Special Thanks to Shinkonet (note reference)BUTCHER VANITY 【Stelyos】「FLAVOR FOLEY」Stelyos2024-11-15 | Thank you for waiting.
A song about a visceral captivation, from the least hungry man. Mad props to the FLAVOR FOLEY team for making such an addictive, enticing song, it was both fun and challenging to cover.
I didn't mean to take so long with the full cover, life has been very busy. Even so, I worked quite hard on it when I could. I changed the key to -1 mostly because I was able to maintain overall better vocal stability with that small alteration.

Song by Vane Lily / FLAVOR FOLEY【UTAU】Memories of You (2024 ver.)【Galvan Ize】[キミの記憶]Stelyos2024-08-10 | Originally for Denki Sai / Galvan Ize 11th Anniversary back on May 14th.
I covered Kimi no Kioku in full this year.
Previously, I only covered a smaller piece of Kimi no Kioku as part of Galvan Ize's first voicebank release demo reel.
The prior version from 2013 is unlisted now, because I was not happy with his original voicebank back then.
This cover mostly showcases Galvan's svelte (G3), aero (B3), and gale (D4?) pitches within the THEORY voicebank.
Many thanks to Maiden for the wonderful video.

I re-covered Iriya Iriya in full.
The song was part of Denki Sai's very first voicebank release demo reel.
You can still view the 2013 version of Iriya Iriya on YouTube, though I rarely look back at my old work.
This cover mostly showcases Denki's flux (F3), core (B3), and surge (A4) pitches within the PROOF voicebank. Surge had been previously glitchy, unstable, and unusable, so I very recently re-recorded it.
Many thanks to Maiden for the electrifying video.

「 lyrics 」 Sun's up I'm still awake How much more can I take
When will my life begin If I don't like the skin I'm in
Obligations a constant pile Stretched so thin I've lost my way Don't fill my shoes to walk a mile Losing track of night 'n day
Always get told to "Just keep smilin'," But I don't wanna hear it just go away Barely able to say that I'm trying Will I ever get to be just "okay"?
Take me away from here My head drifting above high tide I want to disappear Never ever agreed to this wild ride
Time's precious, the clock tick-tocks Sick of the pressure to keep up that speed Do I have to answer that knock-knock? Shell of my former self, can't succeed
Affixed to the bright frame in the dark evening Eyes all dry, my bones fried Mouth a prayer, hope hangs on a string Thought of death, but I just don’t have the time
Too drained to just keep giving All of myself within this life Hard to learn the love of living When I’m so busy trying to survive
Take me away from here It's a pain just to be I want to disappear The only thing I want is to be free

I meant to finish and upload this when Chinese New Year started but I got sick and busy.
A more recent (kinda) project I did, on and off. I actually wanted to cover this song for ages, but didn't ever finish a cover of it back then because I was indecisive towards what duo UTAU I should use.
Anyways, I always thought a duet with Pumpking and Denki Sai would be really fun. Object head combo power.
Snowy recorded some power vowels / end breaths for Pumpking by my request, to help me finish this cover, and we collaborated together on the main illustration. Thank you, Snowy, my twin dragon.

Janri reached out to ask for a vocal duet with me last year on this song. I've loved this song for a long time, and after hearing his voice, I said yes! He has a wonderful dark, airy tone.
He was also kind enough to do the mix, and ask for additional artists and video editors to contribute to this project.
I'm honored, and very thankful for everyone's hard work, as the end result turned out beautiful.

I've not really made anything for his character birthday before in recent memory. (I'm a terrible character owner, sue me)
I had originally planned a different song for his birthday, but it got somewhat over-ambitious so I quickly switched gears to this short song, and had some fun with the visuals.
Regarding Galvan (and Denki)'s voicebanks, THEORY and PROOF, I was away from vocal synth projects for a good several years mostly due to offline matters. I intend to resume work on them actively into this year.

Snowy (@hakailer ) requested that I cover this sometime last year, which I did a draft of, then vastly helped out with the wonderful illustration featured in the video.
At last, I got around to polishing the cover, and video editing it.
Death & Rebirth (or Funeral & Rebirth) has no existing translations out there, so I also wanted to try my hand at interpreting the lyrics to make the song more accessible to an English speaking audience, which Snowy also helped out with, checking the Japanese to English translation accuracy and interpretation. A few small artistic liberties were taken with writing. Basically, Snowy is MVP for the production of this song.
Thank you very much.

