Gooseworks, You’re Absolutely Insane And I Love You For It

Okay so I spent at least 30 minutes rambling about my favorite song of all time on Reddit this morning. I’m sharing this with you guys because why not.

My favorite song is Patchwork Staccato by Toa feat. Hatsune Miku. It’s been my favorite since early 2022.

Miku’s tuning sounds so innocent and sad, the way the instrumental builds gives me chills, and I love the repetition in the lyrics, which is normally a pet peeve of mine but here it works cause it actually adds weight to the meaning.

I like the art in the official upload. Miku looks so pretty in a white dress and it looks like a colored pencil style.

Also I know it has little to do with the official song but I adore the choreography in the project diva music video and the one in the concert. I can lowkey see someone teaching a similar choreography in a dance class like ballet or lyrical

But back to the song, the middle part in the bridge with the high doo doo doos would sound absolutely horrible if the tuning couldn’t pull it off. But Toa DID pull it off and it sounds soft but not screechy which is difficult to do.

Speaking of the tuning Miku’s breathes and her little “ahem” are so adorable and fit in so well

Also with the lyrics, as someone who is learning Japanese but doesn’t understand most of this song, they sound so pleasing to listen to. It’s a similar feeling to hearing clever word choice or rhyme in an English song. Part of it has to do with the actual good repetition as mentioned earlier, but also I just like the way the words are pronounced, it sounds nice.

But also with the lyrics and their meaning, while I can’t relate to the song exactly (the only unrequited love I’ve ever felt that actually hurt was for fictional characters lol) I can still sympathize with the singer. Unable to get rid of your feelings for someone who never loved you back, and when you finally do questioning if you can ever be happy again is so melancholy and heartbreaking I love it. It’s even more depressing when you consider that this song is from the perspective of a young girl (going off of the art and the fact Miku is used, unless Toa used this song to vent, which is even more sad), probably in love for the first time. It’s the type of realistic lyrics and meaning I like in great Vocaloid tracks and why I love them so much.

Also I know I already brought up the song’s buildup but it’s one of the best parts. The way it starts quite with a solo Miku, then they add a piano and a few robotic toy sounds, and then by the end you have tons of vocal harmonies and violins and it sounds so full and sweeping AAAAA I LOVE IT.

I think I’ll stop here before I keep writing until the end of time. I know this isn’t structured well but I just had to share this.

Also Toa used random sounds in his songs before Haraguchi Sasuke made it cool (no offense to him, just a common similarity I found in both works).

I normally don’t reblog stuff but oh my gosh WHY does this have less than 1k notes? It’s precious.

Yes I’m behind on another art challenge. Who would’ve guessed

I was going to work more on Shipbruary today and never got around to it. Anyways I’m tired goodnight.

Hold-up, let em cook

I love it when a crack pairing makes sense

I know what you think, i know what people think of the first sight of a rare ship, especially cross one. BUT HEAR ME OUT, if you think about it more than two seconds, they make such a good pair. Their personalities and their .. geometriness ?? Oh my god i love them so much so much so much

Shipbruary Days 21-23

Day 21: Marin x Link

Day 22: Little Misfortune x Benjamin

Day 23: Shrek x Fiona

I shall now go ramble in the tags

Guys, I have a confession to make.

I haven’t done anything for Shipbruary since like Saturday.

And I think part of the problem is my unhealthy obsession with Wicked, but more specifically Fiyeraba.

Like HOW ARE THEY THIS CUTE?! IT’S FREAKING ILLEGAL.

And I already drew them for Shipbruary so this just makes it worse.

These two have taken over all my braincells and prohibit me from getting any actual work done on anything creative.

So yeah. I have a problem. I have a big problem. Crap
