You might be thinking "If you like them that much, go make a song about boobs!", but I already have.

Even if you're ready to collapse from your wounds,
Don't look away from the beauty you believe in

Isn't it cool to consistently stick with the things you like? From birth to death, happily committed to loving boobs - is that not a beautiful love story?

Will I safely become a toe fetishist by the time I'm old? Isn't an old person with a toe fetish maybe a bit wild?

Hold on, I don't get what you're saying.

There's a weird theory that those who like boobs are kids, and the body parts you're attracted to move lower with age. But it's fine for adults to like Hamburg steak and Naporitan, right? Stick a flag in that cleavage. :Japanese flag: Here's your older-lady's meal, ma'am! :woman dancing:

When Siri gives me a weird response, I want to reply "How Siri-metsuretsu [incoherent]," but I don't have those kinds of conversations with Siri in the first place, and I like Mune [breasts] more than Siri [butts].

I don't have the ability to calculate 1024^3 just like that.

I'm the person who says things like "1 GB isn't 1 billion bytes, it's 1024^3 bytes."

When I'm not, I'm a beautiful older lady.

I'm a beautiful girl only when I'm making music.

RT @newariaimus When I'm listening to OSTER project-san's songs with earbuds, I feel like I become a beautiful girl.
I super get this...

Beer, women, women, and women.

My world is made of meat, beer, and sleep.

I want someone to make a system where 10 yen is provided from a fourth-dimensional source for every like you get.

My mouse also has five strings.

The people who play my songs all have 5 strings on their bass.

I feel like year by year, my songs' basslines become more vile.

I'm always thinking about what it means to compare atmospheric temperature and body temperature since solids and gases have different thermal conductivity.

I'll have an announcement very soon, so please please please please please look forward to it.

This month's busy!! Busy is a good thing!!

August 9th, 2020

This was a while ago, but I remember YouTube's form to take down unauthorized reuploads being a huge hassle that made me put in a bunch of personal information... I wonder if it's still like that?

The unauthorized prodigy who was born as a prodigy without God's permission.

Can I prove that I'm not a recently-created perfect copy who's had the memories of a human named OSTER implanted in her? Am I really the original?

I'm the original... No matter what anyone says, I'm the original...

I want to upload my older songs to YouTube, but I'm hesitating out of the fear that there are already reposts and I'll be the one deemed as infringing on copyright... Isn't this world so cruel?

I make a lot of cute things, so I want to be forgiven for my daily life being somewhat crude.

[Jun: "Oh, huh. I wanted to talk passionately about nude women with you, OSTER, but I guess I'll hold off..."]
She's watching my Twitter.

#KKOSTER

Ma'am! Please take off your clothes! You shouldn't be doing that, ma'am! Get nude! Please, get nude! Ahh! Ma'am!!

Um, hey, I just realized something wild, but aren't public baths amazing? They're the sole place you're encouraged to be nude in front of others? And in fact, you'll get yelled at if you're wearing clothes in front of someone, isn't that amazing?

Mitchie-san's songs are so good it's a problem.

Maji-Magic!!!!!

emon-san's songs are so good it's a problem.

My resolve to keep stuffing my songs full of augs has grown more firm.

I'm glad I was born as a Vocaloid producer... :crying:

This live band's wild!!!! My song's chords are nuts.

WHOAAAAAAAAAA I THREW A LEEEEEEK MIKU-SAAAAAAAAAAN!!!!

[After retweeting a tweet about "Untitled 0," an online Hatsune Miku concert for NicoNico Chokaigi 2020] I'm prepared to throw a leek when my songs come up.

I watched that "It Comes" movie everyone's talking about, and seriously, humans are 5 billion times scarier than ghosts, it was hell.

August 8th, 2020

I am the K.K. Idol.

Listen to my Bubblegum K.K.

To completely nerd out a bit, I love all the songs in Wave Race 64, and the mix for the song in the Port Blue course was updated a bit in the version with Rumble Pak support, and I always wanted to bring up how I liked the old version better, but it's so niche I know no one would understand. [For the record, the Rumble Pak version was only released in Japan, so you likely would've heard the original version, and it's most likely what you'll find online.]

Besides Bubblegum K.K., I like K.K. Disco. Isn't that part that reminds you of the Wave Race 64 Dolphin Park song great? Totaka-san's songs are the greatest...

I worked hard to write out the chords, but sorry if they're wrong.

