Cover of Dionne Warwicks Thats What Friends Are For by Mew and Kiyoteru Hiyama. This was another ambitious project that ended up becoming more complicated than I expected. I initially didnt realize there were in fact four artists in this song - Dionne Warwick, Stevie Wonder, Gladys Knight, and Elton John - and thought it was a duet between the first two. So I improvised and had Mew do all the female parts and Kiyoteru do all the male parts. Also, I threw in something extra at the end. Just listen for it to find out :)

Cover of Minnie Ripertons Lovin You performed by Miku Hatsune (Soft Append voicebank). I experimented with different vocaloids after making the Aoki Lapis cover of the same song to find out how they sound like, and I found Miku Hatsunes Soft voicebank to actually fit nicely with the song.

Cover of Vonda Shepards Baby Dont You Break My Heart Slow as performed by Miku Hatsunes new English voicebank. This is my first project with the new English Miku voicebank since I purchased her just a few days ago. I took Gumis version, replaced the vocals, then edited the text and tuning. Overall Im not exactly impressed with the new voicebank; its not really as clear and fluent English as say Kaitos English voicebank. But at least its somewhat more English than this Engrish cover of the song done by Mikus Soft append voicebank http://youtu.be/SCpgxxUTrlo

Africa by Toto covered by Hiyama Kiyoteru with Kamui Gakupo and Kagimine Len on backing vocals.
One of my all time favorite hits from the 80s from one of my all time favorite bands. Ill most likely make more Toto covers with Kiyoteru Hiyama singing them.