I had Covid when I sang this originally and posted a draft on Tumblr last year. (which I originally mentioned was bronchitis or lung inflammation, haha) I resang it recently and finished it for YT.
I adore many of this producer's songs, though Lamprey Hole in particular is an earworm for me. I thought the duet structure was a fun idea to try singing with my UTAU.

2020 Edit: I edited the title to "Withdrawn", because I see the lyrics as more befitting that. Previously, it was "Introvert". I also added an MP3.
I'm introverted but actually I don't relate that much to this song, I just think it's a good, underrated song.
Covered it once in 2014 a long time ago though didn't show anyone except one person. I redid it recently.

Mix - Illustration - Video - Vocals ➤ Steel ( You are here )RainShine feat. Darby Cupit【Original】Stelyos2018-08-09 | This was a song I composed last year to honor the memory of my friend, Moony, passing away.
I requested for my friend Darby to front the main vocal performance and I was so grateful that he helped out, because despite this being my own composition, I conveniently made it out of my comfortable singing range and I couldn't do it justice.
A lot in my work and personal life was going on last year when I originally composed this piece, so I couldn't immediately finish off the visual aspects of this. I picked it up again this year to complete the project.
Her birthday was August 6th. I meant to have it uploaded 3 days ago, but I still have a lot on my plate right now. Nevertheless, I did my best to ensure that the work was polished both in visual and audio before I published it.
I hope she is happy with the result. She deserved nothing but the best because she gave us nothing but her best when she was still here with us.
Here are some words from @DarbyCupit
"Moony brought light into the lives of all those she touched. She was a truly good person and someone who inspired good in others. Her passing was unexpected and it reminded us how fragile and precious life can be. Steel and I wanted to express this in Rainshine, and we hope you all appreciate it and remember to let your loved ones know that you love them."
We both love this song and decided to duet it together!
Have been sitting on this project for probably about a year, because mixing is hard - so sorry, Sym ;(
Our vocal performances might have aged a bit from when we first recorded to publishing date. Sym decided to be amazing and put together an incredible video with all the illustrations and animations. Thank you so much for your hard work!
End of summer cover. (I had this uploaded back in Sept but I didn't publish it because of copyright/country block stuff. I can't do anything about it either :/ oh well)

"Summer Ticket Stub" by MikitoP, Originally Sung by Hatsune Miku
( April 2017 Edit: I put the UST DL back up so people may continue to cover this song with UTAU. the only change I made is that I cleared the old tuning from it so it's easier to work with. )
A redo cover I considered doing for a while. Another new pitch was implemented, but it needs tweaks and re-recordings because of how long it's been since I've last worked on the THEORY bank..
The original video with the 7 color morning .UST release and cover (posted originally in May 15, 2013) is now on private due to not really liking it anymore. It was posted as thanks for 350 subscribers, covered with Electrolysis Galvan vb and now I have about 4.5k subs?... So...thank you to those, both old and new, who have been.. sticking around through my inconsistent uploads.
I intend to redo Thoughtful Zombie as well, due to various people telling me they enjoyed that cover- but I really want to get around to posting new songs too. I also hate how anal retentive I get on reworking old work because sometimes I think even redoing it doesn't sound good enough. ah well.
I met @symply_Sym through Undertale the Musical project. (@ManontheInternet ) It just so happened by sheer coincidence they also liked Vocaloid music.. so.. this duet came about as a result of excitedly discussing that!
I really enjoyed working on this, even though this was a challenging song to sing. I've wanted to cover this specific song for a very long time (whether it was through singing or UTAU).. so, I'm happy I got to duet it with Sym.
April 2017 Edit: Finally got around to releasing the UST, I'm sorry it took me so long. I had to edit the files so they can be used with any UTAU, from how I editted heavily with Denki/Galvan's version.
First of all, HUGE thank you to Matsu for helping me with amazing character illustrations, and HUGE thank you to Justin/Pkotetsu for helping with this gorgeous video, I wouldn't have been able to get this project done without either of your help and I'm forever grateful to both of you.
Secondly, this is for Denki and Galvan's 3rd Anniversary, my split personality/voiced UTAU. They were first released in May 14, 2013 on illustrated/animated demo reels.
Due to people being busy and events coming up during those times, is why this project was finished late. Better late than never though.
Thirdly, I realize this song is basically considered a Vocaloid classic, and old at this point, but it was an interest to begin with because this is the first UTAU cover I've ever attempted, and I wanted to re-visit it as a comparison based on how much I've improved since then in terms of mixing, UTAU tuning, UTAU voicebank creation and such. I also learned to make .USTs along my journey, so even though several .USTs of this song already exist, I made my own .UST to both challenge myself and also make this cover completely my own.
Fourthly, As for if I'm going to give this .UST out, not sure. I doubt anyone else wants to cover this song at this point of time but yeah.
Lastly, In regards to the voicebanks used, this cover uses Denki Sai PROOF and Galvan Ize THEORY. Denki has 3 pitches right now, and Galvan has 4. I intend to have both banks (hopefully) be 5-6 pitches at their final stages.
As for when they may be released in full, I have no idea because my life is hectic. I'm thinking in the tail-end/late this year though if things go well. I haven't had much time to work on their banks, and they're still far from a releasable state. Until then, I'm just probably going to see about posting a mixture of smaller projects or things I had been working on, from the backburner, when I have the chance. Thank you for watching!
I did this quick cover some months ago on SC after hearing Yunosuke's FIRE Remix. We were both in the same boat of not getting to play the game!! I love Shiokara Bushi as a song in general, it is catchy. Will cover another Splatoon song soonish too.
After being super late to join the Splatoon party (Finally played the game recently, loved it, as I expected to) decided to finish up the cover art I had for it and video, fine tuned the song a little and bump it to YT

