Hello everyone, specifically musicians that are harowotas.
I bring for all of you the Hatsukoi Cider i did for a class, took me a while cuz I waited for my professor's correction to add them before any upload to anywhere
Anyways, here you have:

I continue to stick with Jpop over Kpop because the music. Kpop isn't incapable of doing cute songs sincerely, but I think there is actually an appreciation for the straightforwardly cute song in Jpop that you just can't get anywhere else. And, I mean that in the quality of the songwriting.
You can get some solid straightforward cute pop outside of the mainstream even in the US, but they're always underlined by a more overt retro styling. This is what Kpop tends to do with their cute songs, too. In other words, when you have a cute pop song in non-Jpop, you can always name what music genre it actually belongs to. But Jpop is like more progressing in an orthogonal direction from everyone else in what a modern cute pop song sounds like. Most cute songs there, you can't describe as anything but "pop".
So, you can get someone like Inaba, who obviously values her own vocal and dance skills, but at the end of the day, she went out with just plain good music that is cute. Pulling off cute for the graduation (and making it look easy!), without compromising their maturity, is the highest testament to their ability. But it only works because the song itself has inherent quality, such that one can perform it in a mature way and the cuteness is still apparent (or vice versa!).

I've been wanting to do a fan art regarding a photo of Momochi hiking. But I wasn't sure what painting style I should go with. I rarely do flat paintings lately so I wanted to try an anime style this time. But now that it's complete, I want to try it with my style as well. Perhaps at a later date. Hopefully in the future I will understand why it currently it doesn't please me.
So many ideas I want to draw and paint, so little time…
