It didn't create a new personality it just brought out what was already inside him and gave it the opportunity to grow and prosper, power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely.

I think that refers to Light's flawed logic that the ends (making the world a better place) would justify the means (murder) despite it being wrong in of itself. It eventually drove him to insanity as he continued to rationalize his increasingly irrational behavior to himself without a care for how far things had escalated until it was too late.

What I like about Death Note is that it makes you wonder, is Light a good guy, or is he a bad guy? I know that in the current world, he is considered a villain, but that's only because the world we currently live in has decided that such actions are evil. But what he had succeeded in creating a new world, then maybe such actions would have been considered good.
that's the point is, the moral and history is dictated by the winner same as with what happen if ww1 won by central power or ww2 won by axis? the point i took from that is the moral between right or wrong maybe subjective to everyone but can be heavily influenced by the greater power or figure in your community thus resulting "The history dictated by the winner" because no one will disagree with the winner. tho it is only heavily influenced, the personal experience will make you to choose whether to go with the flow or make your own moral compass
I don’t know if it’s just me? But the way he played the music, it gives of a heroic tone. Like something you would hear from one punch man or my hero academia. I suppose this makes sense considering the lyrics are taken from lights point of view, and how he sees himself as the good guy. So it only seems fitting that the music would be made to match it But that’s just my opinion, what do you all think?
Yes for sure. These are the accurate lyrics and Light thinks of himself as a hero who see the sacrifice of innocents who attempt to stop him necessary in order to save the world
I honestly wasn't blown away by death note, but light was one of the most well-developed and believable villains I've ever come across, and this song perfectly illustrates why. He truly believes that he is the good guy, and the audience isn't just told this, but they follow his journey into darkness every step of the way, and we really understand why he becomes who he is.
I never knew the lyrics to this song even though I've watched the series at least a dozen times. I'm glad I've seen this, it just adds a whole new dimension to the song. You can just feel Light's god complex in this song

"Like a flower, dark and blooming from my love, not light!" I think there's a deeper meaning behind that, I think it means Light is no longer....well...Light. Kira, sees himself as an innocent flower while spreading his dark 'love' (death) around the world. Or, it means he was a flower, blooming from the love of innocent people, and killing those who shared the same darkness as him, but he sees himself as pure despite being no better from them. Hm....nah, I'm looking too far into this lol
Hello! I'm Korean who loves Death Note. I saw this anime so many times, love that song, characters and all of it! I listen this song few months ago and now. Whenever I listen it, it always good! I think this version is perfect same as original version😍 I always supporting you, so please keep going to make good songs for all your supporters! Thank you for reading this comment♥ (I'm not good at English... Please Forgivingness! Sorry😂😂😂)
The lyrics to this song can be taken 2 different ways. If you don’t know what this is from, you may think it’s from the perspective of a hero, being selfless to save everyone. But when you know it’s about Light, it completely changes the feel of the song. Instead of being heroic and selfless, it’s self righteous and slightly sociopathic. Especially the lyric “please tell me why; am I a savior, meant to save us all?” It’s not a desperate cry, but Light’s brain slowly twisting into the mastermind he turns out to be. It gave me chills
Otaku: The world wouldn't sound good in English Jonathan: Hold my beany Edit: thx for 80 likes xdd Edit2: when the fuck did i get over 800 likes?? Yall are awesome!

When you sing "they want an end, a curtain call" for the second time, I feel like you could replace it with "they want a dream, a paradise" to match better with the original japanese lyrics, but that's just me.
@@eyelandss I'm not saying it matches light, but the song itself says: Why am I a broken Messiah? The "end" which everyone wanted and then Why am I a broken Messiah? The "paradise" which everyone dreamed of It doesn't really matter if it matches Light Yagami knowledge that Heaven and Hell don't exist, he was making the world a "paradise" which all the honest, hardworking people dreamed of.

@@ChromeRanger488 Op 2 is godlike.

The first opening actually described Lights character to change the world but the second as a serial killer
Oh Light 😭😭😭😭😭I miss u

Because Light became more mentally unstable as the series moved forward, it's shown in the openings
Hi I am ryuzaki or as you know me L the smartest detective and I will catch kira
i like Light.... until he killed L...
I hope there will be a new season
Light: pls tell me why? am i a saviour meant to save us all?
Ryuk: lol nah i’m just bored
Light was a badass though.
ryuk is a stand in for the audience, in a way we are the sick and depraved ones. we watched all of this death and mayhem unfold, weve watched betrayal and countless tragedies before us. But in essence why did we do it?
because WE were bored. we wanted to be entertained.
The show acts as a sort of socratic dialogue between Light and Ryuk.
Light wants to rid the world of criminals and evil and replace it with "People whom ive judged to be kind, honest and hardworking"
to which Ryuk replies
"Then you would be the only bad person left"
its about justice, or more subversively, what IS justice?
Light is an ends justify the means kind of guy
but L? thats his foil.
L belives in ridding the world of Injustice wherever it may shine its ugly head. In the show, where L personifies himself in the form of Lind L. Tailor on the news program, he states that "What you are doing is wrong" to Light. That through this, Light is acting unjustly, putting the power of judge jury and executioner on his mantle.
furthermore, he states that not only is kira unjust, but that taking down Kira is its own form of justice.
From this we can garner that L's form of justice isn't set on any specific principle or teaching. Its the pursuit of defeating injustice is justice in of itself. It isnt to rid the world of any specific evil or philosophy, rather as a reaction to injustice.
its more practical to point out injustices that occur rather than a broad definition of what is just. He sees justice as a reponse to injustice. L takes the form of inquisitor with this role, as an ambiguous argument against Kira.

