Default Onaji Yoru (Spanish Cover)

Hello everyone!

I am a new member to these forums and kind of ashamed to say that because I've been listening to Shiina since 1999 and am a huge fan! Really should have joined earlier.

Anyway, I've always wanted to cover a SR song and recently I re-wrote lyrics for a Spanish version of "Onaji Yoru; 同じ夜; The Same Night".
Now I'm having the problem of finding the instrumental/karaoke track of the song. I tried using Adobe Audition to remove the vocal track but it just doesn't sound right.

Can anyone help me with this problem?

EDIT: PROBLEM SOLVED.

Here's my cover:

¿Cómo vas a traducir el título? ¿"La misma noche"? Si consigues hacer la versión, postéala por aquí, ¡que estaría guay escuchar una canción de Ringo en español !

How are you gonna translate the title? If you get to cover the song, post it here; it would be cool to listen to a SR song in Spanish!

The only viable approach to get karaoke versions for most Shiina Ringo songs, is if you reproduce the instrumentals rather than attempt to take away the vocals. This isn't impossible, since there's a dozen scorebooks, and there are fan(s) here who can tell you which guitar or accessories were used in almost any SR/TJ situation.

I've got some work experience in "Noise Removal", and I wouldn't dare to mess specifically with vocals. If there's at least some overlap between the frequency range of vocals and other sounds in the music, then there's always going to be collateral damage in the audio whenever you completely remove the vocals.

So this is what I ended up doing after hours and hours trying to isolate the instrumentals; I finally found a MIDI file of it and then I enhanced it using Adobe Audition. Please let me know what you think!
( I know I messed up pronouncing "refiero", that would always confuses me and I didn't realize it until I mixed down the track!")
Just by the way I'm half European/ half Mexican, I grew up learning both languages but raised in America. Enjoy!

P.S.
The lyrics are in the song description!

Video doesn't work for me (here in Colombia), is there some kind of region lock out?

Which video(s) are you trying to play?

Japan and UK are both Region 2. Thus, you may have taken for granted that everything from one country would work in the other (if the player or the TV could convert between NTSC and PAL).

GX and Spa & Treatment probably won't work in Colombia because they're Region 2 discs, while all of South America (including Colombia) is Region 4. However, the rest of the SR/TJ DVDs are All-Region, and should function with Colombian equipment.

I'm sorry about that, I uploaded an MP3 on Vimeo thinking it would be smart enough to play it, I guess I was wrong.

Here is the re-uploaded link and I'll edit my first post link soon!

I'm in China right now so anything that has to do outside of Chinese internet is blocked... so annoying.
