Mel MayugaYes, I know this great song is originally from the game but after watching Episode 10 of Edgerunners yesterday, I was so moved and the song just hit so differently. I am still in post-series depression from the incredible show and just want to do a short piano cover.
Also, time to revisit Night City! I've been such a fan of @CyberpunkGame played it since launch and the love it's been getting past week makes me so happy.
On a side note, I'm a bit more active on IG, where I post short covers more often than here on YT. Anyhoo, thanks for watching chooooms!!!

I remember clear as day how I loved departing from the Pokke Village to gather herbs, raw meat, iron ore etc. so peaceful! On one quest, I was just gonna gather more herbs until I was met by none other than... the mighty Tigrex. I was really scared shitless lol and hunting was never the same as MH became one of my favorite games of all time! I would wait for weekends to go LAN hunting with Jet and my friends. Fast forward to now, we have collected Creators Model figures of all monsters and I am proudly showcasing theme here! And with MH wilds coming up, I was quite inspired to learn more pieces from this game. Anyhow, hope you enjoy! This is my tribute to the exact moment I fell in love with this game. Tigrex will forever be my favorite monster. XD

I finally got to watch Weathering With You last week and decided to learn this song on the piano with the help of youtube.com/user/phyxinon (my arrangement is largely based on his version). I thought the right hand was difficult at first but days of enormous slow practice helped a lot. if only my piano was in tune too lol
PS: I know my house is a mess since it was a choice between tidying up or choosing to practice for a few minutes these past few days. Thank God my baby decided to behave while I recorded! lol. Till next cover!

I'm not that good and this is my first one lelz... just basic stuff since I'm just self-taught and I only learned what I know through Gitadora. Oh and I like One OK Rock too sooo... hope you enjoy!
P.S. Sorry I have not been doing any piano/guitar covers lately. Been so busy with a lot of things (like Overwatch lelz).

It's been quite a while since I was able to learn and memorize a romantic piece! *shame*. And it's also the first classical piece to be completed with my lovely new Hallet Davis piano which le husband got for my birthday last January. ;_; (Thanks puppeh!)
I didn't have any guidance with this piece though. :( (got no private teacher here in San Diego... yet... so how I played it here probably sounds meh but oh well!!! I've been wanting to play this since I heard my friend perform it 3 years ago (which I still remember to this day) ;) Thank you Mika Lastrilla for inspiring me to learn this!
PS: I won't be uploading any more classical pieces in the near future because I've set up a new project for this channel. Still involves music of course so stay tuned for it!Heartache - [One OK Rock] Piano CoverMel Mayuga2015-02-24 | Please LIKE my FACEBOOK PAGE! http://facebook.com/melmayuga
I'm not familiar with a lot of One OK Rock songs but I couldn't help but notice this song when I heard it play after the movie (you guessed it) Rurouni Kenshin during the credits. Long have I waited for the single to be released! Anyway, I liked the song so much that I decided to make a simple piano cover. Hope you enjoyyyyy~
*This is my own arrangement, I have no piano sheet, sorry!!! :( *

Here we are now Staring eye to eye Is it really you I'm looking to
One step away A moment closer and I'll jump Into your arms
Trouble was the way to realize Only it was worth the while And now, I'm not afraid
Take my hand today We will fly High And we'll run away Nothing more to say
Leave it all behind Don't look back I'm finally with you (I finally found you) O love
Here we are now staring eye to eye With your hand in mine intertwined A kiss away and in a blissful life I know I'll stay Forevermore1/3 No Junjou Na Kanjou ⅓の純情な感情 (SIAM SHADE) - [Guitar Cover by Mel]Mel Mayuga2014-12-27 | LIKE MY FACEBOOK PAGE GUYS~! :D : http://facebook.com/melmayuga
Decided to make a new guitar cover before the year ended! I've had such a roller coaster ride of a year - what with getting hitched, moving to a new country and starting a new life altogether. Thankfully I brought my *tools* with me! :) Well except for a piano... I'm in the process of buying one hopefully sooner.
This is the FIRST and hopefully not the last Siam Shade song I will cover coz man... Daita. He is from another world. XD I know I can't get his sound with my teeny-weeny amplifier but... hell, I love Siam Shade, all their songs and Rurouni Kenshin haha. So yeah, hope you enjoy~!
PS: I've noticed how the guitar volume sounds low when played through other speakers... I'm sorry about that! It sounds so much better with a Macbook speaker (where I mixed it haha).

Long time no cover! Ever since my J-rock covers got deleted, I kinda didn't want to make any new ones for fear of my poor channel. But since YouTube took out my strikes and because many people have been requesting for a new cover, I decided to make one and here it is! I just loooove love love the girls of Scandal so much! Hope you guys like this cover!
PS: My FB page just reached 3k likes (*,*)... maybe if I reach 3.5k I'll upload another cover! ;D PPS: Presenting my brand new baby, Fender Telecaster American Special!
