Now That I Have Become a Woman, I Am a Vtuber - Chapter 599
The draft lyrics I sent to Hyeon-su came back around lunchtime the next day.
Curious about what parts were modified, I hurriedly opened the email and saw the music file along with an attached message.
[I added a few things while I was at it.]
“…Huh?”
Well, they did modify it, but…
As they said, something extra seemed to have been added.
Oh no.
I felt like I had foolishly messed around with the professor and ended up getting additional assignments.
[Try singing the lyrics while refining them.]
Look at the annotations.
It was a strangely heated tone, but Hyeon-su was right.
Yeah, since it’s lyrics, I do need to give it a try.
After looking at the revised lyrics for a moment, I headed to the recording studio attached to my house.
A space truly designed for recording.
It’s fully equipped with sound equipment, microphones, and soundproofing.
“Let’s see….”
Today was my first time using it for real, but I had learned how to set everything up when it was installed, so I handled the setup skillfully.
I closed the Celestial Realm server, booted up the sound program on the laptop I had placed in this room after having stored it in the warehouse.
I put on the headset that came with the sound equipment.
Now, when I played the audio file of the latest version of “Cherry Blossom Escape” sent by Hyeon-su, the melody and lyrics started flowing out.
In the meantime, Hyeon-su had nearly completed the song, and although I didn’t know it just by the melody, hearing the lyrics made it seem like a song filled with some kind of soul.
Hyeon-su must have accumulated a lot of frustration.
After all, having been a top star in society and then being locked away for a year and a half… he must have been under significant stress, knowingly or not.
As I listened to Hyeon-su’s impassioned song, I tried singing along to the melody according to my part.
Although it was still an unfinished draft, thanks to Rain having touched it once, I could sing it fittingly with the melody.
After recording, when I listened to it, I couldn’t help but admire it.
“Oh….”
To think I could achieve this kind of recording quality at home, that’s amazing!
“Hm.”
Should I try recording something else while I’m at it?
I briefly went online with my laptop and looked up “mr.”
“Let’s see… this one seems like it could work.”
Thus, I played around with the sound equipment while singing along to some J-pop or trendy songs a few times.
“Ah, ah. Can everyone hear well?”
-???
-?
-What is this?
-Where is this place?
A good idea struck me, and I turned on the broadcast on the laptop.
Since it was a high-spec gaming laptop, I could easily start the broadcast.
However, with no proper setup at all, viewers would only see the raw screen of the music program.
“Okay.”
Since there were no major issues, I stepped outside the recording studio to confirm that the broadcast was running.
“Let’s see….”
I went straight to the dressing room and rummaged through my clothes.
Even though it was a bit hot in the studio and I was dressed in a short-sleeved shirt and shorts, I stubbornly pulled out my penguin pajamas.
After putting on a white mask I had bought just in case from the box on top of the dressing room wardrobe.
Next, I confidently entered the broadcasting room, unplugging the connected webcam and microphone from the computer.
-When are you coming?
-Where did this b**** go???
-What program is that that’s running??
Then, after returning to the room filled with viewers who had poured in during that short time, I quickly connected the microphone and webcam to the gaming laptop.
Click, click.
Then, after a few quick clicks with the mouse….
The screen switched, and the webcam appeared on the broadcast output.
-???
-Huh?
-What is this?? Hahaha
-Wow
-Great Miro
“Ah, can you hear me well?”
After turning on the webcam, I checked the microphone.
Can you hear it well?
Waving my hand, it seemed like the webcam was showing up nicely without any delay.
-Yes, yes, we can hear you well
-What’s with the webcam??
-Where is this???
-What is this? Is it the recording studio??
Looking at the viewers’ reactions, it seemed like the microphone was working well too.
“Hello, everyone.”
-Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
-Take off your mask
-Where is this?
-Is it the recording studio?
-Is it The Six Headquarters??
-Don’t you have any other pajamas?? Hahaha
-Really, where is this??
Since I was showing the recording studio for the first time, there were many questions in the chat.
It’s not easy to imagine this as a home.
“This is our home recording studio.”
-???
-Really??
-Is this your house?
-Why is it so professional?
“Alright, now, why did I turn on the broadcast?”
-What? Huh?
-How would we know?
-The cam farm needs saving
-Please take off the microphone
“Because….”
Why did I suddenly start the broadcast? And with the cam on too.
“Do you see this sound equipment? I’ll be singing, so listen and see how the recording goes.”
The reason was simply that I thought it would be nice to show the recording while I was at it.
It had been about a million years since I last did a song broadcast, so it was time for one.
-???
-Wow, hahaha
-You’re using this setup for a singing broadcast??
-What are you recording??
“Recording isn’t anything grand, just songs I want to sing.”
Plus, since I could loosen my voice and regain my sensibility with a bit of singing, it was a win-win situation.
“Okay… then shall I start with a familiar one?”
And so.
I began to sing in a place with exceptionally good facilities for what would otherwise be considered an ordinary singing broadcast.
The very first was a familiar original song from Miro.
-Wow, hahaha
-How long has it been since I heard this?
-Great Miro, hahaha
-I am Hwang Miro, hahaha
-“A song? Just sing.”
The advantage of the original songs made by Miro Family lies in their diverse styles.
Thus, even songs from the same album resonated with a variety of sounds in the broadcast.
“Ah, ahh…!”
Considering it was my first time singing like this in a while, I did pretty well, but since my voice wasn’t fully warmed up yet, I had a few slight cracks in the high notes.
