【暗黒】niki - Close to You (English cover)

"Whenever I begin to feel the burning tears..."
Wow, I'm absolutely in love with KL's lyrics for this song. I loved the song so much in Japanese, but after hearing his cover I just fell in love with it even more, so please check it out too! ♥ Sorry for the quality of the mix, the instrumental was beyond repair after I pitched it, if I find a way to make the mix better I will post a new mp3 link!

This cover was never supposed to be uploaded, since it was mostly belting practice for me and I had to pitch the off vocal a lot to actually belt the notes and that was months ago. I'm not proud of what I did to the instrumental track as it sounds terrible now, but I hope it's still good enough and that you guys will like it. D: The reason I didn't rerecord in a different pitch is because I still can't record much, I get like literally 5-10 hours of recording time monthly, and that usually happens in the morning when, let's face it, I growl like a bear instead of singing properly haha. That's why I'm working on my old covers now not to keep my RUclips completely dead till I figure out my living situation. ; v;)/
The animation is beyond simple and the mix isn't the best, but I really wanted to have this out soon. I wanted to dedicate this cover to a dear friend of mine who was going through a little bit of a rough time, I really hope this will make you smile even for a second. ♥

Beautiful. ❤

[@ShinjuRose]

Tachisaru Thank you very much ♥

[@Emily-mf3ug]

No problem.

[@Miyotan]

Jakiego instrumentala użyłaś? I jakiej tonacji?

[@ShinjuRose]

+Miyotan Kurcze, nie pamiętam już jaka to była tonacja, w jednym komentarzu chyba pisałam, ale teraz po tak długim czasie nie jestem w stanie powiedzieć. Pamiętam że zmieszałam dwie tonacje w jedną bo sie instrumental trochę wykruszył, ale okazało się że jest gdzieś w lepszej jakości właśnie ta tonacja, tylko no własnie, niestety nie pamiętam jak to było... Jeśli poszperasz gdzieś w komentarzach to powinno się coś znaleźć. D:

[@capprietermcclovensi5166]

Kto jest ciapą bo zauważył, że Ankoku dostała piosenki po tygodniu? Capprieter. Kto jest jeszcze większą ciapą której życie nie kocha, ponieważ nie miałam przez długi czas internetu i nie zdążył skomentować takiej perełki jaką jest ta piosenka? Capprieter. T-T
Matko, jakie to jest piękne. ;; Ten głos, ta dykcja, to wszystko! Rozpływam się. ;w; Zawsze gdy dodajesz piosenki dzień staje się jeszcze lepszy. Jesteś moim guru w śpiewaniu, numer uno, 4ever na zawsze i prawdopodobieństwo, że kiedyś zmienię zdanie jest wręcz ma na procencie minusowym. ;-;

[@sorahn7134]

А можно ссылку на оригинал, пожалуйста? Не смог найти((
+ спасибо за кавер, он шедеврален)

[@desonyli]

Wow this cover is so... breathtaking! I know the original one and loved it, but this is even better ❤
But srsly what's with this girl's pose? Doesn't it hurt? xD

[@ShinjuRose]

desonyli Aww, thank you so much, I'm really happy to hear that you like it this much! >w< ♥
Haha, now that you mentioned it I tried to do the pose and thought my spine is going to break, but then again I'm no gymnast, I'm pretty sure people can do that without dying, but apparently I'm not one of them. 8D Also as a fun fact - that girl on the picture is actually a guy - Namine Ritsu : D

[@desonyli]

ShinjuRose I don't want to try it. I'm so athletic like a potato. Hope you're okay, we still need you here D: And wait- What?! A _guy_? But I see boobies! xD

[@meltisdead]

Это звучит сильно, вы великолепны.

[@GeekGoggles]

May I used your lovely song for one of my videos? I will give you credit!

[@shinko-chan-1817]

This songs lyrics remind me of when my sister died we got adopted and she got really sick and passed…
