Just letting you all know that this is indeed geekymcgeekstein's voice, the original fandub was pitched lower (her range didn't fit the original pitch). This person has taken geekymcgeekstein's fandub and pitched it to it's original pitch (which also sped up the vocals).
Man, I came across this song way back. I had yet to get into subbed or originals, so I thought this was the original song and learned these lyrics. I played this song too many times that even 10+ years later I still remember it. As much as I love Yui, I'm kinda attached to this fandub lol
Wish everyone would stop complimenting this person. She stole this from Geekymcgeekstein and sped up the voice. She claims she sung it herself but only gives credit for the writing of the lyrics.
John Thomas Years ago when it was first uploaded she was claiming she sang it and was arguing with Geeky over it. Geeky downloaded the song, slowed the song and lowered the pitch and told her she was full of shit. It still doesn't say anywhere that she isn't claiming to have sung it. She has another song on her profile that she claim is a "cover" and is really the exact same thing. Stolen and edited.
Guys chill out. Just because it's her lyrics doesn't mean it's her singing. It's most likely the same lyrics, with her own vocals, just sped up because it sounded better. Just because it's sped up doesn't automatically mean she stole it. Ya'll need to chill and stop jumping to conclusions. Also I can support this by the pitch. Geeky's voice was way to deep, and if it was actually Geeky's audio, it would sound terrible because of the drastic pitch change. The singer of this version started with a high pitch voice.
I will pursue this dream, 'cause I know it's expected that I be serene Upon this winding road, in the face of the crowds that bustle all around Although it seems like I am chasing after the past, What I want is a place where the sky is alive and like home to me Please try to understand the truth That this is no choice And I wish you'd stop with that look of despair You're giving me Tears are nothing but the shape of our weakness And they won't bring any absolution I do not see an end to this labyrinth Who am I waiting for~ And I write it down in the pages of my notebook 'Cause I'm looking for the me that is still honest I am running but I don't even know why From this reality To chase my wishes I'll carry on living And I will always remember the depths of the darkness I'll face my demons and I'll no longer run away There isn't a place to go I'll lose this feeling of being so helpless 'Cause my whole life is ahead of me I'll quash the numbness 'Cause pain's better than the emptiness I must apologize, I've really messed up and I am so ashamed I may not say it much, But I know that I make you worry all the time Back then you always could accept the things I'd done And you're still the same today so I'll try not to burden you But try to realize that I have closed my eyes Just because the world is too harsh And I'm willing to blind myself Rumors that they have spread about us I do not know which was the first one "We were friends from the second that we met," Just stop with the lies already And my heart turned red with this passion And it almost consumed my very being 'Cause in truth I'd held onto hope From this reality To chase my wishes I'll carry on living And I really want to scream out, but can you even hear me? I'll face my demons, and I'll no longer run away There isn't a place to go I still am grateful for the care you've shown me So I'll find the strength to make it count I'll always move onward Facing my friends and foes alike How do you unlock this door that has no key? Can you think of a way? We can't go back to the beginning The story is set, and our destinies too Open up your eyes Open up your eyes I'll lose this feeling of being so helpless 'Cause my whole life is ahead of me And the things I once abandoned I want to try and find again Come on, just one more time To chase my wishes I'll carry on living And I really want to scream out, but can you even hear me? I'll face my demons, and I'll no longer run away There isn't a place to go I still am grateful for the care you've shown me So I'll find the strength to make it count I'll quash the numbness 'Cause pain's better than the emptiness
I've been listening to this for almost as long as its been on YT, and it makes me happy everytime I hear it, happy that I've lived these years. Happy I've had emotional issues. Happy I've overcome them only to face others. Happy my existence continues
No u don't I find it easy for those parts x but I can say those fast parts and sing in the same time easily x and make it clear soz I wanna upload my cover but am scared
XERO AMV's The vocals were actually stolen from Geekymcgeekstein's video and sped up. The uploader isn't the actual person singing it. She claims she is and is only giving Geeky the credit for the lyrics. It's a shame.
