Kumakun4's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Ballad of the Windfish]

It's pretty damn good, you can barely hear the music apart from the cords but your voice is lovely as always.
Don't suppose you've ever considered singing a remake of "Almateria", the song for the opening sequence of the Tales of Symphonia anime?
Your voice sounds like it'd be perfect for it after hearing this o.o

VGSongbird responds:

That's kind of what I was going for--choral music is more of a combination of notes, rather than a melody with harmonies.
And I'll listen and see if it's something I'm interested in ^_^

[Rising Sun]

I've probably said this about a lot of your songs but goddamn, girl. The intensity, the feverish tempo... Makes me want to grab a massive broadsword and go fight something huge.
You're incredible :D

NemesisTheory responds:

THANKS!
I'll go ahead and grab a massive broadsword too and join you haha!

[Rose At Eclipse]

Jesus Christ I love you.

Dude, this sounds... amazing.
I just wish you had more time to pump this stuff out...
Really makes you want to just grab a massive weapon and walk nonchalantly towards a giant foe in slow-motion, back turned to the camera, looking all heroic.
Great stuff.
Doesn't really sound like any of the other Roses though, maybe the melody is just too diluted for me to notice any similarity to the previous incarnations...
But hey, it's incredible, so who cares, right? :D

NemesisTheory responds:

Thank you!! I wish I had more time too, lol. I hate making everyone wait so long for new songs... it used to be like 12-16 tracks per year, now it's like 3 or 4. that's just no good. :(

besides that, that's exactly the kind of stuff i love as well xD

it doesnt really have a connection/similarity to others roses i think, mainly because the style is so different. i did try to keep everything sound as rpg-like as possible so it at least belongs in the rose err family, i guess lol. <3

thanks for the review <3

[Chrono Cross - The Dream]

:O!!

That part at 2:03... *o*
That's all I had to say.
This thing is gorgeous :D

VGSongbird responds:

Thank You ^_^
I worked really hard on it, and I'm glad you thought it was worth your time.

[~*Castlevania - Prayer*~]

:O!!

I think the reverb makes it sound like you're in an empty room more than an empty cathedral though. I always figured the echo in the latter would trail much longer than this.

Still, there's no denying you have an --incredible-- voice.
Like RicePirate, I've had this on loop for a few hours now.
You've really got a gift, and I've heard that, when God gives someone a gift, he also gives them a mission.
So don't throw this talent away because of a few vain people out for pageviews, the music world will weep if you give up o.o

VGSongbird responds:

Wow. That was really thoughtful and has given me a much needed boost of confidence.
Thank you :D

[Psy-Kaliber 2097]

:O!!

It actually looks very Castlevania-esque, looks like a sweet game. Can't say I've ever played it though.
But your music, man... asdahsdajaskasd.
You can compare yourself to other artists all you want, you've got something incredibly unique going on.
I just wish you had more time to pump these out :c
Downloaded, five'd, tenstar'd, love it, need it, want moar! <3

NemesisTheory responds:

It really is! Though it's really just a hack-'n-slash with a boss every stage, but the style is what drew me to it when I first played it (then, the music lol).

And thank you! <3
You will get moarrr in the near future don't worry! :D

[Halcyonic Falcon X]

:O!!

She didn't even comment on it.
Wicked bitch of the east indeed.
That being said, it feels a little powerful for an ambient track.
I've always imagined ambient music to be that kind of soft background music you hear during interludes, between missions in a game or something.
Maybe I'm wrong.
This sounds good, all the same. I don't really hear the HaFaX in this though.
Maybe I haven't listened to enough of her work...?

DJ-Delinquent responds:

this isnt Ambient

its Full on Rap/Hip Hop

but she doesn't want to admit it

[ToS - Harmony]

Trip down memory lane

Hahaha man, I remember when I first finished the game, I fell in love with that track, looked everywhere for it and was so dissappointed at how short it actually was. It's a very powerful piece and you do it justice. The extension sounds very natural and just blends in perfectly with the original score.
So, kudos! It's a shame we can't really make out the lyrics. Either that or the fact that I know nothing of latin makes it impossible for me to make out what you're saying. All the same, more power to you!
Keep making these, you're brilliant and you've got a terrific voice.

VGSongbird responds:

lol I'm always so cautious to make any lyrics in English, because I don't want to betray the game in some way. But I am getting more and more requests to do things in English, so I may just do one in the future!

Thanks for listening :D

[One Must Rise 2011]

Just...wow.

This song is just amazing, the flow is very natural and this just oozes professionalism and know-how, it's not the kind of music you hear every day and it's hard to believe that you're the one who's created this from scratch. It's mind blowing.
I won't lie to you: I'm in love.
Not with you, because it would most likely be one sided and I know next-to-nothing about you, but I AM head over heels for your music. I swear to God I have every - single - track - you've ever made downloaded and listen to them on loop as often as I can, whenever I can.
Your work is an inspiration, the fuel to my aspirations and nothing short of genius, regardless of wether or not they happen to be fanpieces. So, whatever you do, I BEG you as a rabid-near-stalker fan, do NOT stop making music.
Please.
All my votes are belong to your work.

P.S. Sorry for sounding like a creeper. <3

NemesisTheory responds:

you're awesome!

thank you for your amazing support and totally kind words!
and don't worry i'm not stopping anytime soon <3

[The Open Window]

<cringe>

You seem to have accidentally hit an extra note around 1:00, it just really hit me for some reason, but that's the only quirk I could find in this. The build up is nice, the piano sounds vibrant and full of emotion. I like :D I may end up listening to this on loop while ripping my hair out trying to nitpick at plot holes.

GameBoyFireworks responds:

Perhaps the extra note wasn't extra at all... perhaps it emotion that you can't handle... Or perhaps this is me trying to compensate for a blunder. You'll never know. ;)
