Everything about this.... you've conveyed everything about Mafuyu's struggles perfectly. Her living a live that's not her own, her realization, her wanting to end the falsehood, the pain she went through without others knowing, questioning who she is without the falsehood she lived through to finally speaking up about it. I really hope by the time we get her 5th event, there's at least some progress cause she's suffered more than enough as it is. Especially since the other Niigo members already have closures to their predicament
Lyrics Somebody had said those fateful word someday: "Each person has a role they're born to play." "Sharing what we lack and smiling to our strife -- that's how to live, that's the purpose of a life." If those words are truly what the people willed, why is it this emptiness is waiting to be filled? Oh, can you hear my plea... that cryptic somebody? Somebody had told somebody else someday: "This is just the role that you're born to play." " Is it a crime to only want the best for you? Everyone else lives in this normal lifestyle, too." Seeing how my act had brought you nothing but joy I had played it perfectly so to not disappoint I lost the means to breathe, but weren't you proud of me? In a pile of trash, at the break of dawn a schoolbag, lost and all alone with a name tag on when was it I had started worrying about the things that went around me when I played nice? If there's a single wish that I could pray for tomorrow then I would wish to close the curtain on this cruel show I won't continue to play this role You had lied all along! I have lived my story wrong Now that i severed all the strings that once controlled me I don't know where I belong or I should be I just wanted to find who I really am inside Is this the price I must pay for simply being a fool? Dear god, this world is far too tainted and cruel I've more than enough So I plead... just end the play for me. In this world is people who are wild and mad and yet, there are those who still push on through the bad in the end, each person's merely playing out their part pressured to roles they may not be at heart If that's so, then could this dissappoinment finally bloom Into something better than just digging me a tomb? I told myself that lie when I saw point to life "If you hope and pray, then I know that you will have the power to make all your hopes and dreams come true." Who was it that had told me that lie when they knew all along that it would never come to be? If there's some secret saviour somewhere watching over me then, I implore you to give me the name that I should be since I don't remember that name of mine I plead on to the sun, not to let the morning come I clasp both my hands tight in a shaky desperate prayer, yet dawn descends upon my dull world still nonetheless I just wanted to see what the future held for me so, tell me, god, is that such a foolish things to want to find out? Everything feels like an empty void now I'm just tired of everything tired of me, and tired of trying to breath Trying to be someone who could be loved I threw myself away, while hoping it would be enough performing on an empty stage with no-one watching, there was someones voice that echoed through lonely dark "I'm right here, can't you see?!" a voice had sobbed so helplessly and once again it cried out but "Won't somebody noticed me?!" but nobody seem to hear or understand those desperate and lonely cries... ...because that voice had always been mine. You had lied all along, I've been breathing oh, so wrong finally, I gained the strength to open up my tired eyes and to learn that I don't belong within this world of lies I just wanted to find who I really am inside so, I ran away, and I had found myself the tiniest light to break the curse of my eternal dreary night so, now, once and for all, here on this day I'll end this nightmare play I've finally woken up... AMIAA IS SOO AMAZINGGG AAAAAAAAAAAA
I loved that the lyrics show Mafuyu's pain and misery and the part: "So I ran away, and I had found myself the tiniest light" Showed that one scene where Mafuyu runs away from her house. Showing that she found a tiny light of hope
Yeah, this whole song is written for Mafuyu about her struggles, it's pretty clear from all the lyrics. I believe it said "You are wrong, Mother!" at around 1:21 in the original lyrics, which show Mafuyu standing up for herself and telling her mother what she wanted to do, before she ran away from home.