Admittedly, I was hesitant to click when I saw the word 'fandub', but I'm glad I clicked because I'm incredibly impressed! I could tell where it was a bit sped up too much, however, the passion in the singer's voice was more than enough to make up for it. Amazing work! I hope I'm fortunate enough to hear more in the future.
I don't think this person was trying to steal it, I just believe this person didn't make it obvious enough that it was geekymcgeekstein was the one who sang it. She probably just sped it up, thought it sounded cool, then uploaded it, trying to give the original singer credit for the song but it didn't type up right. If I was wrong and she was trying to steal it, she is a horrible person that should go find her own ideas.
Wickidge no thats not how it works, you can't "copyright" something thats copyrighted, you simply can't post other people's stuff. People who are responsible for some other stuff in some cases simply don't care or bother taking down videos that post their stuff. You can try finding full version of this song that is unaltered on youtube - you will have hard time finding it, and no its not because noone bothered to post it, it's because they are taken down, no matter what you write in description. This is the case for many songs.
people complaining about it being stolen ( I made it faster cause i like how it sounds, idk y so....... dont ask ... ) he might not have put it clearly but he pretty much admitted its geekys I also put this through audacity and yep its geekys version sped up
Ok...But she's talking about her voice dude that is really beautiful. We know that is from that geeky dude and is sped up.You don't need to just comment that sh*t everywere.
It sounds a lot faster than what I swear it sounds like, but aside, you did a fantastic job with it and I applaud your work. I was trying to sing along with you but my tongue was getting tied into knots. Again, fantastic work.
Lolz i like this a lot XD dont kno about the rest of yall, but i normally frown on most english fandubs and stuff-but this sounded surprisingly good! the pitch is almost a mirror of the original japanese version, the quality pretty high, and tho the speed is kinda...unnatural (lol), it all rlly works out! Awesome job, whoever put this all together! :D
AWESOMENESS!!!!!!! I can now understand my favorite Japanese sung song! Thank you so much for putting this together, the only thing I miss from the origional is the piano/techno feel of the song, but it is amazing to hear it in a way i can understand the lyrics. Thanks you!
@Skreenify It says fandub there... this is THE best fandub I ever heard. Thank you. The lyrics were maybe a bit too literally translated and sounded weird here and there, but still.. it's great
Holy crap, this is good! The pitch, speed, intonations and strength of your voice all sound on mark to me. The English language doesn't lend itself readily to this kind of speed, though, so it feels a little out of place to me. Still, I like it enough to download it! The sound quality is great, too; shows you took it seriously. Who else thinks this would be perfect for a music video of high-quality cosplayers?!
WTF THIS IS A FANDUBBED OMG if it didn't read the title and discription I would have probably mistook this for some profesional =D. The voice even sounds simular to the origian Japanes dubbed. Great Job =D
Wow!! I'm blown away! This is great!!! Good job!!! FMA FOR LIFE. BEST ANIME EVER (: spent a lot of summer nights watching it with my bro.. now were watching FMA:B.. im gonna missit when its all over.. i cant replace that part of my life:/
I guess you get this a lot, but I'll say it again because it's true - you have an absolutely incredible voice :o I wouldn't be surprised if you get pretty far with it ;) I hope you had some fun singing this, because I know I would, especially at this tempo. Awesome job :3
That was way cool. You can't do perfect translations but this was pretty fluid in English and made the story come out from the word choice. And I did like the speed and voice with it! nice one
Just letting you all know that this is indeed geekymcgeekstein's voice, the original fandub was pitched lower (her range didn't fit the original pitch). This person has taken geekymcgeekstein's fandub and pitched it to it's original pitch (which also sped up the vocals).
Finally I found it! I have been searching for this version for so long! This is the one I listened to as a teenager.. I loved it so much
Man, I came across this song way back. I had yet to get into subbed or originals, so I thought this was the original song and learned these lyrics. I played this song too many times that even 10+ years later I still remember it. As much as I love Yui, I'm kinda attached to this fandub lol
2023 and still chills when I hear this version. Like a lot, I thought it was Yui singing in english. I can say this today, I love you!!!❤❤
Wish everyone would stop complimenting this person. She stole this from Geekymcgeekstein and sped up the voice. She claims she sung it herself but only gives credit for the writing of the lyrics.
