:: "All the Same" 一样一样 (Yīyàng Yīyàng)

Stunning song with a fantastic MV.

Like changing the pot of a plant The dirt's the same, it's still just that little bit Like changing the wrapper to a piece of candy The taste's the same, it's still that same bit

Those who idolize you Still turn in circles around you But those you don’t care about Still live on overdrafted time

You say people are all the same, they're not special In a pile, each one sui generis The same world, the same feelings Each mechanically going through the story of life

Like a band that's changed a member The great songs are still the same Like a remade movie The classics are still the same

I want to cross the gorge Even though I've done it a hundred thousand times before It's not quite what you'd thought You still end up at the same place you started

You say people are all the same, they're not special In a pile, each one sui generis The same world, the same feelings Every rise, fall, feast, famine following the sun and moon  

Please don't say that nothing interests you Just look how everyone cheers Each one wants to show their face, each one wants to change Only we can't give them all the same opportunities

"Working in any industry, you must be mentally prepared to find solace in loneliness." "To be honest, everyone has worked hard; I haven’t necessarily worked any less than they have. " "Even though the life they've chosen to live is not the same, every person has different kinds of choices." "How could every face look the same? You're the one who needs to look at people's faces closer!" "To those who received gold medals, I have to ask: how many of you can actually persist in this field of study?"

I want to have -- more friends I want to become - a smarter person I want to possess - more wealth I don’t want - to be forgotten I still haven’t - climbed to the top

They all say people are all the same, they're not special In a pile, each one sui generis The same world, the same feelings Every rise, fall, feast, famine following the sun and moon  

Please don't say that nothing interests you Just look how everyone cheers Each one wants to show their face, each one wants to change Only we can't give them all The same opportunities

:: "A Wanderer" 一人行者 (Yīrén Xíngzhě)

The video is by my friend, alterist64 - check out his channel!

Hey ya - hey ya - hey ya - hey ya Hey ya - hey ya - hey ya - hey ya Hey ya Hey, friends You can’t sleep either? You’re troubled, too? Come sing with me, talk for a while

Like a lonely traveller Whose life is a dust-blown road Yet still believes that on the path ahead Lies a flower blooming for me

Forgive me for never understanding the difference between "strong" and "stubborn" Forgive me for always looking towards the unending distance In the morning light the road is calling For my bags and my guitar Forgive me for not staying I’ve already left Forgive me Like a lonely traveller Whose life is a dusty, windblown road Yet still looks to the path ahead

Could be I don't really listen Could be I should have stopped long ago But I guess it's not possible Yappari muri deshita (I guess it's impossible)

Like a lonely traveller Lying to myself, that I’m not afraid Let me believe again that this time Tomorrow might come after all

Forgive me for never understanding the difference between "strong" and "stubborn" Forgive me for always looking towards the unending distance In the morning light the road is calling For my bags and my guitar Forgive me for not staying I’ve already left Forgive me Like a lonely traveller Whose life is a dusty, windblown road Yet still looks to the path ahead

Forgive me Like a lonely traveller (I can never tell the difference) This journey is a dusty, windblown road ("Strong" and "stubborn" - forgive me) Keep stubbornly looking to the distance (I'm always looking) (Unending distance) Stubbornly looking to the distance (In the morning light the road calls) Like a lonely traveller (My bags) So many times this life has been like dust and wind (And my guitar) Stubbornly looking to the distance

:: GRAVITY

The best part of this song is how half of the comments are just people asking or explaining what “GC” means. For the record, it's “ground control.” 

Ground control, can you hear me?

Ground control, can you hear me?

(x2)

Whose dreams do we rise for? Whose orbit do we fly along? I gazed at the coordinates of the planets I missed the sigh of the comets

Once again I say goodbye to my parent body Once again the umbilical cord is cut Parting with a burnt out heart I've lost gravity

Ground control, can you hear me? Ground control, can you hear me?

Accelerating to the next solar system Accelerating far away from the sun Forget how to speak, forget how to cry Can you learn how to walk after letting go?

Accelerate to the edge of the endless sky Waiting for a strange message Listening with closed eyes This crying, whose echo is it?

Floating, become drawn to the void Floating, pulled by fate Forget how to breathe, forget yourself Can acceptance relieve the pain?

