Vocalising Desires: AMPLIFIED (Vocaloid)

Chapter 5: Odds & Ends (Part 1)

-Miku's POV-

"HmmmHMM!HmmmHMM!Hmmm!HMMM!Hmmm!Hmmm!HMMMM!HmmmMMMM!" I hummed to the instrumental version of the song Ryo and I were creating.

"It's perfect Ryo-san!" I cried out in amazement of his fellow band member's skill in music, I hear them from my laptop saying their thanks. I am using Skype to communicate and collaborate with the band. They were very helpful and sad that we are going to part with this extremely emotional song.

Soon the lyrics are discussed and over the messaging we both get to review the lyrics.

"Change that from 'trash' to 'odds & ends' makes me sound like more...human" I said.

"I think maybe change 'the loser' to 'ass in lion's skin'" Ryo muttered.

"Hmmmm...yeah it's coming together" I mumble through my hand that was currently covering my lips. Ryo also muttered something and we kept changing certain lines. Suddenly the subject turned to music video.

"I think a live view of the band playing would be cool" Ryo said thoughtfully. I nodded in agreement. I was only 16 but to have this sort of life was easy for me, Mikuo didn't mind in fact he had communicated with Ryo as well due the fact they met in America when supercell were playing live there, he met him by chance and both exchanged information about each other and soon, they both realised they were connected to me. Funny.

"I think maybe...somewhere...messy...suburban...industrial" I said throwing out ideas.

"I see where you are getting at here. The song is called Odds & Ends and having a video of nature would be very weird" Ryo mused.

"Hey what about have it in like a tip or something, not a garbage tip more like a metal recycling centre" one of the members of supercell said thoughtfully. Ryo and I both grabbed that idea.

"And what about have a...robot! A small, old fashioned, toy, metal robot there as well to represent you Ryo?" another member suggested and we knew he was teasing Ryo but he nodded.

"That's actually a good idea" Ryo said, I smiled as I hear the member muttering to his friends about it being a joke and all.

"So what about me?" I asked curiously and Ryo thought for a moment.

"Well have you as a program...on a small tablet so to represent the two different worlds both personas live in" I smiled at that idea. It was true. While Ryo lived in a world of business and with adults where kids my age weren't involved or allowed in. I was still a first year high school student who still had to finish off the day's homework before going to school the next day, so really the song writing aspect of both of us were also different. Ryo did it because he was paid to do it but it was his job, while I did it because of the love of music but as a thing to do in my spare time.

"That is pretty cool" I replied nodding my head slowly.

"What's up Miku?" Ryo suddenly asked me, a tone of concern and interest in his voice.

"What do you mean?" I ask curiously.

"Hey, I have been working with you long enough to know there is something bothering you, so what is it?" Ryo asked. I took a deep breath in.

"There is this guy, a pretty attractive guy. But a guess...a little distant. I just got him to trust me but now I am back at square one" I replied pouting. Ryo nods slowly and his hand covering his mouth and chin as he gathers his thoughts.

"You know, I am going to be dead honest here with you, I am always feeling like that. You know thinking I am getting somewhere but then...back at square one" Ryo said kindly. I look into the face on my laptop screen.
