ayu wasn't credited anywhere and he replied to the comment saying he would "look into getting that sorted".

That's what I'm thinking maybe he just added the missing part!, that's good!

anyway I expecto to hear the full versions soon he did an amazing job!

[gothicayu]

i never heard about that guy before . i really dont like the english verion and the japanese one sounds awfull . ayu version is the best no one can beat this version

[Ayumiko]

its actually surprisingly good...o_O...but ofcourse ayu's version is better.

[njanjayrp]

the STEP you rmx is nice as well

[Kenshi]

It seems Depend on you is hot lately XD

And his cover blows me away!!!! Sugoi!! ^___^b *thumbs up*

[Surreal]

wow it's quite good to be honest

[Hazuki]

He's the Sonic The Hedgehog guy! ;o

[bondingo]

Seriously, who is this guy and what's with the Japanese obsession and his music? It just seems really random to me. He's the one that covered Voyage as well, right?

You might as well ask that about as Ailyn as well, esp. since she's done way more covers than this guy...and in Spanish!

And heck I'd do Asian covers too if I could.

I was actually REALLY impressed by this. His voice is great and "Depend on Me" is a worthy English rendition. I didn't think his Japanese was that bad, either. You could still understand him, and in the end that's all I really care about.

[ohsixthirty]

wow...his english version is really good!

The what guy? Steve Murphy?
??

[tokyoxjapanxfan]

i dont like his voice all that much..and his introduction thingy bothered me a lot xD but the music is good

O.O
I really love the English cover! It's such a nice change!
Why is everyone covering Depend on you, though?

[bakacat]

I really like what they did to Depend on you, I also think Ayu should've done something like that.
