Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex - Inner Universe (FULL COVER) KY0UMI

I'm killing it with the uploads lately. Anyways, I've been watching Ghost in the Shell and finishing up 2nd GIG. Inner Universe grew on me A LOT as a song and Origa had such a beautiful voice, it's seriously on a whole different level. I decided to tackle this song and boy, was it a challenge. I had to put on my big boi opera pants. I really hope you guys like it, I poured so much into this cover and I hope it shows. Also, please note I don't speak Russian, so I apologize if I butchered it completely. I tried my best.
This was dedicated to someone. But I guess it doesn't really matter anymore.
(RIP Origa)

Being one of the few series I first watched as a kid, going back and rewatching the films and the anime series, I still get goosebumps listening to the openings. Hearing this brings back those goosebumps from watching this series.

[@ClockworkBard]

A truly enchanting song that's very difficult to do justice. It's ethereal synth balanced with rich vocals, and -- if others covers are any indication -- I imagine it's easier to err on the side of the former and still get something that sounds pretty good. I really appreciate that you didn't go that route and we get to enjoy what your voice brings to this piece. It swells with soul and makes for an absolutely beautiful finished performance.

[@KY0UMI]

Thank you for your kind words! I tried my best🙏🏻💖

[@Strannik01]

_. Also, please note I don't speak Russian, so I apologize if I butchered it completely. I tried my best._ Speaking as a Russian, out of all of the non-Russians I heard covering it, this came the closest to getting it right. It was a noble effort.

[@MikeTheAnimeRunnerX2]

Holy cow Kyoumi, this is drop dead amazing! It's so freaking good, you did an absolutely incredible job.

[@readingrainbowbutterfliesi9872]

I swear, there was one part where you sound EXACTLY like origa and now I'm about to cry.. You broke my heart. Well done.

[@xshelwynx]

What part lol

[@readingrainbowbutterfliesi9872]

@@xshelwynx it's such a small part. Lots of it sounded like Origa, but one part was the most precise. I can't pin point it, but it made me cry.

[@phobosturner2108]

Masterfully covered. I'm sure Origa would approve! Also, nice range btw! Brought me alot of nostalgia!

[@АндрейТерлецкий-ж5х]

In Origa's original words there is not a Бесконечный бег (an endless run) at tne second time, but Бесконечие (infinity like process, like phenomenon itself but another). There is no such word in russian. Russian language have a great ability to make new words, but not all of them could be usefull. Second Olga's endings of the russian words in song due to old sound recording abilities are not clear in real. If you are russian speaking person it make a multiple meanings in some parts of the lyrics and give a song an exta charm. Just like in the "С тобой остаться дольше" strophe. It could be heard as "Still with you (as) more (as possible)" and as "Still myself (as) more (as possible)" Anymore, there is sense of Infinitying in mind, but no one talking in such way. That's why creator of the first song's subs are just make a mistake. The others repeat it once more and more again.

[@batler12]

best cover of this song

[@natsu4life]

Kyoumi..... SHE'S ALIVE!!😭😭😭

[@Fyndy3aBp]

Beautiful! English parts almost indistinguishable from original and even though only few Russian parts were close to the original (in terms of sound and pronunciation), I don't think this is something bad. You gave those parts your own feel, they now sound kinda like a mix between German and Japanese. Definitely a great cover with a lot of soul put into it. Origa had really strong voice, so it would be hard to top it of. But nonetheless you gave it your all and it sounds really great! P.S. I hope everything is going to be ok.

[@TrackersOfficial]

Awesome, you nailed those high notes! One of those tracks that just gives shivers ♫ ♬❤

[@xshelwynx]

No way, no way those high notes in the original were insane, like voice ruining insane but this cover was good even if it's missing that last push.

[@Darth_Spyro]

Never watched ghost in the shell but this cover is great as always!

[@alexpaq502]

I love that song since the first time I saw the anime many years ago... and I would like to say you did a great job at singing it! 10/10 !!!! I don't speak Russian, but it sounded pretty close to the original, in my opinion!!!

[@redelle07]

Wow, this hit me hard. the timbre of ky0umi is an insane fit for this piece.

[@TBKitsune]

I love this song so much and you did a great cover!

[@pegususpheonix]

I love this. This was a good cover, you did a good job. This song is what first got me interested in the series and then the series itself got me hooked. They have such great music in the series.

[@minikitty3333]

I was hoping someone would do a recent cover for this song. Your voice is so lovely and fits perfectly!

[@MurasakiBBS]

Haven’t even watched Ghost in the Shell but these covers are still amazing

[@Pandachu123]

It's a really good anime. Definitely recommend it. I mean, when I was younger, I would throw off my sleep schedule just to watch it. 😂

[@Chris_MarMar]

Do yourself a favor and watch everything from the movies to the anime. It's all top notch stuff. I even have the ps1 video game to this day still lol. The Mangas are a different tone to the animations but are still highlyrecommended.

[@MeowMeow-pm2rt]

I swear to god, if you make me add one more song to my playlist, we're gonna have an issue, woman.

[@Torganth]

Alright so came into this video thinking shit shes taking on more than she can handle. Thank you for proving me wrong

[@xshelwynx]

Haha I came in thinking the same thing, she did a great job but those crazy voice ruining high notes are missing haha.

[@angcharmine7871]

Hair Raising! Bravissimo! 🎼🎶🎻

[@furretbell]

I still remember being 13? Young all I know and singing to this song. I didn't realize it was actually Russian but thank you. It was fun singing along to one of the songs that affected my childhood!

[@Serge884]

This is amazing though! I never knew I wanted this cover so bad.

[@Samurai_40K]

Wonderful cover. You have done very well, I tell you this as a person speaking Russian.

[@surmoe6446]

This is really good! I always love your work!

[@PirateSometimes]

didnt know that was russian, always thought it was gibberish like how Yoko Kanno I think makes up a language in some of her songs

[@pegususpheonix]

Dorohedoro i once looked this up and (though I forget from where) found out the lyrics are from a mix of languages, Russian being one of them.

[@Strannik01]

Whereas Russians like me heard it the first time and were like - "wait, is that Russian? Holy crap, it is! Awesome!"

[@bluelionfur7252]

Love it. Sounds as great as the original love both versions. Just wished it was fully translated

[@SwordGuy17]

Holy shit, this is amazing!!!

[@llenomu]

[@darkonge]

Как же отчётливо определяется неродная русская речь, всего лишь строчки хватает.

[@SteelDragon1986-i8k]

[@hamz5490]
