【VY2】Carnival / カーニバル【VOCALOIDカバー】

EDIT: @ past mio: what are you talking about this is a banger i'll physically fight you
it’s VY2’s anniversary and i’ve gotten rusty once again w
i’m very tired, honestly . . . i fought myself the entire time i was working on this and generally just dragged my feet for a month straight sdfghjk i had a different song in mind that i really wanted to cover but i didn’t get the tuning finished in time and had to default to this one instead he h ;
i feel like this isn’t my best work, honestly especially considering otetsu’s original tuning was really loose and powerful and if there’s one thing i haven’t figure out yet it’s loose and powerful (at least without going into straight up over-tuning w)
also i only found out last minute that of the english translations out there, half of them were machine translated or built off of said machine translated ones and the author of the most accurate one (hazuki no yume) asked that their translation not be used for subbing so i had to crack open a couple JP to EN dictionaries and give it my best shot skjdfghlkjdfh
definitely not the most accurate or the most poetic translation but for the time i had it works sort of i might as well put out there //please don't reference or reuse this translation// because my comprehension is //not// the best and there's probably a good number of mistakes in this ksdfjhgl
i would have liked to have better credits to put down here but it seems that aside from hazuki no yume most of the translations were unsourced or had been reposted so many times it's impossible to tell who originally made it ;;
that aside, at the very least i get to show off my vy2 design a little more w i also tried to design the outfit/video based off of shio’s animated pv (which is part of what got me hooked on the song in the first place). i feel like i probably could have done a little more for the video but given how badly aviutl was lagging even after just importing the base drawings i didn’t have the patience for it he h ;;
not my favorite cover/project overall, but who knows―i hated candy addicts when i uploaded it and spent a week afterwards bemoaning how awful i thought it was and yet now i like to pop it open every now and then and give it a listen w
(honestly though i really wish i’d given myself more time so i could have gone back and fixed the lyric errors and given the translation a second pass sdfkjglf why do i only ever see/hear the “っ” until i’m subbing ! ! !)
that aside, in general though i’m just so tired between course work and irl stress i feel like a lot of my enthusiasm for working with vocaloid has died down lately i don’t know if it’s just feeling like my work isn’t meeting my standards or it’s just feeling like the anniversaries have become more of an obligation than something i enjoy or maybe it’s the 5 year zola anniversary looming on the horizon w
there are still plenty of songs i want to cover and lots of things i want to do i just don’t want to do any of them for a deadline but at this time of year i’m kind of caught between anniversary deadlines w
i am very slow , , , , , when it comes to everything w
either way it’s a cover yall enjoy

Don't push yourself too hard dude!! I literally listen to your stuff like daily, you're immensely skilled at what you do; you're a HUGE inspiration and I assure you probably like, 90% of your audience wouldn't even know where to even look for mistakes. Please don't be too hard on yourself! Even if you miss an anniversary or something (if they feel like a chore than I wouldn't blame you tbh) I'm always SUPER happy to see anything new from you, and I'm sure lots of people share that sentiment! (and for the record, I've always adored this song and never even remotely knew the lyrics, so even if this is a bit off, it made me super happy to see you subbed it at all.) tldr. hang in there! you're doing great in a lot of peoples eyes, and this cover rocks.

[@cranberryblame3414]

MIO THIS WAS ONE OF MY FAVORITE SONGS FOR THE LONGEST TIMES AND HEARING IT WITH THE SWORD IS SO GOOD I CRY!!!!!!!!!

[@miodiodavinci]

JKSFLHFK I'M GLAD THANK YOU A A A A A A

[@_Rhatsody]

this is my favorite otetsu song and interesting key change for the cover. fits vy2's voice more naturally. and as always your tuning is sublime. the artwork is great too with the subtle movements. your depiction of him is cool. with that bent sword.

[@IvyChong-w3n]

[@IcestarRiver]

It may be different from the original's feel, but that's not a bad thing! I love the subduedness of VY2's way of singing it, it makes him sound so resigned about the events rather than hyped up by them like GUMI seems to be. The pronunciation is very clear, though, and that's one thing I admire a lot about your work!

[@seducedbysasquatch]

6 year old covers still eating omfg. the talent you have is wild

[@JusAMewMew]

THIS IS MY FAVORITE COVER!!! I ALWAYS COME BACK TO LISTEN TO THIS BOP!!!!

[@commenter1028]

Love the edit in the description where you say you'll fight your past self bc this is genuinely one of my favorite vy2 songs, let along covers, of all time. You do a phenomenal job really this is so good. Anyway yes be proud of yourself you work hard even if its a struggle a lot of the way through you did it!!! And so many people are always blown away!!

