【歌ってみた】Machine Gun Kiss【Yakuza / Gregorio Franco Guitar Cover】

"tried" being the operative term (now with 200% anime girl drawing)
THANK YOU again and again for all of the continued support for the Yakuza and Judgment covers!!! Of course nobody does it like Kiryu, but I have a special place in my heart for everyone's favorite Solid Snake-sounding, karaoke-gargling Peepaw ...
HUGE thanks and shoutout to Gregorio Franco for letting me use his sick guitar cover for karaoke ... go check out his other covers and original songs!! He has an equally metal Friday Night cover 10/10

English Lyrics from Yakuza: Like a Dragon! :D
In other news, I'm cleaning up the channel a bit and relabeling a few items to better reflect the tone I want to set with my stuff ... I'm very happy people are enjoying the music, but I also want to keep things fun and casual no matter what! Please keep in mind that everything I do is totally fan-made, amateur work that I do mostly on my own! I would love to collaborate if ever you're interested, but generally the stuff I post here is just to have fun and not necessarily aiming for professionalism. ;)
Thanks as always for listening and/or reading!

I honestly thought this cover wasn't that good cause I tend to avoid English covers of yakuza songs but then after I listened to whole cover all I can say is I'm glad that I listened to the whole thing you Rock. Also your voice is amazing.

[@secondarchive]

Thank you very much!! I know dubbed stuff can be really hit or miss but I thought they did a really good job of making the karaoke stuff work in Y7:LAD ... so I went half and half on the English/Japanese. 😅

[@azzam8906]

@@secondarchive And it worked amazingly, I really love the cover and keep up the great work.

[@StarHorder]

second archives covers hit different, for sure.

[@ZenoPopo]

My favourite part is when the chibi anime girl is replaced by more realistic one. This is where your vocal is synchronized with one of the guitars, and this is something I generally enjoy in songs. I like your attempt to sing in Japanese. I wonder how well you managed to pronounce all these words. Editing is great as always, but I'd suggest using some dynamic zoom ins and outs that are synchronized with the drum beats sometimes. That would make your singing seem even more powerful! Btw, I bought guilty gear strive and I totally love playing as Zato! His playstyle is something I've been looking for ever since I played as Mariah in jojo.

[@ZenoPopo]

Also, I'd like to praise the thumbnail of this video. It catches your eye and looks very nice, with all these additional effects. A great improvement!

[@secondarchive]

Thank you as always for your support and comments!! I am always trying to improve, but I confess the learning curve gets a little steep trying to learn art, recording, and editing all at once 😅 I am always grateful for the suggestions, though! And nice!!! Zato seems really cool - he's way too complicated for me to learn, but I've heard he's a high risk-reward kind of character. Mariah REALLY takes me back; I haven't played a JoJo fighting game since ASB!

[@fedelom.a.5690]

Insane how I went "I wonder if there's any female covers of MachineGun Kiss" and then finding this work of art 🎉

[@zeovaldoadzka3269]

This is Haruka when she is 35 years old and sing this song. Nice video 👍

[@wilsonso5784]

Machine gun kiss being one of the only songs I can actually sing. Good job on this one!

[@secondarchive]

And it is a GREAT choice of song! Nothing against Baka Mitai, but we love a good mic spin just as much. ;) Thank you!

[@wilsonso5784]

@@secondarchive Exactly. I think Baka Mitai is just a lil' bit harder.

[@xX_Thaddeus_Xx]

That 'I've got a full clip of love for you' line is *so* good. Props to whoever did the translation/localization you used here, be it you or someone else.

[@secondarchive]

It's from the Like a Dragon English dub! They did a great job on all the karaoke lyrics 🫶🏻

[@spyrax370]

This may be the best rendition of this song I have ever heard, I can't even- 😭

Thank you, but I'd never DREAM of taking that honor from Adac-- I MEAN, KIRYU

YOU'RE KILLING IT

[@adamfirstman838]

I came back here after playing the Karaoke MachineGunKiss in LaD Infinite wealth, BUT HOTDANG THIS ONE IS EPIIICCC

[@toxicholygrenadethg9906]

This song is so fucking emotional and kickass, and your voice is so angelic to make the listener feel like a godly badass! 🤘😎🤘 I would love to see a Djent Metal version of this at a certain future point in the style of what Trepang2 has, which also consists of Djent Metal based tracks. Djent Metal is basically an offshoot of Industrial Metal. If you had played through Trepang2, the music in it is so epic and phenomenal. Take Brandon's word for it. 😉👍

[@secondarchive]

thank you for teaching me all of these new words at once! i've heard djent before but i never knew it had a specific name. that being said, i borrowed my instrumental from gregorio franco so you might have to to follow him to see if he does anything in that vein! or maybe little v?

I was searching for english cover of Yakuza 7 theme, found your video and watched everything so far - liked it and looking forward for more covers :D

[@pattyviggers3581]

Everybody gangster, until you realize you sing this to your fiance and you live in Canada and are just like 5 kisses.

[@MrCoolTroll]

Get goosebumps listening to this! I'm gonna break some gym PRs with this

[@GregorioFranco]

Awesome work. Thanks for making this cover even better with your vocals.

[@secondarchive]

Thanks so much man!! Your instrumental covers are AMAZING and I hope more people will check them out too!! :D

[@cleverman383]

YOU'RE KILLIN IT!

[@grardo]

All I have to ask is... how is it possible you don't have more subscribers? This is one of the best Yakuza covers I've listened

[@secondarchive]

Thank you; that's very kind! I can't take all the credit of course; the artist who did the instrumental provided an AMAZING starting point. ;)

[@grardo]

@@secondarchive Of course, the team is important. Everything about the cover was amazing, the art, the instrumental, your voice. The editing was good too

[@askagain6531]

Amazing job! I was really impressed with your cover of arpegio {I know I butchered it} and really enjoyed this! A suggestion- If you ever decide to cover it again, a full translation by LiterallySatan exists. And it honestly sounds better than the official translation.

This song reminds me of a girl i was in love with and i will never be able to see her again

[@SourTb]

I feel like the lead guitar that carries the iconic melody should be a little higher in volume since I can barely hear it, butt that's as far as I can go with criticism. The rest is some pretty good stuff! Kinda wished you adapted the rest of the song into English but having it in Japanese is no where near something actually bad.

[@secondarchive]

About that - the original artist generously allowed me to borrow his instrumentals for this cover, which meant I wasn't able to manipulate or isolate individual tracks (and wouldn't want to anyways, out of respect!) With the vocals carrying the same melody, I didn't want the rest of the song to get drowned out either ... if you're interested in hearing the lead guitar in its full glory, I'd highly recommend the original I linked in the description! Regarding an English dub ... since only the first half of the song exists as an official dub that was as far as I felt appropriate to go on this cover. There are some things that just sound best in their native language! Maybe someday I will write English lyrics for the second half, for fun. :) Thank you for the suggestions, though!
