OK SO I DONT WANNA CALL THIS THE FINAL VERSION YET BECAUSE CEONN STILL HAS TO GET BACK TO ME XD! Ceonn is my mixer and I am waiting for him to get back to me atm, BUT I STILL wanted to have this done by @marcosatsu ‘s birthday cuz he’s honestly one of the coolest, most down to earth and sweet people I met. And just recently too! He’s seriously an awesome dude & I wish you the best today :) Happy Birthday Marcos! ♥♥♥

Mix: Ceonn & Manabingu
LYRICS:
(I gotta believe…)
I don’t wanna know if the truth disapoints me.
I don’t wanna know , ‘cause ignorance is bliss. I wonder…
Why? Why? Why? Why? Realizing I came too far
A premonition inside my head, I envision
The new beginning
I’ll open new roads following this intuition
I gotta believe!
(Turn it on!) So I’ll!
EXCITE! EXCITE! Raise the beat high!
EXCITE! EXCITE! Reach to the sky!
My heart levels up unaware
Dashing through, I’ll make it I swear
(Hey!) I’m on a mission right now!
(Hey!) I’m on a mission right now!
EXCITE! EXCITE! The answer is…
(One!) In only my hands…
(Two!) …life will continue…
(Three!) …I’ll live to the max! Yeah!
Didn’t wanna know …that dreaming is misleading
Didn’t wanna know …that I keep getting hurt for trying
Why? Why? Why? Why? And I feel that no one’s around
We all have one life to face ourselves on this trial
Hey, what’s the purpose?
Follow me. Let’s cross the bridge of truth and denial
I gotta believe!
I gotta believe… I gotta believe… I gotta believe!
(Turn it on!) So I’ll!
EXCITE! EXCITE! Raise the beat high!
EXCITE! EXCITE! Reach to the sky!
My heart levels up unaware
Dashing through, I’ll make it I swear
(Hey!) I’m on a mission right now!
(Hey!) I’m on a mission right now!
EXCITE! EXCITE! The answer is…
(One!) In only my hands …
(Two!) … a never-ending game…
(Three!) …Win? Lose? It’s all the same!
I may start out at zero but I can reach to infinity
I’ll light the universe with my divinity
Yeah no one can stop me! No one can stop me now!
So I’ll!
EXCITE! EXCITE! Raise the beat high!
EXCITE! EXCITE! Reach to the sky!
My heart levels up unaware
Dashing through, I’ll make it I swear
(Hey!) I’m on a mission right now!
(Hey!) I’m on a mission right now!
EXCITE! EXCITE! The answer is…
EXCITE! EXCITE! The answer is…
(One!) In only my hands…
(Two!) …life will continue…
(Three!) …I’ll live to the max! Yeah!
Hey guys! So It's finally done! The YT Idol-All-Stars competition finished and it was incredible! Seriously! Beyond words. I had a blast doing the finale with my buddy Ceonn. I still am in shock I won.The finale was a duet with Ceonn & since it was a dream for me to do this song at the finale, we made it into a duet!
I AM working on a solo version as well with a music video! So look forward to that! Thank you and please feel free to like, comment, subscribe & share with your friends! ♥

Since this is what I consider the “first draft” of the music video, I don’t mind posting it early here. XD Not that anyone proly cares. But yeah, this is the thing I turned in to the judges today (against all the odds from bad luck & whatnot!). At this point I’m just putting it up cuz I went through hell just to edit and put this together in two days (because horrid luck that I got the audio so late on the 9th) with approximately no sleep. I am definitely gonna make a better HD version with special effects by Crystal after YT Idol. I wasn’t AS fancy as I coulda been because they won’t judge me on the video, they judge me on singing anyway. Gonna work on the lyric vid to release publicly on my channel (after results). But yeah,the pressure has started to sink in. Phoebe dropped out so it’s me vs Kim & honestly, it’s anybody’s game. Anything can happen in this competition. I worked so hard for months so I decided to go big or go home XD! Hopefully my hard work paid off. And now I can move on to Anime Idol @ Metrocon & my other future song covers/videos afterwards. I’m happy with what I was able to accomplish & glad I learned how to be a better singer. I am really more nervous than I appear, shaking like a leaf but in the end, I think I did the best I possibly could & that’s what matters. So yeh. Thas all folks~

