LETS GO GENOOOOOOOO
eren jaeger
Lets gooo
Geno’s bizarre adventure
Ayoooo Joey the manga man !!
Massive legend HERE
And let’s not forget he’s wearing the same outfit as Mariya in the photo!!
Dream7 I noticed right away
Fucking good catch there! I totally didn't see that
😂😂😂
Odd bit of trivia, the cover that’s always shown with and this song is from a totally different album lol
Joshua McAlister yep! There is an original 4 minute video on RUclips that has the original album cover.
Correct me if I’m wrong but
I’m japanese so I can understand the lyrics
But I’m pretty sure he changed some of the lyrics to fit a male
Where in the original lyrics she says “dress and shoes” he changed the lyrics to “suit and shoes” and some parts where in the original song where Marie says
onna- woman
He changes it to
Otoko- man
I just find this very interesting and fun
You did such a good job !!
that details. good job to him
Mmm that's what I call localization
Still he keeps “Watashi” “nanoyo”, which are female indicaters.
But I think a man singing fem language is sexy.
He has a big channel, he did it knowing that Japanese subs would watch the video and notice the details!
대박 그런거구나
came here immediately after finishing the trash taste episode ft. geno and this is just a breath of fresh air after listening to that episode ༎ຶ‿༎ຶ
Pain peko moment
same.heheh
Same lol
YOOO WHAT I DIDNT EVEN NOTICE IT WAS GENO AND I WATCHED THIS BEFORE
Lol same
Y'all know it slaps when the actual japanese peeps are in the comment saying u did the song justice
Cotton Eyed JoeMAMA this is my favorite comment of all time
Agreed, very wholesome.
Also damn you with your profile pic and name lmao😂
Meanwhile the Americans are bitching about genders or something
@@Starpotion They aren't, you weirdo. They're praising him for having the dedication to change the genders to reflect a male singer. Stop getting mad at invisible boogiemen.
日本語めっちゃうまい!
日本の歌を歌ってくれるの嬉しい😆
Your Japanese is perfect !
Thank you for singing Japanese song💕
from Japan
I like comments like these. So indearing
いえーい
hes an uber weeb, yeah.

Mariya Takeuchi does a good impression of Geno Samuel
Actually, This is a remake of "Plastic Love" that was originally done by Mariya!

For years I've considered this the best Plastic Love cover online, but didn't realize it was Geno Samuel until I saw the Trash Taste episode and wondered why I recognized his face. My mind is blown.
hi mr sceptile fanboy
Check out Friday Night Plans’ cover. Just as awesome imho
The channel is literally called Geno Samuel
same hahaha
🤔
Truegreen7 -> Pokemon -> Sonichu -> Chris Chan -> Geno Samuel
Yeah I guess that tracks.
I want to see this guy walk into a Japanese Karaoke Bar and bring the house down.
what a fucking great movie scene ^^
So do I !!
*TERRORISM INTENSIFIES*
Omg lmaooo
Bring the house down, boots okrrrr
When she only dates guys who speaks Japanese
"Do you speak any Japanese?"

The guitar he is playing was built in Japan during the era when Plastic Love was first released!
He’s wearing the same clothes!
He even changed the gender in the lyrics.
10/10 dedication, accuracy, and performance!
That's pretty good attention to detail
@@ryno4ever433 sure is
Why change the gender
@@Patrick3183 maybe just out of preference; aswell adding his own spin!
@@Patrick3183 It's a little more than that; he's singing from his point of view so he changes the pronouns to his own pronouns. He also changes the words about the clothing worn, presumably because he doesn't see himself in a dress like Mariya Takeuchi :P
I like to imagine he cleaned up after this then recorded a Chris Chan episode.
I can't believe this same voice told me deadpan about frozen semen supplies
WANT WOMAN
I like to think he read about Chris' music "talent" and had the urge to show off his awesome music talent to put Chris to shame lol
@@TechSpec814 so, its liquid chris 2 electric boogaloo. Awesome.
holy shit I haven't even watched the trash taste ep yet this just came up on my recommended lmao

@Sal G I think you need to reread the sentence
Sal G eek
Wow even the lyrics are properly fixed to fit the male cover
oh shit :o
yep, that one definitely caught my ear
i was like, dafuq why is it "suutsu mo" when it should be "doresu mo"... then it hit me hahaha
Not exactly. The song is still structured like it was made by a woman so it kinda sounds awkward coming from a native.
IDK if you know this but this song was also singed (or sung?) by Tatsuro Yamashita, Mariya's husband #themoreyouknow
Dr Plague Productions Respaldo Dr Plague Productions Respaldo I actually just listened to it recently; I wish I was there during the live when he performed it...(I lowkey wasn’t alive then lmao)

