K Y O F A C T ! ! ! If you pour a carbonated strawberry drink directly into your eyes, you'll get the exact same visual stimulation as you would watching this video!!
(Do not pour a carbonated strawberry drink into your eyes. This will hurt you unquestionably.)
So here you have it: the combined result of simultaneously releasing myself from the perpetual guilt of my ever growing WIP list and yet also cutting my usual production time in half thanks to the VY2 anniversary eating into my pre-June prep window―which all in all pretty much equaled out to "wow this is probably the most visually put together PV i've made in a long time but oh g o d i really wish i had had more time so i wouldn't have had to commit so hard and so fast to so much dumb stuff" ww
This project definitely had its ups and downs (and honestly a few more downs than ups once I moved out of the tuning stage), but―!! Point's moot now that it's done and uploaded, and frankly it'd probably be a more productive use of my time to stop worrying about how I'm going to "fix" everything in the next one and start focusing on getting rid of the next biggest weight on my shoulders: i.e. the ugly little comment goblin in my brain that assumes everyone will be immensely unimpressed and super critical of anything I do, and thus I should overwork myself to compensate (this is false and I'm coming for it with a brick).
That aside, however, One of Repetition is definitely one of my older favorites, and it was はるはる's hand-drawn PV that originally made me fall in love with it (as you can probably tell w). Given that the only existing translations are Hazuki no Yume's and an outdated, possibly machine-translated one from 2011, I decided to try my hand at writing some translyrics for the occasion w. That being said, it really doesn't hit you how sad this song is until you're trying to figure out how to fit "you literally strung me along and fed me just enough of what I wanted to hear so you could reap the benefits of having an SO without actually committing to one" into 13 syllables or less w.
That being said, I'm definitely not a lyricist!! And I respect the people who do this on a regular occasion immensely!! Because it only took me three lines before I felt like I was writing a poor excuse for a knock-off nursery rhyme!! These translyrics are very much being drawn and quartered between my attempts at maintaining rhyme, accuracy, and rhythm, and accuracy definitely took a bit of a blow in that department hehehh ; ;
(Which is a fancy way of saying Please Understand These Are Loose Translyrics And Not A One-To-One Translation Oh God™)
Feel free to try them out if you'd like, but there's no guarantee they're properly fitted or easy on the vocal cords considering they were drafted about four or five days ago whoops.
And with that, I'd write more words, but I'm finding that all the emails I've been having to write the past few weeks have completely sapped the strength out of me hhehehh ; ; ;
Thanks for sticking around, everyone!! And I hope you enjoy this neon pink break-up song w
