Plants vs. Zombies in Japanese

1 min read9 comments

Plants vs. Zombies

Plants vs. Zombies is a great game, possibly one of the best works from casual-game maker PopCap Games. You can check out the tons of positive reviews online if you don’t believe me. For those who have played the game, you have to agree with me that the end credits roll (YouTube link) was pretty damn awesome, somewhat reminiscent of GLaDOS’ solo performance from Valve’s Portal.

There’s actually a Japanese version of the song “Zombies On Your Lawn” titled “Uraniwa ni Zombies ga” performed by the same singer Laura Shigihara. (Incidentally, her personal site, which appears to be inaccessible right now, is hosted on berkeley.edu)

♪ uraniwa ni zombies ga

Zombie ga yattekita~ You can download both versions of the song from the official PvZ site. They are both great in a weird way, though I have to say the English lyrics are more cleverly written.

I like your tricycle.

    Gotta say I’m not a huge fan of the voice they got to do for the zombies in the Japanese version. The English was much more…I want to say ‘authentic’, but how authentic can the voice of a zombie really be? It’s a fictional character after all…

    It felt like it fit more. Let’s settle with that.

    I avoided this weeks back when I saw some classmates playing it because it looked rather kiddy D:

    Looks like a great game, where can I play the full version online or something? PopCap doesn’t seem to work at all.

    And yes the lyrics rock XD

    That song is surprisingly catchy. I’ve had it in my head for awhile now.

    I have to agree that PvZ is an amazing game. It’s also very addictive (late for work for a week hahahaha).

    And I like the English better than the Japanese. Though the Japanese has this cuteness hehe.
