MAFUYU’S DUB VA Covers Yoru Ga Akeru (from the Given Movie) | Brandon McInnis

Brandon McInnis's English cover of "Yoru Ga Akeru" from the Given movie!
★★DOWNLOAD/STREAM★★ ffm.to/yorugaakeru.oyd (Spotify, iTunes, AmazonMP3)
I can't believe we FINALLY have a dub for Given!!! When I released my covers a year and a half ago, I genuinely thought we would never get a dub. It seemed too niche. Too important to only a specific community I'm proud to be part of. On my videos I received message after message expressing how much y'all hoped that I would be Mafuyu one day. Honestly, I just wanted the chance to audition for the show and would have been happy to be part of it in any way.
So imagine my surprise when I started recording on it as Mafuyu earlier this year! Even now, I keep asking myself, "Is this real? Did this actually happen? Is there REALLY a dub?!?!"
Thank you all so much for your support and your kindness. After watching the movie, I felt like this song represented Mafuyu having actually processed his past with Yuki to some level, enough to start writing lyrics about the people around him. About the rocky relationship between Akihiko and Ugetsu, and how our closeness with people can shift in so many different ways as time passes, as the seasons change.
I hope you enjoy my adaptation of Yoru Ga Akeru. Just like Mafuyu, I think it's important that, even when things seem bleak, we always keep in mind no matter how dark the night, the dawn always breaks.

I'm so happy you got to voice Mafuyu in the dub! You were so good at capturing Mafuyu's character, I went through the rollercoaster of emotions all over again. Amazing work as usual, to you and everyone else in the cast!

[@fenixsoul3102]

My dumbass didn't know this and thought, "damn he sounds like mafuyu" 😭

[@tetsuyatsurugi9250]

Is this even a cover? It is a version Outrageous how they didn’t let you sing in the dub

[@NoPersona]

Yeah, I thought the dub Mafuyu would be horrible. I was absolutely wrong. This friggin rocks! They picked the PERFECT person!

[@kounoroi]

Its a crime to be robbed off of this. My gosh.

[@user-hs9dc5rd6s]

Every time Mafuyu sings I’m bawling uncontrollably 😭

[@geordinfrederick2699]

This anime made me cry😂

[@user-qx2lb4xt7p]

Me too😢

[@hedgehogsunleashed5825]

“When spring comes then we bloom, when fall comes then we wither” I see what you did there putting Akihiko’s figure with Haruki in the first phrase then following up to Akihiko with Ugetsu’s in the second. Pure genius!😭

[@maryammunawara301]

Then ugetsu's figure disappeares🥲

[@Jynx.And.Astraea]

This is 100% my favorite song from Given. Not only did your cover sound incredible, the lyric video looks amazing too!

[@branmci]

Thanks! Jonathan killed it on the vid!

I think what’s so beautiful about this song and the first one Mafuyu writes is that you can see his journey to figuring out how to survive and cope with the immeasurable loss he feels after Yuki’s tragic and untimely death. And it’s beautiful to see him figure out how to find Hope again. As well as find a way to acknowledge that he will always love Yuki, but now it’s time for him to move on and live his life again. A journey I can’t even begin to imagine. The amount of pain.. ugh. It’s very beautifully written and I think very close to a real-life experience of coming to terms with loss.

[@AtsumuMiya123]

All it's missing is Jonah Scott doing Akihiko's and J.Michael Tatums's doing Ugetsu's internal monologues during the song

Lyrics: Though I can't fall asleep The dawn will still break And I will stand and watch The day finally wake There's never been a change These walls remain the same The sun shows that they're blank But time keeps marching on And now all by myself I think I'm moving on Step by step away From the season I live with you by my side I wish I oculd drift off into the dark, the shadows But I know Though I can't fall asleep The dawn will still break And I will stand and watch The day finally wake And watch the things that change And watch the things that end And the things that now begin Even though you've left for good I know that I can live Even if I am down or devastated 'Cause soon the sun will rise 'Cause soon the dawn will break 'Cause soon the dawn will break When spring comes then we bloom When fall comes then we wither And even so as seasons flow We're growing up every day No it's not the end of a road you keep saying, rather It's just the start Though I can't fall asleep The dawn will still break And if you hold my hand In the end it's mine to take And even if I'm lost Even if I cry In the end my tears will dry Even though you've left for good I know that I can live but you know If you don't love me back I will still always want you 'Cause soon the sun will rise 'Cause soon the dawn will break 'Cause soon the dawn will break When nobody knows If a wish will come true That's when you start calling The wish you know A hope Though I can't fall asleep The dawn will still break If you hold my hand In the end it's yours I'll take And when the endless night Comes to a close That's when we know the light So though I am terrified I know that I can live And when the sun appears I'll take a step again 'Cause soon the sun will rise 'Cause soon the dawn will break And it'll be okay 'Cause soon the sun will rise Soon the sun is near Soon the dawn will break

Mafuyu is such a precious character, the anime Given helped heal so many wounds I had. You did an amazing job on the dub McInnis, great work!

[@im_boring2247]

Given is one of my favorite anime’s, and I have been researching a lot about voice actors, especially in popular anime’s like my hero academia and omg I can not express how shocked I was when I found out you also voice acted mafuyu, good job!

[@joannb2770]

Amazing! I usually cringe on most English dubbed anime songs especially if it doesn't flow but now I have to check out yours. Thank you Brandon this was truly beautiful to listen to.

[@gwstudios343]

Oh my god!!! This absolutely incredible! I’ve listen to the dub version of Given and you have portrayed Mafyu splendidly, you absolutely deserved that role 100%!Congratulations and I hope we get to hear you voice Mafyu again in the movie and the ova. (And hopefully season 2 once it’s been confirmed🤞🏻)

[@geordinfrederick2699]

Such a beautiful song still can’t stop listening to it 😂😢

@@tetsuyatsurugi9250 dude are u fucking fr? It might seem strange to you and trivial, but for others it's not, including me. I'm visually impaired in reading subtitles are closed captions for long periods of time causes migraines, which makes not having a dub infuriating for me.

I wonder why Crunchyroll didn't let you sing in the dub? Is singing no longer dubbed since the merger?
