いつか、シンデレラが - Someday Cinderella will..~ Cover review

I first heard this song in a Kagamine Len version when I was looking through more Vocaloid videos on YouTube. The song was touching, as Len's soft songs usually are, but what really captivated me was the fact that, the art was so breathtaking, and beautifully expressing the feelings that the words were trying to convey. I think this is the first time I have been hit with a Kagamine song this hard after Aku no Meshitsukai.

That was two days ago. Today, when I was finally done with the day and tried to search through YouTube to find this song again so I can listen to it while I fall asleep, I found a cover by one of my favourite YouTube cover singers.

The Japanese Cover: When I saw this, I was like, "Omg! I have to check this out I didn't know this person actually made a cover of this song!". So when I went to listen... I got the whole feels again ._. ... by the end of the video I was crying yet again. And now, it's been an hour already and I have the song on repeat and I'm constantly listening to it as I write this post.
I think, out of all this person's wonderful covers, this one touched me the most.

And if that wasn't enough... they made an English cover as well @_@...

The English Cover: The English version is also just as beautiful. The lyrics match the video and are very close and precise to the original Japanese version. Can you believe this person made both these versions? so amazing.

I'll be downloading both the songs and they'll be a new and constant addition to my Music player.

Ayaka's Okaeri -おかえり- Cover with Eng-Romaji-Japanese Sub

So... this is basically my first cover, and the first video I subtitled like this after singing it. This is also the first time I'm daring to upload my cover of something on Youtube. I previously used to make AMV's and upload those but making covers and uploading them is a whole new scary experience. I finished this overnight so I can't say it's the best result, but since it's just the first time, I'm hoping I'll get better with time. I'm not a professional singer, nor have I ever gotten singing lessons, so cut me some slack if I sound absolutely horrible :P

About the lyrics, I got from www.jpopasia.com but I found the translations off a bit so I went and did some edits where I thought I couldn't stand it. I tried my best to keep it as close to the original translation as I could but yeah... some parts BADLY needed editing... If there are any problems with the translations let me know or feel free to use the subbing option provided on here.

Why this song? Because, I was first introduced to Fushigi Yuuhgi back in year 2000 when it aired on AXN in India, I fell in love with it, read the manga, found Yuu Watase sensei, then read all her other manga there were. Among them was Zettai Kareshi/Absolute Boyfriend, which really grew on me, I later found out there was a Dorama on it, which although quite different from the Manga, was still really amazing. This song was the Ending track for the Drama. I got introduced to Ayaka through this drama. I can't sing as beautifully as her but I tried my best!
I also made an English cover for this song but I haven't added any music or anything to it yet so I'm just keeping it for now.

I'd love if anyone is able to suggest to me some good video editing software that specialize in subtitles, I used Adobe Premiere Pro for this, but since I don't have the software down 100% I had quite a lot of problems with it x.x.. I didn't want to just upload the song with some cutesy picture with lyrics in description cause that's really confusing to people who're not into Japanese or don't want to read separately. If possible I'd like to know what software was used to make this video :  www.youtube.com/watch?v=dY0Ao24rt-Q , the user is banned from Youtube so I can't reach them to ask, but it looks so perfect for making subs...

Lastly, as usual, I don't own the music, the song, or the lyrics, the video is made as just a fan cover and all rights of the original song/music/lyrics belong to Ayaka and her production company Warner Music Japan. No copyright infringement is intended by this video. The only thing I own is my voice.
