「星の在り処」("Hoshi no Arika") ballad - cover by SquaDus

Hello everyone, it's been quite a while since I last uploaded and... well, here I am uploading something new.
This time I decided to do a small tribute to this wonderful gaming company - Falcom, which I kinda discovered REALLY late the last year. Played all of translated YS games (Wonderful work by XSEED Games! Go buy everything!) and just finished Cold Steel I & II and about to start with Trails in the Sky FC with gf-chan.
When I heard this version of "Hoshi no Arika" (from Trails in the Sky FC) I really wanted to sing it, and since I found out there was a karaoke version I just... decided to go for it. This is my appreciation as a fan... btw, I totally forgot to mention the wonderful music this series have! REALLY, PEOPLE! GO GET YOURSELF A FALCOM GAME! I DO NOT PROFIT FROM TELLING YOU TO GO PLAY THESE GAMES! Pls, make sure they continue to do that for as long as I live! ;;
Ok, so as I said this is the ballad male version of "Hoshi no Arika" from "Trails in the Sky FC" from the mini-album? "Hoshi no Arika Zanmai".
Icarus Watanabe (who did a wonderful job) is singing it with Kanako Kotera (Falcom's diva, and a wonderful singer overall doing harmony... which was left in the karaoke version).
I hope you'll enjoy my cover!

[@SquaDus]

I sure hope so too, but it's hard for me to find songs these days to be honest

[@imanuelnicopetrus1066]

SquaDus-san. Damn it, i want to cry after i heard your song. It's so really-reallh beautiful.

[@rachellee1266]

Amazing as always. I'm very confused as to why you're not famous yet. Your tone and feeling draws all of our hearts. I'm sure if you continue, you'll become the biggest thing around the block.

[@rachellee1266]

If you made an account on NicoNicoDouga (sorry if you already have and I don't know) you could maybe eventually collab with Amatsuki or Luz or Mafumafu or Soraru. That would be amazing!

[@SquaDus]

I've actually been on Nico since 2008 and even performed in Niconico Cho-party II... well, I'm just not good with uploading on a regular basis so I've been forgotten... also, it's not that easy to start collabing with others, just so you know.

[@rachellee1266]

SquaDus Oh wow that's awesome! Everyone is busy with their own lives so that's probably hard. I'm sure. I haven't tried singing because my voice isn't amazing but I'm very grateful for all the work you put into these covers. Keep being awesome!

[@Snailescargott]

wouaaaaaw ! welcome back (babe) and your voice is always so awesome and sweet ! I LUV YOU !! 💙💙

[@lilgunky]

Hey!!! You're back!!!

[@Kasuka.]

Ohh how I love that song (never played the games though) ♥ Also wanted to cover it for a long time now but never was satisfied with my takes. (Well that was over 7 years ago so maybe I should give it another try someday soon~) Anyways, great to hear from you again!

[@SquaDus]

I had a hard time nailing exactly how I want it to sound and giving the right feelings this song deserved. In the end I completely deleted my first take and re-recorded it... and then did more fixes until I was happy so... yeah. It's not an easy song. In any case, I encourage you to try again :)

[@riririnmaru5672]
