Me and you, super-sonic. You're the gin inside my tonic. No doubt, no doubt I'm a you-aholic. Even if we're just talking, back off with that speed of yours. My heart can't take the pressure. Not a second to think, I have to avoid your first move. I'm so mesmerized by you. Yes it's too late already, I can't see anything but you. I'mma outta control. What to do, when with you?

Infinite - Be Mine

I witnessed everything, the love we had, and our farewell. Instead of being in pain, this is better. Look at me, now. Because I don't want you to cry. Being hurt gets so exhausting, when I see you just like that. Come and be mine. Did you know I loved you? (Oh~) Did you know I worry? (Oh~) I will take care of you, until the end. Come and be mine. Do you know me the best? (Oh~) Have you been watching me? (Oh~) I swear to protect you, until the end. (Do you hear me?) (Do you hear me?) Your eyes that're tearful and upset, I hope I can put them to rest. Tryin' to protect you, it's the least I can do, For the person who listened to her tears falling down. They're overflowing now, these emotions that you're holding. My heart starts to shrink as your pain keeps growing. Come to me, now. Because I love when you smile. I'll make you feel so much better. I can do this much for you. Come and be mine. Did you know I loved you? (Oh~) Did you know I worry? (Oh~) I will take care of you, until the end. Let's go right now. Don't walk down a hard path. (Oh~) It wasn't easy, right? (Oh~) I don't ever want to see that again. Come and be mine. Did you know I loved you? (Oh~) Did you know I worry? (Oh~) I will take care of you, until the end. So, this time, will you fight? Or will you be hurt again? Inside the cycle full of our pain, The war's always silent, but that's too much for you. I'll protect you with all of my worries. I'll surround you just like the moon in the dark sky. Your love's light has been turned off, so leave it to me for now. I'll cover up all your scars and make you forget. And finally, I'll make you become mine.

Miss A - Goodbye Baby

Good bye, baby goodbye. Just turn around and keep walkin' forward, don't look back. Don't say anything, no excuses, just disappear and don't ever come back. Baby, good bye. Good bye. My name isn't Suzy, you should know that. But you kept calling me Suzy without a thought. I should've noticed it at that time. Why did I- Why did I make myself believe in you, boy? (I saw just what kind of man you were.) Don't cry in defeat. (I threw everything of you away.) Cut the crap, your act is done. Good bye, baby goodbye. Just turn around and keep walkin' forward, don't look back. Don't say anything, no excuses, just disappear and don't ever come back. Good bye, baby good bye. I'll say that it was fun, that I enjoyed everything. And so at this point, right here and now, you've been caught red-handed and it's over. Baby, goodbye. Goodbye. Whenever my friends all tried to warn me, I should've listened, I should've took their advice. Why did I never catch that small glimpse, or those looks, that all told me you were never a good guy. (The act that you put on was perfect.) It was amazing. (It was so good that in the end, I-) I was really crying, boy. Good bye, baby goodbye. Just turn around and keep walkin' forward, don't look back. Don't say anything, no excuses, just disappear and don't ever come back. Good bye, baby good bye. I'll say that it was fun, that I enjoyed everything. And so at this point, right here and now, you've been caught red-handed and it's over. Baby, goodbye. Goodbye. Not a single sound-single sound came from you as you were playing with me. Just like a snake, you managed to play it fake just by acting like a smoothy. It was a great show, and one of the best. Thanks to you, I got a free ticket. Got in for free and had a good seat. But it's still No, and now it's Bye Bye. (The act that you put on was perfect.) It was amazing. (It was so good that in the end, I-) I was really crying, boy. Good bye, baby goodbye. Just turn around and keep walkin' forward, don't look back. Don't say anything, no excuses, just disappear and don't ever come back. Good bye, baby good bye. I'll say that it was fun, that I enjoyed everything. And so at this point, right here and now, you've been caught red-handed and it's over. Baby, goodbye. Goodbye.

Rewriting 101 - What's In A Rewrite.

Welcome to the first of our little dubbing how-to's. This first one will mainly focus on the basics of dubbing and the differences between the two styles of rewrites. A fandub, rewrite, fancover, whatever you want to call it, should be more than just a translation. There are two styles of writing when it comes to dubbing lyrics.

1: Beat - Just like it's named, it involves rewriting to the beat of the song. This is best done with an instrumental. Obviously, whatever the outcome of it is will be uniquely yours. There are no two beat writes that are alike due to how people interpret music. The cues will be different for you than for anyone else. There's also a lot more freedom when it comes to word choice since you're not nearly as constrained, however, writing by beat makes it near impossible to follow if you ever show anyone your rewrite.