I did an all-out arrangement of Bubblegum K.K. from the Animal Crossing series and had my Vocaloids sing it. :bunny: :bunny:
I do hope you'll listen, yes, yes!!!
YouTube / NicoNico
#Dominowns #AnimalCrossingNewHorizons #AnimalCrossing

Well but anyway I'm going to upload the video I've been working hard on today so watch it please thank you.

I can't keep up with the flow of time... Yikes, help me.

Whose idea was it to finish a whole week of August without my permission?

I messed up the chords displayed by the fully manual chord-display system... (because it's manual)

This video features a fully manual chord-display system, but it was incredibly hard, so it's a mystery whether I'll do it again in the future.

An announcement: I'm uploading the Bubblegum K.K. arrangement video today at 7 PM!

That's exactly why it's super difficult to give something a person says they like as a gift, and why I always end up going with them to pick something.

Plus you have to keep looking for them yourself.

The way your fondness for the things you like causes you to get really particular about them and makes it so you don't like anything anymore... Liking can be a cruel feeling sometimes.

However cute the sound is, however bouncy the rhythm, if there aren't any half-diminisheds, it's not OSTER-like.

August 7th, 2020

But unfortunately, it's because I suffer myself that I can feel good later.

I want someone else to make my videos and make my songs and make my meals and work and pay taxes and live and die for me...

Seriously, it was all manual, so it was super exhausting.

Watching the speed these chords change at makes me realize there's no way my songs could be played on ukulele...

I created a fully manual chord-display system, so I'm dead tired. [Preview of scrolling chords from upcoming video]

Exactly like you'd suggest going to the store.

[Jun: "Oh, 12:51, huh? Well, should we pervy yuri?" (Pervy yuri? / Huh?)]
Way too crude of an invitation.

About two weeks after starting ukulele, the ends of the fingers on my left hand are indented.

I'm doing my best to upload a video tomorrow, so cheer me on.

[Jun: "When I'm talking to you, OSTER, it makes me wanna talk lots about badminton, hop! Are you the type who can fall right asleep whenever you want to? (Definitely not right away / In about 10 seconds)"]
Their incoherency scares me sometimes.

I want to die having lived going "Wahahaaa!" from beginning to end.

When I drink with others, I'm all "Wahahaaa!!", but when I drink alone, I'm all "Sniff... sob... :sniffle: :sniffle:", so I'm a super bothersome woman, but I think I'm glad it's not the other way around.

I want someone to say to me "Let's make this summer a special one."

August 6th, 2020

Even if I get all prettied up with makeup and increase my girl power, when it's time to wear cute Gelato Pique comfort wear, I'm makeupless... It's a cruel world.

Doesn't just hearing "slumber party" make you want to buy Gelato Pique pajamas?

I love the sound of the words "slumber party."

My understanding of how amplitude, period, and phase are represented in a simple trigonometric oscillation function proves super valuable when using After Effects expressions, so learning physics can lead to good things.

When I make characters' heads bob around in After Effects, they're being controlled by expressions using trigonometric functions, so it doesn't have that analog warmth when compared to manual keyframe animation, yeaaah! :peace sign:

People who say frozen gyoza is corner-cutting would probably get mad about people using functions in Excel for efficiency.

When you live more than 30 years, you see a ton of technological advances happen in front of you, and get sentimental about a lot of things diappearing at the same time.

I'd like to tremble with excitement in the future too, so please continue to innovate with delicious frozen foods.

When you no longer had to add water for the cooking process, even I was trembling... The way a warrior trembles with excitement before battle.

For real, if you haven't eaten frozen gyoza lately, you should absolutely try it. It's to die for.

Besides the graphics, the Toro Puzzle update changed the sound when you remove a chestnut.

[Pierre: "It really imrpoves the taste of women if you soak them in café au lait for a day, woof."]
Incredibly scary.

If there were a cooling pad like that, I'd want it really bad.

The Friend Shippu [cooling pad] sounds like a Doraemon tool that makes people friendly if you slap it on them.

I also like how "I can put up with just a little pain," with the passage of time, turns into "I have to put up with this amount of pain," I really love Friendship... My recommended yuri song...

"Horribly cruel and I love it" is a thing psychopaths say.

In Friendship, the fact that she's so close yet out of reach, but can smell the matching shampoo on her is so horribly cruel and I love it... [Image pointing out the "smell of your hair" and "matching shampoo" parts of the lyrics with crying emoji]

For a looong time, I thought "why am I so selfish?", but since feelings like wanting to make others happy, if you get down to it, are for your own satisfaction in doing so, I just went like "In that case, just let selfishness be the default!", and since then I've been okay with being selfish.

