Considering that I hardly update my Soundcloud, I figured I'd put up this old thing...I recorded this for Mel back in July. That makes 3 times that I've covered this song (I first sang it back in 2012, and then I covered the Ib version earlier this year xD) This is on a slightly higher pitch than the original song, though, to make it more comfortable to hit the lowest notes.

Anyhow, I hope you enjoy c:

I'm glad that YTChorus's monthly theme for August features acoustic arrangements because otherwise I probably would've put off covering this song for a lot longer. (Psst you should check out Mio and Jess's recent covers of Vivi too)

I can't find the right words to express myself either. But I'll carry on singing.

The song was originally performed by SID and served as the 5th opening to Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood.

FMA Brotherhood is my all-time favorite anime and this month's YTChorus theme was rain, so I figured it was high time I tried covering this song. I found this amazing instrumental rock cover of Rain https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WHAySSdtlNE and asked if I could make a vocal cover with it. K NJ graciously took the time to remaster the cover and redid the drum part before sending me the file.

Apologies for my echo-ey vocals...recording in the music practice rooms in my dorm complex tends to result in a lot of echoes, and although my room might not have that issue as much, it's rare that I get the privacy in my own dorm to record since I have two roommates ^-^;; Hopefully I can figure out better ways to record.  And of course I still have to practice my mixing orz

Song: Yowamushi na Honoo / 弱虫な炎 / Cowardly Flame
Vocals and mixing: Kumoshi
The song was originally performed by DIRTY OLD MEN as the second opening for Yowamushi Pedal.

I've been really really into Yowamushi Pedal for the last few months - I thought it had died down for a while, but Grande Road rekindled the flame (get it--flame--because this song's title is about flames--okay sorry that was lame) so I sang this song to get it out of my head. Please pardon the strained voice, I shouldn't be trying to sing when I haven't had much opportunity to practice and I'm so tired out from a combination of insomnia, colds, and school stress... I probably won't be doing a full version of this song due to lack of motivation (aka laziness).

I feel that I didn't sing the harmonies correctly for this whoops but it's a hassle to redo since I have to go back to the music practice rooms and try to tap out the harmonies on the piano orz

Anyhow, please do check out Yowamushi Pedal's anime and/or manga, I highly recommend it 8D I've never had an interest in sports in real life but for some reason over the past year or two I've gotten into various sports series...

Message from Kumoshi:
A huge thank you again to my friend Kat for animating this! I know I bugged you way too much about this chorus and I'm sorry about that. Thanks for your patience in putting up with me and all the technical issues in Flash.

I also want to thank Aeon for drawing all of our personas, recording on short notice, and suggesting people for me to contact who might be able to mix.

This that other really old collab that I mentioned in the Maji Love 1000% video description. I "organized" (if you can even call it organizing, since I learned that I am terrible at being in charge of collabs) this chorus around the same time as the Maji Love 1000%, so again the vocals are from 2013. Do check out the singers' channels for their more recent singing. This chorus went through a lot of hiccups, which were pretty much all my fault. I must not have made it clear enough that we were going to be covering this song on a different pitch than the original pitch; one of the singers recorded on the original pitch and wasn't available to rerecord, so he ended up being replaced. (If you happen to be reading this, thank you for expressing interest in the chorus initially and I'm sorry again for not reminding you about the different pitch before you recorded ;; ) Then, since so much time had passed, the original mixer had assumed the collab was dead and no longer had the time to work on it. Kiki agreed to mix for us, but then her hard drive got damaged and she lost the mixing files so further adjustments couldn't be made. I liked the mix well enough and felt it'd be disrespectful after the work she put in to go find another mixer, so I decided to use what Kiki had sent me. And the original animator lost interest since so much time had passed. It was actually one of my offline (I'd feel strange saying "real life" since people that I met through the Internet exist in real life too) friends who saw a Facebook post that I'd made looking for animators, and she offered to animate.

