DD'sThoughts:
I fell in love with this track the moment I heard it. The strange and whacky dark-pop instrumentation mixed with pop rock almost hit exactly the type of vibe DEMONDICE strives for, so I had to cover it. Usually I make my own MV with my character in the place of the main characters, but due to the subject matter and story it didn't feel appropriate, so I drew fanart! Like teniwoha, I tried to leave lyrical clues instead of ham-fisting the underlying story and theme, so I had to take some liberties but I do hope you'll enjoy it as it's probably my favorite cover I've ever made, despite not being rap.
side note: i don't care how you pronounce "stamens" im stiCKIN TO WHAT My sCIENce teACHER said-!!
enjoy, everyone!!
---------------------------------------------
ENGLISH LYRICS:
Hateful stares perforate my vision when seen holding hands
Run a rat race- senseless competition, report right back as planned
I’m not a freak of nature
It’s just the way that I’ve matured
Guessing is it “X” or maybe “Y”?
They say tenacious people all have good and evil sides
So they try to convince you I’m here to offend and step all over your pride
Mister Crazy Villain Villain
The remains of a flower that falls in the night
Believe at your expense in my changing fashion sense
All because I’m “masquerading” as a...
Gents and Ladies, Duran Duran
Doctor, take me back to the start if you please
To any passerby that I haven’t met before
In some odd stranger’s story, I’m the villain!!
Villain, villain
Oh
Hated by life
Hate it, but life
Has me gonna watch it all
Burn down
Keepin’ the true nature all a secret- what sex could I be?
Every path leads to endless stamens
But how do I guarantee?
You know the author Ranpo? Only kidding, of course you do.
I was offering you an important clue, imploring and further importing you
It’s said that even the fakest of flowers
Can the bear the sweetest fruit
No need to seem so frightened
Gender isn’t black and white
So let’s talk their ears off about love and despair with no regard to their “wrong and right”
Problem?
Mr. Crazy Villain Villain
Riding high on my possibilities
1LDK inside this still adolescent heart
Let me dance in pure jealousy
Hi! My motto’s Y O L O
Gonna look high and low the while searching for love
The secret side of me that
Society cannot see
Feel obligated to hide
This one goes
Out to all the fallen greatest villains of all time
Guess I better play the role, seeing as I’m a “bad guy”
Cuz right above this callous, fucked-up town a lovely rainbow finally shines
Dancing around and between all the ads and obscenity, in pop-font stands the word “ai”
Oh!
Mister Crazy Villain Villain
The remains of a flower that falls in the night
Believe at your expense in the way that I present
Myself, maybe masquerading as a
Gents and Ladies, Duran Duran...
I have arrived!
To any passerby that ya haven’t met before
In some odd stranger’s story, you’re the villain!!
Villain, villain
Oh hated by life
Hate it but life
Has me gonna watch it all
Burn down.

ORIGINAL LYRICS:
(ご注意ください: オリジナルリリックは和訳ではありません！)
きっと手を繋ぐだけでゾッとされる
馬鹿げた競争（ラットレース）一抜けたら通報される
突然変異（ミュータント）じゃない ただの僕さ
XとかYとか
べき論者様は善悪多頭飼い
僕が君を"侵害"するって言いふらしてる
Oh...
Mr.Crazy Villain Villain
夜行性の花弁
違う服着て君の前では男子のフリする
拝啓 Dr.Durand-Durand
迎えにきて下さい
顔も知らない誰かにとって僕はもうヴィラン
蛇蝎ライフ
挙句の糜爛
逸脱の性（さが）をまたひた隠す
雄蕊と雄蕊じゃ立ち行かないの？
ねぇ知ってんのか乱歩という作家のことを Import you
造花も果ては実を結ぶ
ぶるってんじゃねーよ 多種多様の性
愛（かな）しい哀しい話をしよっか ゼラチン質の
「で？」
Mr.Crazy Villain Villain
可能性に幸あれ
僕のハート１LDK 嫉妬くらいはさせてよ
Hi there モットーYOLO
微熱愛でいいのに
誰も知らない 知られたくない
皮膚の下
素晴らしき悪党共に捧げる唄
骨まで演じ切ってやれ悪辣に
残酷な町ほど綺麗な虹が立つ
猥雑広告に踊るポップ体の愛
Oh Mr.Crazy Villain Villain
夜行性の花弁
違う服着て君の前では男子のフリを！
拝啓 Dr.Durand-Durand
ここだよ
顔も知らない誰かにとって僕はもうヴィラン
蛇蝎ライフ
挙句の糜爛

If y'all ever feel bad about being a "villain", remember: villains always get the best songs
Thanks, kano
That is true
*Spanish guitar theme enters the chat*
I agree 100percent with this
Reminds me of Yoshikage Kira and the Pillar Men
My microwave broke, so I used this smokin' hot fire to heat up my food.
