Atelier Sophie 2 (REVIEW) - Worth Playing for Newbies?

zoozbuh 2022-03-06 | Game: Atelier Sophie 2: The Alchemist of the Mysterious Dream
Platform: PS4 (also on Switch/PC)
(Click "Show More"!)

Thanks to Koei Tecmo Europe for the review code!
I hope you all enjoy the review as I put a lot of love into this.

Some little things I forgot to mention in the review:
- The "recipe ideas" system is no longer as vague as it was in Sophie 1. The requirements for each recipe are given, and if they're confusing, it usually means you have to synthesise more, or progress the story.

- Alchemy has "Support Skills" which can change effect levels and do a lot of useful stuff during alchemy. These skills are learned by your teammates depending on how close you are with them!

- Unfortunately the Quest board/system isn't as robust as Ryza 2, but it makes more sense with the game's world. Instead of having a separate "reptutation" with different groups in the city, you have an Adventurer Rank instead. Still fun, and the main way of getting money.

- You can speed up battles by 2x and speed up/skip text from the very start now. No NG+ required! Handy if you have to do a boss multiple times.

- Plachta can now synthesise items too! This seemed slightly tacked-on, but again, it makes sense for storyline reasons, and fits in well with Plachta's personal journey.

- (Spoiler?) Don't worry about character sidequests or trophies. As far as I know, nothing is missable, and your Clear Save allows you to go for a NG+ or carry on from where you left off.

Atelier Sophie 2 (First Hour of Gameplay!) *Combat, Exploration, Alchemy!*

zoozbuh 2022-03-03 | Game: Atelier Sophie 2: The Alchemist of the Mysterious Dream
Platform: PS4 (also on Switch/PC)
(Click "Show More"!)

Thanks to Koei Tecmo Europe for the free review code! Here is a (slightly edited) look at the first hour or so of Atelier Sophie 2, Gust's latest gem! I hope you all enjoy it.

In-depth review and thoughts coming soon, but to sum up a little... I really adored this game! I urge everyone to try it, if it looks interesting to you. Atelier has become a polished, addictive series that I really enjoy and can wholeheartedly recommend to almost anyone. A huge step-up from the original "Atelier Sophie" and incorporates a lot of great elements from the Ryza games.

Please note, these were my honest reactions at the time of filming, BUT there is a lot more depth to the game that wasn't shown here! Every element of the game improves later on.

MAGLAM LORD (Early Gameplay) - with Commentary (Read Description!)

zoozbuh 2022-02-06 | NOTE: Sorry for the audio issues in the first half, but I fixed it after a while!

I wanted to show you some early gameplay of this Switch/PS4 game that just got an English release, "Maglam Lord"! It's an action RPG and spiritual successor to the Summon Night: Swordcraft Story games on GBA, sharing a lof the same development team. I loved those games a LOT so I was excited to see a similar game.

NOTE 2: Since recording the video I got to grips with combat a lot more. There are lots of skills you can learn and switching between weapons for different enemies adds an element of strategy. It's not AS simple as I thought at first, so it's definitely worth sticking with it. I will try and upload more gameplay or a review later, if possible.

PLATFORM: Nintendo Switch (docked)

Early thoughts:
- Art style and character designs are super cute. The MC design is 10/10 (HOT)
- Dialogue is packed with humour and personality. The game is VERY text-heavy, which may not be for everyone, but if you treat it like a hybrid visual novel, it's very cute and fun
- The dating sim elements are very welcomed. There's clearly a lot more to uncover there
- As I said, I got to grips with combat a bit more since recording this video. When you get the hang of dashing, jumping and changing weapons, it's actually pretty fun.
- I like the request board as there's always an opportunity to grind for materials/EXP/character affection level.
- Nice, relaxing dating sim/RPG hybrid, if you're not looking for something super complex or taxing.

Thank you to PQube for the promotional code for this game!

zoozbuh 2022-01-19 | I LOVE THIS GAME. Here's why! I'm being completely honest when I say this is one of Gust's finest masterpieces to date; a real hidden gem.

Yakuza - Baka Mitai (Ive Been A Fool) [Japanese/English Cover]

zoozbuh 2021-02-28 | This has been a long time coming. Yakuza (or "Ryuu ga Gotoku") is one of my all-time favourite game series' and I had to pay tribute to it in some tiny way. Despite it becoming a huge meme, I actually really love this song and the lyrics.

