WOOHOOO, check it out-! It's something a little different from my usual repertoire, but I did this english translyrics adaptation and cover for the song MAKUAKE by Cher Watanabe, from Digimon Ghost Game! The background art of Tamer Parker and Partner Siriusmon was done by the illustrious @seasonofprophecy, I can't thank them enough- it came out SO darn gorgeous thanks to them!

After over a year and a half of the discontinuation of the in-app updates, with this year which marks the 3rd anniversary of the app, Ikemen Live has made a comeback but in form of a CD Crowdfunding Project to raise funds for the release of the remaining songs which have yet to have its full version release.

On September 5, 2021 “Own The Night～「Ikemen Live Koi no Uta wo Kimi ni」IkeLive 1st ALBUM” was released with a total of 7 songs (1 Main Theme sung by all Characters, 2 Unit songs, and 4 Character songs)

・最愛PHRASE【All Cast】 ・HORIZON【HOUNDS: Haruto, Ritsu, Eisuke, Gaku】 ・Even if【SilverVine: Kanade, Kyoichiro, Henri】 ・Liberty Sky~自由デアルタメニ~【Suma Haruto (CV：KENN)】 ・雨が終わる場所【Ginnami Ritsu (CV：Aoi Shouta)】 ・The Labor【Mashiro Kanade (CV：Fukamachi Toshinari)】 ・Go fly away【Amamiya Henri (CV：Ookawa Genki)】

However, 3 Character Songs and 6 additional Unit Songs only had its short version released in the app and the full versions for them have yet to be release to date... these songs are:

★Gaze you【Chigusa Kyoichiro (CV：Itou Kento)】 ★B/S Heaven【Shinonome Eisuke (CV：Taniyama Kishou)】 ★Open Strings【Suo Gaku (CV：Kaji Yuki)】 ★さようならDayDream【SilverVine: Kanade, Kyoichiro, Henri】 ★OneSong【HOUNDS: Haruto, Ritsu, Eisuke, Gaku】 ★Very Merry Holy Night【SilverVine: Kanade, Kyoichiro, Henri】 ★Nightmare Wonderland【Ritsu / Henri / Mokuran Shuji (CV：Ichikawa Taichi) / Ginnami Yuzuru (CV：Ueda Keisuke)】 ★Let us bet!【Haruto / Eisuke / Aizumi Koki (CV：Kondou Takashi) / Fujishiro Meguru (CV：Kuroda Takaya)】 ★饒舌EXPOSE【Haruto / Kanade / Tsubaki Makoto (CV：Ono Yuki)】

On the crowdfunding page, it was stated that due to the cost of production, they weren’t able to release these songs despite various request for a CD release and to restart the operation of the app is also a difficult situation to manage. However, they didn’t want to just end IkeLive like this while they still have yet to deliver the full version of the remaining songs. As such, they have started this crowdfunding and will use the funding raised to make the CD production possible!

Appleの新製品発表会が、午前2時から開催された。もちろん私は夢の中、目覚めてからチェックすると、みなさんiPadminiの変貌ぶりに興奮気味。それならと、私もノリで購入してしまった。先日導入したPaidyなら無利息の3回払い、やはり商売が上手い。Apple京都での引き取りが9/24（金）、後期の授業ノートはこれで作ることにしよう。そう、あくまでも仕事のために買ったのだからね、誤解のないように。
