Here's the second promo for the album version of "beLIEve" by @lunarshift.bsky.social, with a bit more of a finalized mix on display. All Instruments: @akiko.social Vocal: Kagamine Rin (placeholder) Art: ananatze.bsky.social

.

I'm a trans musician (@lunarshift.bsky.social) writing lyrics about the LGBTQ+ experience, mental health struggles, and relationships. I consider my lyric style to be "uplifting emo" and my genres range between rock, post-hardcore, and metalcore depending on the song. I hope you can enjoy my music!

🤩

If you didn't see the show last night, catch the VOD here. I don't make guest appearances often. I gave an extensive look at my history that I haven't shared with my audience before in such depth, including influences, more about @lunarshift.bsky.social, and a brief history of being a virtual idol.

【MUSIC TALK STREAM】 Sunday @ 7PM EST, I'll be talking with @akiko.social of Lunar/Shift! I'm sure we'll have a lot to yap about together regarding Pokemon, but I'm curious to see where we connect musically - she's got quite the love of metalcore! Waiting room: youtube.com/live/bWsxHKC... #ENVtuber

Just for fun, here's a mini bass cover of one of my favorite こすもぽりたん songs, YIN&YANG. I'm a out of practice if you can't tell, but please do enjoy. It's not often I show my playing. I opted for a lot of down-strumming because it sounds awesome with my current bass setup. #bass #cover #めらみぽっぷ #play

First I want to share this about my song: Although it may mislead you, Monochrome isn't a song about lovers! It's a song about mental disorder, identity, and self-acceptance. 誤解を招くかもしれませんが、モノクロームは恋人たちの歌ではありません！ これは精神障害、アイデンティティ、自己受容についての曲です。 Listen again with this in mind and you may hear it now.

2024 was a great year, and we're so excited to grow more in 2025 with Re:Verse! Thank you for all the support! Check out our music on YouTube, Spotify, or Bandcamp! We are also on many other streaming platforms, just search for Lunar Shift! OFFICIAL WEB ➤ akiko.social/lunarshift #SpotifyWrapped

Reminder: I'm still looking for vocalists to feature on my upcoming album. We're delaying it because I want to find a perfect fit for each song. Please respond to the post I've quoted if you're interested in singing on Lunar/Shift's full-length album!

"Sketch" and "Monochrome" should be reappearing on Lunar/Shift's digital streaming pages very soon ❤️‍🩹 Sorry, my old distributor was incredibly horrible about handling their shutdown and just about everything else they ever did... so it should come as no surprise that we have to start over from zero.

Sketch and Monochrome will be temporarily unavailable on most or all music services. This is pending resolution now and should be fixed in a few weeks at most, hopefully sooner. The old distributor did not give me a good timeline for when my songs would be pulled, so I wasn't able to plan ahead. 😭

My favorite song from the new "sprite best PLUS (2011-2022)" compilation album. The chorus is so very catchy, and the song feels almost like some Garupa songs I like from Afterglow, interestingly, especially in the chorus. Anyway, this is really a great song and a fantastic CD. Highly recommend it.

Pics that go hard????

While nothing is official (yet!) it feels more and more likely with each passing day that we won't be meeting our Dec. 2024 deadline for the new album release. This is because things such as our old distributor shutting down has forced us to reallocate some time into fixing our digital releases...

Hmm... thoughts?

About Re:Verse physical CDs We will be making the CDs in-house with CD-Rs. I know this may be disappointing to some, but this is the way that we can afford to do it with the funding the album has received. I intend to have the CD booklet and tray insert printed professionally, if possible, however!

We've left the monochrome world... in search of a dreamscape full of color... The shape of things to come will leave us breathless. Art teaser 1.

I will be slowly drip-feeding you new information about Re:Verse as we get closer to release. I would like to announce today that the album will be able to purchase and download from both Bandcamp and BOOTH on day one. This will be the first time we've had a synchronized release on both platforms!

We have art in the works now for the Re:Verse album cover. I hope you look forward to the reveal and more details about Re:Verse leading up to the release. Thank you for your support so far. We will continue our hard work to deliver a quality project with this album that we can be proud to share!

I just want to note that, while I am willing to engage with most of you and follow some of you, it will most likely be through my personal account @akiko.social, as this account will strictly be posting updates as they pertain to the Lunar/Shift project, and only following members and collaborators.

Calling all bsky #youtaite I'm working on my debut album and would like to feature you on a track *if one of my songs suits you* I have worked with a number of other amazing talents in the past, including the incredible 0P2C. If you have the pipes for a rock/post-hardcore song, show me your work!!!

My old music distributor (Level Music//WMG)... which I am not the biggest fan of, as you may be aware, is shutting down soon, so I'm tasked with moving all of my releases to my new distributor today. Wish me luck.

Buy @lunarshift.bsky.social music on Bandcamp today to support me as I continue work on the new album! ♥ Love you!

Akiko being loud again...

We've added a section to the bio section of our profile for acknowledging our guest vocalists!

Hi everyone, my name is Kurisu, a 25 y.o. college student. Will use this account to post about games, music, anime and other media I like. I also do vocals for Holmgang Ov Gensokyo, a Touhou doujin circle.

Originally by the amazing 死際サテライト This is our rendition of 盈月モンスター #東方Project #東方音楽 #東方Music #歌ってみた #カバー

"So take my hand and lead me to another place Please take me away" This song, like several others I've written, has themes of working through mental health struggles, but also is inspired by the feeling I get when I start to fall for someone and my simple fondness ultimately becomes adoration, too.

In celebration of my birthday, here are some free downloads of @lunarshift.bsky.social demo album "Sketch"! Redeem here: lunarshift.bandcamp.com/yum setl-wxsv jh9h-hk3s 743s-e8ll xsxp-3rve 4jcg-clz3 qbh3-we84 fdcl-hbbm w4j4-vw46 eebh-gwey grds-b42r tl4p-wqwl 2epb-ctde #bandcamp #codes #download