It was because Flash wasn't cooperating that Kat wasn't able to add all the things she wanted to the video. I didn't want the chorus to drag on forever so I eventually just told her to export what she already had for the video even if it wasn't complete. Sorry it's not in HD, but even at this quality level, which is what the video was when Kat sent it to me, it was already more than 4 GB... O_O;; Also, if you're wondering why Aeon's persona looks to be in a slightly different style, it's because Aeon replaced a singer, and we decided to just use that picture to save Aeon having to draw and color more art.

This song was the opening to Gekkan Shoujo Nozaki-kun.

I recorded this a couple of months ago but I'm pretty behind on mixing and compiling videos... Have a ton of collabs that I need to record for but I've been sick for more than a week and really busy with school. I might still post some solos in the coming weeks and months but they're mostly ones that I recorded during my winter break back in December and January. Sorry in advance if it takes me a while to record for things, and feel free to remind me D:

This is such a catchy song but it was rather tricky to get the style that I wanted when I sang it. I still don't really feel satisfied with how my singing turned out, but at least it was a lot of fun to sing. c: That one really fast line took a lot of practice, though, because I am really bad at enunciating when I sing fast. And Gekkan Shoujo is such a cute series, I highly recommend you check it out!

Song: Keibetsu Shiteita Aijou / Scorned Love / 軽蔑していた愛情
Music and lyrics: Yasushi Akimoto and Yoshimasa Inoue
Vocals and mixing: Kumoshi
The song was originally performed by AKB48's Team A and Team K.

At Fanime this year, I went to a panel that was an intro to j-pop idols and heard this song for this first time. I hadn't really listened to AKB48's music much before - Sugar Rush was pretty much the only song I knew due to Wreck-it Ralph - but I was fascinated by this song almost instantly. I ended up checking out a lot of AKB48's other songs due to this, but in the end Keibetsu Shiteita Aijou is by far one of my favorites. I guess it was because the subject matter and the musical style contrast a lot to most of their more upbeat music.

I sang this on -2 key compared to the original.

The song was originally sung by Yuuki Aira as the ending of True Tears.

I probably wouldn't have thought to sing this song since there's so many more recent songs I've been meaning to cover, but I thought it would suit YTChorus's September theme of "reconnections" since the lyrics bring to mind a lot of past friendships I wished I'd held onto (though there's some mentions of love in the song, it's easier for me personally to relate to it as platonic love rather than romantic). I was really into Yuuki Aira for a while and I remember I liked True Tears back when I watched it, though I don't know if it'd be to my taste if I were to watch it today, so that was additional incentive to cover this song. But it felt like too much of a rush to get it for September so I'm finally releasing this near the end of October after scrambling to make a very simple video. Thank you very much THD for the lovely mix!

My kanji knowledge is shit so I'm not sure if I romanized the names of the lyricist and composer correctly, since I used my trusty friend Google Translate for assistance. Feel free to correct me on the names (:

Also, happy super early Halloween, even though this cover has nothing to do with Halloween ahaha

Happy birthday to Akemi https://www.youtube.com/user/AkemiKasumi ! I hope school and life in general are going well for you. Looking forward to talking to you more (sorry if the messages are always too long to reply to, haha...) and to hearing your lovely singing voice again, but totally understandable if you're busy...Currently buried in final projects and essays myself ^-^;;

I considered attempting something in French, but ended up not doing that this time. I don't know if you're into One Piece (I myself haven't watched the anime and only just started the manga) but I really like the beat and lyrics of this song. I felt that they were suitable to express how I felt about our friendship, such as these parts (English translations courtesy of AzureDark on animelyrics):
"(Share the music)  Always 
(Share the one dream)  Believe in each other   
(Share the good times)  Let's join hands 
Share the one world now"

"Until we reach  the huge sky above 
I'm gonna try  and try again 
Let's go and make it right now 
I believe  towards the one tomorrow"

"(Share the music)  No matter how far 
(Share the one dream)  We'll always hear each other 
(Share the good times)  Laugh with me 
Share the one world now"

So here's to our continued friendship and to continuing to strive, improve, and enjoy in our lives!

