March 10th, 2020

The day I've long been awaiting but never wanted to come is nearly at hand... But if it's already here, now I just need to endure. Simple...

Not getting as much work done as I thought... :crying: Tomorrow's my last day in this life, so I'll do my best not to leave any regrets...

My wishlist is gradually clearing out, and I'm seriously grateful... Thank you very much...

People who don't like spicy food often misinterpret me, but it's not like I eat spicy things as a joke. I eat them because they're delicious.

Huh, wait, the wagyu beef got bought?! Wagyu...!!!! Thank you, minister of wagyu... :crying: :crying: :crying: :folded hands:

Once, a fellow flat-chested friend told me how her chest shrank after childbirth, and I immediately blurted out "Even smaller?!" (We laughed about it a lot afterward)

Huh, what do I want, indeed...? What do you think I want...???? Boobs!!!!!

Even when I'm asked what I want, I answer "wagyu beef"... I have no greed... Only an appetite...

RT @itsuii98981 It's just food!!!!!
There was a cushion and stuff at first!!!!!! I swear, Totoro was really there!!!

[Retweeting wishlist] Stuff like the cushion that could help with my back and the bath salt was quickly snapped up, turning it into a simple glutton's wishlist...

The Gator Who Dies If They Don't Use augs

Isn't the Kiritan song amazing?! There's hardly any time to relax!!! It's the song of a diseased person who has to constantly be doing something weird or they die...

The Kiritan song's more popular on NicoNico than YouTube! Interesting how it differs depending on the song.

Someone bought the cushion on my wishlist?! I didn't get a notification?!

I've really gotten a clear picture of how I'm only thinking about food...

That time I made a wishlist and most of it ended up being food... :bowing woman: :bowing woman: :bowing woman: [Link to an Amazon wishlist, which is empty by now.]

I guess I probably should make a wishlist... :crying: :tears:

As I look over medical bills, I'm thinking "If I had this money, I could've eaten lots of delicious things at a fancy restaurant..." and making myself sad.

While taking care of surgery paperwork, my heart pounded so much that my stomach started hurting... I'm way too much of a chicken.

For people who don't have them yet, I've also got CDs! (direct marketing)

Sorry if that earlier series of tweets felt like I'm urging you to support me on Fanbox... :woman bowing: (I did gain supporters :heart:) But if you just saw that and simply thought "I want to support her," then I'll simply say "thank you." :heart:

Since you never know what'll happen in life, it's scary to think how you don't know when you might lose the things you have now. I know when that happens, no matter how painful it is, I'll just have to accept it and keep living, but it's horribly exhausting every time, so I just want to live peacefully...

I never want to make an announcement like "I'm quitting music to work at a desk job"! lol... I hope such a day never comes...

So out of a desire for everyone to know more about what I find beautiful, I make all sorts of videos, but I've only just started, and I'll be happy if I can slowly permeate through society! I'll continue to do my best.

What people think, what they enjoy, and what they spend money on is completely up to them, and I know all I can do is try to become an important presence to those people, but still! I get uneasy sometimes too, bein' human and all. :adult:

I want to always make music, and I'll continue to put in the effort to make that happen, but I don't want people to go like "she'll probably keep creating even if I ignore her." Not just for me, but for all creators in the world...

I've felt iffy about that for years, and finally hit the point of being able to say it.

Just because you keep working hard doesn't mean you'll be seen, and I'm sure my difficulties making opportunites for my name to be seen come from my own lack of effort and ability. But if you happen to see my name again after a long time and say I "revived" as if I wasn't active the whole time, that just makes me feel lonely, okay?!

March 9th, 2020

[Ricky: "Ahhh, I can't wait for the female body man show, ribbit."] [I'm guessing the intended template here is "[one]-man show."]
That's a strip tease.

Should I drastically increase my appearances on Twitter, or should I post recovery diary entries to Fanbox...? lol

I haven't been directly affected by coronavirus until now, but its biggest effect on me is how visits will be forbidden while I'm in the hospital... That makes me way too uneasy. (because I'm a baby)

It's the last spurt before hospitalization.

Posted [For Fanatics] Pf+Ba+Wind+Strings Mix: AI Want Your Love! Kiritan to Pixiv Fanbox!

Though of course my wind instruments and strings are just mega-self-taught!!!

But I do really want people to listen to those four parts...

I was thinking of throwing an alternate mix with just the piano, bass, wind instruments, and strings, but I worried it might be too niche. :thinking face:

RT @spmagnet8 Miss OSTER, what I want even more than chord talk is tips for composing wind and string instruments with a mouse... I'll pay if I have to...

Some say I was the first to coin the word "Miku-rapt." (?) [A word for people dependent on or addicted to Miku, evidently first said on her Radio in Love.]

If I had to perform the Kiritan song, I think I'd die.

[Photo: "YURI [Lilies]: 720kcal, 1,200 yen (+ tax)"]
720kcal

Really want to learn my lesson and stop deciding what to wear on instinct without checking the weather forecast.

