I forgot that I was doing weekly updates on my covers here. Whoops. Oh well, I've posted a lot since last time, so I'll just do a quick update on some of the better ones.

Cruel Angel's Thesis:





God Knows:





Little Busters (The Remake):





Still Alive:





Want You Gone:





Yuuyake no Marginal:





Anyways, I don't think I'll continue with weekly updates unless people specifically say they want them, in which case I can easily make it happen. Otherwise I'll just do periodic bulk updates like this one.

...Unless I do another original song like Gentle Jena, in which case it'll get a separate post.

So I just spent 50 minutes of my day watching this. Trying to process what I just watched is hard, there's just so much information to take in. I watched it alongside OriginalRen, SuikaShoujo and The Major, yet despite our best efforts, our brains simply were no match for the depth and intricacy this anime provides.

I'll try to give you a feel, a small sample of what it feels like to watch "Issho ni Sleeping: Sleeping with Hinako", but I truly believe that the only real way to appreciate this show is to just watch it yourself.

So first off we have our heroine Hinako. Hinako really likes to sleep. Her main trait as a character is not being able to fix the strap on her shirt.



As you can see from this cleverly crafted angle, this entire anime is told in first person perspective. But we're just scratching the surface of how thick the plot really gets.

After Hinako changes clothes, covering your face so you don't see her changing, even though she just ends up sleeping in her underwear anyway, she goes to sleep.

And thus, our sleep adventure begins!





That is the face of pure bliss.



Here we have some amazing shots that truly depict the wonders of a 2D girl sleeping.





A real good close up of the heroine, it's almost like she's breathing on you





In this shot here, you can see Hinako's breasts changing sizes, giving us a clear reason why Hinako just can not get the left strap of her shirt to stay in place, her left breast simply doesn't have as much mass.






This shot here is a classic. The subtle twitch Hinako's leg makes each time really provides livelyness to her sleep, making you feel like you're sleeping right next to her.







10 minutes in and the anime really ramps it up by having Hinako turn to the other side. In my opinion this was one of their best moves yet.







Here we get a first glimpse of Hinako's windowsill which displays a clock and a vase with a plant. This is a very intringuing as the clock displays no numbers, a fact that will become really important later on so make sure you keep it in mind.







Another very rare shot of Hinako's armpit, one of my personal favorites if I daresay so myself. The disproportionally sized breasts really help elevate that armpit.







18 minutes in and the biggest game changer yet, Hinako makes use of one of her pillows! We can neither confirm nor deny if there's any significance behind this pose and the pillow's peculiar shape.







And just 30 seconds later we are shown Hinako's sleep eating abilities.







This is one of the rarest shots in the whole story, at the 22:22 minute mark, Hinako dangles her arm from the bed. What a delightful display of character.







And this 24 minute mark is the crucial turning point where we have a clear view of Hinako's room and lo and behold, nobody is sleeping next side her, even though we're supposed to be there, what could this possibly mean!?







At the 26 minute mark, Hinako has a dream about the moment we confessed to her and she gladly accepted our feelings. While the dream itself lasted a mere 10 seconds, I could really feel a deep emotional connection with Hinako's character just from watching her sleep for the past 26 minutes.







And in the next minute, Hinako wakes up. I'm sure we were thinking the same thing, and that is how much we love each other. Hinako, being the amazing girlfriend she is, sings us a lullaby with really inspiring lyrics such as "Go to sleep, go to sleep on Hinako's chest" which have the result of making her fall asleep.







At the 30 minute mark, Hinako has yet another dream, this time about when she was training hard to lose weight, she even gives us advice on how to be BIG like Hinako.







And now, the biggest game changer yet, Hinako falls off her bed! My heart could barely take it, seeing Hinako fall on the floor after 30 minutes of sleeping really came out of nowhere, this anime sure knows how to tug on your heart strings.







And now starts the most romantic scene in an anime I have ever seen.








What a straightforward approach. Hinako tops all those tsunderes in generic romcoms, you don't get this level of romance too often.








Of course we have a really deep connection with Hinako, and she reassures us of that by returning our feelings (even though we didn't really say anything, I'm sure our feelings got acress).



I had to hold back my emotions over how realistic everything got, the intense urge to kiss my screen really started to come out.








*doki doki*





Hinako wastes no time though, she knows what her main goal is, this woman has her priorities set straights, that's why right after this she once again heads to bed and instantly falls asleep. Pro sleepers really are something else.







But the thrilling ride isn't over yet, can you believe they still have more in store? This time, Hinako invites us to sleep on the same bed as her. My heart almost jumped out of my chest. The anime really makes this a realistic experience by tilting the camera 90 degrees. It truly felt like I was right next to Hinako.







[immersion intensifies]








35 minutes in, Hinako does yet another unpredictable thing, she decides to get a night snack. Gosh, this anime really doesn't hold back on the plot twists.







Brushing your teeth is important too. Even if you didn't eat anything. Deep.







Once again, after falling asleep, Hinako falls on the floor. This time facing the other way, I liked that change of pace, this anime really knows when to spice it up.







She doesn't forget her girlfriend duties though and reminds us we are also an entity, a sentient being, and thus we need sleep as well. Notice how her strap keeps sagging lower and lower, symbolizing we're reaching the end of our journey.







After she falls asleep, Hinako has one last dream. In this one though, she ended up getting fat due to eating so many snacks. I'm sure she'll resume her training the next day!