This is my youtaite secret santa gift for Utsu https://www.youtube.com/user/DigitalxKeyblade ! I considered singing a full version of Unravel but I still don't feel I'm able to do that song justice :c Since you're into Detective Conan and said you liked Valshe, and I love Valshe myself, I figured I'd pick this. I ended up lowering the pitch to sing it since I had to choose between either struggling with low notes or straining on the high notes, so I apologize to your ears as I am definitely no Valshe, which I have been unpleasantly reminded of while trying to sing this, pfft. I did consider singing Mai Kuraki's Revive as well, since that song is just so groovy. You have good taste in singers B)

I'll probably need you to prod me to get into Jojo's Bizarre Adventure and Detective Conan since they're such long series that I keep putting them off OTL. But anyhow, happy holidays and thanks for entertaining me with your tweets ohoho

This month's YTChorus theme is Mix n' Mash: http://ytchorus.forumotion.com/t6878-monthly-theme-december-mix-n-mash
Since one of the suggestions was to do a multilingual cover, I figured it was a good time to finally tackle Tsumugi Uta, which is a song I've liked for ages but kept putting off because I couldn't make up mind what key to sing it on. I hadn't wanted to sing in falsetto, but the instrumental just doesn't sound as good when pitched a lot. But now I'm just ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Also, I feel like my tone was a bit inconsistent between the Mandarin and Japanese parts of the cover, maybe because I recorded them on different days. I also decided not to do harmonies because I had a hard time figuring them out and I felt it wasn't super necessary for this song.

I apologize for my Mandarin pronunciation ;; I don't really know how to speak Mandarin since my parents mostly speak Shanghainese at home and I can't read Chinese at all, so I was mostly going by ear and basing my pronunciation off of other people's covers. Somehow I expected the pinyin to be relatively straightforward to follow, but then I don't know pinyin and Mandarin seems to have a lot more tones compared to Japanese. It probably doesn't help that these lyrics are written in an older, more arcane style of Chinese (at least according to my parents) which makes it harder to understand on top of my mispronunciation. I considered singing another Chinese version of this song called 采薇 which was made by HITA, since my parents said the lyrics were in a more modern style of Chinese and were easier to understand, but I had a hard time finding more information about it so I just went with Yuinu's version instead.
You can find the lyrics here: http://takeit-home.livejournal.com/15962.html

Thank you for reading this and listening to the cover. I've mostly been catching up with family and friends lately so I haven't recorded for as many collabs as I would've liked, so sorry for the wait ;; Happy holidays and new year to you all c:

Anyhow, I'm really glad to have met you on Twitter and that we got to become friends. Hard to believe it was so long already - we're getting older and more adult by the day - and you were going by a different alias back then but I recall you had a Haruichi icon and thus had to be both sports anime and utaite trash B)  You're a cool bean and I enjoy talking to you and seeing you on my dashboard and TL.

The original song was performed by LiSA as the first opening of Sword Art Online.

Trying to finally get through my backlog of covers from last year that I hadn't released, so here's a short cover back from when I was feeling like singing LiSA's songs. Sang this on -4 pitch compared to the original.

I still feel that some of my harmonies don't sound right for this :c Something's bugging me about how my vocals sound when I try to mix recently but I can't quite put my finger on what it is (maybe that's a sign that I should have other people mix again, haha). I had issues with exporting the video for this too, but it seems that was because Adobe somehow didn't recognize that I renewed my student subscription for Creative Cloud.

I never actually finished SAO, only made it about halfway through the first season. In the beginning I had high hopes, but I ended up being disappointed that Asuna seemed to become a damsel in distress even though she was supposed to be a competent fighter in her own right, and then the brocon got introduced with Suguha ;; Oh well.