Hope you like the karaoke style subs as a nod to the song's origins (honestly, they took a while but were so fun to do, haha)

Side-note: "DAME DA NE!" - Get your practice in now. I'm sure when I go back to being inactive and uploading once every year, you'll all be shouting "DAME DA NEEEEEEE" at the top of your lungs. *sob*

MP3 here: drive.google.com/file/d/1IrUBpJlMdzd-i_irg77OzKORiWz8X1r-/view?usp=sharing

Go check out the official English version sung by Greg Chun here: youtube.com/watch?v=7Z5C621j6vY

If you're a fan of Japanese games and haven't tried the series yet, I can't recommend it highly enough. It's the perfect blend of gripping story, drama, humour and virtual tourism. "Judgement" is a game from the same developers, which is a bit like a Yakuza x Ace Attorney crossover, so that game is a brilliant starting point.

Ariana Grande - Positions ~ Sad Version ~ (Male Cover)

zoozbuh 2021-02-21 | Hi. Yep, it's me, I'm still here. Hope you're all doing well. This cover turned out to be a lot more ambitious and time-consuming than I ever thought it would be. I'm actually really proud of how the harmonies and ad-libs turned out, so I hope it resonates with people on some level. I tried to put my own spin on it wherever I could.

I first got inspired way back when I found a "sad version" of the song by Moonlight Records on YT. It totally changed the vibe of the song, and it made me think of a struggling, one-side relationship, possibly abusive and traumatic... where someone is deeply depressed, but ultimately trapped in a toxic cycle. Wait, that just got WAY too deep, my bad lolol

ANYWAY, here's the mp3 link and acapella for anyone who wants it!
MP3: drive.google.com/drive/folders/1-M4gtEBzpb73865hzLsBrnEAnCgIv_5H?usp=sharing

Make sure you check out Ariana's original, and also the sad version here (Mine is +2ST): youtube.com/watch?v=YRBVlCbnh1M

P.s. I did try a more powerful/forceful vocal, but honestly it felt out of place and didn't fit the instrumentation or mood of the song. That's why I added more ad-libs. Gotta love a breathy tone~

Proud to say I didn’t use a lick of tuning on this cover, not even on the backing vocals. 💕

Trails of Cold Steel III - Beyond the Journey (ENGLISH Cover) / 閃の軌跡III

zoozbuh 2020-07-04 | I did another one. I told you I was on a Falcom kick right now ;D

GAME: Trails of Cold Steel III (Sen no Kiseki III)
Song: Beyond the Journey (Ikitsuku saki)
Original Artist: Megumi Sasaka/ Falcom Sound Team jdk

Please also check out my Trails from Zero song cover here, where I gave a little info about the Trails series in the description: youtube.com/watch?v=vtk1cz1-YRc

(NOTE: The pitch-shifting and editing I did to the instrumental unfortunately really wrecked the quality, but I couldn't find a better way of doing it. Had to get rid of that loud electric guitar dominating the main melody... and sing at a key I was comfortable with. Still, I hope you enjoy!)

LYRICS (written by me):

Is there someone out there who can love me?
Won’t someone accept this love within me?
I stand here, trembling
And waiting ‘til the dawn can be seen

Yearning for a chance to follow my dreams
Holding out my hands so I can receive
Some hope from above
An answer or a guide I sorely need

For so long (ahh), I have been wandering and chasing after that warmth.
(ahh) Desire so all-encompassing
But now I suddenly choose to throw it away
(LOVE! HATE! HATE! TRUST! LOVE!)
If even for a day

So, I start running, not knowing where I’m going
But I know I have no choice but to keep pushing on
And no matter what may be brought forth on my road
I’ll follow straight down these trails to reach my goal,
and let them guide the way

I let out a scream, not knowing who it may reach
But I know I have no choice but to keep shouting out
And no matter the end reveal of my struggle
I’ll scream my way down these trails to reach my goal,
and let them guide the way!

Trails from Zero OP - way of life (ENGLISH Cover) / 零の軌跡

zoozbuh 2020-06-24 | GAME: Zero no Kiseki / Trails from Zero
Original Artist: Kanako Kotera
ENGLISH Lyrics: Please scroll down

Okay, so hi! I'm back from the dead again :) Sorry for the inactivity, but unfortunately you're all used to it by now...