Once again, my back has been in climax mode since this morning, but I'm going out for a girls' lunch...

Every time I listen to that Frozen 2 song, in my head I sing "lesbianing now."

I imagine there are people who think the more active the bass is, the better, but you see, the more active the bass is, the better.

I make songs like I'm riding a broom and flying through the sky with magic, so I wonder sometimes what I'd do if I suddenly forgot how to fly and fell. All of it is feelings, ingrained in my head and hands...

What's that...? Oh, sure, I just used a slash aug as a clincher before the chorus, what of it?

Though ultimately I think it's most important that it sounds good when you hear it, and think it's fine that way!

This time especially, I'm startled by the outbreak of augs during the song. It's not like I was enthusiastically going "I'll consciously use augs!" when I made it. I guess it's common when I'm trying to make a line that moves by half-tones that it accidentally forms augs in the process...

When I go back and analyze like this how it's actually constructed, I re-recognize how I truly do make songs by feeling alone...

I'm making a little bit of an explanation video that's not much of an explanation for the Kiritan instrumental, but seriously, this is really not much of an explanation.
[Picture of video: "Semi-explanation of the big highlights (key=F→Eb→Gb) Started it trying for some kind of key change again, but what the hey is this?"]

Tohokuuuuu!! It's meeeee!!!

I like both Tohoku and Kiritan!!!!!

RT @2R6H8Yu_ki - Usui Department Store (Fukushima)
- Sanmangoku (mainly Fukushima)
- Station-Side Contact (Ace Contact) (Fukushima)
- York Benimaru (mainly Fukushima)
- Seagull Eggs (Iwate)
Could this be a Fukushima native...?

Listen to my progression!!!!!!!!!!

I made a "Kiritaaaaan!!! It's meeeee!!!!!" song. How many Tohoku references can you catch?! :chin hands:
YouTube / NicoNico
#AIKiritan #TohokuKiritan #CertifiedTohokuResident

The video's going up soon!

I'm gonna die before the gator does... Sniffle... :crying: :crying: :crying:

:gator: If you're gonna be aggressive with the bassline, you gotta start from the areolas, right?
:rat: You got that right!
5 Days Until Surgery [Parody of the Gator Who Dies After 100 Days format]

[Announcement] Today!! Is 7 PM okay?! Should we do 8 PM?! It's fine either way!! I'll be uploading my new song with AI Kiritan brimming with Tohoku love, "AI Want Your Love! Kiritan"! :baguette: :baguette: (there wasn't a kiritanpo one) Assemble, good kids and bad kids alike!! #AIKiritan #TohokuKiritan

My Miku-san who sang about "dying up to her fingertips your color," ten years later, is secretly and proudly cutting her nails short to prepare for yuri times...

No one else knows what will make your own life feel bountiful. People have their own things they hold precious and values they want to respect, too.

I feel my own maturity looking at how I can write lyrics like Friendship now, and how that's probably because I've grown as a person. The problem with having puberty way too late.

Like, looking at Miracle Paint now, doesn't it leave such an impression of a virgin's idea of a cute girl??? Dying up to my fingertips your color?????

That's probably why a lot of my older lyrics are fantastic with no hint of reality. I probably didn't understand people's feelings very well. Meanwhile, the more recent they get, the more raw and realistic I think they are... Though which one's better is a matter of taste.

I don't think it's like I was trying to present myself as diligent, I was really just a person who could only do what she was told. Even now, that way of life has become a habit, so I can't be flexible in my ideas when the time calls for it.

I always immersed myself in worlds which could be entirely solitary like study, music, and games, so before I knew it, my abilities to socialize and show sympathy and live in harmony were being utterly lapped. I still make a lot of mistakes, but it feels like it's only in the past few years I've been able to build meaningful relationships with others...

The other day, I was told a story about "once, I skipped school and (etc.)", and even if that isn't a commendable thing, I felt a kind of aspiration or envy about having that kind of experience. About how I was only able to live following predetermined rules in a pre-established world...

March 7th, 2020

murmur twins from O to W contains all the components humans need to live. It can't cure cancer yet, but it will.

Until a month ago, I was thinking "Can't I get up to 30,000 followers? :heart:", yet 40,000 is in sight now. Life is amazing... Nice round numbers! :heart:

I'm serious.

I want to be invited by a lecturer at a music vocational school or something, and when the curtains rise, loudly speak "Please aggress my areolas" and get banned. [Probably based on "semeru" (attack) being usable both in a musical sense and in a sex way.]

If I can brag a little, I'm in Guinness as the person who makes the world's most OSTER-san-like music.

It's pleasant when both you and others are in a mindset where you can casually praise people!

Everyone seems to think living is just ordinary, but all kinds of anxieties and suffering befalls you endlessly just in the act of living, so I think being able to keep piling on day after day amid that is a really amazing thing.

