An OSTER-song woman tells you on the way back from your driving date to take her home, and unable to express her true feelings, she feels like crying from the pain of the time you spent together ending, but all she can do is say "thank you" with a smile... I know all about 'em.

The concept of an "OSTER-song woman."

My talent for writing poems lives in lyrics, so let's live unashamed of writing poems.

If you can't recognize what's behind you, you can't look forward.

Hurry up and release the positivity update.

Every time something painful happens, my view of life updates and my lyrics get darker, which I want to prevent, so let's think about cheerful things.

When I eat sushi, I have to work for as much sushi as I ate, so I corner myself by eating sushi.

It's unfair how cats are cute even if they're not working.

I love the world, but the world doesn't love me, so it's always been a one-sided crush.

May 27th, 2021

A bunch of brutally difficult quests got added, how fun...

May 26th, 2021

Monster Hunter Rice :rice bowl:

The way that even the names of monsters who weren't announced for the update are filling the trends box really goes to show the staggering amount of content.

[Apex Roset-chan]
A Roset-chan which has taken on the title of "Apex."
Seen in songs making perverse progressions like a raging storm, seemingly ever under the control of augs and dims.

Monster Hunter gives me life.

[After stream with 3.0 update details] Thank you, Monster Hunter...

I'm not very smart, so I dun' really know...
But it's cute when two girls get along.

Like always, I'm pretty much just immersing myself in solo play.

I've already played this Monster Hunter more than any other.

Monster Hunter tonight... Monster Hunter tonight...

I'm envious of people who can do anything skillfully, so I pretend to be someone who can do anything skillfully.

Since you can connect with skilled people in one click these days, the days of being lionized just because you have skills might be over, I think to myself, yet all I can do is work on my skills.

May 25th, 2021

You're the only one you can force to do the things you like. Only you can win.

You can search the whole world, but the only entity you can make work endlessly for free is yourself. I feel unlimited potential in that.

[Retweeting Anata Janakereba video] I make things like this. (self-introduction)

So long as I keep doing more videos made by me myself and I, of course I want to get better at art, but I've gotta study movement and presentation and stuff to accompany it too.

Someone teach me AE, please...

It's nostalgic remembering how I went from having no clue how to use my first ever 3D software to making a video over half a year.

Honestly, if I tried to animate 7+ characters for 20 minutes all with manual keyframes, it would destroy my mind.

To get to the root of the matter, when I started making this video, I tried to make it all using keyframes, then partway through I went nuts and started using trig.
[Vocaloid Musical] The Music Wizard of Oz

If you used modulus, couldn't you also have it rotate between three images...?

I see, so you could just use modulus... (head full of trigonometry)

That one's simpler, so it's better to use that. (??)

RT @TumoiYorozu_FBC When I want to make something blink, I tend to use:
Math.floor(time*n%2)*100
(Still, applying trigonometry is important too!)

Even if the graphs are wrong, the approach is usable, so forgive me...

Sorry, I did the graphs wrong in the +1 part... Why's it goin' through the origin?

Moments when math can be visualized like this are seriously great. I feel like if it were taught incorporating this kind of thing, it might make it feel less unapproachable...

The graph of the absolute value of a sin wave has a fun shape too. You can use it for movements like an object bouncing.

Thinking up these kinds of solutions myself is a super fun part of expressions.

The stubbornness of someone who doesn't want to precompose.

Put together a super easy to understand method of making two images automatically alternate with expressions. #AfterEffects #TrigonometryIsGood

1. Base
Math.sin(time*n): As time passes, the value smoothly goes to and fro between -1 and 1. (The *n part controls the speed at which it comes and goes.)

2. Adjust Value
(1) Math.sin(time*n)+1: Adding +1 shifts it so the value goes from 0~2.
(2) (Math.sin(time*n)+1)/2: Dividing the whole thing by 2 adjusts it so the value goes from 0~1. (This form is the easiest to understand)


3. Round It
Math.round((Math.sin(time*n)+1)/2): Use the rounding function Math.round so it goes between 0~1 in a choppy (discrete) way.

