My Hero Academia - [ENGLISH OP] Sora ni Utaeba (FULL Ver.) - Caleb Hyles

[@CalebHyles]

Hello all!! ♥ Just a couple of creator notes: It's cool that people are recognizing that I tend to do a mix of Japanese and English! I love blending the two together, and it's nice to see people looking forward to it. That being said, I do like to do full, English versions from time to time. I promise you, mixing the two languages has kinda become a defining feature on my channel, so don't expect that to go away anytime soon ;) In regards to translation concerns; while we may disagree on the overall meaning of the song, I have never been one to care too much about a literal word-to-word translation. FOR EXAMPLE! : "Cut straight through the mirage And gaze upon the blue sky. Eternity in flight! I'm singin' to the sky, Regrets are unavoidable" "Our most precious desires can't be obtained without hurtings others. We follow an ideal that allows us to accept those losses." ^ The above is the Japanese-to-English direct translation of the first chorus and second verse (according to a translator). A lot of peeps have questioned my line "I'm calling out the liars", considering the opening line doesn't actually mention any PEOPLE. However, what he's talking about is seeing past some sort of falsehood; a lie, so to speak. Not to mention, at any given point in time, the lyrics will start addressing several individuals that either laugh at the speaker or doubt his/they're determination. For this reason, I decided to keep the topic of "falsehood" within the first line, but also bring in the element of an "enemy" to make the rest of the song feel more directed at something or someone. The imagery of skies is also a key component of the song, but I chose to hold that element in my pocket for most of the song until the bridge where I brought several of them back into play. Namely, a "blue sky". I thought by grouping together that imagery and saving it to be revealed near the climax of the song, the impact would be increased. Even still, certain lines and phrases are exactly what they need to be, and I feel no need to change them. Especially, "we decorate our hearts". Japanese translations can get really really poetic and they are BEAUTIFUL, don't get me wrong. But if we're trying to create a narrative, something cohesive and easy to follow, then we have to be okay with letting some of that flowery language take a back seat. Anyways, thank y'all so much for sticking with me on my channel, and thank you VERY MUCH for watching my cover ♥ I'll see y'all next week :) - Caleb

[@tannerwright569]

Your cool the direct translation is always shorter and doesn't always make sense the awesome thing about your channel is it's yours you can make it go any way you want we're just here for support and suggestions

[@RisingSunReviews]

Hey Caleb, thanks for posting this. I personally am glad that you do the full English version here because I enjoy the English version more with it in my language. Keep doing whatever you feel like, but just know you have some fans who enjoy this too. It's neat hearing your thoughts on the translations too. Personally I love the line about liars and it makes the whole song an anthem against those that would hold us back, and it really embodies the idealism that makes me love Boku No Hero. And I have to say this is my favorite cover you've ever done. I'm probably going to listen to this song a dozen times by the time the day is done.

[@axolatols16]

Caleb Hyles Caleb you are so right

[@zenoyt1655]

Sonic the hedgehog jeux vidéo his world svp

[@anthonystewart8976]

Caleb Hyles I appreciate your choice in translation... at least if you run it while watching the op it syncs you know. .. especially "calling out the liars". You can definitely see stain in your heart at that point. ..

[@Jskid666]

"But even as our adolescence fades away, we can still retain our wonder, we can still be amazed by the goodness of others."

[@Storm_Guardian]

Jskid666 YES! I got goosebumps at that part

[@norbertolopez53]

Jskid666 what part is that

[@princessthyemis]

Is that a quote from the show?? IT'S AWESOME!

[@clairecorin5684]

princessthyemis Nope. It's a line in the bridge of the song that starts at 2:35

[@Koma7Wolf]

Venom Snake how so?

[@harveysalfucial2274]

"I'm calling out the liars! All the fools that cloud my conscience!" Now that my brother is a confidence boost overload.

[@Alcapwn4]

his voice fits the original singer of this song so well its amazing its like I'm listening the the english version of the original singer

[@CalebHyles]

The OG singer's voice is sooooooo strange XD but in a great way! I wanted to keep that tone, but make it a little less.....weird?? I personally love his sound, but I know it off-put a whole bunch of people.

[@Sexynhomeless0092]

He needs to dress up like Deku

[@Schweelie]

@@Sexynhomeless0092 that's gay

[@justafoolonline2737]

No not that part

[@midnightmoon3661]

*EAT THIS!*

[@juusorauma3761]

This just came up in my Spotify suggestions list out of the blue, and I started crying immediately. I've never heard the original, and I don't think I want to now. The words hit my heart. Thank you for making this.

[@KuroHetametal]

This is probably my favorite song ever.

[@izzyb.5999]

The one thing I needed in my life is here

[@raijin922]

I knew it!!!! thank you Caleb! I was wondering who would do it first, you or Jonathan, seems he was preoccupied with his own cover of Peace Sign. Keep up the amazing work guys!

[@raijin922]

EDIT: And Jonathon delivers barely a week after my comment xD. Two great covers....now all we need is caleb to cover ''the day'' :O

[@neonsilver1936]

I was POSITIVE that the lyric was "With All Might, We take flight!" until I read the description (I definitely hear the "r" sound now). Either way, great iteration! I've probably listened to this version once a day for a week straight, no exaggeration.

[@Esre_Vinu]

This is pretty amazing! I want to hear more

[@BoonCake-91]

This is too good, I'm well impressed.

[@thedemons064]

I really like your all English stuff! Would love to see more!

[@bdletoast09]

I'm a big "Stay to the original OP !" kind of guy but if the dub OP was Caleb version, I would totally be okay with that

[@k.lee0723]

[@maikoymokspg163]

I like this!... But I need a full version of Peace sign srsly

[@sesarolvera5729]

You have gone PLUS ULTRAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!

[@kingchickenwing4887]

Great job Caleb! But one critique I have is that at 1:04, you say, "We decorate our hearts, they're fragile, torn apart." While rhyming is good, it could be sacrificed to better fit the meaning of the song. The original song talked about how he decorated his heart with his humiliation, referencing how Izuku chooses the name "Deku", as it is a HUMILIATING name, but it was chosen by Ochacho, his friend, who means a lot to him in his HEART. So, I think that it would have been better if the line was "We decorate our hearts, with humiliation." It would have the same beat as the line you have and would sound just as good if not better, as well as give more meaning to the song. Anyway, the song is still amazing, nonetheless! God bless and I hope you have a great life! Oh, and I recommend that you do the song, "YouSeeBIGGIRL" from Attack on Titan. It may have a stupid name, but the song is amazing, and it would fit your voice perfectly. Also, it is very popular, so I think that it would bring you a lot of views.

[@isabelaweber8246]

I love BNHA, I love this song, I love your cover, I love you

[@MoonSpiritChannel]