To say I've been on a huge Falcom/Trails kick recently would be an understatement. I just get absorbed into their RPGs - the story and lore spans across so many games, and it's all so satisfying.

This game, and this SONG in particular, was just stunning. I couldn't get "Way of life" out of my head for so long, even after beating the game. Somehow, despite my usual lack of motivation, this all got done very quickly. I put a lot of passion into the vocals, so I hope you like it.

(Well, as much passion as I could in a Japanese apartment and not having my neighbours hate me... o___o)

------------------------------

Playing order (ideal):
Trails in The Sky trilogy
Trails of Cold Steel 1
Trails of Cold Steel 2
Trails from Zero
Trails to Azure
Trails of Cold Steel 3

(Funnily enough, the Sky trilogy didn't grab me for a LONG time. I played through Cold Steel 1 and 2 and loved them immensely, then went back to play the Sky trilogy on Vita with voice acting. Eventually, after a super slow start, my love for the series really took hold. I hope others can experience it too)

------------------------
ENGLISH LYRICS (by me):

Striving to find some kind of meaning in our daily lives
Surely that is, in itself, exactly what life's about

As we all traverse this wide world, nothing ever seems to add up
Too much contradicts, hearts are quick to fall into despair
But spending our time always only dwelling on our discontent
We won't change the world for the better, like we had hoped for

So let us shed the tears we must shed,
Every dark night to prepare for what's ahead
And if there's any barrier ever standing in our way,
we'll find a way to break through

Since our lives won't last forever,
let's keep fighting on with all our might
Struggling, but not giving up
Striving to find some kind of meaning in our daily lives
Surely that is, in itself, exactly what life's about

Atelier Dusk DX Trilogy - Bonus Soundtrack Review [PS4/Switch/Steam]

zoozbuh 2020-01-19 | I realise this is a different type of upload for me, so apologies for the unexpectedness of it! I wanted to tell you all about these game re-releases, just in case you weren't aware. When it comes to anything Gust or Atelier, I literally can't stop rambling, so this video was EXTREMELY difficult to make and cut down. I hope you like it! This is the BONUS side stuff I couldn't fit into the main video.

Whatever Whatever Whatever (ENGLISH Cover) [Cammie☕Mile x Zoozbuh] / い〜やい〜やい〜や

zoozbuh 2019-07-07 | Song: Iya Iya Iya い〜やい〜やい〜や (Whatever, whatever, whatever)
ENG Lyrics: Cammie☕Mile, Zoozbuh
Mix: Zoozbuh
LYRICS: cammiemile.blogspot.com/2019/07/whatever-whatever-whatever.html
MP3: mediafire.com/?ntttyrp9hhn3mw2

Hi. Yup, still alive. Sorry. The neglect of my channel wasn't intentional, but as usual a big mountain of LIFE got in the way and my motivation got crushed and lost underneath. That being said, I don't think Cammie could've found a more perfect song for us to duet. Why is this song LITERALLY MY ANTHEM? #relatable
More rambling later, but first, Cammie's comments:

CAMMIE:
“The second I heard this song, I knew what needed to be done. This was it. The international anthem. The song of my people. Whatever.

Asking Zoozbuh was the next step. I knew he’d get me. Together, with the power of apathy, and a song that took us a year and a half to cover, we would bring the world together with the power of indifference.”

==================================

Not gonna ramble on about my life, but just know that it seems hard to find time for literally anything right now. However, I'm also having amazing new experiences in Japan so I can't complain. Thank you to everyone who's been asking for my old covers, MP3s or just reaching out in general. It really means a lot that people still care about my old stuff, even now. I'll 1) re-upload all the oldies somewhere eventually. Still working on it, 2) always keep singing in some shape or form, even though I can't be super active.

TL;DR - WHATEVER.

Mrs. Pumpkins Comical Dream (ENGLISH Cover) [redo] *HAPPY HALLOWEEN!*

zoozbuh 2018-11-01 | THE NOSTALGIA IS HITTING ME HARD.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN, ETC (I didn't quite make it in my own timezone, but I guess it's still halloween for Americans and some others, so... yay?) Hope you all had/are having a great time!

To those who were around when I did my original version of this... wow, how the heck has it been that long since then? I want to cry and scream at the same time. Also, thanks for sticking around!

