Memento Mori continues to release amazing songs, and this newer song is now one of my favorites, with its choral, ethereal tones. Priscilla, like Sol, is an absolute cinnamon roll and must be protected. There is currently no instrumental out for this song, so I had to do very rudimentary editing to remove most of the vocals. The harmonies were a nightmare as always too T.T But as always, thanks for listening and let me know what you think!

I have recently been addicted to the Oshi no Ko manga, and was super excited waiting for the anime to premiere. I wasn't instantly hooked on the opening, but after seeing the MV and lyrics it quickly grew on me. The harmonies were a nightmare to try and figure out so apologies in advance if they are wrong! I can't wait for the rest of the series - would highly recommend watching it if you haven't already. As always, thanks for listening and let me know what you think!

Memento Mori has been my latest gacha game addiction, and is probably the most gorgeous game I have ever played, with its watercolor fantasy aesthetic to emotional songs and character stories. My favorite character song from the get-go has been Florence's due to Wakana from Kalafina singing it. I had a lot of fun singing in the opera-like tone of Kalafina songs and would highly recommend checking out the game or at least the OST. As always, thanks for listening and let me know what you think!

Recently I have been listening to Tamako Market songs again and finally decided to post a cover of the ending. The ending was one of the earliest songs I had recorded but I only ever posted the opening on YouTube because I wasn't confident in my cuter voice back then. It's nice to see how far I've come since then and I hope to continue to get better in the future. I actually have not seen the series yet but it is on my plan to watch list. As always, thanks for listening!

Back with another Love Live Sunshine song and my favorite Love Live song of all time! I love the lanterns in this MV and the dresses that they wear are also gorgeous. I ended up using three different takes with varying tones and pans to give the vocals a more full-bodied effect that a solo might lack. I have a lot of different recording projects but haven't found a satisfying take in a while so not sure when the next post will be. Regardless, thank you for listening and let me know what you think!

Mawaru Penguindrum is easily one of my top 5 anime of all time, and re-watching it recently has given me a newfound love for it, as I continue to notice things I didn't before. I highly recommend you watch it if you haven't yet for its quirky yet meaningful imagery and plot. As always, thanks for listening and let me know what you think!

Back with another procrastination cover! I fell in love with this song after hearing it on @Zeldacw 's stream, so a big thanks to her for introducing me to the song and would highly recommend checking her out if you have not already! (youtube.com/c/Zeldacw) I have not played the video game but I fell in love with the ethereal folk song style which is one of my favorite genres of music to listen to, in songs and series like Spice and Wolf and Mushoku Tensei. I tried adding harmonies and ad libs but apologize as it is a bit rushed and still something I need to work on. As always, thanks for listening!

Hi everyone! Residency has been kicking my butt so it's been a while, but I hope you all have been well! I finally have been getting back into watching anime and listening to more music again, and hearing Ina cover this song finally gave me the motivation to pick up this long-lost project and finally try to finish it. I also have been watching Mushoku Tensei which has a similar atmosphere and musical style. Spice and Wolf is one of the series that I watched early on and Holo is still my favorite anime character overall. I have read most of the LN as well and highly recommend it. As for the song, I tried to figure out some harmonies but most of the secondary parts are just an octave down. Maybe someday I'll do them properly...
As always, thanks for listening and let me know what you think!

Lyrics:
As the birds in the sky know their way back home
I strum my guqin and wait for your return
Though a sorrowful sigh sounds between the notes
I still cherish the past that we shared
In this world separation is part of fate
Though our paths will not cross I still hope in vain
Yet I hear a dizi play a long-lost song
And a voice I can never forget
All those years spent searching now fade away
Turning with a smile, you call out my name
Meeting you again after all this time, I feel I could cry
Now this time around, I won’t leave your side
Hand in hand, a pair clad in black and white
Traveling the world, growing old together in this new life
Mo Dao Zu Shi is back again with its long-awaited season 3! I was very disappointed to find out that Yi City, my favorite arc, was cut so short, but the music and animation have been great so far! The art for the ending is so beautiful and I fell in love with the song instantly so I decided to make lyrics for it too. I am also watching and enjoying Can Ci Pin (as Priest is my favorite author), and looking forward to the live action for 2ha. As always, let me know what you think and thanks for watching!

