Untitled


 A quick poem I wrote. Like this entry's  title says,  It's still untitled.

I'd like to be someone to you
like you have been to me;
I'd like to be the person that
you'll always be glad to see;

I'd like to be the person who
brightens each minute of all your days;
I'd like to show you how much I care
In truly different ways.

I'd like to do the big things and
the special things for you,
And shoo the clouds out of your skies
and leave them only blue;

I'd like to tell you kindly things that
You may not have heard,
And somehow I could raise your soul
the way mine  was stirred.

I'd like to give you back the joy
that you have given me,
And that somehow wish for you
to be happy as can be;

I'd like to show you how I feel as I
who travel on
Unafraid of the darkness with you to
lean upon.

I wish somehow that I could
make you smile everyday
Or share a portion of the gladness that
you've shown me along my way;

And if I could have one wish this year,
that wish would only be:
I'd like to be the sort of friend
that you have been to me.

Piapro; How to Register: A Visual Tutorial

I made this tutorial so some of my friends (who can't read/understand Nihonggo) could register for this site. They really love vocaloid stuff more than I do, so here's to you guys!:D (I love JMusic, that's why I registered in Piapro too) But anyway, on to the tutorial! 


Comment please!^^


Piapro (www.piapro.jp) is a community of creators that distribute content (eg, original songs, and illustrations) on the net for others to see, to collaborate, and create content, aiming to gain a spot in it's "Hall of Creation".

It's actually very much (but not quite) a combination of deviantart + imeem.

Piapro aims to provide a variety of opportunities for artists to demonstrate their creativity and foster a culture.

My Piapro Account
The Account made from this tutorial


I'll try to teach you how to register step by step (Although an account is not really necessary for you to listen to songs/see artworks):




STEP 1:
 First off, click the "Register here" link found at the right hand side under thee log-in box:




STEP 2:
You'll  see the Terms and Conditions page. Basically, what it tells you is that you will  not misuse/abuse the site in any way, and that you will not upload copyrighted stuff in it, and that you are liable for what you upload. click the "I  accept" button.



STEP 3:
A bit more japanese here, but it gets more interesting. Enter your email address in the box and click the button.


STEP 4:
A message has been sent to your email inbox with a  link for you to register. check it out.



STEP 5:
It  should look like this.  Click the link to continue registering



STEP 6:
Now this is more of a challenge.:D
1.  pick your username: 4-24  characters in length, alphanumeric and underscores are only allowed
2. your password. type it twice, once per box
3. your avatar. the first button lets you pick from their avatar library, the second lets you upload one yourself.
4. Year and month of birth. type in your year of birth  (1987 for me)  and month (1  for January, 2 for February, etc.)
5. nickname. the top radio  button says not specified, the bottom one says specified. If you picked the latter, you need to specify a nickname for yourself in the box below, 24  characters  max
6. a description of yourself. It can be left blank
7. gender. "male", "female", "not specified"  (note below it says "gender will not be shown")
Other than the description box, do not leave anything blank.



STEP 7:
If you've entered everything correctly, you will be taken to the confirmation screen. Just click the "next" button if you're satisfied. you can click the "back" button otherwise.  (LEN FTW!XD)
