Description:

In which WIL tells you he loves you in the worst way possible.

Would you look at that!! It’s WIL!! And it’s Halloween!! And for the first time in 5 years I actually went ahead and made a special Halloween upload!! And just like the 2012 one, I ended up super crunched for time and wanted to clip into a wall and cease to exist!!

It’s sort of funny―I originally started gearing up for this cover back in September right around when I finished the Donut Hole cover. Halloween was coming up, I still had momentum, and Candy Addicts was something I’d been planning on covering with WIL for a long time. I made thumbnails, played around with costume design, tested out WIL on the VSQx―the whole show. Of course, I also wanted to hit Friday the 13th with Doll and Left Eye, but even with that, it still left me with a couple weeks given that I’d already done all the tuning for that one.

oh how naive i was w

This project honestly   fought me at every step and it’s a miracle I even finished it ;; Trying to pick up the original tuning was a pain in and of itself, much less trying to fit it to my own style and make it sound decent. Add on top of that the fact that I’ve never really used WIL before and you’ve got a whole new set of problems, not to mention the trouble I had trying to make harmonies or even mix the darn thing. If I’d had more time, I would have loved to have covered this in either the original pitch or the +3 key instead, or even just given the mix more fine tuning, but a a a a a what can you do.

As for the art I’m    a little embarrassed honestly ;; I made a bunch of mock-up sketches for the costume based on the one in the original PV, and eventually I settled on this one for a bit of an “old-timey candy baron” vibe. But later when I went looking for more references, I found Kaname’s KAITO design and   realized I’d gone for the same concept without realizing ;; I tried to put my own twist on it and fit my design more to my usual WIL, but a a a a a a a a a

I did!! However!! Try to put my own spin on the PV overall!! At first I wanted to recreate something more like the original, but after a couple thumbnail drafts I landed on this setup and it just stuck. A couple elements didn’t make it into the final render, like some star decals and some moving elements, but I think it works out for the most part―less clutter and the like. I hope I’ve made a somewhat unique take!!

And as for the subtitles, I tried doing something a little new?? The direct Japanese to English translation was a little barebones and hard to work with, especially when it came to splitting up subs so the JP lines would fit properly. So instead I went ahead and referenced a couple different sets of translyrics and stitched together something that more echoes the general meaning/feel of each line rather than the word for word translation. It was definitely a lot easier and more enjoyable to work with!! And I got to have some fun with a couple of the lines in a way that I normally don’t get to do w

The lyrics are pretty rough overall, though, seeing as I only had enough time to give it one pass. I intentionally tried to limit any rhyming just because if one line rhymes, I’ve gotta do all of them, and I didn’t have enough time to try and figure out how to make each one work w

But!! Regardless!! At the very least!! I managed to get this done!! I put in a lot of late nights and played a bit of a dangerous game in trying to juggle this along with work and school, but it’s done and I’m glad!! It’s not exactly the way I imagined it’d be, but honestly!! I could care less at this point!! This is yet another cover I’m slam dunking onto Youtube!! AAA!!

I worked hard to make this a reality!! I hope you’ll enjoy!!