When I met With my star Falling into her arms, I found My gravity

Ground control, can you hear me? Ground control, can you hear me?

The sounds of the summer cicadas I once knew The cawing of autumn crows I couldn't remember The faraway fireflies I've seen Seem like the summers of my childhood

Intoxicated by the magnificence of fireworks Without feeling the Milky Way is flowing away Leaving only silence

Accelerating to the next galaxy Accelerating far away from the Milky Way Forget how to speak, forget how to cry Can you learn how to walk after letting go?

Accelerate to the edge of the endless sky Calling to a strange life Listening with closed eyes Hoping for a familiar sound

Floating, become drawn to the void Floating, pulled by fate Forget how to breathe, forget yourself Forget the point of moving forwards

When I met With my star And then fell into her arms, I found My gravity

My gravity

Arriving at the end of this journey What kind of trail should I have left behind? If my scattered pieces are lost in the starry universe Who'll regret it, who'll remember Which constellation can show me where to go?

Accelerating to unknown galaxies Accelerating far from any dream Forget your body, forget memory Devoted to this dazzling halo

Accelerating to the edge of darkness Seeing the limits of perception Listening with closed eyes I heard the voice of my hometown

Floating, become drawn to the void Floating, pulled by time Look back once again to see an ocean of stars overflowing Leaving behind my last breath of air

Is this really my gravity?

My gravity

:: Master of Yin and Yang "Yīnyáng Xiānshēng" (阴阳先生)

This song heavily relies on references to Chinese folk religion and reincarnation, as well as literary vocabulary, which doesn’t translate well at all. So, um, imagine it.

[[onscreen: Fortuneteller: Yan He Fortunetellee: Luo Tianyi]]

My friend Please stop by here a bit There is an omen upon you Don't be scared Let me see your hand

Utter nonsense Peddling me snake oil This is nothing but a hoax It's funny Soon the police will be on you

Forgive me, but I believe At night you can't sleep You have one nightmare Every night What's hiding beside your bed?

Dumbstruck Back soaked in a cold sweat He's completely right I pray, Please save me

I am never wrong As for solving your problems, Yin and yang are in my heart And surround the world

A lifetime of fortune-telling Only blind to my own fate [i.e. fortune-tellers don’t know their own fortune] Your wealth and glory are in me My life and destiny are in heaven

Our meeting was fated Here is something to protect you Seeing your misfortune Could it be You've commited crimes in a past life?

Well, in the past A few things might have happened because of me I escaped it all but I couldn't escape at all Heaven willing, Is it too late now?

Karma is difficult to balance Reincarnation is beyond our understanding I'll give you some medicine A little bit But it can save your life

It's getting late I cannot repay your kindness That time has yet to come Goodbye We will meet again

I am never wrong As for solving your problems, Yin and yang are in my heart And surround the world

A lifetime of fortune-telling Only blind to my own fate Your wealth and glory are in me My life and destiny are in heaven

I am never wrong As for solving your problems, Yin and yang are in my heart And surround the world

A lifetime of fortune-telling Only blind to my own fate Your wealth and glory are in me My life and destiny are in heaven

:: "Ingrown" 向内生长 (Xiàng nèi shēngzhǎng)

Her fingers all grow facing inwards Until her palms are drenched with blood And no one told her bones not to creak Biting, licking, chewing, and swallowing So look, this is but a farce Until the end comes no one may breathe a sigh Only Fate is still shocked and disbelieving Really sadness has long since died

Blowing wind shifts her curtains Such an utterly whole shell Her hand stroking a gilded book cover Prickling pain spreads like a shadow Who is singing in the arteries? Cry upon cry resounds through the heart After breaking through the barriers Is there nothing left but the original sin?

