4Kids 5 and Shaman King. 0_o

The 4Kids 5 does Shaman King! Kind of. Mostly clips of Yoh and the people singing and running around in a graveyard. It's second from the left on the bottom row; with the dark blue backround.

hmmm, it won't work on my comp..

You know the saddest thing about the 4kids 5? I think they actually ARE good singers.

O.k, stop laughing. I'm serious.

Close your eyes and listen to them sing, they actually aren't too bad.

Now this is where the "sad" come in.

Open your eyes.

Thier videos are just FULL of "stupid" looking moments. The worst is that the female singer, really needs to work on her facial expressions. They are just too "over the top".
Now add in the visuals of people in random animal costumes... randomly running around 0_o . Throw in a few random clips from any show.

The music is fine (if a little cliche'), it's the video's and direction that need work.

[Ashil]

i agree with lovely.
they sing well, but those silly movements and the backgrounds are killing them. they should give up on 4kids tv and go to american idol. ;D

[TakinawaTonfa]

I guess you're right, the singing is pretty good.

But I don't see why it would too much trouble to dub over the opening songs for SK like Megumi Hayashibara's "Over Soul"

I mean, that sort of thing was done with Yu Yu Hakusho, and those songs were pretty good

All they need to do is stop bouncing around like children with ADD after 12 cans of Red Bull, and they could very well pull it off...

[Takato]

It's not as bad as I thought it would be. From the posts I've been reading, I was expecting the 4Kids 5 to be horrible singers, but they were actually pretty good. Not the best in the world, but good enough to probably make it to at least the second round of American Idol. That song they played in that first Winx music video was actually pretty catchy and the music video wasn't half-bad, either. The Shaman King music video was more weird than anything else.

Now only if they put that much effort into making decent opening songs ,maybe even endings.

*closes eyes

Holy sweet mother of...

Actually I've been telling my wife that for a few weeks and she agrees.

[nielrian]

I agree. Most of their music is cliche, but its not too bad, and they do have pretty good singing voices... they just need to stop with all of the lame videos...

[YohWhatsUp]

Gah!!Scary video.The bit in the graveyard with the guy dressed up in a gorlia outfit was very very starnge.
Yeh I agree with Lovely.Very very over the top but yeh they can sing.If they could make good vidoes with less strange movements and facial expressions it be a whole lot better

[Gus]

Meh, I can't watch their stuff anymore. I saw that One Peice song and... well.... now i'm scarred for life. Terrible video!

[Joji]

Well, I've seen worse... somewhere. They do sing pretty well but... the video was boring to watch asside from the fact that it was strange. I could make a better video.
I think they should have more Shaman King clips and less creepy gorilla-guy clips.

[Yash]

The problem with the 4Kids 5 is that they keep doing such exaggerated music videos. It's just constantly moving and constantly making funny faces.

I've already seen the Shaman King video. Those parts with the gorilla chasing the singers... or that One Piece video with them looking through the telescope and seeing Alvida, Buggy, etc... just makes you go "What the hell was that..."

It'd be a kick to see them do a music video to a Japanese OP.

[Bluehairedhorofreak]

Yeah, their singing isn't really that bad. Just...what's up with the gorilla? What does a gorilla have anything to do with Shaman King? I'm confused...

[Ashil]

i really don't don't know why there is a gorilla in there

all i know is that they are afraid of it...when you can clearly see that it's fake...

i wonder if they are being forced into this *ponders*
