Lyrics:
August 15th at 12 afternoon
Not a single cloud had stained the sky so bright and blue
Such a mellow hue
Those days with nothing to do I had sat within the park so calmly next to you
And swaying to and fro we had chatted softly burning through our youth
“But I’m done… I really hate the summer sun.”
You said and softly pet a cat you found on the streets of the town looking down on your luck
Ah, the cat had broken from your arms
And chasing after it you found yourself in the street there as well as the traffic lights had showed that you had gone too far
Suddenly the streets were painted red
As I screamed at the stain that used to be my friend
Sweet you had smelled to me now blood dripping agony
It strangled my mind and every thought intensely
Haze of lies sunk deep so far beneath the eyes
Turned and laughed as the clouds had covered the sky
Cries of cicadas now had died in their final bow
The world around me was twisted as I broke out
Worn out in my bed I had woke
From a dreadful sleepless night more real than I know
Where’d the hours go?
August 14th at 12 afternoon not a single cloud had stained the sky so bright and blue
My mind was shaken to the core by cicadas loudly singing out of tune
But you know, is all this really how it goes?
It was just yesterday, I had a really strange kind of dream of us two on this road
No, I think it’s time we’re going home
And then the second that we turned around on the street going down there were screams as something fell upon us running bellow
All around the pipes they all were falling down
As they broke through your body pressed into the ground
Chimes of a summer day had mixed with the ripping pain
The screams and the agony I couldn’t burn away
Laughing on as if it all was just a game
As his eyes shining bright pierced deftly through the haze
Light fading out of sight I turned to what’s left behind
The thought alone there had given me a peace of mind
Time again my heart was swallowed by the heat
As you died a thousand times just barely out of reach
Tens of years it seems we never win
But in truth I know the story ends where it begins
In this story that’s as simple as it seems
There was only ever just this ending we could reach
Somewhere far beyond this summer day again we’ll meet
Suddenly I push you out from in the street
While the truck bearing down had trampled all the heat
Shocked you had turned to me the blood dripping agony
It strangled your mind as you had cried so helplessly
Laughing on the spite had clouded up my eyes
It’s the game you had made it only serves you right
Praying it all would end I look to your side again
The summer days each had withered all away then
August 14th at 12 afternoon there the girl awoke again the sky still burning blue
What an ugly hue
“Guess I failed again” she had cried as she pet the cat that softly clung onto her side
if jin sees this ily

PLOT TWIST: JIN WAS THE KILLER ALL ALONG.
Children record?
@@otakutailgirl7468 LOL I see it!
Jin 's name is written on the truck-
3:06-3:08 😂
Spotify??
Remember kids, don’t go outside on August 14th or 15th, don’t trust cats on August 14/15, and just don’t do anything. Sit on your bed.
Am I safe if it's winter for me?
Well considering August is summer, then yes, you’re fine.
But.... what about the scissors?
doesnt that mean we can be stuck in a time loop and we can win the lotterey by avoiding death repeatedly?
What if school starts on that day?

These lyrics hit me like a truck and I love them
Same
Heh heheh. Hit like a truck.
did you just--
There's a uhhh *truck* load of content here
Isekai time bitch
so they both are in a constant time loop trying to save each other? holy shit
Did no one think to have them die together if that happened they would likely end the loop since no ones there to lose utho it would also result in their permanent death
@@CoCofi8103One might not want to die
@@ryokunoko3158They both seems to most likely kill themselves to save the other from the loop, so yea, it might work… But we have actually no real idea about how many time they’ve ACTUALLY spent in the loop, Hibiya seems to remember 10 years, but that doesn’t count Hiyori’s loop, and let’s think about it, they remember each time the other died but not each time they died, so the loop might be even longer than we think 😭
@@CoCofi8103 It looks like they don't know the other is in the loop, judging by the end of the song after he jumps in front of the truck
And they both only remember their failures-
I just love the lyrics "as the traffic lights had showed that you had gone too far". It's the moment where the entire narrative just turns around in the span of a second.
Oooooo
It is seldom that I like another translator's version over Juby's, but this is one of those times.
"But I'm done, I really hate the summer sun" The emotion from this is one that kind of leads you farther in than "Hey but I don't really like the summertime"
Also the detail of the cat and the "looking down on your luck" gives more context to the story.
"The stain who used to be my friend" is so impactful; it gives the instantaneous "Used to be" to a situation. This is no longer your squashed friend, this is a stain that used to be your friend.
"My mind was shaken to the core" I like it. It's deeper than just "I hear the sound of... ringing in my head"
"The screams and the agony I just couldn't burn away / like this all was just a dream" This is a hit to the gut. Its pace gives the lyric panic and really makes it pop out.
"Shocked you had turned to me the blood dripping agony" That gives emotion in 2 points of view, it helps the listener understand what the narrator and spectator are feeling.
"Laughing on the spite had clouded up my eyes" This is addressed directly to who I'll call the "game guy" because he's never fully identified. He's shocked with the decision, and it makes the character laugh.
"It's the game you had made it only serves you right" This is a point of climax in the song where the most emotional impact is felt. This line is impactful because it's meant to frustrate the spectator, and that is its only purpose.
Please don't take this as an insult to Juby, I love Juby's music, I just liked this version of this song more.
Just enjoy the song holy fuck dude
@@KoiiUpstream No need to be rude. I personally like comparing covers of songs especially when it's between two of my favourite creators that do covers. He has valid points and is definitely enjoying the song if he is willing to look even deeper into it.
btw the guy that dies at the end is named hibiya and the girl is named hiyori
@@dylan-ii9kc youre gonna make me cry again
I agree with you. Damn feels

