Original song: "I'm back"

Uploaded by toromei on 2016-09-21.

It's been too long. After 36 hours of hiking to and from Mt. Fuji, I was emotionally and physically broken for a couple weeks. Since then I've been sick from some bad food, so I haven't even had the energy to play. It's been over a month since I put up a new video. But suddenly I just knew I had to do this. It's really not good and it's perhaps my worst performance yet — my voice and hands are still weak and out of practice — but I think there's something here.

Original song: "Anata"

Embarrassing Japanese lyrics: ぼくははるかとおくからきた そして、どこでは 分からないけど 僕にはわかる 場所がふさわしいいる with you 僕たちは 会った時 笑顔で笑って With you 毎日あなたとずっと一緒にいたいけど 最初、歌うたい For you その後、歌うたい With you ところで, 僕はあなたに何かを伝えたいと気づいた 本当に、大好き、なるほど、たしかに、 あなたに言いて 愛してる I love you ^_^;

Original song: "Casualty"

I've been playing around with part of this in my head for a while, but there wasn't much of a song there before.

I feel like the first few notes are a sing-songy thing we used to do as kids. I don't know if this is common, or specific to my own childhood. Sort of a "Nyah nyah-nyah nyah-nyah nyahhh" teasing or taunting sound. So I've always thought it might be interesting to make an actual song out of it. At least, I think so. It's hard to know for sure at this point. But I'm pretty sure I'm not making that up... XD

Original song: "New first song"

Just made it up. I'll work out the details later. 😂

Made up a song by accident, so I figured I should make a record of its existence so I don't forget it. XD

It's happened before. Once. I actually woke up after dreaming an entire song years ago, and immediately recorded it. That was weird...

This was different, as I just picked up the guitar after waking up and...well, I guess we had something to say today. :)