The throat and nose contract Suffocation is already unavoidable In order to get away from this world Performing, no matter how lowly The ground is coated in ashen Stomach acid just like vomit Corroded the remnants of tears And forged her entirety

Her fingers all grow facing inwards Until her palms are drenched with blood And no one told bones not to creak Biting, licking, chewing, and swallowing So look, this is but a farce Until the end comes no one may breathe a sigh Only Fate is still shocked and disbelieving Really sadness has long since died

Strip open gray skin Displaying black flesh Bringing lips to suck Tasting incomparably sweet Whispering his words Saliva hangs off the walls of his throat Pressing down tightly on her chest Heart, don't you dare act up

The gums are the first to rot The taste of rust fills the mouth And the tongue shrinks into the throat Losing all feeling The ground is ash-white Like regurgitated stomach acid Corroded the remnants of tears And forged her entirety

Her eyes all grow facing inwards Until her eye sockets are drenched with blood And no one told veins not to creak Biting, licking, chewing, and swallowing So only in this way can we see the nerves interlace Understanding why I was always so lonely Only Fate is still shocked and disbelieving Really, redemption has long since been freed

Her two feet grow facing inwards Her hipbones grow facing inwards Her shoulders grow facing inwards Her heart grows facing inwards

Her hair all grows facing inwards Until the strands are soaked with brains Only in this way can she no longer be lost Not a single decision is absurd So look, this is but a farce Until the end comes no one may breathe a sigh Only Fate is still shocked and disbelieving Really sadness has long since died

:: "Youth with Fading Dreams" 梦想消逝的青年 (Mèngxiǎng Xiāoshì de Qīngnián)

I really, really like this song. It was one of the songs that got me into Chinese vocaloid, in fact, and I think it was the first one I translated.

Clutching already-stale potato chips in one hand I sit alone in front of a computer with nothing to do Think back to a scene from yesterday's soap opera Day after day, I'm just waiting to get over with today Can I still remember what I once pursued? Whether or not I've gotten there at all?

Open up grade school work books to my old scribblings With finger pointed, whisper to myself the writing below

Back in grade school, ah, everything was possible Scientist, doctor, teacher, police officer, boss, astronaut When middle school started, it was saving the world Then I switched to wanting the power to stop time and freeze the world in place When high school began, I got a little more mature Just study hard, then get into that dream college After college, to find a job to make ends meet Now what am I trying to do?

Once the playground becomes a skyscraper Dreams scattered on paper The words slowly fade into yellowing pages Nothing's been done Tomorrow's gonna be another repeat of today, right? Which way's better? Nothing's better than staying still

Talking about anime with friends and classmates Some wanted to immigrate, some had already gotten through postgrad Looking at the direction of their future And then unimportant me, who hates my work I figure then I can't handle it Family pressure, and how among my friends I can't fit in Whether it's in two or three dimensions I'm powerless listening to flying insults

Can't do anything, won't do anything Watch with eyes wide open but opportunity and timing never clicked Already past my sell-by date, relatives line up to greet me Maybe finding a spouse to live my life with is the only correct path Dabble in interests and hobbies, not one enough to live off Anything that takes that much effort is for nothing in the end Then I just take up those stacks of files And go out on the highway to make a few more sales

The dreams I set up have been tossed in the trash The crematorium of reality With your spirit incinerated, you can only give up I'm already used to pain Fall again and slowly crawl to the center Mortals have no wings, no way to know flight

Open up a book from that time to feel those emotions again My childish handwriting brings me Back to a time when my imagination flew through the heavens I want to put my footprints all over the sky and sea The world is so unstable - sooner or later it'll need saving It's agreed, we have to let everyone love music and art I've woken up from this dream, the question has no answer

:: "Song of Insanity" 神经病之歌 (Shénjīngbìng zhī Gē)

Another corny ableist song. On a lighter note, yes the video was written on toilet paper.

One day I had nothing to do So I let Yan He tell me a joke And she opened her mouth, and before she started talking I began laughing to myself

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

Really, I don't laugh too easily My jokes* are too fucking awesome Finish saying them, breath in deep and look back at Tianyi

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha Ya-hahahaha... Ha! Hahahahahahahahahahahahaha Yaha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha Yaha ha ha ha ha ha ha

Then we translated it Turned it into a Japanese joke Told it to our friends and listened to them laugh

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha

When people hear this joke They have to tell it to their friends Then tell a friend of a friend and friend of a friend of a friend Then tell a friend of a friend of a friend of a friend of a friend of a friend of a friend of a friend of a friend One person hears and tells another We already don't know what it means But everyone laughs at it anyways

:: "Haven't Taken My Medicine Today" 今天没吃药 (Jīntiān Méi Chī Yào)

This song is sort of a yandere-ish thing. There’s this sort-of meme in certain Chinese circles of, like, a cute anime girl who is ka-raaazy when she doesn’t take her meds. -_-

