That's long overdue. I can't even recall seeing any decent fancovers out there of Aim to Be a Pokémon Master in English, barring one made a VERY long time ago by someone who couldn't sound mix if their life depended on it.
@@matthewdavis9437 You'd better at doing it though, because you get the subtle pronunciation "rules" better and knowing the meaning of individual parts of sentences and even of words in another language often helps you inflect it better when speaking it.
@@SamuelHauptmannvanDam If you're referring to his pronunciation, he's pretty decent. Usually listening to native English speakers, speaking Japanese, is really off-putting to me; not this time though! Guessing he already was fluent in Japanese, or that he actually put real effort into his pronunciations.
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: I still don’t know whether you deserve a Grammy or the Congressional Medal of Honor. Words cannot describe how much you’ve influenced every kid who grew up with this song. You helped breathe life into a legacy that’s touched the hearts of millions. Very few songs associated with anime and video games are legendary enough to flood a listener with such immense feelings of nostalgia. To be honest, I feel ashamed that all I can do to honor your contribution to this phenomenal series is to give you my subscription. I want to say, from the bottom of my heart, thank you for this gift you have bestowed upon humanity. I wish you all the success in the world, and I’ll raise a glass in your name to a long and prosperous life for you. To Jason Paige 🍺! One of the many people on this Earth that has managed to bring smiles to millions with a single song!
Thanks for this WONDERFUL message. It gives me great energy to continue to put my content out in hopes of influencing more people. More specifically abut how they can live lives that make them "the very best." You are "like no one ever was", uniquely special and your contributions have ripples. We just never know how our actions and work will affect the world. 3 minutes can change the world. The time you took to write this has changed my world. Thank you for helping me further understand "the power thats inside"
Amazing as always. Really made my child hood after have 4 open heart surgeries, dying and being a disabled father of an amazing pokemon gamer daughter. The nostalgia is real.
Seanbo124 bro that was deep but dont let your disability define you, after going through a traumatic brain injury I don't consider myself disable just a person with challenges, and I bet more than anything to your daughter you're the most amazing person and best trainer she knows
Jason Paige...singing the pokemon theme song in Japanese. If that isn't dedication, I don't know what is. BRAVO! Jason Paige, BRAVO! (Love the tie by the way!) I tip off my hate to you!
Sir Jason, thank you so much for providing a Japanese version of the original theme song! There's something epic and anthemic about the version you sung compared to the original Japanese one (which is good on its own right). I've grown up listening to your version of the opening theme and it will forever be part of my fondest memories of childhood. I could only wish Sir Jason would do a full version in Japanese! :) As a side note, if anyone is interested, I recorded a cover of this version as an homage to Sir Jason's never-ending fondness for the Pokemon fans and to celebrate Ash's victory in the Alolan League.
Hearing the English version finally translated to Japanese is weird ... but cool at the same time! The fact that Mr Jason Paige learned Japanese to sing this for us is just AWE~SOME! Your rendition of the original Pokémon Theme has stayed with me all these years and still means so much to me. Thank you Mr Paige 💙💙💙
@@kittehkat69 well here's the thing... in japan the japanese intro "get pokemon" is very iconic and is still used in various episodes. in fact it's most recent use was in sun and moon gotta catch'em all is iconic internationally due to how this is the song that pretty much is the reason pokemon got and became the international phenomena we know today. they're both good equally for being iconic and nostalgic but I think it can be argued gotta catch'em all is somewhat better due to as i've said is the song that is the most internationally known and has had other language covers used in other official language dubs.
I absolutely love it. This combines my love of the Japanese language and Japanese music with the nostalgia of my childhood. I used to sing along every Saturday morning. I love that Jason Paige made this for his fans. It shows that he cares about them. I hope he redoes the full song in Japanese one day. I would love to have both versions. Props to the translator, too. Translating music and/or poetry from English to Japanese is absolutely NOT easy (I know; I've done so *on a paid basis*), but she absolutely NAILED IT here. Mad respect.
