Haha sorry I just thought this was interesting... the poster made Shiina's voice lower with Audacity. It sounds genuinely like a regular male singer!

It doesn't sound like a man - especially not at the very end.
Changing the pitch without proportionately changing the speed, should be like a federal crime. It sounds very distorted. I've been there, done that, and moved on (to Rate Adjustment only). I'll only use Rate Adjustment in moderation, instead of excessively high or low. Even if I were to go as low in key as this YouTube video, there is a world of difference between how smooth my Rate Adjusted playback in foobar2000 sounds off of lossless, versus how a pitch-only change sounds in a custom MP3. If I want to throw off the pitch, I don't need to save out custom versions of my music. My player does it all on-the-fly. Sometimes I'm in the mood to go higher, and sometimes I'm in the mood to go lower. All I change is a setting in my player.

The visuals were even more atrocious than the thinned-out radio-like audibles.

I think the better question is, which drug(s) were they on?

That was weird! My brain kept rejecting the voice as false maybe because of what Glathannus said. But it was enough for the music to take on a different character.

...what the hell did I just watch? Were they playing footbag / hacky sack with a Pokéball? Good Lord, it was like watching a Reh Dogg animation. Well, at least it didn't take seven episodes for the characters to complete tasks.

Also, it sounded less like a man and more like a woman with some larynx problems.

This video totally did not rock the dragon. ¬_¬

Yawn. You could do a better job with an Eventide H949 Harmonizer 30 years ago.

I know there was nothing super about the video/voice adjustment, but for some reason I really enjoy watching it.
