niigo & vbs songs are the kinds where the tone in the voice really matters. the vsingers monotone singing during high notes really doesn't compare to mafuyu's high notes during bug where you can feel her frustration, or an's powerful high notes in awake now during the prechorus building up to the drop in the chorus. it just doesn't hit the same sometimes

[@cawmellian3394]

i can agree with that, but on the other hand you have aishite aishite aishite which i find more impactful with kikuo's Miku- from how shrill and how powerful it is... the sekai ver doesn't feel like they're putting as much soul into it i guess? I might be biased because kikuo was my first exposure to vocaloid and probably my all time favourite artist too, so I was a little shocked that aishite aishite aishite made it to this list

@@satansmascara9756 I think your partly correct. with the right person any voicebank can sound good. but from what I've heard these NT vbs are super difficult to use and even when you do tune them good they still have that nasally tone that sounds terrible. I'm also sure mixing plays a big part in it, which FOR SOME reason some sekai covers aren't mixed that well. :'(

[@MushyRoom77]

I think my issue with many covers or commissioned songs is that in alot of them, either the virtual singers' tuning sounds awful/bland to me, or you cant even hear them at all over the human singers/they get singled out of the groups in a way that makes it sound awkard. idk if that makes sense? but like, they either need to start mixing them with the original vocals more often (like the album version of Bring it on, why isnt that version in the game!!!) or hire people with experience using the software. There are lots of people that exclusively tune VoiceSynths for other producers, rather then make music. Also better mixing. Please... (ofc lots of covers sound great so dont think I'm just being a purist lol. Alot of them absolutely Slay! Night patrol, Cinema, Charles, Children Record, any Eve song, many that havent come to EN yet, ect! Lots of great ones!)

[@everythingz888]

I agree it’s so sad when a good cover/commission is brought down by the poor tuning :(

[@kelleymcclure7531]

I get it! I have favorite covers for a number of the songs in this video, both in terms of "hey these ProSeka versions go hard" (Stella, Rad Dogs), and "oh! this human cover isnt the one in the game but I really like it" (96neko's Buriki no Dance, too many KINGs to count, including the arranges). And mixing... as someone who has tried making covers, mixing is suffering. Making sure everyone's balanced but also standing out enough, figuring out what needs to be added. And yeah, the VS tuning done in-house for some reason doesn't gel with me. Meiko had like 4 solo lines at the beginning of the Sekai version of Lower and those just. I don't know, they're not my thing. It's kind of difficult to listen to. Also the VS version of Peaky Peaky. Doesn't feel like MikitoP's tuning, and it also just. It feels like someone just slapped a related Append on and called it. I feel like with people knowledgeable in VoiceSynth tuning those versions could go way up in quality.

[@MushyRoom77]

@@kelleymcclure7531 I feel the same way about lower...I like the SEKAI version because the human singing is really beautiful but the lack of Meiko and her strange tuning (and the instrumentals), kinda bring it down for me.

[@EnderKnight11]

I agree with both of you here

[@Tomoeine]

Eve definitely writes his songs with his own voice in mind (not a bad thing because they're all jams and his voice SLAPS in all of them). But that means they don't all translate well to female singers or vocaloids. Case and point: Kaikai Kitan. Look up Eve's version and then Creuzer's Kiyoteru tuning. It's PHENOMENAL but aside from that, it just sounds more natural sung in the same range as Eve.

Human singers can just provide so much more emotion and sound more pleasant to me. I was never the biggest fan on vocaloid going into this game so when I had the choice of singers with real sounds rather than vocaloid, which can sound so weird, robotic, and uncanny, the choice was clear imo. Some are really good like anything by Mitchie M, and I like that the Sekai versions mix real singers with the vocaloids, but on their own they’re nowhere near as good imo

One of my favourite songs that is not in this list is 88☆彡, and is probably one of PJSekai's best commisioned songs imo. The way they mix the entire unit's vocals during the chorus plus Kaito's tuning just hits different and I'm in love with it. The only sad thing that it's way shorter and has no full version :'D

[@jaycy7024]

Oh, I actually love both VS and sekai versions of this song!! Marasy's tuning just hits right in the feels. As for the duration of the song, Marasy and kemu stated that they made it short in order to put the whole song in the game (without sega cropping it like every other song), so that fans could enjoy the full version while playing. Also it has something to do with number "88" (I heard, there's a certain amount of notes or smth like that (don't really remember the name of it) in the song, so yeah, it was necessary to make song short)

[@qef15]

My main problem with Project Sekai covers is that (as pointed out by somone else) the Virtual Singers are mixed next to none, making them feel like just human covers. Granted I come from the Vocaloid side of view, but some songs like The World Hasn't Even Started Yet, Miku is just nearly absent or extremly muted. I blame Crypton for this abscence as they are forcing Miku NT (Rin, Len, Luka, Kaito and Meiko also are NT, just prototype unreleased, but used in all Project Sekai covers) down our throats, and nearly every (large) producer still avoids Miku NT like the plague, V4 is very well alive. NT is decent nowadays (compared to the disaster at launch) but can't do any high tones from my observation, because Law Evading Rock, which is a high pitched Len done right, had to be toned lower to avoid things like Dramaturgy Miku NT (also for Project Sekai, listen to that and see why NT is garbage at higher notes). Sometimes the tone and pitch is different to the original, such as Tale of the Deep-Sea Lily, giving a different impression than the original producer intended. It's also extremly jarring to hear human vocals next to Vocaloids, only Mitchie M songs don't suffer from this really, because Miku is already nearly humanly tuned to begin with (why Tokugawa Cup Noodle Ban is actually good).

