Oops. That's all I can say on this.
Seriously. Oops.
Piano arranged 2K14 version a while ago, why can't I do the same?

The full story is that I'm doing a lot of songs for the Vocaloid band I'm in, and everyone has their hands full of my composition sheets and work for months with those.
Feels more like a child-song than an arrangement though. I did change a lot of stuff in the song, admitting that (Can you spot the original riff in this "arrangement"?).

This was a really fun track to make. I got to work on a style that was totally new for me and it really challenged my production skills. A huge thanks to my collaborator friends that helped with mixing, lyric translations, and live instrument recordings -- you guys are awesome! Also, thanks to anyone who checks out the track, I hope you like it!

ショーの夜　準備は良いかい？
ドキドキ止まらない！

広い部屋に踏み込む　懐かしい笑顔でいっぱい
マイクに手を伸す　息を継ぐ
今を生きる！

拍手も歓声と共に　ショータイムよ
興奮な目で, 私は歌うね

感情が強く　みんな繋がている
一緒に、ライト・ザ・ステージ！　世界を照らせ！

Bridge Part 2:
緊張を溢れて世で　脱出したいよ
さぁ手を取って、逃げましょう
精一杯楽しみましょう　今日だけで良いから
一途歌うわ

徹夜に踊り　夢中で失われ 
夢だったら　起きないで
この瞬間ずっと終われたくないね
それは良いね！

Chorus 2:
(Now's the time) 拍手も歓声と共に　ショータイムよ
(Come alive) 興奮な目で、私は歌うね
問題を忘れましょう, 両手を持ち上げよ

のんびりと楽しい時間が必要だ
私たちの夜, まだまだよ
音楽が流れていて　みんな異体同心ね
踊り明かす　夜の目も寝ず

心配は必ず消えるよ！

一緒に、ライト・ザ・ステージ！　世界を照らせ！

Lyrics: 

The ring of a bell came from the door 
Chased after it and turned out to be one
One mistake that I felt I had made

At the time my heart stopped beating
Reluctantly we still kept to ourselves
I'm still broken from the epilogue of before

I'm trying to keep my head clear
So why's it so conflicting
Before the dawn, my memories 
are shattering on the floor

We'll definitely meet again
We'll definitely meet again

I'm here always calling out to you
When all the reason in my mind halts
We'll seek the answer from each other's words
As long as we continue to exist

What might be that you're looking for
You didn't answer; just walked into the house
Left your shoes lying in the corridor

You turned around and faced me
Broke the ice between us

We'll definitely meet again
We'll definitely meet again

I'm here always calling out to you
When all the reason in my mind halts
We'll seek the answer from each other's words
As long as we continue to exist

(As long as we continue… as long as we continue)
As long as we continue to exist
(As long as we continue… as long as we continue)
As long as we continue to exist

Lyrics

What I've been waiting for
something I need more and more
But the answers just keep fading away
You are sitting next to me
Yet you seem so far away
I pray, this moment is here to stay

Under the old pine tree
Where we used to share our dreams
You found out the truth
That I hid there long ago

I thank you for everything
Even if you aren't there
The warmth you had evoked in me
While i searched for the answers
Despite it being far too late
I still want to let you know
In my deepest dreams
I love you so much that it hurts

Hard to catch was name of the game
You didn't agree so I'll take the blame with me
The rules are set in the clouds

Now I want to keep you satisfied
To keep your wings untied
I know it doesn't justify
The fact that I lied

So thank you for everything
Even if you aren't there
The warmth you had evoked in me
While i searched for the answers
Despite it being far too late
I still want to let you know
In my deepest dreams
I love you so much that it hurts


I thank you for everything
Even if you aren't there
The warmth you had evoked in me
While i searched for the answers
Despite it being far too late
I still want to let you know
In my deepest dreams
I love you so much that I--

Thank you for everything
Even if you aren't there
The warmth you had evoked in me
While i searched for the answers
Despite it being far too late
I still have to let you know
In my deepest dreams
I love you so much that it hurts

You are sitting next to me
Yet you seem so far away
I pray, this moment is here to stay

Do do, do do do do do
Do do, do do do do do
Do do, do do do do do
Do do do

Do do, do do do do do
Do do, do do do do do
Do do, do do do do do
Do do do

Oh love,
I like your skin exposed
Think I'm feeling
A bit aroused

Don't you know I have the Frost Queen's crown?
All I have to do is pull you down

Let's meet at the fields of snow
And I'll teach you something you were never told
Never told

I will cuddle my way through your scarf
and bite you just out of love
Oh baby it's gonna leave a mark!