Also, people think I must absolutely love thrill rides, but I can't handle them... The problem is that they really scare me every time, but people think I'm really seeking that kind of stimulus... I guess they would... (i like spicy food)

Huh?! You're great just for living! But on top of that, you work, and make a living only on the money you earn?! Isn't that too incredible?! Can I get a Nobel Amazing Prize?!?!

I wonder, is an only child characterized by acting free and selfish?

Is there not some better Japanese than "douyou ni tashika rashii"? I feel like there are probably people who don't feel comfortable with probability thanks to that bizarre phrase... I was always super bad with probability...

Isn't it tough remembering what's eldest-daughterness and second-daughterness and youngest-daughterness? I managed to learn blood personality types, but there's so much to learn. I'm me-esque. They're similar-esque. ["Douyou ni tashika rashii," a phrase meaning "they're equally likely," that uses the same "rashii" I'm translating as "-esque."]

While out drinking last night, I was told I'm eldest-daughter-esque, but I'm a second daughter. Good morning.

OSTER-san's Surgery Vol. 1

"Like" is such a handy and cruel word!!

Please listen to Friendship!!!!!!!!

RT @KamchaUral321 OSTER-san generally speaks for and makes into song my feelings on yuri, so all I can say is "please listen to Friendship."

name of phenomenon where you're with someone who's fun to be with and smile so much your cheek muscles hurt

When I'm cognizant of my surgery, I get super scared, so I'll try to spend the time not being cognizant of it.

Today's Exhibition
Sciatica VS Muscle Pain
Time: March 6th
Place: My body

Masseur appearing in an adult video: "What would you like me to loosen up today?"

Progressive values.

March 4th, 2020

Think rationally and have your hernia fixed, dummy.

Listen to "murmur twins from O to W"... Please... If Shenron appeared before me right now, I'd totally wish for all humanity to listen to "murmur twins from O to W"...

Want to make an Oil Baron tier on my Fanbox to be supported with.

At any rate, I'll do as much as I'm able to! Once I'm out of the hospital, I'll put on stamina and increase my performance. I'll do my best and live.

I want to make more lecture videos, but between making a Kiritan video and finishing up work matters, my hospital date will come up in the blink of an eye...

I used tags that I figured absolutely wouldn't exist, but felt such a sense of defeat when some already did...

#WannaConnectWithOilBarons #OilBaronGirl #OilBaron #WhiskMeAwayToDubai

I wrote "prerelease," but I plan to release it relatively soon...

Posted [Prerelease] AI Want Your Love! Kiritan on Pixiv Fanbox!

(wanting people to hear it very badly)

Wonder if it'd be okay to prerelease the Kiritan song on Fanbox...

Yes, let's say it's done. The song is done. It's done!

So, about the song. It's done, you see.

What I like about The Gator Who Dies After 100 Days is that frank friendship where you can go "hey, why not!" and suddenly decide to go out for ramen...

I want cute clothes, but I really want a healthy body that'll allow me to properly experience the fun of picking and buying cute clothes...

I'm always at a loss when I'm asked what I want... Right now, maybe a zero-gravity cushion that wouldn't even break an egg if you sat on it? Also, MODO Drum... Geez, so it's synths after all...

I'm not that greedy, so I want living expenses. (urgent)

Ethics are like currency. There's an absolute sense of security in having them, but in places where they're not in use, they become worthless scraps of paper.

March 3rd, 2020

[R-Suzuki: "It's the same as having your heart moved by rainbow-colored energy drinks or skeleton-color shorts, robo."]
Skeleton-color shorts move my heart.

By having people who are friendly to me and hang out with me and support me, my soul is replenished, and I can make music.

Gotta replenish your worn-down soul frequently.

Since the start of this year, I've made nothing but songs that whittle away at my soul... Then again, last year I whittled it away pretty hard too... The act of making music is the act of whittling away your soul... That's why songs are pieces of the soul.

What day is today??? It's the day "murmur twins from O to W" is released into the world!!!!!

Sleeping a lot because of my back hurting...

The sun was still up when I was done at the hospital, so I got cocky and had a car wash and went straight to buy food afterward, which quietly killed my back, so now I'm bedridden... It's not good to get cocky.

The money I planned to use to eat cafe lattes and gyuudon and cutlet curry and sirloin steak and Chateaubriand vanished into surgery expenses... :flying cash: I'll eat them when I'm healthy... What happened to your diet...

Of course, I've still got a little time... I've got to finish some stuff before I'm hospitalized. :flex:

Thank you for your warm messages, everyone!! I'll do my best... :crying:

(I'm joking around a fair bit, but I'm such a scaredy-cat that I freaked out and felt like I was gonna die when I first had contacts put in, and when I got my ears pierced, and when I rode an airplane on my own, so I'm so scared I'm gonna cry.)

Gonna do my best with surgery. :ambulance:

Many years ago, I had my gallbladder removed, so honestly, just living means you lose body parts by the day... Assemble the exposed body parts and create an OSTER-san all your own. The first issue comes with an intervertebral disk at 390 yen. At bookstores nationwide.