She never claims she sings it, she gives credit to Geekymcgeekstein in the description. She just says she sped it up. I prefer this sped up version.
John Thomas Years ago when it was first uploaded she was claiming she sang it and was arguing with Geeky over it. Geeky downloaded the song, slowed the song and lowered the pitch and told her she was full of shit. It still doesn't say anywhere that she isn't claiming to have sung it. She has another song on her profile that she claim is a "cover" and is really the exact same thing. Stolen and edited.
nyerr nyer Oh........Well that's messed up. But i still prefer this one.
nyerr nyer wow they sound like a couple of butthurt bitches lol
Guys chill out. Just because it's her lyrics doesn't mean it's her singing. It's most likely the same lyrics, with her own vocals, just sped up because it sounded better. Just because it's sped up doesn't automatically mean she stole it. Ya'll need to chill and stop jumping to conclusions. Also I can support this by the pitch. Geeky's voice was way to deep, and if it was actually Geeky's audio, it would sound terrible because of the drastic pitch change. The singer of this version started with a high pitch voice.
After not listening to this for over 3 years, I still know every word. Love it. Such a great song!!!!
I will pursue this dream, 'cause I know it's expected that I be serene
Upon this winding road, in the face of the crowds that bustle all around
Although it seems like I am chasing after the past,
What I want is a place where the sky is alive and like home to me
Please try to understand the truth
That this is no choice
And I wish you'd stop with that look of despair
You're giving me
Tears are nothing but the shape of our weakness
And they won't bring any absolution
I do not see an end to this labyrinth
Who am I waiting for~
And I write it down in the pages of my notebook
'Cause I'm looking for the me that is still honest
I am running but I don't even know why
From this reality
To chase my wishes I'll carry on living
And I will always remember the depths of the darkness
I'll face my demons and I'll no longer run away
There isn't a place to go
I'll lose this feeling of being so helpless
'Cause my whole life is ahead of me
I'll quash the numbness
'Cause pain's better than the emptiness
I must apologize, I've really messed up and
I am so ashamed
I may not say it much,
But I know that I make you worry all the time
Back then you always could accept the things I'd done
And you're still the same today so I'll try not to burden you
But try to realize that I have closed my eyes
Just because the world is too harsh
And I'm willing to blind myself
Rumors that they have spread about us
I do not know which was the first one
"We were friends from the second that we met,"
Just stop with the lies already
And my heart turned red with this passion
And it almost consumed my very being
'Cause in truth I'd held onto hope
From this reality
To chase my wishes I'll carry on living
And I really want to scream out, but can you even hear me?
I'll face my demons, and I'll no longer run away
There isn't a place to go
I still am grateful for the care you've shown me
So I'll find the strength to make it count
I'll always move onward
Facing my friends and foes alike
How do you unlock this door that has no key?
Can you think of a way?
We can't go back to the beginning
The story is set, and our destinies too
Open up your eyes
Open up your eyes
I'll lose this feeling of being so helpless
'Cause my whole life is ahead of me
And the things I once abandoned
I want to try and find again
Come on, just one more time
To chase my wishes I'll carry on living
And I really want to scream out, but can you even hear me?
I'll face my demons, and I'll no longer run away
There isn't a place to go
I still am grateful for the care you've shown me
So I'll find the strength to make it count
I'll quash the numbness
'Cause pain's better than the emptiness
Fandub? you sound like the actual person who sung this!
you are amazing! i love it! thank you
I've been listening to this for almost as long as its been on YT, and it makes me happy everytime I hear it, happy that I've lived these years. Happy I've had emotional issues. Happy I've overcome them only to face others. Happy my existence continues
You gotta have a rappers mouth for this!
