Hahaha, no I live in the USA, my school went ahead and preloaded Forticlient onto all the laptops, the worst idea ever made, it wont even let me check my email at homeReally?! How come? Do you mean just for you, or is it whatever country your in or something?
Awesome, but I think that her "Rose of May" is still my favorite of hers. She has a lovely voice, though.
My friend Delzethin is currently running a GoFundMe account to pay for some extended medical troubles he's had. He's had chronic issues and lifetime troubles that have really crippled his career opportunities, and he's trying to get enough funding to get back to a stable medical situation. If you like his content, please support his GoFundMe, or even just contribute to his Patreon.
He can really use a hand with this, and any support you can offer is appreciated.
Never really been a fan of her work. She has a good voice, but eh.
whoever it is, I still like Utada Hikaru more, especially since I can actually listen to her work
This post brought to you by the power of boobs. Dear lord them boobs. Amen
Objective: she's a YouTube poster who arranges music from popular Final Fantasy titles and adds lyrics to them.
Subjective: these lyrics are usually meant to in some way reflect the story of the game and as a result come off as pretty corny and stale. Her voice is good, but hardly fantastic. I generally feel about her work the same way I do about fan fiction: if she really had talent, she'd be doing something a little bit more original.
I liked her English version of Suteki da Ne. I would have preferred hearing an English version of it in the actual game. I never liked that they said that they kept Suteki da Ne in Japanese for artistic reasons. Its meaning and beauty are mostly lost outside of Japan.
I believe in the power of humanity.
I don't think this arrangement is as exciting as the original. It doesn't have a "peak" so to say, so I think it's a bit flat. I don't know what it's called in musical terms or whatnot.
everything is wrapped in gray
i'm focusing on your image
can you hear me in the void?
I prefer the original myself. I haven't cared for some of the "lyrical arrangements" that have been done to FF songs not even some of the official ones, but whatever. I prefer listing to the music itself I guess.
True beauty exists in things that last only for a moment.
Current Mood: And it's been a long December and there's reason to believe. Maybe this year will be better than the last. I can't remember all the times I tried to tell myself. To hold on to these moments as they pass...
You are of course entitled to your own opinion, but I feel your views on fanfiction are a tad unfair. Some of the fanfictions I have read actually look like they could easilly be part of the actual subject, they are beutifully written, and I genuinly think they could easily be mistaken to be official at times. Also, did you know that many actual writers actually start off with fanfiction? There's more talent to it that it seems.
Secondly, the lyrics to her songs are supposed to only match the game from one angle, if you listen to the "You're Not Alone" song it does indeed fit the moment in the game, but also it works as an actual song, it fits to real life as well, and it really speaks to me, but that's for personal reasons.
Of course there is well-written fan fiction. I'm not saying that everyone who writes fan fiction is automatically a talentless hack (although the vast majority are); I'm merely suggesting that those who are talented enough to write quality fan fiction are squandering their talent in doing so. I generally regard exploring someone else's world as a waste of one's own ability. You even said it yourself: many authors start off with fan fiction. The important part of that is that fan fiction is where they start but it is not where they end.