When I get out of the hospital, I want to see the sakura. At least grant that meager wish... Sniff...

For half a year, I've had such bad sciatica when I walk that I've spent a lot of time in bed and put on all this blobby fat, but I've got to lose weight once I can move...

I wanted to give a happier report, but I'll heal up and do my best! Surgery's scary! :crying: :crying: :crying:

Regarding the requests I've received, I'll be sure to do them away from my hospitalization days, but while in the hospital, videos and Fanbox updates will go on break... Actually, because of Dr. Corona, it seems visits will be completely forbidden and I'll be super lonely, so someone please talk to me... I've got such a hernia, it's become more of a "hell-near"...

It's a personal matter, but I have a report for everyone.
Come March 13th, I will be undergoing surgery to remove Mr. Lumbar Vertebrae Herniated Disk, with whom I have been acquainted for some time.
I'm feeling a mix of hope and anxiety about this new embarkment in my life, but I hope you'll all continue to provide me guidance and encouragement.

To all middle-schoolers who enjoy making "sec" plural!

Whaddya mean, a hidden gem of a song?! I'm not trying to run or hide!!

I remember that dark year when I spent both my birthday and Christmas in a hospital bed... This is nothing compared to that...

Being at the hospital on both Valentine's and Hinamatsuri is depressing... Medical expenses... :pensive face: :flying cash:

Today's Hinamatsuri, so I'm going to the hospital.

March 2nd, 2020

[Toro: "Humans sometimes get nude on stage, don't they?"
Jun: "Woohoo! Seems like the song and dance can both be pervy-yuri, hop!"]
Biased information.

When I'm not making music, I become emotionally unstable, yet when I am making music, I become emotionally unstable...

Why did I start making this song...? Why did I start making music to begin with...? Why was I born...? Why was life born on Earth...? Why was the the universe born...? Why...

There's a lot of scary stuff I'm uneasy about, but I just have to keep living solemnly...

March 1st, 2020

Here's some Rin-Kiri (?) for you. (????) [Retweets fanart of Rin complaining about Kiritan stealing her songs]

I've never thought about Luka-Rin or Rin-Luka, but I'm interested in what it'd be like. :thinking face:

I get the impression that compared to BL, people are more lenient about reversible pairings in yuri, but I love Miku-Luka and Luka-Miku and Rin-Miku and Miku-Rin, hello. [It's generally established in Japanese fandom that the first person in the ship name is the seme/top.]

Huh?! Today's Luka-Miku day?! [Retweets kissing fish]

I compose totemo yabee [extremely nuts] music

Thinking about it rationally, the work of making a song from nothing is demonically difficult, so aren't I amazing for being able to successfully do it?????

Making songs is so hard I'm gonna cry.

queen of music :princess: :sparkles:

RT @scrubble39 [Retweeting an old tweet of OSTER's that lists "eras" of her music and the major songs in each:] It's crazy how she's the queen of music, isn't it?

The sci-fi-ness of getting sexually harrassed by an AI using words you taught it yourself is incredible.

[Jun: "OSTER, do you have hay fever? After work, make sure to exercise care by washing your female body at a sink."]
Workplace sexual harrassment.

I say it every year, but I wanna change something this year... I mean, I don't mean change something like I'm going to suddenly change my methods. I guess it's more like, I want to reach a moment where everything I've built up thus far holds new meaning...

People who similarly chose a path of following what they like give me courage too. Seeing people who chose the same life becoming happy makes me want to have hope too, so I end up rooting for them...

For now, I'll aim to complete a Kiritan song today...

As such, while it's a shameless request, I'll be able to do my best if you provide your support. (direct marketing)
Support OSTER project on Pixiv Fanbox!

I'm at a loss since the rate at which I produce content absolutely can't keep up with the speed of my ideas, or the speed of the world... I need to keep managing within it somehow. I can't do everything I wanna do, so I have to narrow it down, but what to prioritize...?

To increase the focus on being able to do things I like, I think it's super important to figure out how to monetize the things I have... What should I do... what do I...

Living following the things you like means putting up with ten things you don't like to be able to do one thing you can't help but love. That's how it goes.

Wanna become good at composing...

The Gator Who Dies If He Doesn't Go Viral Once A Day (the gator who badly craves recognition)

February 29th, 2020

I'm sorry, food... I'm sorry... Forgive me, I'll be careful in the future...

After confirming that I forgot to refrigerate my food before my trip, my Tohoku trip has ended.

[Jun: ""Women" are... a food, pretty, and I love them, hop!"]
I don't think that's very nice.

Don't tell me, it was a trap to make me do a search for "inns turkish march"...?

The inn I'm staying at has amazing food and baths, but for some reason, the BGM during all of dinner last night was Turkish March, so I might've been tricked by a fox.

When I think about how there's this girl who'll sing the songs I made like that, it makes me so happy and joyous...

Listening to Kiritan's voice makes me go "I wanna make musiiic!"

