Arrangement: ‘Lately’

Everyone has to have a favorite Stevie Wonder song, right? What’s yours? Mine is “Lately.” It’s a simple and sad song that I never tire of listening to. I wanted to keep it simple, so I used only piano and voice. I played to a metronome click, but I didn’t do any corrections. Kinda live, if you will.

The trouble with covering a Stevie Wonder song is that one of the best performers that ever lived did it before you. I’m saying not to expect much. Also, sorry that the piano is sloppy — it was one take.

Remix: ‘Wind Nocture’ or ‘The Boat Song’ - Lunar: Silver Star Story

I’ve always loved Luna’s “boat song” from GameArts RPG Lunar: Silver Star Story. The cinema at that part of the game was so well placed, and it’s such a pretty song! I took the single verse and lyric right out of the game and did my own version, focusing on layered piano and bell parts over a string orchestra. The vocal starts out very soft and quiet, but builds as the song does.

Sketch: ‘One Last Cry’

I *tried* to cover one of Brian McKnight’s first hits, “One Last Cry.” I’m afraid I didn’t do a very good job. My version has its high points, but it has its low points too, and that’s mostly because the song has…well, high (pitch) points. I think the second verse and the bridge sound the best. Sorry, Brian. If anything, it was a good way to learn how to play the song.

Arrangement: ‘Silent Night’

I do at least one Christmas arrangement every year, and this year I’ve started with the classic, Silent Night. I was inspired after watching a documentary that talked about how old the song really is. I did a really simple piano and strings arrangement.

Remix: ‘Love Potion’ - Rhythm Heaven

This remix is my version of 恋の実験室 or “Laboratory of Love,” from the Rhythm Tengoku Gold soundtrack, better known as Rhythm Heaven in the US. The original song, by Japanese producer Tsunku, has no lyrics, so I thought it would be fun to create some of my own.

I imagined the song being about a boy in love with his lab partner in science class, taking a cue from the game’s visuals. Aside from singing the melody (poorly), I’m also performing all six harmony parts.

Arrangement: ‘Inori/You Raise Me Up’

The anime Romeo X Juliet featured a Japanese cover of “You Raise Me Up” by Lena Park, and I fell in love with that version. Because of this, I also ended up doing my own arrangement of this tune, which has now been covered over 125 times. I’ve performed this song in both Japanese and English.

Mustin and I put this together very quickly one afternoon in a sort of protest against Overclocked Remix’s Judges Panel.

Remix: ‘Pharmacy’ - Revelations: Persona

I’ve always liked the “Pharmacy” theme from Persona, but never knew the words. One day I decided to make up my own words and story and sing it.

Remix: ‘Come to Bob’s Pizza’ - Shenmue

This is something I did to test out a new microphone. The rest was just filler. But it qualified as a remix, so I submitted it for fun. I didn’t know the words (in Japanese) so I just made up English ones.

Remix: ‘Team Gato’ - Chrono Trigger

Mustin and I got together to take this less than half a minute song from Chrono Trigger and make it a full blown audio experience. There’s singing, sound effects, and unnecessary rap lyrics involved.
