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

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

OMG! I really like this version!
And it's so weird considering Voyage was playing when I clicked on this thread.

saywindies · #11 23rd April 2008, 06:53 PM

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

tetsuo69 · #12 23rd April 2008, 07:04 PM

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

^ 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.

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.

Well~ Voyage was such a weird song anyways, so you would either really like it, or you could hate it so much.

So for some people who don't like the song, or even know the meaning for the song,then it's okay, right~

I really liked Voyage a lot, but I thought what made the song "Voyage" was with the choir in background, singing "We are on a journey of life." Which made the entire meaning of the song~ I just don't feel that kind of epic hope in such a song~ those who would connect with the song before, might not like this one, like me~

The album itself made top 30 album daily on Oricon on release~ he's not there now, but I guess maybe he sold 10,000 or so...

Great idea!

His voice sounds weird, because his pronunciation of Japanese isn't that well.

Lulz.
His voice is awful.....