It's been a while! Lots of big things have been happening in my life lately, including graduating and starting a new job at a hospital, so recording has gone to the backburner. I have many different project ideas but this was a spur-of-the-moment recording while procrastinating my boards. Yorushika's songs are super catchy and this one is my favorites of hers. As always, let me know what you think and thanks for listening!

I have been busy with rotations and board prep classes, but I wanted to post a quick cover I did in the meantime before things slow down! As you probably know if you've been following my channel, but Aimer is one of my favorite singers and I was super excited when I learned that she was performing the ending songs for the Japanese dub of MDZS, and her ending for the second season is just as good as the first! I love the transition into the chorus with Jin Ling in the background for maximum feels, and I can't wait to see how they will adapt season 2! I have several other projects that I am working on at the moment, so hopefully I will be back soon with another cover, but until then thanks for listening!

This song has been stuck in my head for the past week or so; I love its jazzy vibes which remind me of La Vanille and after finding Mr.ACCORDION's cover I really wanted to cover it. I mean, best to cover a calm soothing song when my life is an overwhelming mess right? *sweats* Even as I record this I'm putting off the topics I have to research and patients I have to work up for tomorrow... Anyways, I hope you enjoy this stress cover and as always, thanks for listening!

Wonder Egg Priority is a series that uses whimsical and fantastical imagery to hide darker undertones and themes. It reminds me very much of Ikuhara works that I love like Mawaru Penguindrum, which I also highly recommend! The opening also grew on me as I continued to watch the series so I decided to give recording it a shot. I'm always happy to hear more songs with Shuka in them and I also look forward to seeing her act in more series too. Thanks for listening and Yousoro!

Back again with another product of procrastination! This video is dedicated to Blake. Thank you for introducing me to this beautiful song - unrequited love, like life, can be bittersweet but amazing all the same. Thank you for being one of the rays of sunshine in my life and I hope to be the same for you when you're feeling down. Love you lots!
Also a belated Valentine's day to all - I hope you all could spend time with loved ones, family, friends, and partners alike - or at least treat yourself to some discount chocolate after the fact like me :3 Back to the grind as usual, but hopefully I'll be back soon with another cover! As always, thanks for listening!

Nier Automata is my favorite video game of all time, and I am so excited for the Replicant remake coming out in April. This song has always been on my backlog to cover, and I finally got around to covering it! If the game is anything like the OST and its sequel, I am sure I'll love it. I highly recommend the series to anyone who enjoys a game with a great atmosphere and soundtrack! As always, thanks for listening and let me know what you think!

Took a break from BL novels to rewatch seasons 1 and 2 of Oregairu before heading into season 3 and I remembered how much I loved the series. I originally covered this song the first time I watched it when it was airing but since I was recording in my dorm at the time the audio quality was super poor. It's still up on the channel, but listen at your own discretion! This was also another chance to work on my harmonies and I probably went a little overboard...
I really enjoy the psychological monologue style of SOL series such as this one and Sangatsu no Lion. There are many lovable characters like Komachi and Totsuka, and I am Team Yukinon all the way, she's adorableeeee. As always, thanks for listening and let me know what you think!