[@kayleighmoore6951]

[@Delusionpilledfictionposter]

I'm obsessed with your VY2 Yuma design

[@gogglesneko7657]

I really love your covers and based on my casual Japanese fluency your subs are really accurate. Of course I don't understand everything perfectly but from what I know its really good. ^^ Please keep up the amazing work!

[@royal_crown99]

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaA I love

[@KalfinaP]

Umm, VY2 looks super hot? I REALLY LOVE THIS DESIGN A LOT???? ♡♡♡

[@mollyeilbes4272]

The one thing I find interesting about it is that a good 95% of the VY2 art I see has pink hair. Is this some sort of alternate design of him or something?

[@insomnikyo]

Still waiting for VY2V4 Yamaha

[@KPVega1]

InsomniKyo Like No50! C'mon Yamaha, what's happend with VY2V4

[@meg.da.kachidog-p]

InsomniKyo In my opinion, VY2 doesn't need a V4. I've seen someone make him growl like a V4 Vocaloid with effort and a lot of tuning, but they've since taken the video down. :c

[@kawaiife]

VY2V5

[@thad8218]

Well he does have an updated v5 now. He didnt need an update tho he was good.

[@soleosfiles]

I'm only in need of an "append" of him... Like, VY1 has multiple voicebanks in V4. Why can't my boy do the same? :'{

[@gabriellepasumbal2064]

I'M PISSED WHY HAS THIS BECOME MY FAVORITE WITHIN ROUND ONE OF PLAYING?!?!?! //puts your head on a pillow You did great! If you think that isn't your best, there's always next time! I absolutely love all your covers, I even have them on when I'm asleep (and it's actually not good as I get my ears hurts when I take naps with headphones on . _ .) Don't worry on anniversary deadlines, and don't push yourself too hard on projects and covers, do them all at your own pace- you'll get tired very soon and that's not good. Anyways, love you so much, love your covers, love your artworks & character designs, you determination to look for the translations for everyone AND THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR EVERYTHING ;;;;

[@crowkline4773]

I meant to like this but it won't let me fix it,,,

[@crowkline4773]

i found this almost 5 years ago and its still one of my favorite covers ever

such a good song from otetsu covered with my boy VY2??? im screaming (also your design is sooo pretty i love)

[@jadedtongue]

I love this video and I think the cover is great!! The video has a ton of finesse and I really enjoy watching it. I hope you start to feel better! Don’t push yourself to do things. Enjoy it! Have fun! And thanks so much for the cover!

[@miodiodavinci]

thank you a a a a a a hopefully things will be better by the time the zola anniversary rolls around ;;; v ;;;

I LOVE your design for VY2!!!

THANK YOU I LOVE VY2 THIS IS AMAZING YE S ps happy birthday vy2

[@FangzV]

For some reason I haven't listened to this song in a while. It came up on my autoplay like on a whim the other day and it's like a warm hug home. My soul is cleansed. I love this cover and I love hearing it "for the first time" all over again. (And shout out to that edit so glad you've come around and realized that you nailed this one)

[@GucciStinkbug]

The "myself, I guess" bit from the green background parts came to my mind completely randomly and I spent like 15 minutes focusing so hard to figure out what song it was 😭 glad to be back here, this was one of my favorite covers by you back in the day ✨

[@DelBunny19]

once again my favorite VOCALOID cover KZbinr uploads some MAGIC!!! NICE WORK!!!

[@darlingJasper]

Haha gay-

[@elinolike]

This is great, WHEN IT JUST FLOODS UR EARS IN THE RIGHT WAY MMMMM

If I tell you this song just appeared on my recommended and since then it has not left my mind. It's beautiful and I love it. Thank so much

[@meg.da.kachidog-p]

Take your time with everything. -I've certainly taken my time to comment I'm late- Your works are so well done, it's not hard to mistake them for original. Please don't give up on yourself. This is the best Yuma cover other than Lamunan's to bless my ears.

[@kirin4244]

Mio, everything you put out really is absolutely amazing. But don't force yourself to work on things if that means putting you in a bad position. You're a fighter.

[@walnut_raisin2621]

I'm sorry that this is becoming so stressful for you! I honestly adore your covers cuz you actually put work into them. Not to mention you make *original Vocaloid outfit designs.* Sure some are based off of something but you put your own unique *twist* on it.

[@Silly_Sulky_Seli]

this dude is "the" next Rapunzel with that long hair, Miku is no match ((also with voice imo)) I first thought that was a scarft tho tbh

[@libraofmojave2772]

Hey man, don't beat yourself up over this one. It may not be your best work but it sure as hell ain't your worst. Your'e very talented with vocaloid and you've got a lot of understanding and adoring followers. Whatever you're going through, we'll be here for you, Loving every little piece of heaven you put to music.

[@crystalcamellia]

i'm really happy about the edit in the description because it means mio finally realised this song is amazing just like all their other covers!!

