comparison of Bandori and PJSK cover songs (pt. 2)

[@__-cm2qo]

I guess the main difference is that Bandori tries to play stronger and more powerful voices, and in project sekai they just sing with their feelings, everything feels more calmy, like in a SEKAI

[@akfc.6978]

Also, the background music in Bandori is almost always recreated, usually with rock instrumentals (except in Pastel*Palettes, Hello, Happy World!, occasionally Poppin’ Party, and sometimes Morfonica’s covers). Although in a few cases, the instrumental of the Bandori cover sounds very similar to the original

[@Starlynn17]

Bandori mostly powerful in their instrumentals. They make and use their own unique style of composing the songs of each bands. As for Project Sekai. Most of them sang together, it creates this calming voice that i can't even explain

[@vampriro]

Yeah, since its bands in bandori i guess it makes sense but i think bandoris also have a lot of feelings put into it... (ik that maybe you didnt mean it didnt but qnyways)

[@jewlaszK]

Literally no, the only “powerful voices” in bandori are aiai, raychell and ayane. Btw Tomori’s va has more emotions in her voice than any pjsk character

[@v1tnimins]

@@vamprirocompletely agree

[@iamyourmagician]

my take on the main "difference" is that bandori is the type of music that would SLAP to be heard live, like at an actual show where they're playing their instruments. i think sekai's on the other hand is more "studio" music, with refinement rather than rawness. both are good! (on top of that i think it's why bandori girls have more energetic + louder voices, it's actually super hard to sing soft when you're tired! it's much easier to sing loudly)

Bandori is definitely more unique in the sense that they aren't just vocal covers, but they remake the whole arrangement to a rock group to fit them, and I'd say most of them work better, I like the Deepsea Girl cover more, as well as God-ish and Alien Alien etc. But sometimes the Pjsk cover is just better like in Telecaster B boy or Dreamin Chu Chu, mainly because the vocal fits more

THE LEGEND IS BACK AFTER A YEAR OMG

[@rtmushroom9454]

