That is not that bad of a version. It is kinda nice.

So this Sly & Robbie seems to be a Jamaican reggae band aimed at the Japanese market from what I've googled. It's a bit dissapointing, but I can see it working in Japan. It'd be cooler if people in the non-Asian world could be inadvertantly introduced to Automatic.

Eh. I think that it's a good, and flattering effort.

Nice, that sounds pretty good actually.
I think I shall call this the 'Bohemian' version :P

Better than Kelly Chen's Chinese version of Automatic

I liked it =] I think it's kinda childish to say: "bleh this is hikki's song! she's the only one that may sing it!" just my two cents....

AMEN TO THAT, BROTHA!! I know what yer saying, Filipinos cover songs ALL the time... (then there's the nice handful of Filipino bands that DO make their own stuff) My cousin in Iloilo is kinda famous and all he does is cover songs. Which is nice, he's got an amazing voice, but i'm going to suggest maybe having him make his own stuff!! Wonder what he could come up with...

...It'd be interesting if he covered an Utada song though. X'D Omfg, i should totally suggest it and see what happens.

hey guys, i tried to re listen to this, but i couldn't find the video in youtube. I followed that link ghostdog gave but the video has been removed. Did someone downloaded the vid or converted it into an mp3. I would appreciate another link, thanks.
