Original: Skirt and PUNPEE
Vocals and Lyrics: Mr. Goatee
Instrumental: Ikanaide
Sax: Soneji
Lyrics:

Trying to feel
Where to go now
I want to flow
Again like the water

Don't wanna be adrift in the gutter
Got me calling at you
Hear it bouncing 'round the room
You gotta hear me out

Everybody got their life
Hear the rumble of the city as the night begins the noise
Walking around at the bottom
Nothing, this can't be my destiny surely

A mysterious rhythm begun
Talkin aint gonna bring me anything, I need something better
Watching the mood come alive
With the beat of the city (getting drag

I can see how I might be a fool
I'll ride to a world beyond the noise, so i ask
Why don't we hail a cab?

[ikanaide_music]

Turned out absolutely amazing, thank you for having me on <3

[QJJQ_]

Thank you Nimi for mentioning this cover, sounds awesome

[ChocoLatteDX]

Nimi Nightmare recommended us to listen and, this sounds amazing! I was familiar with the original, and I love how smooth your version is!

[ssjgoben]

Such a chill song in japanese and in english

[mukmenmuhammad]

"Why dont we hail a cab ?"
Thats so beautiful

[TNT-Thin]

If you cosplayed Odokawa, it would be even better!

[KingDXVI]

Hello Naplings who came here cuz Nimi mentioned it

[HitItFromTheBack]

Came here for the 1:00 - 1:11 …my favourite part of both versions 🤠🔥✨

[Ev_erett]

Nimi nightmare sent me here to wright a essay on this. Don't tell her I won't be doing that

[xanderxodiac]

Loved how he connected the song with the anime with that last line. That was smooth

[Rokuro]

Holy shit, this is as good as the original song in japanese!
Now I need a full length of your version for my life to be complete hahaha

[yavararabi]

man thank you just thank you, the moment i saw my fav op of this season being covered i just clicked.honestly i didn't have much hope because the song is a little unique but as always, just leave it to Mr. Goatee to make a BLAST. thank you again man, wish you the best

[Benjo]

Mr. Goatee's style and presence is reminiscent of Odokawa himself, eccentric but with a cool undertone of mystery.
The transliteration of the lyrics allows English listeners to experience the vibe and tone of the original song without the sometimes stilted output of a perfectly transcribed cover!

Also I'm sorry Nimi but my essay was more than 30 words I hope this won't count against my final grade

[lordofthebats]

Nimi sent me here, this is a great cover. It captures the vibes of the original wonderfully, you really captured the late night feel! It sounds so relaxing, I love it!

[inputVOID]

Man, when the harmonies kick in, chills hit me. My wife is always signing this version. Perfect!

[clebcalb]

Perfectly captured the feel of the original--always the most important part of making an English cover of an anime opening.

[TheVolcanocraft]

this op is such a bop, the animation is so smooth, and of course this cover was excellent in all regards.

[Megami]

Yaaay love this show! Glad ya covered this! X3

[FieryRedmond]

If y’all aren’t watching Odd Taxi you’re missing out!

[Nikzzza]

I have been obsessing over the original opening song for a few months now, as I recently watched the anime. And I am so glad for youtube to have given me this gem of a performance on your frontpage this evening. Truly amazing
