We now dive into action with another theme song to one of my most favorite Adult Swim shows of all time starring a bunch of offbeat adults situated in an underwater laboratory. Sit back, relax, and enjoy.
Singing
With all of the recent events coming to play in this year, I thought it would be fitting to present my rendition of a show that is part of Fox Animation’s show lineup, had a second life on Adult Swim, and has been majorly polarizing leading people to either love to hate this show or just feel indifferent to it. Sit back and enjoy.
I may be a guy, but that does not stop me from giving my take on Lurleen Lumpkin’s first ballad from The Simpsons episode Colonel Homer. So, folks, let us dig in to my rendition of this piece of country music goodness.
I take myself back to when I was a young teenager and first heard this song from one of my favorite cartoons of all time Avatar the Last Airbender. I know I can never surpass the late, great Mako when it comes to this song, but I gave this song a go and I hope you enjoy my rendition of it from the episode “Tales from Ba Sing Se”.
Ah, Belmonte from Mozart’s Die Entführung aus dem Serail or The Abduction of the Seraglio. As a lyric tenor, I can decree that he is one of my most favorite Mozart characters for the tenor voice, and here I am singing his entrance aria. It was also a really challenging aria to get through, but I definitely enjoyed the ride. So, I hope you all enjoy my rendition.
I take on the challenge of singing Bois-Rosé’s little yet under-appreciated aria from the third act of Giacomo Meyerbeer’s Les Huguenots, which definitely needs a whole lot more love. Trust me when I say that singing this was akin to climbing Mount Everest, given that I have been doing and redoing this for about ten takes until I got to the one which I thought was all right. One should not be fooled by the size of Bois-Rosé’s role, as his Rataplan is extremely demanding, especially with the backing of the chorus. And yes, I sang this solo, which proved to be even tougher. I hope you enjoyed my rendition of this short tenor aria, as flawed as it is.
Out of all the anime openings I have attempted to sing thus far, this one was really challenging. Nevertheless, I did enjoy the ride I had with this nostalgic anime opening. Happy listening, folks.
I now travel to the Land of Ooo where I attempt a theme tune from one of my favorite Cartoon Network shows of the 2010s. Happy listening.
I now attempt another anime ending song from, once again, Inuyasha. This time, it is Dearest by Ayumi Hamasaki. Happy listening, folks.
All right, ladies and gentlemen. Here is my first attempt at singing an anime song. Without further ado, this is my rendition of Inuyasha’s second ending song Fukai Mori originally sung by Do As Infinity. Yes, I am singing this in a much higher key, but I thought it would be more suitable for my voice. Enjoy it. By the way, if you are wondering why I was not always looking at the camera, it is mainly because I was trying to follow the lyrics on Anime Lyrics, while also singing the truncated version for television.
