Romance no Tochuu

It's been a while since I've last updated this blog. This time I decided to cover Romance no Tochuu by Juice=Juice. I originally wanted to cover this as soon as I got done with finals in order to be able to upload this before Yuka's graduation but wasn't able to get to it. But better late than never, right?

Life Update: May 2019

Despite my goal of updating twice a month, I have been quite busy with school as always so I haven't really gotten the chance. I can't believe it is already close to the end of the month. As I always say, time is just going by way too fast. So what have I been up to? Well, it is getting close to the end of spring term. This term has been a bit relaxing compared to the other terms. However, since the end of the term is getting close, I have some assignments due so that is getting a little stressful. Also, I have to start thinking of what I'll do after college. For now, I am thinking of just taking up any internships I can in order to get as much experience as possible. I am still a junior but my senior year for sure will just fly by so I am making sure that I have some sort of plan. Also, I have started to feel like I have been wasting my life again. This is the first time I've felt like this since high school. I have been late at everything from being able to getting my drivers license to going to things I have been wanting to go to such as a Hey! Say! JUMP concert. I still have never had a part time job while people around me had at least one or two and even starting an internship. I do blame myself for not taking action and believing whatever my parents had told me. Ever since I was a kid and up until I was 18, I never thought about just going for it. I always end up listening to what my parents told me which led me to think I had to wait until I got their approval. But on the bright side, at least I'm trying now compared to when I was in high school.

For the summer, I was thinking of either going to Japan World Heroes in Pasadena or the Hello! Project concert in Japan. I'm currently more leaning towards H!P but I regret not buying the plane tickets when they were cheaper. If I can't go in the summer, I'll try to aim for the year end concert.

Alive a life

It's been a while since I last uploaded a cover. So yesterday, I uploaded a cover of Alive a life by Rica Matsumoto. This song is one of my favorite songs from Kamen Rider. I recorded this pretty quick so there might be parts that aren't the best but I tried.

March

It is already March. February just went by so fast. These past few weeks has been quite stressful for me. I had to do two midterms which I did pretty well on both of them. This makes me feel like hard work does pay off so I will continue to work harder at school. Another stress factor is that I have to do a presentation for my Japanese class about a student we have been emailing from the partner university. I met my partner for the first time and realized that Japanese students can be quite quiet. I know it's not everyone but in general. I also did a conversation session with the other students. Since I am the one that helps them with their English, I was thinking of listening like I do with my partner from Taiwan but again, they were quiet as well. Though I can relate since I am quite reserved myself, it can be quite awkward. Anyways, I will definitely post some covers after this term ends so hope you look forward to that. I am actually very excited to record something new since it is a way to let out my stress.

Mayonaka no Shadow Boy

I posted this on SoundCloud almost two months ago but I forgot to share this on this blog! I have been wanting to re-record this to see if I improved or not throughout the years. This song was honestly pretty easy to record since it is super repetitive but if was a little low for me(which might be the reason why I raised the pitch when I recorded it the second time). Anyways, hope you enjoy!

February

I cannot believe that it is already February of 2019. Time really does go by so incredibly fast. So what have I been up to lately? Well this week is the 5th week of winter term which I cannot believe as well. I am currently taking five classes and I haven't been struggling to keep up as much compared to when I took the same amount of classes during my freshman year however keeping up with the readings has been hard like any other term but I have been trying.
During winter break, I went to Seattle for the third time this year. I went back in August twice for a day trip which was very hectic though I was happy to go again after 3 years. For this trip, we were able to stay at an actual hotel compared to the last two times where we were only there for a day and had to drive back home after only a few hours of exploring. It was pretty fun. I went to Round One to do some karaoke with my dad and brother and explored the mall there which was HUGE. I love going to malls in different states because there are some differences depending on which state you go to. However, we ended up rushing because my dad got worried about my cats so we weren't able to do much on the second day but it was still fun. To wrap this post up, I am thinking of doing a list of shows/movies I have been in to recently and shows/movies that I am looking forward to on my other blog so keep an eye for that.

Are you Happy?

After 5 months, I am back with a new cover. I am so glad that I finally have some time to record. This time, I have covered Morning Musume'18's Are you Happy? I have been obsessed with this song ever since it came out and it's probably one of my favorite H!P releases of this year. So I got really lazy with the graphic design so I know it's not the best. Lesson learned: always make the graphic design before recording the song rather than making it after.