Get up bright and early Sun is shining in the sky Lift my head, look at the clock Crap, I'm already late

Lift my legs and get ready to run Suddenly realize I haven't had my medicine Agh, oh well, Work comes first

Since I haven't had my medicine I feel I'm a bit moe-! moe! [[the original line, “萌萌哒” is a yandere thing combined with the "moe" meaning]] Get off work and come back home Go to bed right away

Sky darkens Night deepens

Listen children After dark you must go home At night it's very dangerous outside (as night falls) Careful, you might get-

I'm the cheerful nighttime god Wandering about this little town Cradling the most guilty among you Remember to lock your doors

As you walk at midnight, don't look back He'll be right behind you If you're woken up in the night Never ever turn on the light (don't turn on the light) Aaah...

Punishing the filthy souls Rewarding the clean Ah Come with me and find happiness Don't forget to bring the kids

The night disperses Goodbye, everyone

A brand-new morning Gotta work hard again today Can't find my medicine Look all over - nothing

I don't feel quite right Why's my body feel so tired Better not stay up late Go to bed early tonight

The world sinks into dark shadow Now is my time Anyone who cannot sleep Come and rave with me

If you're not asleep yet Never ever let him find you Tonight this happiness is contagious Look at my face (can't look)

Last night, had a nightmare Feels like my body's about to fall apart I'm just way too tired Better take time off

This wild little town is so happy There's still one person left - it's me

Two days, haven't taken my medicine Body's feeling kinda awful Who's talki-

Now that the story's over I beg you to remember Take your medicine on time

:: "Opium Poppy Crown" 罂粟花冠 (Yīngsù Huāguān)

This song is part of a series. It’s weird how fake languages in vocaloid always sound the same.

I give to you profound loneliness I give to you unparalleled happiness

I believe loneliness is an inescapable fate I believe language is a machine for thought destruction I believe communication is a blind and ruthless revelation We all close our eyes to guess I believe loneliness will soon force my heart's door open I believe language will soon inspire my heavy love I believe communication will soon allow me to qualify To be beside him, forever in peace

She wears an opium poppy crown upon her head Tightly encircling those violated thoughts As if she too was once silenced by love Seeking faith beyond the five senses She wears an opium poppy crown upon her head The instant she wore it she was declared dead Despair will never come from heaven without Unless you have breathed the scent of Hell

I believe acceptance is an obligation for survival I believe creation comes from happiness from deep within I believe meaning is the truth of unending change It's the most beautiful thing

I believe acceptance will lay out the path before me I believe creation will decide where my heart belongs I believe meanings fade but never disappear Quietly awaiting the prophecy of its rebirth

She wears an opium poppy crown upon her head Piercing deep through spurned longing Doors ajar revealing a streak of light Mingled with distant holy singing She wears an opium poppy crown upon her head The instant she wore it she was declared dead Retribution will never come from heaven without reason Unless you have breathed the scent of Hell

I give to you the right to live I had thought you would cherish her So I gave to you vows profound I had hoped you would love her Abandoned freedom To you, my deepest love Abandon your authentic self To you, whom I loathe most Witness this object of empirical certainty To you, my deepest love Is such a pathetic person To you, whom I loathe most

Her hair all grows facing inwards Until drenched strands soak the brains Only in this way can she no longer be lost Not a single decision is absurd So look, this is but a farce Until the end comes no one may breathe a sigh Only Fate is still shocked and disbelieving Really sadness has long since died

She wears an opium poppy crown upon her head Piercing deep through spurned longing Doors ajar reveal a streak of light Mingled with distant holy singing She wears an opium poppy crown upon her head The instant she wore it she was declared dead Retribution will never come from heaven without reason Unless you have breathed the scent of Hell

She wears an opium poppy crown upon her head Remind her time and time again not to yield That sadness with nothing to cling onto Brewed into this honey-sweet fragrance She wears an opium poppy crown upon her head The instant she wore it she was declared dead Rationality will never come from heaven without reason Unless you have breathed the scent of opium poppies

:: "Seattle Story II" Seattle物语 II (Seattle Wùyǔ II)

The hotly-anticipated sequel to Seattle物语!

