And I am not an apartment wife.
[Jun: "For clearing Level 609, OSTER, you're seriously an apartment wife!"]
These compliments are getting so crude, I'm not even sure if they're compliments.

I'm an adolescent, so of course I have.
It makes me super happy that since I'm OSTER-san, I'm the only person in the world who can make the murmur twins OSTER remix... (?)
With the creation of this remix, my 2020 is already over...
The sequence of words "yu_tokiwa.djw & OSTER project" has intense "old guy getting in the way of yuri" energy... But this is reality... It's real...
To provide a simple explanation of what "murmur twins OSTER Remix" is to me, it's like when the climactic scene of the last episode of a two-cour anime plays the first cour's opening theme. It's basically like that.
If I hadn't encountered murmur twins, I definitely wouldn't be making the sort of songs I do now, and I might never have met wac-san and Tokiwa-san... It was a turning point in my life.
[Mega Announcement] On the #beatmania #IIDX 20th anniversary tribute album!!!
Unbelievably!!!
Amazingly!!!!
I was allowed to provide a remix of "murmur twins"!!! :crying: :crying: :crying: :crying: :prayer hands: :prayer hands:
It's a song that's extremely important to me far beyond rhythm games, but in my very life! And a remix I put my whole soul into! Please listen to it!!!!!
It's Valentine's, yet I'm being examined all day at the hospital.
The MRI made a noise that sounds like a Massive synth.
If I don't shave off some of my life to make art, I lose my reason for living and can't live anymore... That's gotta be a bug, right?
And yet if it were forbidden to write lyrics with unfounded knowledge, I'd need to be bitten by a wolf in the forest at night, and jump in front of a train in front of my boyfriend, and have a forbidden tryst with a furry fox lady then do a double suicide... I'd never have enough lives for it all...
I underestimated painful injections back when I made Love Ward... There exist injections in this world that are hard indeed to bear... I shouldn't have written such a lyric acting like a know-it-all on painful injections...
I'll even put up with painful injections / Mascara runs down my complexion
Hate 'em... Hate injections...
As last, it's Valentine's! :hearts face: And of course, the thing to do on this special day is... :heart:

Bloom Into You is actually a super good title, really, just read this here. (handing you the full volume set)
Bloom... Into You... (trailer voiceover)
RT @nakataniii There's a fair number of people who've told me they saw the title [of Bloom Into You, literally "Soon, I Become You"] and thought it was possession-based horror.
Time will pass and you'll get older no matter what you do, so it's a waste not to give your all for yourself, surely.
There'll always be people who make fun of those who are trying their best yet not succeeding, but any time and energy you'd spend on worrying about them should go toward continuing to try your best. Once you start using your limited time to better yourself instead of mock others, you steadily distance yourself from those people.
You're beautiful.
People who can produce beautiful things are beautiful.
[Jun: "Got it, hop. I'll completely forget about "the money I borrowed the other day," bun."]
It's fine as long as you're quick to say it.
Playing around and daring to teach her things I want to make her forget, so I can then have her forget them.
[Jun: "Got it, hop. I'll completely forget about "what I did while drunk," bun."]
How to live.
Said something cool, so I'm gonna soak in the bath.
And I've come to learn that asking yourself what you think and how you want to live, then expressing that with words, is actually a pretty difficult thing despite also being considered ordinary. There are surprisingly many sides of you that you don't notice, and that's why it's important to involve yourself with others. You can't see your own back.
Of course there have been a ton of times it's been hard having chosen this profession, but having a friend tell me "Fuwacina, you express your feelings and beliefs so clearly and accurately with words, I can feel really comfortable being with you" made me super happy, and go like "Making lyrics for so long had meaning!!!!"
Fast-talking Domino otaku.
And just look at these selection functions. In addition to filtering just the highest or the lowest note in chords, you can also filter based on velocity or gate value. Furthermore, the batch edit function lets you not only do plus or minus to velocity and the like, but apply formulas with things like multiplication and percentages.
First off, just look at some of these config options. You can adjust the hitbox of where putting your mouse cursor over a note will change into gate adjustment. It's such an amazing feature. And I mean, I've never seen the word "hitbox" in a settings menu before. Is this a fighting game...?
Nobody knows the amazingness of Domino... Domino's incredible, it's freeware, and yet it's worlds more flexible as a sequencer than what's included with DAWs, and high-fidelity, and absurdly customizable... For mouse users, Domino is the strongest! Put Domino in Cubase, please...
Since you're doing it all with a mouse, who're you calling "Piano Girl"? From today forth, you are Rat Woman.
Here's the piano that was horribly tedious in Piano Girl.
I wonder what a ranking of "songs that made me feel like I would go nuts making them" would look like... The full-orchestra Demon Fire and Violet Rose would definitely be up there... And Piano Girl and Piano Forte also made me feel nuts... Songs with a bouncy rhythm like Piano Girl are especially tedious.
I'm nostalgic for my instrumental album...
[OSTER project] Album "Recursive Call" [Crossfade]
A trio-format instrumental song is one that allows for no cheats, so putting together six minutes of it was serious torture...
This is the song in the first half.
[OSTER project] Violet Rose [Music Video]
When you upload a video to Twitter, the start of the video becomes the thumbnail, so you need to be aware of that when making the video. (admonishing) [The previous video starts by fading in from black, so...]
Every time I make a live-style song with mouse, I think "I'll never do something this tedious again," then after a little bit, I'll be filled with energy and want to make one again...
I'm working day in, day out to make live-sounding jazz and even orchestra with mouse input. #RTAndMakeMeFamous

