hey! I dont mean to pry and i'm sure you've got your hands full with lots and lots (and lots and lots) of stuff, but i wanted to ask whether you planned on covering Akaito/Red Thread by mikitoP? I loved your Yonjuunana cover SO MUCH and to this day it left me heartbroken and speechless how good it was, so it'd be so awesome if you'd cover Akaito too! ; w ; i totally understand if you dont want that for whatever reason! thanks though in advance!! ♥ ♥

Thanks anon I'm glad you liked it so much! I'll look into the song again as I don't actually remember what it sounds like, and see whether I fancy it or not.

sm27056499 song suggestion :)

Thanks, anon!

[rokkiroado]

sm15231683 can you do an english cover of this song please? :)

Thank you for the suggestion!

hey, so I noticed you've translated some video titles on Nicovideo lately; if it's no problem, can you tag the videos as "description_still_not_translated"?

RHello, non! I actually don’t have any activity on NND besides watching videos, a very lovely person who goes by Raine does all my uploading for me there, so you could ask her directly, if you like. Her twitter is @ Raine_chan 

Sorry for any confusion!

has any of your covers been affected by that YT red thingie? :c

Yeah, about ten or so of them have, most of which I’m not hugely bothered by because some are quite old, but Bad End Night has had a claim, which no doubt means the rest of the series will as well, and we wanted to upload Crazy Night on Halloween actually… Now that it’ll likely be blocked, I gave our mixer more time to finish it, so it should be up in a week or two. We’ll see how long it lasts. (’: Thanks, youtube.

can you sing krypt creeper's "Love" or another song by them? c:

it might take a while, but i will be covering something of krypt’s soon!

[rokkiroado]

have you heard of kobasolo? I'd love to see/hear you two collab on something together~

i haven’t! for messages and asks like these, if you could include a link to the person’s channel, i’d really appreciate it -- i always love discovering new voices i haven’t heard before! <3

[rokkiroado]

Hi I just wanted to say that you have such a beautiful voice and your so talented and I can't wait to hear more from you! ( ´ ▽ ` )ﾉ

Aw thanks so much anon! 💖

[rokkiroado]

are you & kura/chishio going to duet more oster project? owo i think that one knight/medieval song you two covered has a sequel/companion/side-whatever-you-wanna-call-it song as well :3

We actually recently did another duet, it's up on his channel right now if you haven't seen it yet! I'm on mobile so linking is difficult, sorry!!Hopefully we'll duet knight of letzel (I think?? Something like that;;) one day! Or some other oster songs (:

What's your honest opinion about singers using Patreon?

If a singer/recording artist makes cover songs, and fully creates their own backing tracks, arranges, records, basically does everything themselves, then I think using Patreon is fine, I think it technically works within the laws as long as you’ve purchased licenses for selling your music. 

If that person does some singing on the original backing tracks then no, I think it’s completely out of order. You’re asking people to give  you money for being a karaoke act that steals other peoples work, and there are copyright laws for this reason. 

It’s the same as getting verified on Youtube, and getting paid revenue, when all you sing is covers using other peoples’ backing tracks, i.e. the vocaloid area. Making money off other artists’ work that you’ve almost undoubtedly not asked permission for.

can you post the lyrics to your oremono cover please :3

just remembered this myself and added them to the video description! enjoy!

[rokkiroado]

What is one song or song project from Vocaloid/Anime/Video Games that you absolutely refuse to do?

most of the kagepro songs because they’re shit. some are great, and i’ve covered them, but the series for me is a series of minor successes and complete failure. most bandwagon songs end up putting me off too i.e. unravel.

you do art sometimes too right? you should participate in this as well if you have etime :3

i think occasionalsubs mentioned it on his tumblr/took a screenshot, it was basically a tweet that said "homo kimoi"

Throwback to a tweet I answered a long time ago. Should have answered this a while back too, I'm really sorry!Tumblr is very quick to jump on someone for being racist or homophobic or ableist or anything else without really knowing any context or anything about the situation. What you have to remember is Japan has a very different mindset towards LGBT minorities, very different to the thankfully ever more accepting western views. This isn't me saying 'homos are gross' is ok to say, because it really isn't, but I also don't want to condemn a person from a culture that I don't know enough about socially to understand their situation. I wish a lot of tumblr and other parts of the net could take a step back and realise that their experiences and social culture are not applicable to the rest of the world.

[rokkiroado]

you probably can't use the original vid, but I'd love to hear you sing Me!Me!Me! lol

I've wondered if I should! It's a consideration 💖💕

[rokkiroado]

i loved your comet cover, you should do stronger than you w/ the peridot rap someone did on tumblr :3

Sure maybe one day! I might be misremembering but I have no idea/recollection of the peridot rap so you'd have to point me in the right direction!
