Minecraft – Revenge

I know I said that I’ll focus on Chinese and Japanese, but it is reasonable to put one English song in my blog, right?

Have you ever played the game “Minecraft?”

Maybe you have heard it before, because it is famous. It is my favorite game ever, and I have played it for years. Today I'll share a song about it.

First of all, I want to introduce the guy: Creeper, who is a monster in the game, and he always appears behind us, then blows up without our awareness. That’s why he is the most impressive monster in Minecraft, even can represent the game, as the setting is really loathsome! Especially when you just collect lots of precious mineral. And this is the situation that the song describes.

Believe that you can totally understand if you have played the game.

The video is really interesting and inspirational(?). Initially, I watched it for fun, but then the pleasant voice attracted me immediately. The song is adapted from” DJ Got Us Fallin' in Love.”

Actually, I just want to know who are also playing Minecraft.

This is what I built in Minecraft.

You are not really happy

“You laugh gregariously, as survival is a rule instead of your choice.”

This week comes to Mayday again! There is no denying that their songs can really sing into people’s minds and bring out people’s emotions. This one is no exception. Today I will share the version covered by Tang Tsz-Kei, a famous singer because of the China TV program " I am a Singer." Although she is a controversial singer, her talent can’t be ignored.

(original version)

After listening to it, you maybe feel sad, even weep, and lose your happiness. In addition to bringing out your sadness, However, Tang Tsz-Kei uses her powerful voice and singing skills to cheer you up finally, helping you pick up your lost happiness. And that is the power of voice.

Are you really happy? Maybe your college life is fulfilling. Maybe you are too busy to have a breath. Maybe you have no time to be sad so that you think you are happy. But you still feel empty sometimes. That is, you are not really happy. Then, keep this in mind: “you are worthy of the real happiness.”

Painting? Ah, so

I think the most difficult in my blog is how to translate the song title…

The song title is related to homophonic in Japanese, maybe someone can help me translate it better.

Did you hear three kinds of voices of boy and girls? Actually, there is just one person, and she sing three different voices. It is why I want to share it with you, not only because it sounds great, but also because the vocal can sing two or more voices of different gender without incongruity. How amazing!

The female vocal, “96-neko,” whose pronunciation in Japanese is same as “black cat,” is a network singer just like last week one, but she acts on the Japanese anime website “Niconico.” Although it is a anime website, you can still find lots of great creative music and interesting videos on it.

The background of this song is a Japanese role-playing game (RPG) named ”Ib.” A little girl, Ib, visit art gallery with her family one day, and was stuck in the world of painting suddenly. Then she met a gentle man, Garry, and a mysterious girl, Marry, and they tried to find way out of the horrible galley together.

If you want to experience the feeling of horror in a adorable style without blood or scary ghost, try this game, Ib.

A Cup of Heaven

Hey, guys! Thank you for reading my second article. This song is also a covered version, but this time is a man cover a woman’s song. “A Cup of Heaven” is originally performed by Yan-Yi Dan, and it is the ending song of “Scarlet Heart,” a court drama of China.

(Original version)

This song is about a harem concubine who married into palace and lost her freedom from then on. Most people know that the life in palace is boring and depressed, since she was stuck in the small place and saw the same view from day to day, not to mention that her husband was not belong to her alone. Such a terrible place , However, because her lover was here, the place was a heaven to her. That is why the song is named “A Cup of Heaven.”

(Covered version)

It was my first time to know that a man could sing more softly than a woman. 
Walker is a network singer, and he is one of my favorite singers. Maybe just few people know him, because he doesn’t like most singers, acting in public usually. But he has undeniable strength. He doesn’t need the advertising to promote himself; he doesn’t need exposure to make people know him; he doesn’t need a glamorous appearance to catch people’s eyes. What he has is a good voice, and it’s enough. In my opinion, many network singers will not lose to pop singers. 
If you just want to listen to great voice, try to follow them.