On the other hand, when it comes to my body, my chronic disease worsened and I stayed in bed... Why...
Going to the park on a holiday is really nice. When you get a glimpse of how people spend their spare time, it gives me warm feelings about how there are as many routines, lifestyles, and thoughts as there are people.
People who can't help but put down others are probably antsy from a lack of self-confidence, so if it comes to that, take another look at yourself first. Re-evaluating your life is important.
Even going viral with 60,000 likes on Toro Puzzle, I didn't gain any followers, but when my chord explanation video went viral, I gained 5000 followers... Indeed, people want beneficial information... And despite that thought, I've mainly been sending out worthless info. I went out late last night to buy umekobucha from the drug store.
I'm great for slowly coming to do things I was too afraid to do before...
In life, you can do anything anytime, and it's always you who sets your own limits. And so I got my ears pierced after turning 30.
The hardest part of the music-making process is starting to make music.
OSTER knew not of music theory. But she was more attuned to augs than the average person.
[Retweeting her 2020 goals list: "Video with my own art, Pixiv Fanbox, live Whale Rider, Friendship sequel, Rin album, OSTER-san's CD Vol. 3, fix ailing body"] Still only accomplished one of these...
I know I didn't understand one bit when people told me "this sound functions like so...", so I'd like to dedicate myself to explanations that are more casually like "Y'should use this at times like this! Not like I got any clue!" (define "explanations")
If it's just individual chords, you can Google those, so I think it'd be good to make videos with a unique understanding of the chords' personality, and practical examples of simple ways to use them by feel.
From now on, I plan to archive my don't-know-theory theory lectures here. Thanks in advance.

Casually Explaining Augments (augs) With Minimal Music Theory Part Two #2

I think my music's chordwork is a selling point, so I'm glad to share it with people who care about the nitty-gritty like this...
For nearly ten years I've been worrying "if I'm going to make music, would it be better to have a MIDI keyboard...?" and not actually buying one, but I make a lot of music.
The second one has a wrong chord, so I'll put it up after fixing that... I can't just say I actually lack a MIDI keyboard to check the chords with...

