You don't see Granny Durum's Spaghetti anymore either... Granny... Where did the grannies go...

They're not selling Granny Claire's Cream Stew anymore??

I'm definitely being bothered by something nobody's being bothered about, but I've always wondered why the Granny Claire's Cream Stew commercial changed it from "vegetables and roast chicken" to "roast chicken and vegetables." Did they purposefully rerecord it...?

Been thinking about what to do with the CD I would've made for winter Comiket since there's no winter Comiket. :thinking face:

I can understand judgements that begin from a reason, but if you start looking for a reason to judge, that's just violence.

Until about 10 years ago, there wasn't a proper platform for artists to accept money online, and lots of people had a negative impression of accepting money, out of jealousy or who knows, so I really think things have gotten good lately.

I want to get to 500,000 followers and have them send me 1 yen each every month.

Isn't it so inconvenient how the concepts humans came up with, for the sake of creating the unifier that is society and making life easier, bind and torment individual humans? So let's become the universe. The universe is cool.

Rather than saying "everyone has the right to live," maybe we should think about how humans as a species creating the concept of "rights" complicates things and makes for trickery, and from the universe's perspective, there's just the fact that life exists, with no notion of that being good or bad. Let's become the universe. I'm the universe.

You might have that backwards???

Both recorder and ukulele have a great power of bringing out this sort of superbly mega-clumsy flavor.

Part of it is also just that I wanted to test how I could use recorder and ukulele.

Today's a day for putting all my energy into just-for-fun stuff.

August 26th, 2020

Always making typos at the important parts. Nobody loves you.

I meant back.

And that joy and regret riding on your hack carries the potential to be bundled up and transformed into something with meaning, and that's art, which I think is a lifesaver.

Even I'm like "that was so long ago, who cares anymore"! But still, the past won't go away, and both the fun times and sad times ride on your back, so you need to live life carrying them.

After all, sorting through and listening to 13 years of songs to upload them to YouTube is making me remember how such and such happened back then and it was really painful... Some of them are difficult and vexing to face. Even though they're my own creations... It's sad.

I super understand the feelings of people who move out after a breakup or losing someone. Scenery around town, rooms, smells, sounds, all sorts of things can be triggers to bring back vivid memories. I totally understand not being able to bear that...

Humanity's been at it for millions of years, so don't you wish they'd evolved more rationally?

As long as people live, they unconsciously throw away all sorts of things. Just by living, you move forward and leave behind the choices you didn't make, like putting out the trash. Surely you're able to move forward because you threw them away, but is it a waste of valuable life to sentimentally think back on the choices you discarded?

I'm a wimpy woman who'll cling to the past forever.

When you move, the town that had always been special to you becomes a place that means nothing to you... Isn't it kind of sad, like a breakup? For instance, you won't get to see the completion of under-construction buildings that you'd been looking forward to. Though I know I am who am now because of the time I spent there...

Cooking for yourself sounds like an intense thing, but all I do is cut broccoli and onions and throw them on the stove, or just cut tomatoes, or use a toaster oven to cook fried tofu or gyoza or smelt.

I want a separate me who draws art and a me who makes videos and a me who makes music and a me who does chores.

Today I made a song for fun and also a song for work and also dinner and I even did my Ring Fit too. I'm a multi-talented creator. Maybe I'll draw and then go to bed?

Lately, my heart feels highly invincible, so I want to keep living at this pace.

Being driven by non-essential urges a lot is a good thing!!

Today I put all my energy into making fun content that isn't part of my goals for the month at all... I'll post it relatively soon...

Soapland... I used to think it was a fun theme park. But in truth, it was a fun theme park. ["Soaplands" are Japanese bath houses with sexual services.]

Ring Fit making me feel terrible: "Your flab is crying!!"

As long as you have some solid confidence in yourself, you can just be like "So you're like that? Well, I'm like this!", and there's not the slightest reason to attack anyone...

I guess due to a bug where feeling really inferior makes them perceive themselves as under attack, they start attacking others... Becoming aggressive when you lose confidence may well happen, so you gotta spontaneously do things that lead to having self-confidence...

That's the sort of thing I think about when I look at roastings... I don't wanna see it anymore, I just wanna eat a Big Mac.

If the only way you can let out feelings like that is by attacking others, you better be ready for the rest of your life to be a dark future, crawling along with no chance of improvement or anything.