On Vacation But I Wanna Finish This Song Soon Disease

February 27th, 2020

OSTER songs are super OSTER-like.

There's only one way to finish a song, and that's to make a song.

Dying! Dying! I'm gonna die!! aug! aug! Slash!! Slash dim!!! aug!!!!

I'm always questioning why people can be so tenacious about things they dislike... I already hardly have enough time in my life devoting it to the things I like, and when I want to find things I like, I look for them, and a life packed with things you like just seems more worthwhile... Though that in itself is just one set of values, of course.

I just don't think you should hurt or rain on the parades of people who like a thing, and if there's something you absolutely have to get out, I think you should talk about it at a pub or something. But I can't change other people, so I'm at least trying to live according to that campaign myself.

I don't particularly like the act of posting your "not for me"s online in a place everyone can see. (She posts, broadcasting her own "not for me." Lose a turn.)

February 26th, 2020

I'm a masochist, so I'm watching a beefsteak episode of 3-Minute Cooking on Hulu while putting up with an empty stomach.

What's going on with Kiritan's hairstyle??? Is it twintails???

I'm really just thinking that super self-centeredly though!!!!

I really feel the same sort of excitement as when I first met Miku-san, and I hope to be able to hype things up alongside everyone...

While I keep on going with lecture videos, I've got a lot on my plate between making songs, making videos, and Fanbox stuff, but I'll do my best! Yeah! And I'll cook properly for myself, too! :flex: :flex: :flex:

[After retweeting all four lecture videos so far:] My first lecture video was this month! I've gained like 7000 followers since then, so I'm massively grateful... :folded hands: :folded hands: :folded hands: And I got to meet Kiritan! Let's keep treasuring our encounters!!

I haven't been able to get much composing done this month, but I tweeted a lot, and got a lot of opportunities for people to notice me, and gained a ton of followers, so it's good!!!!!!!!!

February 25th, 2020

This was no time to be drawing Kiritan.

"Don't take my sooooongs!"
"I mean, say that all you want..."

She's too cute, I can't... #AIKiritan

The episode in which a class with the type of character who always puts "-cchi" at the end of his classmate's names gets a new transfer student, Yurie-chan.

Kiritan's voice and singing style are super cuuute... I could listen to her forever, so I wanna have her sing more songs...

Those who can't help but enjoy thinking about how to make use of a technology are a breed called "creators," and a lot of creators are thinking "This is interesting!" right now, so if you just don't dissuade them and leave them be, you'll get to see lots of interesting stuff in the future.

Regarding AI Kiritan, there will always be people standing at the ready when a new technology appears, but it was the same way with Miku too, y'know. I'd know. 'Cause I'm a Vocaloid old-timer!!

February 24th, 2020

The more concrete situations you include in lyrics, the more I think you get away from the parts that everyone can associate with, but I really like songs that can regardless of this have portrayals so realistic, it's like you can touch them...

I want to depict raw reality, but it's a little too raw as-is, so I think this song came about by projecting raw reality onto fantasy. As a trial run at that approach, this song is dead serious, got it??? A creepy old guy's always dead serious.

I mean, I get called a creepy old guy a lot because these are pervy lyrics, but when you're in love, it's completely natural to wanna have intimate contact with your partner, and wouldn't it be more unnatural to exclude that??? Anything goes in fantasy, but I think the world I want to depict is reality...

Ultimately, they don't teach you in school what love is, or how you should love each other, and between girls especially, you don't know what you're supposed to do, but smiling and saying to enjoy that together and search for something that suits the two of us, isn't Rin-chan cute????

I talk a ton about Whale Rider, but in the second verse, I really like the lyrics that are like "Nobody will teach us a model love or way of loving, so let's fumble around and explore, you and I"...

Whaddya mean tomorrow? It's today... My sense of time's messed up... [It's 5:23 AM.]

I really like the sense that Kiritan is cheerfully singing the :whale: lyrics while definitely not understanding them...

I finished it, so I'll throw it on Fanbox tomorrow! Kiritan Rider!

Champion. :trophy: #AIKiritan

Me 13 years ago: "Wait just a little for me to finish up, so I can say it to you: from my heart, I love you"
Me now: "Told with a playful bite, an "I love you" that can't be voiced"

If you think about it, a poem you wrote 13 years ago spreading far and wide and sticking around is an incredible situation, and there's some awkwardness to it, but I'm super super grateful that it's loved like that... That's what I think, so from my heart, I love you... (one-liner)

[Retweeting Miracle Paint lyrics:] They're nostalgic and embarrassing lyrics, but I think they're pretty! Miracle Paint!

I'm really happy about gaining more Fanbox supporters today... I'm thinking I'll make a full version of Whale Rider and toss it on there. :folded hands:

My songs are all doujinshi, so...

Luka-san feeling like her thinking about eye contact will be seen through and fidgeting for no reason, feeling like her feelings are written on her forehead and thus always hiding her heart with her bangs, is also super cute... The girls living in my songs are all too cute... I'm grateful to the world...