@@oceanman7085 You don’t understand what I said do you? I said my sentence “The Japanese version of the song was sung in English.” In response to the parallel universe comment.

This was so amazing and so beautiful. You made it sound great even in Japanese. It lifted my spirit. Thank you, Jason. 😢👏 Also, I've been subscribed to your channel for years. I wish you'd do a daily vlog of your everyday life at home and out so I could keep up with you; I find you interesting and cool. 🙄
Jason you are an absolute legend. Your voice is just as precise as it was almost 20 years ago. And never would I have thought all this time later that you would do a Japanese rewrite of one of the most nostalgic themes of my childhood... You're awesome man. 👍👍 lol
I think what I love the most about this is that you're clearly having so much fun with it. The fact that you truly seem to love Pokémon, rather than just having recorded the original to get a paycheck, truly warms my heart and makes that part of my childhood (and adulthood, let's be real) feel special. :)
Wow, that's really awesome :o I hope you'll make and upload a full version (here, or on Spotify or something) one day, just for the "GETTO DAZE, GETTO DAZE, yeaaah, yeahh" part
I remember watching this it was my first pokemon show I grew up with thanks Jason you got me playing the original pokemon games. And the song you sang kept me determined to catch them all!~
Wow! I've listened to the English version of the song before and this is my first time listening to it in Japanese, but it sounds excellent too! You still got it after all these years and your singing will always be remembered. Great job! :) 👍👏
Sir, If you are ever feeling down just remember you are a fucking legend especially for those who have been following Pokemon anime from it's very first episode. :') Amazing work!
I did a translation of the song once, but wow, mine was WAY off. Great job!!! :D Heck, I can't get over its awesomeness!!! Also, you should put the Japanese lyrics in the description! XP
Thank you again. Your song was also transleted in Germany. Thank you Mr. Paige for an awesome childhood and thank you that you've recorded again, so I can see the master beyond this masterpiece.
Lyrics (I think. Lol.) dare yori motsu yoku tsuyoku naritai pokemon getoga hontou no shirensa gonohiroi sekaiju sakashi motomeru pokemon no hontou no kikara shiru dame pokemon gotta catch em all chikara aou se sorega unmei pokemon oh oretachi de sekai mamorou pokemon gotta catch em all tsuyoi tokoro to yuuki te toi koi yo kimi to ore tasuke atei pokemon gotta catch em all zenbu kika ze
Actually, this is what I hear. Dare yori mo tsuyoku (I want to be stronger) Tsuyoku naritai (Stronger than anyone else) Pokemon GETTO ga (Catching Pokemon,) hontou no shiren sa (That's the real challenge) Kono hiroi sekaijuu (I will search after them) Sagashi motomeru (Throughout this large world) Pokemon no hontou no (To understand) Chikara shiru tame (The true power of Pokemon) Pokemon Gotta Catch 'em All Chikara awase (Combine your strength) Sore ga unmei (That's our destiny) Pokemon Oretachi de (Let's protect the world) sekai mamorou (Together) Tsuyoi kokoro to (With a strong heart) (Couldn't tell if his pronunciation was off, but) Yuuki de todokou yo (We'll make it through with courage) Kimi to ore tasuke atte (You and I will teach each other) Pokemon Gotta Catch 'em All Zenbu GETTO da ze (Gotta Catch' em All)
I have to say, I'm pretty impressed with the lyrics. They stay true very closely to the original (which is very difficult for a language as different from English as Japanese), and they fit pretty well when sung.
Oretachi de (Let's protect the world) sekai mamorou (Together) you switched the translations oretachi de is together and sekai mamoru (thats the correct spelling) is Let's protect the world although your translation makes more sense in english order wise you may confuse people who dont know that if you put the translation for 1 to 2 and the translation for 2 to 1 in my opinion its okay to translate oretachi de sekai mamoru to lets protect the world together but if you translate everything the way you do i would prefer my way of course thats just my opinion though and you dont have to if you dont want to
Kaneki Actually "Mamorou" is the correct way of saying the verb "mamoru (to protect)" in this co text. Mamoru, spoken as such, is just saying "(subject) will protect," where "mamorou" means "*let's* protect." When changing a japanese verb into that form, it is called "volitional." It means "we will" or "let's do it." "Oretachi de sekai wo mamorou" means "let's protect the world together." That said, yes, "Mamoru" is the verb being used. I get the sense you're still learning, though, so I don't want to come off as attacking you or to discourage you in the future. I thought along much the same lines when I started out, so I get it. Your thoughtful comment here shows a keen analysis, though, so keep up the good work. I hope to see you achieve the fluency you seem so close to.