I'm the star of my own life!!!!!

Also, the star turned into "me."

I was singing 1.15 Million Kilometer Film from memory and ended up with around 3 cameramen. ["The song I'm about to sing is what's in my head / The star, of course, is you, / and I'm a supporting role, the director, and the cameraman / This is the movie being made on the film behind my eyes"]

If it were me, I'd want people to cry tons in front of my grave.

[Re: "OSTER, that brings me back, wonder what she's doing now" FAQ] Just noticed this is nearing 1000 likes and freaking out.

When you're stuck at home for months like this, it makes you wanna wear a yukata and go to a fireworks show... Wanna feel the cloth of a yukata touching my bare skin, the sounds echoing into the core of my body, the smell of firworks mixing into the lukewarm summer night air...

Making songs with Vocaloid is fun too, but I wanna have people's vocals, wanna make vocal songs... Vocals! I dunno if vocals can save the world, but they're saving me.

I still remember how the moment Tokiwa-san started singing, everyone in the control room got fired up...

When I got Tokiwa-san to sing for me, the fact I was talking with someone I super looked up to didn't feel real, but the second she got in the booth and started singing, I was like "Waaaaaaaaaahhh!!!! It's the real deaaaaal!!!!!!" I'm that kind of otaku.

RT @yutokiwa [Re: Labradorite] When recording this song, it was my literal first meeting with OSTER-san herself (we didn't even communicate over email or anything), so I remember I was full of excitement going to the studio, but then it looked like they were going to immediately take me to the booth to start recording, so I was like "whaaa?" and stopped them and forced my way into talking with her. :smiling face:

August 5th, 2020

I want the ability to go to sleep freely when I want to sleep. [Posted at 4:46 AM]

Living people are amazing. I've never lived before, so I dunno how to.

Finished a song.

[Jun: "The world exists for major minor sevenths."]
Biased education.

The things that have always supported my life are non-essential things, so they're not non-essential to me.

The proper response to coronavirus. [Retweets "When you're thirsty, apparently it's effective to gargle dry highballs, mya."]

I'm starving for non-essential affection.

Changing positions is way too difficult????

First day after starting ukulele → My fingertips on both hands hurt, stroking's impossible...
Fifth day after starting ukulele → Left fingertips hurt, right nails are looking bad, I can't even
Tenth day after starting ukulele → Left hand's feeling pretty okay but my right wrist hurts ← I am here

[Jun (off to the side of Level 1210): "Life is tragic."]
She's started to say stuff.

:thinking face: Homosexuals

Happy new year! Here's to 2030!

I'm crying every day lately. Even today, I cried while cutting onions.

I'm a good kid, so I'm making dinner right after eating lunch.

August 4th, 2020

Even I can make people happy...

My Miku-Rin is cute, so look. [Retweeting the Miku-Rin "feeling cards" picture]

Rin-chan calls Miku-chan "anata" [neutral], Miku-chan calls Rin-chan "kimi" [affectionate]... And Rin-chan has an earnest love, while Miku-chan has a contrary love... This is it... This is my lesbian song

With this weird mood I'm in, I'll give a peek of the Friendship sequel's lyrics...

I was always aware of it,
The pain beneath your smile
I'm wondering, when did it begin?
When did we start changing from how we were?

Like it or not, everything shifts without ceasing
Of course I know that, and yet...
What am I so afraid of?

Whenever I say "we're so similar," you show me
Such an honest, happy, adorable smile - so why is it?
Why is it me, the one closest to you,
Who goes and destroys it?

Your true and honest love
Always gives me warmth,
Yet if I were to take that hand,
I felt like it would all crumble,
So I sunk my feelings into my chest...

Everyone's so nice... Sniff.

I never cried at all when I was a kid, and I stood my ground when it came to emotional stuff, but since becoming an adult I cry stupidly easily...

Thinking how if I give up, I won't be able to hear people who like me say "You've done well" anymore, makes me not wanna give up.

If you give up midway, it's over, so I want to do my best to not give up on things.

Crying made me forget about my rice and get all the way to bed before realizing... It's all over...

I'll cry lots and laugh lots and makes lotsa songs.

But I think I want to be a person who cries when touched by warm feelings.

I'm sure I'll reread them many more times in the future and cry.

How grateful am I that there are people who tell me with their words that the things I've been doing had meaning...

