[@zanderkurtz7016]

This is ain't too shabby of an impression of English kiryu lmao. Great job!

[@femboyfacist]

Thanks. Didn't intentionally try to imitate him, but I guess it worked either way.

[@f_.-]

eh

[@kinghashbrown7998]

rgg really trolled us by making us think this song was wholesome

[@femboyfacist]

Never trust a song by its instrumental.

[@lambda-m1676]

REM put me off already lmao, who the fuck sings wholesome songs with "REM sleep" innit

FYI if u don't know there r a lot of japanese songs that r like this, so it really is just a normal thing with japanese people or people that listen to japanese songs that r, so it's not really a troll

[@kinghashbrown7998]

@@bagusprayogo7025 yes obviously it wasn't a troll I was just joking

[@Marc-rk3mi]

Wow I love this, it's the first and only Today Is a Diamond cover that cover the Full Spec edition, nice job.

[@femboyfacist]

I need to do more vocal covers. I miss doing them.

[@Hell_O7]

Looking forward

[@finnzahd]

Beautiful singing. Like I heard from my brother before me.

[@mr.quarter8085]

Beautiful singing! 10/10, the only thing it needed was "bogus binted."

[@femboyfacist]

bogo sorted?

[@Jacermoro]

WOOO. nice cover my dude!

[@tienatnguyen5882]

This definitely deserve more views.

[@Leafyzada]

Amazing cover!

[@LegendarySuperSaiyanFennekin]

SUGOI DEEEEEEESU! :O This is awesome, Bro! Way to go! Epic to see a full English cover of Today is a Diamond! :D

[@saucypizza]

The Lyrics in text format: Will you ever change? Have you given it a try? All you've done is play dead, breathing deeply during REM sleep each week I have had enough, why can't you stay awake for once? While the fervent sunshine has been blocked by a large curtain of gray storm clouds You have slept so long, maybe we can swim tomorrow Instead of being with me, you've left to float far away upon the sea inside your head Let's go frolic like we're young again Rent a boat, then take a cruise somewhere Then we'll stare into the sunset forever, we'll spend the calmest weekend day Together, we can sparkle like a great diamond I beg you please, get up my baby! Even if I tell myself, "Time is money!" It never waits for anybody Please... just... wake... up... open your eyes! (I am fed up, please awaken, honey I'm on my knees now, please just wake up baby You'll never get up You can really snooze away, all day, it's gone away...) It's been so long since you've even spoke my name And if you care enough, reminisce with me While we sit down by the seaside... Watch the stars flicker, as the moon crests the sky Let's go frolic like we're young again Rent a boat, then take a cruise somewhere Then we'll stare into the sunset forever, together share our passion Let's go flirt like time has never passed Set the mood watching a tailwind On that day, we had given it our all, let's cite our devotion again When you wake, life will sparkle like a great diamond I beg you please, get up my baby! (I am fed up, please awaken, honey I'm on my knees now, please just wake up baby You'll never get up, are my efforts wasted? Maybe I should join you soon...) Better late than never, right? Read somewhere in the comments asking for the lyrics in this format. Such an underrated song, thank you for covering this!

[@aries3690]

Great cover! Thank you so much for covering the whole song

[@femboyfacist]

It's what I'm here for.

[@Cytro938]

Didn't know the song would be so sad

[@2ndedition827]

Dman this be pretty good

[@bevillesokahluwalia875]

rgg studio should’ve gotten YOU to be the english v.a for kiryu.

[@femboyfacist]

I'd take that VA job in a heartbeat, but Darryl Kurylo does a fine enough job as it is.

[@bevillesokahluwalia875]

@@femboyfacist true, Darryl Kurylo did good. but in my opinion, he sounds so tanky, typical hollywoody-like action hero. he doesn’t have that specific “calmness japanese feel, yet masculine” tone (did my best to describe it) that Takaya Kuroda is known for. YOU closely have that.

[@femboyfacist]

Need me to read you a bedtime story as Kiryu?

[@Blocyboi]

I thought this was a happy song...

[@dumbsow9420]

Returning to this again after listening to Youngs singing for the English Dub. I need this

[@opolvao]

oof very naisu

[@NotOnlyMagicMan]

I love you

[@femboyfacist]

Thanks?

[@seikopath]

@@femboyfacist lmao. You've got a nice voice though. Perfect for the song

[@infernoml5839]

Ngl, i like im a virgin version better. But this is very good too

[@roryisoki]

Honestly, better than the official English dub Kiryu's voice

[@dumbsow9420]

Better than Youngyea far far better. Would gladly hear these in the actual game along with the other songs

[@davinrort2nd]

insert completely random funny here.. should be mining for netherite

[@Vishwamdamor7109]

At 1:02 , in the background, it's like humming or something. I liked it, please tell me how you did it?

[@femboyfacist]

I added some of my own vocals to the chorus's original choir by harmonizing with them. I'm glad someone noticed them since I rarely get to use my falsetto properly.

[@Vishwamdamor7109]

@@femboyfacist Oh, ok. Will you make an instrumental version of this?

[@femboyfacist]

An instrumental already exists for the song on KZbin, but if you're asking for one with my added backing vocals, the files were lost a while ago.

[@Vishwamdamor7109]

@@femboyfacist Oh, but is it possible to get instrumental by editing or something?

[@frankuraku5622]

I need the lyrics. (I am cooking something)

[@lambda-m1676]

Damn your version makes the end worse. Holy fuck I can just imagine Kiryu thinking of Haruka in comatose, just thinking that. Utterly depressing

[@femboyfacist]

Yakuza is a wholesome game where you beat the shit out of people and play with pocket cars :)
