Cor Leonis

Our New album is out!

http://raikamishiro.bandcamp.com/album/cor-leonis

A lot of people have asked me what this album is about.

It's about space, in many senses of the word.

Space, the final frontier, that represents unknown adventures and discoveries that await us.

Space, as the distance between people and the feelings that fill the void between.

Space, as the wondrous thing look up at in the night sky, and connect random dots in to glorious constellations.

Space that gets a little bit smaller smaller when you see what's in my heart.

1 / 0

So we we released Digital Kingyo almost a week back. We decided to release it for free for a week (it's still free for those of you looking), and we've gotten some pretty good feedback.

What surprised me though, was that two people had opted to pay money for the single.

It surprised me, since I'm used to even people who really like my music telling me they downloaded it or otherwise got it for free.

That someone out there liked our music enough that they wanted to throw money at us in the hopes that we would make more is a pretty big thing for a musician.

It showed me that even while we don't make nearly enough money making music to pay the bills, there are still people out there who would like to see us at that point someday.

It's as big as the difference between 1 and 0.

Pictures and things

Q. Who takes the pictures on your blog, CD and Single covers?

I take all the photos on my blog unless otherwise stated~  (*´・ｖ・)

For our CD covers, I have some great friends who do the photos of me~! You can find them listed on the 'About' page!
For our singles, I usually take photos and herp around with them~  ヽ(‘ ∇‘ )ノ

For all of you staying up late tonight, maybe you'll catch a glimpse of Santa Rai!

Moving on

Q. Have you ever considered working with anyone other than Ultraklyston? 

A. Actually, it's funny that I'm being asked that, since Cor Leonis might be the last album that I work with Karl on for quite some time.

Between Nurse Hella's album, my album, school work, and personal obligations, it's taken over a year to get some of the wheels rolling on his side for Cor Leonis, and our schedules seem to be matching up less and less.

I think our only immediate plans are to finish up Cor Leonis, finish up all our Kickstarter obligations, and re-tune Electric Sheep for a re-release. And then we'll be done for a while, as we both have a lot of real world things to take care of. Not to mention that we both need a break for a while after our hard work!

I'll probably be looking at doing some projects and shopping around for other bands/beatmasters/producers to work with in the next year. It'll be weird to not be working with Karl on any specific thing anymore, after 6+ years, but I think that we're both in different places right now, with different priorities on music and life. We might get back together after things have settled down, but we can't promise a 3rd album any time soon.

It's interesting to think of what other genres to expand in to, I'd be excited about doing rock or electropop or other things I've never even thought about.

Whatever happens, I'm sure I'll always be connected to music.

The Key to the Velvet Room

Q. What are some of your favorite games?

A. You all have heard about how much I love Subarashiki Kono Sekai / The World Ends With You, so let's talk about another series of games I love!

My second favorite series of games is the Shin Megami Tensei, Idolm@ster, and the Pop'n Music series =w=~
I also like Rockman 2, Ib, Sengoku Basara, Dynasty and Samurai Warriors, Disgaea, Katamari Damarcy, and Pokemon.

Today we'll talk about Megaten Games.
My favorites are the Devil Summoner 3, 4, Devil Survivor 1, 2, Persona 3, 4, Arena, and of course, Shin Megami Tensei.

I love it when games have super cool soundtracks; I guess that's easy to see from the kind of games that I like.
I really appreciate when game makers put that extra effort sparkle in to make a game more memorable. Or when a game really sells you their world view by having their characters with cool headphone actually use them to listen to some super chill beats.

One of my nerdy little dreams is doing the vocals for one of the Persona or Devil Survivor Games.

Hey Shoji Meguro, you looking for anyone for Persona 5?

I'll be answering questions over the next week or so, but feel free to continue to send in questions~

Q. Do you ever sleep? 

A. Uh, sometimes?

I have a very odd sleep schedule right now, so you'll find me up and awake at curious times. =w=~
