AAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Very clever, you did a funny
AWIMBA WEY AWIMBA WEY
This is the best sentence I’ve read today
*WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE-EEEEEEEEEE-A WOMBAWOMBAWOMBAWAAAAAAAAY*
I like how parts of it actually sound heroic until Forgo takes over and makes it more sinister. They have a real creepy voice that perfectly fits what I’ve been imagining for them.
I also noticed that Leon’s voice changes in a similar way to how Dedede’s voice (or accent if you like) gets heavier before and after becoming Forgo Dedede.
@@user-ic4vf6wt4v I know. And I thought it was genius of Juno to use them.
@Sonic gaming Kirby fan 2005 v2 which ones?
the Be Prepared reference in that part also helps that
forgo making Leon go from a king who just wants the best for his people to a conqueror, power-hungry like Scar
@@JustANewHunter I noticed that a lot of Kirby villains follow that path or they straight up trick Kirby for power at the opposite end of the spectrum
Fun fact:
Leongar's actual voice actor in-game, Kenta Miyake, is also the Japanese voice actor for Vector the Crocodile, as well as the voice of Bowser in the Japanese dub of the 2023 Mario movie (when I found out about the latter, it made me imagine Leongar singing "Peaches" 😂)
Say WHAT?! Geez, this guy might have some of the best acting roles ever. In Japan, at least
Or in that instance, "Carol".
*And here we are!*
I don't know why, but all your songs with "cult leader"-ish vibes have _amazing_ lyrics!
Actually kinda wonder if Juno will make a Cult of The Lamb song
That's definitely not something you hear everyday
I can't believe that's a sub-category of songs.
I am going insane :)
@@thatkarmaguy5356 Every time and here are are comes up...
This song (which actually starts around 1:40) is legitimately chilling. The lyrics, along with Darby’s performance perfectly convey the mixture of noble sophistication and feral savagery that is Leongar.
My sis: Darby from BTG?
Me: WHY YOU ASKING ME IDK
I love how Leongar doesn't seem to hold humanity in contempt of leaving them behind, instead wishing to join with mankind wherever they are, intending to share their own knowledge they have gained with humanity. It's only after Forgo takes over that he starts to delve into the evil side and claim that all will bend to their command, intending to "take back the kingdom we had before." Also the Lion King references are well placed too, as when he's more sane he quotes Mufasa (Everything light touches falls within judgment of the animal king/Everything the light touches is our kingdom) and then when Forgo takes over, he quotes Scar with "Be Prepared"
Because unlike the others, he "mostly" knows the truth about why man is gone and wishes to shatter the barrier of this forgotten land and ascend the animals to the light of a new dawn.
meticulous planning, tenacity spanning, decades of denial, is simply why I'll
be king undisputed, respected, saluted, and seen, for the wonder I am!
yes our teeth and ambitions are bared!
BE PREPARED!
That reference to "Be Prepared" caught me completely off guard. Good job!
As a lion king fanatic it made me smile
@@maxlaidlaw5828 Me, too. Honestly, I was just *BEAMING* through the whole thing. I love hearing Darby sing; he has an amazing & beautiful voice. Juno's good, too, but Darby was the main star here.
I saw that one and laughed out loud.
what reference
@@kirbylover2.038 "Meticulous planning, tenacity spanning, decades of denial..." -Those are words taken directly from Scar's 'Be Prepared' song in The Lion King.
I loved this cover! It captured the sad story behind Leongar purrfectly
Leongar is the king of the beast who doesn't want to hurt anyone but had to, to give his people the world that they deserve. The lyrics capture his proud, yet kind, yet serious attitude. I love that he never ever blames Kirby or the others for the fate that occurred to Leon and the Beast Pack, he even acknowledges them as blessed and how they got what he and the others desperately desire. He doesn't even say that he wants to hurt the 'blessed ones' his dream is to live in peace with mankind and I love how you portrayed it!
As I mentioned, he sounds desperate and that's exactly what you can hear during the song! Darby did a fantastic job with his voice acting here! It starts with Leon singing in a proud and kind of royal way, but proceeds to sound really angry and desperate during the end!