MP3: mediafire.com/file/vxuzcvmqvdqdtq3/Mrs_Pumpkin%27s_Comical_Dream_%5BENG_cover%5D_redo.mp3/file

Sorry for the lazy/haphazard mixing. I still think it's a huge improvement from the original cover, but that's really not saying much. Zoozbuh from 2009 is a cringefest (even more so than now)... please don't go back to that era.

Persona 5 - Beneath The Mask (Male Piano Cover)

zoozbuh 2018-06-03 | You must be tired after today. Let's go to sleep (BUT LISTEN TO THIS FIRST, PLEASE)

Sang this in honour of me finishing Persona 5! WOW, WHAT A GAME. There are very few games I would invest 90+ hours in, but this was one of them. It's not perfect by any means, but such great characters and an amazingly memorable soundtrack. Literally been listening to it in the car to work every day.

Thanks to Kaedelus for the amazing piano improv cover I used (check out the video link below). Thanks as well to Cammie for whipping up this "Zoozbuh the phantom thief" art. I don't need to tell you how amazing she is though, y'all already know. She felt this low-key art suited the mood of the song better, rather than going full-on phantom thief.

I might sing Last Surprise too buuuut depends on if I find an instrumental I like/I find the motivation to sing it. Oh and yeah, this was super fun to sing. I may have gone too far with the ad-libs but ah well.

Sigrid - Strangers (Acoustic Cover by Zoozbuh)

zoozbuh 2018-03-25 | Just a quick pop cover! Decided to cover some more mainstream songs to practise singing/mixing with my new mic. I'll get back to the regular covers too at some point, but writing lyrics is EFFORT right now. [CLICK SHOW MORE]

Sang mostly in a low octave this time to work on controlling my lower register a bit better (since most Vocaloid songs are crazy high, this makes a nice change... and I do need the practise)

Big thanks to Nick Latham (BedroomBassist) for the stunning instrumental, which inspired me to finish recording this.

Lost Ones Weeping (ENGLISH Piano Cover)

zoozbuh 2018-03-07 | SO... I got a new mic and recording interface recently and it FINALLY motivated me to record something... Been meaning to do this song for a while, but wasn't quite brave enough to do the original version (don't think I'll ever do it tbh). [CLICK SEE MORE] Not 100% happy with it tbh but I just NEEDED TO UPLOAD SOMETHING. *yells at you*

Anyway, that's enough yelling. Hope you enjoy it and your ears aren't pierced by the chorus...

-------------------------------------------------

Zooz: Happy (almost) new year y’all! Hope everyone had a great holiday. No Xmas upload this year, but hopefully this pre-NYE upload is the next best thing!

Cammie: Y’know we actually made a sweet cover this time last year, too. Atta Kaito, remember? I roped you into that one too.

Z: Yes!! Thanks for motivating me to actually upload every so often xD

C: Oh, you know how it is, I just do what I can. This was a cover of milestones and breakthroughs! We both had to learn new programs for this to come together, but I mean; I think it was worth it.

Z: Yup! Despite the learning curve, I think it turned out great in the end. Super proud of it, and happy to cover another glorious Mitchie M JAM.

C: Yeah, and to think this whole time I thought Mitchie M was a girl; until you broke the news to me.

Z: Mixing was also super fun! As was recording my crazy rap parts (you know me, always into rapping, never out of my comfort zone *DIES TWICE*)

C: Call now to book DJ Zoozbuh for your next birthday party!!
(I like it when Zoozbuh does the mixing. It makes it feel like he has to clean up after my mistakes.) No but seriously this cover took at least 5 hours of research to write accurate(ish)ly, so I’m absolutely STOKED with how it turned out.

Z: Props to you for writing these lyrics (for such an incredibly Japanese song) and doing the CUTE little custom surprise at the end of the video, which honestly gave me sustenance.

C: Yeeeah, well I aim to provide. Either way, A happy new year from me, too! And here’s to more in the next! Listen to this cover at exactly 11:57:19 on new year's eve to hear Old man Zooz at exactly midnight and start 2018 off right.

