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:

1. Our first EP - 99% completed! See ↓ for details.
2. 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.
3. Trailer video - It seems god-forbid June is maybe this video's release date...
   

PLANNING:

1. 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

Our entry into MAIKA's original song contest!
And with this, we are finished with our 3-song compilation for our first EP!
With just a few more edits, we will publish it very soon.
There will be a short introductory manga, so please be sure to check it out!

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☆

UPCOMING:

1. 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
   
2. "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.
   
3. 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].
   
4. 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:

1. 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.
   
2. 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.