The lyrics definitely did his character justice:
A proud king that was left behind with his people desperate to give himself and his kind a little spark of hope and a happy life in a land of dreams, a king who would've done anything to escape this forgotten land he would even put his entire life in some 'god creature' who could give those dreams to him and his people, but he couldn't Be Prepared for the powers and goals that lived within his only last spark of hope...
I don't say it lightly when I say that this is a 10/10 but this cover definitely is a 11/10 and deserves way more praise
If I may add my two cents, In game it's explained that Leongar wasn't actually in control of his body and mind but rather Fecto Forgo was controlling him. Leon doesn't speak in any other way aside from meows and the like. So him speaking English was not actually him, but Fecto Forgo using him as a puppet. The way I interpreted the lyrics is similar to yours, but it's possible Fecto used their powers to not fully mind control him, but maybe brainwash him up until the second phase of the fight. Then it's straight up mind control!
Woah! That is deep dude!
Reminds me a lot of Asgore.
kirby and the people of dreamland aren't the descendants of humanity, that would be the group that betrayed hyness's people.
@@youraverageplutoenjoyer7677 the whole beast pack can speak english for singing purposes, I somehow doubt forgo was mind-controlling them all
That's odd I thought Mufasa died
Jokes aside, this cover is awesome. It conveys Leongar's longing for ascension into the "Land of Dreams" that the former inhabitants of the forgotten land went to, and Darby's voice is SO GOOD AS LEONGAR LIKE WOW. Of course, Fecto Forgo taking over at the end was a nice touch too, and gives us a taste of what the Two Planets Approach The Roche Limit cover (and possible Hunted By The Beast?) will sound like. Overall, great job! Definitely worth the wait!
EDIT: Just realised that the font of Leongar's lyrics is the same font that Dedede used in the Forgo Dedede cover when he reverted to his primal instincts. The fact that Leongar's font is always like this shows that he is completely wild, being the King of The Beasts. Nice touch!
Or that Leongar is fully controlled by whatever fucked with the King of Dream Land.
Also, if you notice, he uses lyrics from both Dedede and Gorimondo. “Yet you stand in our way”/“heed the call of the wild”. What’s amazing is how Darby uses a grand and prideful for Leongar, showing his determination to bring the wild to that “land of dreams”, and when Forgo takes over, Juno shows Forgo’s rage and anger over being separated and contained, desiring one thing: revenge; not just on man for their interference, but also Kirby (the ball)and Dedede (the boar) for their interference and defiance.
Also in the actual game Leongar used a pointier, more wild font than everyone else
Funny that you mention Mufasa, because there is actually a Lion King reference in this song.
@@darkeneddaylight5422 yup, it's at 2:34
This song was amazing from the actual beat, to Darby getting Leongars voice perfect with the calming pride with bits of rage seeping in, not to even mention the amount of Lion King references in the lyric, astounding job as always Juno keep up the work.
I agree; also, shoutout to Darby,who also did an absolutely *incredible* job. Oh, and speaking of "The Lion King", does Leongar/Leon look kinda like an anthropomorphic Mufasa? And speaking of Mufasa, I'm gonna be honest, his voice (done by the amazingly talented James Earl Jones [the same guy who did the voice for Darth Vader in the original "Star Wars" trilogy], in *both* the original animated version from the '90s, and the live action version from the 2010s) is actually my headcanon voice for Leongar; because, it fits.
@@mother_brightmoon4833 you know, Leongar does sound like Mufasa in this, which is interesting since I heard that his design is based on him.
@@mikephelps9238 Is that true? I might have to look that up. (To tell you the truth, I've kinda wondered that myself, actually.)
To be honest, though, I think Mufasa's voice would be PERFECT for Leon/Leongar.
@@mother_brightmoon4833 My headcanon has him voiced by Paul "Xemnas" St. Peter, best known for voicing another lion: Leomon from the Digimon franchise.
@@ReveiwKing999 From the English dub of the anime, right? I've not seen it, so, I'm just guessing.
It’s just so beautiful how in the 2nd phase theme, you can hear Fecto’s voice through an echo past Leon’s voice. Truly exemplifying the puppet-like feel of Leon throughout the whole game.