4. Adjust Value and Apply to Opacity
100*Math.round((Math.sin(time*n)+1)/2): Multiply whole thing by 100 so it alternates between 0 and 100. By applying this function to opacity, the opacity goes 0% → 100% → 0% → 100% → ...
It's just that easy!!


5. Make It Blink Alternately With Another Image
Graph of Image A's Opacity [0, 100, 0, 100...]
Graph of 100 - Image A's Opacity [100, 0, 100, 0...]
When one of these is 100, the other is 0.
If we apply [the second graph] to Image B's opacity...
Image A opacity: 0% → 100% → 0% → 100% → ...
Image B opacity: 100% → 0% → 100% → 0% → ...
Just like that, the images are displayed alternately.
WOW

Also, AE loops bug out a lot, so I try to avoid using them... When will I be freed from the bug where it disappears on just the last frame...

Whenever I make two pictures alternate by applying trig and rounding functions to the opacity, I think to myself "this is such a messed up way to do this" while I go ahead and do it.

When I'm making movements with cyclical functions, some people might think "wouldn't it be better to precompose it and loop that?", but I have a strong desire to avoid adding unnecessary components and take care of it in one expression line... Want someone to understand that feeling.

Once I learned how to use trig functions in AE, I never wanted to put in another keyframe.

Trigonometric functions are god.

RT @popeetheclown In high school, I was studying math on the train, and the old man next to me spoke up. "Be sure to learn trigonometry. I'm a carpenter, so I use sine/cosine every day. Even the Egyptians used it to build the pyramids." When he got off, he told me "Good luck studying, young man." I use it every day now too, sir.

Cut onions and cried this morning.

I know meaning's something you decide for yourself, and it only loses meaning when you think it's meaningless, but still.

It's incredibly scary when there's moments I feel like what I've been doing has been meaningless, so being told I'm working hard relieves me.

It's already a home job as it is, so I want to console myself like "'course it's gonna be rough mentally to have your opportunities to go out eradicated."

When you spend interchangeable days stuck at home, the super commonplace feeling of achievement from going out and spending the day outside becomes so distant, it's wild... That's what I spent today thinking.

My opportunities to go out have dwindled so much, being out for just one day makes me exhausted.

I'm looking forward to the Monster Hunter update so much that I'm having lots of dreams about it.

Followers! I like you!

Every time I finish something, I feel proud to have kept up this job all this time. Thank you, everyone.

I worked hard on work, so can I go eat meat? Sure!

Was able to encounter her for the first time...

Yesterday I said Miracle Paint was a 12-year-old song, but it was 14 years. Scary...

May 22nd, 2021

They should teach more in compulsory education how dangeorus it is to categorize people's qualities as good and bad.

This sleeplessness is abnormal.

[Photo of a TV show about "why Vocaloid producers make so many hit songs" with two words blanked out by OSTER: "With ___ and ___, anyone can make a song"]

I nodded off and had a dream my Twitter account had a blue checkmark.

Thanks for the abrupt Monster Hunster stream! Solo Rampages was fun!

Gonna do solo Rampages!
[Monster Hunter Rise] I Can Too Do Rampages By Myself! [Musical Vtuber Tesro & Roset]

I worked hard on composition, so can I play Monster Hunter? Sure, go ahead ^^

I really like thinking up arrangements, but inputting them is just such an ordeal, so hurry up with the interface to export directly from my brain already.

Having a real hard time with arrangement and wanna throw my mouse.

Determined to finish up a song today.

[Re: Twitter verified account applications reopening] Has the chance to tweet dirty jokes with a verified checkmark come around at last???

Wanting to drink with others and losing it.

Woman who starts drinking all by herself.

I have dreams
I have hope
And I have chronic diseases

If you call things you've taken upon yourself in life "curses," they stick to you more deeply, so it's better to call them "chronic diseases" and get along.

Is the lonely part not "you not being here," but rather, thinking about you not being here?

Rather than feeling lonely, don't you think it's lonelier to not have anyone you're willing to say you're lonely to?

