Sorry I haven't made a video in a while, I've been busy as hell. *Not dead tbh* Just had a lot of homework lately to even do anything nowdays. I just made this really quick today because I don't have homework and I got out school early. ^^ I uploaded this on my test account earlier to get some feedback and then decided I should upload it here too. I thought I'd try doing an RSMV with one of my favorite Chinese (Or.. Taiwanese? SOME SORT OF ASIAN) songs. [[: (YES, I'M ASIAN.) I was thinking of how to do it so I just said the lyrics in Chinese and put subtitles in English at the bottom. :D I thought it turned out pretty good, just wanted to try something different because I never see RSMV's like in different languages. D: Cept I saw short ones in like Dutch. oo. Or Sweden. xD Plus Asian music is totally ftw. ;3 I like listening to music of different languages cause it just sounds cool.. Even if I don't understand it, rofl. :D Oh and umm... my translations might not be the most accurate because I barely speak any sort of asian language. x_X I am not finishing this song, mostly cause.. I don't know what I would do with a lot of the lyrics. Was just something fun that I pulled together really fast. [: Props to Ryan and his pro Chinese speaking skills even though he didn't know he had any. xD
