Fancover of Tomodachi no Uta

Ya minna!! ヾ(＾∇＾)ー♪

I did another song cover (^-^*)


"Tomodachi no Uta", originally sung by Nakamura Ataru.

I saw other fancovers of this song....I can feel my self-esteem plunging hahaha TwT Why are these people so talented OTL Made me feel like I can't sing at all orz. TwT Apparently this song is very famous lol. It was sung by a person who went through gender change. She has a beautiful voice...and to think that she was male! Amazing, ne O3O

I faced countless disruptions while recording this song (why cant motorcycles be more quiet, why can't chickens lay eggs more quietly, why can't my sister call me a bit later etc etc) , so the mic noise sounded uneven because I recorded it in parts ヾ(´･ω･｀) Heard a 12 year old did a fancover of Rolling in the Dark. She sounds like a pro. WHAT IS WRONG WITH ME OTL Talented people, tch! I must work hard, too. O3O Ganbaruzo!! *takes out Singing for Dummies* orz

I'm gonna start applying for jobs tomorrow...sigh. (._.) But I do need money.

Still working on the P3P art & manga storyboard. OwO

Take care all! <(_ _)>

Ya minna! ~~~ヾ(＾∇＾)ー♪

I sang at 1 am today and this was the result:


"Moment" from Gundam Seed fancover by Sakura0104 & Iwashi (TV Size)

Saku pre-recorded this and I just added the harmonisation and male vocals -w- had to edit a lot of parts until 3.30am OTL Hngggh I'm tired (･ｪ･) See? Mass D can still sing together although the members are in different nations now. LOLOL. (*≧▽≦)~♪ I think my editing knowledge levelled up after that (￣▽￣)ノ＿彡☆バンバン！!

Need to finish up that P3P fanart. Wondering if I'm ready to apply for Gempak. Also wondering if I should apply for that Editor position. Tired. Gonna watch JAMPro DVDs now, whee!

I'm more active at Tumblr now lolol. http://iwashikun.tumblr.com

Take care all m(_ _)m

Responsibility

Shoving responsibilities onto others ≠ delegating responsibilities when the situation calls for it.

Don't be lazy. Get your ass of the ground and get the job done.

'nuff said.

Take care all! <(_ _)>

Fancover of Na Mo Naki Hate no Machi de

Ya minna!~ ( ﾟヮﾟ)

I did a song cover today. Yatta! d(*⌒▽⌒*)b I sang "Na mo Naki Hate no Machi de" (Nameless Frontier Town) from Macross 7 (sung by Fukuyama Yoshiki/Fire Bomber's Nekki Basara).

ｷﾀﾜァ*･゜ﾟ･*:.｡..｡.:*･゜(n‘∀‘)ηﾟ･*:.｡. .｡.:*･゜ﾟ･* !!!!!


Scratchy vocals and minor mistakes aside, I was relatively happy with it ヽ(´▽`)/ Unfortunately there are no instrumental version of this song available （ つ Д ｀） I'm sorry for the background noise, for some reason birds like to be my background singers ಠ_ಠ (happens every time lawl) and the scratchy vocals (couldnt fully warm up the vocals when I'm alone). I really love this song, I can feel the strong emotions in the original song >///< finally managed to cover it after so many days of not being able to record songs at home ಥ‿ಥ When I can play the guitar, I'll resing this song~ ʘ‿ʘ

I'm going to Malacca tomorrow, wish me a safe journey! ( ´ ▽ ` )ﾉ

When I go home, I'll do more song covers. Yosh! ヾ(＾∇＾)~♪ I love love love singing lolol.

Take care all! <(_ _)>

Scanner, 6-hour karaoke

Yeaaaaaaaaaaaaa MINNA~~~!!!! m9(^Д^)

I finally bought a scanner~ ಥ‿ಥ


It's a Canon flatbed scanner~



Now I can finally scan artworks again yaaaay. ⊂二二二（　＾ω＾）二⊃ So far it's working fine. I wonder if I should buy copics for my portfolio, but i'm rather tight financially at the moment lolol.

I'm now doing a part-time job for my friend's dad, but I'm not sure if I'm doing enough orz. Since it's a start-up company, everything, including my job scope, is still in "beta" version, namely, everything is still under "trial" basis. I hope I'll do a sufficiently good job orz? I have no idea how to bill him hahaha ;;;;

Anyway I went to karaoke anisongs for six hours today. SMI Cafe updated their joysound machine, so most songs could be keyed in （ ^_^）o自自o（^_^ ） I went with Peecee, Sam, Neko & Ken (Peecee's friend from Japan). It was fun, but it would be much more fun if Ryu & Saku were there （ つ Д ｀） My friends were flat on the sofa after singing for six hours lolol. I sang Crest of Zs, MAXON, SKILL, etc etc. But I forgot to key in Vanguard NOOOOOO ヽ(ｏ`皿′ｏ)ﾉ I think my vocal stamina levelled up lol?

Mm, I should start recording songs again. （‐＾▽＾‐）オーホッホ Haha...I guess not many people can appreciate the way I sing lolol. But that's normal.

Btw, I ordered JAM Project's Best Collection VIII album and Endoh-san's upcoming latest album lolol. ☜(⌒▽⌒)☞ I can't wait till they arrive ʘ‿ʘ

And I should really kick my ass to study for my test argh.

