Dennis-i Friday Update #8
1. Next Song — Honkai Impact 3rd Story Series Vol.6

The next song will be based on the Thousand-Herrscher arc from Honkai Impact 3rd.

However, I still haven’t decided whether I should make one song or two for this chapter.
If you played the first part of Honkai Impact 3rd, I’d love to hear your thoughts — especially whether you think this story deserves one song or two. Feel free to share your ideas with me!

2. Aventurine • Waveflair

I won’t be making an Aventurine's second song this time.

For me, Aventurine’s story so far hasn’t shown a clear enough stage of growth that makes me feel there is another song I need to write for him yet.

That said, I’ll be looking forward to the day when his story gives us that opportunity — and I hope I can make a second song for Aventurine when that time comes.

Creator Note #3
A new song is coming today! (09/13)

This time, I wanted to share why I decided to make a character song for Robin • Summeretto.

If this were simply a swimsuit version of the character, I actually wasn’t planning to make a song for her in the first place.

But after looking through the official information and the story in the game, I felt that this version of Robin clearly shows a change in both her identity and her state of mind. Because of that, she no longer feels like simply a “summer limited” version of the character.

That is also why this song is a little different from my usual ones. I combined two distinct musical styles to express her journey from restraint to freedom.

There is also an interesting change in the story between Robin and Sunday.

During Penacony, it was Robin who tried to help Sunday see things from a different perspective. Now, in a sense, Sunday has become the one who helps Robin find her way when she feels lost.

It seems that becoming the head of the family really doesn’t leave you with much freedom.

Even when Robin faces the same kinds of difficulties, she is still able to find her own answers. Seeing the two of them continue to grow in their own ways is genuinely heartwarming.

By now, I think you’ve probably already figured out who the “wind” in the title really refers to.

Dennis-i Friday Update #7

Hello everyone!
Here’s this week’s update!

1. This Week’s Release — September 13
The new video will be released on September 13
Here’s the schedule for the day:

(1) 12:00 — Creator Note #3
(2) 18:00 — Preview Short
(3) 21:00 — New Video Release

2. A Quick Note on Suno V6

Suno recently updated its V6 model, and so far, it seems that quite a few creators feel that the new model is more of a step backward than an improvement.

That said, I don’t want to make a final judgment just yet. I’d like to spend more time experimenting with V6 and see what I can actually get out of it before deciding how I feel about the new model.

Thank you as always for listening and supporting my work!

Mortenax Blade Fan Song — Listener Feedback is Finally Here!
(The PDF is available in both English and Chinese.)

This time, I’m sharing some content hidden within the second chorus of QIANYE.

If I hadn’t received the badge back then, I originally wasn’t planning to reveal these lyrics.

After all—Blade is a tsundere. (By Silver Wolf)

So this time, I’ve put together a little chorus breakdown. Feel free to take a look if you’re interested.

Maybe this will give you a different perspective on QIANYE; or maybe, when you first listened to the song, you already saw it this way. (That’s seriously impressive!!)

Here’s the link to the feedback:

Dennis-i Friday Update #6

I finally have some time to share my creative plans for the coming period.

On August 16, I paused the previous round of listener song requests, mainly because I wanted to wrap up the projects I currently have in progress.

For the time being, aside from character songs from Honkai: Star Rail, my main focus will be the story series for Honkai Impact 3rd.

There is also an important reason for this—some of the songs requested by listeners have been held back by my progress through the Honkai Impact 3rd story, so I want to finish this part first.

One of the defining features of this series is that I have created a specific melodic style for each character. Finding a way to reflect each character's musical identity while also making the music fit the story is going to be a major challenge for me.

At the same time, I hope that whether or not you have played Honkai Impact 3rd, you can still use these songs to understand, experience, or revisit this amazing story.

As for Honkai: Star Rail, I will continue to follow the same principle:

I will only make a song for a character if they have meaningful character development or enough depth worth expressing through music.