The Rin-chan in OSTER's songs is so cute I can't even... That Rin-chan who was like ""I'll take you back home," you told me, so I laughed "thank you," but really I was about to cry" is so cute I can't even...

Waiting for an AI Rin-chan to be developed...

Check out the original song tooooo!
[VOCALOID] Whale Rider [Kagamine Rin]

Considering a Kiritan song for my next CD...

I just made adjustments to the sheet music, and didn't touch the notes at all. Such tremendous ability...

Had her sing! She's super good and cute... :hearts: :hearts: :hearts: I was lazy and didn't write a key-change, lol #AIKiritan

Everyone kindly pointing out mistakes and things to reference regarding my lecture videos helps me learn too, so I'm truly grateful, and it makes me want to make more. Thank you.

Okay! Gonna mess with Kiritan today.

Sure enough, making theory videos is hard when you haven't properly studied theory. (obvious)

I'm so used to reading b5's that I completely overlooked this...! I guess you just have to specially remember b5, huh.

RT @phanta_stick Excuse me, can I ask a question? If C(#9) is a C chord + D, why is Cm7(b5) not a Cm7 chord + G, but instead changing the G in a Cm7 chord to Gb?

Getting likes like this so consistently, I can really feel the demand for lecture videos...

[Retweeting the chord reading lecture:] 3000 likes! :folded hands:

An artist who can make ice bloom... If you can make ice bloom, then make my heart bloom too...

You need all sorts of techniques to become a pro these days, and I feel like there's more and more people who never properly studied music at school but have to do it on the spot, so I'll be happy if I can be of some aid with the things I struggled with...

Rotating them around is seriously important... Even chords that look complicated at a glance becomes clear to see with some work. A lot of the time, there's generally a core C or Cm-shaped guy (triad??) with some stuff stuck onto it...

I have zero music knowledge, so whenever I had to make chord scores, I went "I don't understand my own songs' chords!" and did my best to learn them. But for me, the task of reverse-engineering the chords from the notes I put in is basically rotating them around until it takes the shape of C-E-G, then counting what number notes are stuck together!

[Retweeting the chord reading lecture:] Please watch the video I uploaded yesterday! :folded hands:

I like people who like themselves.

Isn't it significant when current fashion and the clothes that suit you match up? You can wear that sporty over-size stuff that's been popular since last year even if you're big, so I wanna wear it while it's popular...

And ultimately, whenever I see synths on sale, I buy synths again... Send me news on clothes sales too... A Native Instrument one-piece... A Spectrasonics spring coat... Oogh, my head...

It's hard to deal with a life where I can't enjoy outings due to my health... I wanna go on walks...

Lately, all I'm buying is synths, but I wanna buy cute clothes and go out looking cute sometimes... Dammit!

I uploaded the flat five one!
Casually Explaining Flat Fives With Minimal Music Theory #3

Most sus4s are like Eve asking you "Do you know how I'm feeling right now?", aren't they??? Cute, huh??

Eve's a cutie.

I gave it a quick mention in the video, but I wanna make a #9 explanation sooooon!! A chord where Eve's emotions are all mixed up between cheerful and gloomy... A chord that sounds fun yet sad, so you can't stop crying.

Let's look at the video and review the composite notes! It's the protag, best bud, gloomy Eve, and the note B.

Because of this calling B a major seventh thing, you get chords like CmM7 (C minor major seventh), where you're not sure if it's minor or major...

I learned it as "This isn't the main thing, but I digress," which is the exact opposite meaning...

Hey wait, I still haven't thrown the flat five video on YouTube... I'll do that later, so just wait.

I think this should let you read the majority of chords... Definitely refer to it if you're like "Chords make no sense to me!"... :folded hands:

I made a chord-reading lecture for people who don't really get music theory, by a people who doesn't really get music theory.
Previous videos here. #OSTERExplains #Dominowns

Managed to make it home alive, so I'll make a video.

For about six months now, because of my illness, going out feels like I'm making up my mind every time, but it just feels good outside...

Wanted to go check on the plum blossoms... (old-timer)

Procured a godly song, so I'm calling it okay for me to go on a walk.

I created a godly song...

I want someone to do the hard parts of digital music in my place, and I want someone to pay taxes in my place, and I want someone to live and die in my place.

Understanding less the more you learn is kinda like that one thing. The "I understand completely" curve.

The more I learn about the different kinds of people there are, the more I become a madwoman who doesn't understand people's feelings at all and goes "Were you injured?! Are you okay?! Does it hurt?! Does it feel good?! Are you sad?! Are you happy?! Is it painful?! Does it feel like you're living?! How do you feel?!"

Thinking of people's feelings is super hard. Because how people think about things differs. I think people good at considering others' feelings know a lot of different patterns for how people think, and can quickly judge which of that massive number of patterns applies to the person they're talking to now.

The conclusion of the Friendship sequel is already set, so I might write about it on Fanbox once I start making it...

