Gekkou: 8. It's another song where I feel like I should be giving it a higher score than I am. It does everything well and hits all the right notes; her voice is great, she performs it better than the original singer, the lyrics are basically what I was looking for--"Time merely sharpens the pain", says one fan translation of the lyrics which... okay, not honestly my favorite lyric, but it's at least in the genre of lyrics I wanted--but I still don't want to go higher than an 8 right now. I do not have an explanation or guess as to why.



Kono sekai o aishitai (both versions you linked, and also Hua Chenyu's original version): 8.976.

(This part was written before I noticed you linked the second cover yourself)

Odd score, but it feels right. I was going to say "somewhere between 8 and 9", but that didn't feel right... the standard 8.9 also felt wrong.

Trying to find lyrics to the song led me to another cover, which... is basically the same in quality as my ears are concerned?

(The second cover would be linked here, were it not already linked by you above.)

Kano has a better illustration, Hareru has a translation attached to the video, and both singers are pretty much tied.

And the original singer:

Is...also quite good? It has a better translation of the lyrics (which I suppose is to be expected. Chinese to English is more direct than Chinese to Japanese to English) and I'd love to do a more in-depth look at the differences between them, but it's past 1 AM and I'd have to copy the translations by hand... and it'd be tough on the phone. Switching to the video, pause, switch to Notepad, type up the lyric, switch to the second video, pause, switch to notepad, type up the alternative version of the lyric...

It would be quite interesting, but I think it's a bit too much effort for right now.

I think I'd give Hua the slight edge, let's actually give his version the full 9 points. I think he packs more emotion into the song and it stands out a bit more.

The girls stand tied at the previously mentioned odd score of 8.976; I've been here a while now and I'm no closer to placing either of them above the other.



Is late, will return to other songs tomorrow. I usually like to try to take a break after giving a song a 9 or higher anyway, since whatever song is stuck following it usually doesn't compare favorably, so coming back after a rest can't hurt anything.
