Rap God Korone Sings the PokeRap (JP Version) [Hololive]

[@Zekegedd]

I remember when she sang Haruka Kanata from Naruto. Another good one.

[@nickotama697]

It is either nostalgic anime op or really old japanese pop lol

[@nickotama697]

@@groerhahn225 hmmm there are similarities but even tough gura sing city pop song, korone song choice is older but if you ask who is in HoloJP that is similar to Gura in term of stream atmosphere i will answer Pekora or Fubuki. Korone is similar to Ame I think.

[@wchan39]

The only thing that can top this is if Korone tries singing the English PokeRap.

Gyaroppu! I mean, the English name isn't any better. Rapid dashing is just another way of saying gallop lol

[@BlissBatch]

@@MisterDutch93 But it's at least kind of a portmanteau. "Gyaroppu" is just a single word, and not even that foreign of a word, given that it's from the single most well-spoken language in Japan after Japanese.

[@KatlikeRider]

I'm still surprised that there was a JP pokerap. I always just assumed it was a 4kids dub thing...

[@kingatticus5371]

Right?! I was thinking the same thing. Based on the chat it looks like it might be a similar nostalgic thing

[@wchan39]

As much as we make fun of 4Kids editing stuff out, it's surprising how much they kept in Pokemon from the Japanese version.

[@s.m.4995]

The rapping part is a 4kids creation, can you name the pokemon is just a Japanese kids song

[@lenleon3699]

@@s.m.4995 Technically they just took the rap bit from midway through the song and made the whole song a rap.

Okay that's it. That's the most adorable video on here

[@SirStrikeFreedom]

JP pokerap is pretty tame compared to the 4Kids version. Surprising that 4Kids did something right

At least 4Kids can be counted on to make catchy songs for their dubs.

@@velvetbutterfly please, tell me, where exactly in my comment do you read "i think the english production budget was higher than the japanese"? I appreciate the work put into the english rap more than I was appreciating the english rap before I heard how different it is from the Japanese. Did I commit a crime, that I don't know about, by writing this comment and that's why you're trying to find something wrong with it, and when there's nothing else, making it seem like I'm dissing the Japanese version of Pokemon, when I don't?

[@velvetbutterfly]

Kira Night VT saying "went all out" typically means they spent a large budget when you're talking about official productions, be it games, films, music, or almost anything you can think of. You then specified you meant the production difference