No u don't I find it easy for those parts x but I can say those fast parts and sing in the same time easily x and make it clear soz I wanna upload my cover but am scared
CuteKawaii Box don't be, you'll get more likes than dislikes
Sam joesbury hmm k
XERO AMV's The vocals were actually stolen from Geekymcgeekstein's video and sped up. The uploader isn't the actual person singing it. She claims she is and is only giving Geeky the credit for the lyrics. It's a shame.
Rapping is actually pretty easy. All u have to do is memorize the lyrics and poof!!!! Instant rap
Admittedly, I was hesitant to click when I saw the word 'fandub', but I'm glad I clicked because I'm incredibly impressed! I could tell where it was a bit sped up too much, however, the passion in the singer's voice was more than enough to make up for it.
Amazing work! I hope I'm fortunate enough to hear more in the future.
I think this is the best one I've heard. Great job! Wishi could sign like that..
* wish I *sing
Elizabeth Dragneel this is just a sped up version of geeky fandubs song same voice
You win epically, with this dub.
You deserve 10 times more views than what you already have!
Wow! This turned out really good!
i have listened this video a million times in some years and i really like it! you're amazing!
Any chance you can get me the original of this version? Its no longer on TH-cam and thats upsetting
unfortunately i made this on a DSi and the original was lost. Hopefully geekymcgeekystein has her work uploaded
ARE YOU KIDDING ME??? DAMN I FELT IN LOVE OF THIS COVEEEER! AMAZING JOB, CONGRATS!
I don't think this person was trying to steal it, I just believe this person didn't make it obvious enough that it was geekymcgeekstein was the one who sang it.

If I was wrong and she was trying to steal it, she is a horrible person that should go find her own ideas.
it is sped up to avoid infringing copyrights, thats how it works
the original Japanese version is sped up in the anime
***** umm no. Its just if its not different pitch or sped up it gets taken down.
Frozenkex that's only if she copyrighted it which she cant because it's already someone else's song
Wickidge no thats not how it works, you can't "copyright" something thats copyrighted, you simply can't post other people's stuff. People who are responsible for some other stuff in some cases simply don't care or bother taking down videos that post their stuff.

omg i remember listening to this sooooo much in middle school! i burned it on a cd and everything! thanks for being such a legend!
people complaining about it being stolen ( I made it faster cause i like how it sounds, idk y so....... dont ask ... ) he might not have put it clearly but he pretty much admitted its geekys I also put this through audacity and yep its geekys version sped up
Seriously this is amazing. You got the lyrics great and you followed the flow of the song perfectly. I love it
Your voice is beautiful!!!!!
It's stolen from geeky fan dubs just sped up
Ok...But she's talking about her voice dude that is really beautiful. We know that is from that geeky dude and is sped up.You don't need to just comment that sh*t everywere.
This is actually a really nice english version.. It translates the original lyrics and still sounds good.. Awesome job.. :)
This is not you, this is made by geekyfandubs, you just made her song fast...
Look at the disclaimer and the title, It says fan-dubbed, and not made or produced by them.
It sounds a lot faster than what I swear it sounds like, but aside, you did a fantastic job with it and I applaud your work. I was trying to sing along with you but my tongue was getting tied into knots. Again, fantastic work.
Why is it so sped up?!
so that is sounds as good all real anime themes are meant to be sung in Japanese because the words are shorter
It sounds better and more action-packed :P
To hide the fact that it was stolen from another Fandubbing artist.
This is my favorite english version of Again by Yui. Good job. :D
This is not even you singing, don't take credit for something that isn't yours.
She only gives credits to geeky for the lyrics. She literally took geekys audio and sped it up.
Brittney Marie Doesn't take a genius to figure out that it's a different singer.
She pronounces and extends the words differently.
Brittney Marie i dont really care i like this better than geekys
Brittney Marie no i swear geekys sounds liek a slowed down version of this -_- this one sounds less tamperd with than geekys
This version is even in SoundCloud, it's not just him taking credits.
Yea this was amazing, your pacing is amazing with how quick you sing the words
horrible editing as far as speeding it up goes
how
*tips fedora*
Beautiful voice on a beautiful song. Great job with syncronizing the english lyrics with the song's syllable structure!
