EDIT: @ past mio: what are you talking about this is a banger i'll physically fight you

it’s VY2’s anniversary and i’ve gotten rusty once again w

i’m very tired, honestly . . . i fought myself the entire time i was working on this and generally just dragged my feet for a month straight sdfghjk i had a different song in mind that i really wanted to cover but i didn’t get the tuning finished in time and had to default to this one instead he h ;

i feel like this isn’t my best work, honestly especially considering otetsu’s original tuning was really loose and powerful and if there’s one thing i haven’t figure out yet it’s loose and powerful (at least without going into straight up over-tuning w)

also i only found out last minute that of the english translations out there, half of them were machine translated or built off of said machine translated ones and the author of the most accurate one (hazuki no yume) asked that their translation not be used for subbing so i had to crack open a couple JP to EN dictionaries and give it my best shot skjdfghlkjdfh

definitely not the most accurate or the most poetic translation but for the time i had it works sort of i might as well put out there //please don't reference or reuse this translation// because my comprehension is //not// the best and there's probably a good number of mistakes in this ksdfjhgl

i would have liked to have better credits to put down here but it seems that aside from hazuki no yume most of the translations were unsourced or had been reposted so many times it's impossible to tell who originally made it ;;

that aside, at the very least i get to show off my vy2 design a little more w i also tried to design the outfit/video based off of shio’s animated pv (which is part of what got me hooked on the song in the first place). i feel like i probably could have done a little more for the video but given how badly aviutl was lagging even after just importing the base drawings i didn’t have the patience for it he h ;;

not my favorite cover/project overall, but who knows―i hated candy addicts when i uploaded it and spent a week afterwards bemoaning how awful i thought it was and yet now i like to pop it open every now and then and give it a listen w

(honestly though i really wish i’d given myself more time so i could have gone back and fixed the lyric errors and given the translation a second pass sdfkjglf why do i only ever see/hear the “っ” until i’m subbing ! ! !)

that aside, in general though i’m just so tired between course work and irl stress i feel like a lot of my enthusiasm for working with vocaloid has died down lately i don’t know if it’s just feeling like my work isn’t meeting my standards or it’s just feeling like the anniversaries have become more of an obligation than something i enjoy or maybe it’s the 5 year zola anniversary looming on the horizon w

there are still plenty of songs i want to cover and lots of things i want to do i just don’t want to do any of them for a deadline but at this time of year i’m kind of caught between anniversary deadlines w

i am very slow , , , , , when it comes to everything w

either way it’s a cover yall enjoy