Misfortune Seller Girl (ENGLISH Cover) / 不幸屋の娘

zoozbuh 2017-05-10 | A NEW KIKUO SONG! I fell in love with this one the moment I heard it (which was... actually just a few days ago xD) It's probably one of my favourites of his, since 'A Happy Death', although I also like some of his video-game music. Another underrated producer, to say the least. (click "Show More")

Thanks to Neibs for writing lyrics so quickly (it was fun helping you pick metaphors~) Check out her tumblr for the lyrics in typed-out form. It's probably one of the less disturbing Kikuo songs I've come across, believe it or not. Along with that PV though, it's still pretty high on the creepy scale. I guess looking at my last upload, I seem to be on a 'scary song' kick right now xD

P.S: Started using Reaper to mix, and a much better mic to record (been a long time coming, but still transitioning right now so bear with me on the mixing quality...)

I did a yandere song! It's pretty rare, so you better savour it tbh. The original pitch was too low for me so I had to pitch up by 3st (damn you and your inhumanly low voice, Gakupo...) I still feel like this may be the lowest I've ever sung though. Also, DAMN those chorus harmonies and those "la las" at the end.... so painful to get right.

I also thought there needed to be at least one creepy laugh, just because. Hope you enjoy and it doesn't scare you TOO much :P Thanks to Cammie for the lyrics. Hope you don't mind me cheekily changing a line and a couple words. Oh and thanks for inspiring me to make my own version of this xD

Happy (almost) new year everyone!! Thanks to Cammie for writing the English lyrics for this... and suggesting the song in the first place! It was originally released by Halyosy as a special song to commemorate Kaito's 10th anniversary. Aren't the lyrics so gosh-darn cute? I can't deal, tbh. Oh and I pitched it down by a couple tones, just in case anyone was wondering~

Cammie's Comments:
Happy New Year everyone! This is a pretty good way to start it, right?
This video is too cute for my heart to handle. The first time I watched it I thought to myself, “how can I get Zoozbuh to sing this song?!” Turns out I just had to ask. The whole ‘hostage misunderstanding’ was completely unnecessary.
Anyway, happy birthday Kaito!! Happy 30,000 subs Zoozbuh! And I hope everyone has a great new year; and if you’re not, then listen to this- I promise it’ll make it better.
Just go to “Come on, everyone!” because Zoozbuh’s accent slips out hehehehehehe. Cammie out!! ☕(๑꒪▿꒪)*

Asa Made Halloween (ENGLISH CHORUS) *Sound Horizon*

zoozbuh 2016-10-31 | YES, I UPLOADED ON HALLOWEEN - JUST ABOUT! Note: Forgot to credit Jannie as one of the singers in the chorus - sorry!

Happy halloween, y'all! All relevant credits in the video. Hope you enjoy it as much as we did making it. Please watch until the credits to see all the awesome people who took part in this project. Also, stay safe if you're going trick-or-treating tonight :P

Original Artist: Sound Horizon (go look them up)

Fun facts:

- This is probably the most tracks I've ever had to use in an Audition project, and also the most complex Sony Vegas project I've ever attempted (I know it's not really that complex, but animation is a big step for me :P)

- Wasn't going to mention this, but... I didn't have to tune any of the singers in the chorus. Seriously. I must have picked some awesome people because with just a bit of editing to fix the timing, it sounded awesome. Thanks again to all the actors and singers who took part :D

- Neibs and I actually planned to upload this a few days before Halloween and have a much more ambitious video, but unfortunately (because reasons) it just wasn't possible in the time that we had. I'm still pretty happy that I managed to upload it on time and get so many awesome people to help out though :)

WHOO, it's finally up. I got a few requests for this song and, to be honest, at first I wasn't feeling it. After hearing Cammie's English version and getting used to the melody a bit more, I actually grew to like it a lot though. It has quite a gothic, dramatic feel, so I hope my dramatic flair came across in the vocals (lol)

As always, please like, subscribe and let me know if there's any songs you think would suit my voice. It doesn't have to be vocaloid - sometimes I just suck at picking songs myself, so it's nice to get some ideas from people in the comments.

Okay, so I've been totally addicted to this song ever since Project Diva X came out and I immediately felt like covering it. I wrote lyrics and then had the common realisation that the song doesn't suit my voice AT ALL... Then I started getting bored with how bad I sounded, so I got a bit creative with the autotune/ harmonies/ robotic voice layering. It still doesn't sound great, so I'm mainly uploading this to share my lyrics with everyone. Please sing them! :P

Anyone else playing Project Diva X at the moment? It has a kinda small song selection compared to the previous games, but if there's any songs you guys like, let me know.

