I kinda want things like this to contribute to my lyrics. Making my lyrics more and more real... Even though they were so fantasy-esque before...
Maybe I grew up stupidly honest because of a blessed environment. I'm grateful for it, but because I grew up stupidly honest, I couldn't understand the thought processes of someone on the opposite end of the spectrum for a long time. Maybe I still can't.
You're taught not to do to others what you wouldn't want done to you, but they don't teach you that doing something you like to others won't necessarily them make happy, do they?? For instance, I'm happy when people say they like me, but I was shocked to learn that only people who enough self-confidence can honestly accept such a compliment.
I finally understand now how if you don't interact with a variety of people and learn about other ways of thinking, you won't notice your own biases and irregularities. I'm slow to pick things up, so it took a lot of time.
There's so much I'm still in the midst of learning about humans even after turning 30, so I'll probably die still not understanding half of it. Humans have way too many ways of thinking and living. Humans are amazing.
Modesty can be seen as a virtue, but excessive modesty can hurt those around you, so you have to always stay in a state of neither pride nor modesty.
And saying "I don't have any friends" pushes aside those who thought they were your friends, so you shouldn't say that either. But sometimes I do feel unbearably isolated and alone in the world, so it's hard.
When you say "the likes of me" about yourself, it tramples on the goodwill of people who like you, so you shouldn't say it.
Support the existence of people who look up to the likes of you.
Ahh! How vulgar! What a vulgar taste! Spectacular!
You often hear people say "what a refined taste" after eating something, but they never say "what a vulgar taste," huh?

You read too much doujinshi.
When you make music yourself, you get the privilege of hearing your own new songs before anyone else. What a fantastic privilege it is.
No matter how intense of an OSTER fan you are, no one is more well-versed in OSTER songs than I.
I'm getting the notion that people who tell me "this is my favorite OSTER song" don't actually know every OSTER song. (preparing to give a presentation recommending songs based on their taste)
"Nude karaoke" just has the sound of a thing that would exist, like standing pubs.

Requesting to have this shut down.
When you're a suuuuuper beautiful woman, then much like Uniqlo being worn by somebody cool, your every action becomes artful, which is one reason why I would like to become a beautiful woman.
Don't you ever wanna become a suuuuuper beautiful woman and eat yakitori at a pub and drink beer and go to a traditional local bath house?
What doesn't kill you makes you stronger... Which means any injury that doesn't make you stronger will kill you. [Or translating the Japanese idiom literally: "Anything other than death is just a scratch, so infliction of anything but a scratch means death."]
Isn't telling someone who had something mean said to them "you're famous, so these things'll happen" a lot like telling someone who was groped "you're attractive, so these things'll happen"???
I wish the term "the price of fame" [specifically "tax" in Japanese] would disappear. After all, a tax is for the public benefit, and something you pay as compensation for living in an area, but what value does putting up with slander and abuse offer that person?

Even if you supposedly like the same thing, there can be a surprising difference in what about it people like, and I'm absolutely in a minority... Feels kinda lonely.
"Music is a universal language" just feels like such a lie to me... I have every confidence I wouldn't be able to strike a conversation with someone living in my neighborhood who says they like music.
Don't disrespect people who like things you don't like.
"When coronavirus ends"??
No, that's not it.
It's "when coronavirus is ended."

My mask finally arrived. [Screenshot of a face mask from Nook Shopping arriving in the mail in Animal Crossing.]
I know that's because I always prefer unstable chords that are like "Is this okay?", but still.
I feel like the subtle chord progressions I often use show their true worth when heard with headphones, and if played in a place with too much echo, they'd fall apart.
I eventually learned the fun of jamming out in a concert hall together as an adult, and I have sometimes aimed to make songs that would pump up a concert crowd. But my headphoned art-appreciating style of many years has definitely gotten in the way of those notions at times, and I now regret not going to more concerts when I was younger.
Music to me was never something for everyone to jam out to in a super-loud concert hall, but an amusement where you sit in your room wearing headphones and fully experience the beauty, like appreciating a work of art. I'm sure that stance has and will continue to greatly influence my composing style...
For me, drums are probably the hardest part of making rhythm. Maybe it's that I can't get too fussy with them, or that I don't really get ideas for them... It's my weakness...
[Sora: "You can't use your crotch on something like that, ya..."]
You sweet summer child.
@fuwacina If you're so bad at mixing, then don't keep adding notes.
I hope they implement a Nook Stop function to convert from Bells to yen.
If you don't have money, you can't even buy your own life. Money is the foundation of everything you can gain from there, so you at least need money to buy things after all. End of explanation.
There certainly may be things money can't buy, but I think most things in the world are "things you need money to buy."
I want to tell this to all young people. Life isn't all about money. The most important thing in life is cash.
Oh no! It's the end of the line for my trusty flimsy human...
My theory is that 70% of people who say they like neat and tidy people just like the disparity when someone neat and tidy is being lewd.

