lyrics by Remo
Falling cherries staining these bombs
Swelling heat breaks down lock-scope of 3D mark,
forcing vision all on your heart
Twist the adjust, wall the tension
Lose forms of all past penance
Dancing rhythm guides your fast-hit tempo
[That's it, trash]
[You've found answers]
[Just leave]
In the silent
[Can't help fate]
Fasting war while craving cries of voice I hear
Dreams rusting as I'm right there
Wilting flowers only serve as memories
At the feet of the gods they will appease
And it must end, those swollen lies
Just amen, force-feed goodbyes
Find despair with hanging pistols
Face your trigger, set your thrust
And if it's wrong, this final chance
Don't belong, seek to advance
Only outcome holds gold in shooting down your neutral heaven
Sirens laugh as smoke is choking off your air
Missiles guiding sweet fanfare
Chasing rabbit down the darkened field of salt
Sharpen focus to tagging foes upon asphalt
That's how it goes, not children's play
Lagging flows, just slight delay
Seeking joy in broken bottles
The glass fall through pulsing veins
And that's called love, drowning in rum
It's enough, feeling like scum
Raining bullets pierce armor of ignorance I held up
And if it's wrong, this final chance
Don't belong, seek to advance
Find despair with hanging pistols
Face your trigger, set your thrust
And it must end, these swollen lies
Just amen, force-feed goodbyes
Only outcome holds gold in shooting down your neutral heaven

March news
Good news! The PV for "NH" is all finished!
Good news! Remo got some mixing headphones soon to arrive!
Good news! We decided not to buy Luka V4X!
Bad news, Riido decided to change the .vsq a bit.
Bad news, Remo's headphones take a week or so to arrive and another week to "break in."
Bad news, Remo decided to retune and remix the entire song.
We're still working on getting back into the groove of things, but for the most part we're slowly clicking back together.
Thank you for your patience!

【EP1 release】 LIGHT&BITTER - We Are
We are proud to finally release our first EP, We Are!!
This is the compilation of Lizts's and Riido's previously released originals / in-progress originals before the formation of LIGHT&BITTER, revamped and refurbished.
It includes a short introduction manga regarding who we are, we hope you enjoy reading it as much as Remo enjoyed drawing it.
This also marks our debut into Vocallective, a VOCALOID and UTAU music label. We are honoured to have been accepted, thank you very much.
This is our complementary free album to celebrate the formation and debut of LIGHT&BITTER.
However, we appreciate any donations and feedback via email. Thank you very much!!

6/7+ News
First off, a formal apology for the lack of news updates!
Currently, we've experienced a series of unfortunate events, including:
- Lizts on indefinite hiatus [due to work]
- Busier schedule for Remo + Riido
- Lack of professional mixer
Due to the latter, La Partida; Calma was unable to receive a more official mix and will be released as-heard on the YT video.
_
Our first EP will be released on Friday, July 12th!!
It is a free album to celebrate the start and progress of L&B, and we are very excited to share with you a short 3-pg manga depicting ourselves.
It consists of our 3 released songs and lyrics.
We're very happy to finally release ittttt
_
Finally, and sadly,
LIGHT&BITTER will go on hiatus for ~3 months.
This is to further organize and plan around Lizts's absence, as well as to develop our mixing skills and for the remaining Riido and Remo to familiarize with each other's style.
Of course, we are also managing real-life events, we apologize for the inconvenience.
We'll try to update the blog with tidbits and news into our "training camp" hiatus.
Currently, we are scheduled to queue songs and even make a game depending on how things go.
Stay tuned and pressure us every now and then☆

May news
Sorry sorry for the late post. We ran into unfortunate circumstances and a work schedule for one member, but now we're easing back into making songs. Also schedule is looking busy for most of us, so our rate of work is predicted to be slower.
Shorter news segment this month.
UPCOMING:
Shorter news segment this month.
UPCOMING:
- Our first EP - 99% completed! See ↓ for details.
- La Partida; Calma - Riido's song for the MAIKA contest! Azureflux of Vocallective and VO.net offered us a spot on his MAIKA-exclusive CD! We will have the finished mp3 very soon, and with it, the release of our EP.

