but yet still somehow ARE the official english version

This is a weird situation that rarely comes up but it happens

Heres some examples, one of them popped up because I was brainstorming music for Sir Chris's FF music topic and I was really close to mentioning Real Emotion from FFX-2

The Japanese version is really good

but I distinctly remembered an English version

but the thing is, the English version of the song of the English Version of the game is not what I was thinking of

I thought I was going crazy, but I kept searching and I finally came across this

Yea, this is what I was thinking of, but its not in any English version of the game, so I dunno where I heard it now. But what a weird situation, huh?

I also know this happened with Dragon Ball Z's theme, Cha La Head Cha La

Japanese

While America never got an English version AFAIK, the Philippines did! And its pretty good

But then theres the guy who originally sang Cha La, he did his own English version

God damn I love Wild ARMs' music.

Anyhoo, Koda Kumi did an alternate English version of 1000 Words as well as Real Emotion.

Minmi sung an English version of Shiki no Uta (Samurai Champloo ED)

However, people were upset that the English lyrics were taken from a fan made English cover
