New Discord Server!

Hello everyone! In case you haven't noticed, I've now linked a discord server to this Patreon! This way, you guys can talk amongst yourselves, or get in touch with me a lot easier! It also works as a much more casual way for me to share behind the scenes updates, look through your suggestions, and answer any questions you might have!

This is all part of my larger plan to expand this Patreon page. I'd love to keep making Otamatone videos for you full time, and one of the only ways that ...

Crazy Noisy Bizarre Town - Otamatone Cover

Hello again, everyone! Hope you are all staying healthy and safe.

This week, I decided to revisit JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, which has encompassed some of my most successful videos in recent history! These videos are always a challenge to make, but I'm really happy with the outcome!

As the world is slowly opening back up after this pandemic, I've decided that starting on the next video, I will once again be charging for each new video posted (same upload schedule). I hope that wo...

Seven Nation Army - Otamatone Cover

Hi guys! Hope you are all still staying safe and healthy! This week's cover actually has a bit of an interesting history behind it.

Back in October of 2017, I started working on a cover of Seven Nation Army. I recorded the audio, made the thumbnail, even recorded the footage! I ended up abandoning the idea when I couldn't quite get a grasp on how to emulate the style of the original music video. Since then, I've seen requests for this song off and on again, so I thought I would give it...

It's Been So Long - Otamatone Cover

Hey guys! After the extended delay of my last video (Astronomia) due to a copyright claim, I was debating not posting a new video until the 11th of May, since I hadn't even come up with an idea by the time Astronomia finally went live.

Luckily, there was an overwhelming amount of support for a specific song, It's Been So Long. I used to love when the Living Tombstone put out new FNAF songs, so it's really exciting to finally tackle one of their videos! This video process was extremely ...

Astronomia - Otamatone Cover

Well, it's been one hell of a week...

The original upload of this video got copyright claimed (as YouTube mistook it for a reupload of the original song). I disputed it, and the video was supposed to be unblocked after 48 hours. Cut to 5 days later, it is still blocked. I've been on and off with YouTube support all week, and while they are supposedly attempting to fix the issue, they keep telling me that it will be an extended wait time due to the pandemic.

As a last ditch effort...

New Video Update 4/18/20

Hey guys! Hope everyone is still doing well!

I just finished up the newest video early this morning, and ran into a small issue. On my last cover, the visuals were too close to the original, leading it to get falsely claimed. This time, the audio was too accurate, leading to another copyright claim on the newest upload. Rest assured, it will all be worked out, but it could take up to 48 hours for the video to be un-blocked (unless the claim is manually released before that 48 hour peri...

A Cruel Angel's Thesis - Otamatone Cover

Good news! It looks like the claim has temporarily been lifted on the video while the dispute is being reviewed! I have no doubt that the claim will be released once they finally get around to reviewing it, so looks like it should be smooth sailing from here (knock on wood)

Like I mentioned in my last post, this video is sponsored (which is the final sponsorship with World War Doh, part one being Last Surprise). Because of that, you guys will not be charged for this video! Hooray for f...

New Video Update...

Hey guys! So just as a heads up, the newest video might be delayed a bit. The video is a frame-by-frame recreation of the Evangelion opening "A Cruel Angel's Thesis". Because I did such a good job recreating the original, my video automatically got flagged and claimed as the original, meaning it is blocked in all regions until I can get the claim released. I sent in the appeal last night, but I'm not sure if things are going to move through the system a bit slower than usual due to the whole ...

Blinding Lights - Otamatone Cover

Hello again! I hope everyone is staying healthy and safe!

It's obviously been a crazy couple of weeks, and for that reason (among many others), I fell a bit behind in making the newest cover. It is scheduled to be released this evening, which means I'm unable to give you your full 24 hour early access. But that is a good thing for you, because that means this video is free! But you'll still be able to enjoy this video for a couple hours before anybody else gets to see it!

Despi...

The Box - Otamatone Cover

After the disappointing performances of my past two videos, I'll admit I've been feeling a bit discouraged. But nevertheless, I pushed forward with my head held high, and I've created another video that I'm really proud of. Every once in a while, I'll have a cover that includes a hand full of 1 seconds shots that I think are really well put together, and this is one of those covers (I'll let you guys decide what you think the best shots are!)

Also, as noted at the beginning of this vid...

Last Surprise - Otamatone Cover

Hello again, everyone! This weeks video has a sponsor, so as I have done in the past, you will not be getting charged for this video. Consider it a freebie!

However, there is one thing I want to ask of you in return. Once this video releases tomorrow, please share it with everyone you know. This video has to perform well (contractually), so I want to make sure it gets the views it needs. Post it on Reddit, Twitter, Facebook, wherever you want! It would really ...

Break My Stride - Otamatone Cover

Hello, everyone! The new cover is finished! While I doubt it will have as much success on YouTube as it did on TikTok (over a million views in 2 days), I think it's a fun video!

Let me know if you have any suggestions for my next cover! Thank you so much for your support, and I'll see you soon!

New Demo - 2/1/20

Hey, everyone! I've been hard at work on the latest video, and have actually gone through 2 different song ideas. The first was "Toss A Coin To Your Witcher", but then my audience informed me that the song "Break My Stride" was a bit more relevant right now, so I decided on that. 

With this being a TikTok trend, I know that I'll be catching the tail-end of this trend by the time my video comes out, so I decided to try something a bit different. I uploaded a meme-format clip to my T...

