Yes, but the contestant WANTS IT!

Wow! This is almost EXACTLY like the GX version, except for the instrumental intro prior to 1:11, the short a capella bit at 3:18-3:25, and the vocalizations/refrains after 4:25. The arrangement is almost the same. The way she bends her voice as she sings each note is even the same. It's awesome.
That being said, Ringo's voice has a certain quality hers lacks, and since she is imitating Ringo's performance so closely, it's hard not to notice when she comes up a bit short. In particular I think Ringo pushed her voice a bit harder. ETA: Scribble R is right, her recent performances of the old songs have been quite good IMO. |
IMO this cover sounds forced and awkward
the same way koda kumi, ayumi and mika nakashima have been sounding for a while in their live performances the same way any japanese boyband choreography has always made me feel a little bit embarassed in empathy for the person doing that and I don't know why Kameda is giving me funny pedo vibes in the background XD |

It's excellent. And they did a bit of a deep cut- not just Marounichi or Kabukicho like every other band.

I wish they did Sakana, it would be so nice!

I enjoyed those.
His Shuraba and Marunouchi covers were really good. I also really liked the Nagaku Mijikai instrumental. I agree the others are a mixed bag. He also has a really good instrumental cover of Jamiroquai's "Virtual Insanity" and a pretty solid version of "September" on his channel too. |
OMG
it seems that guy from the covers I posted is now super famous O.o' |
