Original Song: Team Nekokan
Go see the original!
Original Video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v... Subtitled Version: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v...
Made with Garageband and iMovie. I'm a Mac user, and I'm proud!
NOTES:
* YES, I AM A WOMAN. I'm 24 (though I was 22 when I made this recording), I love video games, and I did write the English lyrics for this song and sing them myself.
You can hear me singing some other songs where I sound more feminine here:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v... (Mezase Pokémon Master in English)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v... (Song of the Captured Princess)
* I got the instrumental version of the song by searching "air man ga taosenai instrumental" on Google. I found a streaming recording, which I re-recorded, as I couldn't download it directly. I recommend just buying the karaoke version from iTunes for 99 cents. It's exactly like the real song, minus the vocals.
* If anyone wants to use my song, the recording or just the lyrics, let me know and give me credit, and please link back to this video. If you want a karaoke version of the song, it's for sale on the iTunes Store, along with the original song, under "Air Man ga Taosenai."
* I will NOT be doing English versions of Okkusenman or any of Team Nekokan's other songs. I will also not be doing any of Hyadain's Mega Man songs. They don't appeal to me enough to want to work on them. Please do not ask me to do them anymore. Thank you.
* Mega Man 2 is JUST AS HARD in the Japanese version as the USA version ON THE DIFFICULT SETTING. The only difference is that the USA version had the additional setting of "normal" which makes the enemies require only half as many shots to kill. This information is on many websites, including Wikipedia. Please stop commenting that the Japanese version is harder, because it is not. This has no impact on the intended humor of this song. Thank you.
* Please refrain from commenting on how Air Man and Wood Man are easy, and please refrain from bragging about how you can defeat them or explain how to do it. The song is just that: a song. It's not meant to be taken so seriously. And besides probably a hundred people have already done this, and I think that's plenty.

Lyrics:
It just occurred to me
That I've been through this place again and again
And in the same spot every time I repeatedly die
I never will give up
As I attempt to cross the disappearing tiles on the
Wall but again I'm falling off of them
If I only had the item number two
It would make it so much easier to beat this level but
Every time, somehow, every time, somehow
Every time I lose.
I can't defeat Air Man
No matter how I try to dodge all his tornadoes, he just kills me again
And even though I can get behind him
It's no use. I try to fight, but I get blown away in the end.
I shoot as fast as I can,
But when I had to go against Air Man's tornado I was helpless again
I'll try again, of course, but this is my plan
I'll keep my E tank saved in reserve just as long as I can
It just occurred to me
That my life bar is almost empty again
If I don't use my e tank now I will never survive
I never will give up
But it's so difficult to navigate this world and
now I see that I'm playing with my final life
If I only had the leaf shield I'd be fine
It would make it so much easier to fight with Air Man but
Every time, somehow, every time, somehow
Every time I lose.
I can't defeat Wood Man
No matter how I try to dodge his swirling leaves, he always kills me again
And even though I can get behind him
It's no use. I try to stay away but he keeps closing in.
I shoot as fast as I can
But when I had to go against Wood Man's agility, I'm helpless again
I'll try again, of course, but this is my plan
I'll keep my E tank saved in reserve just as long as I can
...
Thanks for watching!

You know, I like much more this version of the song than the original. I don't give a damn about translations, your songs beats out the crap the other one. You're great.

You can't beat wood man. simple, just get the atomic fire from heat... man.... nevermind

@kiwikenobi I think you've misunderstood both of them. What they Schpeelah and Dudinator were referencing was the fact that you sang "And even though/ I can get behind him" when in the video Megaman jumps away from Woodman, not behind him.
Still, not insulting, you or your lyrics. Most English dubs, be them anime or songs, really, really, REALLY fall far FAR short of the original. I actually like this as much as, if not more than, the original.
And...isn't obvious you're a woman?

@Goodguy33 I'll try again of course, but this is my plan, I'll keep my E-Tank safe in reserve just as long as I can! (Back to airman, then woodman, then metal man.)
If only I had the quick boomerang, I'd be able to kill metal man, but every time, somehow every time I lose, I can't defeat quick man, no matter how I try to dodge his boomerangs he just kills me again, and even though, I can get behind him, its no use i try to fight but I get flung away in the end.
