Two Breaths Walking--Mixing Critique

[SakisCookie]

Yeah, I did a cover of Two Breaths Walking, with Sakura's ACT 3.
Her voice is a little...in need of work, but that's not what I'm looking for feedback on.

I was trying to mimic the mixing used in the original.
Please listen to that before listening to my cover, or it'll sound rather strange.

Anyway, here's my version. Does it sound close to the original? Does it sound awful?
Let me know! ouo

To be quite honest, it sounds pretty fine :D You can hear the UTAU clearly, and she has a nice echo effect. I would suggest lowering it by just a /little/ bit though, so she sorta blends into the music. Same for her harmonies, so they're not too obvious but give power to the voice.

Hope that helps ^^

it sounds clear okay but it lacks power a bit. the parts with scarce drum hits sound okay but the  more there is cymbals it kind of makes it fade to the backround when the drums need to be there to put some energy to the song. the hihats, bass and snare drum could be louder and snappier there. the guitars and bass and vocals sound quite alright in relation to eachother. maybe the lead guitar is a bit too silent but if thats how its supposed to roll then okay.
