Yeah! I thought it was cool that they knew the song, and even more so that they wanted to cover it!

LOL!

I love this! They put a lot of effort into the lyrics, and they kept the English and Engrish from her original song!

ROFLCOPTER here.

i'll cosign that.

the girl's got a pretty good voice.

i've kind of fallen away from reggae lately but i kind of like this for some reason.

thanks for the link anyway, ghostdog; and if it lightens the mood a bit, i think you're more than entitled to your opinion.

I can't believe that she or EMI Japan would give permission to remake Automatic into some crappy reggae song.

I guess yer entitled to yer own opinion.


...But i think of think this is a really cute rendition of the song I think Utada would be flattered. It's so cute. And at least the singer has a nice voice! I noticed that it's #1 on the Japan Reggae pop chart though... according to another Youtube description of it. X'D I think that's good...

I can't hear this song as anything more than an English COVER of this song though. I think it's a nice one though. I'm jsut too used to the Hikki version. XD

lol ghostdog.

i dont understand why people are so hett up about this, everyone has an opinion, i cant see what's immature about having one...

I love how random this rendition of automatic is, like when weezer covered a BoA song. You just never know who's into jpop

edit: Thanks ghostdog! this is a good find...I think they covered it pretty well, especially having all the original english phrases in the same places.