As someone who listens to Bandori and pjsk music on the daily, here are my two cents: The direction in song arrangement between the two games are apparent when you think about what both games market. Covers in Bandori is arguably why the series was able to take off. It cemented the whole ‘VAs playing in a live band’ the project had going. It’s also a way to showcase a bands particular sound which is something I really like about Bandori. And a bit off-base, but this is why I like to pay more attention to a song’s instrumental and not just the vocals. While occasionally pjsk will also change a songs arrangements, covers tend to remain faithful to the original in both instrumental and vocal direction to cater towards vocaloid fans and vocaloid’s rich history. Vocaloid is built off of the community and the creativity of its producers, and pjsk (at least the way I see it along with project DIVA & MIRAI) is a celebration of Vocaloid and its cultural impact.
 These different directions have their ups and downs. Bandori covers can enhance the sound of the original song with a band’s unique sound, if not at least a refreshing new sound to the formula. Covers can be hit or miss because perhaps the vocalist or their voice direction doesn’t quite fit or mesh well with the song. Same goes for instrumentation. It’s experimental and there’s bound to be some duds where the delivery didn’t quite land the way people want to. The band formula too may not be to everyone’s liking, with most covers being predominantly sung by the band’s lead vocalist. Pjsk covers having more vocalists allows for impressive vocal harmonies when done right as it can give songs more power. The fact that pjsk has male singers is something they have over bandori, having a better variety of vocalists in their songs. Sometimes, however, I feel the vocalists are held back by the limits of the original song, such that they don’t come out as powerful due to how the original song was tuned compared to what they’re musically capable of. Regardless, when it comes to whether you’d listen to one cover over another is personal preference, nothing to think too hard about. And for any reason too. I don’t like Afterglow’s cover of ‘Hated by life itself’ because of how much of a departure it is to the orignal song, but I *love* their ‘Night Sky Patrol’ for the same reason. I think I’ve rambled on enough so it’s about time I got to my comparisons of the Bandori & pjsk covers. I do wanna preface, I’m more biased to Bandori as that’s I game a started with back in 2019 (I also listen to a lot of Guilty Gear so I’m a bit of a J-rockhead). I’m hoping I can give a fair explanation for all these entries. - 1. Children Record: Despite what I’ve just prefaced, I want to give this song to *Vivid Bad Squad* . The song itself is already amazing (J-rockhead) and all of vbs are incredible vocalists. Afterglow’s cover is quite interesting, I really like Ran’s falsettos, but I much prefer the high energy from vbs’ cover, especially when It comes to the chorus. 2. Ego Rock: Both covers are quite fun but this one goes to *Wonderlands x Showtime* . I love the line distribution between the wxs cast, and I’m more of a fan of pjsk’s instrumental to hhw’s. 3. Hibana - Reloaded -: I’ve got a bias for this, but it’s not towards Roselia. This song is what made me really appreciate Ichika (CV. Nogachi Ruriko) as a vocalist and the duet with Miku is phenomenal. This cover is what got me to listen to Leo/need more and they’re now my favourite unit. Credit where credit is due, Roselia’s cover is just as amazing. I love the addition of the strings in typical Roselia fashion, and Yukina’s (CV. Aiba Aina) performance is just as incredible. But I love this cover for Ichika so this song goes to *Leo/need* . 4. Villain: This one’s tough. On one hand, Afterglow’s rock rendition of this song slaps, and Ran’s vocals work unexpectedly well too. She really made it her own song. But on the other hand, MizuMafu’s vocals fit this song to a T, from both the songs instrumental and theming. Screw it, I’m gonna give it to *both* of them. 5: Melancholic: This is one is a very close tie but I think I’m gonna give it to *Poppin’Party* . There’s nothing wrong with MMJ’s cover, actually both covers sound quite similar, but I love how poppy and lively Kasumi’s (CV. Aimi) vocals are. Don’t know, maybe it’s first-heard basis. Feel free to argue with me on this one. 6. God-ish: I have not listened to this song beforehand, or at least not that much. Bro, that small snippet of *RAS’* cover blew me away. Bassline? Slaps. Synths? Electrifying. LAYER (CV. Raychell)? BEAUTIFUL! Now there’s a point to be made that the heavy rock and electronic sound goes against the integrity of PinocchioP’s arrangement. Fair. But BROOOOOOOOOOOOOO THIS COVER FUCKS. 7. Telecaster B-boy: So I just read the lyrics of this song for the first time, bro this song is pro-trans? Didn’t know surii was chill like that. Anyways, this song goes to *Wonderlands x Showtime* . Afterglow’s rock cover is definitely interesting but not my favourite performance from them. Plus, the song felt like it was made for five people with how wxs sung it. Those guys are naturals. 8. Kyoufuu All Back: This song is goofy and I don’t think one particularly out performs the other. *Both* win. 9. Dreamin Chuchu: Now I don’t know how to clearly explain this but hear me out. The thing with Pasupare (ft.Kanon)’s cover is that it gives me too much diabetes that it could kill me. *MMJ’s* cover is like just right with the diabetes. 10. Otome Dissection: Another song I haven’t listened to much, though I think I should. This one is also tough for the same reason as Villain. Yukina’s vocal game is on point but at the same time, MizuMafu. Both instrumentals are snazzy too. I think I’m gonna give it to *Roselia* because not only can Yukina hit those high notes like a boss, those fuck ass jazz strings during the chorus is reminding me of Persona 5. Brownie points, bass slapping also on point👌. 11. Non-breath oblige: Like with God-ish, I wasn’t really a fan of this song. Then *MyGo* happened. The slow rock beat, the distorted chords but most importantly the clean guitar counter-melody to Tomori’s vocals 😩. Takamatsu Tomori (CV: Youmiya Hina) when I get you. The sense of desperation I feel from her voice and those high notes were immaculate. 12. Kyu-kurarin: Despite what others say, I want to give this song to *Hello, Happy World!* . Yes, the song sounds too happy for what it’s about, but ‘I’ find it funnily ironic how energetic it is. Like I think this cover has unfortunately physically altered how I listen to this song. Thing is, I can’t find any faults with MMJ’s cover other than, idk, MEIKO singing too long but that’s just being unfair. 13. Bocca della Verità: Can someone tell what this song is about? Like, as someone who often falls to low self-esteem, hearing a song go ‘I hate you’ be putting me off because like man what did I even do 😭. As for the covers, I’m just gonna say *RAS* . Same situation with God-dish where LAYER’s vocals and the electronic metal arrangement blows this song out of the park. I know this sounds like I’m copping out but I do not have strong feelings for this song. 14. Yoidore Shirazu: This song is so right up *Vivid Bad Squad’s* alley it’s unfair. I want to give credit to Roselia’s cover as it’s quite a departure from their usual style. Like, I don’t usually hear such clean strumming from the guitar in Roselia songs. And hey, they nailed that cover. But you look me straight in the face that you’d rate vbs’s harmonies below that. Slayed, they have. That is all. 15. Bad Apple!!: This one’s interesting as both Roselia and Nightcord have unique takes on this monumental song. I can’t describe well other than do you like rock or edm with a sick ass piano… now that I’ve laid it out as that, I’m gonna give this to *Nightcord* . That piano is really good. 16. Tokyo Teddy Bear: Believe it or not, I’ve never listened to this before too and I think that’s a sin. Once again, this one’s tough because I’ve got no preference for this song. If I were to compare, what I like in Roselia’s cover over Leo/need is the instrumentation. I think the strings adds a lot to this piece, but not so much that I’d prefer Roselia’s over Leo/need. In the same vain, the line distribution in Leo/need’s cover creates a lot of interest to the song’s benefit over Yukina’s solo performance, but Yukina didn’t do a bad job either. Imma leave this up in the air and so *both* win because I’d be debating over myself for hours otherwise. 17. QUEEN: I’m with others on this that Colopale should’ve changed the key for EmuNene’s cover. I’m an Emu vocalist defender, my girl sounds beautiful, but imagine if colopale lowered the key like in Morfonica’s cover. It would’ve been perfect 👌. So in case you haven’t guessed, I’m giving this song to *Morfonica* . Not only does the lower key complement Mashiro’s (CV: Shindou Amane) voice, the violin counter-melody just ties everything together. Solid. So overall, Bandori: 7 PJSK: 7 Both: 3 Did not expect to end on a tie! Kind of poetic. Again, to you who read through this whole thing, feel free to argue against any of my points because I was admittedly slack with some of these songs. Both games have good songs and you can listen to whatever you want to so don’t let anyone who says otherwise deter you. Have a good rest of your day!