Man that's creative, I'm gonna steal that comment.
I would comment something but i don't think about anything better than this...
We could use this song to replace the sun
Smooth
were you heating up a hot pocket by any chance?
Random fact : Edogawa Ranpo (mentionned at 1:30) is a japanese author known for his mystery novels... But also for his researches about male homosexuality. There's actually some facts that might prove he was gay himself, though he apparently denied it. Just thought it might be an important clue for understanding this song :)
cool, i didn't know that
Bungo Stray Dogs has joined the chat
I didn't know that yet, thanks for the info 🙏
Also fun fact : the name edogawa ranpo is actually Japanese pronunciation of edgar allan poe
The bsd fandom has joined the chat
The "hated by life / hate it, but life" part rlly made me go "woooOAAHAHH WORD PLAY GOOD WORD PLAY EEEEEEEE"
Scru would be proud
Oh my goodness, I just noticed that! That’s so cool!
"it's said that even the fakest of flowers can bear the sweetest fruit" is such a great line I still can't get over it lol
"ai" means love by the way
is such a nice ad-lib
Favorite part 💕
Me too💕
Ai can also mean sorrow.
@@charlizevalencia3065 The subtitles at the bottom use the character 愛, which is love, whereas sorrow would be 哀
@@neanderthal471 Ya, but the fact that the English version did not say "Love" but used "Ai" instead implies a double meaning. Lol.
But you are right. Though both love and sorrow in Japanese is pronounced as "Ai". The Kanji is different.
'That means love, by the way' gets me every time. I love that.
Wow I can’t believe Demondice is the Only Musical Artist Ever how iconic
Some people say this is about a trans (ftm, mtf or nb) person and their struggle with their gender, plus the person they love. Some people say this is about a gay guy that feels guilty for loving another guy. And some people say it's about gender dysmorphia. Either way, this song touches on great points with the line "To the people who doesn't know me, I am already the villain."
(It was the english translation i found in miy_yuu's cover lol)
Indeed, to the close people that doesn't want to understand you and outsiders, you are already the villain from start. Be proud of being a villain.
dysphoria and dysmorphia are not the same thing
@@doublecircus I know, I wasn't sure which one I wanted to talk about and I was too bothered to check it at that time.
If you thing about it it’s actually really messed up that these people(those mentioned above and probably more) are just seen as “villains” in some peoples eyes and are never given a chance. Which can lead to them never being able to be themselves and always trying to fit in and be (massive air quotes) normal (massive air quotes)
I'm like 90% sure this is about somebody who's actually both trans (my personal guess is MTF?) *AND* bi / gay. Since both their gender and their sexuality is leading to them being "villainized." Stared at while holding hands, for how they dress, everything.
@@onettaviator5396 well kind of. The song isn't about one specific person but about the sort of struggles lgbt people (specifically japanese LGBT people) are subjected to in society. The focus is both on attraction and gender and how people who don't conform to society's ideas of normality get judged. That includes trans people but also gender non confirming, gay and bi people.
Holding hands in Japan in and of itself goes against socital standards, PDA in general is frowned upon, so add being LGBT to that and you are bound to be judged by those around you. It's a commentary on how living as yourself openly is still not really posible, especially with the current political views in Japan.
The song is intentionally being vague so anybody in the community can relate to it. If you aren't straight and Cis just living peacefully can feel impossible because the whole world tells you you are the villain.
It makes my heart very warm when I see my favorite content creators supporting LGBT content, thank you for always having such great vibes all around ♡
I know right!!!
「で？」が「problem?」なの有り得んかっこよさで泣いている 良すぎ
I’ve found my nb theme song this pride month, hell yeah
nb gang
"Gender isn't black-and-white" I'm not crying, you are. I love Demondice so much qwq
Oh my gods. Oh my gOds. She gave my comment a heart, she gave my comment a heart 😵😭💕
Uhhhh...
