Happy Friday the 13th!! And surprisingly, we're at 13,000 subscribers?? That's definitely a fun coincidence w
Either way—remember when on the Monster Crush cover I mentioned that I only finally got it done because I had another Fukase cover in mind that I wanted to upload? This is that cover heheh
This song is definitely an old favorite mine—if anyone remembers my old UTAU days, you might also remember when back in 2012 I covered this song with the first iteration of my personal voicebank. Also on Friday the 13th, believe it or not. At the time, it was something I was really proud of, even if my entire concept of tuning amounted to “stretch out the pitchbends and make really, really long portamento (for maximum smoothness!!).” I ended up listening to it again a couple months ago and figured, hey, I’m already on a retuning streak—why not give it another shot and see how much I’ve grown over the years? I mean tuning aside, the original cover definitely left something to be desired in terms of mixing and vocal quality w
This time around, it’s Fukase taking the lead!! I tried my best at adding in some dynamic pitchbends and some more dramatic vibratos, but I’ll admit the bends themselves aren’t exactly the most interesting choices w. I think that’s something I’ll learn the more I go along, which just means I need to keep at it and keep experimenting! I also gave 2 layered harmonies and different chords a bit of a shot, which is something you hear a bit more of in the Donut Hole cover (seeing as I made this one back in July and Donut Hole was August w).
I also tried handling him a bit more into his lower range!! I originally wanted to cover this at the original pitch, but while Fuka does have his charms that low, he also loses a lot of his clarity and starts distorting quite a bit. I had to bump it up a note or two in order to give him some respite, but not enough to end up quite in the same range as the Monster Crush cover.
That aside, I’ve been a bit busy between work and school, so I had to drop the PV back down to the usual Mio signature: “art assets wobbling on a static background” hehheh. I did, however, try to recreate a bit of the feeling of the original PV image along with adding in a bit of a "bottom lit box diorama" feel. Or maybe more like a paper-craft theater? Either way, as simple as it is, I hope you'll still enjoy it!!
I also took some creative liberties with the English subtitles?? t12111's translation was a little stiff and hard to work with at points?? So I ended up looking up some kanji and figuring out some alternate translations, but for the most part I have little faith in my edit orz
so AAA maybe don't reference my interpretation dsajhglksf
Overall, I feel like this is at least a halfway decent cover?? Definitely a world of difference from the old 2012 laptop mic CV cover w
Please enjoy!! And thanks again for all the wonderful support!!