I was thinking I'd go out earlier, but I'm emotionally unstable, so I'm crying.

I cheer up rereading letters I've gotten.

I decided I'd eat shirasu-don for lunch tomorrow and bought some, and the mere thought of that shirasu-don being in the fridge gives me courage...

I hear "You were after my body? How awful!", but I don't hear "You were after my heart? How awful!" very often, why not?

August 3rd, 2020

When I see pervy lyrics written by others, I'm like "Dammit, it's pervy, they got me!" and feel the need to write more pervy lyrics.

I'm a middle-schooler, so I like writing pervy lyrics and yelling "it's pervy, it's pervy" with delight.

Though if you look at my Twitter wondering what I'm doing, considering I do stuff like upload a picture saying "B-district" with no comment, maybe people won't actually be able to tell what I'm doing???? [May have been a play on "bichiku," emergency reserves, but I'm not really sure, so, fair.]

Your back okay now? → No problem at all if I take it easy, but can get bad after standing or walking a long time
Your cat healthy? → Yes
What happened to the Friendship sequel? → I'll stream adding vocals tomorrow
What happened to Bubblegum K.K.? → The art's done, so I'll do my best to put together a video
What question is this? → I can't count higher than 3

Do you not publish old instrumentals anymore? → I release them sporadically on Fanbox
I wanna know your chords → I might start releasing them on Fanbox
Hey baby, where you live? → Tokyo Metropolitan area
You on LINE? → I am

OSTER, that brings me back, wonder what she's doing now... → Look at my Twitter
Wonder if OSTER's making instrumentals anymore... → Play rhythm games
Wonder if OSTER's making Vocaloid anymore... → Look at my YouTube
Wonder if OSTER's songs will go on karaoke... → People in high places, help

Thanks for celebrating me, everybody! :partying face: I'm gonna go search for mushrooms in the park again today! :mushroom:

August 2nd, 2020

The ability to focus on bad things is probably a self-defense mechanism, but because of that, a single drop of misfortune can totally blot out the existence of any good events or people who like me, that seems like a super huge bug, update when???

I get the feeling "happy people" are people good at forgetting bad things or pretending they didn't happen. I'm bad at that, and look at things super seriously to clear them out, so it honestly doesn't feel right to call me a happy kind of person. :eyeroll:

Though people say I'm a happy kind of person, I'm not really sure what happiness is. Ultimately, I feel like it depends on your feelings, no matter what environment you're in. It's a Happa-tai sort of thing.

The body's a prison for the spirit?! Thanks to that prison, I can enjoy tasty food again todayyy!! Long live prisoner life!! Long live prisoner life!! :raised hands:

:mosquito: ~ :clap:
Person Who Let A Mosquito Bigger Than Their Hand Get Away

Ack, mosquito. :clap:

Isn't it more like a Reiwa girl to be self-affirming rather than servile?? I'm so round-faced and cute~ :clap: I've got room for growth~ :clap:

I die every day and am born everyday, so every day's a happy birthday. :balloon:

I want everyone to celebrate me, so I want my birthday to come, but I don't wanna get older, so I want to be celebrated even though it's a totally non-special day. :birthday cake:

Get in the bath, get in the futon, get in the grave.

Please ready yourselves.

Maybe I'll make the chorus line and leave the vocals for a stream at a later date.

This Jump King game is super scary, don't come near me...

Creators are people who can do embarrassing things with a serious look! Yaaaaay!!

Does you all like this kind of thing? I'm sure you do. I've made the ultimate yuri song.

Finished the lyrics.

I'mma adolescent.

Hair getting caught in a necklace is in reality super annoying.

I shalt love lyrics like these until the day I die...
[Shampoo with the same smell, fine hair,
It gets caught in your necklace
Every time I try to get it out,
Our hearts become all the more tangled]

I often see people who are feeling under the weather, but I've never seen someone who's like "Ahh! I'm feeling perfectly healthy today! I'm so superbly healthy!"

I've got a human heart, so I cry a lot!!!!

This afternoon, I was watching Timon-D on TV and saw them cry while talking about their thoughts and cried a bunch.

I'm so deeply sensitive that I'm crying thinking about lyrics for the Friendship sequel.

In the moments they take "Don't really get it, but it's awesome" and try to understand it, humans advance.

2nd day drunker [From "two days drunk," a literal translation of the word for "hangover."]

August 1st, 2020

My cat isn't affectionate with me at all. Or maybe it is affectionate. Maybe it's a fault of mine that I can't accept it as affection if it isn't obviously so. What the heck, this hurts.

