And I am back! Not that long a gap, thankfully. Finally found some time to sing at least one of the lyrics I wrote last year. From Vampire Knight Guilty, this is 'Suna no Oshiro' or as I titled this, 'Castle of Sand'.

Darn, singing the chorus was tough. The verse was a lot of fun, though I could not keep the creepiness factor in as well as the other Kanon Wakeshima song, "Still Doll". Ah well... at least I finally have this up! I hope you enjoy this! ^^

Song: Suna no Oshiro / Castle of Sand
Artist: Kanon Wakeshima
Anime: Vampire Knight Guilty

As the clouds of white silently drift
Across the sky they flow above me
While the me whose ashened and broken
Just watched intently as they all disappear

Need to die

Gather all the stars above
And create this fragile castle of sand
Just like a whispered prayer I offer to the sea
They will dissolve and will fall
To where they were meant to be
Waves that will wait to come and sweep me off my feet

A world of darkness
A world of silence

Though my prayer flickers in the wind
Like a candle in the greatest of storms
Yet even so I'll keep it lit faithfully
Though I know now I may falter
O'er and over again
With these freezing cold hands

I'll create this fragile castle of sand
Waves that will wait to come and sweep it all away
Ah, only for you

And here's another one to last you until my next update. This was a request around last year, and I decided to give it a try as I found the lyrics uplifting.

Singing this was tough, as the original singer was pretty high pitched. So I decided to play it safe and lower the pitch as I sang, which was still tricky but at least I managed to not sound like a screeching monkey. I sang this despite being really tired so by the end of the song I was exhausted! But ah well, better something than not having anything up at all.

Enjoy! I hope the lyrics did some justice. I kept changing certain lines so I hope this final version works.

Song: Blue Bird
Artist: Ikimono Gakari
Anime: Naruto Shippuuden

I'm gonna fly away
Won't turn around anymore now
I'll spread my wings and aim
To that blue
To that blue
Vast open sky

Although I've yet to remember what true sadness means
And although I've only learnt to feel what true sorrow is
But all these feelings inside that I've had towards you
They have now turned to words that are ever true

It's almost like I've waken from these broken dreams that led nowhere
So now I'll spread these wings of mine and take this chance

I'm gonna fly away
Won't turn around anymore now
I'll spread my wings and aim
To the clouds
To the clouds
Streaked cross the sky

If I can break these chains
I know I'll find what I had lost
Until I'm free, I'll fly
To that blue
To that blue
Vast open sky

Far in the distance a window that's old and worned down
It seems to break and give in with such a lost mourning sound
I'm just so tired of this cage that's restraining my world
And so I'm gonna leave all of this behind

Here in my heart I feel it now, a beat so strong it carries me
So now I'll kick this window down and take this chance

I'm gonna run away
I know I can if I believe
The voice that tempts me so
Is beyond
Is beyond
This distance

That blinding light I seek
I long to have it within my grasp
So I'll pursue and aim
To that blue
To that blue
Vast open sky

Yes I know how it feels
To fall and lose it all
But even so I'll carry on
To reach for the sun up above

I'm gonna fly away
Won't turn around anymore now
I'll spread my wings and aim
To those clouds
To those clouds
Streaked cross the sky

If I can break these chains
I know I'll find what I had lost
Until I'm free, I'll fly
To that blue
To that blue
Vast open sky

Aaaaaaand I'm back! *gets pelted with rotten vegetables and tomatoes* Eep! Okay, I know I disappeared for over half a year now. Like I said, I've started working and well, trying to find time myself has gotten even harder than before.

Thankfully, even though I've lost my past lyrics, I haven't quite given up on writing lyrics just yet. I'm gonna keep trying, even if it takes far longer than it should! Even if my voice fades and becomes unbearable, I hope my lyrics prevails. Thank you all for the amazing support!

Here's my latest offering. This is the vocal version of "Negai ga Kanau Basho" or "The Place Where Wishes Come True" in English. There is a soundtrack version available in CLANNAD's soundtrack, but the vocal version was never used, which is a pity as it's really a beautiful song. I recommend listening to the vocal version first by clicking here.

I sang this acapella as I couldn't find a good instrumental to fit the vocal version. Plus, I'd rather sing it in my pitch rather than being high pitched and sounding weird. So here's what you get... The volume's a bit loud as I messed up the settings so do set your volume to low while listening to this.

Song: Negai Ga Kanau Basho
Artist: Lia
Anime: CLANNAD

Once again, I seem to have forgotten it all
The flowers swaying from the morning breeze
How the sky looks through this broken prism I hold
How I wish I could feel, how I wish I could hope

Once again, I laugh as though that I do not know
That sad summer dream that haunted my mind
Seem to melt into these widened gaps in my heart
In dreams and dream again
As I long to have hope

Though I leave and return I am always with you
As silent as a quiet autumn song
Though it can't be heard, a tiny insect will be
Holding its tiny breath eagerly listening

As twilight swallows us whole, I pray that we'll never let go

Past Orion skies we will run together
Winter at last has come to an end
We will reach that hill where we know spring will await
As long as I can feel, as long as I can hope

As long as I can hope

Hey everyone! I'm not sure how many of you had missed me. I certainly have missed creating English fandubs... and I'm sorry for being so slow on updates.