OH MY GOOD GOD AMIA YOUR LYRICS PAIRED WITH YOUR VOICE MAKE ME ASCEND THEYRE SO GOOD, I KNOW YOU PROBABLY WONT SEE THIS BUT YOUR MUSIC HELPED ME WHEN I WAS IN A VERY DARK MENTAL STATE AND ILL FOREVER SUPPORT AND APPRECIATE YOU, IT MAKES ME SO HAPPY JUST LISTENING TO THE EMOTION AND POWER IN YOUR VOICE LIKE I COULD SOMEDAY BE THAT STRONG AND GIVE PEOPLE THE SAME HOPE YOU GAVE ME, SO I JUST WANT TO SAY, THANK YOU
Amia you constantly surprise me by the amount of emotions you pour on Mafuyu's songs, I like to think the mourning melancholic tone from Reborn have finally turned into the will to finally push herself out, like the anger and desperation added to the sadness of that song. Thank you so much for the translyrics and the cover, you made me cry in this song once again
And speaking of Mafuyuu, I think that Amia is the perfect English VA for her if somebody were to make an English dub. (This would be perfect as a Mafuyuu solo song.)
my jaw is on the floor. this may be the best cover you have done so far, literal chills. the sheer emotion in your voice is EVERYTHING. this is actually insane im gonna go cry now
This song had so much impact on me when it first released. Goodbye to my Masked Self is an insanely important event to me and one I, to this day, cry to when I read it. The lyrics and vocals you put for this song are incredible and captures the message of both the song and event so well, I hope many listen to this and feel the same way. Thank you for covering this song, I'll be sure to listen to this cover on loop while I tier the event on EN! 🙏
OMLL DUDE YOUR VOCALS, THE LYRICS, EVERYTHING IT WAS JUST SO AMAZING AND IT HONESTLY ALMOST MADE ME CRY, THIS WAS SO GOOD!!! PLEASE KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK BC YOU’RE SO TALENTED
the emotion in your voice is so much more painful than the other past covers /pos. the lyrics are so beautiful and i’m defo looping this, gorgeous like always ami !1?1!1 💜
BEST COVER of Engeki!!!!!!! You put so much effort in this song (and every song). This song is my most favorite of mafuyu’s commission thank you so much.
I got so many chills listening to this, holy shit. The pain and frustration is conveyed so incredibly well in each line. And the sharp shift of that pain from weak helplessness to powerful anger at 3:28 especially is just so insane! Your vocal range is actually amazing!!
this song is so personal to me since I ran away not too long after Mafuyu did. I got sick seeing your cover in my recommended. But you did it so much justice. Wonderful as usual
I know next to nothing about music so I don't know what to call it, but when you hit the high notes at the beginning of the chorus' (1:19 for ex) it sounds beyond ethereal. It really brings the feeling of realizing you were fooled, and implies that you're going to break free. And the emotion you put into the song overall is perfectly expressive, and shows that you definitely understand the feelings portrayed. I genuinely have never heard anything as beautiful as this cover; like it's on its own level by far.
As someone who is in hospital right now, just hearing your cover got me extremely emotional, I relate to the line “I’m tired of trying to breath” like you put so much power behind it it really stuck a cord in me…so thank u for the cover I feel like you’re singing what I’m feeling right now.💜
I know this was posted a bit ago, but I’m proud of you. We have gotten rid of our masks and are on a way to becoming our true selves, even if they’re hard to find :)
i never really listen to english covers. but this…. this brought me to tears. the original song did as well, and understanding the lyrics as well as you so perfectly portraying mafuyu’s pain is just painfully beautiful. it felt like i listened to 演劇 for the first time again
Ok this is my first time commenting on your channel but I've been watching you ever since i found your id smile cover, and ngl your covers just keep getting better and better! The fact that i wasn't much of a big fan of this song( idk why, it just didn't interest me) but i have just realized what i was missing on😭, i LOVE this song now You're also the reason i found some songs that are now one of my favs Like you're literally a blessing to my playlist😭 (i even have a separate one just for your covers cuz they're so good)
Holy- 3:03 to 3:10 shook me to my core. This is straight up my new favorite English cover of anything, ever. Your voice imparts so much emotion, without sacrificing its beauty in the slightest! You deserve 10000x more views on this masterpiece. Bravo!