Jealous people don't honestly declare their feelings toward the person they're jealous of all like "I'm jealous," they attack with some sort of false accusation... I've seen it occur that way for 460 million years, but doesn't that make you so much more miserable?

I got back to Ring Fit after 5 billion years, and now that you can change your partner's voice to a woman's, I've gotten super motivated.

my new gear [Photo of her holding a recorder]

Work is the easiest way to feel like you're needed by the world, so having work makes me happy as someone terrible at recognizing her own worth...

Since I've been locked inside, my stamina has declined a scary amount... Gotta resume Ring Fit...

My cosplay of Douglas MacArthur at a summer resort in Karuizawa.

That's right, I'm Douglas MacArthur at a summer resort in Karuizawa.

I put on sunglasses feeling like a woman going to a summer resort in Karuizawa, but when I looked in the mirror, I saw Douglas MacArthur.

I suddenly remembered how in middle school, I wrote a joke haiku for some project that went like "Paying your taxes / is the first step of many / to social welfare."
Now I want to append "which is why I want you to do it for me."

I think if I continue on, lots and lots more fun things will happen. I'll even make them happen myself! I want things to spread out from there...

Even if you don't want to give up on something, if you start looking for reasons to quit, you'll find a lot, so don't go looking! Count the people, experiences, and joys you've had explicitly because you just kept going, and keep working hard.

I'm really looking forward to some exciting plans I have tomorrow... Plans save humans...

My tummy is big and cute.

This year, I want to proactively use not just half-diminisheds, but major seventh flat fives... I love that feeling of unrest.

Something like C→Caug feels like it could show up no problem, at least.

Please give me a job making an alma mater that uses plenty of augs and dims.

It's sad how I can't really recommend it anymore since the CD's out of production...

Cinnamon tweeting out lyrics from Cinnamon Trip makes me so happy...

Something's wrong the second I start talking about "humanity" when it comes to synths.

Hummingbird is a slim beauty for sure... Sometimes she gets pouty over some weird things, but it adds to her humanity...

Addictive Drums seems like she'd get lots of mysterious bruises every time she got drunk. And yet she'd probably get drunk enough to lose memories again anyway.

I think it'd probably be Spitfire Chamber Strings, but she's so beautiful and excellent that I probably wouldn't be a good match for her...

What kind of woman do I like? Likened to sound synths?

When I imagined the world of Miku/Rin-chan secretly kissing in the green room after the show, I started entertaining myself wondering which of them would be concerned about how they haven't showered since the show.

My Miku-chan and Rin-chan are a regular matrix and inverse matrix, so they're interchangeable. (???)

My Bubblegum K.K. Miku-chan and Rin-chan appear to be a regular friendly two-person idol group, but once the show's over, they probably secretly kiss in the green room.

Regretting meals you ate is simply rude to those meals, and unless regretting will get rid of calories, the time you spend on those negative feelings will only be a negative in your life - that's all I wanted to say.

Don't eat half-heartedly! It's rude to the food!

Eating on a diet without feeling guilty? The feeling of guilt is useless to begin with. If you're going to be tormented by guilt about it later, you shouldn't have done it in the first place. Prepare yourself for that eventuality!!!! I eat pizza and drink beer late at night!! I have no guilt!! Only resolve!!!!!!!!

Aging isn't becoming nostalgic for things. It's beginning to hallucinate that the events of the time you should be nostalgic for were actually recent.

People have things they're good at and things they're bad at, so understanding your specialties and doing things in a way appropriate for you is extremely important.

People who can casually do their best day after day as amazing and I envy them, but unfortunately, I think that might not suit my style, so I'll do my best in way that fits me.

In my case, that hastiness has sometimes motivated me to better myself, so maybe I needed that competitive nature. But if you get too fussy about things, it gets to be bad news, so watch out. Brain overload.

I think it was just fun to make songs with Miku then, plus a feeling of not wanting to admit defeat to anybody else. Kinda lame how I'm always worrying about other people and feeling rushed! But also it's human-y and cute! Alright!

You'd think it's because of my age, but I also feel like it's been like this for a long time. When I think about the stupid pace I was uploading songs at around the dawn of Miku-san's era, I have to admit my productivity has dropped a bunch, which makes me sad... I want me to put out lots of songs as much as you do...

If I can make time to blame myself, I should just do the thing... But I'm slow to act...

But I'm definitely getting better at ukulele! In exchange for pain in my left hand...