But I still like the vs ver even though I'm not a big fan of suri's tuning I guess for this song it just fits ? it 6:34 Jackpot sad girl As I said earlier syudou's unique tuning doesn't fit all his songs, this is a good example, niigo slaps this song with some real powerful vocals alongside calm ones in a really balanced way.......or maybe I'm just used to it because the vs ver wasn't available for the first time the song was added 6:43 Identity It's because of this song I said earlier that Kanade would do a great job covering KING, as for this, I prefer this over the vs ver, Kanade's voice is so textured? and pleasant, it's so calm and soft and soothing to my ears, I still like the vs ver tough, I keep switching between the versions depending on my mood (As for Miku' s tuning, it's better in the vs ver but it's good as well in the sekai ver) 6:49 Venom Again I keep switching between the versions depending on my mood.....I CAN'T CHOOSE ONE, the og is iconic, and the cover is AMAZING, like WTH Mizuki's voice is so unique and powerful all complemented with Ena's screaming like voice (in a good way of course) This cover is really unique I- AAAAAAAAAA 6:56 Ussewa AGAIN syudou's unique tuning doesn't fit all his songs, I don't think he would've make a Miku ver in the beginning if it wasn't for the game, obviously the cover is better, Mafuyu's soft voice fits the beginning of the song and OMG MIZUKI SLAYS IT WITH THEY'RE VOICE AND THE GROWL, I mean nothing can beat Ado's ver, but Sekai cover is good as well 7:06 Cutlery The Miku tuning in the og is pretty unique and compliment the uniqueness of the instrumentals, but for some reason I felt immediately for the cover it's so relaxing, Mafuyu and Kanade are a great duo for calm emotional songs and Miku add cute energy to the two girls, I JUST LIKE THIS COVER IT'S SO SOOTHING In conclusion I will never ever write about my opinion about Sekai and vs songs I just wrote AN ESSAY ABOUT FEW SONGS..... AND I HAVE MORE OPINIONS ABOUT EACH SONG IN THE GAME, ALSO SEKAI PLEASE CONSIDER MIXING ORIGINAL VS WITH YOUR COVERS YOU RARELY TUNE THEM JUSTICE ......no one will read this....

[@lionqueen145]

I think I will always be biased to support the covers version of prosekai because I'm invested in the characters. I know them, I know their story and motivation. If the vocaloid have their own versions of the same songs in prosekai I would support them too more than the OG becouse this vocaloid are character, people who are helping this kids. They have their own personality too. That's why when there's a comparison between these covers and Bandori's, I always feel sad to see how not many vote for them when I love the songs. But I understand, because you are loyal to what's familiar to you. I knew vocaloid but I don't know everysong and the only one that I have listened and remember more is Magnet so for me is like I'm listening to the songs for the first time. And if I get use to this human voices and this particular characters singing it this is the version I'm going to prefer.

[@jaycy7024]

Same!!! Sometimes I may not like the voice or how VAs sing certain lines, but I'm so invested in each character that I just can't bring myself to completely hating the sekai covers.

[@mika_ce]

i loved the shinonome salamander cover it was almost as if that song was made to have harmonies

[@Blue-Code]

Yeah this is why I like Bandori and Project Sekai. Thier covers sometimes can be better than the original, an example is Chrarles in Bandori and Alter Ego in Project Sekai. It also allows those who don't like robotic voices to listen the song.

agree with most of these but i definitely like the flower vers of goodbye sengen and bocca della verita maybe its bc i really love vflower but i also feel like vflower makes it sound more raw and powerful than when actual people sing it syudou songs are super good but the vocaloids are always so high pitched in his songs it kind of ruins the vibe

[@mililac]

I agree SO much with Bocca Della Verita. It’s a hard song to cover I think, cuz Flower’s voice is so raw in this song that truly fits in with the whole “I hate you”. This stands out a bit more closer to the beginning where you can truly hear the hatred in her voice and omg it’s so good. N25 sings well but I think the cover for this one was too smooth(??) personally.

Great list, I think the Sekai VAs get a lot of undeserved criticism considering how amazing some covers are!

In all honesty both side Sekai and Vocaloid are all Amazing and Good on there own way Which lead to my opinion no one is Superior or rather both side is same level to me. After all Comparing Both side is Almost no actually literally like Comparing the Original(Including The Hardwork of that producer add to it There isn't ANY Back up vocals for the Producer to Based on other than there imagination and taste of how they wanted them to sound like.) While to Sekai there is.(Vocaloid Ver) so yeah. Also Since when Useewa a vocaloid song??? Im sure its Ado Original song which they uses there own voice not vocaloid. And Not Syudou.

[@jaycy7024]

I agree with you, but also not really,, I understand the hard work of producers, but sometimes their tuning is so bad that you just can't listen to the song itself. As for "Usseewa" I compared in-game VS version tuned by sega themselves so yeah. If I were to compare to Ado, then yeah, Ado'd win