I really got into the SVSSS ending song after watching Cu's recent stream and got inspired to make some lyrics for it! It was 3 AM when I made these and the original lyrics end up repeating so it is just the first half of the song though, sorry! I'm really looking forward to the next season, but until then I will have to bide the time with 2ha and other danmei novels. The lyrics are meant to be from Binghe's POV after he parts from SQQ (meanings are mostly implied, hopefully they're not spoilers!). As always, thanks for listening and let me know what you think!
Lyrics:
A mountain peak bathed in spring, green leaves gently fluttering
A disciple in white and Shizun by his side
Times of happiness he will keep for life
Holding his love in his arms, now left with only two scars
That young boy is no more, demons eat at his core
Biting back the pain as he swings his sword
A lone toast to drown out the sorrow
The one who once smiled at me is now long gone
Resentment is only fleeting
I still yearn for you in my dreams
Parting with our feelings left unsaid
My heart is filled with hatred, hope, and regret
So I will fight against the world
For a chance to see you once more
Last night the ending theme song for the Japanese dub of Mo Dao Zu Shi came out and I have been listening to it non-stop since then! They also decided to release a Japanese cover of the original opening, which I enjoy a lot more than the new Japanese opening and decided to give recording it a shot while waiting for someone to make an instrumental for the ending song. For those who can't sing Chinese like me, there is also a great English cover made by Robyn Ardery, who you should check out as well! My winter break is ending today so I am not sure when I will be back with another cover, but until then thanks for listening and let me know what you think!
Japanese lyrics transcribed by ear:
Arashi wa sugi sau
Odayaka na hibi yo
Nikushimi ni michi te yuku
Mujou na yume no you
Sawagashi you no gare hitori susumu
Furi ka eranai de
Kono michi wo shinji yuku
Kesenai kizu se wo tama wa yume wo samayou
Michi wa chikai no kasanaru kokoro
Irowasenai seigi e to
Ai to nikushimi no hazama de
Deai wa yume hito yo

After having passed 500 subscribers, I decided to go through my old videos for nostalgia and after hearing this song I realized my old cover was HORRIBLE and I could do it so much better now! My first cover of this song was seven years ago and was one of my first covers and it's honestly amazing to see how far I've come since then. Thank you again to everyone that has supported me thus far on my singing journey ❤️ The two "voices" you hear are my cute, higher pitched voice along with my normal singing voice as a way to make up for the three voice actresses that sing the original. As always, thanks for listening and let me know what you think!

I decided to do a quick one-take in celebration for the holidays and I also wanted to take the time to thank everyone who has subscribed to me. My channel has been fluttering around 500 subs for some time but I think I can safely say that I have over 500 subscribers now! Thank you so much for all of your support for my inconsistent and spur-of-the-moment posting. I hope everyone is having a wonderful Christmas or whatever holiday you celebrate and have a happy new year as well!

So I recently was binging a bunch of Aimer songs, and I came across this old gem of a song. I was introduced to Aimer through this series' ending, and both the series and ending were really good! Nice wintery vibe to fit the season right now, and it's also a shounen ai for those who are interested :3 Aimer is one of my favorite artists of all time, and I cannot recommend her songs enough. I will probably be back with MXTX content again soon, but I decided to go back to more of my usual content for once. As always, thanks for listening!

Just managed to finish making lyrics for this song in time for the new ending song to come out! Every episode has managed to make me fangirl and cheer me up, and I'm pretty sad that it'll be ending soon, but with the 3rd season of MDZS and other great donghuas and dramas coming up I'm sure it'll be ok! As always, let me know what you think and thanks for listening!
Lyrics:
Walking in rain, your hand in mine
Is this a dream or real life?
The plum blossoms have finally bloomed
I once again have returned to be at your side
After the flames, flowers return
And so, the waves of life flow
Heaven and hell are intertwined
A red ribbon will bind two lives
Wandering the world, traveling by your side
As you reveal the truth with your light
I will remain with you and give my life as your devoted follower
A silken sash will wrap the two of us
Instrumental: Original Soundtrack

While I was on a mini recording spree I also decided to try out this song! I haven't seen the drama so I don't have any lyrics, but the original song is in Chinese which is totally NOT my native language. I had to slow down the song to try and get pronunciation better so please cut me some slack OTL. As a last minute recording it also doesn't have any editing, but I actually think I prefer the natural vocals for this song. I fell in love with the song despite never having seen the series, but from the soundtrack I will definitely give it a shot in the future! As always, thanks for listening and let me know what you think!

Back again with another song from the MXTX universe! I haven't been able to get a good recording of One Flower One Sword and I happened to hear some great covers of this song so I decided to give it a shot. I've made lyrics for only about half of the song so far so I chose to sing the Japanese version - I'll probably post the English version someday once I finish. This song is probably my second favorite version of the "nameless song" behind WangXian and as soon as I heard it in the audio drama I fell in love with it. I am currently caught up with the donghua for Heaven Official's Blessing and am eagerly awaiting the last few episodes. I've also been branching out into Priest's works, listening to the audio drama for Sha Po Lang and reading Mo Du. If you have any other works to recommend, send them my way! As always, thanks for listening and I hope you enjoy!