The impatience of living every day thinking "tomorrow, I swear"!

I always blame my lazy self like "you could've been working harder"...

Also, I made a proper meal. Cutting peppers was tough. I felt like I didn't do anything all day, but once I wrote it out, I realized I'd done a lot, which is a bit of a relief... Yawn.

'Twas another day of drawing to become a godly illustrator, making music, playing ukulele, and practicing Splatoon.

I was too hasty and wasn't able to take this screenshot of Toro Puzzle, but Jun said she wanted to see Bill Gates drinking too much oil and losing control of his reason, and I was like "Apple fanatics sure are scary."

I updated my Twitter app and a draft that wasn't there before showed back up, and what is this.

It's super scary how injections have that feeling of liquid entering your body, and it's all the scarier the closer it is to the center of my body...

Hearing "inject from butt to thighs" is making me cramp up remembering a hellish injection directly into my nerves while I watched an X-ray in real time.

Ah, you can see it.

I can't see images, so is now the time to post anything I want?

Using the same art program as a godly illustrator won't make you a godly illustrator, and eating the same meals as Fujii-kisei won't make you good at shogi.

I'm crappy at a lot of things, but I live my days doing my crappy best...

If you get embarrassed to express things, you can't make nothin', I think.

I'm also happily working as a lyricist now, past me!!!!!!!!!!!!

You know how you wrote poems in the corner of your notebook in middle school or whatever? Feels embarrassing just to remember it, I know, I know.

I've never had a picture where I felt iffy about the sketch but managed to make it work during linework, and I've never had a picture where I felt iffy about the linework but managed to make it work during coloring.

I don't ask for much, so I just want to wake up tomorrow and be good at art and good at music and good at videos and be a beautiful girl and have 5 billion yen desposited to my bank account.

I'm so bad at art I'm crying.

To put it simply, "I'm so bad at mixing, it might actually sound better before mixing" is the same phenomenon as "I'm so bad at makeup, I look cuter before makeup."

The other day, when I saw two men and two little kids having lunch together, the first thing that came to mind was "A gay couple? How nice," but thinking about it after the fact, maybe it was just two dads meeting...

Parametric representation... Urk, my head...

If you don't properly understand how things work, math becomes a huge game of memorization, which might be why so many people feel like they're bad at it... A game where you just memorize formulas is painful and unfun...

Maybe I'll stock up on knowledge that can make creating videos easier too...?

If I restudied math, I wonder if I'd get things I couldn't get at the time... I was super bad at calculus. I solved it without being able to comprehend the concepts...

There's a refreshing feeling to connecting them and making them disappear like bwoooop.

I used to like questions where you used a diagonal matrix (?) to find the nth power of a matrix... Can't solve 'em anymore.

The first person to define a complex number definitely wasn't in their right mind.

If I say I like Warring States period commanders, or that I like modern history, I'm sure there's a fair number of people who'll be like "Me too!", but it's sad how I've never gotten someone to agree when I say "I like trigonometric functions"... Everyone in the world hates math...

The hardest part of composition is until you get started.

Wha, I feel like I can do a lot of new stuff with this...

The fact it doesn't use loops means that this ball, drawn on a shape layer in real time, can be easily modified as it animates... You can change its color, deform it, etc.

The little balls fall accurately to physics (using a quadratic function), while the big ball is kinda-sorta free falling using trigonometry, but I kinda wanna sum up the trig one like "You can create this motion with a single line of code without any precomposing or loops!"...

This is getting fun.

Maybe decide a hitbox for the ground, and when the ball is going to go below it, keep the same speed and just invert the direction? But how... :thinking face:

My memories of high school physics are just too distant... I cried when I realized I had to look up the formula for free-fall motion.

If you start thinking about the coefficient of restitution and stuff, it ceases to be a loop, but I wonder how you'd implement that...

An endlessly bouncing animation using expressions and loops.

For each and every retweet you've given my songs, I can ruminate over those feelings while I eat my usual delicious dinner.

Water is 0 calories, so drinking water after a meal overwrites your calories with zero.

On the other hand, if it's someone you're super friendly with, you can totally enjoy it even when they're teasing you for having small boobs, so it's all about it being a person who knows what the line is, that doing such and such will hurt you.

[After retweeting an article/comic about inappropriately casual replies to strangers on social media] When you go viral, you always get replies and quote-retweets that make you go "what's this guy's problem...", so I guess whenever enough people gather, there'll always be some number like that...