When Will said 'friend' it sounded like bread
*burn my bread intensifies*
I will burn my bread!
Is-- is that a Persona reference--
@@yomogisaaaato4418 You tell me :)
@@infernooverdrive7485 Persona Daze crew!
Or would it be Persona Project? Maybe Persona Days? Idk
Kick back, relax, and watch two kids get killed over and over again while stuck in a time loop. Just your typical day. 😊
(Will, you SLAYED this!)
Re:zero who
*Len intensifies*
My first thoughts were how much like ReZero this song is lol
okabe rintarou: first time?
@@turtlenuggs5677 did no one else get re minded of the world end's with you vibe's from this?
Holy s#it I just realised the protagonists from neo and the protagonists in this have the exact same hair cut to a T
Just realised if you play wills and jubys covers of this on loop one after the other then you get the effect of them basically watching each other die for how ever long you have it on for.
(like when one 'breaks the loop' it goes to the other trying to break it aswell and every time they think they've succeeded it just repeats with the other person)
It's so sad oof
Kagerou Days was my very first exposure to the Project over eight years ago. Hearing you cover it has brought my soul an immeasurable amount of peace I had no idea I needed.
I am crying nostalgic tears.
Thank you Will, and Thank you David.
*Daze
@@elinacarmina3050
Actually, it is "days."
The project itself is Kagerou "Daze," but this song specifically is "Days"
@@nightngale4778 No, it's not. It's always been Daze. I actually bought the books, and they all say Daze. Do some gosh darn research.
Elina Carmina their not talking about the books tho their talking about the project and the song itself not the book/light novel and manga
Well jeez now I'm crying too
I finally know the lyrics in english ❤ Love your jin covers :)
@WholeWheatPete found! Nice to see. you here, too!
Holy shit hi Pete long time no see
chat we've known the lyrics. also no way i just found one of your comments from 4 years ago 💀
Hey
Recommend this on August 15. I think TH-cam is sending me a warning..
qwq
Influx of viewers around August 14-15 so it makes sense
TH-cam is gonna hit you with a truck
Rip
8月の日本ではこれがカラオケランキングに載ります
the youtube captions for 'as I screamed at the stain that used to be my friend' are 'the head that used to be my parakeet' and I think this is very important information
Write that down WRITE THAT DOWN
Changes the narritive a good bit huh?
i love youtube comments
I can't. Every time I hear the lyrics, instead of "As I screamed at the stain that used to be my friend" I hear "As I screamed at the stain that used to be my *'bread'* "
Literally still as sad as the orignal lyrics tbh
@@anobody2755 RIP Bread. Crushed by Jin's Truck-kun 🍞🪦💐
I keep hearing it as "As I screamed at the stain that used eat my bread."
3:15
Those voice cracks really give the song even more of a dramatic feel
1:02, keep hearing
"As I screamed at the stain that used to be my bread"
Now I can’t stop hearing that.