The delivery of the line "our savior shall RECOMBINE!" is so powerful, and it was so unexpected, I adore it.
It was so good. He really exaggerated the "bine" part of recombine
Worth the wait fellas. 👑
Edit: I really like this take on the Beast Pack’s king. Darby trades the ferocious gruffness that another cover from a few months ago exemplified for an air of royalty which raises-up the misplaced valor of the beasts.
Thinking of making a mashup with your own theme?
What I like is that Darby makes Leongar’s voice grand, prideful, and angry to represent Leon’s determination to not only make Elfilis whole, but to defeat Kirby (the ball) and King Dedede (the boar) for rebelling and defying his plans, but when Forgo takes over, Juno delivers a more rage filled, bloodthirsty voice to represent Forgo’s rage, after all these years of being contained, separated from Elfilin.
@@harrybuilder5670 hmm not really. It’s not the song for it.
@ToxicPea I actually like your version more, this one is great too, but it lacks elfilin
@@mikephelps9238 Plus I think that vicious, Psychotic tone from Forgo is probably from countless years of imprisonment and hearing the same voice over and over again. Yeah, I can get why Forgo might've gone a little Cuckoo.
This is great, it was nice to see a voice over of the dialogue too. I love the distorted part of the song especially
Yes.
Darby and Juno did great!
I definitely think it was also meant to echo Scar's "Be Prepared"
Man Darby has an amazing talent for voicing/singing - going from the deep, intimidating villain voice to the guttural high notes of the furious Leongar. And the lyrics are equally clever, from the "everything the light touches" and "meticulous planning/tenacity spanning/decades of denial" references to Lion King to the overall larger-than-life higher-than-thou eldritch horror speech. Kudos to both Juno and Darby for bringing Leongar's fight to life!
Alright,this was absolutely worth the wait
The lyrics are pretty good,they represent Leongar perfectly and I love how even in this song the "call of the wild" is still present,just like the good old "Hail the Origami King"
Darby absolutely KILLED it as Leon,and the art is pretty good as well
And I know for sure,that after hearing the Roar of the Raging Lion,soon enough 2 Planets will be ready to approach the Roche Limit...
It will indeed soon be roching time!
Or, maybe “everything shall be consumed,” if you know what I’m saying.
@@Multi-ColorMadness that I'm ready for!
It’s rochein’ time (sorry i had to do it)
You said it; Darby *totally SLAYED* it as Leon/Leongar.
I was already in love but I lost it at the "Be Prepared" reference. This was a joy from start to finish!
Worth it
Wait, there's a "be prepared" reference? And I got the "everything the light touches" part...
@@charlestetreault739 4:12 Meticulous planning, Tenacity spanning, Decades of denial
the lyrics from Be prepared.
@@Jacob_G9 oh, I get it now.
Guess it's been too long since I watched Lion King.
Didn’t he also reference the lion king with “Everything the light touches”?
I...can't get enough of this. The calming yet fury-filled voice, the dialogue cover, and of course the Lion King references, it's perfect. Keep doing great like this, Juno. I'm excited to see what's next, and I'm very much hoping this years Halloween special is Bushwhack. It's not even officially fall and I'm blaring your cover of Foolhardy all day.
This was great. Darby did an awesome job mixing a lion's feral roughness with a kings regal disposition and those lyrics man. I couldn't have asked for a better cover of one of Forgotten Land's best themes.
Thank you so much! Thank you, James Earl Jones for inspiring me! 😄
Dude, that Be Prepared reference is flat out genius
Yes
I need more songs from Darby in this register. He is so good at Royal and Powerful characters.
Aww! Thank you so much for saying so! 😄
@@DarbyCupit You are very welcome! I hope to see you Colab with Juno and MOTI team more, you have great range and a great voice.
Ever since you announced you were going to be making this video, I thought Darby would be the perfect voice for Leon/Leongar. Heck, ever since I got to him in my first playthrough, I thought Darby would be the perfect voice. And this certainly proves months-ago-me me right haha. But genuinely. Everything about this goes hard. The vocals, the art, the LYRICS! Your videos never miss, but this hits it out of the park! Great job as always!