Jared Emmons he's separating himself from light to become Kira it's so awesome I love death note so freaking much dude
Not only that, but it's betraying that his cause isn't actually just at all. "Blooming from my love" implies it's emotionally motivated rather than for the good of manknd
MystTale It also alludes to how much of a false God he is. A true God would base on their actions on both their love and light(justice)
I believe when he uses the words with my love not light he is saying that is going to do evil things to save the world because he loves the world.

yep .. he would have to watch the anime (the one who translated)
I don't hear a lot of Jonathan Young's music, but this is easily my favourite. I listen to this a couple times a day.
This song is my personal inspiration. I had no idea "The World" spoke of things like this.
do you still listen?
Jonny, my baby boy, I'm very proud of you
omfg, he ur dad, cute :3
I made a promise for a change,
a revolution in the night
like a flower, dark and blooming from my love,
not light!!!
I won't let them interfere,
I won't allow them in my way
the world will know
the night will grow
it all begins...
today!
(Solo)
I see the future and the fruit it brings
this town forgot it's sense of reasoning
these ever-twisting days are blackening
the dark...
it starts to turn...
into dreams!
please tell me why!
am I a savior, meant to save us all?
the people cry!
they want an end
a curtain call!
I made a promise for a change,
a revolution in the night...
like a flower, dark and blooming from my love,
not light!!!
I won't let them interfere,
I won't allow them in my way
the world will know
the night will grow
it all begins...
today!
someday, somehow
I'll show the world, in time
replace these clouds above
with shining sky!!!

The lyrics are at the bottom of the screen bruh
Thx
I love how the fights in this anime were all just mind games. Light and L were so badass
2019 and it is still *rocking*
What I like about Death Note is that it makes you wonder, is Light a good guy, or is he a bad guy?
I know that in the current world, he is considered a villain, but that's only because the world we currently live in has decided that such actions are evil. But what he had succeeded in creating a new world, then maybe such actions would have been considered good.
"If we catch Kira, he is evil. If he wins and rules the world, then he is justice." - Light Yagami
My point exactly!
that's the point is, the moral and history is dictated by the winner same as with what happen if ww1 won by central power or ww2 won by axis? the point i took from that is the moral between right or wrong maybe subjective to everyone but can be heavily influenced by the greater power or figure in your community thus resulting "The history dictated by the winner" because no one will disagree with the winner. tho it is only heavily influenced, the personal experience will make you to choose whether to go with the flow or make your own moral compass
he is definitely evil he burned his girlfriend alive
As someone who is not a relativist, I can say that Light is most likely a villain
The first opening for death note is better than the second one.
Agreed
Your opinion, i prefer the 2nd one. But i always seek for heavier songs :3
agreed
+Masterduel012 shut up the first one is better than the second one .
Général Solonias That IS what i am saying you IDIOT
PD: Shit for brains...
Started watching Death note a few days ago...now I can't stop listening this song!!!
You're amazing!
You can tell how much fun he is having playing this. So passionate!
Its cool he's having fun playing it. I strongly agree.
SPOILER ALERT
Light takes a potato chip, and EATS IT
Ashlynn Butler Everything goes according to the heikaku
Ashlynn Butler OMG yaaasssss
Wtf man!? You ruined the show for me. You just got REPORTED.
Obviously just kidding.
Not in the Netflix version he doesn't...
Ashlynn Butler noooooo why would you spoil that, you just ruined the anime for me 😠
for my second time watching it
Almost 3 years old and i still listen to this masterpiece!
Finally! Ive been looking for an English cover for this song. This is AMAZING! You are an excellent singer and you did a wonderful job.
I don’t know if it’s just me? But the way he played the music, it gives of a heroic tone. Like something you would hear from one punch man or my hero academia.
I suppose this makes sense considering the lyrics are taken from lights point of view, and how he sees himself as the good guy. So it only seems fitting that the music would be made to match it
But that’s just my opinion, what do you all think?
Yes for sure. These are the accurate lyrics and Light thinks of himself as a hero who see the sacrifice of innocents who attempt to stop him necessary in order to save the world
I have the same feeling
I'm bit late, but yeah I agree.
From Light's perspective, "Am I a savior meant to save us all?"
I'm guessing he thought the answer to that was yes.
I think light is and was a hare
Hero
You were expecting a Death Note reference
But it was me,

