【VY2】Erica / エリカ【VOCALOIDカバー】

I guess all this downtime has given VY2 the perfect opportunity to finally sit down and condition his hair w

So!! Remember how I missed the VY2 anniversary this year because I was super stressed and just didn't vibe with any of the WIPs I'd been working on after being forced to scrap upwards of 7 of them for one reason or another?? Except then literally within a week of missing the actual date I suddenly unlocked a hidden power and suddenly started rocketing through my WIPs with unprecedented speed, hence the triple upload for the ZOLA anniversary??

Turns out this was one of the WIPs that got finished during that span of time, and in a sudden fit of anxiety-driven Adult Life™ avoidance earlier this week, I slam dunked myself into my desk chair, threw together a fast cover art, banged out a PV, and now here we are w

This also may or may not be another case of Doll and Left Eye vs. Monster Crush wherein I've got a newer, super fast, for fun cover that I want to upload but know I have other projects I need to upload first and thus here's the belated VY2 anniversary video w. It's anyone's guess whether or not I'll actually be able to get done with that for fun upload before the several month long burnout hits, but it's a nice possibility to think about w

Other than that!! About all I have to say is that this was probably my first serious attempt at mixing in Logic, which was no small task considering the original has a very specific sound to it (that I was unfortunately unable to capture OTL not that this sound is bad or anything, but I definitely have a particular soft spot in my heart for the original balance w).

Figuring out a cover art was definitely a bit of fun considering the minimalistic style that seems to be あめのむらくもP's signature, but I ended up aiming for a limited palette look based on the original title work. The kaleidoscope backing accents was something of a happy accident at first, but honestly, I love the way it looks ! ! !

Overall, I sort of ended up aiming for a more "mature" and "restrained" style of PV without as much movement or special effects or whatnot, which also helped reduce the production time and let me focus more on getting out before I could second guess myself w

I feel like this was a fun change of pace!! I've learned a lot about Logic and modified pitch-snap tuning since making this cover, and I feel like it'll be nice to apply that knowledge to the next project as well!!

Thanks for reading, and I hope you enjoy ! ! ! !

Also, if you're a fan of this cover, I definitely encourage you to check out the original and give it the same love ! ! ! I've fallen in love with あめのむらくも's work and I cannot escape ! ! !    • 【GUMI】エリカ　あめのむらくもＰ   / https://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm3240...
