My cover of Summerly Slope (Natsumeku Sakamichi), Pocket Monsters: Best Wishes! Da!'s opening. Originally sung by Daisuke.
This is probably one of my favorite Pokémon openings, but one of my least favorite Pokémon seasons. Decolora was full filler and the series really could have done without it... Well, the series could have done without Best Wishes as a whole in my opinion, but well... XD Let's be glad XY made the series rise to a whole new level.
Anyway, this song is so cheerful! I loved it from the moment I first heard it. I think it also fit the season pretty well! Singing it was kind of a bumpy road. I tried to sing it in it's original pitch, but I ended up sounding like a tortured Tepig, so I decided to pitch it down a bit to a more comfortable range. All went pretty smoothly after that.
I hope y'all enjoyed this cover! See you next time :)
Lyrics:
When it starts to rain,
know the sun is always shining right behind the clouds
The light is slowly breaking through
and the sunshine makes the flowers come rising from the ground
I see you trip and fall
in a puddle and you're acting like it's just a game
And then you get up and with no trace of shame
you're smiling and calling out my name
You grabbed my hand and took me
to see the view from up the hills we're climbing
And all of my worries are blown away by the summer breeze
I want you to know, you can take me wherever
No matter what comes, I will be with you forever
This summer with you has made me feel like I can
Overcome all hurdles if you're here by my side
With you, I will never feel hollow
Your beautiful smile will always rid me of all of my sorrow
You make me look forward to tomorrow
Oh yeah, woo-ooo