I'm sure theory super comes in handy for taking a closer look at this and organizing things neatly... I say, still not studying it.
And when you make songs by feel and use your ears to judge, you can't tell if it's muddy or emo, so making fancy songs is hard and wears at your nerves.
To put it in simple terms for those who don't make music, if you use the sounds that make up fancy chords just right, it sounds super fancy, but if you make a misstep, it just sounds grody, which is what makes them hard to use. I'll sum it up in a video sometime if I have time.
A stylish song quickly becomes muddy with one wrong step.
Just like how artists worry "I dunno if the perspective here is right..." when they're drawing, music creators worry "I dunno if this part is muddy..." when they're making music.
Maybe some of it is bias in the works I've consumed, but I don't get much of a moe feeling from master-servant relationships, and desire equal relationships instead...
My brain is glitching out due to quarantine, so I'm fantasizing about Miku-chan, Rin-chan, and me driving to the shopping mall and looking at accessories and clothes together and eating in the food court and taking selfies together...
I just want to be normal, equal-footing friends with Miku-chan and Rin-chan.
This is gonna sound gross, but I'm a dreamer girl who doesn't want Miku-chan and Rin-chan to call me "Master," but my real name plus "-chan."
[Jun: "I hear people who like being told "good girl" are unsatisfied people who want to grab chests! For real?"]
For real.
[Jun: "It's Sunday, hop. I guess it might be good sometimes to forget about paying taxes and thoroughly indulge in napping."]
I can't fully explain with words the sensations I have when I listen to music, and there's no guarantee we'll even feel similar ways listening to the same thing, but nevertheless, I release my strongest fetishism into the world through songs...
I wanted to say that I like chords that aren't merely doing something unusual, but also have a sense of meaning, but to my chagrin, my lack of knowledge meant I couldn't concretely explain what I meant at all... Jazzy stuff? What even is the music I like.
Music is made of a bunch of elements, and I'm sure different people listen to and like different parts, but I've always had an abnormal fetishism for chords that led to making songs like these.
Thanks to my illness that kills me if I'm not doing something weird, I might not be able to make songs like my old ones anymore.
I'm steadily becoming unable to make normal songs...
If you tighten the noose around others, it's your neck it's gonna tighten around in the end.
I have a song called Tapioca New Year, and beneath the pretense of just being a silly song, this is basically what it's saying. Recognizing differences isn't for other people's sake, it can make life easier for you too.
I kind of can't trust someone who'd witness someone else's happiness and say out loud "that's strange" or "that's wrong"... Even if their definition of happiness differs from yours, you're not them, so what the hell else can you say but "I guess you are happy"?
The moment someone tries to judge whether another person's happiness is good or bad, I'm always like "Do you need someone's permission to live happily? What kind of person has the right to give that permission? And what do they matter to me?"
Man, I really feel that lately, lol... I wanna treasure the people who listen...
[Retweets a comic about Miku. When Miku shows up, people take notice - but when she announces she's here to sing a new song, they lose interest and leave. However, a few excited fans remain, which encourages her.]
Don't you ever get Clint Eastwood and Vivienne Westwood mixed up?!
Since I've done programming in that way, when using After Effects, I rack my brain trying to make things as easy as possible with Expressions.
MIDI inputting can also be considered programming in a broad sense.
And with that intense preface out of the way, I'll finally express my values: I prefer big boobs.
If you're too afraid of being disliked, you'll hold yourself back for protection. When I think about whether someone who lived like that to their grave would've had a happy life, my self-control-hating self is like "Nooooo!"
There are as many sets of values as there are people, so showing your own values creates opportunites for others to think "that's not for me." However, it also makes opportunities for people to agree. I think it can probably be worthwhile to present yourself just the right amount. That's social media for you.
Despite knowing that whenever I state any kind of opinion, some will like it and some won't, there are moments where as a human I can't help wanting to speak my thoughts. Which is the opinion I just stated.
