Monthly Summary: September 2022

Welcome to another Monthly Summary at gamergal.exe! September saw quite a lot of new games being started as well as a fair few completions in preparation for October’s Hallowe’en spotlight!

I decided to start my Hallowe’en gaming slightly early this year which I’m sure you’ll notice later, but before I get too carried away thinking about my favourite time of the year, let’s take a look at what I got up to during September:

Top 15 Vocaloid Songs of 2021

Aside from gaming, my next biggest passion is music with Vocaloid being a massive inspiration and key factor to one of my favourite sub-genres, Utaite. I like to include my favourite new songs each month at the end of my Monthly Summary posts, but considering how much I value music in my day-to-day life, I don’t give it that much attention on the blog.

I was unsure how best to organise these songs as choosing 15 favourites was difficult enough, never mind ranking them individually, so I decided to list them as a timeline progressing throughout the year. I’m still learning Japanese, so I’ve chosen these songs based on their musical qualities rather than for their lyrics. Now let’s get started!