Brilliant, incredible, showstopping, spectacular, never the same Overall this was absolutely gorgeous! Your covers never cease to amaze me :DD Keep up the great work, Ami!

You did amazing again Ami ! Nanou dropped us a banger of a song for Mafuyu's focus and your lyrics go perfectly with it ! Love the emotions in your singing too !
I'm literally gonna cry IM NOT EVEN JOKING THE SMILE I HAD ON MY FACE THE WHOLE TIME I LISTENED TO THIS IS EMBARRASSING FJJFNFDHSJD SUCH GOOD VOCALS ISTG makes me feel like I'm connecting a bit with my younger self :)
HOLY SHIT IM ACTUALLY CRYING YOUR VOCALS ARE CURING MY DEPRESSION RN THEY JUST SO SO EMOTIONAL AND PASSIONATE OMFG I KNEW I RELATED TO THIS SONG BEFORE BUT NOW OMG I CANT THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR COVERING THIS SONG ILYSM
I’ve been waiting for you to cover this since it came out, and the wait was well worth it! Your vocals and lyrics were so absolutely heartbreaking and beautiful that I legit started tearing up! Great job!
woke up this morning and planned on reorganizing my spotify playlist.. WHY ARE ALL UR SONGS BUT UNEXPECTED STORM GONNEEEE 😭😭😭😭😭 I may be cooked :( samsa was fire now its gone
THE FEELINGS, THE MELODY, THE LYRICS. Every cover of you impress me everyday! Im so happy you cover this song, the moment it release i knew this song was definitely the one Mafuyu needed. I instantly loved it. Lit crying for your amazing voice
Some things to point out: 0:53 “I lost the means to breathe, but weren’t you proud of me…?” This actually relates so well to Mafuyu, because she had been trying to make her mother happy all this time, but it was wounding her. 1:31 “I just wanted to find who I really am inside” This is a reference to Mafuyu being lost in her identity, as she doesn’t know her true self 4:09 “So I ran away, and I found myself the tiniest light” A reference to Mafuyu running away and finding Kanade, giving herself a boost of hope
Your voice is amazing ❤ and the emotions in this song make me cry, Thank you for the song. It gives me strength to fight for the things I like. [And also a little wish - Sekai セカイ english version, PLEASE]
this was so beautiful 😭😭😭 the emotions in your voice and the lyrics… i’m not sure if it was on purpose but i caught the “dear god, this world is far too tainted and cruel” in the first chorus and it immediately reminded me of your cover for samsa… what a callback!!
WE ARE BEATING MAFUYU'S MOM UP WITH THIS ONE 🗣🔥🗣🔥🗣🔥🗣🔥🗣🔥
Real
YES
mrs asahina? more like mrs asshole !!
HELL YEAH 🗣🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Ya
Everything about this.... you've conveyed everything about Mafuyu's struggles perfectly. Her living a live that's not her own, her realization, her wanting to end the falsehood, the pain she went through without others knowing, questioning who she is without the falsehood she lived through to finally speaking up about it. I really hope by the time we get her 5th event, there's at least some progress cause she's suffered more than enough as it is. Especially since the other Niigo members already have closures to their predicament
Lyrics
Somebody had said those fateful word someday:
"Each person has a role they're born to play."
"Sharing what we lack and smiling to our strife --
that's how to live, that's the purpose of a life."
If those words are truly what the people willed,
why is it this emptiness is waiting to be filled?
Oh, can you hear my plea... that cryptic somebody?
Somebody had told somebody else someday:
"This is just the role that you're born to play."
" Is it a crime to only want the best for you?
Everyone else lives in this normal lifestyle, too."
Seeing how my act had brought you nothing but joy
I had played it perfectly so to not disappoint
I lost the means to breathe, but weren't you proud of me?
