Hi everyone, I hope you're all doing well!
Since it's my birthday, I'm using the occasion to make a quick update!πŸŽ‚

I'm looking for places on the internet where to properly post my art (something I'm trying to focus on more again since I've kind of abandoned it for around four years), so I'm trying Pixiv! Maybe I'll also try opening an Instagram account, but I wanted to avoid sites with "social media dynamic" as much as possible...

For now, I posted this drawing I had done during January and I'll try to archive every piece of art I've done in the past that I never properly uploaded, when I can.
And yes, I wish I could also focus on music related stuff, but for now all I can use is IbisPaint xD I'll upload other things when the time is right. At least I hope to get better at art! And also that you don't mind this type of content.

Here's my pixiv account if you want to visit it: www.pixiv.net/en/users/102905986

Stay tuned!

I owe you all an apology... (This is going to be a bit long)

Hello again, everyone! I know it's been quite a while. My last video recently turned a whole year since I uploaded it, it actually pains me to know that. I imagine a lot of you don't even remember my existence in the first place due to the little relevance that this channel has in the community, but maybe some of you might notice this is the longest it has remained inactive ever since I started it when I was 12 (and I mean, that's a lot).

I'm sure most of you didn't even notice this to begin with or simply didn't mind, and I fully understand that. My updating frequency has never been consistent after all. But some may wrongly correlate that to lack of care for the channel, because it's quite the opposite case. I've always tried my best to keep it somehow updated despite being a very busy student, since (as amateur and messy as it may look like) this is the one place where I archive and share my works on my interests and passion projects the most. What I want to state with this is the reason why I make such a fuss over this matter.

So, what is this all about? I'm writing this post just because I want to be transparent and address my absence lately with honesty. I want to let things be clear, just in case. If you want to know what happened, there's been some life circumstances since around the time I posted my last videos that badly affected my mental health, and it all caused me to be disconnected from music production and art (and most of my interests) for quite a while. Even when I wanted to, I couldn't bring myself to do much simply because of how I felt, since all of these works are directly related to whatever is going on in my head. Fortunately I'm doing fine now, but I have to say I still feel like I've fallen far behind the rest in regards to the quality and quantity my works should have by now.

I know some of you didn't want to hear all of this whining. This note as a whole may come as extremely selfish because you simply might not care about my personal stuff and only want me to talk about the content, which I understand. I just kind of treat this channel as if it were my informal personal blog too. Although maybe some of you can also identify with this, who knows?

But anyway, despite all of that, I need to acknowledge that a lot of what's happened is my fault and a result of my immaturity, and I'm really sorry because of that. I shouldn't have neglected myself and this channel the way I did. I'm trying to keep this place somehow alive with these small updates.

I can't tell you when my next video will be, sorry. I really wish I could post something before the end of this year but I don't think that's going to be possible. I could upload some old covers I've never posted too. I also really want to keep improving in all music production, tuning and visuals, but that also makes it more difficult for me to create something that is up to my increasing standards. I'm also still a little unstable and in a bit of a convoluted situation, still figuring out how everything is going to turn out, so I'm afraid I can't exactcly tell you what's coming next.

I can only thank you all for the great support you've always had towards my works even in my absence, especially when I only consider just a few that I posted to be actually good. I cannot stress enough how glad it makes me to know other people enjoy works of mine, and I really wish I could give you more. Please forgive me for being such a mess.

Anyway, if any of you took your valuable time to read this I really appreciate your dedication! I hope you're all doing well, and again, thank you!

PS: For the time have a happy Gumi I sketched just because I adore her ;v;

If "Inktober" can also mean grabbing a pen and making simple sketches to post during the month as a way of coming back online and recovering my channel step by step then I'm in!
Please be patient though... and sorry if this is a little unsettling.
Thank you for your understanding!
I hope you're all doing well.

πŸŽƒπŸŽƒHappy Halloween folks!!πŸŽƒπŸŽƒ
As you might have assumed from what I said in my last video, I actually had planned to upload a cover today. Yes, one with VY1V4 that I had worked on during spooky month. And I had almost finished it for today! But these weeks turned out to be full of exams and dead lines, and I hardly had time to even write this post in the first place. So I'll upload it as soon as I can!
Also, don't worry, it was nothing halloween-themed! It was just a horror song that you can listen to at any time of the year!
Hope you have a wonderful night (or day if it's already daytime where you live)! :D

PS: that gif isn't mine!

WHAT ON EARTH???
...
Well, I'm not going to waste time getting wordy, I'll say it directly: THANK YOU!!! :D πŸŽ‰

I know 3k subs is not considered that big nowadays, but I never thought this channel was going to go that far considering I never thought it was going to reach 1k subs in the first place xD


PS: Can't wait to upload the next original but I have so many things to do ;-;

Hello again! Today is my birthday and I'll use that as an excuse to clarify some things about the upcoming projects of this channel πŸŽ‚ :

First, about that song I told you I was woking on, it was delayed due to various reasons: I'm currently in a place and situation where I don't have the best acoustic insulation/equipment and it is really hard to find a moment when I can actually focus on the production of the track. That's why I've been uploading covers. So, as I know I'll still have free time during March, I decided to leave that project for when circumstances allow me to focus on it. Meanwhile, I'll continue with smaller projects like covers.

But that's not the only big project I have in mind. Remember my last song? It's not even been half a year since I uploaded it, but I'm already thinking on doing a remake/remaster of it. You might think that I'm crazy and that it's pointless to spend time on such thing, but I actually have my reasons to do so. It's kind of sad how one of the most important (for me) songs I've made ended up being the rushed crappy thing it is, and I'm not only talking about the PV, I'm talking about the song too. Some of you might love it the way it is, some of you might hate it, but the truth is it ended up being really far from what I wanted in the first place, and all of that beecause I (really) rushed it. I've always felt bad hearing the old first files of the song when it was just and idea without any mixing or mastering, because they transmit a completely different feeling from the finished version, and I came to the conclusion that I accidentally killed the essence of the original track in the process, and that's why I would really like to try to recreate it.

And you know what's ironic? That's exactly what was happening to this new song too. I was again mindlessly tryng to finish it as soon as possible in a situation where I just couldn't focus on it. And I realized that when I noticed I didn't have any motivation to continue it anymore and that I didn't even like how the final result was turning to be. It literally turned into work I didn't want to do, to upload a project I didn't like anymore. That's why I'm taking a rest from it for now...

Note: Please also have in mind that all the things I do in this channel are just a hobby and that I don't get paid from it or anything, so it only depends on my will to do things. (I just need to organize myself better)

Appart from all of that, the dynamic of this channel was always nonsense, so that's why I'm so thankful for all of you who support it! :) So hope you have a nice day!
