Since the OG song doesn't really have a PV I took a chance to create my own this time! I had tried this earlier with bug but disliked how the art turned out so I'm glad it worked this time around :D!!
Happy pride month everyone ! I am very glad to have finished this cover in time – it’s something I have thought about making since I got the vocaloid program in 2021, and I’m really glad I finally got to it. Anyway, if you would like to remove the low section in Piko(Luka)’s verse, select the section and click edit to open the drop down menu and click “move region by number.” Input 12, and this will move it back to where it is meant to be (the first note of the verse should be moved from E3 to E4) if doing so in UTAU. for vocaloid – select the notes and click on the first note – drag this note from E2 to E3 and be careful to keep it in the same place horizontally so it stays on time :)! Hopefully these instructions also work for SynthV and Cevio as I currently have neither and so cannot check ^^’’
Fuka versions are because when I originally made this cover, it was supposed to be with his voice, but I couldn't get him to cooperate. I decided to still use Flower for this since it's an anniversary re-cover and switching (ha) the vocal on it didn't feel right,,, but I still wanted to see if I could make him work with it, which resulted in the two alt versions. That's all ^^
I am so happy to see this channel reach 2 years old -- I've been using vocaloid since about 2021 and the idea of being able to make covers -- let alone full PVs for them like this one -- felt so crazy and complicated back then. When I first made this cover I hadn't learned how to make my own sequence files yet and had to use one made by someone else (half-a-head on tumblr -- they've done so much for me and probably have no idea) and the poor thing had been mixed in Vocaloid5.
I really hope someone else is able to use my UST to kickstart their vsynth journey the way I had not so long ago used half-a-head's :') somehow it feels like it's been so much longer since that happened. I'm not sure why.
anyway this was really fun to make. It was one of the first covers I made after getting my new laptop and I completed the MIDI in about two-ish weeks, which was insane for me since my average time to make them was previously around 4 times that. The PV came together really well, too. I think this is the most technical PV I've done before :0
This wasn't even originally intended to be a Piko cover, I just didn't feel like doing the note input on my old computer (where all my engloids are, because I am lazy and haven't decided to try transferring V5 over yet) so I ended up putting in more work and doing it with Piko instead. This had been sitting as a wip for a billion trillion years and even with all that I still couldn't properly figure out the harms for this one -- but I wanted to post it at some point, so here's uh. that. I also wasn't originally intending to make a PV because I was having a hard time -- but then I felt guilty and like I was misleading people by still putting the Piko image in the thumbnail so I made one anyway. Wonderful how the human brain works, eh? I'm glad I did because I forced myself to learn how to download fonts ╰(*°▽°*)╯and I got to put some of the stuff I did in photography to use, too ^^(Fukase + Kasane Teto) BINOMI by MARETU (cover)Shadow-P2025-01-28 | UST: dropbox.com/scl/fi/2kohh3i6bpoylo2dohfyf/BINOMI-UST-by-ShadowLikesVsynth.rar?rlkey=41g0fdp1yoxz9wofw5ef0qfjr&st=yx5t532w&dl=0 Vocal used: V4 Fukase Normal, Kasane Teto UST ( + tuning and mixing) and thumbnail graphic by Shadow-P (Me) dropbox.com/scl/fi/vq8f02y2ap15o70tl8n07/BINOMI-Fukase-Kasane-Teto.mp3?rlkey=435pmplxbrllxjgdv9dtb3od5&st=lxoo0lny&dl=0 Original song by MARETU ft.

This may be the quickest cover I have ever and will ever produce. I started it after I finished the Shinitai Chan cover way sooner than expected (only about 20-ish days), and then suddenly the MIDI for this was done in only two! I did have to do some minor fixes (the u note at the end of kandou was a little too long and it made Fukase's pronunciation sound strange -- I also made like,,, 2 typos when inputting the lyrics, which I fixed) But-- because of how quickly this came together, I got to do my first ever anniversary cover!! so uh,,, yeah!! Happy birthday Fukase, my little stinker !!

I've had this cover sitting finished for a few months (was struggling with harms, then was procrastinating figuring out the screamo sounding parts and then getting the off vocal etc etc etc,,,) I made the PV in 2~ish days because while I didn't want to make a PV I also didn't want to download the music video (would have to line them up, have been sick so wasn't too keen on that) so I did this simple one instead :D! I tried to get in an audio visualizer bar but the websites for that were too confusing to navigate (and it probably would have been difficult to edit in near the end anyways hhh) and laggy asf so uhhhh Bon appetite :) happy new year.(Fukase) Shoujo Rei by MikitoP (cover +UST)Shadow-P2024-12-26 | UST: dropbox.com/scl/fi/gvuv9saxpl8absuzh04nm/Shoujo-Rei-UST-by-ShadowLikesVSynth.rar?rlkey=9ijde2vrs824glhvw86mlwwwa&st=z5284y19&dl=0 Vocal used: V4 Fukase Normal UST ( + tuning and mixing) and PV by Shadow-P (Me) dropbox.com/scl/fi/gzddlt1yhm9o1eabekzt5/Shoujo-Rei-Fukase.mp3?rlkey=t902n6uej61ajo8wpirephmip&st=ol1trw2p&dl=0 Original song by MikitoP ft.