One of my songs is featured in this explainer video about Blackadder Chords.
The Blackadder Chord || Ongaku Concept
Even now, I'm sure careful inspection probably uncovers a ton of incorrect notes from a theory perspective, but I've come to feel like "Shaduuup! Who caaares!! It's my world, my rules!!" and be good with it. In the end, beauty is in the ears of the beholder... Believe your ears...
Also, while I've always been someone who managed despite not studying theory, it's taken like 20 years for me to establish a bunch of what I'm capable of now, so those who want to mature faster might find it faster to study theory... haha... Though I've had a lot of songs that came to be what they are due to going by feel.
When I first learned augs, my desire to use them got ahead of me, becoming Too Much and appearing in awkward places, but I feel like recently I've finally learned how to work them in naturally. Learning new techniques makes you want to use them, but ideally, what you want to represent should take priority, and then you want to have a lot of options for what techniques to use toward that purpose.
I like Mitsukiyo-san's songs that feel like they'd play in the background of a video about using proper manners during a movie screening...
RT @mitsukiyo_5 I made a jazz song for 2 pianos. BPM 250
But I do get the feeling dims and half-dims get used a lot for bringing out tragic and subtle moods... Listening to them on their own, it feels like Tuesday Suspense Theatre, but when they're thrown into the mix, it feels like a conflict scene in a shoujo manga. (extremely feel-based)
In terms of pure musical rules, I know enough of the very basics to make such a video, but due to my utter lack of knowledge in composing theory, I have no clue about what to use how to make things sound beautiful... It's just like "well anyway, I did it like this, and it worked well, don't get why though"...
I see a lot of demand to make a dim lecture, but I personally have zero grasp on the rules of when to use dims... Using dims by feel...
I messed up one of the chords while hastily throwing the video together, so I'll fix it when I upload to YouTube... :woman bowing:
[Retweeting a reply to the video about immediately wanting to use the "pre-landing Blackadder-ization" trick:] An amazing technique you can use right away with one simple trick! No harm in knowing it...
The subject matter's more complex than last time, but I absolutely wanted to touch on the symmetry (?) of augs... Such interesting chords augs are.
I truly don't know music theory, so I dunno why doing this makes it sound nice, but it's sort of like tricks you learn. Pre-landing!
Music is fun! Music is fun, huh?!
I've realized that the majority of the step-too-far augs I use may fit this pre-landing formula...
A second aug lecture for people who don't really get music theory, by a people who doesn't really get music theory. #Dominowns #AugsAreAugsome #OSTERLectures
Watch with English captions here! (Original Twitter video)
I don't really get music theory, but I like the chords called augs (augments), so this video is me doing my best to explain them. 2
C, E, G... What determines the nuances of chords is the intervals between notes! (AKA how far apart they are.)
C... +4 is E! The distance between C and E is 4. E... +3 is G! The distance between E and G is 3.
C (C E G), E (E G# B), G (G B D), A (A C# E), C (C E G)! As long as the C E G trio maintain this distance, they'll sound about the same no matter what worlds (key signatures) they travel to, but the notes that make them up change each time.
Incidentally... Even you swap the octaves of the notes making up a chord, it sounds roughly the same. (People call this inversion.) (examples show two instances of a chord, but with the second one swapping one or more of the notes to different octaves) Apparently what order you stack the notes in is called the voicing...
With all of that in mind, if we examine the structure of augs... C... +4 is E! The distance between C and E is 4. E... +4 is G#! The distance between E and G# is also 4. G#... +4 is C! Going up 4 half-tones from G# comes back to C!
When augs are inverted, wherever you start counting from, the distance between notes is always 4! In other words, Caug, Eaug, and G#aug are all constructed with the same notes! (They're just swapping with each other - Caug (C E G#), Eaug (E G# C), G#aug (G# C E), Caug (C E G#))
By the way, when we looked at step-too-far augs last time (Caug/D), it seems there are various ways to explain the slash note (this note, the "/D")... But personally, I'm in the... (counting up from C: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9!) Ahhh! The ninth nooote!! camp.
Well, anyway, the point is that since they're just swapping to the top like this, you can write them in a variety of ways. (All the same note makeup: Caug/D, Eaug/D, G#aug/D, Caug/D...) And while these chords may have a complex sound, they're super easy to use!
Even in isolation, they have a fancy sound, so you can create tricky effects just by moving them in parallel like missiles. (Or if not "fancy," like, they make a mysterious and thrilling approach...) (barrage of chords) It sounds super complex, but it's all just going voom, voom moving Blackadder Chords around... Simple, right?
When I want to add some flair to the flow of the song, my go-to is the bassline pre-landing formula. (The heck is that...)
In this section, focus on the bassline. The bass starts at C... and lands at F. (Bass: C... F...) This time, let's try having it arrive at a half-tone-up F# before it reaches F. (Bass: C... F# (the pre-landing!!!), F...)
Even just doing that is kinda interesting! But let's try stacking a Blackadder Chord onto that pre-landing F# to make it fancy. (C, Csus4, C, Eaug/F# (pre-landing aug), FM7... etc., pointing out other pre-landing augs in red as it goes)
Since it's so easy to do, it can get repetitive if you overdo it. But it's a relatively simple way to make fancy stuff, so may ye try it out! (Not really sure why, but this part (D/E, Ddim/E (?)) seems extra fancy...)
Feels so OSTER-like to add flavor with syncopation... (Dm7-5/G - love this one) (pre-landing aug: Baug/C#)