When we departed we faced the sunrise; now we're arriving with the sunset Sitting in the car all day, you must be really tired, right? "I heard this restaurant's not bad," you very happily said to me Looks like the falling rain hasn't stopped your appetite either

Warm, damp breezes blow over this busy harbor Welcoming nighttime settles into every corner of the streets You suddenly pulled at my hand, and I was at a loss for words Ba-dump ba-dump, my heartbeat picked up speed

In the candlelight your tender smile is the most beautiful landscape I've ever seen I hope that this moment lasts longer, even if time has to stop I'll do anything for you; I will go through hell and high water To bring you happiness, to give you joy

When you wake up, it's noon, though yesterday we'd planned to watch the sunrise again Facing your soundly sleeping face, I wrote down this song "Why didn't you wake me up sooner?" you pouted at me "Now I'm really hungry - let's eat and then talk"

Warm, damp breezes blow over this busy harbor Welcoming nighttime settles into every corner of the streets You suddenly pulled at my hand, and I was at a loss for words All I can feel is your temperature

In the candlelight your tender smile is the most beautiful landscape I've ever seen I hope that this moment lasts longer, even if time has to stop I'll do anything for you; I will go through hell and high water To bring you happiness, to give you joy Thank you for always being at my side

In the candlelight your tender smile is the most beautiful landscape I've ever seen I hope that this moment lasts longer, even if time has to stop I'll do anything for you; I will go through hell and high water To bring you happiness, to give you joy Thank you for always being at my side

:: "Rampage of Monsters" 怪物大暴走 (Guàiwù Dà Bàozǒu)

Humans Outside the sky's already Quite dark How come you're not In bed yet Who are you thinking of

Who do you hate Guess and see Who am I Late night Doesn't that belong to your Time

Besides that there are matters (being) staged Don't scream (can't hear) Listen to my cries Don't blink Look carefully

Humans, I'll tell you a secret There are some Unclean Things

Under the bed In the walls In the elevator In the bathroom Tonight Come and join our party Enjoy this difficult existence

Go invade Go commit crimes Go slaughter Go destroy When there's a full moon in the deep night Monsters Rampage Careful of their roar

We want to be free Clean up the dirt of this world Divine vengeance Obey my orders and together Occupy this earth Humans Open your eyes and look beside you This world is very dangerous

Deceiving Betraying Confusing Decaying We Have borne this world's madness Felt this world's endless despair

Traumatized Exterminated Interred Obliviated Now Say goodbye to your loved ones Witness all you know

Ripped apart Extinguished Terminated Rewritten Come, come This is your last chance

Sign this contract with us (Give up your heart and big head turn you into zombies) When there's a full moon in the deep night Monster Rampage

Careful of their roar We want to be free Clean up the dirt of this world Divine vengeance Obey my orders and together Occupy this earth

Tonight Come and join our party Enjoy this difficult existence

Go invade Go commit crimes Go slaughter Go destroy Now Say goodbye to your loved ones Witness all you know

Ripped apart Extinguished Terminated Rewritten When there's a full moon in the deep night Monsters Rampage

Careful of their roar We want to be free Clean up the dirt of this world Divine vengeance Obey my orders and together Occupy this earth

:: "Omamori" 御守 (Yù Shǒu)

An omamori (sometimes translated as “amulet” or “talisman”) is a small charm sold at Japanese religious sites like shrines, dedicated to some Shinto or Buddhist figure. It’s often used as a gift to show that you wish someone well.

So this is loneliness  Surrounded by velvet pillows Holding them tight, but still empty He's in every corner of my wistful thoughts Although I've never wondered why that was

There's a thorn that feels like it's been stuck in my chest The courage from my unrequited love is enough to breathe for a long time This omamori is what I rest my love on, a dream like a bubble After I wake up, it'll hurt A fall like a meteor's - that beautiful time goes by in a flash After expiration, don't wait; it just might go missing

So this is loneliness Surrounded by velvet pillows Holding them tight, but still empty He's in every corner of my wistful thoughts Although I've never wondered why that was

There's a thorn that feels like it's been stuck in my chest The courage from my unrequited love is enough to breathe for a long time This omamori is what I rest my love on, a dream like a bubble After I wake up, it'll hurt A fall like a meteor's - that beautiful time goes by in a flash In the end it just might-

This omamori is what I rest my love on, a dream like a bubble After I wake up, it'll hurt I'm trapped by the symptoms of my unrequited love Who should I tell?