(;_;) !!!
same gurl same.
@@kult_of_kek3225 you
I can't believe translyrics actually means what it sounds like now
lmao yeah
As someone who's described myself as feeling like a villain just for existing for some time now, for reasons similar to the song's topic as well as some others, this hits close to home...
Wonderful delivery as usual, too. Will be listening to this on loop for a good while~
Same tbh
Ikr? Its soooooo well done! I didn't actually know this song before I found it here but 1 google search later and I realized why it was so relatable. Tbh I still can't believe she chose to cover a song about *that* (I'm glad she did though)
hihhaheha i want to be one
狂ったようにヴィラン聴きまくってくる日本人だけど最高でした
語感がどこか似ていて訳に無理がなく、かつお洒落で、どうしても文字が詰まってしまうところも見事に歌われていて素敵です
特に最後の"you're the villan"がすごく刺さりました
これを英語で伝えられる程の語学力がないので日本語で失礼しました
It's entirely fine, Google added the ability to preform basic translations, I'm sorry I can't read or write Japanese.
2番のオリジナルラップパートめちゃすこ
カレンさん…ありがとうございます…
大好きな歌なんです…
ほんとにありがとうございます…(悶絶)
日本人見つけたぁー！今日カレンさん(？)のこと初めて知って情報ないかなァと探してたら見つけました……
ぴちぴちさーもん様
カレンさんはいいですよぉ( ⸝•ᴗ•⸝)♡
ALKATOLAZZと、NISEMONOGANGSTA-が個人的におすすめですよ！
@@user-lo8kx8od7v ありがとうございます😭🙏聞いてきますっ！
日本人、
え？息継ぎどこ…どこ…？凄すぎないですか…？
それな
あの難しめな日本語を英語に起こすってだけで大変だろうに
それを更に歌っちゃうなんてすごい
えっ、まっ、ﾌﾞｧ！？
カレンさんうたってくれないかな〜まぁ無理かなぁ〜〜とか思ってたら通知ヴィランきててﾌｧｯてみたらガチでした夢じゃなかったありがとうございますThank you…
途中のラップ口調流石だし、やっぱ声が良い…
半年ぐらい誤字気づかんかった()
Me when June:
THIS IS NOW THE THEME OF PRIDE MONTH THIS YEAR, SORRY, I DON'T MAKE THE RULES!
It is up there with magnet in the LGBTQ+ Vocaloid hall of fame.
WE MAKIN IT OUTTA THE GENDER BINARY WITH THIS ONE 🗣️🗣️🔥🔥🔥
2:34 "that means love by the way" lmao thanks
I love this cover. The lyrics actually amplify the original’s meaning that got lost on literal translation, and your voice is really nice with the vibe!!! Great job, I’m gonna check more of your stuff out~~
"In some stranger's story, I'm the villian"
So true..
Yeah, in mine
I HATE YOU I HATE YOU I HATE YOU I HATE YOU I HATE YOU I HATE YOU
just came out as non-binary, remembered this song and came back to it. god it hits so much harder now.
Edit: currently sliding into fem, this song will never not be relatable!
TH-cam you betrayed me. Me clicking that bell icon is my proof of trust that I'm willing to leave to you the important job of telling me when Karen uploads a video, you gave me nothing! I just saw this a week after upload. A WEEK!
大好きと大好きが合わさって大好き……(？)
歌ってくださりありがとうございます😭🙏
Thanks for giving us villainized trans folk an absolute banger to make us feel proud about it!
You keep being amazing you bestie!
I've written about this song for English class because it'll always be my favorite! It means so much to me as a non binary person. Demondice also inspired me to start digital art.
Yeah this song helped me realise my gender identity. I hope more people find this song, whether this or the original
私の好きな歌を
大好きなカレンさんが歌ってる👏😭♥️
**steps onto stage**
**grabs mic**
**clears throat**
*T R A N S R I G H T S*
Thanks for coming to my Ted talk. Good day.
Do you mind if i ask if this is a jfj reference
You're welcome!