This is the first time I did harms fully on my own ^^ (as in didn't transpose down an octave... that is the right term, right????) and WOW it was difficult-- but I figured it out !! Thank you to my friend @bugsnvines for suggesting for the other person in the PV to be Lapis I hope you like the Aokikase angst :D I really liked making the pieces of the PV (of the two background images the railroad crossing was found on google and the school courtyard in the ibis paint X library ^^) especially since I got to integrate digital and trad art when making it (which also made the drawing and coloring a lot easier) Most importantly -- I am so glad to have gotten this out before the end of the year. I don't even know what else to say other than that. I'm just so happy to be able to do all of this.happy birthday dex (and daina)Shadow-P2024-11-21 | I don't have her voicebank so I focused on Dex
I had the opportunity to make a birthday drawing but forgot abt this while I was drawing and then ran into a time crunch aaaa
I'll change the thumbnail at some point but I don't know when the hell that point will be because I have no idea what to do for it. Anyway I've had the vocal audios for this done since around February but didn't get to them because I wasn't 100% sure I wanted to use Teto for this and that was preventing me from making a PV-- then I got distracted by Samsa which ended up taking several more months than expected, thus causing this cover to not get mixed until 8 months later (yippee ^^''') Also this forced me to finally get the two prev covers converted to MP3 files so I could post the DL links in the descriptions. I love rambling in the description box :)FINALLY !!!Shadow-P2024-10-12 | ...(3 VOCALOID + 2 UTAU) Samsa by Teniwoha (cover)Shadow-P2024-08-06 | UST//VSQX: To be added after minor discrepancy fixes between UST and VSQX files Vocal used: Utatane Piko, Matsudappoiyo, Fukase JP normal, V4 Flower, Kasane Teto (UTAU) UST//VSQX ( + tuning and mixing) by Shadow-P (me), PV also by Shadow-P MP3 DL: To Be Added Original song by Teniwoha ft Hatsune Miku // 25ji Nightcord de (Nightcord at 25:00 AM) English subs by Hiraethie on the Vocaloid Lyrics Wiki
This was meant to release in tandem with//soon after Immiscible Discord hit the Eng server. As you can see, it is very very late ^^' I'm really glad I took my time with this cover instead of trying to rush it out, especially since there were some fatal errors present in some parts that would have remained unfixed, and I definitely would not be as proud of the PV as I am with it at the moment.
Somehow tuning this felt easier than tuning other covers. I think it was because there were way less notes per file, thus making them all faster to work through? Whereas with regular covers the song is kind of all in one piece and so you have way more in one file to work through than if it were split among 5 synths like it was here.
Now I'm wondering if I should make an engeki cover Should probably finish all of my other MIDIs first fewyhouifuhiefwhuifwegyfewgyHate Monologue (I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream) Bonzi Buddy TTSShadow-P2024-05-17 | I made the audio a few months ago using a text to speech website after seeing that video where someone made the TikTok woman TTS say it. today, I had access to photoshop and YEAH this happened hhhahaaaaaaaaaaaa
This took 5 days to mix and it is exclusively from V5 bluescreening my PC and corrupting project files. So 'fun' :) ALSO because the thing I used to download videos and audio died I had to recreate the entire PV myself which was also 'fun' -- luckily the images for it were readily available and the pixel hearts only took about an hour for all of the components to be finished. Also had to add the breath at the beginning of the song in post because it isn't part of the official instrumental and I for some reason did not think to isolate it prior to literally the night of posting this :)
On the more positive side, this was my first time making a UST and it was incredibly fun to do omg :D(Fukase + V4 Flower) Bug by Kairiki Bear (cover)Shadow-P2023-07-11 | UST: https://k3ra.notion.site/Bug-a4eb9554d84b4d508473542e1d811266 youtube.com/watch?v=ngijP99oIIs Vocals used: Fukase V4 Normal (main + main2 + high harm) V4 Flower (main2 harm + low/mid harm) UST by K3RA, tuning/mixing by me (Shadow) Converted into a vsqx using UtaConvert MP3 DL: dropbox.com/scl/fi/4yzq37df9ybw94b1g3zkn/BUG-Fukase-V4-Flower.mp3?rlkey=urf3me2wo9f1lhlv6utteb1ce&dl=0 Original song by Kairiki Bear ft Hatsune Miku
Excuse the weirdness of the title, I am still figuring out how to title covers ^^' I think I'm getting there I put a bit more effort into the MV edit this time, at first I was going to make my own MV but eventually decided against this (ofc this was after I finished the art of the character for it so uh now I don't know what to do with that heh) and I hope it looks good ;u;