YH: The virtual singer. [ONSCREEN: Sings very nicely.] LTY: Yep. YH: Occasional crosstalk comedian. [ONSCREEN: Crosstalk is alright.] LTY: Heh, yeah. YH: They might not know me as much. LTY: You’re so modest. YH: [Teacherly] Yan He. [ONSCREEN: Yan He [with pinyin, like a vocab word]] LTY: Hm? YH: THE FAMOUS MUSICIAN,  PERFORMER, ARTIST! [ONSCREEN: [ditto, in red, with a yellow halo] LTY: Does your family know you’re saying this delusional nonsense?  [original word was “chuunibyou”] YH: You saying I’m delusional? LTY: Then how come I’m just a singer, but you’re a FAMOUS (delusional) MUSICIAN? Famous musician, who ever said that? [ONSCREEN: [read left to right] RIGHT: Luo Tianyi = singer LEFT: Yan He = Famous delusional Musician] YH: Don’t forget performer. [ONSCREEN: ^performer] LTY: Alright, alright, alright. What talent do you even have? [ONSCREEN: Challenge accepted] YH: Well! Just watch, in a couple moments you’ll call me an artist. LTY: Yeah, OK. YH: I’m not just bragging! Out of all the Chinese vocaloids, I’m definitely number one or two. [ONSCREEN: TOP: number one BOTTOM: number two] LTY: You honestly aren’t bragging, before Xin Hua there were only two Chinese vocaloids. [ONSCREEN: TOP: emotionless BOTTOM: it ended up being true] LTY: And my number of videos is a little higher than yours. So you’re not number one - guess you’re number two. YH: Well now you’re just being mean! LTY: Then show me what exactly you can do! YH: Fine! Just say anything and you’ll see! LTY: Heey, you’re that confident? [ONSCREEN: already made up her mind] YH: Of course! LTY: Alright then! If you’re a musician, sing me a song! What is it? YH: Hey, Luo Tianyi, do you look down on me? LTY: Since when do I look down on you? YH: All we do all day is sing. We finally do a crosstalk, have a conversation, and we have to sing again? [ONSCREEN: A schedule, alternating  hourly between “sing” and “eat”] [ONSCREEN: crosstalk sing ～?] LTY: So you can already sing any song? YH: Yup! [ONSCREEN: more evil than usual, pointing at LTY] LTY: Than how about a song from the Tibetan Plateau? [[Tibetans are known for their vocal abilities.]] [Very high-pitched.] Ya la suooo~ [Sort of a Tibetan musical interjection. Like singing hey-ey-ey or something.] LTY: Just keep going from there. LTY: You can sing now. LTY: Sing. YH: [quietly] When we were rehearsing backstage you never said you’d do it that high. LTY: Nevermind that, just sing. YH: [Matching LTY’s pitch] Ya la suoo~ [Falling] This is a Tibetan~ [Rising dramatically] aaa-aaa-aaaAAAAAAAAAaaaaaaasong [Falling] aaaa-aaa. YH: How! Was! That! LTY: Awesome! You did Zhao Ritian’s clothes. [[I’m not sure about this. It’s a reference to a meme that I don’t really understand.]] YH: Ha ha! You see? LTY: Can you do anything else? [ONSCREEN: self-satisfied] YH: Just watch! LTY: You don’t say? YH: I’ll give you something fresh. LTY: Hm? YH: Something you’ve never even seen before! LTY: Oh? YH: I’ll play a little erhu [Chinese stringed instrument]! How about that? LTY: Then I’ll help you go get it. YH: Get what? LTY: The erhu -? YH: Are you joking? YH: I’m telling you now, when the real erhu pros play the erhu, they never use an erhu. [ONSCREEN, FLASHING: do not believe] LTY: What pros are these? YH: Just listen! [ONSCREEN: Kouhu time [kou=mouth]] [ONSCREEN: Erhu impressionist Yan He] [erhu sounds] YH: Any applause? LTY: Well, there should be. YH: Then where’s the clapping? LTY: There can’t be clapping. YH: Why? LTY: Where do you see an audience? YH: Ha!
