KIVΛ You're my favorite artist in this franchise, and there are some great choices so its nothing said without thought over these long years. Qualia is definitive Cytus, your songs tend to make Cytus seem otherworldly and approachable, and whomever is doing your charts gets you completely (Sadly, not in Voez but moving on... he he...) Long story short, you're my Rhythm Hero. Hopefully that sounds as cool to you as it did before I wrote it. I'm committing to the truth.
James Landino Favorite track in the game. Well done. Is there a fuller or longer version for purchase anywhere? Love playing the song but want to add it to my life soundtrack and it's a bit shorter than it deserves against album music. Thank you for your hard work you two!
Nikki Simmons Is there a longer version I can buy? It's a beautiful song but it's too short. Perfect for the game but I hate having to keep hitting repeat every 2 minutes. Could you make an extended mix for Amazon or something? I'd definitely buy.
Awesome, that was easily one of my favorite tracks in the whole game! I'm so curious how they decided which artists to reach out to and how they went about it.
Wow thank you so much!! Honestly, I feel like I got very lucky when I was selected to be a part of this. Kevin Penkin, who composed MANY songs for the game contacted me through my "business" (lol) email and asked if I would be interested in singing on some of his songs. I'd never really done anything like this before but I've been a session singer for other artists in the past so I'm guessing that's how he found me?
Sounds like you had fun singing the songs. Just a pro tip that the timing is kept by the Judgement Line that moves up and down. Keep your eye on it, and you should do fine. :)
Ooof. If I can give a little advice if you get back into it, each segment of the song focuses on a certain part: an instrument or the vocals. Going through it the first time will let you find that part, then the second time is listening closely for the part it's in tune with. It often isn't the vocals, so I would be careful singing along again. Hope I can help!
Honestly one of the most impressive vocalists out of all the songs in Cytus 1 AND 2. Congrats, Nikki, your song's already become a huge fan-favorite! :D
Why do I feel the need to bawl in tears every time I hear this track? Every time I feel that sadness that I can express, this is one of the tracks on the game that I run to. 🥺🥺🥺
I totally agree!! when I have it handheld, it's a bit easier for me, but it was kind of a weird angle to film it, so I definitely sacrificed some gaming skillz to get a good shot. or at least that's the excuse I'm gonna go with......;)
Hi Nikki! I'm glad to knowing you thanks to Cytus 2 😄 I'm the italian champion of Rayark's music games (including Cytus), and I loved your songs so much 😉 Greetings from Italy! 🇮🇹
I fell in love with this track the moment I heard the preview on the selection screen. Great job to you for the amazing vocals and the artist(s) who did the remix.
This was so fun to watch! For some reason I thought you'd be an expert but I guess I should have expected otherwise... not many gamers are also amazing singers ahaha! Love your music though! Absolutely one of the highlights of this game!
I'm Cytus 2 Fan from Thailand. Your Song is 1 of the most favorite song i have to play when i open this game. Nice to know you and waiting your new song.
Omg you truly have a lovely voice and awesome personality too ahh >.< can’t to watch more of your videos now haha :D also just keep practicing the game if you want to keep playing I sucked at first but now a few days later with practice I think I got a hang of it I believe in ya! :)
Wow, I can't believe it was you that sung this song! I'am thoroughly impressed; this song has been stuck in my head ever since I played it for the first time!
uhhhh its so nice to hear such an awesome unique voice!!!!!! I love to sing with you but its hard haha. This song is amazing and it stays on my iPad for good!
Could you maybe make a storytime video of what the experince was like making some of the music in cytus ii. Cytus ii is one of my favourite rhythm games and i like to listen it becuase it has a great soundtrack
WOKE UP TODAY...this song was stuck in my head, but problem is, i remembered the beat but not the lyrics....now after i listened to it like 10 times...it is just a part of my day :) great song, ur voice is amazing and the remix is awesome....
Hope you know, far as I'm concerned you are the flagship artist for a game franchise people wear out over the years like good vinyl, its a game one plays forever, and your voice is its chosen siren call. Its a hard act to follow. Welcome to the fond memories of millions. Keep practicing, it's super rewarding feeling the entirety of a song with your eyes, ears and touch. Nothing else quite like outside of creating it yourself, and even then, Cytus goes farther by letting you touch the voices singing through you. It sticks with you feeling a voice like yours with ones own hands, just need to reach for it.
Hey, Nikki, If they ever made Cytus into a show, (which is my FAVORITE game to play ALL DAY!!) would you be willing to do the song vocals for when PAFF performs on stage?
So this month Cytus II is free, I dowload it yesterday and this song make me fall in love your voice and the drop part. I goosebumps! I love you!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
No way, is this "the real Nikki Simmons?" If it's a yes, as a skilled Cytus player since early June, I wanna say I'm in love with your music! P.S: Your voice suits PAFF/ Aroma White's persona really well!
This is like, my 3rd or 2nd most played song on this game... Especially on their lunatic mode, forget what they call the hardest mode... Pro tip, play the songs by the beats and synths and not by the singing, since the chart divides everything by that... Regardless, great job on the song, it has this really chill vibe with some really nice vocals powering it up
I saw cassually earlier the preview of this video, but i never tought you would be the vocalist of "Bullet Waiting for Me", you did a great job in the song, i already cleared it with Million Master, i enjoyed it a lot. Greetings from Mexico.

