When a bot gets referred to as "the bot in question" and that ends up in the trends, it bears a resemblance to how in Harry Potter, Voldemort ends up being called "he who shall not be named."

I could stan personified Roset-chan... Cute...

Thoughtlessly desiring a book featuring all the Non-Human Followers characters. (I want it)

Hallucinating the existence of a Tesroset doujinshi.

Is it true there's a Tesroset doujinshi coming out at Kemoket????

But man, to do it for 20 years and still have new discoveries while also being stimulated by it... Is the amount of content in composition wild or what???

It's been over 20 years since I started composing, but whenever I make music, I can't help but feel the amassing of 20 years of idiosyncracies.

I'm doing the work of just listening to songs I made and going "I really am a genius!!!!!"

If I became king, I'd hire maids who whispered "it's okay" into my ear all day.

This variants system breaks the game balance so much it's not any fun. The corona dev team's got no idea what they're doing.

Number one thing I want nerfed in the update: Coronavirus

Today I'm making a song with some augs I had left over in the fridge.

Being busy with work just means I'll be able to make lots of announcements on a time delay, so keep at it!

I wanna make an announcement soon! Announcement dependency!

June 7th, 2021

This game's always narrowing it down to either feeling good or dying.

Good things about longsword:
- Strong counter
Bad things about longsword:
- If you miss a counter you die

It's a super obvious thing, but foreign listeners are still listening to my songs with Japanese lyrics, huh... Thinking that makes me consider strange ideas like "I wonder if they're like "What is ICCHORA?"..." [from Inappropriate Lady's lyrics, basically meaning "my best dress"]

Due to Miku Expo yesterday, Inappropriate Lady got into the charts in the America rankings, which is pumping me up.

I've uploaded my announcement to YouTube as well, so please check it out.
[MV] I Have An Announcement For You All. - OSTER project feat. Roset

The half-tone difference completely changes the level of stylishness... Such an amusin' musical woman.

I dunno anything about the names of functions of scales, but I do stuff thinking "this is sexy" all the time.

Diagram.

["It's going down with E-D-C, so next's gotta be B...!!" (Bb: THIS NOTE IS SEXY) "Wha!! It went past it?! (daring to go a half-tone lower)" (B) "Aaaaa <3 <3 <3 <3 (hit with pleasure equivalent to having been disconcerted)"]

Unexplored territory. [Screenshot of searching Twitter for "half-tone progression areola attack" and getting no results.]

Making a picture drawn for me my wallpaper increases my happiness level.

Grant my favorite artists eternal life.

Drawing Is Fun

:dog: :paws: :dog:

SSR Roset-chan!!!!

Chord progression jokes might be categorized as academic jokes too.

The more academic a joke is, the more you can laugh at that discrepancy, so all kinds of fields exist for the sake of enjoying jokes. (radical view)

I suddenly recalled a memory from long ago of asking "How was the philosophy test?", getting the response "It was tabula rasa," and bursting out laughing.

June 6th, 2021

It's the middle of the night, so to go saying whatever I like: I feel like Inappropriate Lady Mei-chan sleeps with girls. (personal opinion)

If you don't, try asking your mom or dad! (don't actually ask them)

All the adults know what these lyrics mean, right...? Right??

Truly, I was fidgeting the whole time with happiness that this song was picked... The emotion of getting to hear it with a live band... Mei-chan was perfectly sexy and cute, too... :rose:

Inappropriate Lady was performed at Miku Expo 2021. :dancing woman: I'm super glad!!! #MIKUEXPO2021

This. (?)

There's no right or wrong when it comes to values, and if you start judging them and it comes to a point where you can't even forgive yourself, it gets truly exhausting, so it's important that we all let ourselves be different and stay in good mental health.

This got me thinking that this is the way people's values diverge.

I'm not going to say that's correct, and I know there are people who'd prefer to throw out anything sad as if it never happened and thus find it easier being denied, but still.

I'm of the opinion of taking even your sadness along and making the future bright... Saying the time you spent being sad was nothing but a waste might be the saddest conclusion of all.

I feel like before, when I wanted to encourage people, I'd write lyrics that were like "drive out the sadness and cheer up," but now I kinda feel like if I were told that, it'd hurt and feel like I was being denied for feeling sad, so I've come down with an illness where I can't write that kind of thing.

It's sad when it feels like my works have lost spontaneity, but I still have lots of spontaneity for doing stupid stuff, so maybe it's not like I've necessarily lost stamina.

my new gear...

I wanna say so much I'm gonna cry.

No, but seriously, I'm super happy.

I won't say much... There's still a second and third showing, so witness it with your own eyes...!!

