It’s finally uploaded!! I’m only—! (checks watch) —one year late!!

I actually started this cover back in July of last year right around when Remo and I started working on the Stranger collab. Amber had just bought Fukase and I’d been eyeing him for a while, so I ended up snagging a few renders off of her to see how he handled. Monster Crush was a song I’d been wanting to cover for a long while and the original tuning was simple enough I didn’t have to worry too much about long-distancing the whole ordeal, so I was able to tune it fast and get a rough cover done in practically no time at all.

Then came the Strangers upload, the thing met 200 views //fast,// (the agreement being 200 views and I'd buy Fukase w) and I went ahead and caved and got the boy. Went ahead and re-rendered what I’d had, fixed up a couple parts, added in a couple more layers of harmonies, remixed the whole thing and bam—!! That’s pretty much the version you’re hearing here (save for some minor last minute lyric error fixes and mix changes).

Except all that happened around August and then I never touched it again whoops

I originally wanted to get this video done in time for Fukase’s anniversary this year, but January hit me hard and I couldn’t really ground myself long enough to get some art done and do a basic sub. I’d wanted to make another lipsync PV with a bunch of cool movements and effects (maybe a little more complex than the secret ごめんね PV), but when After Effects expired, all hopes of that went down the drain. I spent a lot of months dreading working on it because I’d built up such a huge expectation for myself on it and I knew I couldn’t meet it.

Then came last week—started on a different Fukase cover, really wanted to upload it, but told myself that Monster Crush had to be the first Fukase solo work on my channel, and somehow that gave me enough motivation to throw out all the ideas I’d had before and make something simple instead. Working with AviUtl was a bit of a pain (considering there's no interpolation curves as near as I can tell) but I think I managed well enough.

I’ve never really drawn intense forced perspective before! It was honestly kinda difficult and I still can’t tell if it works or not. Ten million references and experimental sketches only helped to a certain point w. Regardless, I had a lot of fun finally getting to draw the Fuka bean. Definitely a change of pace, and a good exercise at that!!

And I had a lot of fun on this cover, too!! It was a nice, easy tune and honestly really relaxing to do. While Fukase’s vowels can be a little strange and his long s/sh sets can be a bother, it’s honestly all worth it to finally have a bank with a powerful upper range //and// a cross-synth-able whisper bank. Fukase’s a good bean! A good red boy!! Cherish him!!
