Megaman 8 - Electrical Communication with lyrics and translation

This is the full theme of the japanese opening of Magaman 8 with the lyrics and the translation, named Electrical Comunication from the band Ganasia.
Hope you like it! :D

[@LightningCayo]

For Mega Man’s 10th anniversary, Capcom really went all out with MM8. The anime cutscenes have so much heart put into them, even if the English dub is hilariously bad.

There actually are couple of Megaman OVA;s. Megaman wishing upon a star which is heavily based on MM5 robots.

[@-S-zo1dv]

[@YoshifreakZX]

Mega Man 8 is by far the most overhated game in the entire Mega Man franchise. Never understood how people would think this game is flat out bad. It's a perfectly fine and decent game. Plus we got this song out of it, so come on.

[@MacUser2-il2cx]

It's better on Saturn, but not by much. I think X4 is overrated too but it does have cool anime cutscenes. The gameplay in MMX4 and MM8 is too clunky for me.

This song is both awesome and heartbreaking, because a part of me cannot accept that this ISN'T the opening of a 50+ episode 90's Mega Man anime covering all the games up to this one with a cheesy but sincere dub that's now a beloved classic due to heavy rotation on Toonami. My longing to pull media from alternate timelines only grows...

+Brandon Smith Because if they do that, American Capcom also need to make the translation to MMX4 theme, and you know, many japanese bands DONT WANT his themes been dubbed. I dont know about Gaenesia, but the singer from MMX4 theme never sells the rights of her song to the American Capcom, maybe the MM8 song is the same case.