Bloody Stream - Otamatone Cover

Hey, everyone! I apologize for the lack of updates over the past few weeks. I've been trying to get back into the swing of things going into the new year, and have found myself incredibly busy (especially with this video). That being said, I think I am all adjusted and will be posting around here a lot more in the coming weeks! This is a song that I've been meaning to get around to for a while, since a lot of my audience really wanted more Jojo songs (a show which I know very little about).&n...

Dance Monkey - Otamatone Cover

Hey guys! The new video is finished, and this time, I have a sponsor! For that reason, I have decided not to charge my patrons for this video (hooray, you get a freebie!)

Sponsorships like this are never for certain, and that is why I am eternally grateful for your support on here. I didn't actually secure funding for this video until late Friday night (which was less than 48 hours before the sponsor wanted the video for approval). Also, the last sponsor I got was back in June of 2019, ...

Bring Me To Life - Otamatone Cover

Hello, everyone! I hope you all had a nice Christmas! I took a couple days off for the holidays, but it worked out because I had actually started production of this video in the first week of December. It was only half way through making it that I switched last minute to "Lucid Dreams". That being said, I finally got around to finishing this one, a song I've been meaning to do for a while now.

Thank you guys for another great year. See you in 2020!

Lucid Dreams - Otamatone Cover

Hey, everyone! I was able to turn around this video in less than one week, and I think it turned out quite nicely.

We only have one more video left in 2019. I'm not sure what 2020 holds, but I just wanted to say I am so thankful that I've been able to make these videos for you guys over the past 2 years. It's been the best experience of my life.

Alright, I'll see you guys next weekend for an update!

-TheRealSullyG

New Demo - 12/9/19

Hello everyone! So a couple months back, I believe that I mentioned I had started work on my cover of "Bring Me To Life" before ultimately switching ideas. Well this past week, I did the same exact thing! This time, the video portion actually got well underway (almost 50% done), but then the news broke of the unfortunate passing of Juice WRLD.

I was not immediately familiar with him or my music, but my sister suggested I look into some of his music. It turns out, I did recognize one of...

A Very Merry Otamatone Christmas

Hello everybody! It's almost December, so that means it's time for some new Christmas music! I'm really excited to release my new EP "A Very Merry Otamatone Christmas", and thought I'd give you all an early preview of the tracks!

As you might have already heard, I am hosting "24 Days of Otamatone Giveaways" this December, which means I'll be giving away a brand new Otamatone Neo every day between December 1st and December 24th. All you have to do to enter is retweet the tweet (there wi...

Mine All Day - Otamatone Cover

Hello again, everybody! Sorry for the lack of posts on here over the past few weeks, these videos have been taking up most of my free time!  For this week's cover, I decided to cover "Mine All Day" by Pewdiepie. I'm not sure if I mentioned this previously, but I actually recorded this audio before Giorno's Theme. This video was initially meant to be produced during that time frame, but I ultimately switched ideas very last minute. But better late than never, right?

Another quick an...

Giorno's Theme - Otamatone Cover

Hey guys! I apologize for this video being a bit late. It was a much bigger undertaking than I expected! I literally just finished recording the Otamatone audio, and threw it on top of the visuals that I finished just a few hours ago.

Due to the logistics and timing of this video, it unfortunately has to go live mid-day Tuesday (today). That means I am unable to give you a full 24 hours of early access, so therefore you will not be charged for this video! Consider this...

Update - 10/28/19

Hello everyone! Sorry I'm just getting around to posting a bit of an update. I finally decided on a cover last Thursday, and so I've been working really hard over the past few days to get as much accomplished as possible!

The song I'm covering is "Giorno's Theme" from an anime called JoJo's Bizarre Adventures. Not sure about you, but I was not aware of this song prior to a few days ago. Fellow YouTuber Joe Jenkins covered the song, and got a million views in just a few hours. He sugges...

Blue (Da Ba Dee) - Otamatone Cover

Hey guys! Sorry I've been off the radar the past week or so. I've been juggling a lot of tasks, from finishing up this video to recording the upcoming Christmas album (more on that later).

For the latest cover, I decided to tackle "Blue" by Eiffel 65. Fun fact, I actually started working on this video back in January of 2018, but didn't like how it sounded, so I scrapped the entire concept. After revisiting it almost two years later, I finally got it to a point I was happy with.

Ghostbusters - Otamatone Cover

It's that time of year again! Time for my obligatory Halloween cover (can you believe this is the third Halloween season I've been doing this?)

I apologize for the video being a day late. Had a pretty hectic week, but I'm happy to be back on my feet and working on videos again!

Thank you so much for your constant support, and I'll see you all this weekend with another update!

New Demo - 9/28/19

Hello everyone! Hope you are having a nice weekend. I'm really happy to say that the new video is doing extremely well! It started off slow with some really bad numbers, but then took off out of nowhere! It looks like it will be one of my fastest videos to ever hit a million views (hopefully by the end of the day!). And while the views are great, there was one thing that stood out even more: a comment from Mike Diva. If you are unaware, Mike Diva is a YouTuber who also happened to direct the ...

Panini - Otamatone Cover

Hello again, everyone! The newest video is finally done! I always forget how much work goes into a shot-for-shot remake like this video. By the end of the two weeks, I am completely burned out, as each specific shot needs to be edited separately, and the entire cover needs to match up with the original video down to the second. I think the outcome is rewarding, but it reminds me why I don't make videos this complicated every time!

Time for me to get a bit of rest before work starts on ...

New Demo - 9/18/19

Hey, guys! I realize that I haven't updated you guys in a little while, and I apologize. Since the last video didn't do well, I've been putting all my effort into the next cover. I decided on "Panini" by Lil Nas X, since it is a catchy song and he just recently released a video for it! I don't have much to share other than the demo, so I guess I'll leave it at that. Enjoy!