Back with another cover from a MXTX series, Heaven Official's Blessing! I have been completely hooked on the donghua and recently finished the whole novel as well, and would highly recommend it especially for those who are fans of Mo Dao Zu Shi! I actually fell in love with One Flower, One Sword and made lyrics for that but haven't been able to get a good take so I decided to switch gears to this song instead. I wasn't really satisfied with the original lyrics so I decided to make completely new lyrics instead of loosely basing them off the original like usual. I also love the OST song "To share this Life Together for a very long time" but have yet to make lyrics for it. This song was extremely difficult for me to sing at its original pitch, as the original song goes as low as B2. I pitched it up and tried my best to hit the low note (now F3) but still need to work on my lower range more. As always though, thanks for listening and let me know what you think!
I also covered the ending song Bu San, check it out if you're interested!

Lyrics:
A silken sash filled with suffering of the past
Wraps around a poor man with a straw hat
Wandering this world with a pure and simple goal
To save the ones that betray and hurt him most
A young child he saved, sheltered from the rain
Would gladly give his life and his remains
As his fiery soul prays to never leave this world
So that his god may have one follower
One flower in the rain
Crushed and trampled yet again
Stands alone through its suffering and its pain
In bloom, in decay, I will still love you the same
Even if we must go our separate ways
I’ll return no matter how long it takes
Instrumental: Dio

This song is dedicated to Luka - thank you for getting me into this fandom and for always being my number one fan! I know you love Lan Xichen a lot so hope you enjoy this song! I have only two episodes left of the drama to watch and I am currently binging the Tian Guan Ci Fu novel so I might start covering some of those songs in the near future. I might cover a few more Untamed/MDZS songs before that but it depends on my mood to be honest. As always, thanks for listening and let me know what you think!
Lyrics:
Like the snow, the past fades and goes
Taking the ones I love most
And a small ripple starts and begins to grow
Now I am lost in the storm
Winds are blowing beyond my control
Splitting our paths we must go
Now my brothers are with me no more
Leaving me here on my own
A lone jade will rise ushering a new light
Hiding his suffering with a smile
As he plays a song mourning for those that he has lost
Where have our peaceful times gone?
Black and white, no one can decide
I will believe in the light
But a song meant to heal can eat at your core
And the guilt is all my own
Never wanting to pull out my sword
I no longer have control
In an instant the tables have turned
But why does my heart feel so cold?
I cannot escape the cruel whims of my fate
Only having myself to blame
The one thing I know in this cruel unforgiving world
Life is beyond my control
Instrumental: Kaycee Young

And after posting Lan Wangji's character song, I had to post his husband's song! Wei Wuxian is hands down my favorite character from Mo Dao Zu Shi, and Xiao Zhan does an amazing job of bringing him to life on The Untamed. His character song does a great job of encompassing his feelings of wanting to just be himself and walk his own path while the world only seeks to tear him down. There is one parallel that I made in both sets of lyrics, where here he asks for someone to stand beside him and LWJ answers that he will in Bu Wang. However, compared to the lyrics for Bu Wang, I made these lyrics follow his life events more like the original song did. As always, thanks for listening and let me know what you think!
Lyrics:
Surrounded by the lotus in the riverbed
Feeling a cool breeze, letting the leaves wash over me
I play a somber song and reflect on the past
Watching as the stars seem to wait to hear my story
Standing on the eves throwing flowers happily
Hoping that you alone would look at me
I am always brave so who cares what they all may say?
Even standing in flames, my heart remains
I had once fought with you over jars of Emperor’s Smile
Such a menial thing but those little times made life worthwhile
Was our time together in the cave all in my head?
After years have passed, our memories are just “what he said”
The young man who died on that day at Nevernight
Who would think that he never told a lie?
For a promise I picked up a flute over Suibian
But despite what I do, I’m blamed in the end
Latching on a headband, pulling accidentally
Why is it that I can remember that scene vividly?
Losing the ones I fought for, my golden core, and family
Is there someone else who will still stand by and believe me?
There’s no need to explain myself
I know that my heart is right
No need to make a legacy
I would rather drink all night
I’ll restart my journey, striving to live happily
With a jar of wine, bringing laughter and causing mischief
Is this meeting real or just another fantasy?
Our scars of the past will fade away now that you’re with me

