My country's government seems to try slowing down YouTube (or maybe even blocking it).

Again, if you wanna stay in touch, consider joining my Discord server (you'll find the link next to the channel's userpic).

See you there.

Hello once again, ladies and gentlemen.

Not gonna lie, 2022 was pretty difficult and stressful. Some people may even call it "2020 part 3" of sorts, since lots of terrible stuff happened this year (I think I don't need to tell you about them in details, you can google them yourselves if you want).

For some of us, this year was the year of changes, mostly not for the better. The world seems to have become pretty different now. And I wanna say big thank you to those who didn't leave me but kept supporting me and being friends during this hard year, in spite of all the shit the world had experienced (and still is experiencing).

However, I'll admit that, for other people, this year was full of hard, productive work and success, and I'm happy for you if that was your kind of 2022. That wasn't my case, though, so I'm sorry for not posting that many covers in 2022: there were reasons for that.

I can't make any promises, predictions, or plans, but I hope the next year, 2023, will be better and bring more good changes to our lives.

🎄 Happy New Year, folks! 🎄
Let your best wishes come true... and let peace finally come back.

I've gotta tell you something. Something sad but important.

To be honest, regarding the ongoing crap, I don't know if I'll make any music cover videos any longer.
YouTube — the only platform where I used to publish my cover videos I spent a lot of time on making — is now under a huge threat of being banned and blocked in the country I'm from.
If that happens, I'm afraid Mega Man 9 Boss Battle cover video may be my last.

I don't know what else to say here... I'm currently in despair, anger, and fear because of being unable to save the day, to change anything.
I guess you already know what exactly I'm talking about.

If you wanna stay in touch, there's a link to my Discord server. You'll find it in my channel's About section.

Stay safe.

Still thinking which Stage Select theme to cover first, and which one last.
I'd like the last three numbers to be consecutive, so covering Mega Man 7 last is not an option.

On one hand, it's really difficult to make Mega Man 6's Stage Select theme sound less lame than the original because of the lame melody itself. And yeah, I like 6's Stage Select the least among all mainline classic games (i.e. MM&B doesn't count).

On the other hand, I'm stilling thinking if I should reproduce the original Stage Select's visuals or make them classic, like Mega Man 8 FC or something. The former is kinda more true to the original, but it's gonna take f-o-r-e-v-e-r to make, so it's unlikely to be the best option in my case.

So which sequence would you prefer?
And what do you think about the classic approach on Mega Man 8 Stage Select cover's visuals?

Still working on Mega Man 10 Stage Select cover... and recovering from that COVID thing.

The cover video is scheduled to be released around December 25th, just like Mega Man 3 Boss cover last year.

That's really ironic that I was working on Mega Man 10's Stage Select cover when I've got a phone call from the hospital and was told I've got COVID-19...

Here you can write your requests for VGM covers (mostly classic Mega Man).
Keep in mind that I can't promise to cover all the requested themes in the nearest future, but I'll take them into consideration anyway. ;)