I don't really get music theory, but I like the chords called augs (augments), so this video is me doing my best to explain them. 2
Do, mi, so... What determines the nuances of chords is the intervals between notes! (AKA how far apart they are.)
Do... +4 is mi! The distance between do and mi is 4. Mi... +3 is so! The distance between mi and so is 3.
C (do mi so), E (mi so# ti), G (so ti re), A (la do# mi), C (do mi so)! As long as the Do Mi So trio maintain this distance, they'll sound about the same no matter what worlds (key signatures) they travel to, but the notes that make them up change each time.
Incidentally... Even you swap the octaves of the notes making up a chord, it sounds roughly the same. (People call this inversion.) (examples show two instances of a chord, but with the second one swapping one or more of the notes to different octaves) Apparently what order you stack the notes in is called the voicing...
With all of that in mind, if we examine the structure of augs... Do... +4 is mi! The distance between do and mi is 4. Mi... +4 is so#! The distance between mi and so# is also 4. So#... +4 is do! Going up 4 half-tones from so# comes back to do!
When augs are inverted, wherever you start counting from, the distance between notes is always 4! In other words, Caug, Eaug, and G#aug are all constructed with the same notes! (They're just swapping with each other - Caug (do mi so#), Eaug (mi so# do), G#aug (so# do mi), Caug (do mi so#))

I'm a multimedia creator, so I make meals too.
Going with a video further explaining augs.
What the heck should I explain next...? A supplement on augs? Or flat fives?
I don't understand theory, but I like theoretically-complex songs. (broken logic)
50,000 likes is amazing... I'm happy everyone likes augs... Listen to my songs...
Theory is like an assist function to help you reach a wonderful sound, so I think it's better to think of it as "handy to know." As long as you understand the way there by feeling, I feel like it's not a necessary thing. (team "let's casually start composing")
To someone fuzzy on theory, the existence of double sharps and double flats is super incomprehensible to me, but does it really have to be like that?!
They're not for actual publication or anything, just materials I bring along to have it performed, so I figure it's probably more important that it be easy for a musician to read and play than harmonically correct, but still.
As far as what troubles me due to not getting music theory, I guess there's how when I'm writing sheet music, I worry over whether I should write C# or Db... But I do kind of get the notion that they're written different for different functions.
The Diminished Seventh sounds like a cool title for a popular manga.
I always have doubts, and every time I look it up I end up forgetting, so I'm eternally doubting myself, but if the 7 in C7 is B-flat, why is the 7 in Cdim7 A?! Dammit!! I don't know nothin' about music!!!
The chords known as augments, theoretically speaking, are like the equilateral triangles of chords. Not like I know theory.
Regarding augs, I could make endless reference to Tanaka-san's songs, but this song of Maaya Sakamoto-san's is wild. First time I ever heard a song ending on an aug...
I think of augments, flat fives, and sharp ninths at the Three Sacred Treasures of sound.
For those who liked my aug video, please listen to this song too.

↑ The truth behind the odd feeling of augs (?)
I seriously haven't properly studied theory at all, so I'm really sorry if I said something incorrect. Don't take it too seriously, just look at it like "Here's some things you can do! Fun, right? Try using it in your songs!", okay? :folded hands:
When you get into augs, you'll endlessly put them in for passing notes, and your songs will get more and more complex and dense.
When the best-buds relationship is altered in a positive direction, it's an aug, and when it's negatively altered, it's a diminish or a flat five. Both can be used to add tension and uneasiness to a song, I think, but heck if I know. (heck if i know)
I thought I'd sum things up, but even I have no idea why to choose augs, or the rules behind them... We're all using augs by feel.
I made an aug lecture for people who don't really get music theory, by a people who doesn't really get music theory. #Dominowns #AugsAreAugsome

