When a content creator gets this big and has to much on their plate, it's natural to outsource as much work as they can. Looking at the credits, demondice only translated the song into English and sung it, and (I would imagine) lead some of the project. The mixing, artwork, music video, instruments and everything else was done by someone else. Even a producer is listed in the credits. Translating a song and singing it takes, I don't know, maybe 3 hours of focused work to do? Don't get me wrong, Demondice's work has meant a lot to me, but it's easy to forget the different people who deserve credit for their part of a project.
@@lb-zm8kd short version: Everything that is not listed and making sure that everything that is listed was as good as possibly could be. Then mixing and mastering it all. Real version on this song: I was abroad so I had to find the right people for each part. It started with my assistant Ikanaide as usual prepping a project by getting a drum transcription and some notes in a project file for me so I can use all my energy on making things good instead of busywork. Then I did not have a guitar or anything in my current studio as I am currently in Turkey and about to travel to romania (Originally form the Netherlands. Long story for another day) so I had to ask someone who I knew would nail it in a quick timespan. Luckily I already knew of Altrclad. Got him to record the guitar and bass. Had to send it back a bit here and there for a couple changes. Made a lot of tweaks to the audio file itself to show him what was actually played in the original song because for some reason I am naturally really good at "spot the difference" in audio. Where as most other people will "it gets the point across, close enough". It honestly does not change too much but it'll make the difference for people who really look at stuff in more detail. After that I had to re-amp all the guitars so they sounded pretty close to the original but still a bit more 'western' in terms of sound to fit the western/english lyric approach. I could make a whole video about that but it'd be very very boring. Then after that I did all the drums. Made some fixes from Ikanaide's original transcription and changed all the drum sounds a couple times to make sure it fits together really well. Then I mixed it all. think; adding subtle distortion and EQ to it all so it doesnt sound messy and sounds like a produced song instead of a voice memo kinda energy. Got vocals, edited and mixed that. Requested some tweaks from Karen. She did not have the time to do all of them due to... I think she was hopping on a plane that day? So I had to ask my fiance to sing the missing parts (a couple harmonies, nothing crazy). Then redid the instrumental mix to fit the vocals. Then redid the vocal mix again 2 times. Then redid the instrumental mix again to tweak the sound to be a bit more balanced before I mastered it. Then I mastered it. Sent it to Karen, she requested a tiny tweak because I made a mistake on editing 1 word that I missed (thanks for catching that Karen
@lemonssssssss4 hahahahaha, no. You'll be surprised at how little music pays. If you want to know: Look up the richest people in music... take away the people who are rich because of fashion, tech, or other companies outside of music. Now look up the richest people in technology related fields and compare their net worth. That's roughly the pay gap between regular work like plumbing, programming etc compared to music.
@@MasterAndross dang man, this was super interesting!! thanks for sharing the process; your production always sounds great and this cover in particular came out fantastically :D
glad to be in the timeline where Dice, FAKE TYPE, Ado, and One Piece are linked in some level. translyrics slap per usual, cheers to the song and MV production team as well!!
This cover is so good... We can see how much DDK's voice has changed and improved to get to this point.. Listening this back to back with Ado's original is just chef's kiss.
@@OwGash yeppp, Ado made (if I'm not mistaken) 2 songs for the One Piece movie. According to Ado, Uta (which she also VA's for) was also inspired from THHK's "princess ♂️" (which DDK has also worked on). It's neat to see things come full circle
"I'm not tired, tired, tired, I'm not lonely. I'm fine yeah Blind ya" Well yeah, Demondice. In regards to that first part, we always have your back. And for that second part, you literally don't have eyes. I'm still coming down from the fact Demondice is a One Piece fan. SuGEEEEEEEEE!
This version nails the energy and emotion conveyed through the original song. The anger and aggression is communicated perfectly through the vocals and lyrics. Both the original and this version is great in its own way.
10/10 cover. I think it's an impossible task to try and match Ado's vocals, but between the excellent performance, translation work, well-replicated MV and the very unique style of emulating the rhythm to Japanese speech with English lyrics, this is definitely an admirable alternative take on the song and might hopefully make more people who speak English aware of Ado and Dice both.
DDK making a cover of the latest song for One Piece Red really gets my heart sailing !! Her singing style never FAILS TO PUMP UP THE HYPE IN ME! ♥️♥️♥️🖤🖤🖤
Bruh, how did we get here? Started watching One Piece so long ago that I was slapping an analogue television when the picture fuzzed. What a wild crossover 🤘
DDK you are so amazing! You’ve just improved and shot higher and higher with every song and cover you’ve released and I can’t get enough! I want more more more content, it’s just so amazing! You work so effortlessly and so so much to consistently put out good stuff, I wish the best for you! 🙌
Wow you really have a voice for rock / punk! We know you for your rap obviously, but this comes as a bit of a surprise, would love to see some more covers (or originals? 😇) in that direction in the future.
Holy shiet, this is actually a good cover. Karen actually managed to capture Ado's way of singing, and the background music orchestrated in this cover is much more "booming" than the original, something additional that I liked. Seriously though, Karen never fails to impress me with her English covers
Yoooo just found you cause theres a car in my city with a sticker and your name on it on their rear window and I see it all the time! So glad I found your music
I thought she somehow pulled out a completely new faster style, only to realize I had the video at 1.5 speed from a previous one. Still an absolute banger cover from DDK
Thank you for the cover it was amazing, Ado would be proud! Sounds like you had a LOT of fun singing this too, and so did I listening to it! Thank you again!
God damn! That absolutely kicked ass! 🤘 I've fallen in love with this song and I was so excited when you announced that you would cover it. You did a stellar job. Your voice is very fitting for Ado's songs. You really nailed her sound and energy here, while putting your own spin on it. The MV was sick too. Definitely putting this in my playlist.
Absolute fire, DDK! Great cover, you always do such an amazing job with these. Your voice suits the song really well and it was great to hear you trying out more of a rock style. You have a great voice for rock. Thanks for sharing this one with us~
Can we just take a moment to appreciate the master lyricist at work? Alot of the covers just do a literal translation and the internal rhythm is all over the place. DDK makes this sound like an original.
Wow, you've got some serious talent there, Demondice. This is my first time listening to one of your covers, but you have absolutely amazing vocals, and I can feel the emotion in your voice. I really like listening to music while I work on my book, and you're definitely going to be someone I jam out to. I feel like I've heard you sing before, so I must have ran into one of your covers at some point. Anyway, I love this song and it honestly deserves like 10 times more views. Keep pumping covers like this out, and you'll be super big one day. I would put you up there with LeeandLie, honestly. I used to and still do listen to her covers a ton, especially for anime openings. For the raw emotion put into your words, you kind of remind me of NF, only he raps instead. Wish I found you earlier. I haven't even seen the film, but this is absolute fire! Edit: I just saw that you also wrote the English lyrics yourself. You did a great job.
Heck yeah Backlight! Cannot wait to see how you handled the lyrics to this! Gonna be amazing! Edit: You freakin nailed it! That was amazin! Emulating Ado's vocals is challenging for people but you did great! The EN lyrics are fire too!

11/10 blown out of the stratosphere
Dice was able to match Ado’s tone down to a T with this cover! 🔥🔥🔥
Lmao no, she did her best tho. But yeah to be fair, almost nobody has Ado's growling and if they did: it would be a quick way to ruin your voice.
@@thequadrupleagent4130 those growls were pretty insane. Didn't she could even sound like that.
@@nickmilo932 You need to listen to Usseewa then, it's the song that made her famous and her growling puts it over the top.