Happy birthday to me (yesterday)! Feeling old AF right now though, so let's not dwell on it. Also, a friend of mine let me know recently that I somehow hit 28k subscribers, which I couldn't believe. I mean, that's INSANE. Without getting too cheesy, I feel very lucky and proud to have an audience as awesome as you guys :3

Anyway, that same friend happened to be the one I'm duetting this song with! A few people had asked for a Kaito x Len version of Snowman, but instead of just doing a sloppy edit, we decided to do it properly. Thanks to Cammie for doing her vocals in literally, like, 10 minutes and even drawing beautiful custom art for us. Go to the end of the video to check out the beauty!!

Hope to continue singing for you guys and collaborating with awesome peeps for the foreseeable future :)

I really need to stop singing when I have a cold/hay fever, because it sounds terrible and ruins my voice. But yeah, I felt like uploading something, so here it is.

I LOVE this song and most of the tracklist in Deemo. Beautiful rhythm game with very unique-sounding music (I'd never heard any "symphonic dubstep" before this song). Please go play the game if you can :) The English PS Vita version is available on Play Asia, but it's a little expensive.

Damn. This was hard to sing whichever pitch I tried doing it at... but such a beautiful song needed a proper English cover, so I kept at it. I wanted to stick with the original instrumental, since I noticed there were a few acoustic covers around already.

Thanks to Neibaku for doing the raw translation and co-writing the lyrics with me. Kuwagata-P is severely underrated, so I'd definitely like to do another of his songs in future :3

OLD COMMENTS (9th Jun 2012)~~~~

Whoop, a new dub! The lyrics make little to no sense for me, but it has quite an infectious beat and it was fun as hell to sing! Hope you enjoy it xD Also I hope vgperson doesn't mind me using her awesome lyrics and subs! (edited slightly, just to roll off the tongue a bit easier)

LYRICS (By vgperson)~~~~

Pipes mixed in with scrap, 'n' wheels rusted stuck;
Here's a town of pictures, all running amok
Needles sticking from a long-faded dartboard,
And a knitted hand lying on home base

If you're ever troubled, you know who to call,
At watchtower field, the arena for brawls
There we find our black-and-white-and-amoral hero,
Gripping to a metal bat, left-handed

All we hear is noise, barked from a radio;
All we see's a blinking-neon bunny girl
What they are dealing in is some kind of opium
Deeper inward, they're all gulping it down

"I'll be taking one, that's my only request,"
One dried up apple is all they can present
Grumbling lamentably and going through the motions
Now, there's nowhere left for any to run!

Pa-pa-pa-lah, pa-pa-pa-la-pah
Smoking with steam, there's riot in those eyes
Pa-pa-pa-lah, pa-pa-pa-la-pah
Now up to bat, it's our pinch hitter
Pa-pa-pa-lah, pa-pa-pa-la-pah
We have no doubts, that's our Panda Hero
Pa-pa-pa-lah, pa-pa-pa-la-pah
So long to yesteryear's killer liner!

Cannibalism's the only word they'll say
With singing androids, that's who they choose to play
Well, of course we despise them - yes, our one hero,
But, of course we long to see them - come, our one hero!

Cannibalism's the only word they'll say
With singing androids, that's who they choose to play
Well, of course we despise them - yes, our one hero,
But, of course we long to see them - come, our one hero!

Pa-pa-pa-lah, pa-pa-pa-la-pah
From third to shortstop, aim is going wild
Pa-pa-pa-lah, pa-pa-pa-la-pah
Now on the base, it's our pinch runner
Pa-pa-pa-lah, pa-pa-pa-la-pah
To put it simply, we're two points behind
Pa-pa-pa-lah, pa-pa-pa-la-pah
We've got a feeling that this just won't end well...

Adorned with a bucket, a cat wails loud,
One, oh yes, another has now been stricken out
Now there's surely not a chance to turn this game around;
Now, there's nowhere left for any to run!

Pa-pa-pa-lah, pa-pa-pa-la-pah
Girl selling wares, her glaring eyes so harsh
Pa-pa-pa-lah, pa-pa-pa-la-pah
Buzzers, a spider child, and warning lights
Pa-pa-pa-lah, pa-pa-pa-la-pah
We have no doubts, that's our Panda Hero
Pa-pa-pa-lah, pa-pa-pa-la-pah
So long to yesteryear's killer liner!

