UPDATE: Here we go! Three more submissions added - and we have a guy!

So, as we were discussing over at the Lion Single Review comments, wouldn’t it be fun to sing over the karaoke versions of Lion and Northern Cross? Let’s do this in celebration of the good first day sales of the single

And now our sacrificial lamb (or dying cow if you wish), me singing over the refrain of Lion. Listen at your own risk. Okay here goes *breathes deeply*:

As a background, the makers of this album come from Maayas.net of which I am also a member. They’ve been cooking up these covers for what, about 3 years now? Recently, they made a full release and are sharing it all over the net.

I love that tiny bit of blrrrrrr ing in Poketto o Kara ni Shite! If I’m not mistaken, that kind of vocalization is used in warm-ups before the actual singing… right?

Go ahead and listen to some of my favorites from their set:

Chibikko Folk:

No, they’re not here. But I can show some samples

EDIT: Samples removed due to bandwidth constraints.

To be frank, I thought that both songs were overproduced. Mayn’s voice had too much chorus effects. (And if you listen closely to the background, you might even hear Britney Spears. Just kidding.) But then I still like Diamond Crevasse, though I wish there would be a Ranka version

perhaps May’n leaked it? Nah.

This has to be the second time this fan is featured in this blog for a violin cover. This time, he covers “Sagittarius, 9pm, Don’t be Late” from the first episode of Macross Frontier. If you’ve heard the song, there’s a noticeable flat (a note shift) in the refrain which gets amplified in this cover. It’s possibly the first time I heard Kanno pull of something like this.

For those who missed his cover of Sousei no Aquarion, here it is again:

Let’s have a bit more Aquarion shall we These are from Japanese fans, because most of the covers are from Japan anyway. I listened to every single one and now present those which might interest (and inspire) the rest of you.