Back again with another procrastination project! As expected it's also another MDZS/Untamed cover too 😂 I've been cycling through all of the character songs and making lyrics for all of them and I happened to finish one for Lan Wangji next! I also finished my lyrics for Wei Wuxian's character song so expect that in the near future! I have also been addicted to Tian Guan Ci Fu's donghua opening and original theme song but will wait to cover those until I read the book so I can make lyrics more true to the story. As always, let me know what you think and thanks for watching!
Lyrics:
Cold nights in Yun Shen
Filled with memories long gone
Not even these scars
Could come close to hurt this much
Jars of Emperor’s Smile
Left for one who will not come
Inquiry resounds
But I know you will not be found
Can you remember?
Of the promise we made long ago
To do what is right, even if it means taking a different path alone
Even if the world showers you in curses and resents
No matter how long
I won’t forget
Avoiding the dust
Bringing light to the chaos
But I can’t escape all the madness and the blame
Fine spring of Gusu, perfect picture of virtue
But what are these rules if they are all used against you?
Are you asking why?
Why the world is choosing wrong from right?
Why they turned on you even if you never lied and always told the truth
I realized too late that I should’ve let go of restraint
I’ll break all the rules
To stand by you
Can you remember?
Of the promise we made long ago
To do what is right, even if it means taking a different path alone
Meeting you again, I will follow you until the end
Now with one more chance
I won’t regret
Instrumental: RandoMu腐女子

Obviously my love for this series has not died and my procrastination has led me to binge create trans-lyrics and record a take of this. I never learned to do harmonies either so pleaseeeee go easy on me. At this rate, I'll probably cover every single song in this series until I stop OTL. Anyways time to sleep like 2 hours again as I catch up on work I procrastinated on, so until next time, thanks for watching!
Lyrics:
Petals scatter in the clear blue sky
Spring has come once again
Distant mountains hide in clouds
Waiting for someone long gone
A frozen heart yearns for his love
And the loquats are thrown about
Who is the one catching them?
Looking back on bittersweet memories
With you, feelings become untamed
For you, I will become unrestrained
Even after all the storm has passed
You remain innocent
Saying whatever is on your mind
Protecting what is right
Floating in a shaking boat watching Yunmeng drown in flames
Suddenly the dream fades away
With three thousand rules and a jar of emperor’s smile in your hand
Wangji’s silent but your heart resounds
At once, we were reunited
No need to keep the sorrows of the past
At last, after all these years to wait
My heart is warm again
With you, feelings become untamed
For you, I will become unrestrained
We will play this song of joy and pain
Never to part again

Back with another English cover from MDZS/CQL! All of the music for this series is gorgeous, and although I hate Xue Yang for what he did, Zhou Shen's voice is so heavenly it makes the lyrics sound so heartwrenching and even makes me feel for the character and his path to darkness with no one to rescue him unlike the other characters. This song is definitely my favorite, only closely followed by Bu You (Lan Xichen's character song). I did take phrases from the original translation but due to repetition I also took artistic liberties to fill in the rest of the verses. As always, let me know what you think and thanks for listening!
Lyrics:
The horsetail whisk, the broken soul
I sit holding them alone
Remembering us, so innocent
I hold a candy to my chest
Hurting those looking down on me
A child scorned, hatred reborn
Taking pity, you gave me a chance
I was the one who couldn’t see
As I stumble through the darkness searching for you
I still hope that I can find light inside
In this empty town, Heaven rained down
Giving my punishment
Every step I take I wish for liberation
As I fall into the abyss
I yearn for the past, but can’t turn back
So I continue to fight my destiny
Fate has been so cruel to me, crushing me in endless regret
Yearning desperately to fix the past
Choose right from wrong
But you’re long gone
All I thought about was making others suffer
Everyone should feel the same pain as me
And I tried so hard to tear you apart
Why are tears falling down?
You’re the only one who ever showed me kindness
I destroyed it with my own hands
If I set you free, would you forgive me?
Could we break the chains of fate and start again?