In a pile of trash, at the break of dawn
a schoolbag, lost and all alone with a name tag on
when was it I had started worrying about the things
that went around me when I played nice?
If there's a single wish that I could pray for tomorrow
then I would wish to close the curtain on this cruel show
I won't continue to play this role
You had lied all along! I have lived my story wrong
Now that i severed all the strings that once controlled me
I don't know where I belong or I should be
I just wanted to find who I really am inside
Is this the price I must pay for simply being a fool?
Dear god, this world is far too tainted and cruel
I've more than enough
So I plead... just end the play for me.
In this world is people who are wild and mad
and yet, there are those who still push on through the bad
in the end, each person's merely playing out their part
pressured to roles they may not be at heart
If that's so, then could this dissappoinment finally bloom
Into something better than just digging me a tomb?
I told myself that lie when I saw point to life
"If you hope and pray, then I know that you
will have the power to make all your hopes and dreams come true."
Who was it that had told me that lie
when they knew all along that it would never come to be?
If there's some secret saviour somewhere watching over me
then, I implore you to give me the name that I should be
since I don't remember that name of mine
I plead on to the sun, not to let the morning come
I clasp both my hands tight in a shaky desperate prayer, yet
dawn descends upon my dull world still nonetheless
I just wanted to see what the future held for me
so, tell me, god, is that such a foolish things to want to find out?
Everything feels like an empty void now
I'm just tired of everything
tired of me, and tired of trying to breath
Trying to be someone who could be loved
I threw myself away, while hoping it would be enough
performing on an empty stage with no-one watching,
there was someones voice that echoed through lonely dark
"I'm right here, can't you see?!" a voice had sobbed so helplessly
and once again it cried out but "Won't somebody noticed me?!"
but nobody seem to hear or understand
those desperate and lonely cries...
...because that voice had always been mine.
You had lied all along, I've been breathing oh, so wrong
finally, I gained the strength to open up my tired eyes
and to learn that I don't belong within this world of lies
I just wanted to find who I really am inside
so, I ran away, and I had found myself the tiniest light
to break the curse of my eternal dreary night
so, now, once and for all, here on this day
I'll end this nightmare play
I've finally woken up...
AMIAA IS SOO AMAZINGGG AAAAAAAAAAAA
I loved that the lyrics show Mafuyu's pain and misery and the part:
"So I ran away, and I had found myself the tiniest light"
Showed that one scene where Mafuyu runs away from her house. Showing that she found a tiny light of hope
Yeah, this whole song is written for Mafuyu about her struggles, it's pretty clear from all the lyrics. I believe it said "You are wrong, Mother!" at around 1:21 in the original lyrics, which show Mafuyu standing up for herself and telling her mother what she wanted to do, before she ran away from home.

i’m just tired of everything; tired of me
and tired of trying to breathe
trying to be someone who could be loved
i threw myself away, while hoping it would be enough
performing on an empty stage with no-one watching, there was someone’s voice that echoed through lonely dark
“i’m right here, can’t you see?!” a voice had sobbed so helplessly
and once again it cried out “won’t somebody notice me?!”
but nobody could seem to hear or understand those desperate and lonely cries…
…because that voice had always been mine.
you had lied all along, i’ve been breathing oh-so wrong
finally, i gained the strength to open up my tired eyes
and to learn i don’t belong within this world of lies
i just wanted to find who i really am inside
so, i ran away, and i had found myself the tiniest light
to break the curse of my eternal dreary night
so, now, once and for all, here on this day
i’ll end this nightmare play
i’ve finally woken up.
this is amazing Amia! i think its one of my favorite covers youve done so far, this song means a lot to me and im so glad someone could capture the feeling of the song especially with the emotion in your voice. i love your lyrics and i hope one day i can create something better and help people like you helped me, i look forward to seeing more covers from you and thank you so much 💗
This made me cry almost immediately
Thank you so much for sharing your skill and talent with the world
Your vocals and lyrics are amazing! :)
ITS SO GOOD AMIA WE ARE SO PROUD ❤❤
*Lyrics for me and for anyone that wants to use them:*
Somebody had said those fateful words someday:
“Each person has a role that they’re born to play.”