PLANNING:
- Artbook - Ideas are slowly starting to crank for this project. Remo is planning for a late-year release around December or so, but it's a temporary placeholder. If you have any particular artworks you'd like to see regarding LIGHT&BITTER, please email Remo.

lyrics by Riido
| No sé que pasó Por qué así todo terminó Tenía mucho para dar No me diste la oportunidad Hice el esfuerzo por seguir Mas nunca pensé en mi Fuiste el porque de mi vivir Y ahora te vas Si, quien desconfio fui yo Pero fue con razón Pues nunca demostraste ser mejor Sin mas, te dejé de importar Para qué mirar atrás No puedo-- Siempre te esperaré Nunca admitiré el adiós Sin ti no creo poder seguir Dices que es lo mejor Pero sin ti No puedo Qué necesidad De traicionar a tu otra mitad Querias a otro corazón No me vengas con perdón Di todo lo que soy Para que olvides tu dolor Pero de recompensa Te burlaste de mi amor Qué, si el odio me consumió Si la ira me cegó A gritos descargo mi dolor Al fin, la tormenta ya pasó Y puedo decir adiós Ya no te esperaré, Nunca mereciste mi amor Y me perdiste Fuiste de lo mejor Lo fuiste El cielo ya despejó Y mi futuro veo hoy La esperanza vive en mi Siento que lo mejor Fue el adiós Lo siento |
I don't know what happened Why everything ended up like this I had so much to give You didn't give me the opportunity I made the effort to go on Though I never cared about myself You were my reason for living And now you're leaving Yes, I was the one who distrusted But I had reasons Because you never showed to be better Just like that, I ceased to be important to you "Why look back..?" I can't... I'll always wait for you I'll never admit goodbye I don't believe I can go on without you You say this is for the best But without you I can't... What is the need to betray "your other half"? You were in love with another heart Don't come to me with "I'm sorry" I gave everything I am For you to forget your pain But in reward You mocked my love So what, if hatred consumed me If anger blinded me Screaming, I relieve my pain At last, the storm has passed And I can say goodbye I won't wait for you anymore You never deserved my love And so you lost me You were the best You were. The sky cleared And I can see my future today Hope lives in me I feel that the best Was the goodbye I'm sorry |

April News
We will start up a monthly news update to keep everyone notified on what's going on with LIGHT&BITTER, what things to expect / look forward to.
We'll post quick blurbs in the Discussion section of our YT channel, but the blog will go in-depth and even sneak some previews in, who knows.
Otherwise, we've set up a rough schedule of 1 song release per month, hence 2 albums per year if things go well.
We will try our best to be diligent☆

Otherwise, we've set up a rough schedule of 1 song release per month, hence 2 albums per year if things go well.
We will try our best to be diligent☆
UPCOMING:
- Our first EP is well under way! This is the promised free album we've been talking about ever since our debut. It will feature "Tuesday Love Blues," "My Sadako Girl," and "La Partida; Calma." Currently, we are roughly 70% completed and tanking throughhhh
- "La Partida; Calma" - this is Riido's first song with LIGHT&BITTER, as well as our entry for the MAIKA contest. If Remo's word means anything, it's utterly amazing☆ An unused scene for the PV has been posted, which you can view here.
We will definitely upload this before May. - Trailer video - A basic outline has already been drafted. Ideally, this will be released in early May, but realistically closer to mid- / late- May [or god forbid, June].
- Tumblr - Having another outlet with the VOCALOID community! This opening hasn't started yet, but after our EP release we will get to it as soon as we can.
PLANNING:
- Covers - we are thinking of making covers with our own take on the instrumentals. This idea is still in its infancy, currently we haven't really given it serious thought. If this plan does follow through, Riido will provide vocals or another VOCALOID will be singing. The schedule will go around 2 weeks per cover, depending on circumstances during the time.
- Artbook - This is more of a solo project by Remo than a group project, but the digital-only artbook will contain full versions of PV scenes [if any are unposted by L&B blog or Remo's personal blog], sketches / concepts, and any unreleased art relating to L&B. Since Remo essentially uploads 90% - 98% of artworks, this will most likely be a very slow project to accumulate... unless suggestions are given regarding what the community would like to see in this potential artbook.

【Lyrics】 My Sadako Girl
Music | Art
lyrics by Lizts + Remo
There's this girl who always hides her face
No one knew how she looked,
it was all just an empty space.
But that fateful day, I have caught a glimpse
And couldn't seem to believe with my eyes
Right there, I was mesmerized
But even past her chilling sight,
With sweeping hair dark as the night
Was a light that shines my days so bright
But wait, something's not right
There's only 7 days now left in my life
Something had changed inside of me,
I didn't know how it could be
But deep inside my heart,
knew that we are so apart
But even when she passed me by,
I looked into her eyes
And it took a while for me to see,
that she's so perfect for me
Am I being too hasty
Or maybe I'm just going crazy
Or did I read this wrong
There's no way this love goes this strong
Yet my mind is telling me that I shouldn't go and run away
Though I'll die that day
there is nothing left anyway
My dark fears all began to fade
These thoughts I'll tell it to her straight
Before all this becomes too late
I knew that I was cursed
But on the 7th day,
she burst to tears and put my mind to rest
I confessed, It's all okay
you don't have to be alone
'Cause time flies by with you behind me
These memories, I'll hold it dearly
and I will gladly give my life to you
So find your way and carry through
Something had changed inside of me,
I didn't know how it could be
And deep inside my heart,
knew that we are gonna part
But when I opened up my eyes
she went into the skies
And I see you again
