So this has been in my WIPs forever. Last spring I read The Secret Garden by Frances Hodgson Burnett, and then got the idea of covering the Vocaloid song of the same name. The problem was that I had inspiration for the idea, but not the actual tuning, so I let it sit and slowly worked on it (actually had it on pause for some time because of finals).
Also I'm glad this one has an MMD motion, as last time I used Ashlyn, I really wanted to make an MMD video to go with it, but there was no motion data and animating it myself would have taken a thousand years XD
Additionally, you may be wondering why I used a flower instead of a microphone. It was partially out of laziness because the microphone placement was not always proper in relation to the mouth and I didn't want to fix the arm position so much, but also because I felt it was redundant since Ashlyn wears a headset.
