Never thought I'd see the day. I know this account has been around since the previous July, but I never thought about posting some my covers here until today last year.

In that first year, so many amazing things came across my submissions...

• Showing another community the strange idea of a clarinetist that mostly plays J-Pop or Vocaloid songs
• Being "built different" in a sense, seeing as it's not common for a clarinetist to come here and post their recordings
• Becoming a whitelisted artist for Geometry Dash, a game I like playing (and unironically the reason why I'm here)

Some people I'd like to thank:

• @cametek - for being the man who led me into this "ensousha/utaite" addiction (as well as mildly making me an indirect hololive fan, since... he's that Camellia who wrote I'm Your Treasure Box, Fallen Wing, etc.)
• @razaplaysgmd - inspiring me to put my own covers here to begin with, and also to guide GD players to a single Song ID
• @Jackadactle1 - also inspiring me to put my covers here, but to solidify instrumentalists being welcomed here
• @ADR-3N - saving me after my scouting debacle
• @Yatsufusa (and others, sorry if I can't list all) - becoming my fellow Reedlings on Newgrounds...
• Raivolt (GD Elder Mod) - being the guy who let the magic happen
• ...and you...

Here's to another year of covers... and improv... or other things that cross my mind. This may probably become the final year before I have to move elsewhere with my roommate.

As I approach a year since I've first posted a cover here, I guess I should state some of the songs that I may post covers of on this site... though that's all subject to change. There's more of a Vocaloid bias, but that's because I happen to be a fan.

Here is what I have planned, in no particular order...

• TAK - Lemon Melon Cookie
• Hallo Cel - CandyCookieChocolate
• PinocchioP - Non-breath Oblige
• iyowa - Create-Girl OR IMAWANOKIWA
• Hiiragi Magnetite - Tetoris
• Hiiragi Magnetite - Pet Me/Nadenna
• DECO*27 - Love Words (either 3 or 4)
• 32ki - Obsolete Meat
• GEMN - Fatal
• YOASOBI - RGB
• Tatsuya Kitani - Where Our Blue Is
• Sasuke Haraguchi - Cubism OR NoshiNoshi
• natori - Absolute Zero

The last time I've listed a bunch of songs, I've made a disclaimer about how not all of these songs may have a submission. I suppose that statement will hold here.

If I see a song from the future popping off, I may give priority to covering that song instead of one that's listed here.

I should've made a post here 2 days ago celebrating my birthday, but I was busy with so many other things. I guess my gift to myself is me getting through recording all of Monitoring for the first time.

Anyway, here's what I have - at least before I plan to go back and polish that up a bit more. Take a listen...

I almost forgot to tell you how descriptions are now formatted. The "credits" will not be at the bottom anymore, and will now take up the first 3 lines of the description. This is probably some SEO shenanigans, at first glance. However, I really want the GD players to not struggle searching for a cover of a song not found here.

Here's a snippet of a rather basic MV:

Well, I should've known this sooner, but there is a page for me to show my "role" as "clarinet/soprano" in my audio submissions, but I don't think I'll be going back and fixing them...

Today, I also learned I could actually link the originals (and/or similar sources of inspiration) in my cover uploads.

I guess Night Fog is a good example for adding these attributes.

I don't know if I want to have an MV for this, but if I were to have one, it would be simple for me to make...

If you're from my YT channel, you would already know that my recording session in Tokyo from 2 months ago did not go the way I wished... and I was fine with it. I liked how "out of the way" it was, and the people in charge were nice to speak with. The only thing I was missing was an audio interface, and I couldn't get my hands on one easily.

Now, back to today. A lot of the songs I have been posting here have been hovering around 150 BPM, if you've noticed. There's probably 2 more that I have, but after that, everything's going to be up in the air. Many of them are going to be faster (at least 165 BPM), but I'll put a slower song in here as well.

Sorry for the radio silence - I had some business to attend during my travels in Tokyo from this past week, but I have found some time in the midst of the chaos to have a session in a studio to practice some songs. The ones that I currently have in mind are:

• Catchy!? by r-906
• All I Can See is You by r-906
• Hananikaze by baloon0120
• Letter to the Black World by Frog96
• Mesmerizer by 32ki
• Time Left by Zutomayo
• Night Dancer by imase
• Found Footage ■37
• IDSMILE by toa
• Shoujo Rei by mikitoP

I know this is a lot, and I doubt that I'd get through all of these in the mere 90 minutes I have booked with the studio.

Whichever ones I get to finish, I may upload here. If they're "incomplete" (e.g., only half is done, there's no melody, etc.) then they're going to be considered Works In Progress, as Overdose was. Not all of these will also be on YT, however.

I'll also be re-doing Overdose and Biri-Biri when I return home next week.

It's the same SongID that's been used for the past few days. It syncs with the instrumental found in the original music video's description.

With the exception of one or maybe two songs, the next few covers aren't going to be posted here, unfortunately.

This was because I forgot that my cover ended a bit too soon while my GD level still had gameplay.

I also took this opportunity to play over basically everything... which included a few new things coming in as well.

TL;DR - read the title.

Basically anything that I've posted here is usable in Geometry Dash, whether it be improv, a self-ensemble, or maybe even a "lead only" track.

It's a bit surreal to see my things "officially" in GD, but this the world of today, and the possibilities are indeed endless.