I'm sure Rin-chan realizes herself that she's bluffing. But if she were unable to be with her anymore just because they can't have the same "like," she's afraid that would make the feeling of liking her a lie... I know all about Rin-chan's feelings.

My personal tragedy point in Friendship is how saying "my friend who I always loved" at the end sounds like saying goodbye... I love Friendship... When's the Friendship-specific event...?

There's been many people who've actually experienced a situation like the Friendship lyrics, but since everyone together had their heart deeply wounded, I can think of the song as a success... (emotional terrorist)

I've got so much I wanna do, time's living me behind... Hold up, a day is too short...

My ears hurt from wearing headphones too much.

As many times as I think about it, the thrashing legs are just from swimming. How wholesome...

Thrashing legs...

Want to be invincible.

Organizing a championship of "words that have a nostalgic sound but that doesn't mean replacement words exist."

There's a lot of words with kind of a nostalgic feel like "panty shot" and "image change," but it's not like there exist any replacements for them, so you just gotta use them, huh?

Could it be "panty shot" is a dead word???

Grade-schooler: "I saw her panties!"
High-schooler: "What a brat, getting stimulated by a panty shot, lol"
Me in my 30's: "Huh? Aren't panty shots the most arousing thing?"

Representing eros with combinations of wholesome words is my eternal homework.

[Jun: "When I got nude, I tripped and my womanly body became slim, hop!"]
Really pushing that womanly body you got.

Being forgotten is scary, isn't it...

Don't know if my head hurts because I cried too much, or because I drank whiskey.

I've become an emotionally unstable woman who watches Remember Me at 3 AM and cries hard enough to get a headache.

I'm currently making a song not to make you smile, but to make you sob.

[Toro: "When thighs touch, I hear your heart pounds, and it feels nice and warm."]
Yeah.

[Toro: "When I'm cleaning, sometimes I find lost shorts and stuff, meow."]
Like behind the washing machine.

[Jun: "I heard Meiko-san is actually a getting nude celebrity! What a shocker!"]
Tearing off a tight dress and getting nude?

[Jun: "When I'm talking to you, OSTER, it makes me wanna talk lots about greetings, hop! I hear lots of kids these days don't say "I love you"! That's no good..."]
It gets harder to say the older you get, after all.

I want a new body.

Follower D: (Does this imply the existence of an OSTER-san A and B...?)
You know too much... (Origin of OSTER-san)

Follower A: (When does OSTER-san sleep...?)
Follower B: (When does OSTER-san sleep...?)
OSTER-san C: (When does OSTER-san sleep...?)

A game where you endure hell to talk to Jun...

This last batch of Toro Puzzle added stages feels like it's making the orchard even more hellish than usual...

I want to be able to make songs like OSTER-san too... (????)

An OSTER-feel to surpass OSTER.

AAAA's songs are too good...

Boobs.

I feel like making a big band song every time I hear one, but that's an entrance to arrangement hell...

Let's all dream about girls together... Hey... Come to OSTER's music...

I'm tired of hearing "girls are scary" or "they're not that pretty." In my world, girls are cute, strong, and beautiful... What's wrong with girls dreaming about girls...

I'll continue to put my girl feelings out into the world on perverse music. :Tokyo Tower:

It's true!!!!! Girls being girls!!! I love it... (confession)

RT @hiyako_rakugaki I love women fully affirming themselves as women. I've realized recently that girls being girls is sacred.

RT @hiyako_rakugaki OSTER project has cute yuri songs, and cool lady songs, and wonderful girl songs, and it's all the best and greatest. Unforgettable content.

There was a time I had a bit of a complex over not going to music college to properly study theory, but that didn't mean I went back to college or studied theory independently. So in the end, I'm just a lazybones, but it's a good thing to carry on as a lazybones.

I bet if I'd studied theory it wouldn't have taken 20 years to get there, but it worked alright for me!!!!!!!

The more theoretically advanced things you do, the more you lose catchiness, but learning those techniques is like acquiring more paints you can use. You gain options for what colors you can use, and your songs become more brilliant. And there's more fun in putting it together...

I'm sure in its own way, though, that's easy to listen to as pop.

Back when I made Miracle Paint, I still didn't know anything, so it's not that jazzy and the notes are too clean, so people even told me it sounded classical. Years later, I've finally learned how to build energy...

I clear it out by feel, then learn what kind of name it has after the fact.

People probably can't tell, but my definition of "my sound" is constantly changing for me, and I feel it getting more and more wild lately... I dunno how to describe it, though, since I dunno theory...

Just wait... I'll make a godly song...

Just being sick saps my motivation, but if I blame that on my health, I won't be able to do anything...

Gonna make a song today! Doin' it, doin' it, doin' it.

February 19th, 2020

The word "like" can be a sly word that leaves an escape by not being clear about what kind of "like" it is... Yes, very good...

I think the pinnacle of yuri is the unique distance between two girls, and Friendship is a song about just that; as friends, saying they like each other, walking arm in arm, sharing shampoo and accessories is something only girls can do. It's because there's that distance that trouble arises.