Have to keep myself satisfied so I don't give up making music.

If I wasn't satisfied with it, I think I would've given up making music.

Let me show you
A glittering world
(pulling down pants zipper)

I've watched Bloom Into You 5 billion times, but every time I watch it, I remember why I like it so much.

May 20th, 2021

I keep seeing people say the small monsters in this game are annoying, but in previous games I just remember them all being annoying, so I'm not really sure what's changed.

It's 5 AM, but I'm reporting that my Hunter Rank has reached 300.

I wanna go out drinking sooooon.

I like people.

An Unhappy Meal from FakeDonald's.

It's amazing how going just one note off from a diminished gives such a different flavor.

Half-diminisheds are so all-purpose, I feel like you can stick them in anywhere.

I love half-diminisheds so much, I'm making a song starting with half-diminisheds.

When I'm making music, I'm always like "am I truly a genius?"...

I wanna upload more fun videos...

I've already gotten about 1000 subscribers to my channel since I thanked everybody for 40,000! So grateful. :folded hands:

I wanna go to a hot spring so bad I had a dream where I went to a hot spring.

May 19th, 2021

I'll make a lot of songs starting tomorrow.

In my dream last night, I was playing Apex for the first time, but there were Pokemon and stuff, so that probably wasn't Apex.

Tesro-sama is relentless about mistaken interpretations. (??)

Drew a crappy comic. #TesrosetArt

[Tesro: "Whoa, what's with the horrified face? lol"
Roset: "I just looked in the mailbox, and there was this book..." (Roset x Tesro Transmission) Tesro: "HUHHH?!?!?!"
Tesro: "Why the hell am I the sub?!?!?!" [implied by being second in the ship name] Roset: "That's your concern?"]

Check out my video which I threw all my Tesroset moe into.

May 18th, 2021

I made this just to express my inclination toward being angry yet finding the situation of being angry so funny that I laugh. #TesrosetArt.

I feel like the feeling you get from streams of "This person's somewhere on Earth doing this stream right now..." is incredibly meaningful.

I streamed the arrangement process, so take a look if you like.

I understand shape layers completely. (I don't know a thing)

I love Tesro-sama's "detestable woman" part a lot...

Absolutely watch this collaboration between everyone at OSTER project!!!!

"Anata Janakereba" All-Out Arrangement! feat. Tesro & Roset
I arranged, sang, and drew a cover of a song I love!! :music score: :lightning bolt: :water pistol: #TesrosetTransmission

Waaaah, it's startinggg...

I get super nervous when a video I worked super hard on goes up.

Like it or not, I'm going to get busy for a while soon and have to work full-time, so I think I'm going to be storing power for now.

I'll cheer up when my video goes public, so I want you to watch my video!!

It's one of those days where I've got stuff I gotta dooo, but I can't move my bodyyy...

If your fear of being disliked keeps you down, you'll let any opportunity of meeting people who like you get away.

Unless you think "it's fine if people don't like it," you can't possibly express yourself.

In my dream a few days ago, I was gathering Slickaxes. Even though they don't exist in the new game... They don't, right???

In my dream, I went out drinking...

May 17th, 2021

There's some intense disparities in my understanding of each monster.

I hunted Rajang under 5 minutes, so why the heck does Teo take me 15?

The road to being a top-hunter is long and perilous.

Maybe I'll stream getting Bazelgeuse under 5 minutes???

Even if I did Rajang under 5 minutes, I haven't done Magnamalo in 5 minutes.

I went to fight Rajang to practice for my "Rajang under 5 minutes" stream, but I got under 5 minutes... [Screenshot of 4:52]

Check out Song of Super Chat, too.

[Retweeting premiere announcement] This is going up tomorrow! I'm going to say this 5 billion more times, so forgive me.

I wanna go to a hot spring. Don't you wanna go to a hot spring?

It's seriously so fun how since Tesroset is two people, they can sing duets.

:clock: Premiering tomorrow at 8 PM! :party popper:
Uploading a new all-out arrangement video! I worked super hard on the video this time, so let's all watch it together!
Thanks in advance! :heart:

This whole time I thought Miitopia was a kingdom for meat-eaters, but apparently it's something else.

