It also marks the 61st cover and celebrated 800 YouTube subs.<br />The original video on YouTube generated 104,901 views with 56% ratings (101:79) and 67 favorites. It was my #1 most watched video and #3 most downloaded cover.<br /><br />Vocal cover as usual - all vocals and harmonies are done by me.<br /><br />There are many things I've learned through the 7 consecutive releases, and even more so by following ABC's monthly schedule for the past 5 months, doing 5 songs from the same guy, but 5 different styles. Ballads are always extremely challenging to sing, because it's not just techniques, but feelings must be felt by the listener. Honestly I really liked this song's melody the moment I heard it, and at the same time, I felt it was impossible for me to sing it anywhere near as well... I did give my best to record and mix it this time, even though it's not as good as I wanted it to be. I hope you still enjoyed it.<br /><br />Recording took about 2 days, and mixing took about 3-4 days. Because of various reasons, I was extremely extremely serious and cautious about the whole process so I kept redoing it. I used new recording equipment, mixing software, and of course a completely different way of mixing as well. This time required a 2 octave harmony again, which I am somewhat accustomed to by now. I think the general overall quality was improved (though there were a lot of parts unsatisfactory...).<br /><br />Make sure to enjoy in HQ for best sound quality.<br /><br />You can also follow my latest news on twitter!<br />最新情報はtwitterにて！<br /><br />==================================<br />Official Website: http://members.shaw.ca/jinxyz527<br />Twitter: http://www.twitter.com/jin527<br />Blog: http://ameblo.jp/jin527/<br />Official FC: http://www.facebook.com/JIN.FC.SatelliteS<br />Ustream: http://www.ustream.tv/channel/jin-s-live-broadcast<br />deviantART: http://jinxyz527.deviantart.com<br />MySpace: http://www.myspace.com/jin527<br />==================================