Thank you, all of VOCALOID. #MIKUEXPO2021

I have no kintama [balls]

The weight of the time I've spent with Miku-chan is becoming like a black hole.

[Re: Miku Expo 2021] A free Miku-chan concert is too amazing... Let's watch. :eyes:

A friend who's good at music.

RT @kiro247 Non-Human Followers is about gathering non-human followers and creating Japari Park.

June 5th, 2021

The event that's only for my followers, Me-ket.

I wanna make another Kiritan song.

Non-human followers, please step forward and say your names.

Non-Human Followers

When you become an adult, you can put whatever you want on your salad and no one will scold you.

Using my head to write lyrics wears me out too much, so I wanna write lyrics like "If you put white rice on white rice, that's a super huge serving."

People comment that I'd probably enjoy it if I studied music theory, but feel like it's enjoyable if I can just know the names of my faves and shout them. (aberrant)

In my case, it's not like I'm using music theory to put together compositions, it just feels handy to know what names are given to my favorite sounds so I can shout them when I feel emotional. It's the same as screaming the name of your favorite idol at a concert.

You never know what meaning the present you're struggling through will eventually have, so go ahead and live holding the present precious. (words of an old person)

Thinking about how in the future, there will be many more creators, but there will never be any more creators who were working hard to improve themselves back during the dawn of Miku, makes me feel kind of proud and kind of lonely.

[Retweeting the Among Us chords video] In which aug-san, with whom I have had a long relationship, dies.

[Re: the popularity of her announcement song] I'm glad I could make an announcement to so many people.

June 4th, 2021

Two girls being friendly with each other is cute, so if you want to be two girls who are friendly and watch that as another personality, it's possible if you connect three controllers.

People who make sexy songs are sexy.

People who draw cute art are cute.

I've become an old-timer demon who just recommends piano synths in other people's streams...

Lyrics are so hard I'm gonna go nuts, but I'm already nuts, so stop worrying and make 'em already.

Name concealed. (not saying name is concealed)

RT @iroha_sasaki A monster hunter with the unique tastes of getting abnormally stimulated by chord progressions. On her back, she has scars that spell "SPITFIRE."

I have songs I've produced by opening up two bottles of wine and dancing in my panties, so I'm allowing myself to write lyrics while drinking too.

Is it loneliness of no one understanding you, or loneliness of not being able to understand anyone? Even if they're both called loneliness, I feel like increasing the resolution on that loneliness lets you see their character.

I thought that fundamentally, humans can't share their feelings with anyone without exception, which is why everyone is alone, but if you start to think about how everyone without exception is the same in being alone, then they're not alone, right?, which results in a total paradox.

Karaoke version. Please, announce to your heart's content.

There are three precious augs in my life.

I'm glad to have been able to make this announcement.

[Announcement]
I have an announcement for you all. (key=C) #TesrosetTransmission
[Not going to bother with a full translation, but it starts out with "I have an announcement for you all," then gets sidetracked by an aug ("augment-san!! My life couldn't have started without you!!"), then basically just describes what's happening with the chords. "Well then, this concludes my announcement. I hope to have your continued guidance and encouragement."]

Sunny-side-up eggs
Look like boobs
Cute, huh

Not saying I have the power to resolve your troubles.

I wanna do that too.

I really like streams about talking out troubles, since you can learn people's values and thought processes through their troubles.

June 3rd, 2021

Today was a day of thinking people good at singing are good at singing, that people good at art are good at art, that kind people are kind, and that cute people are cute.

When you're in a state like super armor where you don't flinch but damage still goes through, the lack of flinching tends to make you not notice damage, neglect to manage your health, and die. Both in games and in real life.

so many GOKAGO [blessings] with me

The first thing I listened to on my new airpods was Claire-san's voice... :bell:

Whatever worries you have, someday the sun will become a red giant and burn everything up, so go ahead and live assured.

I'd really like to see Master Utsushi loving Kamura Village so much that he arrives at the conclusion he needs to destroy it.

Master Utushi around volume 32 of the series, unsure of who's an enemy and who's an ally: "I'll destroy Kamura."

A cute person saying you're cute is as powerful as piercing a weak body part with a Critical Eye + Weakness Exploit + Critical Boost Helmsplitter. (Monster Hunter brain)

Get-togethers where the only thing I partially remember is saying "It's a waste to drink such good beer when I'm this drunk... I'll definitely forget this taste, but it's delicious..." are wild.

Th-thump! A girls' sleepover!
No way something isn't going to happen... (drinking tons of whiskey at 5 AM)

And thus I learned that most people in the world are not stimulated by chord progressions, and those who are are perverts.