The thing I love about the bandori covers is that the music arrangements are put to where they try to match the song to that person singing it and bring a new spin to the original song. Not to mention that it’s just the va singing (and I know that sekai is based on the vocaloids so of course they’re gonna be in the song but you would think the tuning would be better in some of them). There’s a lot of covers that I love in sekai, but the tuning sometimes doesn’t fit with the va

As someone who adores both games, I honestly think it depends on which song is being covered and the direction. Bandori’s arrangements and intense vocal delivery lends itself so so so nicely to songs like God-ish and Queen. That being said, sometimes the direction falls flat like in Ego Rock, where it lowkey sounds like Kokoro was holding back her energy, and in Shoujorei which was too upbeat for the song and the vocals were kinda “shouty” and in your face. The same could be said about puroseka though. I adore the suave vocals in Yoidore Shirazu and the direction used for their Non-Breath Oblige cover where it sounds delicate and nostalgic, yet in covers like Queen Emu’s voice doesn’t really lend well to the song. Same thing in Melancholic and Tokyo Teddy Bear, where the mixing and tuning are kinda off plus the fact that Tokyo Teddy Bear lacks the intensity needed. TL;DR Idk it just depends on what the song needs and both of the games have different strong suits in terms of vocals, arrangements, and mixing and these strengths pop out depending on the song but I love both of these games they’re both super dear to me

