ハッピーハロウィン！
Happy Halloween, dear readers!
省エネモードのタカペンです！
Yours sincerely is currently in an energy saving mode. ohm
でもさすがにハロウィンにあわせた
動画投稿の記事を半年後にあげたら
季節感も何もなくなってしまうので
他の動画と前後しつつ、ブログ記事です！
BUT! Today's Halloween and I uploaded a Halloween-themed English cover song video, so of course I need to blog about it today, not six months later! (I am, working on writing blog entries for other songs I've uploaded over the summer! Blame my left shoulder for the lack of updates! It's much better now and I can sit at a desk comfortably, thank goodness!)

動画について/About the Video
何気にタカペンの英語カバーの動画、
二つ目はハロウィン動画だったんですよね
The reason a Halloween-themed song is so important to me is because my second ever English cover video was a Halloween one.
こちら / This one below:
当時は大分駆け足でハロウィン関連の曲を
探して大変だったので、今年はもっとはやくに
ハロウィンに向けて準備するぞー！と思ってました
At the time, I'd only started and had no clue what I was doing and was like, wait, it's October, don't I need to do something for Halloween!? And so I frantically looked around and crammed this one in, so I was like for next year, which is now, I was going to look for a Halloween song early on!
結局できたのはギリギリになりましたが
「デーモンロード」が投稿されたときに
「これかな～」とめぼしはつけてました（笑）
So when "Demon Lord" came out a few months ago, I was eyeballing it as my potential Halloween-themed cover song. I mean I still ended up having to rush it for various reasons, but at least I knew what song I wanted to do upfront, unlike last year! :)
躊躇したのはこう言う曲にタカペンの声が
合わないからですね！（笑）
The only reason I didn't decide on this song immediately back when it came out was because I know my singing style doesn't really go too well with upbeat songs like this! XP
でも楽しかったです！ 原曲キー低すぎて
ほとんどの部分喉死にそうでしたが
ってか今もまだ喉がちょっと変です☆ミ
But I had loads of fun! Most of the parts were too low in register for me to actually sing it well. _Soma pulled quite a feat making my voice bearable to listen to. lol
あと、この曲をカバーされてる皆さん
角をつけてるので苦肉の策で
角っぽいの頭に生やしてます（笑）
Oh, and I was seeing everybody doing covers of this song with horns on their heads, so I tried to put something on my head. Not horns at all but... better than nothing, maybe? :)
英語歌詞 / English Translated Lyics
Demon Lord
Playback, you got your head down, what’s wrong?
Ahead of now tomorrow, in the second of blinking, ephemeral
Makeup, so tell me can you still see?
The valley that is bottomless, what lies ahead, is what it’s dreaming
Right in front of your eyes is a sprawling whole world and
Hated with reason the evilness when judging it then
Turning their back’s their nature, that’s the way of the world throughout
Without doubting the roots and staying that way
Now I’m no longer by myself alone, not anymore
Right, from here there’s not a road that goes on, not anywhere
And therefore far away far away
In beauty and in crudeness once it sprouts away
Tomorrow go, give me all
Give me all, farewell to humankind
You get to roll the dice only for one time
Showtime, so fly
Might as well let it out you foolish raiders
In the end let’s see how you’re looking make-up
Might as well let it out you foolish raiders
In the end must be a forgotten playback
Attractive by far and beyond the ideal type
Under such expectations no way to ever stop
Cut off from the strings, marionette
Oh, what a selfish little one
You’re the one who fell in love, marionette
For sure all happiness and all that will be in store for you
The essay of God, let it dance on
Very learned or ignorant
Far away far away
In beauty and in crudeness once it sprouts away
Tomorrow go, give me all
Give me all, farewell to humankind
Because you get to live only for one time
And therefore far away far away
In beauty and in crudeness once it sprouts away
Tomorrow go, give me all
Give me all, farewell to my dear friend
You get to roll the dice only for one time
Showtime, so fly
Might as well let it out you foolish raiders
In the end let’s see how you’re looking make-up
Might as well let it out you foolish raiders
In the end must be a forgotten playback
