...so what on earth is this? where have I been?
It was on October of this year that I decided to do my first serious cover using an english voicebank, doing a song that I get hooked on every end of the year: Although I listen to a lot of "indie" music, this is one "mainstream" song that (I have to admit) is basically a masterpiece atleast from my point of view. I found that it had so much potential to be covered in different ways, so I did a more powerful cover with Meiko V3 back in 2020 and uploaded it to Soundcloud. But then I also wanted to do a cover that replicated the relaxed, dreamy and nostalgic atmosphere of the instrumental arrangement, while also keeping the phonetic rythm that the english lyrics had but the japanese ones lacked (I personally think the japanese lyrics are really well done though, it's just that the english ones fit in perfectly with the beat). That's how I came up with this cover.
And, hey, as limited as english Vocaloid voicebanks are, also given the fact that GUMI's pronunciation is not perfect, I'm quite happy with the result! I got exactly the disco sound I was looking for all this time! Sure, the vocals are not as real sounding as in many other japanese covers I've made, but that's not really what I was going for on this occasion anyway! I also took the freedom to change some of the lyrics, not for the sake of censorship, but just because I thought they would match the style better...
I also got inspired to draw something myself for the PV after more than a year of covers with recycled pictures and videos... This time I had to since the original music video is so well elaborated. I wanted to copy its aesthetics by drawing an "old-anime" stylized GUMI which was also fun to do! Unfortunately I was dealing with lots of exams too, so I had to postpone the upload of this video until I had free time, which is now! Hopefully I'll be able to get to work on the upcoming projects that I have planned!
PS: I'll see if I can upload the art to my DeviantArt...
PS2: I'm sorry for those who thought this was an original song