A cat won't do.

I'm an annoying drunk, so I want people to like me.

I like "hyperbolic tangent" because it sounds like the name of an attack.

Pant, pant,,, Miss, tell me your favorite functions,,,

Girls, dance to OSTER songs together! What'll happen then? You don't know? I'll be happy and you'll get more yuri songs. :woman-woman couple: :woman-woman couple:

When you hear the words "Fibonacci sequence," whether you respond "Recurrence relation!" or "Recursive function!" distinguishes what field you're... dis.... distinguishes...

tWO GIRLS... aRE DANCING... tO THE YURI SONG I MADE...
[Fairies] Dancing To kissing fish [Original Choreo]

I'm like, such a baby.

I'm a baby, so I can't compose.

If one can be "victorious" in life, surely it's not by beating someone else, but by being satisfied with yourself and having fun.
Of course I'm sure there are also lots of people who'd consider beating others something they enjoy but it's still not the only thing okay.

Lately, I'm kinda more envious of people who seem to be having fun rather than people who are talented...

The people who say you have to be good at it to upload a video of you singing must make restaurant-quality dishes when they cook for themselves, and write as neatly as a textbook, and have a walk as beautiful as a model... How enviable...

When "one size fits all" clothes don't fit you, for instance, it makes you super depressed that you're not even within the expectations of what a human is, so I want them to stop labeling things as one size fits all. (delicate yakuza)

I've also tried stuff like "simple hair styling even clumsy people can do!", and I couldn't do it at all, so I must be a garbage human for whom "clumsy" doesn't even suffice...

Me: "Playing E on ukulele is too hard... I'll see if there's an easy way to do it..."
Video: "There's an easy way to do it."
Me: "Thank goodness..."
Video: "First, hold the entire fourth fret with your index finger."
Me: "Don't screw with meeeee!!"

If you just tack on "future," it kinda makes it sound like a modern genre.

When your dreams come true,
It's not thanks to somebody else
It's thanks to me, yo
Be grateful, yo

I've prepared a new face and name!
Sell your strengths with Coconala.

I've eliminated that pesky human!
Sell your strengths with Coconala.

It's fine to like boobs. We're mammals, after all.

I pretty much only wear a yukata once a year, so I bought some earrings I wanted to wear with it, but I dunno where they went, and even my memory of buying those earrings is pretty vague.

Don't you wanna wear a yukata? Yukataaa.

July's over... I hate everything...

July 31st, 2020

What else? Let's make a youthful bingo and fill it all in. I'm gonna be adolescent 'til I die...

Running along the river in the evening, shouting at the ocean, lying down and looking at the stars, gazing at the morning sun from a high place... Since adults are more able to act freely and take responsibility for themselves, can't they be youthful all they want?

I'm in my thirties, but I'm full of motivation to start my youth right now.

I'm afraid of a world that can't laugh at and accept Pocari commercials, or Isabelle's non-relevant topics.

Vocaloid producers are good at having pet cats and grilling meat.

Puella Magi aug☆dim

Let's make my own anime!!!

I wanna do an anime theme song. Don't you ever wanna do an anime theme song?

July 30th, 2020

I feel like people who can grab hold of success are super stubborn people who can keep persistently going no matter what anyone throws at them, so I'm gonna be stubborn and persistent too, to the point that people are like "You're still at it?" I'll do it 'til I'm dead.

I can't handle the kind of person who sees a good friend putting in effort to change and starts feeling inferior and getting aggressive. I feel like doing that just makes your own life more miserable, but does it really satisfy them? Rather than pull down the legs of others, climb up on your own legs. :leg: :leg:

Chord changes are so hard.

Playing ukulele has taught me that the Bb→B→C ending you hear in Hawaiian songs is super difficult.

I actually am curious about the dividing line between curry and vegetable soup. If you gradually add a thick curry flavor, it's a mystery as to when it becomes curry. Like when you're dozing off, how it's unclear how much you're awake and conscious and how much you're asleep. Even if you go to bed with that curiosity in mind, your senses can't observe the moment you fall asleep.

Don't you wanna forgive and love yourself, contradictions and all, for being so human? That makes you invincible.

Then what's that make you for making music relying so heavily on feel, eh? Eheehee, I dunno.

There surely aren't a lot of things in this world that you can cleanly draw a line between, which might be why I like the idealistic laboratories of math and physics.

