Hey it's been a bit...some updates, kind of a lengthy post...can skip if it's too long I guess.
First Steel Ball Run was announced and I can't wait for that to be animated...and yeah, I'll likely be doing extensions of it. Life really got in the way big time the past couple years compared to the time I used to have to do these videos so I haven't gotten to a lot of Stone Ocean tracks but I'll still be giving it a shot when that OST is available for SBR. Same plan for ONE PUNCH MAN Season 3 since its announcement...once that OST is out, I'll be working on that one too with any Garou music taking top priority first (I'll do an update to the "Sadness and Violence" video including any new music for him).
Second...I can't stand Sony cockblocking Bleach OST uploads. I've wanted to work on Bleach for awhile but Sony makes that impossible. In the same breath I do want to mention that Warner Bros has been a problem for some JoJo music...but only some, many tracks are fine it's just they focus on their most popular ones such as Giorno's Theme. At the very least people have done some remarkable covers and recreations that get around those problems but those are personal works of those content creators - I don't extend that stuff unless I get permission from them (same with all covers and whatnot). Anyways...I recently uploaded two versions of Fade to Black B13A extensions and both are blocked...isn't that lovely?
Third...I believe YouTube is withholding some of my videos from search results since I'm unable to find them myself when looking. As such, it's kind of irritating to put effort into some of these things and only maybe get my sub views via notification or exploration of the channel vs the general public being able to find it while searching other stuff. While the channel remains up, this feels like the algorithm working against me...and maybe that's why some of the JoJo videos haven't been as popular as they were during Golden Wind (or maybe Golden Wind brought in a massive audience that wasn't retained for Stone Ocean I don't know). Not to sound egotistical as I'm quoting what some have said about the videos...that the channel goes under-rated and music that should be out there for everyone to find just isn't due to the way YouTube has messed with it.
I believe in the near future channels like mine won't have much room to grow at all due to the way YouTube is. I just hope I can keep uploading...I think I have a majority of the videos saved between two computers but I'm sure there's some I don't have backed up. As always if something ever does happen (like an overnight Nintendo purge that happened to one major channel a few years back)...I'll try and throw what I can (minus any potential copyright threats) onto a new channel with a similar name. I wish I could throw a lot of this up on Spotify since everyone requests that but as almost every single video on this channel uses an official OST as its base I don't TECHNICALLY have the ability to upload these on Spotify (also - I don't know what would happen if I tried).
I miss old internet...in so many different ways. Early YouTube > modern YouTube by far. For those that stuck out this long post if you'd like to request a Stone Ocean track I haven't done feel free to...and I still want to do another "sad death music" compilation like I did a few years ago before Stone Ocean released.