Whenever, I come across these videos, I just get hit with nostalgia…. (Bandori player, 3 years?, before I lost my save and a year later SEKAI showed up) Now I want to re-download Bandori again and experience the best of both worlds! 😅

[@FloraAja_ywdh]

i'm a big fan of both bandori and proseka, so here's my opinion for each cover: children record - vbs, i like how their voices harmonize ego rock - wxs, just because it feels more fitting to have a group sing it instead hibana reloaded - love both but roselia absolutely clears, yukina's voice is so powerful villain - afterglow oml ran's voice is so fitting and the inst is godly melancholic - popipa, both are pretty similar but i like the bandori inst more god-ish - ras (no explanation needed) telecaster b-boy - very hard to choose but i think i slightly prefer afterglow kyoufuu all back - quite similar so both i guess dreamin chuchu - mmj, prefer the vocal variety instead of just cuteness overload otome kaibou - roselia. yukina's voice is too amazing non-breath oblige - mygo wow tomori's voice is breathtaking (pun intended) kyuukurarin - mmj, because i feel like their softer voices work a lot better for this song bocca della verità - ras the power in the vocals and the inst is crazy yoidore shirazu - roselia, not sure why but i just can't get myself to like the vbs cover bad apple - roselia tokyo teddy bear - can't pick so both queen - morfonica, the violin is a really nice touch and really makes the song so much nicer. mashiro's voice is a perfect fit too. tbh, i feel like emu's voice is a bit too high pitched here, so i don't like the pjsk cover that much so in summary, bandori: 11 proseka: 4 tie: 2 i think i just like band music a lot lmao. both bandori and proseka have their strong suits and excel in different ways

[@hoshinautau1206]

5:19 it’s really is one of their best cover

[@Akira-ck3dy]

Children's Record: VBS (they went so hard on the vocals WTF) Ego Rock: HHW Kokoro (this was so hard cause I love both covers so much and it's a 1v5 but I love the lower pitch so much I'm so sorry 😭) Hibana -Reloaded-: Roselia Yukina (the INSTRUMENTAL? THE ''na na na''? HJFJNVHFBHDB YUKINA ILYSM I also love Ichika's delivery on her cover too) Villain: Nightcord Mizuki and Mafuyu: (mizumafu and mizuena duos are so cracked also I love how Mafuyu subverted my expectations with the note on 1:54 it scratched my brain in a good way) Melancholic: Poppin'Party Kasumi: (lovee how expressive Aimi's voice is and the arrangement) God-ish: RAS LAYER and CHU2: (love the upbeat arrangement and LAYER's highnotes stratch my brain in a good way) Telecaster B-Boy: WxS (it's a 1v5 and I love the more chill vibe of WxS's cover) Kyoufuu All Back: WxS (love the harmonies and Nene and Emu so cute) Dreamin ChuChu: PastelPalettes (love their delivery and the arrangement) Otome Kaibou: Roselia Yukina (the arrangement actually had me gagged first listen and I LOVEE Yukina's delivery) Non-breath Oblige: Nightcord (I love the unique take from MyGO!!! and haven't heard much of their songs but I love her voice but I like the graceful approach from Nightcord and I love the instrumental it's so airy and gives everything an ethereal feel) Kyu-kurain: HHW Kokoro (I love the arrangement it's so colorful and full) Bocca Della Verita: Nightcord Mizuki and Mafuyu (plss this was actually so hard cause the arrangement for RAS's cover was so good WTF and I love how she plays around with her voice and her post-chorus part it scratches my brain but Mafuyu's delivery in this cover also scratches my brain it's so drastically different from her voice in other songs like Usseewa) Yoidore Shirazu: VBS (yukina ilysm but I also love this cover sm and TOYA AND KOHANE I SEE YOU GO OFFFF they popped off on this song sorry Yukina 😔😔) Bad Apple!!: Roselia Yukina (roselia bad apple cover will always be so iconic for me I just love the vibe and Yukina's voice is so graceful in this song but I love the Nightcord arrangement tho it was a nice surprise) Tokyo Teddy Bear: Roselia Yukina (I love the power she adds to the little high notes it has a punch to it) QUEEN: Morfonica Mashiro (plss I love the arrangement like THE VIOLIN?? omhcdbjvcbhdebvcehb also I love Mashiro's voice in this song she improved so much I love the little aggression in her delivery)

