Here’s a new song that’s kind of chiptune-sounding. I made it in order to cheer on Tone Rion, who hasn’t gotten all that many songs. Please enjoy.

Happy Miku day everyone! I hope those of you who watched the two VOCALOID concerts enjoyed them!
In celebration for today and the three days leading up to it, I decided to polish up some of my songs and do a quadruple release! As some of you may know, I apparently won the Vocalekt Visions 2nd remix contest with a happy hardcore remix of their GUMI track, Overseas Travels. I decided to fix up my entry and uploaded an extended remix version!
I’ve also fixed up the singing in Sing Any Song, since that was kind of too high pitched, and fixed up the mix as well. Recently, I put two new songs on Nico, a trance song with the new VOCALOID3 IA -ARIA ON THE PLANETES- and a denpa happy hardcore song with Miku using VOCALOID3.

Merry Christmas everyone! I tried my hand at making a song using only the hirajoshi pentatonic scale.

I decided to try my hand at Japanese technopop and made a new VOCALOID song. Originally I kind of wanted to enter the 3rd DIVA Arcade song contest, where you could get your song into DIVA Arcade if it won. However, this time they made it that you had to also make a music video for it. Since I had no time to do that, I decided to just upload the song for now. Please have a listen if you got a chance.

Oh yeah, I also entered Vocalekt Visions‘ second remix contest, where I attempted to make a happy hardcore version of their GUMI song, Overseas Travels. If you like, you can take a look at their remix contest website.

Wow, I guess I finally had a chance to write up a post about the 11/11/11 song I made on the iPad and released on Nico Nico Douga. In the anime (and visual novel) CLANNAD, the lead heroine Nagisa had a penchant for dango, little rice flour balls. In the show (and game), dango were also drawn with cute little eyes and in Japan, people had started using ⑪ to represent them. Hence, I decided to treat 11/11/11 as “dango day” and made a Nagisa-themed arrangement of the background music from CLANNAD. I’d also like to take the chance to explain about my new iPad workflow a bit more and what I learned along the way.

They held viewings of the Mikupa Sapporo concert at GV Plaza in Singapore yesterday. Since I haven’t seen it yet, I decided to go check it out.

Recently, I received an iPad2 as a present from a great friend of mine (thanks for the awesome gift!), so I’ve had a chance to try out several music-making apps. My general impression is that some of these apps are good, but overall the collection of apps I found are just borderline mature enough for me to use for music production. Here are my thoughts about each of the apps I’ve tried, how much I paid and what I thought were good points and bad points about them. I’ve added some audio samples as well.

Hey, it’s Miku’s birthday today! Happy birthday!
And in celebration, I’ve finished a new song. This was started a year ago, and I had entered a short version for one of the Project DIVA Arcade contests. Now the full version is done!

Also looking forward to the MIKUNOPOLIS Blu-Ray that got announced today.
Oh, and I also had lots of fun at the 2011 J-Pop Summit Festival!
