I felt real nostalgia listening to this, awesome I love how he's really getting into it when he's singing

I think the issues when he originally sang it were that he was only given a one time payment, so never receieved any royalties on the song

Wasn't expecting someone like him to be the voice behind the music. Shame he didn't get the royalty cheques, but he does get the legacy of being the singer of the world famous theme tune.

He's miming.

Isn't the real original, this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6VMgKIJsqsU

Love that version too It was sung by the Japanese voice actress for Satoshi
There's a shorter video where the US version is re-recorded properly: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xx2cxo8WQoM

I don't believe so, I compared the first 30 seconds of the original to this and there are pitch deflections (20 years older will do that). The backing track is playing with him but it's his real voice

And they're both 'real' originals if we're not being anal

Where did I say it wasn't his real voice? I said he was miming, because he is.

99% of these youtube "studio" videos are not actually live.
