Squeakies tried to sing Ringo Hanabi to Soda no Umi

After a long while, Mugipyon and I have finally completed our first duet cover! Here is our duet cover of Mafumafu-senpai’s “Ringo Hanabi to Soda no Umi”! And as for our collaboration unit, we call ourselves “Squeakies”! ‘Cause we’ve got some prominent childish traits in our personalities, we tried to sing a song where we need to sing high notes a lot, and our animal avatars are a rabbit (Mugi) and a bear (me, duh)–animals that seem to be among the highly likely forms that plushies are made into. So yeah, “Squeakies.”

Also, about Mugi, well, she’s a friend I made back when I played Ayakashi: Ghost Guild a lot with a guild of KagePro fans. I think she’s got a nice singing voice and some nice illustrating skills!

And now, mp3 of this cover, yo!

Goodbye Mekakucity

Author’s Note: If you ask me about the ending of Mekakucity Actors, I feel like it should be more developed. I don’t know if Jin-sensei will ever write a continuation to it, but I’d like to say that telling the story of it shouldn’t be ended at where Mekakucity Actors ended. Right now, the Kagerou Project really seems like a tale of a neverending summer, and I have learned good things from it, but the the members of Mekakushi Dan will have to grow up. Mary, especially. After some musing about Mary Kozakura, Mekakucity Actors, and the rest of the Kagerou Project with a fellow fan on Twitter, I decided to write this theory-filled one-shot. If Jin-sensei wrote a continuation to Mekakucity Actors, maybe it wouldn’t be like this, but hey, think about how things are likely to go after the events of Mekakucity Actors, fellow KagePro fans.

Now, this fanfic definitely has major KagePro spoilers. Also, my knowledge of canon isn’t perfect, especially since I haven’t checked out the canon materials thoroughly for a long while. I’d like to know your honest thoughts on this fanfic too.

And one more thing: I don’t recommend this story to anyone below sixteen years old.

Sitting Down And/Or Pacing Around #2

I like understanding people. It’s a pain during a lot of times, yeah, but I find it very important. Healthy bonds with other people are essential in living a happy life, and a person should never ever hinder another person from building and maintaining healthy bonds. Building and maintaining healthy bonds requires understanding other people, and every human behavior has a reason behind them. There is no human behavior that happens because of “no reason at all.” If you don’t get why a certain human behavior happens, well, keep on trying to know. “I don’t know” doesn’t mean that something cannot be explained. We are human, and a part of being human is being imperfect. Not like we can’t improve, though. I don’t like treating people like they’re incorrigible, because people aren’t incorrigible. Some are just harder to deal with than others. Correcting someone does not mean destroying someone. I think there definitely will be people telling me that being a better person is hard, and yeah, it is hard. But still, we need to improve and we can improve, and those are enough reasons for me to improve myself and help others improve. Heroes aren’t formed in the comfort zone, you know. Heroes are formed in the courage zone. And if you ask me about what I hate, I’d like to say that I don’t hate people. I do hate bad behavior, though. Praise the Lord, and God Almighty help us all.

Sitting Down And/Or Pacing Around #1

Someday, I’ll definitely be hated for thinking differently, for thinking deeply, for thinking critically. Indeed, I am scared of rejection, of being scorned, of being left alone. But why should I be scared when I can think of backup plans? Why should I be scared when I have seen that things can be better? Why should I be scared when I have met people who have genuinely cared for me before? I will stumble–that’s a part of being human–but I will rise again and rise higher–and that’s another part of being human. We are fools, but we hate being fools, and we can kill our own foolishness. Praise the Lord, and God Almighty help us all.

Kashokusei: Idol Shoukougun — Ken and Tobby’s Tagalog Cover

At ngayon, sa mga Pinoy na sumusubaybay sa aking blog at sa mga kung ano pang gawa ko na ina-upload ko publicly sa Internet, may bago akong Tagalog cover na ginawa, na may kasamang tulong ni Ken! Considering yung mga themes ng kantang ito, baka mabilis ‘tong sisikat…well, may iba pang factors na iimpluwensiya sa bilis ng pagsikat, pero anyway…

Heto ang Tagalog cover ng isang magaling na kanta ni Suzumu-sensei, “Kashokusei: Idol Shoukougun (過食性:アイドル症候群)!” Baka may maalala kayong mga artista sa totoong buhay kapag narinig n’yo ang kantang ito, at baka maging parang bomba ito sa ilang mga tao, dahil, sa tingin ko, ang kantang ito ay hindi malayo sa realidad. Gising, gising, Pilipinas! ^_^ HUWAG KAYONG MAGING DELUSYONAL. (O_O)

Ah, at huwag mag-alala! May pag-asa pa, at wala ang pag-asa sa karahasan at pagsisinungaling. Haah…parang naglabas ako ng nakimkim na galit doon, no? Well, nakakainis nga ang pagiging tamad habang magulo ang mundo…pero hindi ako susuko!

NGAYON, TIKMAN N’YO ANG ILANG PIRASO NG REALIDAD! HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!

Ah, at kung gusto n’yo, heto ang mp3 ng cover at ang pdf ng translyrics. Kung gagamitin n’yo ang aking lyrics para sa cover ng kantang ito, pakicredit ako sa upload descriptions n’yo! At please…HUWAG NINYONG KALIMUTAN NA SI SUZUMU-SENSEI ANG NAGSULAT NG MUSIKA AT NG HAPON NA LIRIKA NG KANTANG ITO. HUWAG N’YO DIN KALIMUTAN SI SAINE-SENSEI KAPAG PINAG-UUSAPAN ANG TAONG GUMAWA NG ILLUSTRATION AT ANIMATION PARA SA ORIHINAL NA UPLOAD NG KANTANG ITO.

At kung bakit ko sinulat yung all caps na reminder na sa ‘yun ng ganun, mukhang madami sa ating mga Pinoy ay madalas na naaalala ang mga kumanta, hanggang sa punto na nakakaligtaan ang mga taong tulad ng taong nagsulat ng musika, ang nagsulat ng mga lirika, ang mga nag-aarrange ng musika, ang mga gumagamit ng mga instrumento sa mga live band recording, at ang mga taong nag-aayos ng mga music videos at ng mga audio recordings nila. Oo, importante ang mga kumakanta, pero huwag na huwag n’yong maliitin ang mga ibang members ng production crew, please. 🙂

Tobby tried to sing Henry Cat

Yo. I think the original upload of this song needs to be seen and heard more, so yeah, check it out, yo. Also, Soraru-senpai covered this song once, yo. 🙂

Oh, and the by the way, I’ll probably be posting another cover in the near future. Hint: Abangan.

And now, here’s a link to an mp3 of this cover.

And one more thing, Tobby: Go do some more work on your fiction and fanfiction now.
