I like how in the English version it presents her as a witch who wants things her way for the most part. In the Japanese version it shows her as a fun girl who wants to be friends with everyone ((In my opinion))
I heard that she is 8 in japan but much older in the other states, if that is true than this might explain the change of lyrics and personality in both version.
Dame, I didn't realize the lyrics in Ashley's theme were completely different in the Japanese version. I wonder why they changed it in the English version.
1:1 translations don't always work, especially for songs where rhythm and rhyme are very important. Two languages don't have all the same words, and the words that have the same meaning will still often have different sounds and syllable counts. The same thing happens when an English song is translated to another language.
@@terpsidance. Yes but at the same time the songs protagonist may aswell be totally different characters with how differently they're presented. Rythem heaven managed to translate the lyrics to the songs there while keeping up the same general feelling and tone so why couldn't they do the same here? I'm sure if they wanted to be faithful they could've found a way to change around the lyrics while keeping up similar feel. But instead they just decided go and do their own thing. Not that I'm complaining both songs are bops.
@@guythatdosethingssometimes2651 I'm not familiar with any rhythm heaven songs having lyrics, aside from the one or two words the characters say, so I'd need an example of a rhythm heaven song with lyrics to understand what you mean.
@@terpsidance. I'd say the translations for fan club on ds and karate man in fever are pretty good examples. Fan club is more or less translated pretty directly translated for better or worse but still flows relatively well. And while Karate man does swap around lines and the phrasing of certain parts it still communicates the same general meaning as the original. Point being: changing almost everything about the song wasn't the only option. they just decided to characterize Ashley differently all on their own.
fun fact: if you speed up and spin the disc fast or whatever it says "made in warioware" so the "i have granted kids to hell" thing might be intentional .-.
Jp: Ashley is a famous witch who want friends
English: Dark magic witch who isn’t afraid to kill you

Ashley in JP: cute and kawaii
Ashley in USA: *EMO AND DEPRESSED*
But the one in USA is better with magic,this one forgets her spells
Yeah, They turned her into a Wednesday Adams clone in the USA.
@@tertokisNO! She seems better than USA Ashley actually.
Kawaii means cute actually..
Sounds more like the japanese version is the depressed one
JP Ashley sounds so cute
i love this!
it's the actual literal translation.
the dub of it thats in SSBB is a bit diff.
fitz erberlin It’s completely different. I’m not sure which I like better.
The reason the Brawl dub version's different is because... Ashley is completely different between regions

Is a tvtrope thing.
America is epic or something like that.

This is literally the best song in the game, Don’t @me😤
I agree,this is lit😼
I love God.
We're married.
God's my soulmate and true love.
I hope.
why do the lyrics move in so slowly? it's really delayed, makes it hard to sing along...
That's me.
I'm Satan.
Thanks for using hiragana!
Yep i get what you ment like 3 or 4 parts were right. But your on your way and thats a good thing to know
Japanese Ashley sounds more sympathetic. The English singers have better voices though IMO
Ashley is supposed to be like 8 years old
@@Antronix33 well she's 15
Neat I got the 10000th view
woah they turned into such a brat in the EN version, much like Noctis lol thank god i can understand a bit of spoken japanese through my mom
Yeah, They turned her into a Wednesday addams clone for the English version.
US is more Watamote while the Japanese version gives me Irisu Syndrome vibes.
Naka is this 中