I don't really get music theory, but I like the chords called augs (augments), so this video is me doing my best to explain them. (Pause if it's too fast)
"C"... When this plays, the truth is... "G"... is also playing alongside it. You're probably like "the hell are you saying?", but apparently they're called "overtones."
C, D, E, F, G... C and G are five notes apart, so... people call their relationship a PERFECT FIFTH (best buds).
When you move in parallel, maintaining the interval between C and G, it sounds like this. (People call these power chords.)
Many of the chords people use add some other note to this perfect fifth. (C, E, G - C and G form the perfect fifth, E is in the middle. C + E in the middle + G, G + B in the middle + D.)
However, with augs... (C, E, G# (?!)) You take a step away from being "best buds" to form a dangerous and unstable relationship... No going back to the way things were. So like, how do you use this strange sound?
The most easily-understood example: A "passing note" approach, such as when building up to the chorus. Say you have this pattern... (section pointing out the "top" notes of G and A)
You can connect the top notes G and A using the note that's between them, G#. (C (C E G) with top note G → Caug (C E G#) with passing note G# → F (F A C) with top note A) With this alone, you can add a unique sense of floatiness and make the song sound fancy!! (* Personal opinion)
This use of augs for passing notes feels a bit by-the-book... For instance, there's also songs like this. (Within each chord is a note in a "lurking melody" that follows the pattern. C (lurking G) → Caug (G#) → F (A), Dm7 (C) → Aaug (C#) → Dm9 (D). The Aaug wasn't that kind of approach aug...)
A way of using augs that takes it another step (AKA going a step too far): Normal Caug. But raise the bass down here one note, and... Caug/D! Has kind of a risky sound. (People call this a Blackadder Chord.)
Let's shove this in place of the earlier example aug and say goodbye with an aug festival...
Going overboard like this can be interesting in itself... Before you know it, you'll surely be addicted to augs too.

When you move in parallel, maintaining the interval between "do" and "so," it sounds like this. (People call these power chords.)

[Continuing last night's Lemon parody:] Until the bill is paid, I can't return
If I went to the My Hero Academia world, I'd want a quirk that let me produce beef fillet rossini from my hands.
Even the foie gras from that day, even the fillet from it,
I loved every part of it, alongside truffles
Inseparable from my heart, the scent of balsamic vinegar
I'll never forget the foie gras I ate that day.
I'm also who I am now from chasing after various others. Maybe next it'll be my turn to get chased after. I'll definitely get away from you. (It isn't that kind of game.)
My genes are constantly being inherited...
RT @PianoYurara Since I started listening to OSTER project's songs, the chords and melodies I use have changed completely. I one-sidedly think of her as the teacher who created my current sound.
I got up to a lot of uncharacteristic antics back in high school, like biking to a friend's house carrying this synth on my back... How nostalgic.
I only have MP3s and MIDIs of my old songs, and at the time I didn't mix them at all and just recorded them straight from the synth. But I do still have the hardware, so I guess it'd be possible to hook it up and fix the mixing to get the highest quality out of the synth I was using back then...??
I used to get up to some mischievous stuff. (musically speaking)
This is the sort of song I made in high school.

