So, go easy on me. This is my first time singing/recording/editing/mixing anything-- let alone posting it, but I really wanted to participate in March Caprice this year. I wouldn't have been able to even do this much without the incredible @projectdestati lending me their sensational talent for the accompaniment.
I hope one day to re:record this piece sometime down the road when I've got a few more collaborators (and can afford a decent microphone), Hopfully by then, I'll learn how to mix, or can afford to pay someone to mix it into an actual track. For now, there are 2 versions-- one with lots of nerdy call backs and the other that's a little more simple and .... tidy.
All that to say,
I rewrote the lyrics to Hikari to reflect the themes of Kingdom Hearts a bit better. Hikari has always hit a bit different than Simple and Clean, for me and I just wanted to sing along, so I made these lyrics. Hope you enjoy :)
Lyrics:
Been having dreams,
At least it seems
That way…
How much is real
Of what I feel
And say?
Was I reckless diving in so deep and
believing you would follow me,
And dive in after?
Was I wrong all along ?
You and me weren't meant to be :(
How can I face what lies ahead?
How is this the path that my heart led?
And now dawn is breaking
and soon you’ll be waking
This that path I am taking
Will lead me back to you.
Hearing the dark call, I’ll fight it with my all
Keep shining bright,
Cause you’re my guiding light.
~Break~
Now back to back,
We walk our paths, my friend
But when we meet
My hearts will beat again
Never thought that it would end like this--
With you and me facing the great abyss
Though doors are closing
Pick a side, you and I, we’ll get by
Cause you’re next to me, we are the key
we always were.
Take my hand,
And we’ll go together
~Break~
And now dawn is breaking and soon you’ll be waking
This promise we are making
Is like the one we made while
Watching the stars fall--
I promised you my all.
I’ll stand and fight
For you, my guiding light
Slowly,
The pieces come falling into place,
and we’ve landed standing hand in hand.
Regardless of heartless,
I know that we’re prepared for this fight.
You’re my guiding light.
Slowly,
The pieces come falling into place,
and we’ve landed standing hand in hand.
Regardless of Darkness,
I know one day we'll set this all right.
You’re my guiding light.
Like the title says: a video I made for those things (and also March Caprice). I hope you guys like it: a celebration of KH and our Sunshine Sun on this special day, to help get us through until we hopefully get some news at Summer Games Fest or something. LOL
Oh! And though it might be hard to see (because it goes by so fast and that kind of thing... there is a clip of Terra in this: he's on the split screen with Axel).
This will be my fourth year in participating March Caprice 2024! This drawing took a lot out of me but I got the chance to learn a lot from it! I was originally was just going to draw three but then it just got out of hand. I really liked how the background turned out too!
Anywho, I hope you can enjoy my piece and happy March Caprice!

For anyone that's interested in joining our multi-animator project, here's a quick thread for how you can take part. First, you can join the project's Discord server here: discord.gg/dRrgfGJsND
Second, after you've introduced yourself and read the server rules, you need to share some of your work in the server's promotion thread. It can be animation work or just art pieces, but you need to show examples of your skills. We can't assign work to animators if we don't know what they are capable of, so the sooner you can share your stuff, the sooner we can assign you animation work.
Once you're assigned, you can make your animation as goofy or as on-model as you want and in any style you want, too. So long as we can tell who's who, have at it. Hope to see you there, and we look forward to seeing what you can do.

As the vernal equinox heralds the renaissance of nature, so too does it mark a period of reflection and renewal in the life of Mr. Eric Bozoian, accompanied by his ever-faithful companion, Faren. 🌸
In the waning days of March, our duo ventured to the serene expanse of Plum Island in Massachusetts, a place that rekindled Eric's childhood memories amidst its natural trails and pristine shores. 🌊🥪 There, they indulged in the simple pleasures of a picnic, their repast accompanied by the gentle symphony of the sea. Their exploration then led them to Newburyport, a quaint tapestry of shops and culinary delights, crowned with a festive St. Patrick’s Day ice cream float, a concoction as delightful to the palate as it was to the spirit. 🍦🍀
Further north, the duo found themselves in Maine, entranced by the rumored purple sands of Kennebunk's beaches. True to the tales, the sands, kissed by the alchemy of the ocean and earth, did not disappoint. 🟣🏖️ Eric, ever the collector of nature's marvels, gathered some of this colored sand, a token of the day's wonders.