I just started playing bandori and i really like their covers. But prosekai also has amazing covers, so my picks were a mix of both.

I dont play bandori, but after this vid i might go insane about it...🤩

[@raraanangfd]

Any of these can be debated, but NOTHINGGGGG will beat Mygo's Non-breath oblige cover. Tomori's vocals needs to be injected in my viens.

THE LEGEND HAS CAME BACK

[@anhkieu9508]

I love bandori covers more, they have vocalists with different tones, styles and their arrangements is pretty good. It feels more lively

[@HercadosP]

I like how PJSK incorporates the vocaloids into the songs

[@NabilaRizqia-p3f]

I LOVE HOW TOMORI SING NON BREATH SOLO❤❤❤❤

[@ruinene-emukasa_real]

I LOVE the new Pjsk QUEEN cover but a Nene alt and MEIKO alt would be godly

[@kanyaanggrek6150]

non breath oblige my go is so good tho

[@heidihaver6046]

i like the bang dream more because it feels like they make the song unique to them rather than just copying it note for note

[@Dreamy29_7]

I guess in Bandori they must make more powerful voices since all the groups are "Bands", so they must try to make powerful voices that accompany the instruments, because being a band, they must give equal importance to the instruments as to the voices, unlike proseka where only Leo / Need is a band, from then on all the other groups only specialize in singing, so they only give priority to the characterization of each character An example would be "God-Ish", I really prefer the Sekai version a thousand times, when listening to it and being able to say "yes, this is a cover of God-ish", unlike the bandori version where although it still sounds good, it actually feels like a different song

[@cornetgirliee]

3:40 both are great i fear

Thanks for uploading after a year🎉🎉

[@KuikoInYourWalls]

WHAT COVER I PREFER AS A PJSK PLAYER AND SOMETIMES BANDORI PLAYER BCUZ YES!!! Children Record - Prsk ver Ego Rock - Prsk ver Hibana -Reloaded- - Bandori ver Villain - Prsk ver Melancholic - Bandori ver God-ish - Bandori ver (LOVE THIS SONG AAAA) Telecaster B-boy - Prsk ver Kyoufuu All Back - Bandori ver Dreamin Chuchu - Bandori ver Otome Kaibou - Bandori ver Non-breath oblige - Bandori ver Kyu-kurarin - Bandori ver Bocca della Verita - Bandori ver Yoidore Shirazu - Prsk ver Bad Apple!! - Prsk ver Tokyo Teddy Bear - Bandori ver QUEEN - Bandori ver

[@sitruzonline]

For the first song bandori used the reboot ver of it so thats another reason why it might sound very different

[@goldy496]

inserting my thoughts as well since I got into bandori back in global release on EN (I was a little late to proseka, only started late last year). Instrumentation in bandori is better than proseka, though that's by design since the intent is that bandori (specifically RAS, Roselia, Poppin Party, Morfonica) all have live concerts with instruments being played, whereas the focus on proseka seems to be vocals and harmonization. proseka also benefits from having male vocalists as well for more nuanced vocals. I am 100% biased for Roselia, but I will mention that Raychell (Vo. for RAS) is an absolute force of nature. The band that RAS is used to be the background instrumentation band for when pasupare/afterglow sing at concerts (since those groups, unlike Roselia/Poppin Party, don't play their own instruments) - they're the real deal, musicians first, seiyuu second. If you watch any of the clips of concerts for RAS, you'll understand - the amount of energy they bring to a performance is on a different level (and I'm a Roselia bias through and through) bandori definitely leans into more powerful vocals, though that is also a side effect of this showcase. Roselia, RAS, and Afterglow all lean heavy into strong punchy vocals - another comment here basically said bandori vocals were either all punchy and powerful, or cute. Appreciate both, no need to distinguish which one is "better" because in the end, music is pretty subjective.

