Countless failures leave Ryujin frustrated and she’s about to throw her phone straight into the wall when she stumble upon the words once again. Tension rest in her jaw, forcing her lips to scrunch together as she stare blankly while the instrumental keep playing in the background– the very sound ot if annoy her so much right now, she glare straight into the recording camera before finally moving to turn it off. Ryujin has been at it for hours already, practicing and trying unsuccessfully to record the cover of Rapmonster’s solo ‘Joke’. 

Her hand lower with the phone, the other reaching up to rub the growing itchiness aronud her eyelids with greater force than she really need and she sigh. It is not the first time that she try learning a difficult rap like this and she certainly will succeed in the end, Ryujin is strangely so impatient that it’s proving to be difficult. She rub her face, and eventually run fingers back and through shoulder length hair like a comb to rid herself with non-existent tangles. Lips begin to move on their own after a few moments of silence, she won’t stop.

Going through the part that she struggle with she try to think one sentence ahead, a teqnicue that usually come naturally to her but that today seem to be the impossible task… until it sits– Ryujin is somehow surprised when the verse actually leave her tongue, as when having eaten popcorn and have got a small piece stuck. You try so hard to get it out that you end up feeling tired, exhausted from using your tongue so much an then suddenly, you get it out. Obviously it isn’t quite the same but the relief that came reminded her of those times.

It’s a long shot attempting to record it so soon after nailing it once, but Ryujin decide to try. It’s better to record everything anyway, just in case she somehow manage to get the perfect shot when practicing. Once again she turn on the camera and start the recording, following by the music and although she is getting tired of the instrumental she has come this far. She cannotgive up now. The intro play through and it sets the vibe, it’s more than long enough to set the mood and once it’s over she spit the words pretending them to be her own.

Ryujin watch her own video on YouTube and can’t help but think back on the aggravating and frustrating moments where she practiced for this particular piece. She is proud of her work, so very proud and incredibly relieved that she is done with it. It will be a long timme until she pick this particular song back up again because right now she is just too fed up with it.