2: Syllable - To put it plainly and simply -- matching and counting syllables. This is the style we use and it's best done with vocals. This is also, without a doubt, the harder style to write in, as your word choice is limited to syllable counts and you're constrained in what you want to say. If you're doing a full write-off, this isn't so bad. When you plan on keeping the same message as the song, though, things get pretty tricky. Luckily, English is a very flexible language and there's hundreds of ways to convey things. Pretty much any language can be successfully rewritten into English. Our resume alone includes Korean, Russian, Chinese, Thai, Japanese, Spanish, German, and Vietnamese. Some languages are obviously easier. Chinese, for example, is fairly simple to write for due to the fact that every 'word' is a single syllable long. Russian is more annoying, since Russian words can contain an ungodly amount of syllables. This sometimes leads to awkward lines. The main problem when it comes to syllable rewriting is in keeping the message of the song without making it sound plain stupid.  There are times when you have to shorten a line, losing its entire meaning, or other times where there are too many syllables and you have to extend it. Typical extensions can include 'Baby, Lady, Girl,' etc. When you see those in a rewrite, it's usually used as an extension to finish off a line. To properly do a syllable rewrite, one has to listen to the same line over and over until the lyrics pop into their head. From there, it's a constant battle between phrasing and rephrasing the same thing in the small space you have.

That's basically it for the introduction. Next time, I'll have some tips for beat rewriting and I'll try to explain the thought process behind wording and how to retain the message of a song through a syllable rewrite. Until then~

Berryz Koubou - Ai no Dangan

Through the heart, Love's bullet. Even though I'm aiming directly at your heart. You always seem to dodge it every time. A lovely opening. This is a story that's only just beginning. But, I know for sure that I'll steal your heart. This great weather just continues. I'm in a great mood too. With you walking right next to me, I would go anywhere. A sparkling, bright smile. A clever use of words. Even though you ride a Harley, There's not a scratch I can see. It was just one time. I just told a little lie. Saying that I've had more than one kiss, But that it's all in the past. Through the heart, Love's bullet. We all want to be able to jump over it. And you always do it so perfectly. A lovely mystery. This is a story that's only filled with puzzles. I'll keep searching through this maze, for the truth. Rainy days are always around, But now, it's so sunny. You're such an amazing angel, But it gets annoying. We've both talked so much before, We've both met up before. Even though you've forgiven me, I still can't get through to you. Rather than a love, This is just an old friendship. It's just like a slice of life manga, From a time long, long ago. Through the heart, Love's bullet. Even though I'm aiming directly at your heart. You always seem to dodge it every time. A lovely opening. This is a story that's only just beginning. But, I know for sure that I'll steal your heart. Through the heart, Love's bullet. We all want to be able to jump over it. And you always do it so perfectly. A lovely mystery. This is a story that's only filled with puzzles. I'll keep searching through this maze, for the truth. Through the heart, Love's bullet. Even though I'm aiming directly at your heart. You always seem to dodge it every time. A lovely opening. This is a story that's only just beginning. But, I know for sure that I'll steal your heart.

Na Yoon Kwon - She Will Dance

Inside of a time that stood so motionless, Unbreakable dreams are shattered to pieces. Love is just like a dream, it's always blurry, And is erased. Within the memories buried inside me, Sighs of bitterness spread, and no words are said. Separating always starts off with silence. There are no words. She will dance, She will dance. Let us both have the last dance, In the memories we shared together. I will dance, I will dance. Just like a small, broken clock. I swallowed all the tears inside my heart, just to smile. Drenched all over the streets, they silently lay. Tears that were abandoned, with nothing to say. The memories were made with those painful tears. They were made there. She will dance, She will dance. Let us both have the last dance, In the memories we shared together. I will dance, I will dance. Just like a small, broken clock. Swallowing all the tears inside my heart, I smile. Even if I close both my eyes, and try to forget you, There are still traces of you here. She will dance, She will dance, That dance that belongs to me. In the memories we shared together. I will dance, I will dance. I've dreamed a dream with no end. Inside of a world that keeps faltering. She will dance, She will dance. Let us both have the last dance inside the memories we shared together. I will dance, I will dance. Just like a small, broken clock. I swallowed all the tears inside my heart, just to smile.

Infinite - Nothing's Over

You're drifting far away. Getting farther from me. My feet won't move forward. Only my heart is following you. But I know that I still, Can't even explain with words. You're stepping away, so goodbye. For a second, I said goodbye. Nothing's over. (Nothing's over.) Nothing's over. (Nothing's over.) Nothing's over. It's like you're casting a spell. You can't be with other guys now. There's no way that you're like this now. This doesn't mean that it's the end ye-et. This isn't the e-end. I didn't send you off. I think about you all day long. Even if I'm surrounded by black darkness, I'm still searching for you. I'm closed up inside of my feelings. When you found me, and held me in, With your warm, gentle melody. I hear that never forget you. I'll be fine my baby. Nothing's over. (Nothing's over.) Nothing's over. (Nothing's over.) Nothing's over. It's like you're casting a spell. You can't be with other guys now. There's no way that you're like this now. This doesn't mean that it's the end ye-et. This isn't the e-end. I didn't send you off. When we first met each other, I was shaking like a leaf. The words that you said to me, I was foolish to believe. At night, I couldn't get any sleep, thinking of you, Hold onto me, even though you're far, drifting off. Hold onto me. We can separate, we can. Yes, it's true we could do that. But not like this, Can't do it like thi-is, (Can't do it like this.) I just can't end it now. You can't be with other guys now. There's no way that you're like this now. This doesn't mean that it's the end ye-et. This isn't the e-end. You are the one for me.
