I like this one... :D
something about the lyrics caught my attention
on how dream could be mistaken for a reality...
and the paths we choose for a future...
I like those parts... =]
11-03-2014 by Alison: (about the first three songs of 2014)
the text sits the music, but in fact I think the texts are sometimes difficult, but
I do think I can understand them :P
11-03-2014 by Alison: (about One paths dream)
I liked that one best :P
(compared to the other two of 2014)

Writing lyrics to an existing piece of music is difficult.
You have to make sure the lyrics (all of them - every word, every syllable) actually fit (can be sung to) the music.
That's where a lot of the effort lies.
You can't just write reams of lyrics and expect somebody else to fit them to the music.
What you have done is somewhat lazily write lyrics that don't fit the music.
Some of the lyrics fit; some of them don't.
I'm wondering whose job you think it is to make the lyrics fit (be singable to) the music.
Also the music doesn't appear to have a proper chorus that is different from the verse.
That said, I like your lyrics. It's just that they don't (all) fit the music.

Looks really nice! :)
10-03-2014 by OldyM Beatz: (about One paths dream)
This kind of videos makes me keep doin my things ^^ !
I like the lyrics i would like to hear a voice on it !
10-03-2014 by Tijlworks: (about One paths dream)
Wow, you're getting better and better :D
It's really really well made
Good job :D
Good image, good music and the text is good as well
I think it's well made
you're becoming really good

And once again something beautiful :D
8-03-2014 by Xenia: (about Black Sheep)
I really like it!:) and awww my name's in it ^^
8-03-2014 by Inu: (about Black Sheep)
That's super piteous, but super beautiful :)
You have to get it sung by someone :)
someone with a super fragile voice, that would be wonderful :D
8-03-2014 by T: (about Black Sheep)
The anime video makes it complete :D
The lyrics suit the music :) and it's deep
:) it's good
8-03-2014 by Tijlworks: (about Black Sheep)
I think it's well made and it has a good background music.
It's really very very well done, and I think the music fits perfectly.
25-02-2014 by Writer: (about Black sheep - unfinished ver)
Wow, this one is really great!!!
The text really tells a story and I like that about songs.
It also really fits on the music.
24-02-2014 by Omni: (about Take your time)
It was nice! A nice, feel-good song with some important truths in it ^^
I also liked the choice of music; it suited the theme of the lyrics well.
The ending where everything disolved into butterflies also worked well with the song.
Now, the only thing I can critique is the video...
I felt that, especially with the lyrics you wrote, it could have had more "action"
Maybe some nice nature & flower shots during the chorus.
Maybe even some people shots too.
Overall, though, I'd say it's one of the ones I liked the most :)
Good job ^^
24-02-2014 by MadShankxX: (about Black sheep - unfinished ver)
It's good, it's really good.
24-02-2014 by T: (about Black sheep - unfinished ver)
Ow guy, it's quite sad, but those are the best songs to listen to, then you
listen/read the text instead of my uhn-tiss uhn-tiss and bass music :P
It's good, respect.
23-02-2014 by Holui: (about Take your time)
Blissful :D
23-02-2014 by writer: (about Take your time)
That one is really really good :D
Hmm, as title I would take Smell the rose instead of Take your time
although I thought that clock at the beginning was great.
The text is also really good :P nothing to complain about.
23-02-2014 by Penguin: (about Take your time)
Nice melody :D really a relaxing song.
19-02-2014 by Zenkon13: (about Take your time)
This is the kind of music I would really expect to see in a family reunion video... :]
It's really comforting music...
I know so far it's about remembering the moment...
I'm still processing these lyrics... *^*
19-02-2014 by Tijlworks: (about Take your time)
I looked at it and I think it was a nice text, very well fitting with this time and age.
I also thought the background music is very well chosen.
I really liked the song. :)
17-02-2014 by Omni: (about Tell them)
I liked the topic of the song.
I do think it's important to be honest with your feelings towards others but also towards yourself.
The choice of music wasn't really what I would have expected along with these lyrics. At first I thought
it was too "hard", but then I again I guess it lends weight to the message. The video was a little too busy.
It kinda felt like I was being hypnotized and brainwashed :P Of maybe like watching too much Dr Who :P
My pet peeve was the voice that said "zero productions" over and over and over :P Not a fan of that ><
I like best the message of the lyrics :D
17-11-2013 by Koolit13: (about Calalini Chorus v2)
This chorus sounds so much better than the first version ^^
Awesome job and thank you again for including Lizett!!
3-11-2013 by Omni: (about in the darkness)
I think this one was pretty solid.