Surely, all things in the world become solidifed the moment you name them. That's why people fear not being able to go anywhere if they give something a name. But things that are unclassified and unnamed scare us instead because they're unknown. People must walk alongside fear. You'll be worrying until death whether the pot in front of you is vegetable soup or curry.

Where does friendship end and love begin?
Where does vegetable soup end and curry begin?

I also wanted to be murmur twins in high school. And I got to become mumur twins at the start of this year, so my dream came true.

What I want to be in the future:
Elementary school: Pilot
Middle school: Pianist
High school: Composer
College: Composer
My twenties: Furry lady
My thirties: Maaya Sakamoto's "Backlight"

When I encounter a good song, I think "I want to become the composer of that song."
When I encounter an outrageous song, I think "I want to become that song."

I'm not smarter than a 5th grader, so I want a 5th grader to teach me stuff.

It's troubling how I can't do anything else when I'm making music.

You get scrapes just by living.

Me good at arranging strings. #Dominowns

It was an ordinary Blackadder chord... (Blackadders are wild)

Isn't Caug/Gb kinda wild???

I smell so good after using shampoo that I'm LOLing.

The state of the Toro Puzzle world is so awful that it makes the world I'm in radiate beautifully. Thank you, Toro Puzzle...

[Jun: "Um, so hey, speaking of women... When I bought a woman at the supermarket, I didn't have change, so I paid with a 10,000-yen bill, and my wallet was bursting with change!"]
Humans being bought and sold on the cheap.

When I say I make music, people often ask "So you must have absolute pitch and stuff, right?", but I absolutely don't, and I just follow desires like "hoooOOOoooh, this sound feels goooood ♡♡♡" to make music.

Even if I don't know what the notes I imagine even are, if I can imagine it, I can make music. So everyone look at me and cheer up.

I have no connection between the way I picture sounds and the names of musical intervals, so that doesn't trip me up at all, but what's that say about me as a musician?

I'm super weak at music theory, so when I see the word "dominant," my pulse stops and I die.

The toypi sound in Keyscape is supreme. I've never seen anyone abbreviate "toy piano" as "toypi."

Music is something you create while running wild.

[Re: Dorami-chan tweet] I'm LOLing at how strangely popular this got.

Making music is fun and it's agonizing! It's fun agony!

Am I a baby?

I took a nap and I'm sleepy!!! Dammit!

Making music is lethally difficult, so I want 100 million yen in my bank account every time I finish a song.

I was thinking about making a song, but if I started streaming now, I'd definitely get sleepy in the middle, so I'll do it in the evening or at night...

Not needing any practice at all to produce clean sounds is what makes DTM the best.

Maybe that's why so many people learn it?

Piano is a godly instrument that anyone can play and produce a uniform sound from.

I had a video-call ukulele session with a friend, but holding the more-important-to-me-than-life-itself F#m7-5 in the key of C is super difficult and nearly made me lose it.

Crying ain't gonna make time move anything but forward, so I gotta keep making my new song...

Why's time gotta only move forward...

Listening to old Doraemon songs makes me remember the sound distortion when you recorded to VHS... Also the feeling of scratching off "do not ovewrite" warnings... I'm gonna cry.

I'm always indebted to Do#rami#-chan [C#AE#].

Dorami-chan being a minor chord immediately makes the idea of making a cheery theme song for her following that scale impossible...

Dorami-chan [CAE] → Gloomy character
Do#rami-chan [C#AE] → Chipper character

The moment I stop thinking about it, the world returns to normal and I can put my feet back on the ground. Maybe not thinking is a valuable skill too. I wanna not think.

I occasionally have moments where I suddenly don't have the feeling that I exist here, or feel like I no longer understand my existence as if I'm in darkness with no sense of direction, but everyone has those, right?

I super remember being around 5 or 6 and thinking "Why am I alive as a living creature right now? Why do I have a body and a spirit? What'll happen if these disappear?"

There are moments when all of a sudden, I'm like "Why did I make music my occupation...?" It's like wondering why you were born as a human. The kind of question you won't be able to figure out, but that drives you nuts when you start thinking about it.

I'm mad. :angry face:

Oh yeah, I forgot that if you don't hit the save button after doing anything in Drum Tree it resets your tones, so when I reloaded the project, they were all gone.

Should I wear a T-shirt with the QR code for my new song printed on it and jump and wave my arms in front of the Shibuya live camera...???

I'm glad so many people listen to the work-in-progress, but I need to come up with a way to make them listen to the finished version too... What should I do...???