In the social sphere, Eric navigated the treacherous waters of post-divorce life with a fortitude born of introspection and therapy. 🌊🚶♂️ Amidst this journey, he found solace in friendships unmarred by the pressures of alcohol, a refreshing change that has contributed significantly to his well-being and happiness.
March also brought with it a trial of the flesh—a peculiar growth upon his head that, while benign, necessitated surgical intervention. The removal of this unwelcome visitor has brought relief, both physical and psychological. 🏥
But the most significant revelation, a crescendo in the symphony of Eric’s recent life, is his decision to propose to Faren. 💍 Amidst discussions of futures intertwined and homes shared, they’ve laid a foundation of understanding and preparedness, a pact to safeguard their journey ahead. Date yet to be determined ; )
Yet, as he contemplates this new chapter, thoughts of his former life partner linger, like shadows at dusk. 🤝 His therapeutic odyssey has laid bare the painful truths of change, missed signals, and the ephemeral nature of love once thought eternal. He wishes they could still communicate, but fears this time has since passed.
His previous marriage, a tableau of joy and despair, now serves as both a cautionary tale and a wellspring of wisdom. Eric recognizes the delicate balance between the bliss of union and the imperative of self-protection. 💔➡️💪
In his musings, Eric reconciles the dualities of his heart: the desire to love freely and wholly, yet with the sagacity to shield that love from the caprices of fate. He steps into the future not jaded but enlightened, armed with the lessons of yesteryears and the hope of tomorrows yet unfurled. 🌅
Thus, in this journal entry, we capture a snapshot of Eric's ongoing journey—a tale of rediscovery, healing, and cautious optimism. As the days lengthen and the earth awakens, so too does Eric, ready to embrace the spring of his life with eyes wide open and heart unabridged. 📚❤️
“Never have I ever...” Ella tapped her finger against her chin. “Never have I ever...cast a curse on an ex?”
Ella’s lopsided grin grew larger as she looked around at her friends and all of them stared back at her in disbelief.
“Have you done that, El?” ImPeria asked.
“I wasn’t talkin’ about me, suga...”
Ella tossed her ear length brown bob in Caprice’s direction; and Caprice stared back at her incredulously. The nostrils of her narrow nose flared while she fixed her glacial yellow eyes on her best friend.
“You ain’t shit.” Caprice shot at her. “I deal with assholes all week at the precinct and then I gotta come to your small ass house to deal with you being an asshole too?”
“Just fucking admit it.” Ella said.
“Fine, bitch.”
Caprice, lightly, touched the middle finger and thumb of her left hand together and popped them open; and a shower of yellow sparks flew from her fingers with a high-pitched wheeze.
ATTENTION! Please read in regards to this project's future.
When this project first began around the end of 2022/early 2023, our hope was it would be finished in time for March Caprice 2024 this year. However, with our current progress, it looks like it wasn't meant to be.
Does this mean that we’re scrapping the project or submitting this year when it's unfinished? NEVER! But it does mean that we won’t be able to submit it for this year's event as the deadline for submissions is tomorrow.
To that end, we will continue to work on it with no deadline for the time being. Once the project is complete, it’ll be released to the public. Be it at next year's March Caprice or sometime after, who can say. It’ll come out when it's ready.
Until then, if any of you reading have any art, fandubs, theories, or any other projects of your own that you want to share at March Caprice this year be sure to send them in soon!
You can find their submission pages here: https://www.marchcaprice.com/
UPDATE: While the project itself won't be ready for this year's March Caprice, there will be some representation this year. Stay tuned!
