OTAKU-ELITE Recordings music Update - Ruby and Aquamarine

by OTAKU-ELITE Recordings

Self research on the original work "Ruby and Aquamarine"

ruby and aquamarine

lyrics by 七条レタス


一人では止まってしまう 時間の全てが
鈍色の月明かり その下で 死ぬ事もできず

火のような思いが帯びた熱を
紅い宝石に喩うならば
燃やし尽くして舞い降った灰を
沈める海はどこにある?

ねえ 応えてよ 気づいているなら
ねえ 教えてよ 次の報いに身が朽ちる前に

応えてよ ねえ 教えてよ


一人では支えきれない 呪いの全てが
この壊れた体に 今日もまた 錘(おもり)になって
一人では繋げられない 祈りの全ては
どこかで君の影を 捉えただけで 届かない

紅く染まって燻った罪の
焼くような痛みを越えたなら
爛れた素肌を照らし癒す
藍い光 そこにある?

ああ 知らないよ 気づくこともない
ああ 今もまだ 耐えることしかできやしないのに

鎮めてよ ああ 鎮めてよ


火のような思いが帯びた熱を
紅い宝石に喩うならば
燃やし尽くして舞い降った灰を
沈める海はどこにある?

ねえ 応えてよ 気づいているなら
ねえ 教えてよ この煉獄に身をくべる前に

応えてよ 君ならばきっと
ねえ 教えてよ あるべき答えを知っているから



Well the post about updating the recent album. More info here.

Vocaloid SONIKA - English Vocaloid




Vocaloid SONIKA - a brand-new plug-in VIRTUAL VOCALIST modelled on the voice of a young girl pop singer, and powered by the latest Yamaha VOCALOID2 Singing Synthesis Technology.

SONIKA is a sweet virtual voice at your fingertips..

SONIKA is a new cyberspace starlet who will hit those high notes every time with perfect accuracy.

Whether it's sweet and pure leads, harmonies or backing vocals, Sonika can sing any word from the English language (and other languages too with a little work).

Sonika is also very well suited if you want to be adventurous and experimental, since her voice can be easily modified and shaped in many ways.

In addition to singing any words or combination of syllables or phonemes you can imagine, SONIKA will spread any sustained vowel (or voiced consonant) across as many notes as you like, with perfect legato. You can select from several different natural vibrato types and drag and drop your chosen type to any note or notes, and control the time-position and amount of the vibrato.

And that's just the beginning - you have control over all of the following parameters, which you can bring to bear on any part of your creation:

- Changing syllables/phonemes
- Timing of each note (precise position/length).
- Vibrato (you can change its type/position/amount/frequency).
- Volume
- Attack.
- Crescendo or diminuendo
- Pitch bend (amount, and positionable in time).
- Glide (portamento).
- Resonance (Frequency/bandwidth/amplitude)
- Harmonics.
- Noise.
- Brightness
- Clearness.
- Gender factor.

Key Features of VOCALOID2

VOCALOID2 is the latest version of VOCALOID, which includes major improvements in usability and synthesis quality. Here are the key features:

  • GUI: The VOCALOID Editor (score editing tool) of VOCALOID2 has a cool new look with improved user functionality.
  • A much more realistic and natural sounding vocal: The synthesis engine of VOCALOID2 uses a different signal processing technique from Version 1, creating a clearer and more natural vocal.
  • Realtime Keyboard Performance (VST Instrument): Written lyrics can be assigned a note by touch of a keyboard. Now you can "sing" using a keyboard.
  • New functionalities and improvements: Much easier to use functionalities are newly implemented, which reduce workloads in creating your music. Existing functionalities are also improved.
  • Note auditioning: If you press a note, singing with lyrics and pitch will be assigned to the note. Instantly check lyrics and notes.
  • Transparent control track: Control track for controlling timbre is transparent, so you can check two parameters at once.
  • Toggling between Playback and Rendering You can specify playback/rendering mode for each track. By rendering the finished track, you can reduce CPU load in playback. Maximum number of tracks is 16.
  • Expression control: You can easily specify musical expression (attack and vibrato) with this intuitive user interface.


Key features:

VOCALOID Editor:
- Piano-roll editor;
- Note editing / Automatic phonetic conversion / Phonetic editing / Note auditioning;
- Transparent control track;
- Toggling between playback/rendering;
- Expression control;
- Synchronization with host sequencer through ReWire

ZUN Pose Classroom

As the title, all ZUN art were his trademark of his desired pose for all of the characters he created. And due to this parody, a research made a special classroom for this study of ZUN pose.

The charisma popularity super masterpiece damaku STG “Touhou Project” where also 13 years release are done continuously since 1996! As for this work, you think that about you say is not, that the character ignored the structure of the human body to be extreme is known by the fact that the parenthesis good deciding pose is taken, but I think that the parenthesis it is very good. From the time before and as for favorite I standing regardless and thinking as like reasonable thing ze! Because parody it is many and very limit it is permitted on Touhou. With this site 'ZUN Pose' names these poses and gradually to increase degree of hardness while which tries challenging to the pose of 10 kinds!