I paid my taxes today, so I win.

I want 40,000,000 yen in retirement money! Grant my wish, Incubator!

And tomorrow night, I'm premiering my new video!! Today will be the day I shout "I'm uploading a video tomorrow night"!!

I've got so many fun jobs it's nuts!! Look forward to 'em!!

Who said it was okay for the rainy season to begin?

May 16th, 2021

The feeling of "I made all this myself, dang, amazing" is so incredibly important to creating.

Yikes, I made all this myself? Amazing, I'm so great... I did good...

Video's done... :crying: It's been a long time since I spent this long making one...

Humans can't do a thing to start with. Nobody can walk or talk at first, but they become able to by trying, so I think all skills are like that.

But it's not like I was good at composing to start with, even, so even if I feel like I'm not suited for something, if I have a desire to do it or an aspiration, I can't give up on it and try my best.

Some people would say it's more worthwhile to stick to your strengths if you're just going to force yourself to do something you can't do, but I just feel like if you only do what you know you can do, you'll never be able to expand your range. Though I know there's a world you can see only by following one thing to its extreme...

Y'know, it just occurred to me in trying all sorts of things, but I realize there's a lot of things to be gained from attempting things outside of your usual skillset.

Now I can't sleep.

I've been working all today, so I haven't played Monster Hunter...

Finally made it up to rendering...

Tesroset are cute.

Maybe whenever you can frantically work toward a goal, that's youth.

Wanna be youthful.

I made a bunch of progress on the video, so it should be done soon...

I have to go shopping today, but I'm totally unable to move and at a loss.

Slay Teostra in the nude?! Hyraaah!! (getting nude in real life)

It's always nothing but disgusting Tesroset, so pretty Tesroset is all the more appealing. (??)

Pretty Tesroset. #TesrosetArt

A sexy person once said: rather than an influencer with busted capabilities, it's healthier to just go viral every so often.

Ever since I became able to do AE previews for everything in real-time, my work efficiency has increased 5-billion-fold.

Heaven doesn't create one man above or below another man, but it seems cats are a different story.

I suppose I shall serve Master Cat again today...

I thought I knew everything there was to know about Rajang, but I was wrong. I don't even know the name of Rajang's favorite flower... I don't know anything.

I understand Rajang completely...

I don't know anything about Rajang...

I seriously had no idea until I started drawing myself how difficult and important color choice is.

Even after defeating 100 Magnamalos, it still kills me, so it's crazy strong.

May 14th, 2021

Even after hitting Hunter Rank 200 in this Monster Hunter, I still get lost.

When you're using the wiggle function on something like scale, it generates values in a 2D array, so if you want to, say, use wiggle on just the X direction, I guess maybe you have to specify which array index to use...

Gahh, feels like I figured it out...

I was so puzzled why expressions were erroring that I went and sulked in bed.

I'm working stupid-hard on this video, so wait a little longer please.

["Detestable Man"]

AE's being so damn slow.

Really, advantages and disadvantages are two sides of the same coin, so if you think something about you is no good, it's important to think what the flip side of that could be.

I'm an assertive person, so I'm suited for being a streamer. (stupidly positive)

I have a tendency in large conversations to fail to read the room and make a blunt statement, and lots of times I realize it after the fact and get depressed.

May 13th, 2021

My motivation has been so low this month, just replacing my fluorescent lights today exhausted my energy... No, I'm great just for replacing my fluorescent lights... I did good...

When people who say refrigerated gyoza isn't tasty, I'm curious just how delicious the gyoza they normally eat is... Refrigerated gyoza is so good...

Feels like the same sort of logical construction as "knowing that you know nothing."

This.

RT @foktr When I see something like "you should have high self-confidence," I'm like "Shaddup!!! I'm living without issue even wth low self-confidence!!! Low self-confidence's all fine and good!!! Yeah!!!", but I guess that means my self-confidence is actually super high? Well, worked hard today, so time for bed!!