[@Kat-zh9cn]

THIS WAS THE COVER I NEVER REALIZED I NEEDED THANK YOU FOR BLESSING MY EARS

[@runatiz_]

But i still love your hardworks in this.. its okay, take your time and rest for a while Mio It's been a long time since i dont listen to vy2. Good thing you've uploaded this❤

[@DarkPrincessWarrior5]

The music was great as always. And the art is always superb to me. I enjoyed this as I've enjoyed all your other works. However, I'd like to stress the fact that time for yourself and figuring out life things is a good thing to focus on. Don't break yourself over a song. Regardless, good luck with everything! I look forward to whatever you make in the future, whenever it may be.

[@suchiie51]

I've been replaying this song for an unhealthy amount of time and I think I need help -For real though, this is one of my favorite covers of sword boi of all time and I always love how you tune him!-

[@Jillgrg]

I’m not even halfway through the song and I already love it, this is probably one of my favorites

[@Galogutz]

This is super amazing! I cant believe it's another year of VY2, I remember celebrating his 1st anniversary and here we are now. Thank you so much for this video

[@evamarias8896]

Yo dude I can relate to the issues you feel with your drive lately. I love art and drawing it but lately I haven’t been having the same drive on them. But I need to draw to get better and work on designs. But I just don’t want to draw, but I also do want to draw. And it’s just a bit of a mess. I hope you have a chance to sit and breath a bit now and then to destress. I have the best of wishes for you!

[@MintyPandaP]

I still highly enjoy your content. Quality takes time, and even in your not favorite ones it shows. Vy2's voice and the overall tuning turned it from circus undertones (?) in the original to a disney electric circus feel to it, and it's really dazzling! thank you for publishing this anyways!

[@L0ver0fHumanity]

I love this cover and I really like Yuuma! Don’t stress yourself over anniversaries/dates. Just do what you can, it’s okay. Give yourself a break and take care of yourself.

[@FangzV]

"Not your best" is still a damn high bar. Keep it up. Don't get dragged down by anniversaries! And the video work is stellar as always.

[@tobitimesthree]

i got so excited when i saw that you uploaded! you're so good with vy2, this is such a treat!! thank you! :D

[@hele4299]

You could go ahead and boldly assume otetsu only used the scarily similar sounding of "carnival" and "cannibal" in the Japanese pronunciation, or we should all run as fast as we could right now. AWESOME COVER!!!!

[@celebratoryhowler]

Okay can I just say I love this. Like, you may feel this is not your best work, but I LOVE it to death. When I get better at animating and such I actually want to use this for an animatic, it's simply too amazing. Play this at my funeral-

[@henriad]

This was amazing!! You tuned him so well and I love your design so much

[@demekagamine]

The tuning smacks in the best way, it sounds pretty natural good job ^-^

ive listened to this song for YEARS and only now i find out IT WAS YOU ALL ALONG WHAT

[@iguanodoo6920]

You never cease to amaze me Mio!! Great job on this I love every second!!

[@thatkidacrossthestreet970]

Aaahhh, I love this! The tuning is superb, the art is as stunning as always, and I just love your translated lyrics, even if they're inaccurate (according to your description). Carnival is one of my favorite Vocaloid songs, and I absolutely enjoyed your cover! And one more thing, don't push yourself to do these covers if you don't want to. Take as much time as you need, don't rush yourself! As an artist myself I know the pain of fighting myself while working on whatever I'm drawing/writing, but don't edge yourself to the breaking point like that. If you have other projects you want to work on, then work on those. Don't put them aside for something you don't have the motivation for. TL;DR: Don't lose your sanity trying to finish things like I did trying to finish a drawing so my DA isn't dead-

[@lillyputian5907]

i heard sekihan's coverof this song first and couldnt listen to the original bc it felt so flat, but this version w VY2 is honestly so much better and i just love the way you tune them

[@levitalion1483]

I GOT CHILLS AFTER I HIT PLAY. IT'S BEEN SO LONG SINCE I'VE LISTENED TO THIS SONG. YOU KNOCKED IT OUT OF THE BALLPARK.

[@mollyeilbes4272]

I think I kind of glossed over this cover at first in favor of some of your other stuff (I found you earlier this year but after you had uploaded this) but I just recently found it again and I have listening to it on loop, like it's so good Also, make sure to take care of yourself! You come before your music, remember that!

[@Bluelightsinthesky]

This is a piece of Art that the whole whole world needs to listen too

[@AppleChinaJack]

this is really nice! i get how it feels to have a rough project giving you a hard time but you really came out on top with this, ive been listening to this song since this morning almost on permaloop. great video/art/tuning as always, your design for vy2 is really unique and i dig it so much more than the usual one. keep it up but take a break if you feel like this is becoming work instead of fun, best wishes!

[@dannylee9354]

Still waiting for that vy2v4. NOT BEING SALTY OR ANYTHING