Jason, you're adorable. I'm starting a career in VO, and I want to include this song in my demo to show some singing range (in Spanish, I'm latina, though I could perfectly do it in English but that's not the point in the demo haha). It's such an inspiration to watch you perform and get al psyched.
I've waited too long to think to myself "who really is the guy who sings the pokemon theme song" and now with my birthday being next week, this is another pleasant surprise discovering this channel! I've never subscribed so fast to a RUclips channel until now. Loved the show growing up/theme song and loved the games on gameboy and Nintendo DS. Spent like 500+ hours on them. Good ol days!
Dude. You gotta be kidding me! Jason what can't you do? You could probably sing to coma victims and wake them up. Like for real. You are a truly beautiful person. Damn the world needs you more than ever
I recently just found out that you were the one who sang the first Pokémon intro song in English. Thank you for making my childhood great. I miss the old days, waking up early Saturdays and always enjoying Pokémon.
the original japanese version is great, the western version is great, and even the japanese version of the western version is great :D tldr pokemon is great
I've heard the English version.
I've heard the Japanese version.
Now I've heard the English version in Japanese.
Now we need the Japanese song directly into translated English.
That's long overdue. I can't even recall seeing any decent fancovers out there of Aim to Be a Pokémon Master in English, barring one made a VERY long time ago by someone who couldn't sound mix if their life depended on it.
NinjaristicNinja check out Megami33's English cover for Aim to be a Pokemon master
What about other theme's in Japanese or English like Italian
watch the hindi theme next
now japanese fans can have a taste of what we got to hear.
Did he actually learn Japanese just to sing this ?! If so that's marvelous
@ArsalHD wow you study Japanese?
@ArsalHD that's sick sounds hard to learn tho
@ArsalHD Wrong. You don't need to learn a language to sing a song in it.

TayoEXE thanks for the corrections! :) I'm still not too good at Japanese
Oretachi de (Let's protect the world)
sekai mamorou (Together)
you switched the translations
oretachi de is together and sekai mamoru (thats the correct spelling) is Let's protect the world
although your translation makes more sense in english order wise you may confuse people who dont know that if you put the translation for 1 to 2 and the translation for 2 to 1
in my opinion its okay to translate oretachi de sekai mamoru to lets protect the world together
but if you translate everything the way you do i would prefer my way
of course thats just my opinion though and you dont have to if you dont want to

thank you jason for all the wonderfull pokemon memories
*His voice is so awesome! This brings so much nostalgia!*
This is amazing. Just imagine in an alternate universe, this could have been the actual Japanese theme song :D
I've waited too long to think to myself "who really is the guy who sings the pokemon theme song" and now with my birthday being next week, this is another pleasant surprise discovering this channel! I've never subscribed so fast to a RUclips channel until now. Loved the show growing up/theme song and loved the games on gameboy and Nintendo DS. Spent like 500+ hours on them. Good ol days!
Finally :D I have been waiting for this whole my life :D
Dude. You gotta be kidding me! Jason what can't you do? You could probably sing to coma victims and wake them up. Like for real. You are a truly beautiful person. Damn the world needs you more than ever
The English version is really awesome, but hearing it in Japanese is really cool. I'm so glad he made these videos.
The fact that you took the time to make this is just
👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 thx Jason 😌
I recently just found out that you were the one who sang the first Pokémon intro song in English. Thank you for making my childhood great. I miss the old days, waking up early Saturdays and always enjoying Pokémon.
the original japanese version is great, the western version is great, and even the japanese version of the western version is great :D