The reason why updates are going to be scarce and slow now is because I lost almost all of my lyrics when my first and even my second laptop was stolen last year in a span of the last 6 months. Things have been hard for me as well as I took a job that didn't give me enough time and freedom to indulge in this.

I'm going to do my best to rewrite and start my work from scratch... as well as resing most of my works as sadly, putfile is now not available, and YouTube is one of the few reliable ones I can use. 4shared is also another option I intend to use but it will take time for me to upload most of my work.

For now, Fields of Hope has been updated. I intend to sing more past lyrics soon as well.

Till then, I thank you for the amazing support you've given me the past years. ^^

Hello everyone! No, I'm not dead. I'm terribly sorry for the lack of updates but real life has seriously taken a toll on me. If I'm not sick, I'm either really busy with assignments or my flatmates are studying and I don't want to disturb them by singing. Anyways, this is just a short update as I will be away for about a month (which means I won't be online during that period).

Why? Because I'm heading to Japan, people! :3 I'm going to Japan as part of an extra studies to learn the language and also more about the Japanese culture. I'll be gone from mid June to July so yeah, I'll probably be occasionally online but I won't have as much time to check on my Youtube and answer any requests or questions. Once I'm back in Malaysia in July, I'll be busy trying to look for work but hopefully I'll find the time to sing, so yes, do look out for me in July.

Songs that have been completed so far but unsung:

"again" by YUI (FMA: Brotherhood OP)
"As it Began" by Crystal Kay
"Ash Like Snow" by the brilliant green (Gundam 00 2nd OP)
"Black Diamond" by Mizuki Nana (Shugo Chara! insert song)
"Suna no Oshiro" or "Castle of Sand" by Wakeshima Kanon (Vampire Knight ED)
"Hare Hare Yukai" by Hirano Aya and others (Suzumiya Haruhi no Yuutsu ED)
"Dakishimete" or "Hold You Tight" by Jungle Smile (Super Gals! ED)
"Papermoon" by TommyFebruary6 (Soul Eater 2nd OP)
"Shadow of Love" by OLIVIA inspi' REIRA (NANA insert song)

A lot of requests done by the looks of it but still unsung. I also have a request. Can anyone help me look or make a really good karaoke version of Full Moon wo Sagashite's first ED "New Future"? The one on Gendou is a fraud and I desperately need the karaoke for this so that I can finally have this one done and uploaded!

Also, I really, really need your opinion on this. A fandubber out there mixed my lyrics with another person's English lyrics to make their own fandub. Have a look.

I honestly do not know how to react to this when this person didn't even ask my permission to use my lyrics that way (I searched through all comments and even personal messages and found no history of even speaking to this person). This person credited me well enough, but I don't quite appreciate having my lyrics cut and paste for convenience like that. But then again, I can't fully claim the lyrics as they're still based on the Japanese one. Should I just ignore the person then? I was credited after all, I just don't like the fact that because the other English version wasn't a full version she decided to cut and paste mine for convenience to sing a full version. So yes, opinions on what I should do would be greatly appreciated.

Till then, I hope everyone's doing well! And yeah, please be patient! I'll be uploading works sometime in July!

As I sit here right now, typing this out, I am blowing my nose and coughing my lungs out. Yes, I have fallen sick again as usual. This has become so common, it's getting annoying. I have 10 lyrics done and have neither the time or the means to sing them and upload them. And I feel terrible cause most of them are requests too. Please bear with me, guys! I'll get them up as soon as I get better!

But for this one song, I got the help of a good friend of mine, Reina, to sing. As I had written an English version for a Hello!Project song, whom she is a big fan of, I asked whether she would be interested in singing it and she jumped on it. XD

I'm not sure if you guys are all right with the fact of me not singing my own lyrics. Trust me, I really want to, and I probably will later on if there are requests to do so, but for now my Uni and health comes first.

This song is my most favourite song ever from the group Buono!, whom I am a big fan of as well. Writing English lyrics for Hello!Project groups is turning out be quite challenging, as they're so catchy on their own in Japanese, it's often hard to try and convey it in English. So I hope the lyrics for this one makes good enough sense.

Also, Reina did her best in singing this and I think she did an amazing job singing this without me guiding her at all! Do check out her other dubs on her YouTube channel, where she puts up her fandubs of H!P songs and others as well. ^^

Until then, enjoy her guide on how to sing this and I hope you like the lyrics!