Trying to upload more solo sing things in general cuz I've done a bazillion group things but barely any solos, and get over my fear of the "set in stone" final connotation YT has .. I upload roughly 0.5 sung covers a year to YT on average. Maybe less,
I posted this awhile back on my soundblog and Chase reminded me to "finish" it. Mix is meh because there's no inst. and I have no time to arrange this song so you hear Shoichi's vocals faintly in the BG, it's kind of lucky my voice texture is similar
I didn't have much to add besides small mix fix stuff, and I had no energy to re-sing or add anything so it's more or less the same from before... hope people like it

Thank you to Gabicho who is also passionate about Kikuo and translated this song to English.【UTAU】human (an android works) 【Galvan Ize】「PowaPowaP」Stelyos2015-12-08 | A very belated, and rather minor dedication to Powapowa P in his (far too early) passing. This was an old cover I did roughly 1-2 years ago, but reworked it spontaneously.
I love Ryo's work - he made very unique, charming, and eclectic compositions that fell within musical genres that I enjoyed. My favorite songs of his are "Phantom Thief Never Makes a Mistake", "At the Mercy of a Dream", and "Someone who Sings Songs".
While music was the only medium I really understood or knew of him as an individual, all the same it communicated abstract, emotional nuances that doesn't normally come across in regular verbal communication. I wouldn't have been able to learn fluent Japanese fast enough to talk to him directly, so I think listening to someone's music is truly something special. Whenever you listen to someone's composed music, it seems like listening to a piece of their subconscious/soul. Something about that resonates with me on a level I can't quite explain. A lot of his music definitely touched me and I will be keeping that with me for years to come.
Thank you so much for your incredible talent and music, Ryo. I'm really sorry your life was such a struggle.
I did have a lot of your songs I wanted to work hard on and perfect for a long time but haven't released due to being self-critical. I will very likely be uploading more covers of your work in the future as time permits.

Happy belated Birthday again Justin! Your birthday was the 27th of September! SO SORRY for taking awhile with the video post after the SC post, but I hope you like the final product! I wish I could've done more for it visually or fine-tuned it more since it was a very experimental video. (I rarely use 3D planes and cameras in AE so everytime I use it, I forget how it works. ) It was fun to construct and embellish a sort of animated/illustrated scene and see how much mileage I can squeeze out of it, though I'm not pleased with the camera/motion work here.
Dakini is a year old UST project that I finally brought to completion upon Justin's very enthusiastic and kind request. Thank you for encouraging me to finish this project man!
My computer recently stopped acting dumb after I re-tuned up the machine so I was able to finish this video. I got so much overdue work to do.. ahh.
edit: SHIET, it really didn't help my computer was actively fighting against me while making this, so I think there's some small mistakes in the render. My bad. I need to get new parts. ---