[R-Suzuki: "They say "the early bird gets the worm," but what kind of business model is that?"]
I'm sure you're fun at parties.

I watched Devilman on Netflix, and it was so extreme it freaked me out, but seeing the wiki say it's the closest to the original work freaked me out even more.

The "monda" in "sutta monda" ["after a lot of fuss"] means "worrying," but it's the same word as "groping." And the "sutta" isn't the "inhaling" kind of sutta, but rather "rubbing." So there is the possibility of abusing it like "after a lot of fussing with boobs..."

I don't even have much of a chest, but it always gets in the way when I'm playing ukulele. How do huge-boobed people play this...?

I'm always doin' my best just to be satisfied with myself.

I've heard no end of arguments about how "the meaning of life is...", but it's not like you have no right to live unless it has meaning. It doesn't matter what others think about you, it's about if you can be satisfied!

You don't need anyone's permission to live, and it's fine even if nobody acknowledges you, so keep your health up regularly.

My body is so stiff it's appalled my friends, like "how do you live like that?", so I'm doing stretches every day. My legs can only open 90°.

This is high-school-freshman-level math, but high school was 1★ years ago now, so I forget a bunch.

[After Effects] Making Swaying Animations With A Single-Line Formula #OSTERExplains

If a jack of all trades and master of none keeps stubbornly persisting, I bet they can become a queen of all trades and master of everything. Maybe.

I've used sin and cos in expressions, but if I used tan, I'd probably get an invalid number error once it diverged to infinity, huh...

The hardest parts of this lecture video were drawing the point on the unit circle and the perpendicular line and the point on the sine wave in the right spots... I'm a dummy and I get confused.

There was a good while where I was like, expressions? I don't get it, stay away from me - but if I'd known they were this useful, I would've been using them sooner...

Also, expressions can make mouth-flapping motions way easier too. Set it up so that the opacity of the mouth-closed layer and the mouth-open layer are inverted from each other. (Write it so that when one is 100%, the other is 0%)

I didn't cover this in the video, but if you go with A*Math.sin(time*B+C)+D, you can use D as the starting position (offset) for the rotation. For instance, if A=5 and D=5, the rotation of -5° to 5° has 5 degrees added to it, making the range 0° to 10°.

Also, it might trip people up a bit how AE uses radians for trigonometric functions in expressions, but transform rotations are in degrees... Radians aren't what common people use, though I know it's hard to unify them.

I'm sure a lot of people use these methods, but personally, I came up with it when I was having a heck of a time setting keyframes in Cinema4D when making the Oz video... I'm glad I could also do it with expressions in AE.

I want people who ask "What do we need math for?" to see this. You use math to make cuteness easily, yaaaaay!

[After Effects] A video about how if you use trigonometric functions, you can make animations for swaying heads and hair with just a single line of code. #AfterEffects #OSTERExplains

Watch with English captions here! (Original Twitter video)

Let's use trigonometry to make cyclical motions! (sin is Blue / Green)

By using trigonometric functions... You can have things move on their own without doing a thing, like the ears, head, and hair here. It's mega handy...

What's a trigonometric function? There are many types, but for now, let's cover the orthodox sin function. (* If you want to know about others, please Google it)

If you have a red point going around a circle like this, with blue [straight vertical] and green [toward center of circle] lines drawn from it like so: sin(angle Red has rotated) = Blue / Green (* Blue is + when on top, - when on bottom)

To graph it out... As the red point goes around and around, the value of sin cyclically goes back and forth 1 and -1. (Angle Red has rotated (radians) increases to right, value goes up and down) We can use this motion...!!

Basically... What if we say that the value of sin = the angle of the head/etc., and the angle of the red point = the passage of time?? (Time passed (seconds) increases to right, angle of head/etc. (degrees) goes up and down)

So how's this go in practice? 1. Add an expression to the "rotation" of the part you want to control. 2. Use the following formula for the expression (A, B, C can be any number): A*Math.sin(time*B+C) (* Even if you don't get trigonometry, write this and it'll move.)