I was definitely not prepared for that reference there at end! Incredible as always, Juno! You and Darby definitely ain't just lion around.
I'll walk away now-
Fang you very much, this was paws-itively fun to write and Darby delivered a per-fur-mance fit for a king!
Oh mane. We're taking too much pride in these puns.
Your lyrics fit purrfectly, and it gives me great pride to perform with you... RAWR! 😄
@@JunoSongs I REQUEST A INNER STRUGGLE (VS MECHA KNIGHT) WITH LYRICS-KIRBY PLANET ROBOBOT COVER
Leongars Boss theme has to be one of the best out of the Entire game
Agree. Lyrical songs is the cherry on top
@@phantasmblue I Know right? It’s so cool to see lyrics give more character to characters
Based and correct!!!
Roar of dedede still slaps way harder than everything else in the game, but if I had to pick this would be my second favorite out of all of them.
@@morphstarchangeling8024 I don't know man, Two Planets Approaching the Roche Limit goes pretty hard consistently.
Darby Cupit? I don't know much about him, but I heard he is a fantastic musical artist. And now he's doing the singing chorus of Leongar? King of the Beasts! This is just awesome! Congratulations, Juno!
2:23 God I love how this part sounds, the brass supporting your voice feels so grand.
Wow, to say you and Darby did this song justice is an understatement. Nice lyrics, beautifully performed, but you ultimately earned my like at the Be Prepared reference. (That happens to be my favourite song from The Lion King) Also, I like how you kept this 'drip feed'(?) going, with Dedede's songs both building up to this, Masked and Wild D.D.D dropping a hint of Forgo, and now this song not only capturing Leongar's character perfectly, but also feeding into Forgo's plot, and inevitably their own songs.
Speaking of which, I know many of us are dying to hear Two Planets Approach the Roche Limit, but I have to wonder if you'd somehow manage to make Hunted by the Beast work as well. That'd be quite something to behold, I reckon.
Amazing rendition of one of my favorite pre final boss themes of all time, that little reference to "be prepared" was the icing on the beastly cake
I love the noble air that Leongar commands, and the bits of the Lion King score fit in perfectly. I hope for more Kirby covers in the future!
D-did you throw in BE PREPARED lyrics?
With every video you continue to impress with your lyrics Juno.
And holy hell DARBY such a phenomenal performance as always, kudos to all involved
meticulous planning, tenacity spanning, decades of denial...
@@charlesfisher-kh5swIs simply why I’ll
@@Dusk_Mightyena be king undisputed! respected, saluted!
@@charlesfisher-kh5sw and seen for the wonder I am
@@Dusk_Mightyena yes my teeth and ambitions are bared!
Darby did such an outstanding job as Leongar! I mean, his voice sounds so determined and powerful, perfectly befitting his position as a mighty *Lion King.*
Coming back for another listen I just noticed something, when Leongar still is in control of himself the lyrics are mainly about the pack as a whole with references to Mufasa's lines in Lion King mixed in, then when Forgo takes over it shifts to being all about him with the references instead being Scar's villain song, very nice touch
Darby did a phenomenal job with this song. You can really feel Leons struggle and his pride come through. Also I love the refrences to the lion king in this!
I saw a Be Prepared reference, very clever Juno. Overall a great song, and I imagine that the final boss is the last song from this game you intend to cover if so I’m excited to see what you have planned
I can’t believe the amount of primal fury that Leongar conveyed in the song. You can really hear the untamed tone in his voice! Bravo, Juno. Bravo.
I love how there are just references to the Lion King planted throughout the song. The lyrics mixed with Darby’s golden voice makes thei cover absolutely legendary.
Aww, gosh. 😊
I'm not LION when I say that this is an incredible cover! FUR sure!
*rimshot*
Of CLAWrs! I know what you MANE!
Sure am glad you enjoyed the MANE attraction!
*double rimshots*
Fur real dude fur real
My brain during this whole song " damn why is this what I expected leongar to sound like? And why does he sing so good?"
This was marvelously well done! Darby really knocked it out of the park with this.
You could say that this battle *bites,* but our *mane* man Darby unleashed some *paw-* werful vocals. You can hear the *pride* in every word.