-Hahaha Live certification, wow
-Is this person a professional singer?
-But they really do sing well, for real;;
-Is this really the same Miro from the early days?? Truly legendary…
Yet, it seems I hadn’t lost my singing chops.
I was able to sing with a quality sufficient for the viewers to feel satisfied.
[Thank you for the 1,000 won donation, ooo!]
Hahaha, the Victory Team I heard at the concert was truly amazing!
-Hilarious, hahaha
-No way
-What…
-Seriously, ha…
-Not being able to go was really infuriating;
“Oh, the concert?”
Hearing the song live brought back memories of the concert, and chat began to circulate about it.
Now that I think about it, the original songs I just sang were created because of the concert.
Memories of bustling about and creating songs during that time resurfaced vividly.
-When will the concert be again??
-Please have more seats next time!
“I don’t know when it will be again.”
Another concert…
I feel like I’ve already felt a sense of fulfillment having done it once with Miro.
Well, if it gets pushed through, it’s not impossible, but it’s not the kind of thing to do during a break.
Moreover, since there haven’t been any new songs in the meantime, even if we hold a concert, the setlist would inevitably be similar to before.
Wouldn’t that be a bit troublesome?
If I’m going to have another concert, I need to give a different feeling.
-Why don’t you know????
-Does the Celestial Realm not allow it?
-With your resources, can’t you hold a concert by yourself?
“It’s not that much, you know? And I’m broke now.”
It’s not a lie; I really am broke.
Of course, I might have more than the same age peers, but it’s relatively little for a celebrity now.
-Hahaha
-Of course, because you bought an apartment with a Han River view
-YOLO generation, haha
-“You can save on living expenses.”
-What did you spend all the money you made from broadcasting on??
“What did I spend? Can’t you tell from this?”
I lifted the webcam to show the surroundings.
The impressive soundproofing and equipment set up in view.
“I invest all my earnings into the broadcasts.”
-Invest in the broadcasts?
-But the facilities really are good, hahaha
-How much did this all cost??
“Uh, well… actually, it wasn’t a huge amount. I bought it secondhand.”
When asked about the price by viewers, I answered a bit awkwardly.
Thinking about it, it was secondhand for all the effort I put in.
-???
-Oh;;;
-What do you mean something secondhand with Buhwang’s name???
“A friend sold it at a low price, so I jumped at the chance.”
-Oh, hahaha
-Was it really from Danggeun Market?
-Save the farm from Danggeun Market, hahaha
-I’m gonna eat some rice and spend this as Great Miro
-Since you bought sound equipment, aren’t you going to do a cover song?
“A cover song? Uh… um….”
Thinking about it, other members were actively releasing cover songs.
Did I, unlike a VTuber, not release enough?
“Shall I pick one and do it?”
Since I have a recording studio now, doing one without pressure would be nice.
Mixing can be done by paying someone else, and I can illustrate the cover song video and just let The Six’s editing team handle the editing.
It was truly an easy task.
By reducing the trouble of having to go to the recording studio for recording, the difficulty of doing a cover song was significantly lowered.
-Ooh, hahaha
-You’re really going to do it??
-What are you going to do??
“Well, I should pick an otaku song that you all like and that I like too.”
-Wow, hahaha
-Fact) All of it
-Don’t pretend to be an otaku, okay?;;
-This is definitely this, haha
-Ilbon fans are Mireung, hahaha
Come on now.
Everyone loves J-pop and are still calling me Ilbon fans.
As usual, I brushed off the flood of slander and thought about which song to cover.
Hmm… but I haven’t listened to J-pop lately, so nothing comes to mind.
The most I could come up with would be the songs the members have covered, so the updates are slow.
“What song should I do? Do you have any recommendations?”
But if I covered the same song as the members, I’d be facing some complaints, so I asked the viewers, who are the experts.
-Please, Betelgeuse
-Idol, let’s go???
-Since you’re a VTuber, you gotta do a Vocaloid song, hahaha
-Let’s do Rabbit Hole too??
“Hmm.”
Then the recommendations came in rapidly.
Since most of them were very famous or trendy songs, they were likely to be ones that other members have already covered.
“If possible, please recommend songs that the Celestial Realm members haven’t covered.”
-???
-If it’s not overlapping it’s tough, haha
-Oh;;
-That’s harsh, hahaha
-Do you know how many cover songs the Celestial Realm has?
So when I asked for suggestions that Celestial Realm members hadn’t done, the rapidly appearing chat transformed into confusion.
“Oh, that’s true….”
…Thinking about it, the Celestial Realm has been around for five years.
If we want to avoid overlaps now, then popular songs would all be cut off.
Or… well, Korea side would be less likely, I think.
“Still, somehow squeeze out a decent one for me to recommend.”
Since I would waste time pondering it alone, I urged the viewers.
With this many people, can’t we get a decent suggestion??
-What, you just leaving it up to us??
-This guy is so brazen!
-Why don’t you hold a vote?
-Just go to the café like usual and collect suggestions!
“Oh, is that so? Then I’ll take suggestions at the café and hold a vote.”
Then, as expected, since numbers matter, our viewers gave me responses.
-???
-Damn, hahaha
-This is absurd, haha;;
-What kind of spineless behavior is this??
-Legend of shallow ears, hahaha
Thus.
Regardless of what the viewers said, after that, I accepted suggestions from the café.
“Okay, we’re voting. No going back on this.”
After a very democratic process, the song to cover was decided.
