:lol: Did you listen to their cover? They literally were just making up a bunch of gibberish in between a lot of the phrases and adding extra syllables all over because they spent 5 hours on it and didn't care enough about the pillows to try learning the song they covered. That level of not-giving-a-fuck about something that's supposedly a tribute for my favorite band is guaranteed to piss me off lol.

@Bebop: NAILED IT. 8) Great job man.[/quote]

Thanks, I thought about not doing anything at all. My plan was sugar night waltz as an intro, sitting on a paper moon, then this as an outro. I'm still gonna finish the cover over the next few months since this guy did the drums and got someone to do vocals.

There's many deserving winners on here. I wanna look at the Ovlav or whatever cover just to see how bad it is now... XD

[quote="Marekenshin"]HA. Someone from Ovlov (who has a youtube username of "bonersmusic," classy) replied to my comment saying "this was learned and recorded this in 5hours last minute. we didn't have many retries. sorry if this offends you buddy, but i'm sure the pillows wouldn't be offended ;] thanks for the view!"

I had commented saying "Why would you not even bother actually learning the lyrics properly? It's one thing to have some pronunciation issues, Japanese can be hard, but it's kind of rude to the band to be like 'fuck it, who cares about the words' like that."

They deleted their reply comment shortly after posting. Not sure if they realized it was a piss-poor excuse or that saying you only spent 5 hours on your cover shows even more disrespect than they intended. That shit goddamn annoys me, seriously.[/quote]

There video was entertaining, but yeah... the singing. Lol. He was LITERALLY making shit up. That's what lazy weeaboos in middle school would do when they made up lyrics for their favorite anime OP. So I can see what you mean by that. It was embarrassing to even listen to. But at least they... tried? I don't wanna shoot them down completely.

Holy tits. Yeah, he pretty much made it all up. A shame, because the instrumentation is pretty decent and the video wasn't bad either.

To say they tried, when they clearly didn't, is just silly. The whole point of my complaint is that they OBVIOUSLY did not try, any band that's been playing together for several years can get the instrumentation down at least that well.

You know how easy it is to NOT do the shit they did? Print off the lyrics or have an electronic device with internet connection handy. There is ABSOLUTELY no excuse, man.

Edit: Perfect example of what I mean right here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q2Qfd5kUX2M
Dude mispronounces a few syllables, but they actually gave a fuck and tried to sing the right words. Ovlov's entry was bullshit, and they knew their excuse for their bullshit entry being bullshit was also bullshit. I am incredibly disappoint.

Meh, I wouldn't take it that far. It is bullshit, but these guys look like they don't give a fuh, and I can respect the fun it looks like they had.

Also, some people are really bad at reading romaji and singing, even if it's right in front of them. So if they decided to enter at the last minute and had to get it done in "5 hours" (like, music, video, and all that), I can see how that might happen.

Personally I would never bother uploading something like that, but yeah. Obviously the band isn't as important to them as they are to us. Since this is an international competition, you should expect anything from anybody. Like, I didn't expect 50 entries in the last week, but hey, that's what happened. Of course some are gonna be weird as hell and some... kinda awful.

It is funny to see you smite them, though.

[quote="SteppinLoud"]Did I make it in time!?

Filmed and edited in 24 hours, and I'm pretty sure it shows. What're you gonna do...

Good luck everybody![/quote]

Yaaaay! I was getting worried you weren't going to finish yours. Looking forward to watching all the new entries.

It's all good, my video was recorded and thrown together in probably 6 hours or so total. =P No time to lip synch!

Lol Mare, I understand how you feel about Ovlov. But let's all chill now, they did it for fun and that's okay.

I think I've seen all the entries. Technically there's still another hour for new entries. But I think we're right around 100 entries in all. We really did get about 50 entries in the last week or so. lol

There's a lot of stuff up there!

The cutoff was actually 5:59 pm Japan time. So this contest is CLOSED!!!

I had 90ish in my list last I checked, so it may be over 100 by now.

The pillows can have a laugh at these guys who thought the band wouldn't notice or care that they were singing gibberish. If the pillows even end up seeing it.

I wonder if the pillows themselves are really going to go through all the covers. It would be a shame if they didn't because there's a lot of really good stuff.

I'm sure they'll try to watch all the covers, seems like they did last time around and they gave themselves a full month to go through them. In addition to the IM covers that popped up at the end, there are really sick covers for Wake Up Frenzy!, Enerugia, and Sono Mirai wa Ima. There's also a really, really great cover of Beautiful Morning With You that doesn't have a proper video.

I'm going to stop my tirade, but no matter how Ovlov tries to write off that dick move as them doing something "just for fun" doesn't make it okay or any less disrespectful.

Like GR commented on their video, it's also quite a shame, because the rest of the entry (instruments, video) was actually pretty solid.

Lmao

I gotta back you up on this though, Mare. I, too, really felt it was disrespectful.

If a last dinosaur entry wins, it should be kidyuki.

I lied, I have one last thing to say about it. The vocalist responded saying "have you ever listened to the pillows sing in english?"

He, like his other bandmate, promptly deleted his comment, realizing how stupid it was. :lol:
