Oh, don't mind this :S
For those who don't know it, this song is the opening theme of the anime Elfen Lied, and was made to match a classical style of music, being sung in Latin and originally performed by professional opera singer Kumiko Noma. I was a fan of this anime by the time I was discovering Vocaloid around 2016, and I always thought it would somehow match VY1. It was a popular song amongst the early Vocaloid community, so you can find lots of other covers, and almost none of them use an operatic style like the original does.
So this is just a fun test to please that old wish I had years ago. Of course it's not made to match the original at all, I might play with VY1V4 to sound more or less dramatic, but the truth is she was not designed to sing opera, nor in Latin. The original version is unique in it's own way and totally worth listening to. Kumiko Noma's voice has a charm that no Vocaloid can replicate, it's so soothing that it sounds like it's directly calming your anxiety xD On the other hand, this is neither my best nor my most serious/ambitious work, I'm literally forcing a japanese voicebank to sing in Latin and in a genre it's not even supposed to be singing: Again, it's just a fun experiment. That's why I didn't upload it to Soundcloud.
And no, this isn't the first time I cover a non-vocaloid song. Also, have in mind that I don't like doing anime openings or songs from series, since this channel is oriented only to music and I find that show/anime preferences are somehing much more personal and specific that not all of you share. But this was an exception because, weather you like or not this anime, Lilium is such a good piece that it deserves to be recognized as a work of art appart from it's context of origin in Elfen Lied.
PS: It's still my favourite anime series though, but I have to say my favourite thing from the whole show is this song xD