Hear, a sole flute sound rise
Through the darkest night
Right, wrong, it never lasts
How could we pretend it's just the past
How can we measure a life of loss and gain
Warm blood stains the coldest blade
Above the hills
Across the seas
The flute it cries, for bonds that never fade
Come take a drink for youth, its pain and delight
Lonely shines the moon in the sky
So let us freely soar through all these troubled times
Til the ends of earth we fly
On another procrastination recording session! I have watched hours of The Untamed memes, and have watched the first two episodes of the drama after binging the book and craving more Mo Dao Zu Shi. Xiao Zhan is straight up adorable and his voice is heavenly, although I understand why they dubbed his voice in the drama to match the audio drama. As always, let me know what you think and thanks for listening!

Back with another procrastination project! I have been addicted to Mo Dao Zu Shi for the last two weeks now, binging the donghua, novel, and in the midst of the audio drama. I love all of the songs, especially this one and Nameless Song (by Aki). I tried making lyrics based on the time in between Wei Wuxian's death and reincarnation and the feeling of loss by everyone, especially Lan Wangji. I don't think I did the lyrics justice, so if you want to use them please share your covers with me! As always, let me know what you think and thanks for watching!
Lyrics:
The Yunmeng lotus tries to bloom again
Gusu clouds darken and cover in rain
As one man dressed in white recalls the past
(Zither lingers, the flute scatters)
Golden Jin has but one peony left
One cloud yearns with his feelings left unsaid
But the man dressed in black smiles no more
(You inquire with no answer)
As your blade cuts through demons for the common good
You protect what remains pure in this world
As you drink Emperor's Smile to hide away the pain
Know that soon he will be with you again

This song is dedicated to Luka; happy belated birthday!!!!
Skylarks in literature often symbolize joy, as they are able to sing even when flying. Thank you for always being a ray of sunshine and giving me your wonderful songs to cheer me up. I will continue to watch you soar to new heights and bring joy to those around you and love you lots!!
Yuki Kajiura is a composing god and her songs always sound wonderful with their fantasy/choral aspects, which made this song so much fun to sing. It was a nice piece to sing while procrastinating on clinical work, and hopefully I'll be back with another spontaneous piece soon! Let me know what you think, and as always, thanks for listening!

Full Moon wo Sagashite is one of the first anime I watched, so it and its songs hold a special place in my heart. It was also when I started getting into singing Japanese songs, back in the days where I would write down the lyrics on looseleaf paper to practice XD This song is dedicated to Luka, who I know also loves this song and always fangirls about all types of songs with me and encourages me to continue singing. I love you!
As always, thanks for listening and let me know what you think!

Another cover made purely out of procrastinating for finals (hence the cover picture). I hope everyone is doing well and I wish you all the best of luck for those who still have finals left to take! Recently I've been playing a lot of video games, particularly FFVII but I can't cover Hollow for my life so I figured I'd try a cute song instead. This will be my third time covering this song, and honestly it's amazing to see how far my voice has come since then. My second try is still up for those who are interested (youtube.com/watch?v=QByvKyPRjvA). Now time to start the grind until morning T.T
Thanks for listening!

So after watching Solar's new MV, I've gotten back into a MAMAMOO binge (please watch it if you haven't btw!) I made lyrics for the first half, but I finally got the motivation to finish the rest of the dub and try my best to record it. If you want to use my lyrics, just credit me in the description and link me the video so I can see it! Thanks for listening!
Lyrics:
It was just that one time, telling myself
Trying to forget how we were better in the past
But here I am again
I really tried my best to start all over
Cause I always knew you were the only one for me
Please believe me
Anyone would say it’s not easy to carry on just like before
I’ll have to admit I can’t move on, remembering memories makes forgetting too hard
When we first met, the things you said made my heart race
Now, all of our past memories seem like they never happened at all
It’s a façade, where has the old you gone?
I’m tired of all these lies, it’s time to say goodbye
“Hey, let’s break up.”
How could you betray me, turning your back
Everything you said to me back then was meaningless
And now it’s over
Anyone would say it’s not easy to just erase all of the past
I thought I was ready for it all, but I didn’t think that it would be this hard
When we first met, the things you said made my heart race
Now, all of our past memories seem like they never happened at all
It’s a façade, where has the old you gone?
I’m tired of all these lies, it’s time to say goodbye
Now as the seasons are passing, my feelings are fading
Please stay silent, not another word
Why, when we first met, did I believe all that you said
If I knew how much it’d hurt, I never would have even loved you at all
It’s a façade, the you of the past is long gone
I’m tired of all these lies, it’s time to end this love for once and for all
“Hey, let’s break up”
Goodbye at last…

