Just found this unusual cover, if anyone's interested.
Kamui Gakupo - Kami wa Shinda - VOCALOID http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MkHlnxTyxC8
Vocaloid is a hit phenomenon on youtube at the moment, it's a singing synthesizer by Yamaha which you can program to sing stuff with a range of pre-programmed voices. This one is the voice based on the musician Gackt (ex Malice Mizer, then successful solo artist).
It's pretty good, considering it's a cover of a cover of a cover, translated into a couple of different languages and doesn't actually feature any live voices. It feels a bit lifeless, but what can you expect from a vampire? I think it has a smooth kind of beauty to it, nevertheless.
