Delusion Girl english ver. 【Oktavia】【英語で歌ってみた】

!! i feel like this is the first time i’ve covered a song with a potentially upsetting pv that hasn’t already contained a warning at the beginning video, so here’s your warning. this (beautifully animated god bless sidu) pv contains violence which relates to suicide in particular. i recommend you don’t watch should this make you uncomfortable. i know it isn’t a huge deal but i would hate to surprise someone. !!

also if you’re interested, i’ve now enabled community contributions for closed captioning on my videos!! you can contribute here: http://www.youtube.com/timedtext_cs_p...

HELLO my friends I have returned, I am not dead, just drowning in school work, trying to last until Friday so I can successfully turn 19.

Anyway this is a bit of mood whiplash now isn’t it? Definitely not the positive mood from the last cover hahaha…

But I’ve really wanted to do this ever since the song was released in September. I mean any Sidu PV is guaranteed to steal my heart but also as I spent more and more time listening to the song and comprehending what it was about I fell in love with it. Also this is Touyu's first orignal, and I'm very impressed with it! It's nice to hear his music.

I mean, my first time through listening, I didn’t notice all the imagery which flashes by when he talks about his friend, the cat, his family and his girlfriend… Poor guy. I want to give him a hug but I guess it’s too late for that now.

Also Sidu, being Sidu, of course made the perfect PV to go along with the song (and me, being me, struggling to sub the video without spending money bc I ain’t spending $99 for a motion tracker lol). I particularly love the way he moves at “the echoes come and go…”, as if he’s struggling to keep moving forward. It’s SO GOOD

Side note but RIP my subtitling skills. If Datsugoku didn’t already kill them then this PV did, but at least I have a new version of Final Cut Pro which now allows me to actually edit things very quickly instead of animating blindly, rendering (which would take like 5 minutes) and then seeing how shitty it turned out and going with it because it’s too much of a hassle to blindly animate and wait again.

Final note, it’s Oktober (spelling intended)! I’ll be turning 19 this Friday. This cover doesn’t count but I want to release two songs which can be considered ‘spookier’ this month (hopefully, one is set in stone, the other is very iffy. But if I can’t release it on the 31st I’ll try for early November, you’re just gonna have to deal with spooky November I guess). This Friday expect a murderous teacher’s pet to come your way… We’ll save Halloween for something a bit more demonic.