Just for fun, hoping to post more song covers on YT when I have a small chance. Probably will vary between .UST releases and PROOF/THEORY voicebank tests. Lately I've been focusing more on THEORY though.
In Honor of Toby's 5th Anniversary I decided to revise a mix (slightly), draw for, crank out a video, and Youtube upload an old Toby cover that was originally Tumblr exclusive. #throwback..thurs..FRIDAY close enough. (I still need to upload the backlog of Kazuko stuff someday, once I'm happy with the quality of the associated USTs/mixes, RIP)
I know you don't do UTAU as much anymore in favor of singing, Chase, but Toby was the first UTAU I've ever heard from you back then, and I was really wow'd by his powerful/expressive voice and how well you crafted UTAU covers. I then proceeded to go spelunking in your stuff to discover Kazuko and your singing work, and IT WAS ALL GOOD SHIT/HISTORY FROM THERE. I think "Kagerou Days" was the first UTAU cover I heard from you so Toby has a special place in my heart for your UTAU work, even though I tend to use Kazuko more for audio projects.
Anyways, YEAH. I would have chosen Setsuna Plus to revise but IT WAS THE END OF SUMMER, Splash Free is more time sensitive and I've been wanting to upload more old Tumblr or SC mixes on my backlog to Youtube. so there it is. The only changes I've honestly really made was revised mixing adjustments and replacing Galvan Electrolysis with Galvan THEORY. Enjoy!

This is something different from most of the stuff I post on my channel. Hope it's alright.
I made this mashup awhile ago, but revised it more recently in terms of mastering/mixing.
Pendulum was one of my favorite music groups for awhile (particularly around the 2006-2008 timeframe when I listened to them the most frequently.) I didn't really dabble in music very often at that time apart from sporadic instrumentals/originals.
This video is a preview demonstration of Galvan Ize THEORY, which shows 3 pitches. (mostly the core bank with traces of lower and higher)
The eventual whole bank (4 pitches planned) is still a work in progress. It will get a different video and song later.
I released the core monopitch bank as a successor/replacement of his first VCV (which will be taken offline) for people to try until I have more time to finish the full bank later. The banks that are not included in the download are the lower and higher pitch.
I've always wanted to cover Lemm, and I hope to cover more Lemm soon. I love Lemm, he's my top favorite producer right next to Kikuo.
Thank you so much Saru for the beautiful art of Galvan! It helped me a lot in my time of being so busy. I hope I haven't butchered it too much with all the color shifts.
"The Au Lait" by Lemm, Originally Sung by Hatsune Miku, .UST by Kibka, Harmonies/Edit by Steel Translation by Steel, helped by Saint♔ (Some lines borrowed from BerrySubs) youtube.com/watch?v=dvC__Vc4iPo
This video is a preview demonstration of Denki Sai PROOF, which shows 2 pitches. (There is a relatively equal distribution between low and high pitches). Galvan THEORY is used on the soft distant parts.
The eventual whole bank (4 pitches planned) is still a work in progress. It will get a different video and song later.
I released the core monopitch bank as a successor/replacement of his first VCV (which will be taken offline) for people to try until I have more time to finish the full bank later. The bank that isn't included in the download is the lower pitch.
I found this song by lumo just by randomly browsing nicovideo from song to song. I really like the psychotic electronic energy that progresses into a sort of calm sound, and thought it'd work great for Denki's voice.
Thank you so much for helping me with the translation Saint ♔!!

