Vocaloid VY1 - Sky Aquarium

I'M NOT DEAD! I've just been busy with school and stuff and yeah. Anyway, I had the idea for this cover for a LONG time, but I never got around to making it until earlier this week. I spent a LOT of time working on this and making sure everything was all smooth and stuff. However, I know there are still some mistakes orz;; I think I'm getting better though! Enjoy!

.VSQ by me.
Original song by 40mP.

--------------------------

I know some notes are a little off-tune orz; I got them a close as I could. Constructive criticism appreciated.

English lyrics
[SPOILER="Spoiler"]
A school of fish that swims along the sky
The whales' fins that began swirling around
Being born in this place
Just like the time before, I'll return to the sky

Why, for what reason
Am I here? I can't even raise an umbrella
If I don't wake up from this dream, it'll lead me to where you are

Mistaking the thing I found in my journey
For the meaning of happiness
It was dissolved in the pouring rain
The one I held was just, one big lie

Until where, until where
Will I go swimming? I don't even have a map
I don't care if it's a dream; while I'm at it, should I look for you?

Being washed up on a barren world
My body dries up and withers away
Pick me up, and release me to the sky, with your great power
I can't go anywhere; I might die before I could

A school of fish that swims along the sky
The whales' fins that began swirling around
Being born in this place
Within the palm of your hands, I will be re...born

Why, for what reason
Am I here? I can't even raise an umbrella
If I don't wake up from this dream, it'll lead me to where you are[/SPOILER]

That's my constructive criticism.

Other than that, I'm not versed with criticizing songs sung by Vocaloids.

Well, if it helps, I like it. It rolls as "smoothly" as you say it is.

Ohh, I'd never heard this song before. I think you did pretty good. Just some timing issues, it looks like. I think the small timing issues are what keep it from having the same "umph" as the original.

Don't worry; your opinion is just as important c:
I'm glad you like it! Next time, I'll have to spend a little more time getting the notes right @_@
Thank you!

40mP is one of my favorite producers xD I actually kind of look up to him when it comes to tuning Vocaloids.
When I'm mixing, I always have the cover play over the original to make sure everything is timed right, but it does sound like some parts are a little off, so you're right xD Getting things timed right on Vocaloid is very tedious, but it's important @_@ I'll try and get that better next time as well.

Thanks!