I think I've made my point, I'll for-go now
Ayyy, the song is here! I was honestly hooked when I heard Darby's voice as Leongar. He makes him sound like a chorus leader and the Beast Pack is the chorus. I was on my toes during the entire song! It was just THAT good. Keep up the grand work, Juno!
The mighty lion is in for the "mane" event. Don't ever "fur-get" about it.
Wish the possessed part was longer, but still an epic cover. Also, using the boss subtitles for the "starring as" was genius.
As we get more of these songs, the buildup towards the big bad is great. I am stoked to hear his writing for the final boss theme, since they have multiple segments and phases, it is going to be one heck of a show.
Keep up the amazing work!
The fusion is nigh.
This is absolutely amazing! Leongar's theme is one of my favourite music tracks in Forgotten Land and seeing this makes me so happy. This needs more attention by how amazing this sounds! Also seeing all the references were such a nice touch.
4:12
The reference to Be Prepared Is great
This is BEAUTIFUL! I love it to death! This definitely embodies such hope and desire for the dreams of The Forgotten Land, and I’m glad this was covered!
I like how you did have a reference to The Lion King with the "everything light touches" part.
I really like your work. Brings a smile to my face.
Edit: wow I didn't expect a heart, thanks mate.
Edit part 2: I forgot to say last time, but good idea to have someone else be Leonger. Not saying you would have done bad, he just sounds like a monarch
Between this and the final bowser battle from galaxy, Darby Cupit is quickly becoming my favorite singer. Like ever.
Aww! Thank you, Moss dude. I'm honored to hear how much you like my vocals! 😄
@@DarbyCupit You're just such a perfect fit for these epic villains, I don't think I've ever heard a better Bowser impression!
When I got to the Fecto Forgo part I bailed and now I have to redo the leongar fight
Both surprised and impressed for choosing such a voice for Leongar. Progress at its finest!
Keep up the good work as always Juno. I'm gonna take a guess that Fecto Forgo is gonna takeover next time.
I mean I would want the Forgo fight to be on Elfilin’s POV, with him and Kirby being horrified at what Forgo did to Leongar and other members of the pack. See, I think what would be interesting is that Forgo wouldn’t be able to talk until becoming Elfilis again once they gain Elfilin, who can talk.
I've been waiting for this to come out and am so glad that it did. Everything sounds so good and even better than I was expecting. Perfect 10/10
Love the lyrics in this! They’re fantastic! This’s one of our favorite video game boss battle themes from the game!
Sweet Jesus! You really brought out the beast in your videos! I can't wait for Fecto next!
The past two Kirby tracks feel a bit better as complete songs, but you definitely chose the right guy for Leon! Darby did great keeping him proud, yet almost understanding or diplomatic, until peaking with a more intimidating, direct, and fearsome end segment. Looking a little closely, did you keep the art piece up longer than usual to mask his limited health? If so, pretty clever! Speaking of clever, though, part of me *really* hopes releasing today is a coincidence...
Edit: Wait... "Ball and the Boar stand be..." pffffff, nice one.
Pretty fire! Loved the Lion King references and the second phase being from Forgo's perspective!
And when we finally get to the final boss, hopefully it shows how Fecto Elfilis is the most evil Kirby character
THIS WAS AMAZIN'...
*HOLY DAMN.*
So... does that mean, you are slowly goin' to do the Fecto/Forgo songs?
Judging by the fact that Juno sings a whisper as fecto Forgo when Leongar goes berserk, I'm gonna say yes.
IMMACULATE COVER!!!! The Raging Lion Roars is my favorite track just behind Welcome to the New World. In fact, a cover of Welcome to the New World be a great cover too!
This song is really good and I just realised this song was posted on my birthday last year, which makes the song even better.
Love the “Be Prepared” line’s lol
3:49 god that scream just hits different
Also is it just me or is there a second voice (forgo's presumably) in the back of phase 2?
How it feels to stub your toe at like 4 in the morning
God, these song and lyrics gave me chills! Bravo!
Oooooh, we're getting closer to the final boss ! This is exciting! Especially how good the precedent ones were !
LET’S GO!!!!!! About time we’ve seen this! Great job voicing Leon! I can’t wait for the next installment!
