Miku Cover - Bad Moon Rising - Creedence Clearwater Revival

I’ve been listening to a lot of CCR recently, and all this talk about the rapture made me want to make this.

I’m still using the free trial, by the way. There’s plenty more for me to learn as well. At first, I assumed that the phenomes were limited to the Japanese alphabet, but I recently found out that it’s a bit more broad. Initially, to make her say the word “see”, I would use the letters “すい”, or “su i” and just squeeze them together to cover up the “u” in “su”. This is because the syllable “si” is absent from the native Japanese vernacular and the nearest character, “し”, is pronounced “shi”. The “sh” made it sound out of place and “su i” sounded clearer. I had the same issue with the English word “to” and the Japanese character “つ”, or “tsu”. However, I found out that, if I manually adjust the phenomes, I can make her drop the vowel at the end and just make her pronounce the consonant or even change the vowel. So, it turns out that she can pronounce “si”.

This being said, she will pronounce the different phenomes differently. I found that making her say the letter “k” on its own sounded far too sharp and out of place and the character “く” actually sounded better in one instance, but “k” sounded better in another.

Also, I found that, in MuseScore, you can use an arpeggio to imitate a guitar strumming effect. Just set it to a low value. In my case, it’s at 0.2. I did this across every chord in the track and then hid them so they’re not obstructive in the playback. Most are on a down arpeggio, though I used up arpeggios on eighth notes to try to imitate an upwards strum.