LYRICS:
(A night sky full of cries
hearts filled with lies
the contract–is it worth the price?
a soul pledged to the darkness
now I’ve lost it, I know I can kill
the truth exists beyond the Gate)
I’m shutting my eyes, but still hear the cries, my tears are falling everywhere
It’s thick in the air, this bloody despair, O crimson lifeline shed me bare
I don’t want anything anymore
(Emotions revealed as I turn around)
Flee this internal civil war
(Go bang, son of a gun)
As I’m drifting, Your heart is being thrown onto the pyre
Feelings are burning like fire, I wanna be quenched of all earthly desire
Even when the (nights are dark as black)
(There's no way in hell I'm turning back)
(Rescind the sin, I'm wearing thin, but can I still atone?)
Succumbing as a (weak insomniac)
(Wearing down my mind, now I’m a maniac)
I’m giving in, I’ll let it in and break me, but how far will I go?
The Sun will RISE!
Close my EYES!
I’m falling (Falling, falling)
Hold inside
Left howling in the shadows…
The thunder will crack, as rain hits the tracks, in an endless downpour evermore
I’m holding you close, my claws at your throat, though you’re bleeding out you’ve no remorse
I don’t need anything anymore
(No one else can take my place)
I don’t see the same as before
(I’ve been lost without a trace)
(I’m unwavering), swimming through your veins into your dreams
(I locked my heart long ago), but this passion deigns to intervene
Let me draw you (close with carnal cries), let your hands (get tangled up with mine)
Within this sin, we’ll sear it in, on this unholy road
Memories will (coalesce and shine, screaming out as we begin to toe the line)
I’m bearing down, I’ll live somehow, but I know, I can’t survive alone
(I feel it under my skin), but can I give you up so I can win?
(I can’t hold back)
(With (devil wings I’ll fly, even if it’s (through forsaken sky)
Rescind the sin, I let it in, I will never atone
I’ll tear you out till (all that’s left are lies)
Wearing down my mind, (insanity’s sublime)
I’m giving in, so it sinks in and takes me, I know how far I’ll go!
The sun will rise. Close your eyes
OK SO. TODAY I RECORDED ALL MY BACK VOCALS. IT WAS HARD.
As expected. But I’m glad cuz again, I would rather challenge myself than have an easy victory. I sang till literally (maybe) tasting some blood. (the very last chorus contains some gravel & I haven’t done this much gravel since I voiced Black*Star in Soul Eater abridged all those years ago XD! DAMN.
But that aside...ok FUNNY STORY. Ceonn had to leave and he asked me to harmonize with this line of his right? He did the notes ONCE. And asked me to repeat it. So I DID...BUT...I still had to record a BUNCH of other harmonies for the other chorus parts. SO I FORGOT WHAT THE ORIGINAL NOTES WERE.
BUT. I think this mishap happened for a reason BECAUSE AS I WAS MESSING AROUND I CREATED A BADASS HARMONY AND I CRIED REAL TEARS CUZ I COULDNT BELIEVE IT ACTUALLY FCKN WORKED. So to all young singers out there...ALWAYS EXPERIMENT HARMONIES! Be bold, be creative and innovative and the rewards will be AWESOME! ♥♥♥ Omygod, after hearing me and Ceonn together, I have a VERY GOOD feeling about how this will turn out ;W;! I feel like I’m gonna deliver the best performance I’ve ever given in YT Idol! I feel so proud and excited! GAH! Now tomorrow I will proably add cadence things and I’m gonna meet with waifu after work cuz she’s gonna be my special effects director of the project ^_^YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!
OK Finally after all that work TTwTT a week straight nonstop of vocal coaching, recording, being directed, blood sweat and tears I AM FINALLY DONZO with this entry for the Foreign Language Theme of YT Idol All-Stars! I wanna thank everyone who supported me all the way. Thank you to Ceonn who was my rock throughout this whole dang thing and wouldn’t let me give up even for a second. And I am always gonna be proud of this no matter what the results because I sang this song with all my heart because One Punch Man is honestly one of the few things left that always cheers me up whenever I have a depression/anxiety relapse. This show is so special to me. And I wanted to sing the fan-made OP by Shindehai because it’s a little nod to ONE who started off as just a webcomic artist. I love ONE’s work & will continue to support him and Murata-sensei ^^! Okie dokes! Enjoy!

LYRICS: (under more)
No saikou no hero desu ONE PUNCH MAN FOREVER!
Kore ga saiga no machidesu
Kare no atama ni wa ke ga arimasen
POWAH a kare no te ni aru
One panchi de kare wa akuma to tatakau
Kare wa hero dearuga, daremoshiranai
Sokode kare wa, yozora ni tobu
Kare wa sei jyaku o shihai
FLY AWAY kare wa hitoridearu, Sora ni
Kare wa watashitachi no saikou no hero desu
One Punch Man Forever!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The strongest of all heroes, One Punch Man Forever!
Residing in the last town
Not a hair on his head
He holds the power in his hands
Fighting demons with but one punch
He is a hero, but no one knows
There he flies, towards the night sky
Ruling over the silence
FLY AWAY! In solitude towrds the sky
He is our strongest hero
One Punch Man Forever!