This week has been quite busy, so I can only progress through the story during the weekend. Because of that, I still can't say for certain whether Robin • Summeretto has enough character development and story material to meet my standards for a song.

I will finish the relevant story this weekend and officially let you know my decision afterward.

Of course, if you really want me to make a song for Robin • Summeretto, feel free to tell me why in the comments.

For example, you could share what kind of important growth or changes the character goes through, or which parts of the story you feel are especially worth expressing through a song.

If I ultimately decide not to make a song for Robin • Summeretto, then the next song will continue with the Honkai Impact 3rd story series.

Once the Honkai Impact 3rd story series reaches its conclusion, I will start the next round of listener nominations.

And when the time comes, the songs will also explore a completely new thematic direction.

Stay tuned.

Creator Note #2
A new song is coming this Tuesday! (09/01)

【Honkai Impact 3rd】 Story Series VOL.5 《Won’t Let Go》

This is the first time I’ve used two songs to tell the story of the same chapter in Honkai Impact 3rd, because I felt that trying to properly portray the “Herrscher of Sentience arc” in a single song would be far too rushed.

While the previous song focused on the resurrection of the Herrscher of Sentience, as well as her sense of identity and the values she chose for herself, this song focuses on the clash of ideas and beliefs between her and the main cast.

《Won’t Let Go》 centers around the imagery of the “hand.”

Does having a stronger hand mean you can hold on to more?

Sometimes, the harder you grip something, the faster it slips away.

So, should we let go?

But perhaps, if we are not holding on alone, and instead hold on together with someone else, we may be able to protect more than we could by ourselves.

The three characters in this song each have something they deeply value.

Whether they are willing to hold on or willing to let go, they ultimately each make their own choice.

This song does not intentionally place the spotlight on any single character. Instead, in the design of the song, I tried to show how the “hands” of the two corresponding characters gradually change in what they are trying to hold on to.

That change is also carried through the melody.

Some of the melodies in the first and second halves are intentionally shared, but the feeling conveyed by the lyrics is quite different. Through this, I wanted to create a sense of yin and yang shifting, with the perspectives gradually exchanging places.

The same melody, different choices.

And in the end, “holding on” and “letting go” have never simply been absolute choices between “gain” and “loss.”

September 1 Release Schedule (GMT+8)

(1) 19:00 — Preview Short
First glimpse of the song.

21:00 — Release
The full song will be released.

Dennis-i Friday Update #5

The next song will be Honkai Impact 3rd Story Song VOL.5.

The title is “Won’t Let Go.”

This time, it’s a Japanese-English mixed song told from three perspectives, with Herrscher of Sentience’s melody serving as the main theme.

Can you guess what Fu Hua’s melody will sound like?

The song is currently scheduled for release on Tuesday (9/1). I’ll also share the Creator Note and the exact release time on Monday.

Stay tuned!

Here’s a little update on what’s been going on lately~

Aemeath’s song successfully earned the HYPE badge!
(Unfortunately, it didn’t make it into the Top 100. )

As a little thank-you for the support, I’ll also be uploading an early prototype of one of the candidate songs for Aemeath.

By “prototype,” I mean a song I generated while searching for inspiration. This particular song was also one of the ideas I originally planned to develop further if "A Small Miracle" had won the vote at the time.

At the same time, this means I really need to finish the feedback song for "Qianye" first. I can’t keep putting it off anymore… damn it. QQ

Also, compared to my other songs, the Honkai Impact 3rd series is always a particularly big challenge for me, since there’s still the whole issue of melody adjustments that I need to work on.

So, the new video is currently planned for next Tuesday.

As for more information about the song itself, I’ll save that for tomorrow’s "Friday Update" and share more with you then!

Dennis-i Friday Update #4

Here’s a preview of my next song!

I’m currently working on Honkai Impact 3rd Story Song Vol. 5
As for the release date, I’ll update everyone next week.

As for Honkai: Star Rail, both characters featured in this version are swimsuit characters. So, as usual, I’ll play through the story first before deciding whether I’ll make a new song for them this time.