Parameters (Explained via head movement): A: Amplitude. The extent of the head-swinging motion. If you make the value bigger, the head will swing further. (Showing A=2, then A=5) With the default sin function (A=1), the value range is -1 to 1, so in the case of A=5, it'll swing across the range -5° to -5°. (Showing A=15)

B: Period (frequency). The speed of the head-swinging. If you make the value bigger, the head will swing faster. (Showing B=3) With the default (B=1), it takes about 2π (6.3) seconds to swing left and right back to the original position. With B=2, it's half, 3.1 seconds. Since a higher value makes the period shorter, would "frequency" be more accurate? (Showing B=5, then B=8)

C: Phase. The timing of the head-swinging. The one with the bigger value starts swinging sooner. Used to create variation. (Showing Miku-C=0 against Rin-C=0, then Miku-C=0.5, then Miku-C=1.2) If you're just moving one thing, 0 is generally fine. Depending on the size of B, it can change the result a lot, so adjust as necessary.

Let's all use trigonometry and make things easier for ourselves! Math is superb.

If you do, I'll give ya tons of fanservice.

Gotta envy how cats get humans pampering them and calling them cute just by being cats. Make me a species that humans will fawn over unconditionally and pamper me... Spoil me all like "You cute widdle human! :heart: :heart: :heart:"

Even though my current feelings, even my current self, only exist in this moment, you know.

It's really painful having someone who I could call a best friend be outside my prefecture... I know the feeling of wanting to meet someone so bad you're shaking...

This year is really one where I have to put in more effort than usual to feel like I'm living as a person. I wanna be a person... I wanna get dressed up all nice and go to a normal restaurant and eat yakitori and drink beer and laugh out loud with my friends... That was my proof of being human...

I'm never gonna forgive you, corona... How many months of plans I was looking forward to have you ruined?

I'm a serious Toro Puzzler, but I'm stuck on Puzzle King Level 81.

As a result of fumbling around and exploring, Rin-chan stuck her lips and fingers into a shell... The sound of a conch shell ringing out... :conch:

These lyrics from Whale Rider are super cute and innocent and sexy...
["What a model love is,
Or how to love each other;
Nobody will teach that to us,
So let's fumble around and explore,
Just you and I..."]

I thought Whale Rider might be the simplest and most suited of my recent songs to play on ukulele, but I wonder if there's any others...

If you shift Whale Rider -1, it's in the key of C, and then even if the chorus shifts +2 it just becomes D, so it's easy to play in a way, but the augs are nasty.

I'm a huge newbie who just started playing ukulele 3 weeks ago, but I'm dying trying to play Whale Rider.

My songs are loaded with slash chords, so when I play them on ukulele ignoring the slash chords, you don't get a sense of the bass moving and it's no fun...

Totoro on ukulele gets hopelessly difficult after the key change, so I can't play it to the end.

Turns out "if you make a sound, you lose" wasn't a sexy thing.

The volcano Delaware. :volcano: [Kīlauea]

I'm having so much fun playing aiko-san's songs on ukulele, I switched to Hawaiian citizenship.

I gained over 1000 subscribers on my channel in a month, so I want to keep working away at it.

Making music is stupidly hard, so people who make music are heck of amazing.

My instruments: Recorder, ukulele

Are you going to Scrambledegg Fair?
Sorry, Simon and Garfunkel. :woman bowing:

Both eggs and people's hearts get scrambled if you don't peel the shells properly.

No matter how I look at it, there's gotta be more demand for automatic egg peelers than automatic egg crackers.

I messed up peeling the shell and the egg got scrambled.

I can do it. I'm sure I can.

For the sake of tomorrow's happiness, I have to boil the eggs now.

And I myself am one who would add more streams to it, but just what should I stream...???

There are too many streams in this world!!!!!!!!

When you say "the toilet's far away," it means you're a considerable distance from a toilet, but when you say "the toilet's close," it means you use the bathroom frequently... I seriously don't get Japanese. [It's an expression, presumably coming from the idea that someone who has to go frequently would stay close to a bathroom.]

I'm stuck on G#m7 with ukulele.

Domino's selection filters can pick out only the short notes, for instance, so my theory is you'd just copy those and move them to the interval of the staccato keyswitch.

Actually, I feel like a program that scanned MIDI data and automatically inserted staccato keyswitches based on the note durations would be relatively simple. I mean, not with my programming knowledge, but y'know.

Though maybe there being a different nuance to the release based on note duration is just a presumption. Don't you feel like there's something to that?

Maybe it'd be more realistic if there were a system that wasn't real-time, but loaded the MIDI data all at once to understand all the note durations, then automatically played short and long note samples accordingly.