Caeles】[吹っ切れた]Stelyos2015-05-04 | I've always wanted to do this. If I had more time I would've done lipsync too but it was hard enough trying to find enough time just to pull this together... ¯\_[ツ ;;]_/¯
I haven't posted any Caeles covers on youtube in over a year -he had a 2nd anniversary that passed over the summer that I was basically too busy to do anything for, so this sort of makes up for that.?¿ sort of.
Anyways, this is more video practice basically, I learnt new mixing tricks and recorded a few new sounds for him for this, but nothing significant enough to warrant an actual bank update. Took 1.5-2 days to scrape it all together. Special thanks to my awesome buddy Saint for helping with upload, and giving the video aesthetically pleasing subtitles and more lens flares!
I didn't do much, I was too busy taking selfies with moths - Sánge
For some odd reason I make videos that take 40 hours long to render wtf ANYWAY this song was fun to sing but I'm a little sad that we couldn't make it in time because of the render, but I had fun -Pancake
The video is faulty because I had to get a crappy render of it to upload it at all within a "reasonable time." I have more school finals to pursue and I can't leave my computer running for a 40-50 hour render (didn't even make it to grace period.)
We tripped over our own garden vines on the way out of the garden while carrying a feast on our way to the tea party and suffered some casualties but we made it, even if the tea party was long over by the time we got there. Thank you for all the support and love for our group in Teacup Trio Battle,
Goodbye! -Steel
【Round 2 Theme】 "Where did you go? Please wake up the dormouse, his tea is getting cold."
【Interpretation】 We "e-scape"d to the future.
"e-scape" is a song about gradual realization from a state of ignorance and denial to the state of accepting and knowing. It progresses in the same fashion as one would in the manner of being in a long slumber, heading towards an "awakening", a future of sorts. The past is slumber, and we are leaving sleep behind, turning on the emergency alarms! This is the process of waking the dormouse up.
Special Thanks, Zer0 for helping me mix check at one point.
【Misc】 Maso Story - Steel did all the (traditional) animation, some extra graphics, backgrounds, and sprites for this while finals was going on (and he is still in the middle of them) and didn't finish all the art until 1 day from deadline. He finished the mix and his own singing on deadline day. He subsequently went through the 9 circles of hell on deadline day trying to get this shit rendered at all from AE.
Sánge keeps getting harassed by his parents nonstop and they wont let him sing ever, and he has way too much work to do all the time and too little free time to relax.
Headphones recommended for listening to our entry!
Good day, my name is Steel. The other two gentlemen of our group are Pancake and Sánge. Our trio is "Achromatic Garden", a garden variety of voicetypes and talents. I did the mix, art and art assets, and a sing portion. We delivered donuts and tea to this party!
AY PANCAKE HERE I did a making of the video and sing with these guys enjoy (I apologize about my sick sounding tone in the video, I have the flu atm aha;; )
eyyy its Sánge I did the scripting and some mastering other than that all I did was get sick and pass out a few times ( =____=);;
【Round 1 Theme】 "The Mad Hatter's favorite tea is Green Tea. But why is a raven like a writing desk?"
【Interpretation】 Our trio deliberated over what the answer of this might be, originally wanting to take a direct, literal interpretation of the theme by incorporating the key elements mentioned of the riddle. We considered answers that would lend to the riddle to make sense, "Because Poe wrote on both," as well as song choices that would address that answer, but-
We ultimately went with the canon intent of the author, that there is no true answer to the riddle when he originally wrote it. Lewis Carroll, the author of the book, "Alice in Wonderland", where the riddle was extracted from, never intended for the riddle to have an answer.
And so, we chose the song "Donut Hole," a song of trying to recollect memories that may or may not have happened, which is much like Alice's Adventure into Wonderland, which may or may not have happened. The length of the song, ultimately leads to the final line, "Your name is -", where there is no answer when you would expect there to be one.
A warning: If you wish to cover this song, there is no official off vocal for this particular song; I made an edit of Kikuo's on-vocal, which is provided in the .UST download .rar; it's not a perfect vocal remove because the instrumental quality will be destroyed if I go any further. It will be harder to mix with deep/male vocals. If Kikuo himself does not want his work edited/used in this manner, I will agree to take this work down, and I expect you to agree to this as well, when you make a cover of this song.
(wtf, the video rendered the wrong version of the mp3 ;( there is one lyric mistake that I fixed, that is in the MP3 download, but the fix is not in the video for some reason, so please forgive it.)
uRRRGH it feels like forever since I've done a normal video. What even is a normal video anymore. Something that isn't some, big stupidly overambitious project, maybe.
At the moment I just want to release some UST projects I've been withholding, because that's all I have time for at the moment, so there we go.
Yuuki Yasune is amazing! She has such a great voice, so I did this cover with her, using her RUSH and SOFT voicebank. I tried some experimental things with the video's cover art/animation, so I hope it is enjoyable to watch. Some things have been changed since the soundcloud cover I posted awhile back, such as voicebank usage, small mixing details and some lyric errors.