It is written in the Records of Ancient Matters that the more the bass moves, the better.

Unintelligible basslines show their true radiance among unintelligible progressions.

The bass is an instrument that flies through the sky.

You wanna do some good work, eh?!

I'm the best at making music sexy...

The song that's so sexy it makes my hands shake. [Retweets "tragic pop with a bonanza of perverse progressions" preview.]

I dunno why my hands are even shaking anymore...

The song I'm making now is so sexy my hands are shaking.

I haven't written any sexy lyrics lately, so my hands are starting to shake.

If you want to be happy for a day, go to the barber.
If you want to be happy for a week, buy a car.
If you want to be happy for a month, marry.
If you want to be happy for a year, buy a house.
If you want to be happy for life, buy Spitfire Chamber Strings.

I dedicate myself to making tweets that cause people who gave serious consideration to their meaning to regret it.

The weight of words isn't so much in what they are, but in who said them, their thoughts, their circumstances, their fundamental perspective. For instance, there's a different nuance between when we say "paisley" and when Goku says "Paisley."

If you wanna make songs like me and you're starting now, you should definitely play a keyboard. (Screw-Up Taecher)

Being slower than keyboard-playing is an unavoidable reality, so as a mouse-user, it's been a fight for survival, optimizing every individual part of the work...

Production costs can vary a bit for individual jobs, but I think it'd be tough to do this as a job if I weren't as fast as I am at mouse-composing. Domino saves me. :folded hands:

(Today I displayed an unsightly scene of worrying a ton over key change patterns...)

(But I do make tons of mistakes.)

Praise me more. ///

RT @amege630_m She's fast at placing notes and tuning, and fast at coming up with accompaniments and different rhythm patterns, and fast at fiddling with other parts accordingly, and super fast at feeling out and selecting ideas (cutting down iffy ideas and finding a new answer)... She's optimized in all areas, so I'm like, this is what a pro looks like. And not a hint of any mistakes. Yikes.

RT @amege630_m I was watching OSTER-san stream composing, and her speed is on a whole other level... Do all pros end up like this?

[Jun: "The taste of kisses... I had one for the first time in ages, and my face went all limp..."]
Girl on her private account.

I'm just playing the songs I made over and over going "Whatta great song" and not progressing at all.

It's probably around 200% humidity in my house right now.

Even if you try to be a good person, that ideal of a good person is just what you think a good person is, and could even look like a bad person to someone else. It's impossible to make all people accept you, so find people you can get along with. People I can get along wiiith! It's meee!

A good person is someone who's good in your point of view.

A living person is one who's not dead.

I'm a pain in the butt otaku, so I like talking about things with no one answer.

When a character begs not to be killed, it can also be really good at showing their humanity in the eleventh hour and attachment to life, and when begging not to kill someone the character loves, it's beautiful at expressing how they want to put their lover first. They're both good.

It could also be a character who wants to stop the person they love from becoming a killer, right???? The world of otaku-imagined situations is boundless...

It suddenly occurred to me that by asking them to imagine a scene for the line "Don't kill [subject not required in Japanese]!", otaku could probably be divided into two groups: those who imagine the character themselves begging for their life, and those who imagine someone who loves that character pleading not to kill them.

[Jun: Once, I got rejected by a girl who was suited for stylish boba, so I moved to the futon to forget, hop.]
One of those weirdly-expressed sentiments where you get what they're trying to say.

Knowledge is water. You can't hoard it all for yourself.

Forgot the tag. #Dominowns

Sorry, I can't make it to the Bug-Off. I'm making tragic pop with a bonanza of perverse progressions.

My Rin-chan is cute and could make infinite complicated-yuri songs...

Why do I myself like Friendship so much? I like that kind of yuri that's fleeting and direct and severe and fragile...

Isn't it the same with romance? Isn't Rin-chan in Friendship painful??

Of course, you can put in effort to get people interested in you, but if you target someone else's feelings which you can't do anything about and it doesn't go your way, it'll break your heart... So if you're going to set a goal, I think it's good to better your own skills to be satisfied with yourself.

Creature who just learned that if you type "creature," it comes up with emoji of creatures. :cat: :dog: :fish: :dolphin: :bee:

But they're also creatures who can't control others' feelings, so they ultimately have to accept things themselves. :cat:

People are creatures who can't live if they don't actually feel needed by someone. :cat:

I couldn't do a night stream because I watched Jurassic World...