He sounds as legit as a Japanese singer in some anime OST.
You know Japan singers exists outside of anime, right?
He has a great voice but he is altering it as well
Like a kids on the slope with K-on bu schnitzens.. :3
@@subscribes6434: How so? That's his actual voice. No alterations.
Wdym from an anime?
I just realized he changes the lyrics to match his gender.
What are the changes?
maybe he used tatsuro yamashitas take on it
He changed kare(he) to kanojou(she)
@@nihilistic9927 Thank you!
He also changed the part of the lyrics where it says dress to suits.
That microphone has heard angelic things like this, and horrors beyond comprehension done by one human being. Perfectly balanced

Wait, like, THE Geno Samuel who makes videos on Chris-Chan? What a talented man
Damn, not only are you singing, but:
-Facing a microphone
-Playing chords on a keyboard
AND singing lyrics (all in a different language with perfect pronunciation).
If that isn't talent, I don't know what is.
Whats more impressive are his shadow clones playing the other instruments in sync!
Autotune?..
@@kenshobuq7105 Autotune can't make you sound good alone, and it's usually extremely noticeable if you use large amounts, such as in a lot of crappy rap songs where they have minimal singing talent and use autotune to make up for it. And even if he did use autotune, still playing instruments and has some form of singing talent.
@@kylaniharinaeki5719
Aite, i think you're right :)
I didn't know they autotuned mumble rap.
Anyway this is good stuff, i love this song 😎
how do you know he isn't Japanese? racist smh

素晴らしいコラボだ。
DUDE. Your Japanese diction is solid, and I love the way you brought certain chords and textures out in the mix by using slightly different instrumental timbres than the original. This cover made my night! So good!
for real, as an example the chord right after 1:43, sounded much better than in the original mix.
スゲ~!
しかも男子バージョン、メチャクチャ合ってる!
I love it ! Your camerawork, editing, pronunciation, inflection, your vocal range, even the acting is amazing !

your accent is WAY better than what i was expecting. good job
Jake Rodriguez. Exactly what I was thinking!!
Proper Japanese pronunciation isn't that difficult if you know even the slightest bit of Japanese tbh
I think it helps he is singing. When singing the accent is less noticeable
The thing is, you matched the tone of the original. This feels the joy and sorrow of the original as much as could probably be possible using your own equipment and not actually being in a vintage recording studio. Excellent work here!
Superbly detailed work yes- it's all there ! ! one of the best versions I have heard. - nice guitar solo!!
Not really.
Just saw the Trash Taste episode and was shocked when I realized I had already seen this amazing cover years ago. Amazing, I'm disappointed in myself that I wasn't already subbed.
This video was recommended to me, and I realised that I recognised him from the thumbnail of the trash taste episode. Was not expecting that

you actually changed the "女" to "男", I love this so much
delusion tax the original song said 女人?所以the original artist liked girl?
@@pamihmod well the original artist, Mariya Takeuchi, was a woman and that part of the song says something like "you claim I'm a cold woman" or something like that, so it makes sense Geno changed it to "男" since he's a guy
High level weebs detected
He also changed "Doresu" (dress) from the original song to "Suitsu" (Suit)
i didn’t realize how many characters have the same meaning in mandarin and japanese
Actually the best version of this song that isn't the original. Great eay to close out the year!
Well her husband has a cover of the song he help produce it after all
Original is better
A lot of people say that, because it sounds so similar to the original, but I've heard some other versions that actually try to change the song a bit more, so it's hard to say which is better. I love this cover because it invokes the original so well, but I equally like the remixes I've heard, for the opposite reason.
Have u heard tatsuya yamashita's version?
わたしは日本人です
この曲は昔から大好きです

Is it just me that realised after the podcast that this is THE DUDE that does the Chris chan documentaries?

He didn't make citypop cover anymore, instead he make a original city pop song now Is called Convenience Store, so check it out.
He just dropped a cover of Stay With Me
He's still doing em. Woohoo!

うま過ぎだろ…
Without any visual element I would've been tricked to believe this is a Japanese recording artist and from an album you can actually buy. Though I would prefer your voice to be more prominent in the mixing, and reverb set higher like that of 小田和正 would be classic and irresistible.
A female vocal stands out in a mix much easier because of the frequencies present. Also, adding reverb actually makes a vocal seem further away in a mix. So, it works for Mariya's vocal, but for this guy's voice, which has less high frequencies already, adding reverb would cut even more high frequencies, giving it less prominence :)
映像見ないと日本人が歌ってるようだ。すごいよ!
Thank you Geno, very cool!