[@Jstatadpole4]

bandori bocca della verita is so good what?

[@EMUKASASOREAL]

to be honest, pjsk covers are more my style but im sorry, RAS and SOME roselia covers clocked pjsk

[@IdolShientai]

Yes!! Roseila's vocals are way too good

[@sailormoonbestcantargue537]

after watching both parts bro they all cooked so much but the difference is that bandori voices are unique and the instrumentals are tuned a little to match their voice which isn’t kinda why i love it more. Like pjsk they all sing sooo well but bandori they make the song that isn’t theirs, theirs ykkk. which makes it so addictive. I love pjsk songs too bc they just sound like the original song which is also nice.

[@M1mithesilly]

I started playing bandori and prsk around the same time (bandori late 2022 prsk early 2021) and I have to say I prefer bandori versions! They’re covers are genuinely always so good. I think for me bandori puts more emotion. Both are incredible tho!!

[@mounemuii]

RAS version of God-ish is just GODLY damn

[@octoofthecosmos]

guys imagine the bandori instumental with the pjsk vocals (would that go good)

[@icedmilkshake7]

the instrumentals in bandori are so good 😭💗

[@mora_the_kora_]

i never played bandori but i think it’s nice :3 the difference with bandori and pjsk is that im guessing bandori makes their own replicate of the instrumental for the song they wanna cover while for pjsk they take the instrumental from the song they want to make a cover on. idk how to explain it.

[@v3nuskitty]

wxs ego rock has my heart ts so good

[@Banana_king_LEN]

i feel like bandori focuses more on vocals,sometimes their background over powers their voicewhile pjsk is alright its like balanced, overall both are good

[@yonaka_kyo]

what makes the covers from both games unique is that they follow a specific type of theme for their own game

[@veripritty5956]

I don't really like how prosekai keeps having the singers sing all at once. Like i get it's only usually in choruses, but the mixing sometimes sounds strange and it makes the song sound muddled.

[@rollinggirll]

yess this is my main issue with their songs....

[@reikunoreo]

As Bandori and Project sekai player, both games have their own weakness and greatness, for me I like bang dream because the instrumental they need to play, it what inspired me to like playing music, for Project sekai their voice is just so good, in the end both games is the best rhythm gacha game imo Edit: I also loves Tomori from MyGo!!!!! voice so much XD

[@Luna_0521]

30. 50/50 31. Pjsk 32. Pjsk (it was so hard to decide but Miku and Ichika sounds so good together here) 33. Pjsk (this song just fits too well with Mizuki) 34. Bandori 35. Bandori (she's way too good at singing bro... I love n25 a lot and still I had no choice but to choose bandori for this one) 36. Bandori 37. Pjsk (Kokoro sounds too cutesy and nasally for me) 38. Bandori 39. Pjsk (somehow I like how n25 makes this song calmy) 40. Bandori (her voice❤) 41. 50/50 (what's wrong with sega they tuned Meiko so badly!!) 42. Pjsk (Mizumafu is the best) 43. Pjsk (Vbs sounds so good together here) 44. Pjsk (the piano sounds so good is sekai version! N25 & Miku always works) 45. Pjsk (I am sorry Yukina but you sound too nasally here. Ichika sounds so good) 46. Bandori (They should have lowered one key for the sekai version... Emu is clearly struggling to sing the high notes and she sounds like she is screaming...)

[@Cuyite]

🤥

[@zekii2244]

I like Bandori's songs better because it still sounds a bit weird to hear Vocaloid voices with real voices. In the end it's a matter of personal taste.

[@Yokizeshi]

I prefer pjsk for most but Yukina akways slays and leaves no crumbs
