and as my life flashes before my eyes,
a memory stirs within me of that day,
the innocent tears which fell from your eyes
and the gentle hands which you dug into your skirt
now, as we meet again,
with a point of your finger, i realize
you knew i found it beautiful

Happy summer time! I hate this mix I wanna strangle it. Honestly it might be kind of bad. I was having trouble getting the volume right and balanced… And I think after you listen to it too much you start going “it’s too loud *turns it down* no it’s too soft never mind *turns it up* no it’s too loud *turns it d-“. So I’m kind of :/ about my mixing this time around. But I’ve already spent a lot of time with the mix and I’m starting to get an earache. So I figure it’s time to just post it and deal with it not being perfect mix wise. …TBH I only recently started taking mixing more seriously… I never had in the past because I figured even if my mixes were bad my vocals would show off enough to put that aside LOL
Anyway. Isn’t this such a happy song? Haha. God I LOVE this song. One of my favorite instrumentals ever created for a Vocaloid song. MikitoP does an amazing job at really transporting you right into the feeling of summer. I can’t think of any other Vocaloid songs that use steel drums and now I kinda wanna find more. Also it makes me wanna go to the beach! …If I ignore the lyrics.
Apparently this song was loosely inspired by the 1994 Japanese drama “Ningen Shikkaku”. Though instead of girls it’s a pair of men, where one of the boys who has a secret crush on the other but also complex feelings towards him, engages in/allows the bullying to happen towards him.
For the record the beginning section of the original is ambiguous as to who is saying it… Which kinda sounds weird in English so I wound up using “I” anyway. Since it’s my personal interpretation of the song with clues such as “if we’re able to love each other in the transparent world, then…” etc. lyrics that the singer followed her lost love into death and jumped in front of the train as well. …Only to find the girl she loved, now a ghost, knows the truth of her death.
If that’s not what you think, then just assume it’s a POV switch… From the girl who died at the beginning to the singer after.
Let’s go. This was technically my July upload so late August upload too LET’S GOOOOO (Hopefully. I have a song in mind but given how much of a perfectionist I am at everything IDK if I can do it. But I hope to see you then if I do!)