Leon is voiced by Darby-I’m sure he’s happy to hear you enjoyed his performance!
@@JunoSongs And you voiced Fecto Forgo and did an amazing job!
Thank you so much! 😄
To be completely honest here, I'm more interested in the gameplay in the background than the actual song.
I love the artwork.
That scream when he's fully taken over by fecto forgo sounds actually painful and I love it!
The royal lion emperor,Leongar, is truly a great leader of the beast pack in the whole new world. Wasn't he?
Like how Leongar dismisses his "loyal tool" just like the little pink intruder. Dedede is an outsider too. Pretty ironic how Forgo twists and bends Leon's form as well, then. The circle of lif- Er, possession, is complete.
How will “Two Planets Approach the Roche Limit” turn out?
Your lyrics are so good like always
And I love the switch up in lyrics with Fecto Forgo
Darby did great as Leongar
2:33 Nice Lion King reference.
Is it just me, or does the 2nd phase sound like his Bowser voice?
WHAT A VOICE!!
Also, I swear 2:33 and 4:12 are a Lion King Reference so 12/10.
I originally didn’t think that this could get more epic, and the transition is even more spine chilling as well
Now that I've finally played this game, I was able to listen to these songs without spoilers, and I must say, this one is my favorite. I hope you continue to make more, including the post-game content.
I love how “the Great One” was translated to “their Greatness”, in my own language, French. Makes ID-F86 almost feel like some sort of king or queen. And, sorry, but the original is « Sa Grandeur », which could be both “his” or “her”-there are unfortunately no gender implications because French uses feminine if the actual possessed word (“greatness”, in this case), is feminine.
Too bad, it doesn’t canonically tell us more about Elfilis’ potential gender but I guess it’s fine this way and referring to them in a neutral way kind of seems fitting in itself. Still cool to see translations can be so interesting and transformative, increasing the tension of the last section of the game and making this final boss feel like royalty and so ominous, during the buildup alone!
3:54 I used a trick with my crappy headphones that cut out some audio when you position the cord weirdly so I could get a good listen of the voice in the back, it kinda sounds like multiple people talking in a metal bowl from far away.
This has multiple references to Lion King. And that actually makes sense because it's a lion boss theme. Makes me want to watch that movie
Great work as always Juno, once Toxic pea made his, I was looking forward to this. Also I noticed that the text for Leongar’s first phase is in that primal font that Forgo Dedede’s text occasionally turned into, showing that Fecto Forgo has a tighter grip on Leon, that’s just a nice detail
can we take a second and appreciate the fury in that “Recombine!” Darby did an amazing job
I love the fighting your judgment day 2:01
4:12
"With meticulous planning,
Tenacity spanning,
Decades of denial,"
...Scar, is that you?
I love so much that lion king reference "everything the light touches"
The Darby appearance was unexpected!
dude leongar was such a good fight and this song is sweet as heck, very nice all around :)
I really hope this will lead to the fecto forgo with lyrics
I usually consider adding lyrics to songs that were not made for them a dumb idea.
Your videos are truly an exception to that rule! Great one!
Wow, awesome job. The Lion’s like a mixture of The Beast and Scar from Disney.
I want a 1 hour loop on this song and Roar of Dedede
The Lion King references at 2:33 and 4:12 (the latter being Be Prepared specifically) were so well executed
2:21 If you put on headphones on this part, you can hear the ambience of the song.
3:54 And the bone-chilling ambience.
An alien singing parts of Be Prepared through a would-be ruler lion - ironic
The King of The Beast, Leongar has made his mighty roar heard amoung all, Best lyrics ever for this song
I can still picture In my head Patrick Seitz voicing Leongar with his Endeavor voice. Who's with me?
gotta love the little "be prepared" reference at the end
Dude!! That was so epic, you guys are so freaking amazing and talented, great job!!👏👏
humanity: oh,dreams?lets go there.
beast pack: B R O U F O R G O R U S .
This is so awesome! Many parts of the song surprised me - in a good way! Love the shift in tone at the end too.
Oh my god the Lion King references are so good
I've been waiting for this for so long and I'm happy to see it, awesome work. :)
