Okayu album talk 1/3
>Start
Okayu’s wearing glasses today, and a flower in her hair, how does it look? She wanted to do the stream at 10 like usual today, but she’s been getting sleepy a little early, so she decided to start the stream early as well. Poisonyaa Syndrome is out now, so Okayu would like to talk about some of the process/thoughts about each song that happened behind the scenes. She’ll focus mainly on songs that released recently with the album. You ask if class is about to begin? Shall she teach you something they don’t teach you in school? Just kidding.
>Grandma got hers
Has the album been delivered to everybody yet? Not everybody? By the way, it seems like Okayu’s grandma got her hands on a copy already. Right, she preordered it on Tsutaya. It seems like her favorite song is Kamisama Nekosama.
>Mogu Mogu Yummy
This one has been slightly remastered/tuned for the album, so people who are very discerning about that kind of stuff may notice the difference. Though she didn’t do a new recording or anything, so most people probably won’t notice. Okayu thought it should be the first song in the album, due to it being her first and probably most known song. Okayu thinks it’s usually a happy feeling when the first song that plays on an album is one the listener already knows.
>Grr Grr Tummy
Okayu has the instrumentals for all her songs today, and she’ll be playing them as she talks about the song in question. Before Korone released Doggy God’s Street, she let Okayu hear the instrumental, and Okayu thought it was fantastic and wanted FAKE TYPE to do a song for her to, so she got into contact with them. The beginning of the song sounds just like Korosan’s, doesn’t it? It’s secret Okakoro. The song is really hard to sing, Okayu warns, so you better practice if you plan on singing it at karaoke or something. She practiced everyday just to get it right. The song FAKE TYPE provided was so perfect that Okayu wondered if it needed her to sing for it. Okayu personally loves how the songs go from Yummy to Tummy. It rolls off the tongue easily.
>Akkanbe
Well, Okayu talked about this song quite a bit yesterday already, but she thought she’d talk about why she ended up doing a death growl for it. What do you think influenced her to do it? Aggretsuko? That’s the right answer? The anime that Mio loves and got Okayu to watch with her was the inspiration. Even if the VA switches for the metal segments in the show, Okayu still wanted to do it herself. Right, if not for Mio, this wouldn’t have happened. It was definitely a challenge. She would have just done some kind of gyaaa scream if she hadn’t been able to perform it. Mio’s the mama of the death voice? That sounds kind of ominous. When she recorded the song, they had her save it till the end due to how rough it can be on the throat, and fed her some super delicious pork-kimchi onigiri and miso soup before that part. So if you thought the death voice part smelled a bit like pork-kimchi, that’s why. Make sure to eat some if you’re having trouble with that part. She’s seen quite a few comments from overseas bros for the Akkanbe video when compared to other videos. They must like the metal/rock feeling to it. Please enjoy it.