Whenever I try to remember why I started making music, I reach the conclusion that I don't know why... I just liked music and had a computer at home, but can't think of an event that tied those together... I just sort of started making music.

It's sad how Tesro-sama and Roset-chan can't both star together...

Always watching other people's streams and being like "having someone who'll stream with you is nice..."

After all, some people feel good when they drink and some people feel bad!!!!

There are people who say my progressions are gross, but they feel good to me.

I've lost the stamina to spend a day outside from all this staying inside, so I need to rehabilitate myself this month.

Today's work is... *badumbadumbadumbadum*... Outside!!

June 2nd, 2021

I wanna hear OSTER songs made by someone other than me.

I want to hear Tesro-sama sing. Please sing.

Making things is an act that whittles away at your life.

I was so exhausted I slept for nearly 10 hours.

June 1st, 2021

I like the saying "you can dream because you know reality."

I think the joy portrayed by someone who knows suffering resounds more than the joy portrayed by someone who only knows joy.

I've become a masochist who thinks it's not just joy but also suffering that makes your life rich, and thus sees times of suffering as an opportunity...

The things that made my life rich were always the non-essential ones.

Lyrics are even more directly related to the richness of your life than music, so I want to make my life rich.

I want to be repaid for as much as I suffer in the act of creation, but I believe that suffering really does give me strength.

I really did work super hard.

Today I tried for the first time the thing of printing out sheet music and working on lyrics on a park bench and at a coffee shop, and this might be good.

I have the strength of not changing my mind once I've decided to do something, and the weakness of not being able to change my mind once I've decided to do something.

The life of a creator is having something you should prioritize, but having no ideas for it, and having to endure the torture of being unable to do anything at all.

The moment you speak something, you take responsibility.

I avoid saying I hate the rainy season for the sake of people who like the rainy season.

I'm tired of thinking about complicated things, so I want a job where I get to sleep in a furry lady's lap and drink whiskey from a baby bottle.

May already...

May 31st, 2021

So when someone opens up about their painful experiences to me, I want to value the feeling of how they endured that pain to tell me.

To tell others about painful experiences, you first have to recall the memories of painful times lurking deep down, and doing so already deals serious damage, so it's hard to be able to talk to others about painful experiences... I super get that.

It didn't get through to people who make music either, so maybe I'm the only person who targets the areolas in her music... My identity... (?)

It probably gets the point across to people who make music, but unfortunately, people who don't are likely to be like "the hell are you talking about?"

I don't know much theory terminology, but it's like I set a landing point of "next, I want to go to this chord!", then instead get to a half-tone up or down from there before going to said chord, so the metaphor that makes most sense to me ends up being areolas...

I like the kind of music that doesn't target the nipples, but the areolas. (?????)

May 30th, 2021

Seeing two pretty girls kiss will extend your lifespan by 5 billion years. (self-researched)

When I use my head, I get hungry, so maybe if I use my stomach, my head will empty.

They'll never implement the Twitter checkmark submission button, so I might be unofficial my entire life...

I'm going to a world where the sharp of B isn't C.

This is spot-the-difference material.

This kind of thing can happen on rare occasion if you draw without looking at the real thing, so I definitely get it, but still...

Understand the problem here?

I want to get a job where I can knead dogs or cats all day.

???????

My options are either finish this song today or die.

May 29th, 2021

When you get aggressive toward others or deny them, it's because you have no confidence. I learned that from the fox bully in Zootopia.

Denying yourself leads to denying others, and denying others leads to denying yourself, so I want to not self-restrict my way of living.

It's a terrifying household where I start drinking whiskey at 5 AM.

I wanna drink so bad, I'm drawing nothing but pictures of drinking. (?)

I wanna hang out soon, and I wanna go on trips...

Since corona happened, I've had a clear lack of adolescence... The day I saw fireworks on the Shonan shore and played Smash Bros. until morning was the peak...

I have a C7
I have an A♭

Uh...

Upeer Structure Triad [sic]

I can't anymore... I'll use Dual Blades...

Why???

"Gunlance is cool, I wanna try it... How do I use Wyrmstake Cannon???"
Instructions: "A, or else ↓+A, or else X, or else A+X."
"???????"
[Screenshot explaining possible inputs for Wyrmstake Cannon: After 2 Shelling, A / After Charge Shot, ↓+A / After Full Burst, A / After Guard Edge, A / After Wide Sweep, X / (unlabeled) X+A then X+A]

I've worked a ton these past two months, so I'm earning a ton of money.
The problem is, I can only use that money in Kamura Village.

May 28th, 2021

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.

May 23rd, 2021

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...

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

This sleeplessness is abnormal.

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

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.