I believe in the religion of stanning specific pairings the stronger the reasoning for why the two of them had to be that two.

Friendship uses half-diminisheds from every angle, so maybe this suffices as a half-diminished lecture video.

Listen to my tragic yuri song...
[VOCALOID] Friendship [Kagamine Rin]

I had a conference with a friend about making a Friendship sequel, so I'm sure I can make it...

Make a Friendship sequel already.

Wanna make a tragic yuri song... Tragic yuri song...

Bloom Into You is Yuu-chan's story, and it's Touko-chan's story, and it's Sayaka-chan's story, and in this story that has just begun, I want to know more about your world, now I grasp onto those fingers I've touched by mere chance -

I've had countless viewings of Bloom Into You with friends, but I'm always shouting, and become a spoiling hectopascal... But it's impossible to watch that anime without making a peep...

I love the track meet episode of Bloom Into You so much, I wanna enroll at Toomi Higashi High School... Or I want to get hired as a mat at the gym... Someone, turn me into a mat...

Nwaaaaah, I didn't make it in tiiiiime!! Touko-chaaaaan, happy birthday and rise!!!!! #BloomIntoYou #ToukoNanamiBirthday2020 #Dominowns

You should watch Madoka Magica up to the part where Madoka becomes a Puella Magi.

Watch Bloom Into You... At least up to the scene where Yuu-chan tells Touko-chan as she's nodding off "it's your transfer"...

Posting the MIDI data for my lecture videos feels pretty close to creator-type content, but I wonder if there's much demand...

Tell me if there's any Fanbox content you'd like to see!! As long as it's possible in terms of practical cost and it being treated as a privilege, I'd like to implement it...

Gratefully, my supporter count on Fanbox has passed 50!! I'm so happyyyyy... :crying: :crying: :crying: I'll keep doing my best making lecture videos and original songs! :coffee: :cooked rice: :cow: :curry and rice: :steak: :fire: :steak: :sparkles: :fire:

I'm embarrassed of the songs I made in high school and college, so I'm giving them a limited release on Fanbox. :folded hands:

A song from 2004. 16 years ago... Scary...

The 7/11 cafe lattes aren't sweet if you don't add sweetener, and the coffee smell and cream density is perfect...

I usually buy the cafe lattes you get from the machines at 7/11, but when I went late at night, the machine was being worked on...

Me, clever, picking a cafe latte at the convenience store: "Many of the cafe lattes sold in plastic bottles and cans are sweet. I should try my best to pick a brand name with packaging that looks less sweet. Okay, this one looks like it's not too swEEEEEEEEEET!!!!!" (it was sweet)

If giving kindness satisfies that person, and also satsifies me as a result, that's the ultimate win-win. So even if I'm living for myself, I want to form relationships with that structure and enrich my life...

[Continuing from "When I think about kindness":] To get into this more, in my case, it might not be the act of being kind to someone itself, but the person being happy I was kind to them that satisfies me... Maybe that's also why I sometimes want to make people laugh with jokes... The other person being satisfied feels like a recognition of my own existence.

Though wait, shouldn't I be using realizations like this for lyrics? What am I saying them here for? It's like a huge oil spill over here...

I think interacting with others can let you understand those structures for the first time, and figure out what you want to do. Though I'm sure it depends on the person...

Virtues and models can quietly strangle people who don't fit into those values. That's why you need the self-confidence to go "Shaddup! Who cares!" and reject them, and that takes someone else recognizing your values, so it's a relief when people do.

It's okay to live for yourself, and it's your life, so I think it's the most natural to live that way, in fact. Since there's an atmosphere of "having someone more important to you than yourself" being a virtue, it can make you think that it's wrong to think of yourself first.

When I think about kindness, I worry about whether kindness with the motive of feeling satisfied yourself is really kindness, but then I think that if kindness were strictly categorized like that, it would remove all kindness from the world, so I always stop thinking about it there.

I love people who work hard toward their dreams. I'm sure it's probably because affirming their way of life is also affirming my own way of life. I want to always do my best, and I want to dream.

My pasta is very delicious. :spaghetti:

Today I used the kitchen at my friend's house to make us food, and had super cute matching earrings made for me, which filled up my youthfulness gauge a ton, so I'm sure I can make another youthful song!! Life!! :smiling: :smiling: :smiling: :smiling: :smiling:

It got me thinking it might not be a bad idea to make a basic chord-reading video or something to make it so more people can enjoy these.

It's fun seeing people who are like "This video's easy to understand!" and others who are like "Don't have a clue!" and others who are like "Don't get it, but it's fun to watch!"

Don't they not seem to sell falsies much lately??? They might be in vogue, but it's worrying... Should I just go to Don Quixote...?

Lately, thick falsies have stopped fitting me, which I guess must be age... No, no, no, thinking that just makes you older, so stop it!! Dumbass!!

[Retweeting flat five lecture] I made a video yesterday! Look, look, look!