"As long as you believe, dreams never die" is such a cruel phrase brimming with hope.

Anybody who wants to see some composition, come visit. [Followed by a stream of making a new "tragic pop" song.]

But when I feel some sort of suffering, it's a precious experience that only people who's felt it know! I'm having a precious experience! Lucky me! That's how I want to think. If you think like that, then all of life is entertainment.

I AM a masochist! (self-reporting)

Always thinking and saying how painful it is, but unable to stop creating. I'm seriously such a bizarre creature... What are you, a masochist?

It's been like this for all the years I've been doing it, and in fact, it gets more like that the more years I've been tackling music. When there's a song that I feel "succeeded," it becomes my rival, and I feel a lot of pressure...

The scariest thing about putting in time and effort isn't no one liking it, but not being able to make something you're pleased with yourself. But if you fear that, you'll get conservative and be even less able to make things you're pleased with, so it's super scary...

But I know if I ran, I'd never make any songs, and would only further berate myself for spending time not making anything... Ain't living hard?

Somebody help me.

Until I can get the conviction after progressing enough of "this is a good song!", I feel like I'm gonna die from unease, it's so exhausting, I wanna escape.

Why can people not concentrate?

I, who was full of vigor to make a song one hour ago, am now lying down on a yoga mat.

For some reason I cry listening to this.
[Cute Big Band Jazz] Cat and Balloons feat. Miku Hatsune - OSTER project

I'm streaming all the details of making songs. I'm fully nude! :love hotel:

I'll try to get a concept down today so I can stream tomorrow!

I wanna start making another new song today...

Good evening.

July 22nd, 2020

Stripping off one article of clothing at a time, I climb the mountain step by step. That's what music is to me.

I wanna get better at making music...

I do of course have "I want to do jobs like this" as a goal, but I think my feeling of "I want to make music like this" is stronger...

But if I summited Everest, I'd surely turn towards space next... Yes, fully nude in space.

I don't have any plans for one, but if I get interviewed and asked what kind of composer I want to be in the future, I'll answer "I want to be a composer who stands on the summit of Everest nude."

Not just using weird chords, but finding the beauty in them and making them into pop, is horribly difficult, so when I hear a song doing it perfectly I die.

I'm sure nobody understands what I'm talking about. I don't either.

Right now, I think my music is like being half-naked on Mount Takao.

Before I die, I want to make music on the level of standing on the summit of Everest nude. (???)

When I listen to a song with truly amazing chords, I feel like my chords are completely lacking in perverse energy... I've still totally got my underwear on... I wanna reach the point of being fully nude...

I always wanna try to help people with no confidence in themselves change...

Shaddup, everyone's a beginner to start, no point in making people embarrassed about it.

I seriously haven't studied chord theory at all, so I'm trembling every time worrying that I'm tweeting something totally nonsensical, or ridiculously basic stuff that'll make people go "ain't that obvious?"

Am7/D seems to be the majority, so I'll write it like that from now on...

Ever since I noticed that if you invert 7, it also satisfies the notes for a 6, I've kind of hesitated... Should it be case-by-case, or should I make them consistent in the sheet music?

I don't get this at all anymore...

It's just instinctual, but it feels like a 6 on top of C/D, so I feel like C6/D would be good. Feeling-wise.

To write Am7/D, or to write C6/D? That is the question.

The chords in my song are so complicated, I'm losing it writing them out.

Melos did not understand the chords in the song he himself made.

I might not die if it's not in the heart, but I'd like to not be stabbed if possible, since it hurts.

I've been told "OSTER-san, even you (etc.)", but OSTER-san gets depressed just over burning a shabby Salisbury steak, and she'll die if you stab her in the heart with a knife.

Because people with high self-esteem look cool.

I want self-esteem.

Spitfire Chamber Strings is four beautiful sisters. They have Samantha Thavasa shoulder bags and always carry neatly-ironed handkerchiefs.

There's some intense yuri between MODO bass and Drum Tree.

All the synths I have are girls, you see. (?)

Maybe women who twerk it are rare in the natural world... What are you on about this early in the morning???

There being BL but not yuri most likely has to do with the standards of what consistutes BL...
(Continued behind paywall)

I have a sickness that makes me immediately check to see if there are any lesbian penguins when I see something like this.

RT @aky_synes There was a penguin fandom shipping chart at the aquarium. [Photos of a chart of penguins with lines showing their relationships, with a few "ex-BL" relationships for pairs of male penguins who broke up and paired with females.]