*s a m e*
Great now look what u done WE ALL HEAR IT
I heard "as the screamed heard that used to be my friend"
🤔
NOOO MY BREAD :(
Truck-kun is getting too much love, can you do My Funny Weekend so that people see the value that Hiyori has?
yeeeeeeeeeeee
Hiyori's annoying lol but okay
@@val_ue I changed my mind on her, at least a bit. She never got too much development other than being Hibiya's friend. (I think at least, I haven't finished the manga or started on the light novels.) But My Funny Weekend shows a different side of her, that I think is quite admirable. Sure she is annoying, but we at least have her perspective on things.
@@tsopaira I don't hate her lol, she is a very strong and likeable character but she's annoying
@@val_ue Ahh okay
This song would be perfect to do the perspective swap like you did for Lost Time Memory. Especially with how this song ends with Hiyori waking up and doing the same thing.
I'd always been confused by the dates changing, but thing I just realized: the original hit-by-a-truck death took place in the real world on August 15th, which is what the initial loop that determined how the rest would go mimicked. Within the subsequent timeloop/groundhog day/illusion/Kagerou Daze the deaths were fake-happening on August 14th.
This seems obvious, but the switch baffled me for a while! I didn't realize it was because the date the pocket dimension used was different than the real world. Just another way to add to the unreality of it.
Also, I like think that since his timeloop was her death and stopped by saving her at his own expense, Hiyori's version of loop (after the initial death) was her dying by saving him (by pushing him out of the way or whatever else was applicable to the situation) and when he switched their places, it changed her timeloop to being *unable* to save him from dying, so she had what his was- except she couldn't do anything about it.
It'd also be interesting if the both shared the inital one of her dying by mistake om the 15th, which is why all of hers afterward were of dying and all of his were of watching her die. Maybe it made her decide to do everything in her power to prevent that from happening to him :^)
(Or maybe hers didn't start at all until her switched their positions-who knows!)
god the MV for this is great. the subtle thing like Hiyori's smile when we see her get run over which implies that the time loop is well, also time looping, basically looping between Hiyori and Hibiya.
There’s also how she rushed passed him when she saw the beams falling down as if she were taking his place
At 2:09 you can see Hibiya got his cheek cut by one of the metal poles, she barely got to save him
This is by far my favorite English version of this song, wow. My favorite line in the other versions was always "what you see is exactly what you're gonna get", but these lyrics in this video? I have actual goosebumps, which no other version has given me. I applaud you sir
re watching this they give alot of fore shadowing with her saying "im done i really hate the summer sun" in the 1st loop to her willingly throwing herself into the pipes then smiling afterwards in the 2nd loop
I never really listened to the lyrics (I just vaguely knew what happened) and now that I have I'm in tears
Lyrics: "Time again my heart was swallowed by the heat"
Subtitles: *Thomas followed by the commute*
Lyrics: "Tens of years it seems we never win"
Subtitles: *Sans a visit even never win*
Pretty sure the subtitles are trying to say something.
@ABIGAIL DETWILER *Hold on-*
((Get dunked on.))
Still love hibiyas "screw you cat" from the anime
Holy-
How does anyone write these amazing lyrics out of a jumbled mess of English translations?? Bravo Will, bravo.
Also your voice is amazing, keep up the amazing work, love ya!
This song embodies “i can’t win”
"I can't win, but I can lose so someone else will win."
"As I scream at the stain that used to be my friend" WOA great cover!
ahh I get it. Every time one of them "saves" the other, their memories are reset because they aren't the ones in the loop anymore.
These are like really good lyrics, holy cow. It's almost impossible to find English covers that aren't awkward with too many jammed syllables or emphasis on the wrong syllable. I'm shocked this is really good!
I absolutely love this song, the story how the girl actually the same and save the guy, basically saving each other w no other way
THIS IS BEAUTIFUL! Also, kudos to David! Every lyrics he's written for you sounds very poetic and not to the point of it seeming awkward sounding!
Yay I get to see hibiya and hiyori suffer once again :;)))
Amazing cover tho haha.
FINALLY kagerou project's best song and my fav song. Thanks will
My favorite Kagerou project song! I’m so happy you covered it. Your voice was amazing as always. I think this is my favorite cover by far. Thank you, this song means a lot to me. Lots of love. 💕

DID YOU JUST-
the truck of feels that will hit them?
if so, then yes!! :D
Turns out they're the only things that hug you.
最高。めっちゃかっけ
How is it, I've listened to almost EVERY version of this song SINCE IT CAME OUT, and ONLY JUST NOW did I realize that when Hiyori was impaled, Shintaro and Ene saw it happen.
Oh!
I WAS SO INTRESTED IN THE VIDEO I FORGOT I WAS LISTENING TO A COVER OH MY GOD THAT WAS SUCH A TWIST
This is my favorite kagerou project song ever!!!! Great cover!

Stumbling upon this for the first time, and holy shit do I want to see an anime like this!

Subscribing just for this, your voice is incredible and it flows so well. This isn't an easy song but you did it near perfectly

Time to watch this on loop just for irony!!!
Damn, that face on 3:13 and 3:21 looks so cool.

lets all truly remember to not die on August 15th
it's that time of year again
"But I'm done. I hate the summer sun." - Everyone in Las Vegas
No idea what this song was before you adapted it, but I love it.
Its part of a series of songs called Kagerou Project. Which is also a light novel, manga, and anime. (The anime is called Mekakucity Actors but i wouldnt recommend watching it first cuz its poorly done and makes no sense)
that wording prowess though!! *spinny hearts emoji*
Probably one of your best covers so far
Happy August 15th!!
I still have this song in my phones files and I'm proud to say that here before it was famous
Ah I found it!!! I've been looking for this song for years! I wish I could tell him that I have the name now
I’ve seen jubyphonic version before but yours works really well as well
Welcome back, everybody.
bro this was epic. amazing job on the lyrics
Yes! Truck-kun's song, finally!
The song lyrics impaled my heart
Happy Kagerou Day everyone!
We still going strong even after all these years!
Aug. 15, 2021 ;)
Happy Kagerou Day once again my friends!
Seems we're still here together through all the pain and heartache life throws at us.
Let's keep pushing forward to see another tomorrow, okay?
