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!
