The ZOLA Project is officially three years old!!
I can’t believe so much time has passed already. I still remember that agonizing wait between the initial “special 10 year anniversary celebration” announcement and their first demo. I don’t know what I was expecting up until then, but it definitely wasn’t this bunch of nerds.
The first time I ran into this song was with Hinkey’s UTAU cover with Mizuki Zuiga (found here: youtube.com/watch?v=EBY6q8VfrIc), and before I knew it I was listening to it on repeat. I always planned on covering this, but I figured I’d wait until I had a more powerful voice-type to do it.
Turns out with the right tuning and enough of them singing together, the ZOLAs could handle it!
Originally I planned out a "larger" PV for this, but I completely neglected to consider how long it’d take me to get the art assets done and how hard it would be to get myself to work on them in the first place. I think deadline panic kind of did me in heheh;
Kind of fitting into the overseas PV stereotype of one piece of art moving around a lot here, but hey! I learned a lot working on this!
Please enjoy! This is my first time using all three ZOLAs together in one song! It was definitely a challenge getting them all to cooperate.

![【KYO】Rotten Heresy and Chocolate / 腐れ外道とチョコレゐト【VOCALOIDカバー】
Never before have I made a KYO with such intense chuunibyou energy...
Hey, yall ! ! ! Im back for the moment ! ! ! And would you look at that ! ! ! Its the first Pinocchio-P song beginner VOCALOID fan Mio ever listened to ! ! ! And continued to listen to repeatedly for the next (checks watch) eight and a half years??
A bangers a banger, folks.
So, remember how I missed out on the VY2 anniversary this year because I had to scrap so many WIPs and felt like I couldnt live up to expectations??
Well, turns out letting down those expectations literally unleashed a previously unprecedented wave of kinetic energy in my soul that gave me the power to finally learn Logic and finish six WIPs in the span of one month.
Thats powerful, man.
Somehow, despite the ever-present hell that is being locked at home and yet still required to finish hours worth of lab work and essay writing, all whilst being crushed under ten million deadlines and college transfer requirements, I managed to follow through on the decision I made sometime back at the start of May to finally go through with doing an equal love anniversary this year with the caveat that Id do only the bare minimum for each cover.
Each stage of each of these covers was done in under a week (sans the mixing for this one, which took a little over a week due to V5 Hell™) during the busiest part of the semester, so honestly ! ! ! Im pretty proud of myself for them turning out as well as they did ! ! !
That being said, this years anniversary theme (aside from finishing up loose WIPs and finally spreading out the anniversary love evenly for once w) seems to be first [insert producers name] song I ever listened to, so here we are with a vintage Pinocchio-P song!! This is actually another case along the lines of Wavefile where I started working on the tuning way back in my early ZOLA days and just... didnt end up picking up again until just recently. (Fun fact!! I actually posted a WIP of this back in the day, which you can listen to over on my tumblr!! https://miodiodavinci.tumblr.com/post/95977073607/kyo-you-little-bugger-why-wont-you-cooperate-with)
Gotta say―this was definitely a lot easier to tune once pitch snap became a thing and I could spend more time honing in on the pronunciation and fun pitchbends as opposed to fighting KYO tooth and nail to keep him from sounding drunk, pained, and gaspy. And it,,,,,,also helped that I finally had access to an in-editor distortion filter via V5 so I could spend less time futzing with his tone pre-mixing and more time tuning overall skjghlsdkjf
Like, if Im being honest? Literally the distortion filter (which was only used during tuning and is not present here) and some of the growl/shout effects are the only reason this was tuned in V5 instead of V4 because b o y did V5 give me hell when it came time to mix skdjglkdsf
Honestly, out of all the covers this round, this is probably the one that started off the most for fun (I actually first picked it up again sometime last year because I ran into Rinniins cover and was reminded of my own WIP and felt nostalgic over it ksdjghldkfj) but ended up being The Biggest Pain™ once it came time to mix and make the cover art. But, as if to make up for it, it ended up being the video I had the most fun on!! As you can tell I learned some new AviUtl effects in my absence and //god// if Im not going to put them to use!! Yall are going to be sick of speed lines and fake LCD display effects by the time youre done with this w
Like, Ill be real, this is probably the most fun Ive had on a PV since the UNI PV, which is saying something, because the UNI PV filled me with an inordinate amount of joy before I uploaded it and realized a whole set of subtitles was wrong w. Lets hope this one doesnt follow in its footsteps ! ! !
Basically, long story short, what started out as picking up an old WIP with the intent to just finish it up for personal listening purposes ended up becoming a high speed, full-fledged cover effort in tandem with two others that resulted in one of the most painful mixes but most fun PVs Ive worked on in a while w
Enjoy ! ! !

![[UTAU PV] Eight Hundred - Crevan
Guys. I accidentally the whole PV.
And a cruddy one at that.
Well then, in all seriousness, I was mixing for Eight Hundred when I went over and looked at the original PV and decided, Hey, I have a weekend off. This looks like a simple PV. Lets give it a shot. I thought I would simply get halfway and never finish, but it looks like I completed it. o_o;;
And I never thought I would ever have Crevan sing this high since Meltdown.
And no, I have no idea how you bury a shadow.
Or cry with no eyes.
Mood whiplash after the last video. 8U
Credits at the end.

![[UTAU] ココロ/KOKORO - Kikyuune Aiko
Well, seeing as I had to take down the last Thank You video, I figured I might create another, this time purely Aiko. ouo
Gah, I cant tell you how frustrating fixing the .vsq was. Not only was there no chorus, but it was off beat, some notes were too long, others were too short, blarg. It took a lot of cutting and fine adjustment in Garageband to fix it up, and its in sync for the most part. Im glad I got it done. ouo;;
Fun fact: this was the first Vocaloid song I ever heard. I didnt understand it at the time though, and quite frankly, I didnt care. I found it while on a search for pikachu videos (hey, I was up and on the internet at an early age). But man, I tell you, this has got to be among my favorite Vocaloid songs. ;u;
I hope GB didnt kill anything when it exported it, so Aiko shouldnt be too loud or too soft. Oh, and no, I will never draw anyones face in this style again. I died of the animu.
Again, thank you, Myst! ;u;/

Ah, its been a long while, hasnt it? Well, at least a long while for you folks over on DeviantART. Well, long for you guys here, too.
But, after four months of development, trial, and error, I present Salvadors ACT 1 voice bank! Just released today!
http://www.mediafire.com/?mk4ejsf6m7z2zvc
I still find it funny that Salvadors voice is mine, just heavily modified. OuO
And as promised, his first song is Matryoshka with Ayano Avaron (Cpninjagrrls UTAU).
Not much to say other than Im proud of my boy. ;u;
Also, an enormous thanks to MystSaphyr (who some of you may know as UTAUxyz) and Cpninjagrrl for being there every step of the way and supporting me through the tough times. OuO
Please comment as it is my first time working with UTAU and I want to know how many mistakes I made. ._.