With piano synths, sometimes the sound of a release feels a little off, and I wonder if it's because in a real performance there's a different nuance between a short release and a long release, yet when processing in real time, you don't know the duration of the note at the start and thus can't distinguish them?

It's just a story about how she wants to wear matching earrings with her friend as soon as possible, and when she gets a second piercing while still unsure if her first piercing is stable, it bleeds and hurts... but ended up the way it is after I gave said story a twisted feel.

I feel like the lyrics to Second Piercing are super pervy, but no one said anything about it, so I got away with it.

Did the second piercing you pushed yourself to do still hurt and make you yell out???

The piercing that seemed like it was going to close up tearing open at 4 AM.

It starts with a tonic major for the first "Totoro, Totoro," yet the next "Totoro, Totoro" inserts a dim, then lands with a minor - it's so dang dramatic...

I'm playing a wide spread of songs on ukulele, and I'm laughing at how good the chordwork in My Neighbor Totoro is.

I'm okay with calling everyone a winner just for living as a human. :medal:

So maybe we need things that we can just irresponsibly put blame on. It's all your fault, you poopy-head corona!

I'd rather die than become a person who blames everything on other people, but becoming a person who blames everything on themselves might be so painful that I'd die.

Whether the atmospheric pressure is high or low, I feel bad physically and mentally, so I dunno what to blame it on anymore... It's all the coronavirus's fault...

Fall Guys seems like a ton of fun...

When I turn 80, I feel like I'll be writing the lyrics "Put everyting up to my fingertips in your grave."

Miku-chan's birth was 13 years ago too, and I'm still writing lyrics they don't have a care in the world, but seriously, what's this "Dye everything up to my fingertips your color" business? You try reading that out loud with a straight face.

When writing lyrics from the perspective of teenage girls, I've had people say they're too heavy and they wouldn't be thinking that deeply, so it feels unnatural, and had to fix it. It depressed me to think that's a mistake I've come to make as an adult... (crappy mental health)

Even within that, I'll keep finding ideal, beautiful worlds and depicting them... I'm sure there's other people who'll think they're beautiful too... I'm not stoppin'.

Actually, because I seek so much meaning in everything as I age, I'm clearly growing distant from that pure passion, those feelings that goes beyond meaning that an adolescent has... I'm just an adolescence zombie wandering a false labyrinth of the ideal adolescence that adults thought up... Why...

It feels like as I age, I don't become distanced from adolescence, but rather understand the feelings of an adolescent gril from more angles and see it in higher resolution... My body grows old and weak, but my mind becomes sharp... How cruel...

Even at 40, I feel like I'll still write lyrics like an adolescent girl.

I'm a high school girl... Whatever anyone says, I'm a high school girl...

Pant... pant... One more year 'til my forties...?

[Takes a quiz on Showa-era merchandise and gets 10 out of 10, which prompts it to suggest she's in her forties]
I'm not forty yet... Still... one year...

I also haven't made Magical Paint, nor Trick or Treat, nor Alice in Wonderland.

I've heard "I like OSTER-san's Romance Ward" 5 billion times, but OSTER-san hasn't made a song called Romance Ward.

I've also learned that 102 degrees isn't a melting day, it's a deadly day.

I now understand that on a melting day of 102 degrees, you can't Play Ball, and athleticism is generally cancelled, so you can't break into a run. [In reference to the lyrics of the song Sunny Day Sunday]

You're the only one who can judge yourself.

I feel things can't continue like this. As such, I'm thinking things can't continue like this.

[Screenshot of Sora saying something that gets wrapped to four lines and sticks out of the three-line textbox] I understand CSS completely.

Maybe I just don't see them often in my day to day life.

You don't see bitmap files much lately, do you???

I actually take jobs making songs, and it's not often I get a request that goes "Display your power as a pervert as much as you please!" and lets me remove my handcuffs, but I must spend my days training my filthy powers for the rare case where I do get to do a request with my handcuffs off...

RT @foxnumber6 Some composers think "if it's Maaya Sakamoto, I can have her change key as much as I want." Yoko Kanno was like that at first, but after producing, she centered around relatively normal songs. But before long, new composers thinking "if it's Maaya Sakamoto, I can have her change key as much as I want" started joining the fight one after another and are bringing it back to how it was, which is amazing.
I super wanna join this fight... :bomb: :explosion:

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!!

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.