@@BELURATBEASTS I dont think so? Lmao
Lol
T r a n s r i g h t s
HEY KAREN. FOR ONE YOU DIDN'T HAVE TO ABSOLUTELY GO OFF WHILE MAKING THIS (BUT I'M VERY GLAD THAT YOU DID!!! THIS COVER IS BEAUTIFUL I CAN TELL I'M GONNA HAVE THIS ON REPEAT FOR WEEKS!!!) BUT FOR TWO, HOW DID YOU MANAGE TO POST THIS RIGHT WHILE I WAS TALKING TO SOMEONE ABOUT THE MAIN VILLAIN IN AN AU I MADE......?
OMG these lyrics are SO relatable since I'm non binary 😭 Tysm for this beautiful song!
本家の感じは全く崩さず、
英語でのヴィランがひしひし伝わります
かっこよすぎます。好きです。
Amazing cover! The themes hit really close to home
Wow, I listened to miy_yuu's cover of this and immediately searched for an english cover and found this. I'm so glad that I did, because this is amazing and I love your voice so much. I can't wait to listen to more of your covers!
Trans rights are human rights.
happy pride month all, been listening to this obessively lately, can never get enough of it
In my experience, it's rare to see someone support trans people who isn't too afraid of offending people to actually make something like this. I like it.
I fucking love the use of colour in the text and the images, aaa
colour theory is amazing, and the fact that you put it to such good use here is yet another reason why i'm subbed, woah
Demon dice needs so much more appreciation for the great work because this is some seriously good shit
I’m glad they got picked up by Hololive last year
AMAZING COVER
but also
t r a n s r i g h t s
Thanks Ruby
You saying trans rights like that reminds me of jfj screaming T R A N S R I G H T S in the middle of the night during a stream
1:48が言葉で表現できんけどめっちゃ好き
Wow didn't know how much I related to this song until the English translation, I mean I loved it before but now its my anthem
As always DemonDice does a great thing with their original songs.
It's a cover :/ Also Karen is a woman.
Thanks for enjoying! It’s not an original though, it’s an English cover. The original version is linked in the description! :)
DEEPFOXJUDE “Lady”? “May I”? You sound like you’re wearing a fedora but go off I guess
@@franklinlewis1097 They may have been awkward about it but being polite shouldn't be grounds for harassment.
DEMONDICE KAREN i mean yeah buuuut you still covered it which im thankful for as listening to japanese is cool but understanding the lyrics even better!
I adore these covers. I like the theme of breaking through societal norms and insincerity. Honestly, if that's what bring a villain is I think we could use some more villains. Luckily, we have someone like DemonDice to keep it real. Looooove the art for the MV. As always, it's to die for. I'm in love eith this style. And your singing was perfect as usual. Another 10/10 cover.
Absolutely love this cover, and the lyrics feel like they fit very naturally with the flow of the song. Demondice said TRANS RIGHTS
日本人の私も聞き入ってしまう....最高です！✨✨勢いのある声と途中のラップは鳥肌がたちました....ほんと大好きです🥰
I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR AN ENGLISH COVER,, MY CROPS ARE WATERED, MY SKIN IS CLEAR, THIS TRACK IS FIRE
WOOOO 1 MILLION VIEWS REACHED BEFORE THE END OF THE YEAR! 👏👏👏
I genuinely almost cried listening to this, it gave me goosebumps.. this is one of the best English covers I've ever heard. I adore Teniwoha and the original song, and hearing it interpreted into English so well has put me into shock lol, I absolutely love this 💖
This is me when in the end of the dungeon and dragons game I broad cast this song, me singing how I betray them.
yoo what this a really great cover-
wait by the way is this song about trans/lgbtq?? If it is, that’d be so cool since I’m trans and I haven’t seen many songs about lgbtq stuff-
@Floris Aleska same, I was trying to search for that song
@@miya4839 one eyed ripper murder case???
@@victoriawhitcomb6475 thanks but it's not that one
It was not a vocaloid song but a song made by some Japanese singer with a highschool theme
idk if you're still here but if anyone's reading this and wants another trans vocaloid recommendation: 神様、わたしの性別間違えてます。(God Mistook My Gender) by SLAVE.V-V-R is a really good one!!! they're such a good vocaloid producer in general i recommend them from earth to back
luna thank you for the recommendation!! i’ll definitely look into them!
Okay, I love her even more now that I've found this masterpiece
I found that Edogawa Ranpo, a Japanese writer and the one they mention in this song, had written about Same-sex relationships, and it really powers the meaning of this song.
