I am absolutely in love with this song and its author so it was only a matter of time before I did this, even though my guitar is all over the place as usual.

End of summer mood with this groovy song, and since it's Toki's only song (I believe?) completely in English, it was fun to sing without having to research on the meaning and translations first -

I recorded this vocal track late at night some time ago in the cosiness of a small yellow studio lamp and two orange window curtains.

I planned to do a medley of 4 songs this year as well, but so far I only managed to complete 2 to a level I am satisfied at, and this is the best one so far.
Kou and Sora duet was rushed and simple, as for the other 2 they are in the works but are rather complicated to work on my own, so maybe next year at some point they will see the light.

I tried playing a little with DxSx balance like the original song.

I've been stuck with this song for far too long, I love it so much but I figured if I recorded it at least I would maybe be able to move forward.

It was hard, I'm not particularly good when it comes to soft tracks: if I recorded on the original instrumental track then I would have gone all out, but with my current resources I decided to try for an acoustic one, and this is how we end up here.

I had some trouble identifying all the voices, especially in the chorus, so please forgive me if sometimes I sound completely off.
That aside I really enjoyed doing this, both Shiki and Rikka's way of singing is really interesting and catchy, literally, it sticks to your soul if that makes sense. 
I hope even just a little of that feeling came out of my own voice, but I'll keep working on it!

(Acoustic cover) - Sera Rikka & Takamura Shiki (SolidS)- DARK MOON ANGEL (シキ&リッカ)

It took me so long to figure this one out because I absolutely wanted to insert the piano part, even though I never played piano in my life before, I somehow figured it out with an emulator of some sort, I'm sorry if it sounds weird --

I tried to work the lyrics out in English on my own using various translations I found on the net, so I hope that as well doesn't sound too weird, because I really am not confident in singing Korean yet -

I did my best in trying to clean up the recordings but the microphone I'm using is quite tricky and not really a great one so - doing what I can with what I have I presume --

Either way I'm happy I finally got to finish this **

I've realised it's been so long since I last did something so I had to record, anything.
It took me a couple of hours and I tried to keep it as "live" as possible, hence all the little mistakes are still there and my voice wasn't warm yet, but it's fine. I believe if I try too many takes I'll start to slowly loose the feeling and emotions I wanna convey through the melody so I'm still happy I got this one song done, because I love it.
To self: last piece recorder with Audition

Just a quick vocal only cover for a small contest about the videogame. Guitar track offered by the contest's hosts.
To self: last piece recorded with old mic, first with Ableton

[Vocal cover] Through the valley - The last of us II

As a small personal project this year I tried to record a small part of each Growth Re:Start duet for every member's birthday. My skills and equipment changed along the way and the difference is clear between each of the 4 tracks.

With 時のはざまに I wasn't sure what I was doing just yet.
With Apostasy I started realizing my equipment needed an upgrade.
Promessa is my favourite of the 4 and the one I've put the most effort into.
名も無き星たち came with the worst timing sadly and for a series of reasons I never managed to finish it nor work on it as I wished, but somehow got through it just enough to finish the series.