Break to pieces, run the bases, smash the CRT!

So long to yesteryear's killer liner!

Wow, why was this song so hard to sing? Tried raising the pitch, tried lowering it, but it only seemed to make it harder. Oh well, I still managed to finish it somehow. I really liked JoyDreamer's lyrics for this song, not to mention it's super catchy, so I've been wanting to cover it for a while.

I had to do a few edits on the video, as I couldn't find one that matched the length of the FULL song. Unfortunately I'm not the best editor, so they're pretty horribly done (still, better than staring at a black screen for 1 and a half minutes, right? xD)

This was yet another song from Project Mirai DX which I heard, instantly loved and have been meaning to cover for a long time. I noticed there weren't many other covers of it (probably because the lyrics are a little weird and it's quite fast/hard to sing). It's a cute, catchy song though, so hopefully this will spark some more covers.

Thanks to Jo Fish, who wrote English lyrics and got Miku herself to sing them. It worked surprisingly well, so definitely check that out too :) Here: youtube.com/watch?v=0Ns0TImYZ8A

I'm currently working on covers of Tell Your World and Kimi no Taion (Your Warmth), so look forward to those eventually. They were both actually higher on my priority list than this one... but y'know, sometimes motivation just hits you for a particular song when you least expect it :P

Warning, cheesy lyrics alert. I didn't write them myself though, since there was an actual English version for this song (go check it out, it's epic and will fill you with hope for the future and stuff.)

I did make a couple tweaks to make them seem a little less "Engrish" though.

Weirdly I still haven't got this game, but I've been meaning to for a long time. If you have a 3DS and are into games like Fire Emblem/Disgaea/Luminous Arc, definitely go check it out.

So by VERY popular request, here is a new Kaito song also from Project Mirai DX. Being totally honest, the song took a while to grow on me, but now it's probably one of my favourite songs in the game. Len's version in-game is also a pretty nice touch.

I found the lyrics strangely dark considering the upbeat, jaunty tone of the music, but it made writing them a lot more interesting. Hope you guys enjoy my version! Don't forget to view in buttery-smooth 60 fps, whoo!!

Btw apologies for the LQ instrumental, but it's because I had to make it myself and pitch it down by two tones as well. Please follow me on Twitter and Facebook, which are also "zoozbuh". Thanks guys :)

Sound Horizon - Moira / The Dying Maiden... (ENGLISH Cover)

zoozbuh 2015-06-29 | Artist: Sound Horizon
Original Lyrics/Composition: REVO
English TL & Lyrics: Neibaku

Vocals: Zoozbuh, Neibaku
Visit her channel: youtube.com/user/Neibaku

'Sound Horizon' is a Japanese musical group, led by the composer "Revo". Their works closely resemble suites, each based around an in-depth story and themes, much like musicals. They also love incorporating foreign languages, different instruments and guest vocalists, as well as varied genres of music. My friend Neibs introduced them to me a few years ago, and as I've been wanting to try more "musical" type songs lately, I thought I'd give this one a try! Many thanks to Neibs for writing the English lyrics (although it didn't take much persuading for a Sound Horizon song).

The song is called (translated into English) "The Dying Maiden with the Moon's Reflection in Her Hand". It is from their 2008-released album "Moira", which borrows from greek mythology - this song in particular is about two twins, Misia and Elef. It's quite hard to explain the plot... but for more information please check this out: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moira_%28album%29

NOTE: Some of the words are in Greek, since that's how it was in the original. As I said, SanHora's songs often have foreign phrases littered in - not just English, but various languages.

Hope you guys enjoy this rather unusual upload from me. It was fun to sing in a different style... and partly in Greek! xD

YES. JUST YES. This is by far the most epic and kick-ass 'Tales' opening theme yet, so after listening to it a few times and getting addicted, I just had to sing my own version. I also decided to write some English lyrics, because why not?