I picked this song since I love both of your covers of this song and I do happen to like this song. I sang this on +3 key compared to the original, which is the pitch that Tourai sang on in his cover. I still don't feel that I'm able to sing it satisfactorily, though, and I think my mixing further butchered it since my vocals sound so...bland ;; Ironically I think the raws might sound a little better...

Ever since I first came across your covers a few years ago, I instantly loved your singing and have looked up to you as one of my favorite utaite. So I was really happy to get to talk to you and that we became friends. I was delighted to find that not only did we have some favorite series in common (I recall FMA, Ghibli movies, probably various BL series as well, and based on MAL there are quite a few more, such as Otomen. Thanks for urging me to watch Tamako Market, I really enjoyed it!) but you're also kind, approachable, and generous ;w; I really enjoy your presence on my TL and dashboard, as well as getting to see you get even better at singing and drawing as time goes by, and I will always treasure the holiday cards and art of OCs that you've made for me. Thanks for putting up with the vagueness of my OC refs too ;;
Even if at times you may not be satisfied with your singing, I hope you're still enjoying what you do and I'll always be cheering you on. I feel blessed to have you as a friend and I hope many happy times come your way!

I heard you liked HoneyWorks so I hope this is a song that you like...I can definitely relate to this kid since I have so much trouble even saying hello to people and often try to rehearse things to say before going into a social situation. Hence why I generally end up interacting with you on Twitter rather than other means and I apologize for not talking to you more, as much as I'd like to ;;

You've always been really kind and sensitive and have a great sense of humor and I'm really glad to have met you. Thanks for inviting me to Skype calls even though I was super awkward in that one call with S.Q.U.A.D. I was really happy and touched that you sang and took the time to gather people's messages for my birthday last year. I look forward to hearing covers from you and getting your snaps even if I don't really reply or send snaps much myself. And I also really enjoyed singing Love is an Open Door with you too~

Good luck with the Hunger Games btw - I feel like I've been gone from Twitter so much that whenever I come back it's like that gif from Community where the room is on fire...

Hey, guys. Long time no see! ~(▰˘◡˘▰)~

I’m back again to bring you an English duet of Mushikui Psychedelism, the second song in the Heisei Project produced by Zips. I stumbled upon this song over a year ago and immediately wanted to translate it. Soon afterward, I PMed Kumoshi and asked them to sing these lyrics with me. Luckily, they agreed to do so, and I was thrilled to be able to sing with them again.

It was great to have Kumo as my partner in crime on this project, because I was a bit discouraged by the high range of this song, even while translating it. It’s a song that requires powerful singing, and that style isn’t usually my forte. Surprisingly, using the top part of my range was actually pretty fun. It let me test the limits of my abilities and grow as a singer. ᕙ(⇀‸↼‶)ᕗ

There isn’t much more to say other than this: I hope that you enjoy listening to this cover as much as we enjoyed working on it. Until next time! ♥

This is old (from September 2012, for a friend's birthday) but I never uploaded it to YT because 1) I was keeping a secret what my YT was from people I know in real life (a few of them discovered it by accident recently though ;A; ) and 2) I'd rather not risk getting strikes xD I still kinda like some parts of this cover even though a lot of it is sucky. Maybe someday I'll redo it and there'll be some semblance of improvement...

どうして君を好きになってしまったんだろう？ (Doushite Kimi Wo Suki Ni Natte Shimattandarou)

Made this a few months ago for Lollia's trio ready of this song - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sx07EBLHGK4
English lyrics by Razzy.
So if anyone wanted to do a trio of this song and needed someone to do Hyadain's part, uh, feel free to use this ;w;
Currently working on covering the original Japanese version of Choose Me, though ;D

Choose Me (English) - TRIO READY Hyadain's part

I'm Kumoshi, who tries to sing Vocaloid songs. Please refer to me with they/them pronouns! I'm more active on YT especially given Soundcloud's restrictions for free users. Feel free to talk to me anytime, and I welcome collab requests as well!