As always, I had trouble matching lyrics to the music, but since I rarely can I'll just review the lyrics
and the arrangement instead. The opening and the end were both very halloweeny, but the song itself didn't feel quite
eerie enough to fit the theme. That said, I really like the second voice in the latter half of the song (at least
that's what I think the lines in brackets were). This is one of the songs I would like to hear sung the most, but
then you'll need 2 singers :/ Only thing I can straight up critique is the lack of a black outline on the fonts.
Got hard to read at one point (werewolf), but that is so very minor :P on par with your other work. Gj! ^^
31-10-2013 by kartu5: (about Calalini Chorus v2)
Nicely done :)
13-10-2013 by Omni: (about Calalini Chorus v2)
I checked the new version out.
I also listened to the old one to better be able to do a direct comparison.
The new one is overall better. It's cleaner and more coherent. This time I heard that man voice
spoke Japanese and even what he was saying :P In v1 I had no idea ><
It felt a lot more polished and a much better volume balance as well. I do think the percussion could be a little softer though.
It rang through a tad too much. Lastly; there was one thing I preferred in v1: the violent, chaotic beginning.
It really set the tone. Although I'm not sure if it would have fit this version since it wasn't nearly as chaotic
as a whole. But v2 is definitely better :D
6-10-2013 by VocaApple: The transitions between singers are a little choppy,
but otherwise it sounds really good. I like what singers you paired up together
and the presentation is also very well done. Nice job! ^ v ^
29-09-2013 by Omni: The website is getting a cleaner look, love the girl with the headphones ^^ It's great, easy to find and a good clean look.
(about Dream or nightmare?)
It was a cool song to choose.
Sounded Irish for the most part, but turned asian during the bridge. At least that was what it felt like for me :P
Also liked the added sound effects you used to emphasize certain parts :D, although the volume of those were too high, I think.
But a really cool touch >< The lyrics themselves were very cryptic and I couldn't form a picture from them, but maybe that was the point ><
I also liked that alot more variety went into the video itself. Overall, it almost felt like an artsy theater short than a music video :P
But clearly different. In a good way ^^
29-09-2013 by writer: (about Dream or nightmare?)
Wow amazing!
Oké, I think that of all your songs, but this is even more amazing! :D
I think the subject is very original. The text totally fits the melody. The question 'Dream or nightmare?'
together with the music makes it exciting and mysterious.
It's a song where I go searching to the hidden meaning.
9-09-2013 by Omni: Well... in all honesty, there were quite a few sour notes :/ But that may also be a result of lack of confidence
in the singer or just that she hasn't grown comfortable in singing this particular song yet. Also, ig she could put a bit more "umph" in when she is singing it might help in hitting the right notes. Ovetall I can't comment all that much on this version, like I said earlier.
I'd like to see a more rehearsed, polished version :D I know that'd hard to do, though :/ Takes alot more time and effort than one might think.
With "umph" I mean more power. It was almost whisper singing >< To sing louder, basically :P
8-09-2013 by Omni: Hehe, I dunno how I missed that there were 2 versions up /blush.
But now I've seen the vocal one! ^^ First off: like you told me you changed to white font.
Small change, that made a big difference. Sadly it's hard for me to review the song itself since, like you said in the description, it's a first draft/rough cut. The things that needs to be adressed you probably already know, but I'll list them anyway.
The volume of the vocals is much too low in comparison to the music. It was hard to hear the singing at all sometimes ><
Also, you might to either want to change some of the lyrics to reduce the number of syllables or go over each line with the singer to see where you can cut syllables when singing. I think mainly you need to go over with Ichi how you want the song sung and then just a lot of rehearsals >< Oh and the volume balance ><
7-09-2013 by Inu: (In love again)
The song suits you, and it's sung so beautifully, too bad it's so silent.
It's also a recognizable feeling and it's a beautiful text.
7-09-2013 by Omni: Ok, I've watched it (In love again) now. I felt it was tender and vulnerable and I think almost everyone can relate to
that sense of confusion in that state. It was less of a story and more a collection of thoughts in an attempt to make
sense of feelings one has. It's to get that change once in a while :)
If I would criticize anything it would be the choice... red font. At times, with the red heart behind it,
it was hard to make out the words due to the lack of contrast in colour between the text and the background :D
2-09-2013 by photography of a noob: That site of yours is really chill ;P
2-09-2013 by Tijlworks: I watched the two video's, I found it AMAZING!!! ^^ and soooooo sweet ^^
and well made :) how do you do that, seriously ;)
your video is really crazy :D
2-09-2013 by Alex: It's a really nice voice :) I'm really happy
Thanks!