では、take care everyone! <(_ _)>

To quit job, Sea*A

Ya minna~ ~~~ヾ(＾∇＾)ー♪

Gonna leave my job sooner than expected due to the abundance of my leave days. Apparently, I'll leave the office on 3 July 2011, and I'll be on half day on the last day. The good thing is I'll have more time to study Japanese prior to the test. Yay! Of course I'm sad about leaving, but it doesn't mean that I can't see them whenever I want to ;D My colleague, Calvin broke his old chair today -w- apparently the sound was really epicly loud ("the sound of music", Stuart said) but I missed it cause I was at the Vegetarian Uncle's stall. (Uncle gave me a purse from Thailand yay!)

The journey to climb that wall to realising your dream is a thrilling one, as Danny Choo mentioned in one of his blogs lol. Life may become harder, but may also become more exciting =w=

*:--☆--:*:--☆:*:--☆--:*:--☆--:

Recently an anisinger unit called Sea*A was launched. The members, three Singaporeans and a Malaysian, get to record songs under Lantis. Best of all, their first single will be the ending song of Vanguard.

VANGUARD. NANIIIIIIIII ｶﾞ━━Σ(ﾟДﾟ|||)━━ﾝ!!

AUUUGH I'M SO JEALOOOOUS （ ｀´）===C<*_+ )ギュー *pinches random passerby*

I'm not sure which agency are they under though. But this shows that AFA's influence has grown to such a large extent ne... AFA might just be that key to reach what I'm pursuing.

The reaction towards the band is much better than the reaction shown towards Malaysia's new K-Pop groups. Yokatta 8D

*:--☆--:*:--☆:*:--☆--:*:--☆--:

This confirms it. I really want to be an aniuta no kashu @_@

At C2Age itself I saw a number of good singers. Makenaizo!

Need to learn to dance, write lyrics & play guitar, strengthen my vocal capabilities~ 分身！((((((-(-o()o-)-)))))) *ninja skillzorz* So much to do, so little time...I really wish I was 10 years younger. hahaha. I'd do good to make the best of my two-month holiday. Imma make a big fat schedule for singing, drawing, gaming and watching anime! Ｏ(≧∇≦)Ｏ Ganbaruzo!! This is so exciting ＼(o￣∇￣o)/ふあー

Recently I've started gaming and doodling again, it's like a "rewind" moment in my life. I feel a lot more like "myself" again woohoo!

I'm all fired up now but I have no personal space at the moment to do vocal practices. Boo.(/--)/~┻┻ 彡☆★ housemates, Y U come back so early? My fiery energy is wasted （；_・） Hopefully if I go back earlier tomorrow I'll be able to practice all out. or record a song. 八(＾□＾*) ﾀﾉﾑ!!

Speaking of which, I promised my friend Ryu to record a song with her before the event this weekend. O3O The last time we recorded I sounded like a kaeru due to after-event fatigue. Kerokerokero (>ω<＊)

I might opt for the goth-loli style maid dress...it's not as common as the other maid dresses I have in mind. But I'm scared that the tailor wouldn't do it properly O_O

AFA will be held on 11.11.11 in Singapore =w= such a catchy number lawl!

Considering to buy my darling Endoh's upcoming new album <3 *not acting like a jobless person trololol*

Take care all! <(_ _)>

To Italy again?

Ya minna~ (-.0)/

The Italian embassy has opened applications for study grants to Italy (similar to the one I did before).

I'm heavily considering to go. Of course, depending on where I'd be working during the study period, I'd have to quit that job. Or this job. I MISS U ITALY (+_+)

Next is to consider which grant to take. The simplest would be to take the same one as I did before, (three-month language study course) but hopefully, I'll get the "C" level during the entrance exam. Last time, I had the chance to go to the "C" level, but I chose "B" instead since my main aim was to tour around Italy. The certs from the "C" level can be used when one applies for jobs etc. The classes are harder though. I'm not sure how those certs would be used in Malaysia though. (-ω- )

Since the age limit is 35, I should go as often as I can. hahaha p(*＾-＾*)q

I dunno if the three-month language study grant for Japan is still available though.

I REALLY NEED A BREAK T____T

The pressure at the office is escalating, my team leader wants to see progress THIS WEEK, especially because the firm's Managing Director from the UK is here T___T

This means that I'll have to wake up at 4am to pad up unfinished work T___T

I'm also considering getting another job, but the thought of working in yet another office kinda scares me @___@ I'm scared this would repeat itself. But at the same time, there's a chance that it wouldn't. I dunno what to think anymore lllorzlll

Still wondering how to tell my parents that I want to quit my job, avoid nagging to become a government servant, trying to become an animator (probably after going to Italy) and learning animation basics and making an art portfolio while having a temporary job? @___@

Or maybe I should make a manga and send it to the Gempak editor and try my luck. hahaha. My friend who works there said that the competition is tough though. @__@ I don't mind the competition, but between the upcoming Japanese test (Ive barely studied for it), miserable salary(wo)man life and potential family problems, I haven't the time to make one at the moment. But I'd really like to try.

I'm kinda anxious to talk about it with my dad >_> I hope he'll understand. Maybe that way it'll be easier to break the news to my mum. @___@

Sorry for the rants and stuff, needed an outlet orz. My brain's gonna explode @__@

Sigh. I wanna be an aniuta no kashu.

Take care all <(_ _)>
