I Love To Sing Em

A cover of a song that I'm working on right now.  This is kind of like round one of this song for me.  I want to improve my soft voice and my mixing/mastering techniques.  If you have any pointers please let me know!

I hope you enjoy this original cover of Lilypichu's "Consolation".  It was originally a piano composition which a friend of mine created lyrics for.

Lilypichu - Consolation (Original Cover)

Composer: Jeff Williams
Original singer: Casey Lee Williams

I only provided my original harmonies to the track.  The rest belongs to Jeff and Casey Williams.  This only further proves that my voice is really a "blend" voice currently.  I don't mind~ (collab with me pls).

RWBY - Cold (duet)

Music Artist: (Music) HanasoumenP/HSP/Hiroyuki ODA 
Lyrics: Chu-ji
Translyrics: Rockleetist
Vocals: Zal
Mix.Master.Tune: Zal

This is my first FULL cover, front and back.  I worked quite a bit for this one especially in the tuning and mixing department.  I used Rockleetist's translyrics because they flowed very nicely~  I understand that they are not exactly the same as the original japanese lyrics, but that's the cool thing about translyrics!

I stumbled across this song in 2012, right when I was getting into vocaloid.  This song's cool progressive beat really satisfied my ear because 2012 was about the time I fell in love with Techno and Trance.  This genre of music was so pleasing to me because of how hypnotic it is.  It relaxes and helps de-stress my mind when I needed it most. When any piece of genre of music has the ability to send you off to another world, I treasure it.

This is one of the few songs that really threw me into the Vocaloid genre.  I am glad I got around to covering this song.  I am also very proud of this work and know there are still a lot of things to improve.  I hope you enjoy my rendition of Unfragment by Hiroyuki ODA!

Hiroyuki ODA (Feat. Hatsune Miku) - Unfragment (English Cover)

I saw Roux do "Anime Tiddies" in 3 part harmony.  It inspired me so much that I decided to do one similar as well.

Based off "A Tag"

Anime Sucks [Tag]

This was something I had planned a long time ago.
I got SeiMei to sing this part and I added effects and harms~

Hey guys!  I finally got around to cover Echo!  I hope you enjoy!

I didn't make the kazoo instrumental tho.  that was CrusherP which I anything2mp3'ed from https://soundcloud.com/crusher-p/echo-kazoo-instrumental?in=weebtrash404%2Fsets%2Fkazoo

ZarruPee - Subsequent Delays In Tempo  (Echo Cover)

This song is beautiful.  Porter Robinson is beautiful.  Madeon is beautiful.  The animation is beautiful.
All I could say is wow.  This piano cover is absolutely amazing.  Thank you to https://soundcloud.com/nokturn for the beautiful piano rendition of Porter and Madeon's "Shelter".  I attempted to put my vocals over the piano.  Its 1 am. and I'm emotionally spent.  I hope I did this some sort of justice ^ ^

"I WANT TO BE THE ED TO ARUVN'S OP-- //SHOT"
Okay so this song cover was super inspired by Nye's cover of the ED and Aruvn's cover of the OP.  THIS SONG JUST FIT SO MANY ASPECTS OF WHAT I LIKE TO DO IN A SONG.

【Zal】Yuri!!! On ICE ED - You Only Live Once (TV Sized)

So this is one helluvah song and I love it so much that I bought the full thing off of ensou's bandcamp.  I think my voice can sorta handle this song ^^;;
I'm trying to figure out how to mix for metal/rock which is much different than the effect heavy EDM stuff >_>
Ensou-senpai teach me how to mix metal/rock OTL

Ensou - Living A Lie (WIP Cover)

Hori; “I like lemonade”
Zal; “I like tea”
✧ Theme: Your sentimental “One last time.”
✧ Interpretation:
“My body has been taken over by scars left by you”
“Stop it, stop it, don’t be so kind”
Glow and Kokoronashi are both songs about being hurt from loving someone but at the same time, still loving the other.  although Glow is about being hurt from the one that left them Kokoronashi is about hurt by how kind their loved one treats them and feeling undeserving of their affection. We are interpreting these two songs as a conversation between previous couples.  Both express the desire to share one more last of happiness with the other and express their thoughts from the previous relationship from their different perspectives.

"As I look up to the people aiming high, it feels a little hard to tear myself away"
New Year Upload!!

Thank you to Lua and Prince for showing me this upbeat and soulful song~  the english lyrics provided by Hazuki No Yume really struck a chord for me!  Hazuki No Yume has really opened my ears to a lot of vocaloid producers and songs that I've never heard!

The song gives me an optimistic and hopeful feeling about pursuing my dreams and higher greatness~  2016 the start of this channel and a huge growth period for me.  I really want to achieve high like the people that I look up to and admire.

Happy 2017 everyone!
I hope you stick with me on this musical journey~

"I’m so glad you are here, and as far as I can see
I’m so happy you’re as evil as me."

I was feeling feelings listening to this song again.  I decided to write and work on my own english translyrics for this song.  I'm also trying out some new mixing techniques.

I'm Glad You're Evil Too (English Cover)(WIP)

■ Original Composer: Crusher-P (https://twitter.com/CCrusherP)

■ Animator: Huh?, Zal

■ Vocals/Mix: Zal

"I'm black and I'm white, no something is right.  My enemy's invisible I don't know how to fight"

This cover basically took a whole year to finish HAHA.  It's finally done after countless re-mixing and delays and I'm very proud of the work that everyone did!  I commissioned Kimoi to do the art and asked a good friend to animate it.  A lot of the reasons why I re-mixed this so much is I wanted to make it better and better.  I watched Fokushi's cover and drew lots of inspiration from his mix and visuals.  I listened to Aruvn and Hikarustation's cover and gained inspiration from their power vocals.  I've tried my best to take these inspirations and forge into my own cover using Yunosuke's remix.  Yunosuke's arrangement of this song has so much high energy.  I tried my best to interpret this song with angst and frustration rather than desperate feelings.  I hope you enjoy my cover of Echo (Yunosuke Remix)!

I have to give a huge thank you to Yasuha for letting me use the instrumental to his original song "Starry Love".  Progressive House and Trance has always been where my roots where in Electronic music.

This song brings back many memories of listening to old vocatrance and house in general.  I also don't have to sing with so much intensity compared to other songs I've done ahahah.  My voice is still healing from this rampant cough I've had.

I hope you enjoy my cover of "Starry Love" by Yasuha

Hello!  It's been quite a while since I've uploaded a solo cover.  6 months... haha  First cover of 2018! hahaha....

This is one of those rare moments where I really enjoy the remix/arrange a bit better than the original.  Kira did SUCH an amazing job with the instrumental and arrangement.  Bless her for making this.

Madamamagoto was a song I came across a while back when searching for Soraru covers.
Soraru is a big inspiration to me because of how determined he was to sing and improve~ 
I kind of really went effect heavy with this cover (probably too much distortion).

I hope you enjoy~
Happy 2018!

I just got to say

WOW

Synthesizer V is absolutely amazing to use!  This is my first ever cover using a voice synthesis software and Eleanor is AMAZING.

Its very simple to adjust parameters of her voice.  I can actually make it sound like she's switching from a headvoice to a chestvoice!!  I haven't quite figured out how to master VOCALOID 5 yet... and i really like Synthesizer V for its simple user interface!  

Synthesizer V is still in development.  I would love to see some of the QoL features in VOCALOID 5 present in newer versions of SynthV!
