Taiki Bansei

So this time, I decided to cover Taiki Bansei by ANGERME as an entry for the ANGERMEXICO contest. I was a bit hesitant to enter this since I don't plan on going to the concert in Mexico but I saw some people from different places enter so that is what I did. By recording this, I have officially learned why I don't record any live covers anymore. One reason is because since I can never find the tripod, I have to either stack up books or put my camera in an angle that I am not the most satisfied with. Also, I did not realize the camera was out of focus when I first recorded this so I had to re-record it along with a new recording since I wasn't satisfied with it. Anyways, hope you enjoy!

Dream Last Train

This time I have decided to sing Dream Last Train by Triplet. It is not my best cover and I feel like it could've been better but I tried. I had some trouble recording this. First, I did not know why the instrumental track kept on slowing down during the second chorus. Then, I figured out that it was on warp mode.

July

First of all, it is already July. It feels like summer break just started a week ago but it's already been about 2-3 weeks. So this summer, I have been going to school in order to finish off some bac core credits. Since the class I am taking is required to be taken on campus, I have been going to school 4 times a week. The lectures for that class is honestly quite boring but the class itself is interesting.
As for new videos, my goal is to get 2 on YouTube and 2 on SoundCloud over the summer. Usually, I end up being really busy or lazy which prevents me from doing this. But this year, I will try my best to update more.

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.
