At long last, it's done.... I checked the creation date of the file and it's from April of last year... 💦💦
Glad that's over with, and I'm pretty happy with the final result. Here's all the references if you were curious.

Todays rip: 08/11/2023
Rolling Start
Season 1
Featured on: GilvaSunner's Highest Quality Video Game Rips: Volume 6.66
Also on: Hatsilva Miku: Ripping DIVA
Ripped by beat_shobon
If there's one thing I think I'll end up regretting with this blog, it'll probably be over how harsh I think I've come off in describing Season 1. I get the feeling that a good number of SiIvaGunner fans - a solid majority of subscribers at this point - weren't able to be around for the channel's big breakout year, and have only been able to listen to its rips in retrospect. And yeah - a lot of them are messy, lack quality control, and in general tend to have a feeling of being...undercooked. But that really shouldn't take away from just how special of a community it was to be part of back when - when the channel's jokes, the people behind it, and what to expect from it, were ALL a mystery.
I've never been big into vocaloid, and it certainly wasn't what drew me to SiIvaGunner - nor has SiIvaGunner really made me all too interested in pursuing it further, honestly. But even I could REALLY tell that Rolling Start struck a chord with people - a mix of The King of Speed and it's iconic opening bellow of "ROLLING START!!!", and Rolling Girl by the late vocaloid musician wowaka. My vocaloid-invested friends have all told me the same thing - during his ten-year tenure doing music, wowaka was an absolute pioneer in the vocaloid field, and songs like Rolling Girl showcase exactly why, even to a relative outsider like me.
The sheer emotion present in the song is undeniable, and the blend between lyrics and vocal samples from both songs works shockingly well - its a duet between an artificial girl and a sentence-mixed racing game announcer, in a language many of us don't even speak, yet its intents are clear as crystal. Despite not understanding it, I come back to this rip constantly - and with 200K views, I'm likely not the only one. I can't quite pinpoint what keeps me coming back to this rip in particular, yet...everytime I return, its as if I'm there in June 2016, as amazed as everyone else was at that time, relishing in the sheer emotions the two songs exude.
