Your version of the song with the piano was very beautiful and touching. I enjoyed how it complemented your deep, soothing voice while also giving the music your own special touch. It was quite relaxing and enjoyable to listen to! I'd love to listen to the complete version when you finish with it ^^

Hi~ I was wondering, is the Kagrra, demo-tape is still available? Thank you so much!

Great song! Reminds me of this nice song from Wolf’s Rain called Gravity (also composed by Yoko Kanno, sung by Maaya Sakamoto)

Yes, fingers crossed! The material they released last year was really good. Can’t wait to hear more hopefully.

Haha, that's good to hear! I remember fighting on Yoshi's Island(?) and it was equally chaotic, completely losing track of who I was using or where my character was. Still fun nonetheless. Love Pokemon Stadium and Fountain of Dreams as well! I also like the Wario stages (Gamer and WarioWare), Big Blue, and Mario Galaxy. Oh, and if you're ever looking to play Smash, I'd love to play with you sometime!

I would love to see what ideas Sakurai will have for the next installment of Smash (if there is one). Ever since Melee, I've tended to main as Marth simply because he held a sword and was fast (not that I was any good compared to some better players, lol). But with a huge selection of characters in Ultimate, I love playing with a lot of the characters, although I guess I tend to rotate between Link, Shulk, Peach, and Pikachu. So, pretty much a drifter as well, haha Although, I've tried out Bayonetta and she seems like a super fun character to use in battle! Same with Cloud and Corrin. How did you feel about the latest DLC character, Byleth? Haha, I know what you mean. Creating absolute, insane stages where it's almost impossible to fight, let alone walk around in XD I think that's what I love about the Smash series. The items are crazy and fun to abuse and the stages gimmicks are absolutely great to screw around with friends; you can customize how you want to have fun whether that's being super big on screen or super tiny and metal at the same time. The options of having fun are endless. I also love spending time in training mode and experimenting with any of the given options available (like speed, items, health percentages, etc.). Have you ever tried the 4 (or more) players stages? I think it can get a bit chaotic especially on the smaller stages when there's so much happening at once on the screen, lol. Speaking of stages, do you have any favorites you like to play on?

Nice, same here. It's a great series. How do you like Ultimate? I love the wide selection of stages and characters. It's amazing how far Smash has come ever since its 64 days. Haha, I played a lot of Melee on the GC.

Neat! Which Smash Bros were you playing? Been a huge fan of the game ever since Melee. Tales of Vesperia and Mario Odyssey - both super addicting and fun

The drawing looks really good! I think the work on the koi fish's scales paid off; they are beautiful ❤️ Love the peaceful aesthetic in the drawing; the pink/light purple(?) feels easy and nice on the eyes

Hi, welcome! Happy to meet a new VK fan~ Oh, boy. Being in the 2000s really brings back lots of memories. As others have said, p2p software (like limewire, kazaa, etc.) was a great gateway into obtaining VK music. I also remember there were also many blogs (including random geocities/angelfire websites, lol) that hosted music, MVs, and scans/pictures as well. Although I think they've all disappeared to the sands of time. I think, at one point, people had migrated to tumblr where people translated lyrics and random VK musician's blogs and shared scans/pictures. It was certainly an adventure to try to look for music and find scans back then, lol. As for info on band members and such, I know vkdb is a popular place, which is still active.