With unkempt hair due to staying home and being unable to visit a beauty parlor, wearing absolutely no makeup and loungewear from Uniqlo, I'm making a song with off-the-charts girl power.
It's good to like yourself for endeavoring to like yourself.
I have an incredible interest in myself, so I could name 100 things I like and 100 things I dislike.
Whenever I see someone making fun of others for saying they like themselves, my mind wanders wondering what's fun about a life where you can't like yourself. It's fun if you can like yourself, try it.
[Jun: "It'll work out, hop. Your luck today is "unlucky," bun! It's a certain white cat [Toro]'s birthday today, hop! I wonder if he'd be happy if we went girl-eating together..."]
You should refrain from wording it like that.
I don't think it's kindness to be self-deriding and put other people before yourself. If you're kind, ya gotta include yourself in the list of people to be kind to.
Can't they just abolish the system of age and let everybody be high school girls? Like, LOL.
Also, no matter how old I get, I'll never call myself an "old fart" 'til I'm in the grave... Calling other people that is outrageous as it is, but using it for yourself ends up including and dissing others too, so don't carelessly say negative words like that. Well, but I'm still in high school, so I don't need to worry about that for a while yet.
Calling yourself a "fatty" can hurt people who weigh more than you, so I'm a beautiful supermodel born of sympathetic feelings.
The composer grows the veggies, the arranger cooks them, and it goes on the plate the lyricist made. If you do all that yourself, 'course it'll be exhausting. I'm doing all that myself, so I'm exhausted.
Delicious vegetables can be super delicious on their own, but the range of flavors can be vastly broadened through cooking. Wanna have pie?
If anyone ever asks what the job of an arranger is, I think the best way to put it is that if a composer is someone who grows vegetables, an arranger is someone who cooks vegetables.
It's Air Comiket Day 3 ["virtual" Comiket, essentially], so I'm taking part with my cosplay of air.
It's not like there's a rule against going outside without making or anything, sure... But people get lazy if they're not given impetus.
I'm gonna forget how to use makeup soon...
[Jun: "Okay, let's pervy yuri together!"]
You make it sound like you're going to grab a snack...
["CONGRATULATIONS! Cleared Puzzle Level 800!"]
I'm getting work done. Good for me.
When I start thinking about the loneliness of humans, it makes me want to flap my limbs around and whine about the unreasonable nature of living in this world, so I try to avert my eyes as much as possible.
Words aren't tools that can represent feelings exactly either, so even with the best communication currently available to humanity, humans are outrageously alone. This is getting heavy, so I'm gonna stop. Wonder if my boobs can get heavy.
Though it's because of that looseness that I'll be eternally fighting against the worry of no one agreeing with what I think is beautiful.
Of course the tone is important, but I'd have to say I put emphasis on the feeling of the chords and phrases... Though even within that, there's a lot of sensations I can't possibly explain but just kinda like. What's neat about art is how it takes individual sensitivities as input, so the standards are incredibly loose.
Even if I say I like fancy songs, there are all sorts of elements it could be, like the tone, or the lyrics, or the style, so just saying I like fancy songs alone might not get across what I mean at all.

RT @zhelobok #OSTERsMostGeniusLyrics They're all so good that I can't name just one, but... There are a lot of her lyrics that make me glad to be a girl!! :ribbon:
I'm sorry for planting bombs in all of your memories.
Maybe if it weren't for the second chorus lyrics, the bitter medicine and painful injections would just be taken literally, but I'm sorry to say that song is nothing but metaphors.
I sometimes get people telling me they didn't realize it listening to my songs long ago, but listening to them again as adults, they're like "these are some wild lyrics, huh." That's right, everyone's become adults. That's what becoming an adult is.
Love Ward is a pretty lusty lover-stealing story, but the parts that make it seem like a cute song get you feeling like you were unwittingly fed poison!
Whale Rider and Dolphin Jet comic when?
I'd say the perviest part of Dolphin Jet is "try checking the switch," but what do you think?
If I tried to give a serious explanation of Dolphin Jet, I feel like my account would be locked, so I'll take my Dolphin Jet explanation to the grave.