The voice is great, work on it, I'm sure it will be a great performance
don't be shy, you're so skilled
you are one of the greatest
so skilled
don't let anybody bring you down
1-09-2013 by Ern: damn the songs are cool
calanili, calanili and 100 more times calanili :D
but the sounds on that song are not clear
I mean the voice
25-06-2013 by Zenkon13: I went and checked out the link to your website, and I found it really cool. I browsed the available pages and looked around. I even found the song you made for my birthday too... :D
I really like the background image and the buttons you have for your website, Ryu.
I can probably help out on adding some more musical notes images to your website if you want me to. =]
25-06-2013 by omni: (battle of a hero) About your latest work :) It's very hard and cocky!
I think without he music I would have thought it was hip hop >< I really liked the ending. It was quite philosophical
really and it evolved the song towards the end in that way I like >< I still really want a vocal version though :P
Not being very musically talented and I don't always manage to match the lyrics with the music :/
But that's just my limitations >< Good work on it though! It was a collaboration you said?
22-06-2013 by Inu: Beautiful website :P and against what are you fighting? Btw awesome fighting sounds :P
"Happy birthday..." is very well found I think :P and the "do you know who I am" is also very good :P and it's indeed weird how some people know more about you, then you do yourself :P and the Season one is very well found too, and it's true too :P
20-06-2013 by ultinuc (battle of hero, collab with him [after completing it completely]): Great job! i really like the sound effects!
19-06-2013 by ultinuc: (battle of a hero collab with him): Thanks, anyway i just have to say that THAT IS AWESOME! Some of it was a bit hard to figure out where it went near the end but otherwise that's AWESOME, now the gap is smaller so that's not a problem anymore just that i need it slightly clearer where the words go at the end, but aside from that 1 thing, the song is legend-... wait for it... and I hope you're not lactose intolerant because the second half of that word is DAIRY!
18-06-2013 by Omni: (seasons change) Nice job! These lyrics were easily the most varied so far and kept
to the same theme without being overly repetitive. Cozy, philosophical song :) ... I think the only thing I missed would be some sort of personal
connection to yourself at the end of the song. Kinda like how what you sang about affected you, without going into specifics about your person.
I dunno if that makes any sense :S I'm just a sucker for the theme of a song evolving :P
Overall: good! ^^ Well done :)
14-06-2013 by Chelsea: :) you want to write a song with me please because your awesome at lyrics!
10-06-2013 by tkey: There is a lot of truth to your lyrics.
23-05-2013 by Omni: (medieval story) Haha, your last song really jerked me around.
I thought it started great and mysterious. Then I laughed (I don't really know why, just thought it was funny :P) when you suddenly forgot it all ><
Then I felt it was a tad repetitive and wanted something to happen. THEN! At the end where you suddenly
mentioned a man for the first time I was really intrigued! Did you really forget or could you just not bear to tell the story and
the mention of a man was just a slip of the tongue? In short:could use some work on the middle,
but apart from that I think it was the best yet :D
16-05-2013 by Omni: (running away) Oooh, mysterious! And a little scary :P
There are a couple of things I would have liked to see. It would have been cool if the bridge had a change/revelation
and then the following verse would build on it and the chorus would change slightly due what we learned in the bridge and the following verse.
Does that make any sense? :/ Overall, though, I think you built good suspense ^^
15-05-2013 by Alex: That's really nice, good job.
14-05-2013 by Ern: Coolz, especially the Calalini one.
13-05-2013 by Unknown: It's a beautiful song, now I'm listening to the other one, and that one's beautiful too.
8-05-2013 by Thom: Reading your lyrics ('Who am I' and 'Birthday') against the music you chose, brought some memories back to me.
Thanks for that ^^.
7-05-2013 by cfruzy: I love them, they are cute, fun, and fresh.
2-05-2013 by Omni: "I checked it (do you know who I am?) out! ^^ I didn't think it was harder to
follow the beat than any of your other ones. To follow them perfectly I would first need to hear them sung a couple of times ><
The lyrics this time were... a little weird, like you said they would be. >< I'd say confused melancholy :P
We've all felt lost at one point or another ^^
25-04-2013 by Penguin: "Well done! :) You should make some other songs, 'cause they're quite good x"
22-04-2013 by Omni: "I like it! It's clean and functional and easy to navigate. It could use some sort of background,
though, if that's possible. Something soft and mellow, but that adds some colour ^^
Sitting on the side has happy-sad lyrics. The story of someone in love, yet lacking the courage to let the person of interest know,
but still being content with it all ^^ Feel goody ><"
(a reaction from before I started this website) 11-09-2012 by Zenkon13: I just finished watching the youtube link you left for me on DA. I was completely surprised by your gift! =D No joke!
Out of all the presents I've gotten before, this present was completely unique. The music and video were awesome too! I'm really surprised, Ryu... =]
Thank you so much for this gift, Ryu! =D
