こんにちは！
Hellos and welcome, dear readers!
X（旧ツイッター）では毎日のように
こちらの英語カバー動画を宣伝しまくってる
タカペンです！
Yours sincerely has been spamming this English cover song pretty much daily for nearly a week now on X (formerly known as Twitter). lol
日本ではもうクリスマスイブですね！
こちらもこの記事を書いてる間にイブになります(笑)
In Japan, it's already Christmas Eve, and here, it's likely gonna be Christmas Eve by the time this blog entry is up! lol
次の記事が来年になるかもしれないので
皆様良いクリスマスと年末年始をお過ごしくださいませ！
Since I don't know when I'll be blogging next, hope everyone has a very happy holiday season and a Happy New Year! :)
とゆーことで、本題！
So anyhoo, back on subject!
今回の英語カバーはX（旧ツイッター）で
声関連のオリジナルのクリスマステーマソングを
皆で歌ってみよう企画で参加したものです
This is an English cover I did as part of a Christmas skits and original theme song project that's held by someone I follow on X (formerly known as Twitter). Basically, people get together and do their own cover of the original song that's written for this project.

動画について/About the Video
企画自体は結構前からわかっていたのですが
ずっと風邪ひいてたりなんだので時間がなく
結局いつも通りぎりぎりで完了しました(笑)
I was planning on joining the project way back early on in November, but between getting sick and all, I ended up doing everything last minute like always!!
あまりハモリを練習する時間もなく、
MIX師さんには大変ご迷惑をおかけしました
特に１オク上の部分はやかんのような声になり
１オク下の部分はとにかく声が出ないので
ピッチが全く保てない為、多分ほぼ全て
ピッチ補正していただいたのではないかと（汗
I didn't have any time to practice, so Soma had to rough it through with all my out-of-rhythm and out-of-tune vocal tracks. The ham parts that were octav higher and lower, were the worst. The higher one, I sounded like shrieking chipmunk and the lower one, I just can't sing that low, so it was very monotonous and definitely not in tune... :)
まぁ、タカペンは楽しかったですが
次はもっとちゃんと練習ですね！！
I had lots of fun singing them, but for the next time around, I really need to practice more!!
サムネ秘話 / About the Thumbnail Pic
秘話って言う程のお話ではないのですが
いつもは作らないサムネを作りました
If you've noticed, this was the first time I'd actually made a thumbnail for the YouTube video.
とゆーものの、YouTubeさんが自動選択してくれる
サムネの中でわかりやすいものがなかったので
これはちょっと流石に自分で作らないとー
ってなって結構四苦八苦して作ったんですね
Usually, I just pick one of the screenshots that YouTube picks for me, but this time there wasn't one that looked nice, so I decided I had to make my own.
で、やっとでけた！
And I did, after much trials and errors. lol
うん、悪くないんじゃないかな！
It came out okay? Maybe?
と思ったのですが
「ホラーゲーム実況動画のサムネみたい」
と言われて
But someone mentioned that it looks like a thumbnail for a horror game let's play video....
∑('＝';) ﾊｯ!!
omg!!!
た、たしかに！！！
They're totally right...!!!
言われてみればもうそうとしか見えない！！
It does look like that!!!
とゆーことで
And so...
タカペン初の動画サムネは
ホラーゲーム実況仕様なのでした(笑)
The first ever thumbnail created by yours truly ended up looking like it's for a horror game let's play video. lol
とりま英語歌詞です！
Anyhoo, English lyrics!
英語歌詞 / English Translated Lyics
Samtsirch
Santa Claus, if it weren't for you
It would be just like any regular day
But today all the lights around the town
Can’t help but make my feelings for you all the stronger
Let’s say if you were to be here in front of me
Most likely I'll be lying on everything to you
I really hate you
So long, farewell, goodbye
Just ordinary common words can't possibly
Convey my feelings nor my love in my heart for you
It's like an all mashed up and mixed up cake that’s both bitter and sweet
Just a sec… there’s something
Um, hold on… can’t remember…
When I think of you, all the words just seem to disappear
I love you so’s what I wanna tell you
You love me so’s what I wanna hear from you
But they all seem to melt just like the snow and
They just can’t seem to take on any shape
Merry Christmas isn’t something that
I wanna say by myself when I’m alone
I wish my feelings for you could be delivered to you
It's after all Holy Night
To take hold of your hand saying how cold it is
Or saying look, what bright lights how pretty they are
All such cutesie stuff, I can't seem to say
Stringing together all the overused words
Like an overused and cliche love story
Even if I were to wish upon a star, I guess it won't come true
But I can't, there's no way, and that's how
I keep on making excuses to myself for not trying
I love you so’s what I wanna tell you
Wanna be your love more than anything
Please let them fall and pile up like the snow and
My face so let it be hidden from sight
Santa Claus, if it weren't for you
Never would I have imagined that I would ever let out
Bursting out from the stocking, can't keep them in, my feelings for you ah
Hey, hold on, there's something I wanna tell you
Um, so yeah… wanna go and grab some food?
Not what I meant, so I mean I meant to say
For a long time, to me, you've always been
I've always hated
No, I
love you more than anything
Santa Claus told me to say it and, that's the only reason I'm telling you
Merry Christmas, do you know, what about it that makes it so special?
My feelings for you they seem to start to dance so strongly
It's after all Holy Night
