「 𝐈 𝐍 𝐓 𝐑 𝐎 𝐃 𝐔 𝐂 𝐓 𝐈 𝐎 𝐍 」

Hi guys, this is Ray. Welcome to my final blog

I’ve had this idea for around 2 years, but due to my personal life and Amino’s near-death activity, I felt no rush to make this. But now I’ve reached 5 years on Twice Amino and I’ll be leaving at any time now. Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to finish the entire thing, I recently got into college while simultaneously working so I have very little free time; besides, why would I want to spend it on a dead app? Because I love it. I wasn’t able to make everything I wanted, such as the physical album contents and the theme of the soundtracks, so the blog is coming out half baked. Despite that, I don’t often get to express the stuff I create in my head, and making Amino blogs was one of my ways of doing so during the times I mostly kept to myself

You might’ve read all of that and asked yourself "but Ray, how does any of this relate to the blog?" Well I’m glad you asked, stay tuned for the albums concept lol

P.S: Take a shot everytime I say 'Empire' or 'Kingdom'

「 𝐓 𝐎 𝐏 𝐈 𝐂 𝟢𝟣 — ( album design ) 」

ㅤ

The design obviously relates to the concept of the album. Without getting into spoilers, Tzuyu is put in a very elegant setting to reflect her beauty, along with a more faint, almost reflective dark side

The bright stuff is suppose to overshadow the dark stuff, with Tzuyu taking over half of the screen with a massive flower crown blocking her name in the background, with her castle in the sunlight towering above the clouds to represent her own little kingdom. These 2 main elements of the album are meant to show a sort of perfection, and unstoppable power similar to some old established empires that stood and ruled for hundreds of years. 'Tzuyu' is written in simple black text compared to the colorful background to look like the front cover of a magazine with her as its model

I decided to make the actual album title 'Empress' as a tattoo on Tzuyu’s shoulder, meant to represent her hardships of building up her empire. The main dark elements of the album are a small faded clone of herself, and the sunset background on the left. Both of these symbolize what will happen eventually, the empire will have its downfall. The clone is how Tzuyu will feel during it, and the sunset next to surface level water is the opposite of the castle background; and will mean that no kingdom is left. I tried my best to blend the 2 backgrounds and Tzuyu all together, using PSDs and editing tricks

ㅤ

This part of the blog will talk about the message behind the album, along with its concept that I touched on in the previous section. It all comes together with the simple phrase "all good things must come to an end" No matter how hard we cope, we have to accept the fact that nothing lasts forever. No matter how precious said thing is to us, such as a beloved community we’re apart of, or your favorite group who got mistreated so hard that every member has filed for disbandment

In the case of this album, it’s Tzuyu’s empire that is falling, something that takes years of time and dedication to create and thrive. Why? Nobody knows, about when, why, or how it happened. Tragic events can occur at any time, and that’s why it’s important to cherish every moment you can, even in crisis. As Tzuyu’s castle slowly fades into the sunset, there’s still a sense of big sense of beauty to it even as it meets its last moments

To me, this replicates my story with Twice Amino. A place I grew in during my gross incel teenage years with a community and I grew to love and feel comfortable in. However, it’s coming to an end, and in these moments of creating this blog, I am cherishing it. I am thankful for all of my previous memories and friends I’ve made along the way

TL;DR: All good things come to an end and nothing lasts forever. Cherish every happy moment, memory, and bond that you have, because you never know when it will be gone.

This part will be quick, there are the songs of album and very short descriptions about them! This album will include a lot of song covers due to me rushing the blog, and because Tzuyu really loves pop songs and I think there would be a lot of them she would sing incredibly. Tzuyu’s vocals have been one of her main criticisms since Sixteen, but she has improved a lot since then and I think song covers are a good way of showing that off

﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌

Used in the Empress MV teaser (can’t be asked to make that). A minute of cool sounds

﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌

ㅤ

The title track, a darker elegant song in the similar nature to 'Feel Special'

﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌

ㅤ

A song about Tzuyu’s journey to building up her empire and overcoming all obstacles, a dark rock concept similar to a Dreamcatcher song like 'BOCA'

﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌

ㅤ

A fun song about relaxing if life gets too overwhelming, sounds like 'Red Flavor' by RV

﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌

ㅤ

Idk what Tzuyu’s representative animal is, a quick Google search shows fox but a drawing from Chaeyoung says reindeer? I designed this song around it being a fox

Regardless, this is also a fun song that leads into the sexy side just a bit. Kind of like 'Hot' from Twice

﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌

ㅤ

A cover of 'Lost Time' by Rothy, I like this song and I think she has a good vocal range for it, not much correlation outside of that, stan Rothy

﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌

ㅤ

A cover of 'Dance For You' by Beyoncé, Tzuyu LOVES Beyoncé and she would love to sing this again solo

﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌

ㅤ

A cover of 'Get Right' by Jennifer Lopez, this dumb song got stuck in my head after there was a Twitter clip of the song being 18 years old. Tzuyu is perfect for it

﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌

ㅤ

A ballad song about the moment the empire is falling, and Tzuyu ing her journey and memories of creating it. Sounds like 'Be As One'

﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌

ㅤ

A cover of 'End Of Time' by Beyoncé except solo instead of with Momo and Jihyo. A thematically perfect conclusion to the Empress universe and once again, Tzuyu likes Beyoncé a lot

﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌

Thank you for checking out my blog. This took an INCREDIBLY long time to make, with around 2 years of brainstorming, although this is mainly due to how busy I am. Despite that, making this was a ton of fun and even a bit nostalgic, as I’ve been making fake albums since my early days of Amino. But sadly, this will be my last fake album, and my only other blog will be a final goodbye. It’s been awesome to have a place to create stuff like this where I get to spill out creative juices, since in my early teenage years I had a lot of trouble expressing that to others irl. But as for theming of this blog, all things must come to an end, and this is the end of my fake album creations

Ray, g off
