I have returned!!

Oh, sorry, I don't update this enough...

Well, since I last decided to update my blog (my previous post was a draft from ages ago that I never posted), a lot has happend. Namely, that I now have Megurine Luka and am making covers with her now too. 

So now you'll see both Luka and Shou in this blog!!

As a treat, here's a link to my first Luka cover:
'Video Games' by Lana Del Rey

My thoughts:

I decided to cover this song as Luka's English voice is really only good for slow ballads and such; it's just too soft. Hopefully this can be averted in her V3 update as there are appeneds being discussed/made/whatever.

I think I just happened to stumble on this song, and thought it a perfect match for Luka's voice. I began the VSQ but stopped as I got bored and restless.

Then I encountered the song again whilst I was reading a vocaloid related fanfiction. It was a collection of one-shots with different couples and different songs for the basis of each chapter. The latest one was an IA/Oliver friendship story based on 'Video Games', talking about IA's dual life being whatever her boyfriend wanted her to be, and being herself when she played on the computer. She befriends a person on an MMORPG, and eventually realises that in reality this person accepts her more for who she truly is, rather than her boyfriend where she plays whatever role he desires at the time. She arranges to meet the person (and throughout the story we are led to believe they are female) and discovers that he is  in fact a boy named Oliver. The story ends with them hugging...

At the time I was making crappy tests of SNSD VSQs with her English (which were VERY crappy, mind you). I'd obviously heard the song before and loved it already, and when having my usual discussion with the author afterwards, I felt more motivated to complete the VSQ.

And that was that.

Lana Del Rey is interesting, as I watched a YouTube clip comparing Lana to Hatsune Miku, saying both stars were fake in their own way (Lana having paid to change her artist 'image' to a more indie style, apparently). The song was always bittersweet to my ears, the lyrics just out of my grasp of understanding, but then again I guess that's why I find it so beautiful...

ANYWAY, I have another Luka cover ready (just need some art, if anyone wants help out there, leave a comment), so I will try to make an effort in updating this.

じゃ、また！！