And now, after a whole 40 minutes of Hinako sleeping, morning comes, and this is where the plot really thickens!




You see, after this, Hinako sleeps with us again, twice, do you not see what this means!?




This whole time, we've actually been trapped in a dream world, but not just that, we were trapped in a dream world, inside a dream world, inside a dream world, inside a dream world, and we weren't a human being either, we were a ghost that posessed random objects around Hinako's room in order to try to wake her from the dream by looking at her body from several different angles. Remember the clock I mentioned at the beginning? What was missing? Pointers! That's because in this dream world, there's no time flow! We've been stuck sleeping with Hinako over and over, that's why she always wears the same outfit when she sleeps.







I could barely see this coming, it came by so fast my brain just had no time to process it.




This anime is a deconstruction of the human psyche, one that if you're not paying attention to, you will miss its profound message, the 50 minute length time really manages to portray to intricacies of the brain by having the same still shots over and over again across the timeline, you really feel like you're diving into Hinaki's profound sleepiness and tracing its patterns.




The emotional bonds you manage to form with Hinako as you watch her sleep from every possible angle really make this a standout from the crowd. You can not get this deep level of characterization anywhere else.



It brought me to tears as my eyes were strained while I wtched 50 minutes of a girl sleeping on a bed, making me empathize with her.




The story sucks you in, almost making you fall asleep just like Hinako.



This 16 year old girl who can't put on a shirt strap properly is the apogee of all female characters. If you haven't used the term "waifu" now, I'm sure this anime will change your mind.




Issho ni Sleeping: Sleeping with Hinako is, without a doubt, the best anime ever made.

You know what's interesting, is that I'm not actually TRYING to do 3 covers a week. I'm amazed that the number has been exactly the same for the past few weeks, despite schedule changes and all that. Oh well, it's not like it's a BAD thing.

Anyways, new releases for the week:

Ningyo Hime- this one came out pretty well.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h2wo1seKwSo

My Soul, Your Beats!- I did this one because I've wanted to do it for years to celebrate the release of Hell's Kitchen and First Beat.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IeUF660-niI

Lilium- I used to love this song. I love it a little bit less after singing it multiple times in a row. This was my attempt at doing something "different," and, well... hmm. It's not terrible, but my god, never again.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pTgbm1TGYSA

And then there's one more thing: a collaboration between Kitty-tama and I on "Find the Blue." If you only listen to one of my covers this week, please please PLEASE make it this one. We worked reeeally hard on it, and since I didn't mix it, it doesn't sound like the screams of a dying cat.

Another week, another post. Let's get to the point, since I don't feel too great right now and want to stop moving for the rest of the night.

First, Renai Circulation, which I got a request for a couple posts back.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h8Yh3VCAP7M

Next up, Distorted Pain. Denkare is the shit.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oi8h34JLn_o

Finally, Pandora no Rakuen from the euphoria OVA. My pick of the week, without a doubt. It was worth the months it took to find the instrumental.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GicyQ1ZrPG4


Now, hopefully I'll get my laptop back soon and be able to record. (My desktop doesn't have a microphone. Yaay.) If nothing else, I have an actual written blog post planned for the near future, so I won't be totally inactive.

Well, my first post like this was a success, so let's do it again, shall we? Great! Let's get down to the meat of this post.

This was apparently the week of full versions, as 2 out of my 3 were full versions of songs I had already done. For example, the full version of Clear's OP, Garasu no Loneliness:


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hlNCfCjg5-o

But sandwiched in between those two was a slightly more... ambitious project. This is probably my pick for the week in terms of quality and overall pride in my work.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VJ9RxxZPm1c

And finally, the full version of a song that's near and dear to my heart.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EeZg3t-EHGE

That's it for now, hopefully I'll be back with more next week! Thanks for listening!

Mr. Meogii's First Recognition Post.


Hello Guys ! Meogii here, bringing you your ever so loved members' highlight. Today we will be zoning in on Suikashoujo. She has been a member of our community for almost a year now and it pains me to see that the majority of us do not yet know what she's been up to. She enjoys singing, so much so that she has taken it upon herself to make song covers to go along with her music. I don't know about you, but I don't think I'd ever find enough courage to allow other people to listen to me sing. Be it in real life or over the Internet, such a feat requires confidence - something I'm sure Suikashoujo has in her great and pleasurable singing. Down below you'll find her latest video so if you like it, be sure to check out her channel for more awesomeness. From the community and myself, we wish you all the best regarding your future works.

Hey guys, so I was thinking about how I wanted to use this blog in terms of promoting my song covers, and I realized that making a new post every time I upload something is overkill, since- for the moment, at least- I'm uploading multiple times a week. So for the foreseeable future, I'll be making a post with links to everything I've done that week.

First off is one that's a week and one day old, but it's new enough that I'll count it.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SKBg9wMf_Y4

Next is one from a few days ago. Honestly, this is probably the weakest of the bunch, so prepare yourself if you subject yourself to it:

This is a few days old at this point, but seeing as I'm just now creating this blog, I figured it would be nice to start off with a link to a project I'm really proud of.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jKl5hnGsI3M

This is Gentle Jena from Planetarian, with lyrics I wrote myself. I had a lot of fun with this, and I may do more similar projects with VN BGMs in the future. The lyrics and some explanation of said lyrics are in the video description, if you're curious.

By the way, I'll probably do my first review soon. I haven't decided which VN to do it on yet, but look forward to it, I guess.