amazing
This one is the best English cover of death note op 1!!
thanks for translating my favorite song now it kicks more ass
Rest. In. Peace L
He was too good for this world.
Rip the legend
Too soon. Forever too soon. =(
Don't spoil for others 🙄
L is cool but I'm a true Kira supporter
1:56 it gets me everytime! I just get goosebumps by this part, it's soooo good!
Same here
I honestly wasn't blown away by death note, but light was one of the most well-developed and believable villains I've ever come across, and this song perfectly illustrates why. He truly believes that he is the good guy, and the audience isn't just told this, but they follow his journey into darkness every step of the way, and we really understand why he becomes who he is.
Thank you JoYo, this song was what I needed to heal my soul after watching the Netflix movie.
I never knew the lyrics to this song even though I've watched the series at least a dozen times. I'm glad I've seen this, it just adds a whole new dimension to the song. You can just feel Light's god complex in this song
Best english opening I've ever heard. I love you for this.
This guy is so talented. He killed it on all the instruments and the vocals. Awesome version of this song.
Thanks, I needed this after that Death Note Netflix movie.
Ronzeru yes sir.
The movie suuuuucks
Ronzeru we all did.
lmao any live action version of any anime will turn you either on or off the anime for good xD
ikr the movie does suck i had a nightmere of being forced to watch it over and over again O,O it was terrorfying (excuse typos xP )
The movie would've been good if it was it's own movie
Jonathan Young do you plan on doing any more anime covers? I'd really like to hear an English cover for My Hero Academia opening.
YES! I WANT THAT! I NEED THAT! I FEEL THAT! ;-; please do it Jonathan ;_;
***** yess! Do it Jonathan senpai! We want my hero academia~opening (THE DAY)
Yay thanks Jonathan Young. Your so damn awesome ^_^.

Lol
One of the best Death Note covers i have ever heard well done.
I love how one half is Jonathon singing like a boss, and the other half of the screen is hm just being the entire band
Even the lyrics are not 100% accurate it is amazing as hell,good job!!
I actually wanted light to win

We all know that's not gonna happend since the second op
I agree, he had a point
Tbh i wanted L to win untill he died, after that i was rooting for Kira all the way.
I made a promise for a change a revolution in the night

Your song really made me cry by remembering one of the anime legends 'Yagami Light'.
Yagami Light in Japanese
Light Yagami in English
LOL
@@arct8297 that's what English does to every name in Japanese
Do you mean God?
Man, you are a legend also.
Light was the best character
I love it that this guy is obviously having so much fun while doing this song.
I'll take this song... and listen to it!
Is that a motherfucking potato reference?
Drayd Thundroz sure looks like it.
F*ck yeah, it is
kaizen I'll take your comment and like it.
I'll start the television and watch it!
"Like a flower, dark and blooming from my love, not light!"
I think there's a deeper meaning behind that, I think it means Light is no longer....well...Light. Kira, sees himself as an innocent flower while spreading his dark 'love' (death) around the world. Or, it means he was a flower, blooming from the love of innocent people, and killing those who shared the same darkness as him, but he sees himself as pure despite being no better from them. Hm....nah, I'm looking too far into this lol
Hello! I'm Korean who loves Death Note. I saw this anime so many times, love that song, characters and all of it! I listen this song few months ago and now. Whenever I listen it, it always good! I think this version is perfect same as original version😍 I always supporting you, so please keep going to make good songs for all your supporters! Thank you for reading this comment♥
(I'm not good at English... Please Forgivingness! Sorry😂😂😂)
I love how, instrumentally, this song sounds like an OP of an anime that’s set in Spain.
Great work as always dude!

oshiete oshiete yo
nope he cant
he always makes the song very rockey
think how can he do the first part of tokyo ghouls :p
I love Death Note!!!!!!! ;-)
The lyrics to this song can be taken 2 different ways. If you don’t know what this is from, you may think it’s from the perspective of a hero, being selfless to save everyone. But when you know it’s about Light, it completely changes the feel of the song. Instead of being heroic and selfless, it’s self righteous and slightly sociopathic. Especially the lyric “please tell me why; am I a savior, meant to save us all?” It’s not a desperate cry, but Light’s brain slowly twisting into the mastermind he turns out to be. It gave me chills
This cover is why I subscribed.
Otaku: The world wouldn't sound good in English

Because unlike most dubs, Jon doesn't use the original translated lyrics. He understands the show, knows what it's about, and writes the most fitting lyrics he can think of for the english version.
English sounds always awesome. Try German - that's awful.

When you sing "they want an end, a curtain call" for the second time, I feel like you could replace it with "they want a dream, a paradise" to match better with the original japanese lyrics, but that's just me.
And the last "with shining sky" should be "with a shining world"
@@Iskaid the curtain call fits light more than a paradise because he knows something like that doesn't exist
@@eyelandss I'm not saying it matches light, but the song itself says:
Why am I a broken Messiah?
The "end" which everyone wanted
and then
Why am I a broken Messiah?
The "paradise" which everyone dreamed of
It doesn't really matter if it matches Light Yagami knowledge that Heaven and Hell don't exist, he was making the world a "paradise" which all the honest, hardworking people dreamed of.
@@Iskaidor maybe "replace this evil world with paradise."
This guy deserves more subs cause this cover is insane
It’s the middle of the night but I gotta admit that watching the music bits with the volume silent is one of the funniest things I’ve seen
