No. I don’t have anywhere near the technological acumen necessary to pull that off.

Dear Perfumaniacs:

PERFUME'S NEWEST SINGLE DROPPED FOUR DAYS AGO! It's quite experimental. I'd describe it as 70s disco meets vocaloid. . . a very rare combination by anyone's standards.

Thank you for sharing that experience. I'm happy for you that it proved to be such a highlight in your life! I imagine I would have felt much the same way at a Pentatonix concert or an Itzhak Perlman concert. I wish you had been selected to translate for them at the concert, and I hope you some day get that opportunity. I'm sure that would really send you over the moon! That probably couldn't happen to a more deserving guy than you!

Though I have little doubt that you would probably love them for their musical abilities and talent alone, I wonder how much your understanding of the Japanese language and culture, and knowing what they are singing about, is a factor in how much you appreciate them?
No precept or claim is more suspect or more likely to be false than one that can only be supported by invoking the claim of Divine authority for it--no matter who or what claims such authority.

As a middle age white dude I never understood the popularity of Asian pop bands til a few years ago. The two I went to was BTS. I was chaperoning 5 girls under the age of 17. I thought, ok, it's going to be a lot of young girls and chaperones in the audience. Nope! I was wrong. People of all ages love Asian pop bands. There was even Grandma's enjoying the concert. I also had fun! As a metal head, I personally can't stand k pop, but, while in the car I rather listen to k pop instead of country music, country music makes me want to vomit😂😂. My wife gets mad because she loves country music.

My favorite kind of music is classical music, but jazz is a close second. I have found, though, that most music genres have examples of both excellent and bad music. I enjoy hearing and appreciate creative and skillful musicianship in almost every genre -- even country and western music.

I don't mind classic country. But the new stuff gets on my nerves. I like classical, couple months ago I started listening to Elaine Paige.
