What a fun and delightful outfit!! Wait, hold on―isn't that just the Switch color scheme...?

It's the ZOLA anniversary once again!! And as any good, dutiful ZOLA owner should, I evenly spread my love generously between all three boys and not just my obvious favorite―/joke

Jokes aside, I really did hope on this year being the year I finally went through with my plans to pump out three separate covers, one for each boy, all with a fun corresponding "w" theme between them, but things sort of fell through on account of the pressure school put on me toward the end of the semester, and I ended up having to put the other two aside for another day.

But!! The work that I put in wasn't for nothing!! If I ever get a chance to get back to it, all I need is to mix one and finish the tuning on the other, and then two short videos later, they'll both be done!! So that definitely makes future anniversary plans a little easier w

As for what I did manage to put out, this is a song I've been wanting to cover with KYO practically since day one!! And I actually gave it a pretty good shot back in the day before I got tuckered out and put it off to the side for the next five years. You can actually listen to that old version over on my tumblr if you want w: miodiodavinci.tumblr.com/post/76701140433/okay-time-to-spice-things-up-mixed-work-in

The VSQx file got shelved, and for the longest time I didn't really feel like I had the endurance to tackle tuning the rest, until this year I finally decided to see how far my tuning's come and give it another go. Fun fact: the render you hear in the video was made off the original file I worked on in 2014!! A lot of the old pitchbends and little flairs are still there, only now they're drowning in the usual notebending mess I like to make w.

I tried my best at leaving KYO's samples alone for the most part, so it sounds just the //slightest// bit different than something like Ai Kotoba where practically every note was composed of a short consonant note followed by a pure vowel. Also, I threw in a little GEN editing while I was at it!! It's not much, but it makes a halfway decent effect when compared to without w

also i told myself this entire time i was going to keep this simple and yet w

At the very least, I managed not to get caught up on the LipSync renders, if only because setting up the model in 3/4ths view was difficult to begin with, and the setup I used to time and merge it to the base artwork in AviUtl was exasperating to work with―so it's definitely a little choppier and "lofi" than Donut Hole or even Ai Kotoba w

But!! Did you see those little extra animations?? It was my first time doing something like that in LipSync!! The effect probably would have worked out a little more if I'd drawn the frames in an actual animation program where I could flip back and forth to check the movement, but for being thrown together in Krita last minute, they ain't too bad!!

Hoo!! I feel sort of silly and maybe a little embarrassed, but when don't I, to be honest? I'm throwing out this KYO to the world!! I went wild and gave him a real disaster design (not nearly as much of a disaster as it was going to be, though―sleeveless vest over a bright striped tank top, anyone?? i even spared you the silly headset he originally had w) and I chose a bunch of colors I liked for the PV!! Someone out there's gotta like this, so might as well put it out there and hope it brightens up their day!!

This KYO's full to the brim with love, and I hope you'll enjoy!!