I have been having so much fun watching this new anime; it's a great combination of just enough fangirling/romance combined with over-the-top comedy to make my weekend each time. I highly recommend it! I first heard angela from her opening for Coppelion, and I fell in love with her notes that have an opera-like quality to them. I hope that I captured a little bit of that with this cover; as always let me know what you think and thanks for listening!

Back again real quick! This was originally supposed to be my next cover, but I totally didn't get distracted by Kaguya-sama first😅 I have tried to record I beg you but I think I need more practice to nail the song before I post it. I'm also looking forward to the movie release once things die down. In the meantime, let me know what you think and thanks for listening!

Hi everyone, hope you all are staying healthy and safe indoors! I haven't actually watched the new episode of Kaguya-sama yet but once I heard the new opening I decided I had to give it a shot. It was nice practice for my low voice and harmonies but I know they need work so please don't be too hard on me T.T
As always, let me know what you think and thanks for watching!

Happy Valentine's Day! I hope you all have a wonderful day today with the ones you love: family, friends, or significant others! I love smooth jazzy songs but unfortunately I don't quite have my lower vocal range practiced well enough so I ended up just posting the 2nd higher verse. Hopefully someday with some more practice I can hit all of the low notes in the first verse. But as always, let me know what you think, and thanks for listening!

Hi everyone! I'm back in what seems like forever, but thanks for sticking around! I've been in a big Aimer/Kajiura mood lately and I've been binging their songs lately and decided to record this little song now that school is dying down. I am a huge fan of the Fate series, and even though Rin is my best girl, the music and animation for the movies so far has been on point. This song is pretty different from the usual songs I cover, but it gave me a chance to practice my short and long vibrato notes with the slower instrumental. As always, let me know what you think and thanks for listening!
Happy Halloween everyone! (ok so it's technically past now but whatever) Decided to record this little short song to celebrate. This anime was one of the first anime series I ever watched and it was perfect for little middle school me to learn to fangirl over cute boys (like Zero hehe). There are a lot of better series but this series will always hold a special place in my heart. I hope you all had a lot of fun this Halloween and hope you enjoy the cover. As always, thanks for listening!

With the new start of the anime season comes a bunch of new songs and series to fall in love with! As soon as I saw the animation quality of this ending (and the metaphors within the video) I had to cover it hehe. I'm still working on my vibrato and overall strength of my voice but I hope you like it! As always, thanks for listening and let me know what you think!
I do not own the image or instrumental used in this video, only my own voice!

First off, thank you for 500 subs!!! I really appreciate all the support I've gotten since making this channel, it means the world to me. Hearing that my cover made someone happy or cheered someone up really makes me overjoyed - this channel started out for fun but for it to have such an impact is something I never imagined but I wouldn't trade it for the world.
Second is the purpose of this video. Fruits Basket 2019 has given me a rollercoaster of emotions and seeing the backstories of all the characters, especially those of Hana and Uo, really reinforced the impact that Tohru has had on their lives. Since making this channel, I've met so many people but I'm glad to have Luka and Futabab as my trio of friends. Happy birthday Futabab, I hope you have an amazing day, this goes out to you!
I made lyrics keeping with the atmosphere of the opening, looking out from the umbrella and seeing the storm clear up while running at full speed, but with a focus on the trio of friends instead of Tohru and the two boys. Let me know what you guys think and thanks for listening!
Lyrics:
The fears of the past that you’ve had until this day
The worries you have, I will wash them all away
The secrets we’ll share for the future yet to come
I’ll treasure them all for the friends I’ve come to love
The sun shines through the ending storm
The clearing sky is the signal to go
We don’t need a prince charming to save the day
We will weather through whatever comes our way
Hand in hand we’re racing through the streets laughing
Three umbrellas

Making a double release with a song completely opposite to the previous cover with a super high and cutesy song! This song has been stuck in my head for a while now and while it's super cringy to hear myself sing this I also always get a laugh out of embarrassment. Hopefully you guys get as much enjoyment as I did and as always, thanks for listening!