O.O You have a great voice :] props to you for speeding it up, even a little- it already sounds so fast XD
I usually don't like fan-translations of songs but this was awesome!
It really was quite perfect.
Can I marry your voice? :3
Lolz i like this a lot XD dont kno about the rest of yall, but i normally frown on most english fandubs and stuff-but this sounded surprisingly good! the pitch is almost a mirror of the original japanese version, the quality pretty high, and tho the speed is kinda...unnatural (lol), it all rlly works out! Awesome job, whoever put this all together! :D
This is really fabulous. You did a great job with the pace.
Woah skills!
This was really impressive, especially that you were able to keep that pace. Good work
Holy WOW. I usually don't like fandubs but DAMN THAT WAS AMAZING! Whoever sang this.. just wow. You have an incredible voice. All I'm sayin'.
This sounds really REALLY clear. I must say I really like it. Very good job!
Now THAT's faster than I expected to hear it, but it fits fairly nicely. Nice job.
AWESOMENESS!!!!!!! I can now understand my favorite Japanese sung song! Thank you so much for putting this together, the only thing I miss from the origional is the piano/techno feel of the song, but it is amazing to hear it in a way i can understand the lyrics. Thanks you!
I found this video when I was looking for the original song. I love the way you sing this, you have a beautiful voice
oMG!!! you're amazing

Fantastic vocals. Please rectify the English pop scene with your voice
this is soo awsome!! and i'm not a very big fan of fan dubs!!! good work your vocie is so pretty!!

This went strait to the favourites GREAT JOB!
OMFG this is the best fandub i have ever heard!!!!!! I wish i had ur voice, it's so awesome ^.\/
I wasn't expecting much- but WOW! this is really good!
I was unprepared for the epicness of this song, seeing ad most other fandubs suck, but this was fantastic!!
AMAZING FANDUB! oh man.. I've really never heard such a pro fandub. Love It.
@Skreenify It says fandub there... this is THE best fandub I ever heard. Thank you. The lyrics were maybe a bit too literally translated and sounded weird here and there, but still.. it's great
i love the english version fast ^^ i think it sounds a lot better!! but i like the japanese version at normal speed :D! you have a great voice!!
Holy crap, this is good! The pitch, speed, intonations and strength of your voice all sound on mark to me. The English language doesn't lend itself readily to this kind of speed, though, so it feels a little out of place to me. Still, I like it enough to download it! The sound quality is great, too; shows you took it seriously.
Who else thinks this would be perfect for a music video of high-quality cosplayers?!
This is actually a damn good fandub. I'm shocked to have found a good one here on youtube. lol Would love to hear moar from you (*w*
After these years, continue being perfect :)
WTF THIS IS A FANDUBBED OMG
if it didn't read the title and discription I would have probably mistook this for some profesional =D. The voice even sounds simular to the origian Japanes dubbed.
Great Job =D
Wow!! I'm blown away! This is great!!! Good job!!! FMA FOR LIFE. BEST ANIME EVER (: spent a lot of summer nights watching it with my bro.. now were watching FMA:B.. im gonna missit when its all over.. i cant replace that part of my life:/

Nice voice and decent lyrics :D A fandub I can actually bear listening to.
I like how you made it faster. I think it works better :)
I guess you get this a lot, but I'll say it again because it's true - you have an absolutely incredible voice :o I wouldn't be surprised if you get pretty far with it ;) I hope you had some fun singing this, because I know I would, especially at this tempo. Awesome job :3
Oh my God your voice is so gorgeous. I usually hate English Dubs, but this is amazing!
That was way cool. You can't do perfect translations but this was pretty fluid in English and made the story come out from the word choice. And I did like the speed and voice with it! nice one
I love how fast this is. Nice job
Damn girl you're fast. I like it.
she "borrowed it" from someone else
It's not her cover...and she just sped it up :)
I LOVE THIS SONG! Usually when songs are turned into english their not that great but this is pretty good!
