In this world of instant messages and preset fonts, it seems that anything written down appears insignificant to the human soul these days.
Even more alarmingly... people focus so much time on sending instant letters to each other that they forget how to read basic facial and body expressions.
As someone studying Psychology... that terrifies me.

The People's Warmth - ＊ageha Debut Indie Release - 1st Utattemita Album
THE DAY HAS FINALLY COME.
I'M RELEASING AN UTATTEMITA ALBUM. * A *
A few months ago, I saw Pokemon Reorchestrated, one of my FAVOURITE fan composers of all time, post a link to his Kanto Region album on Facebook... on a new site.
This site is LOUDR, and it's designed specifically for cover artists that want to make a living off of their derivative works. The site's team contacts the original composers, obtains permission, and decides on loyalty payments to help make BOTH sides of the party earn money from BOTH of their works.
At the time, the site was still in Beta, and not available to the public. However, just recently, the site made its public debut and invited mailing-listed musicians to join their roster.
I'll be joining them with my first acoustic-English cover utattemita album.
For those of you who are new to the concept of utattemita or any of the -ttemitas, allow me to explain.
utattemita is Japanese for "I tried to sing". Traditionally, on the Japanese video sharing site, NicoNicoDouga, anything uploaded into this category on the site presented amateur covers done by faceless - but named - musicians of already-existing songs.
When the Vocaloid producer community hit its peak in 2007 with producers like ryo(supercell/EGOIST), Hachiouji-P, and kz(livetune), the amateur singers of utattemita videos were also given a platform to perform these songs that were originally performed by vocal synthesizers. Many have gone on to major labels such as UMAA and Sony Music, but there are a handful that preferred to stick to the online indie Vocaloid music scene.
Please check out the set list and release dates below!

UNPLUGGED @ KLIP x MiniComi Cosplay Fashion Show!
Hi guys! Making another concert announcement this time! 8D
My band, Ryouko, will be having another show at the upcoming KLIP x MiniComi Cosplay Fashion Show at K-Fever Karaoke in Richmond at 6:30pm! Doors will open at 5:30pm, so be sure to get there early and get settled down! >w<
But, Ryouko's not the only one doing a performance for this one...
I'll also be doing a solo, 15-minute, unplugged/acoustic set at the event as well. o u o
To be quite honest, I'm kind of nervous, because it's been a while since I've done a solo live show with my guitar. OTL I'll do my best!
The playlists for both the Ryouko set and the solo set are going to be a surprise! >w<
Hope to see you guys there! <3

Ryouko @ Anime Evolution 2013
Hi again!
Most of you know by now that I spend a lot of my time in the music community with my band, Ryouko. August will mark the band's first anniversary, where we first debuted on the outskirts of the Vancouver Convention Centre at Anime Revolution 2012, and recorded our very first MV ("Just Be Friends") at the University of British Columbia during Cos & Effect 2012.
With the return of Anime Evolution at the end of this month, Ryouko will actually have a stage on the roof of the SUB building at UBC on Friday, June 28th.
We're in the program, too! 8D
Hopefully the pamphlet will describe more about what we're about besides "Ryouko - band" ; A ;'' OTL
Be sure to RSVP to the event here! (Event page is still under construction because BOMHAT has Provincials, I think. OTL)

Hope to see you all there! <3

Twitter Users, get ready for Tourette!
On Wednesday, June 19th, 2013, the Tourette Syndrome Foundation of Canada will be taking over Twitter handles to simulate how a person would act if they had Tourette Syndrome.
"Wednesday from 9 o’clock on tweets will come out from your twitter handle with the equivalent of verbal tics. You won’t know when they’re coming and you won’t know what they are saying and that’s to mimic the way that real verbal tics happen,” said Cathy Wylie, president of the Tourette Syndrome Foundation of Canada. The automated tweets will come out with a link to surrenderyoursay.com so followers can find out more."
More on the event and how I'll be participating in it, after the break!

[LYRICS] [TV-Size] All Alone with You (piano version feat. TehIshter)
I'm probably really behind, but I'm pretty sure I posted "Rolling Star" during the New Years week. 8'D;;
SO HERE'S MY LATEST ONE~!!
All Alone with You
music/lyrics: ryo(supercell)
original vocals: EGOIST (Chelly)
piano arrangement: Ishter ( http://www.youtube.com/user/tehishter )
illustration: mizuna/mina @ Pixiv
english lyrics/vocals/mix: AELITA (me)
From: PSYCHO-PASS (ED2)
OMG THESE LYRICS NEED SO MUCH REVAMPING, LIKE, IDE-- OTL
So... the lyrics below are the proof-read ones... NOT the ones used in the video, because I was in a haste to sing this BECAUSE ISHTER-SAN'S PIANO IS JUST AMAZING LIKE OMG, GUYS * w *
So, the lyrics below will be used for the full version in March (actually HOPEFULLY 2 WEEKS FROM NOW, NO? * w *) and have been edited..... 3 times? yeah.. ; w;''
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR 5,300+ VIEWS SO FAR~!!
And the comments are all lovely, thank you so much! ; A; /// I'm glad I can still evoke emotion when I sing, as that was my goal with this cover.
I SHALL DO MY BEST IN THE FUTURE~! * ^*)999
------
LYRICS:
There can't be anyway I can love someone
I've been told I'm incapable of
And yet, I find myself wanting to be
so loved...
Even if the future stays the same
The same yesterday - there, always
There isn't anywhere that we can go to
We're stuck here, you and me
To dear God
Is it fine to ask where you have gone?
I guess there's no answer, huh?
That's always so...
oh...
That so..?
"Are You still here?"
"You'll never walk alone
I'll go on with you
and here I carry on
The sins that burden you.
And now as we walk along
a road that lacks a road
Together now...
Alone with you."
----
Thank you~! o w o ///

Goodbye 2012, Hello 2013~! o w o
THE WORLD DIDN'T END.
HA.
I TOLD YOU SO. 8'D
*bricked*
*ahem* Right... With another year passed, it's time to take a look back on what the past year was like, so that we can all see how much we've improved, as well as take note as to what still needs improvement.
My YouTube resolutions will be listed after the break~!