I will cuddle my way though your scarf
and bite you just out of love
Oh baby it's nothing cruel
I just want to do those things to you

Do do do, do do
Do do do do do do,
Do do do, do do

Hey darling,
I think we're a good fit
I'm a cool girl
To hang out with

Don't you know I have the Frost Queen's crown?
You can't escape for I shall track you down

Come on and get on my bed of ice
Hold me tight and close your eyes

I will cuddle my way through your scarf
and bite you just out of love
Oh baby it's gonna leave a mark!

I will cuddle my way though your scarf
and bite you just out of love
Oh baby it's nothing cruel
I just want to do those things to you

Oh---- Oh-----


When the spring comes to Stockholm
Unfortunately I have to go
I love you so, so

I will cuddle my way through your scarf
and bite you just out of love
Oh baby it's gonna leave a mark!

I will cuddle my way though your scarf
and bite you just out of love
Oh baby it's nothing cruel--

I will cuddle my way though your scarf
and bite you just out of love
Oh baby it's nothing cruel
I just want to do those things to
You, you, you, you---
You, you, you, you---

Lyrics:

Another sunny Monday morning
But I can't get out of my bed
Stretching out, holding in my yawn
The mirror tells me that my eyes are red

Last night I tried to
Write you a letter from here
But no words came in my mind
All they do is disappear

Another rainy Tuesday morning
When was the last time we met?
Stepping into a puddle again
Now my feet are cold and wet

I bottled my wishes
And sent them out to sea
But will you respond in kind--
Bring the message back to me?

I'll give it one, one more try
To have my inner feelings described
I want to know how it 
Feels to be in love
Give it one, one more go
There's so much that I want to know
I want to know how it
Feels to be in love

Hello Hello
How are you?
Hello Hello
How are you?

Another windy Wednesday morning
I see you when it starts to rain
My hair's a mess. I'm in over my head
I cry out "when can I see you again?"

The small things that make me smile
Are all I'm looking for
But when I'm with you
I keep asking for more and more

Another cloudy Thursday morning
I slide my fingers through my hair
Waiting by the phone for a call from you
Asking what was the time again?

Oh, last night I couldn't sleep
My head busy with yesterday
Wondering to myself how 
You take my breath away

I'll give it one, one more try
To have my inner feelings described
I want to know how it 
Feels to be in love
Give it one, one more go
There's so much that I want to know
I want to know how it
Feels to be in love

Hello Hello
How are you?
Hello Hello
How are you?

I'll give it one, one more try
To have my inner feelings described
I want to know how it 
Feels to be in love
Give it one, one more go
There's so much that I want to know
I want to know how it
Feels to be in love

Give it one, one more try
To have my inner feelings described
I want to know how it 
Feels to be in love
Give it one, one more go
There's so much that I want to know
I want to know how it
Feels to be in love

Hello Hello
How are you?
Hello Hello
How are you?

Hello, How Are You? 【MIKU EXPO 5th Anniversary Song Contest】

Pianobench? Uploading an actual finished song in 2020? It's more likely than you think.

I've missed making music and was stuck in a huge rut for the last year, but inspiration hits when it hits, and I'm back to playing around with my weird little synthesizers.

Bones belongs to the lovely giraffe-kun.

The thumbnail is actress Nobu Kanaoka in the film Phantom of Regular Size, which was one of the main inspirations for this song, and will make many appearances in the video I'm working on for it.

Lyrics:

Analog beauty queen
Don't you wanna make a scene?
Transhumanist and glamorous
You'll carve a place in history
Digital's the new black
Find a plan of your attack
Time is running out for you
And soon there is no going back

(Chorus)
Be the android you always wanted to be
Find the robotic beauty inside of the beast

Iron knuckles, steel toes
Magnesium overdose
Heavy metal sleeping beauty
Bite into a silver rose
Make yourself reactive
Your flesh is not attractive
Scrape your stomach, cinch your heart
Nothing all too drastic

(Chorus)

Metallic lips and leaded words
Soon you'll figure out it works
Don't look so confused, my dear
You're well aware that beauty hurts
Starve your body, boil your brain
Find your strength within the pain
Rust and rouge upon your face
Naught but perfection will remain

(Chorus)