Perfect timing as well, since Bandai Namco just released a new trailer for the game, saying it will be coming to PS4 and Steam later this year! See here: youtube.com/watch?v=0u4Pm2vOD5o

I got slightly creative with some lines, as I didn't want the lyrics to sound too dry and literal. The original track has a pretty epic, anthemic feel so I wanted to try and replicate that - not just with the singing, but lyrics too. I don't think I managed it that well but hey, I tried :P

Changed "wanna be white" to "wanna glow white", as the original line came across as slightly racist/odd to me. LOL I know it's metaphorical, but just my opinion. I rewrote other parts slightly anyway, so it shouldn't be a big deal.

I've been busy and exhausted/ill again lately, hence the dip in uploads. Trust me when I say I have a big pile of song requests which I'm trying to get through, but they're all tricky songs D:

Tautology (ENGLISH Vocaloid Cover)

zoozbuh 2015-05-03 | Song: Tautology - Miku Hatsune
Music, Lyrics: @mark
Vocals, Eng. Lyrics: Zoozbuh

Lyrics: *soon*

Okay, I guess YouTube decided to cut down my last description for no reason, so here goes with a rewrite :/ A classic Miku song from back in 2008, but now in English! Special thanks to Neibaku for badgering me to get this done for the past year or so... Hopefully she'll get her version done sometime in the next ten years too! :D

The song is quite clever, as it has two sets of lyrics. The "inside version" (on screen in the original video) is from the POV of Miku as a vocaloid, whereas the "outside" is from the perspective of "Miku the real girl". However you interpret the lyrics, it's a lovely song, so I can understand why it was popular back in the day.

I won't be uploading for the next few days (holidays and all that), but I have been looking at your requests and considering several of them... Honestly, trust me on that. xD

Fairy Tail ED 6 - Be As One (ENGLISH Piano Cover)

zoozbuh 2015-04-18 | Song: Be As One by Natsumi Watanabe
Anime: Fairy Tail (ED 6)
MP3 Link: app.box.com/s/sus25qqeogfngizudtni24a9urnvlw0i

I had these lyrics sitting around on my laptop for far too long, so I finally decided it was time to bite the bullet and record my version. Many thanks to ZackyAnimePiano for this piano improvisation backing track - please go visit his channel below to hear more!:

I had to pitch down the backing track by two tones, as this really wasn't in my range (and arguably still isn't, but let's not make a big deal of it) - Please go ahead and use my lyrics, no need to ask but credit my channel or this video!

ENGLISH LYRICS ======================

You're always in my mind
Near or far, at any time
Memories awaken, everytime I feel

Ah, the warmth from your open palm
wraps around my heart and soul
I'll stay here and I'll never leave your side

All your gentleness, all your kindness,
I feel it everytime we meet
It makes me want to embrace every part of you

CHORUS
I will be as one with you, protect you from harm (Stay with me)
I love you. Oh yes, you are my beloved
With my feelings laid bare, I'm exposed but wouldn't have it another way
This one-in-a-million chance, I need to grab it now

Like the stars which are alight and sparkle up in the sky,
and the raindrops falling down and pouring into the sea,
Let's intertwine now, just the two of us
You are my everything

Burenai AI De (ENGLISH Cover)【Zoozbuh】

zoozbuh 2015-04-16 | Song: Burenai AI De / ぶれないアイで
Music and Lyrics: MitchieM
PV Director: llcheesell (Tatsuro Ogata),
For all other credits of this gorgeous detailed animation and the full instrumental track, please refer to the original video!

A special exclusive treat for all my awesome Twitter and FB people! :D An English vocaloid cover which I wouldn't usually upload on my main channel - since I'm trying to avoid songs which really don't suit my voice (and which have female videos to go with them), I wasn't sure how people would react to this. Probably with the same "WHAT, IT'S A GUY" comments, which I'm used to by now :P

But hey, MitchieM is SUPER talented and I wanted my English version of the song out there in some way, in case anyone wants to make an English cover of it! I will be putting full English lyrics up too on my blog, so you can even sing the full version if you would like :)

Just a little note - I decided to keep the line 'Burenai AI De' in Japanese, just as a little quirk. It literally means "With steady/unblurred eyes", but as the Japanese song name is a pun on the words EYE and A.I, I couldn't think of anything that fits that well in English :P

I encourage ANYONE to please try covering the song as I don't think it suits my voice, and I'd like my lyrics to be used for a "better cause" if possible :P Thanks for watching and I hope you enjoyed it! P.s: Fun random trivia - the song in Japan was also used to promote a brand of eye drops! lol.
