Terra VS...

[Cat's eye]

Ok, Terra swiped 2 songs from 2 of my favorite bemani artists

Ever snow from Yoma Komatsu
and Blue Impulse from Miyuki Kunitake

Which version of this songs do you think is better? The Terra ones or by the original artists??

Yoma's ever snow was better, although I don't like the vocal styling on it. I think of it as her transition from Jun H to current vocal style.

Now, Aoi Shoudou I can't compare, since one's a remix. I do enjoy Miyuki's vocals better, though.

Excuse me, TERRA swiped those songs? TERRA composed them! Don't you dare say they swiped them, since if it weren't for TERRA these songs wouldn't exist in the first place.

I have very strong feelings about this since I am a TERRA fan to the EXTREME, but I find both Yoma's and jun's versions enjoyable. I mean, it was made for Yoma and jun just decided to do a full version of it for the album.

Meanwhile, I like jun's version better for Aoi Shoudou. Miyuki's version was okay, but for me it was completely unmemorabke.

Don't forget termination.

Anyway, here's the way I have it:

ever snow:
tie

Aoi Shoudou (one can hear jun sing the original version in the megamix):
Miyuki (they should have computerized jun's voice too)

termination:
Yuuko Imai

EDIT: who can forget Baby Baby Gimme Your Love?

Baby Baby Gimme Your Love:
TERRA

Haha. I would have gotten a little defensive about the whole "swiping" thing too, but I see that kannazuki beat me to it. Cheers for that, I suppose! To answer your questions, though, let's see:

ever snow - TЁЯRA, by far. Both Yoma and her rendition of ever snow are overrated to hell. Jun does this song more justice.
蒼い衝動 - If you're just counting the remix, I'd have to choose Miyuki Kunitake's version, as that's Naoki trance at its finest. If you're comparing it to jun's cover of the original, I'd rate them both about equally.
『termination』- I haven't heard Yuuko Imai's version yet, but I found TЁЯRA's version to be pretty bland, so I'm not going to choose a winner here.
BABY,BABY GIMME YOUR LOVE - TЁЯRA, by far. I actually would have liked this song a lot more if SOTA had cut it short by like, five minutes or something.

Guys you dont have to bite my head off, by 'swipe' i mean that they included it in the CD even though the songs were not originally writen to by sung by TERRA, that's all, i know jun wrote the songs and everything, but i guess the reason why i like the originals better is cause the other artist had already given them their own touch. That's all...