May 12th, 2021

Regular quests are known as "Ruckuses." [The Japanese name for Rampages is like "night of a hundred dragons," so this is "night of one dragon."]

I wanna try using Gunlance.

Watching Monster Hunter streams makes me wanna play Monster Hunter.

During an online drinking session the other day, we were talking about how because people have the right to live their own lives freely, you can only be with people whose freedom overlaps with yours, and I thought "maybe you could say that about OSTER songs..."

The grass is always greener on the other side, but having those kinds of aspirations lets you decide you'll do your best too, so I want to value those feelings as well...

This for my whole life.

RT @SisterCleaire No matter what girl I look at, I see something dazzling they have that I don't, and it's so radiant I still can't look directly at it. But I'm still searching to see if maybe I have something like that too... :smiling face:

And just when I enthusiatically bought an AE plugin to make a video...

The light in my room suddenly broke... Not went out, it broke...

I thought "I wanna be a Vtuber," but I already am a Vtuber.

I want them to update this game up to version 500000000.0.

[Retweeting a Rise version 3.0 announcement] Update!! Come quickly!!

People Who Bought Monster Hunter Drunk: The Aftermath

I worked so hard last month that my motivation has been wandering since this month started, but I can't fret about it. At times like these above all others, those who get impatient die.

I'm also doing my best with Monster Hunter so watch me.

Have to appeal to the fact I'm not just doing Monster Hunter, I'm actually making things too.

RT @tomatowt [Owata-P] :music notes: Song of Super Chat feat. Garuna (Owata-P)

Red Pikmin are strong against fire, but Arzuros's butt is weak. [Its Japanese name, Aoashira, starts with "blue."]

I was curious about how buffs stack, so I looked it up, and a site came up where they analyzed it based on damage dealt to Arzuros's butt, so they were just whacking away at that butt for research purposes.

Will I someday be able to do a stream going for under 3 minutes...?

I've gotten to 3:XX on non-Zinogre monsters without Wyvern Riding, so next I think I'll go for 3:30.

Immensely curious about this supermarket.

RT @chiruko_ask I was at the supermarket earlier and the BGM on the in-store announcement was one of OSTER-san's instrumental songs, which was both nostalgic and startling. (can't remember the name of the song)

Love this.

RT @ryogomatsumaru I found this when I went to visit my parents the other day. I was so bad at English in middle school it's hilarious.
["Translate the following English sentences.
(1) Honesty pays in the long run.
Mr. Honesty went running a long time and paid me.
(2) It is no use crying over spilt milk.
No need to cry. Because I'm the one who spilled the milk."]

I want the next Monster Hunter update to add a system to deposit the money you earn in-game into your real world bank account.

Kinda seems like the things that stick most deeply in humans' memories are less purely fun things, and more things that were inconvenient or you struggled with.

Also, it was good how the Buddies you hired made food for you.

Every time there's a new Monster Hunter, a whole bunch of things get more convenient, but there are times I get nostalgic for the life of growing plants in fields, hitting trees with hammers to catch insects, blowing up mines for ore...

For some reason, in the band in my dream, I was on ukulele.

It sounds so plausible that I'd say "This box lunch is super tasty, what the heck, LOL," is the thing.

I was eating a train box lunch in someone else's dream.

RT @yuuyu_ssry OSTER happened to be there on the train, where she was sitting on the ground and devouring a box lunch like "This is super tasty, what the heck, LOL"

RT @yuuyu_ssry Had a dream of a worldline where Vocaloid producers with supernatural abilities were gathered at a school in Kyoto and, having various agendas, sought to destroy monsters spreading throughout the world. I was heading to enroll there myself, but I got swept away by a river, it was rough.

I had a dream I started a band with my followers and it was mega fun, but it was just a dream...

May 10th, 2021

Ever since having to stay home, games have saved me a whole lot.

I'm tired of a world where I can't meet anyone, but I'm doing my best being at home.

I have a report for everyone.
I've reached Hunter Rank 200.
This ends the report.

Toro Puzzle, thank you for the numerous bizarrely viral tweets... It's a memorable game.