Lesbian Brothel Anthology is good stuff.
Today I went to a stone sauna and lost my panties.
Now remember, it's fun because we have that kind of friendship, but hearing that from someone else would be just plain harrassment...
The saying "good fences make good neighbors" means that if you aren't thinking of each other, it's hard to keep up a relationship. Being able to cheerfully joke with one another is proof that you understand what territory you can't step into. Which is exactly why being told by a super good friend "you're so flat lol" and getting mad can be enjoyable and comfortable.
I often think how you can't rest on your laurels after earning someone's favor. I don't like the term "rotten relationship" [i.e. "inseparable, like it or not"]; if friends have things they can give each other, you should value those things. Don't let 'em rot. Ya gotta keep 'em fresh.
Going on about this stuff always makes people say I'm into "radiant yuri."
Determining you're going to be with someone isn't the goal; how you live your lives together after that, and what you can provide each other, are first steps in discovering the meaning of being together. To keep that determination glittering always, you have to properly confront that.
It's embarrassing how blatantly the "kissing fish" couple was influenced by Bloom Into You, but I wish blessings on a couple who overcame many difficulties together and blossomed feelings of specialness toward each other, and hope they'll continue to search for the meaning of them being together...
It's sort of my ideal yuri - I want them to share not just their joys, but their pain and sadness too.
Ahhhhhhhh, I really do love this song...
OSTER project - kissing fish feat. Hatsune Miku & Megurine Luka [NicoNico]
I've used up all my playful bites, so I must go on a quest in search of new eros. Life is a long journey... You can't cling to playful bites forever...
I think I'll probably boast about coming up with the line "told with a playful bite, an "I love you" that can't be voiced" for the rest of my life, and would like it engraved on my tombstone... I want it put in history textbooks as a classic deathbed poem...
"Playful bite" has both a cuteness and a sexiness, and that balance makes it feel like the ultimate finishing move to me. But I've already used it twice, so it'll be hard to use in the future... Held hands and kisses are commonplace, so they're easy to use, but playful bites have a strong identity. A secret technique to reveal at just the right moment.
Both Selfish Sweet and Rabbit Fur use the term "playful bite." You got a fetish there...?
Going home in cold winter weather while listening to Selfish Sweet is the best... The creator of this song is undoubtedly a genius...
It's incredible how realistic Bloom Into You is about how girls are when they gather together. Like the scene on the LaLaport Toyosu terrace where they share opinions on movies... I'm just trying to convince all humanity to simulwatch it...
We talked about yuri manga while drinking, so I spoke passionately about Bloom Into You, anyway watch Bloom Into You.
(Naturally, I went on a pilgrimage to Shinagawa.)
Yuu-chan likes flapjack octopuses, yet her T-shirt is a jellyfish.
I wanna brag to everyone about my Bloom Into You T-shirt.
I got dead drunk two days in a row...
I'm a Bloom Into You otaku, so I bought a T-shirt like Yuu-chan's.
Once, I bought matching earrings with a friend and went out in high spirits, and next thing I knew, I'd lost one of them, which was super sad... Later, that friend also lost one of them, so we were matching again. (define "matching")
I put on some earrings my good friend's mother made me and went out in high spirits, but when I got home and took them off, I realized I'd lost the backing somewhere, and now I'm down in the dumps... From high spirits to down in the dumps...
During the Bloom Into You binge at my stayover the other day, at the scene where Yuu-chan's being kissed by Touko-chan and thinking "Her eyebrows... are so long...", my friend looked at me after I'd gotten out of the bath and said "Your eyebrows... are so gone...", and I got super mad. (it was super fun)
[Toro: "When you're down, touching butts will cheer you up, meow."]
That's true.
My new song is wholesome.
Mozart made a song saying to lick him in the ass, so making a song about girls feeling like they're gonna turn into whales should be nothing to bat an eye at.
I'm going to an incredibly fancy place today, so I must make myself fancy as well.
It's the weekend, and the weather's nice, so I went on a day trip to the hospital.
At this age, I know that nothing's futile in life, and for all things a day will come when it has meaning, but I unavoidably have difficulty dealing with my anxiety until that day comes, so I just have to clear my mind and keep at it. That's how daily life is.
Opened my notes and found an inexplicable one.
["Doom Unto Gator" (Yagate Wani ga Shinu)]
You have to stick with what you find beautiful and shout it out. If you meet people along the way who approve or look at the same sights as you, it'll make you really happy, and give you so much courage you'll feel like you've been living just to reach that moment.
Life is a constant journey to find people who find beauty in the same beliefs, ways of life, and art as you.
I stayed a few days with a friend who's good at cooking, and I'm coming home with pimples on my nose...
I'm super scared of airplanes and can never get used to taking them, but the moment we landed, I Don't Want to Miss a Thing started playing, making it into an emotional return... I want to recommend it to all people who aren't good with planes.
I'm lodging with a yuri-loving friend for a yuri-fantasizing training camp, so I'm up at 2 AM thinking about how Rin-chan in Friendship could become happy...
[Jun: "Let's turn out the lights. Is fruit hunting something you can do in a futon too, I wonder?"]
I'm thinking I should play dumb.
[Jun: "Let's turn out the lights, still only 11:35, huh? It's only been 9 hours since I was doing something I can't really say earlier, but I'm feeling like I wanna do something I can't really say again..."]
I'm thinking I should play dumb.
(Furthermore, this is the fourth viewing)
What do you do late in the night at a girls-only sleepover? That's obvious... (Bloom Into You watch party until morning) [Photo of watching Bloom Into You.]
I did a lot of audio processing on kissing fish, of course, but the base is just plugging away in Domino.
RT @krtkzippo Fuwacina-san uploading a Negitoro song, Sekihara-san drawing Negitoro art, and both of them being contained in one video... Reiwa owns.
It's so yuri, I became a lily...
[Retweeting Sekihara's illustration] Seriously, look, spread this beautiful art, please...
I worked hard to make the video energetic, so please watch!
[Announcement] I made a cute future bass yuri song! Go listen! Thanks in advance! :woman/woman kiss: :clap:

I feel like writing it like this is the fastest and most accurate, but I actually want to know what would be the best way to phrase it without doing this.
[Screenshot of a chat app: "Or I'm also okay going to an X cafe (where X is any animal)"]
A scientific mind.
Uploading the song today! Thanks in advance.
May all humanity look at Sekihara-san's illustration... The day they sent me this picture was the day I died...
[Amazing Announcement] Tomorrow, January 28th, at 8 PM, I'll be posting a music video for my super cute yuri future bass song "kissing fish"!! Thanks in advance!!
Illustration: Sekihara-san
I'll upload it after checking! It'll be soon! Hooray!
Aaaaaah, I worked so haaard...
The video!!! Is done!!!!
this is why I don't use keyboard when I compose
Miracle Paint is me and Y-chan's daughter. She's almost in middle school.
I wonder if that was the first time I showed an interest in recursion...
Long ago, I had an interest in stuff like "what would happen if I discarded the recycle bin on my PC into the recycle bin shortcut?"
I wondered about it and looked it up, and I'm freaking out after learning that in specific cases, negative Kelvin may be possible.
The juice inside soup dumplings is roughly the same temperature, which is said to be 5 quadrillion Kelvin.
Accordingly, one must exercise caution when eating fresh octopus dumplings.
People often wonder what the point of scientific education like math and chemistry is, but I think knowing how all things work leads to a better life. Studying science, I've learned that the coldest substance in the universe is absolute zero, and that the hottest substance in the universe is fresh octopus dumplings.
[Ricky: "You a god of drinking, yo? Feels like you could be the world's best user of drinking."]
The world's best user of drinking.
[Jun: "Still only 6:02, huh? It's only been 3 hours since I was doing sexy stuff earlier, but I'm feeling I wanna do sexy stuff again..."]
Such a strong sex drive...
[Jun: "Speaking of cotton candy stands, bags with wac-san illustrations are always a hot seller, bun..."]
I actually want this.
[Toro's diary: "Cotton candy, chocolate CoCo Ichibanya Level 10 Spice, beer-flavored shaved ice, Moukotanmen Nakamoto North Pole candy, and grilled beef filet. We'll all help out at the stands, meow. The festival's so soon, my heart's racing, meow!"]
They're trying to start a hellish festival in my Toro Puzzle...
With them stacked like this, it feels intensely fetishistic.
[Jun: "I hear lots of kids these days don't say "just a draft beer for now"! That's no good..."]
Sudden old-timer rant.
[Jun: "Pretending to be a good-looking woman the other day was fun! I played the part 200%!"]
I want to live this way.
I think I need to live in a way that doesn't bring shame to this song. I'll keep polishing my aspirations and never let them go out.
"A gem holding the power of space" is incredibly emotional as it is, but it's also rainbow-colored. That'll reach into space for sure.
By the way, if you were wondering why it's called Labradorite, it's because I was watching Jewel Pet at the time... Power of the cosmos, Labradorite.
It's an encouraging song that tells you that even if it's billions of light years away, the light you keep polishing will reach its destination... Sniff... I'll do my best.
Labradorite's just such a good song, huh?
The happiness of Luka-san and Miku-san in "kissing fish" has afflicted me with a sickness, where I suffer when I think of Rin-chan... Even though that's in a whole different universe...
Women who have good looks, and can eat a ton but are slim and healthy, please share one of your stats with me, I don't care which.
The moment someone who makes me go "This person's a god! What a wondrous being!" fails at something or shows imperfection, I can go "They weren't a god! They're human, like me! Thank goodness! Thank goodness! Even someone this great is human! I'll do my best too!"...
There's people who want the people they like to look cool, and people who want to see their hopeless side too. I think I might be the latter...