Song: Renai Rider
Artist: Buono!
Anime: Shugo Chara!

Even if the world we know is coming to an end
Just remember I love you!
Yes, I really, really do love you!

Even though it's hard for me I'll strive on to believe
I want you to realize!
That I really, really do love you!

Wanna say it but I can't
I can't say it but I'll try
To let you know what's in my heart
Oh yes! There is only one hero for me!

As long as this love's within me, I may stumble as I fall
I'll just keep on moving forth! Like a naive novice rider!
As the sunset's just before me, just ride on this path of youth
I'll see it soon as long as I keep riding on

Let the winds of tomorrow blow on another day
I will never be afraid!
I will be the girl who calls the storm!

For my happy ending I will fall into the dirt
Cause I know I'll be all right!
I know I can stand against it all!

Wanna cry those happy tears
But I'll hold it in for now
Until then I'll give a double peace!
Go! Go! Wherever you go, I'll be beside you!

As long as this love's within me, I'll be clumsy as I fall
Just have faith and carry on loving naive novice rider!
I know I'll get hurt someday and though the pain may be too hard
I will believe that I will get my miracle

Even if I lose my way, I know I will be okay
All the words are here in my heart
Oh yes! There is only one hero for me!

As long as this love's within me, I may stumble as I fall
I'll just keep on moving forth! Like a naive novice rider!
As the sunset's just before me, just ride on this path of youth
I'll see it soon as long as I keep riding on


To hear how it's sung, you can check out Reina's version of it on my channel on YouTube:



And that's all for today. Hopefully there will be others willing to help me sing my works, but until then, it's another slow painful wait. XD

I guess when times are dark and when everything you receive seems to point downwards, you tend to fall even further. I'm sorry for my moment of weakness and for letting those harsh comments get to me so much that I forgot that there are people who really do enjoy my works and especially for my singing. Honestly, I'm not a great singer but to know that there are those who like me for who I am is comforting.

So thank you again to everyone who has supported my works and have found some form of joy from it. It is people like you who keep me going.

Now on to some updates. I have resung "When someone wishes" or "Dareka no Negai ga Kanau Koro" by Utada Hikaru. The one I had uploaded on Putfile was deleted without my knowledge and I had lost the original file when my computer crashed long ago. So it really needed to be resung. You can check it out now on YouTube.

Also, I would like to request that those who subscribe to me through FeedBlitz to seriously unsubscribe. The amount of updates it gives when I have clearly not updated, let even touch my blog, is ridiculous. And the last thing I want is for you to be spammed with updates when nothing has changed at all.

For those who still want updates from me can do so through my YouTube account or if you specifically want only my English Fandubs (as I do normal Fandubs as well), there's always my Playlist.

If you don't have a YouTube account and still want to know when I have updated (especially since I'm known for disappearing for months), a discussion is needed. Would you prefer RSS or direct emails? As much as I want to depend on some direct email service, it's all too confusing and may produce the same mistake as FeedBlitz does. So I may need to collect all emails who are interested, create a group and email all of you myself. If you prefer RSS, I'll see what I can do about it. Until then, YouTube is the best for now.

Any other suggestions on where else I can upload my songs (besides Putfile) or to know when I update, please feel free to comment. Thank you! ^^

Due to recent complaints about my singing voice, I am now considering deleting the videos on YouTube. Or at least removing the audio or replace it with a karaoke version instead.

It has been really disheartening for me lately to have my works looked down upon because of my singing... and that isn't the point of why I do this. I do this to write lyrics for everyone to sing along and have fun with the songs they love in a language they understand. Sadly, YouTube being YouTube, there will always be idiots who comment without thinking or caring.

But the last thing I want is for people to not even bother about the lyrics just cause my voice is bad. So I am now considering removing the videos or leaving it there but with the audio of me singing removed. It will still be linked to my blog though.

I wish people would understand that it isn't easy for me to sing. And as much as I want to take singing lessons and improve, I do have a life and I do not have the money or the means to take lessons. Most of the songs I sing here are sung past 1am where I actually sacrifice my time of rest to do all this. So to be told off and to even be told I'm ruining the song is pretty heartbreaking. My voice is limited. I don't have the most awesome voice ever.

With that in mind, I would like to ask a few questions:

1. Is it ok if I delete or remove the vids deemed terrible due to my singing?

2. Should I just remove the audio of me singing while I retain the links to this blog so that those who really have an interest in me singing can hear me sing it in putfile?

3. Should I stop singing altogether and merely post up the lyrics here without me guiding?

4. If my singing is bad, or it doesn't suit the song, should I still attempt to resing it? Or leave it be?

Any other opinions or suggestions as to how I can handle this problem is MUCH welcome. I appreciate the "You sing well, you just need lessons/practice" comments but please consider that I am currently studying and also have my own life to worry about. Thank you.
