Also... although I'm not familiar with this song it seemed sort of off timing wise. Either you guys sang sort of off time to begin with or your voices were mixed in slightly off beat. I've done this before when mixing and it takes a little patience and practice to get right, so pay a little more attention to timing issues when you are mixing next time.
As for the singing, well it could use a little more energy. You guys may not understand the Japanese lyrics, but they have a very 'strong and determined' feel to them that I didn't really hear in your voices.

Thanks for the tips, I didn't realize the music dropped like that! o.O (In the program the music was the same level the whole way through and played like solid before exporting-then there's the headphones vs. speakers issue where things sound different) Upon research, I think I found the reason to be while mixing, the balance was affected when one of the vocal tracks came in, so in essence I just learned something about mixing in Audacity! WOOHOO! Between that and the beat, I paid particular close attention in mixing my
English Version, so I hope that turned out a lot better. I really like it anyway. Hopefully the English has enough energy, because singing either for me, if I had any more energy I would break something...or I would fade in and out of my mic because my whole body dances with this song...kind of like that scene in Singing in the Rain when Lina keeps moving her head but the mic is stationary to her shoulder XD