After all this time, still my favorite rendition of this song
I'm a bit mad that I didn't find this cover sooner. Didn't know DDK was so based. Nice work.
I'm really sad that I've only found this now, because it slaps so fucking hard. And it has a cool underlying message to boot.
This song gave me intense feelies and now that i understand the lyrics better, the feelies have been magnified,,, Thank you so much, Karen, i love this a lot. ;v;
this is *illegally* good.
Guys remember, the hero will sacrifice you for the world but a villan will sacrifice the world for you
I love your take on the song here. The style of it is really fun and I like the conveyed story along with it. How you projected it was pretty fantastic as well! I give it a 666 out of 10. Turns out you're an ace too, dear demon. ♥
I have ADHD and people always picture me as a villain in games and school and what people don't understand is saying that doesn't change anything for the better it changes for the worse you become deprresed and learn to hate yourself always show love to people you don't know what anyone is going through unless they tell you
Not only a banger but a stunning translation interpretation! Instantly followed!
めちゃめちゃかっこよくて好き……
Honestly I wasn't sure when clicking on the video because I really like the original song, but you did a really good job this is really cool sounding
ところどころのアレンジが素晴らしすぎます……「知ってんのか〜」のところの抑揚の付け方大好きです……
it brings me to tears to know that i am both understood and supported by the people i look up to. thank you
when i listen to this song with out watching the video i like to think the word Masquerading in this song is said as "Masc-erading" cause why not
I think that's purposeful due to it being right before a loud "GENTS"
I could already tell this song is about to get stuck in my head for weeks just by the first 10 seconds and fantastic cover btw
was looking for an english cover, beyond satisfied
ヴィランのカバーすごいかっこいいです！！
歌詞やMIXなどを1人でやっててびっくりしました……
Wow you did an awesome job in both keeping the original meaning and making the lyrics sound natural!
Ive been WAITING for someone to do a cover of this and I'm SO glad its you. Nailed it!!!!
I heard the lyrics as “Hated by life, hated Bud Light”, and even though I knew it was wrong, I still nodded along, like “hell yeah”.
This is one of the best covers I have ever heard! :D
Was blasting this on the way to my first HRT appt~ 💖
天才では…？
かっこいい…
Playing this on repeat because the rap part at 1:29 caught me by surprise despite the many times I listened to the original version of the song. Amazing cover!
めっちゃカッコいい！
I LOVE THIS COVER!!I also love the ”That(aka ai) means love by the way” that was put in there.
初見です！え？まさか英語versionが来るなんて…
歌も上手いし、オリジナル(?)のイラストも最高です！ヴィランの曲がよりカッコよくなったと思います！
There's so many great lines in this version, I'm amazed. I could quote even just one of the first ones: "I'm not a freak of nature; it's just the way that I've matured" but that'd do a disservice to all the other ones, notably the ones where you make words overlap from one sentence to the next that work so well, the "hated by life" changed the second time around, and all the parts that are spoken (on Rampo, on the word ai (that was hilarious) or the simple "Problem?").
I love it; and also, thank you so much for your care doing this, and the simple fact that you did. It means a lot.
gorgeous cover!!
Man, being the villain has never felt as good as this. This fire is now my main theme
ラップが上手なカレンさんが英語Ｖｅｒ．作ってるからこそ語の数が本来より多くなってるはずなのになんの違和感もなく聞けて嬉しいです。ありがとうございます。
めっっっっっっちゃカッコいい！！！
This is by far my favorate cover by DEMONDICE, and I applaud the bravery of singing something on this subject!
literally the "stunning and brave" meme
This is so good!!! What an amazing work
Ok if that ain’t the coolest lyric flow I’ve heard-
I can't believe i missed this, love the cover and translation of the lyrics!
You went all the way off on this one dude!!! Imma have this one on repeat all week!!!
Man I keep finding your songs *exactly* when I need to.
I just found your music randomly on Spotify and I am so impressed! Everything I've heard is *chef's kiss* and I hope you keep making great music for years to come!
What a pleasant find.
You are slowly becoming one of my favorite musicians now, just about everything in this channel is awesome!
Went through a rabbit hole and found this channel just yesterday.
I'm in love ❤
What an amazing cover! I love what you did with the lyrics too
I'm never getting this out of my head now, amazing!!