Finally done with my second year of graduate school! For those who still have finals to take, good luck! I have been watching a few anime this season, including the Fruits Basket Remake, Kimetsu no Yaiba, Tate no Yuusha, Attack on Titan, and One Punch Man. The new remake of Fruits Basket looks amazing and they have been executing all the emotional scenes so well T.T
I will still be busy with clinical rotations but hopefully I can find time to record and post more often. Let me know if there are any good series to check out, and as always, thanks for listening!

Back again with the spring break procrastination with another cover! My MAMAMOO addiction continues with another kpop song, but this time Whee In's solo - she is an angel and her voice is so smooth; I couldn't help but cover it. I gave up on singing in Korean so I made English lyrics. Feel free to use them for your own covers, but be sure to credit me and send me the final product! As always, thanks for listening!
Lyrics:
You don’t know me
Too late too late you’re so stupid, stupid
No way no way it’s not easy
Too late too late you’re so stupid, stupid
No way no way it’s not easy
The way your eyes look empty, the glances at your cellphone
It’s too easy to see, it’s not an ordinary day
Although I might not be the smartest you’re too easy to see through, it’s cruel that you’re so obvious
My sensitivity always puts me on edge, your insults make it through even though I pretend
Why is this happening to me? It’s too unfair
I am not easy, I am not that kind of girl
I just didn’t see the truth; I just fell too hard for you
Making walls to match what you wanted
I was building my own cage; now I’ll set me free
Too late too late you’re so stupid, stupid
No way no way it’s not easy
As I think about back then, my fear was being lonely
It was just another excuse, It’s just an ordinary day
Even if I can’t sleep until dawn, I won’t go looking for you
Better things to do all day
Your pleas to stay don’t mean a thing and all the empty promises you’ll never keep
Why is this happening to me? It’s too unfair
I am not easy, I am not that kind of girl
I just didn’t see the truth; I just fell too hard for you
Making walls to match what you wanted
I was building my own cage; now I’ll set me free
Too late too late you’re so stupid, stupid
No way no way it’s not easy

So recently I've gotten into Kpop and I've been in love with MAMAMOO - I love all the girls in the group but Hwasa and Moonbyul are my biases. I also have no experience with Korean or rapping so if you are a native speaker or know the language, let me know how I did! I also recently watched the kdrama Mother and loved it; if you have any kpop groups or dramas to recommend let me know in the comments! Thanks for listening as always!

So recently I've gotten into kpop while procrastinating on studying for exams and I've been hooked on several songs, this being one of them, so I decided to make a short cover. I wasn't even going to try singing in Korean so I put together some English lyrics for a portion to sing to. If enough people want it someday I might do a full version, but this is it for now. Let me know what you think, and if you have any other songs to recommend to me lmk :3
Lyrics:
Hi there, say hello but keep it simple
There’s no need for introductions
Only rule is there’s no touching, back back off
And that’s the way I like it, balance balance
It’s me, still the same old kind of person
I wonder why there’s so much gossip
Spotlights ready for a target
Scanner scanner
Moving up and down the rankings
Jealous Jealous
“What kind of outfit is she wearing, is she out her mind?
And the empty stares she’s giving doesn’t seem very nice.
Does she look a little different, is she eating enough?
I hope she’s doing fine.”
Yellow CARD
Keep the line or I’ll get serious beep
(Stop it)
Manners only up to here It’s ma ma ma mine
Please keep the la la la line
Hello stupid,
Nothing past this is your business, beep
(Stop it)
Learn to keep your distance
We don’t know know know know
Comma we don’t owe owe owe owe (any anything)

Kaguya-sama has become one of my favorite series to watch this season, with its stupid but cute drama between the three student council members. This song matches the fun, upbeat, and a little romantic mood of the series perfectly and was a ton of fun to sing. Hope you guys like it, and as always thanks for listening!