“Sharing what we lack and smiling through our strife-
that’s how to live, that’s a purpose of a life.”
If those words are truly what the people willed,
why is it this emptiness is waiting to be filled?
Oh can you hear my plea… that cryptic somebody?
---
Somebody had told somebody else someday:
“This is just the role that you were born to play.”
“Is it a crime to only want the best for you? Everyone else lives this normal lifestyle too.”
Seeing how my act had brought you nothing but joy
I had played it perfectly so to not disappoint.
I lost the means to breathe, but weren’t you proud of me…?
In a pile of trash, at the break of dawn.
A schoolbag, lost and all alone with a name tag on.
When was it I had started worrying about the things that went on around me when I played nice?
If there’s a single wish that I could pray for tomorrow
then I would wish to close the curtain on this cruel show.
I won’t continue to play this role.
…..
You had lied all along! I have lived my story wrong!
Now that I have severed all the strings that once controlled me
I don’t know where I belong or I should be.
I just wanted to find who I really am inside! Is this the price I must pay for simply being a fool?
Dear God, this world is far too tainted and cruel…!
I’ve had more than enough, so I plead…
Just end the play for me.
---
In this world is people who are wild and mad
and yet, there are those who still push on through the bad.
In the end, each person’s merely playing out their part
pressured to roles that may not be at heart.
If that’s so, then could this disappointment finally bloom
into something better then just digging me a tomb?
I told myself that lie when I saw point to life.
“If you hope and pray, then I know you
will have the power to make all your hopes and dreams come true.”
Who was it that had told me that lie
when they knew all along that it would never come to be?
If there’s some secret savior somewhere watching over me
then, I implore you to give me the name that I should be.
Since I don’t remember that name of mine.
…
I plead on to the sun, not to let the morning come!
I clasp both my hands tight in a shaky desperate prayer, yet
dawn descends upon my dull world still nonetheless.
I just wanted to see what the future held for me!
So, tell me, God, is that such a foolish thing to want to find out? Everything feels like an empty void now.
I’m just tired of everything…!
Tired of me, and tired of trying to breathe…
🎶🎶~~
Trying to be someone who could be loved
I threw myself away, while hoping it would be enough.
Performing on an empty stage with no-one watching,
there was someone’s voice that echoed through lonely dark…
!!!!!
*“I’m right here, can’t you see?!”* A voice had sobbed so helplessly
and once again it cried out, *“Won’t somebody notice me?!”*
but nobody could seem to hear or understand
those desperate and lonely cries…
*…because that voice had always been mine!!!*
…
You had lied all along, I’ve been breathing oh, so wrong.
Finally, I gained the strength to open up my tired eyes
and to learn I don’t belong within this world of lies.
*I just wanted to find who I really am inside!*
So, I ran away, and I had found myself the tiniest light
to break the curse of my eternal dreary night.
So, now, once and for all, here on this day.
*I’ll end this nightmare play.*
*I’ve finally woken up…*

Some things to point out:
0:53 “I lost the means to breathe, but weren’t you proud of me…?”
This actually relates so well to Mafuyu, because she had been trying to make her mother happy all this time, but it was wounding her.
1:31 “I just wanted to find who I really am inside”
This is a reference to Mafuyu being lost in her identity, as she doesn’t know her true self
4:09 “So I ran away, and I found myself the tiniest light”
A reference to Mafuyu running away and finding Kanade, giving herself a boost of hope
not me viewing this as the event is going on in english server rn LOL
Ur covers are the fuel my life is running on 🙏
Amazing cover as always 🥲
MY DREAMS HAVE COME TRUEE!!!!
