Q: then why didn't you make it until 2018?
A: actually i made most of it near the end of 2017, and the reason i didn't make it in 2012 is because i was busy writing more songs. the reason i didn't do it in 2013 is because i was still writing more songs and doing some video production experiments and working on building a website. i didn't do it in 2014 because i launched a 5-day-per-week release schedule that never would have allowed for a full length song+video. i didn't do it in 2015 because i did 'crazy/raining' and 'free to' instead, while also keeping a steady schedule of short videos and near the end of the year doing history of japan. i didn't do it in 2016 because i was making the reality section and making all the clips for 2010-2016, then i launched sequence of increasing length videos and when i got up to full length songs i chose 'day goes on' and 'hallelujah' but then actually switched to a huge history video before even those got produced, then i spent a whole year doing that, then soon after in 2017 it was time to do songs. and the reason i didn't do it in june 2017 was because i chose 4 other songs instead, and the reason i didn't do it in july is because i did "hi i'm steve" instead, and the reason i didn't do it in august/september is because i chose 'movie star' and 'outside' instead, and the reason i didn't do it in early october is because i chose 'soap tips' instead.
