Sometimes, Vocaloid songs get really fucking weird. This is one of those times. This producer in particular has a penchant for weirdness, and I really like that about him. I’ve covered several other songs by him, and this one didn’t disappoint. I actually had the earliest version of this cover hastily made in preparation for a trip to Boston, and I listened to it throughout my trip. However, when I came back, I realized that it could still be improved further, so I fixed up the VSQx a little more and came up with the version that you’re listening to now. I also made a Miki version and ended up really liking it, so I’ll be posting that to my Youtube channel later. For now, enjoy Iroha’s version!

This song contains themes of stalking. Not very R-18ish, but some people get jumpy at the mere sight of the word “stalker”. Just trying to cover my bases, people. Carry on if this doesn’t bother you.
I know a commenter on my video for 一途な片思い、実らせたい小さな幸せ。from forever ago asked me to do this with Sorahana Lua, but unfortunately, I’ve grown largely separate from UTAU largely due to the quality gap between it and Vocaloid (and from what I hear, even CeVio is of greater quality than UTAU). Past things aside, I really did want to do this song in the future, and I got my inspiration to do it when I heard how IA’s voice was handled in キミのことが好きでゴメンナサイ. I tried to at least replicate the changes in GEN, and I’m not sure how well I did. Apart from that, IA was one of the most interesting voice banks I’ve ever worked with. She has very good pronunciation and superb enunciation as well. That being said, some of her consonants are extended out a little, so for faster songs, you have to cut into VEL a little on the slower ones to match the faster ones. I do have a cover with IA planned where I had to do this, so I’ll let you know about that. Enjoy this cover for now!

Besides all such important matters in this world, oh, tell me
Why is it that we still can't share the secrets that we both keep?
The distance between our hearts is too big to be measured
This whole situation's just way too absurd
Chelsea Hotel's curtains have already started closing
Like Sid and Nancy, victims of a love that kept on growing
Just when I thought that I would get your heart in the end
Everything that I knew turned out to be just pretend
The more I know, the more it is killing me
Yet, I can't help but still be curious
These small quiet prayers, the same old tragic patterns
But this love I seek seems to be out of reach
The more I know, the more it is killing me
Yet, I can't help but still be curious
In this mess you put me in
My words just scatter when I try to tell you just how I feel
I look away and back at you, but still, nothing has changed now
My temperature's too high, this fever keeps on weighing me down
My throbbing headache from the low air pressure makes me doubt
This stationary front will ever go away
Even through a scope lens, I can't ever look in your eyes
A brutal, deadly trap like it was set by Bonnie and Clyde
Adrift radio waves, they keep emitting from my mind
I guess that it’s fine, guess it’s time that this fades out
The more I see, the more it's confusing me
Yet, I can't help but keep observing it
These thoughts in my head are spinning round and round
'Cause all that pride that you hold is troubling, you know?
The more I see, the more it's confusing me
Yet, I can't help but keep observing it
Scattering, till these complications have dissolved
But do I really want them to go?
This illness plaguing me, there's no way you could ever cure it
My health is getting worse every day
A fatal sweetness luring me, then knocking me down
But I don't want it any other way, so tell me why
The more I know, the more it is killing me
Still, that's not gonna keep me from learning
These small quiet prayers, the same old tragic patterns
But this love I seek seems to be out of reach
The more I know, the more it is killing me
Yet, I can't help but still be curious
In this mess you put me in
My words just scatter when I try to tell you just how I feel
So guess I’ll just pretend that this love isn’t real
Brief yandere warning here. This warning is short since this song is probably the lightest yandere song there is out there and probably the lightest yandere song that will ever be featured in this blog. There’s nothing explicit being described, and the UTAU I used here has nothing in their usage clause that forbids these kinds of works. If that stuff bothers you anyway, block the “yandere” tag on my blog. Anyway, onto commentary.
This, in my mind, is the perfect way to work themes like yandere in with class. The song sounds so cute and sweet, yet the themes are horrifying and creepy, but not so much so that the song has to be grotesque. On top of that, there’s a sweet EDM breakdown complete with a bass drop in the creepiest part in the song. I loved this song when I first heard it two weeks ago, and I knew that I had to make a cover of it. I actually had some reservations about even downloading Lua since I thought she sounded so much like Tei when I first heard samples of her voice, but doing this cover made me realize that that thought was very far from the truth. Lua actually sounds more like a mix of Tei and Mayu, retaining the clarity and crispness of Tei’s voice while also keeping the warmth of Mayu’s voice. Lua held well both in the calm and energetic parts of the song, and I was so impressed at how it turned out. In addition, mixing wasn’t all that bad even though the part with the 大好き spam was nightmarish to do. I hope what I did here is acceptable. Lua’s already lined up to appear in another cover that I’ve been working on, so expect to hear more of her in the future. Enjoy this cover, and watch your devices! You never know who might have accessed them last...