Nikki Simmons Please do! I love this game and your voice equally!
yes yes yes yes
thank you!!
This video remember me at my first time playing cytus.
It would be fun to see more artists watch their songs play.
Oh yes please !
Listening to your voice is one of the most enjoyable thing when I produce this game. : )
I am so honored to be a part of it! thank you
KIVΛ why don't u make a gameplay too lol

It was a little hard to find your songs in the game, i didn't expect some of them to be unlockeable, You did a nice work as always, i admire you.
0:42 "how hard could hard be"
Famous last words :P
hahahaha you're right.
It's actually easy for me
@@nakubro its easy for most if u play the game
@@bri4606 Yeah I tried to make someone else do it and easy can make then struggle.
Your vocals were so dope -- I had so much fun remixing the track
thank you!!! you really made it what it is.
James Landino Favorite track in the game. Well done. Is there a fuller or longer version for purchase anywhere? Love playing the song but want to add it to my life soundtrack and it's a bit shorter than it deserves against album music. Thank you for your hard work you two!

Instantly fell in love with the song
Search on youtube
Found this video and realize you sang in this song
I subscribe
You basically made PAFF an enjoyable character thx so much! Just tap with the beat you’ll get better
thank you!!!
Agree!
Awesome, that was easily one of my favorite tracks in the whole game! I'm so curious how they decided which artists to reach out to and how they went about it.
Wow thank you so much!! Honestly, I feel like I got very lucky when I was selected to be a part of this.

Nikki Simmons That's awesome!
Singing skills TP100
gaming skills 000000
MILLION MASTER
Cool!
Ofc
That track was stuck in my head the whole day after I played it. Well done!
Sounds like you had fun singing the songs.
Just a pro tip that the timing is kept by the Judgement Line that moves up and down. Keep your eye on it, and you should do fine. :)
it was such a fun experience!! and thank you for the tip!
Me: I'm having such a hard time on Chaos mode!
IRL PAFF: You got past hard?
Wish you luck in your gaming ventures.
hahahaha
Glad you like the joke! I hope we'll be seeing you play Perspectives soon enough! Maybe you've improved, Ms. White?
DonnieGaming if I can be totally honest with you, making this video was the only time I ever played hahaha
Ooof. If I can give a little advice if you get back into it, each segment of the song focuses on a certain part: an instrument or the vocals. Going through it the first time will let you find that part, then the second time is listening closely for the part it's in tune with.

Oh wow yeah that makes a lot more sense.
Honestly one of the most impressive vocalists out of all the songs in Cytus 1 AND 2. Congrats, Nikki, your song's already become a huge fan-favorite! :D
wow such nice words! thank you so much!!
The Most favorite song of PAFF song pack
thanks!!
\PAFF/\PAFF/\PAFF/
Your fireflies one is beautiful too!
Never thought i see the real singer of this song. The song is nice but i like baptism of fire more
I love that song too!
did you sing baptism of fire?
No, louise penman did.
Me too
\PAFF/\PAFF/\PAFF/
this has been my favorite song forever. such nice vocals the beat is amazing and the chart feels great! this was one of my first favorites on cytus 2
So you are the famous PAFF. You're voice is good for dj collabs. Maybe try with marshmello, said the sky and many more. Btw great voice. Keep it up ;)
god I would love to work with Marshmello. dream come true.
Nikki Simmons why not message him. Or better yet I'll help make this come true :) Ftw lets make this happen :D
Nikki Simmons done messaging all his officials hehehehe :)
wow did you really!!
Nikki Simmons yeah i did :)
Why do I feel the need to bawl in tears every time I hear this track? Every time I feel that sadness that I can express, this is one of the tracks on the game that I run to. 🥺🥺🥺
♥️♥️ bullet waiting for me was my favorite
\PAFF/\PAFF/\PAFF/
My favorite song in the game! Awesome video. 👍👍👍
this is the most addictive song ever. i love it. thanks so much! your voice is making love to this beat. im totally sold. absolute favorite song!
One of my favourite PAFF songs to play! Huge thanks to Kevin Penkin, James Landino and of course you! 👍
And gaming tip, I think it’s best to play Cytus flat on the surface to ensure that you easily touch the notes
I totally agree!! when I have it handheld, it's a bit easier for me, but it was kind of a weird angle to film it, so I definitely sacrificed some gaming skillz to get a good shot. or at least that's the excuse I'm gonna go with......;)
\PAFF/\PAFF/\PAFF/
That’s the face of this awesome vocals I’m listen, thank for your songs 👍
Your'e voice is so beautiful! I can't get enough of this song. Thank you for taking part in my favourite game :)

Hell yeah Nikki, killing the game! Literally and figuratively. Cheers!

It's 2023 and I visit the real singer of the song I played for years for the first time. And I really like it.

As a player, I would like to thank you for being part of the creation of Cytus II. Now I have more songs to play! :D
as an artist, I would like to say THANK YOU for playing
Hey, Nikki, If they ever made Cytus into a show, (which is my FAVORITE game to play ALL DAY!!) would you be willing to do the song vocals for when PAFF performs on stage?
Great to hear insight about your experience while you play.
So this month Cytus II is free, I dowload it yesterday and this song make me fall in love your voice and the drop part. I goosebumps! I love you!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Great video! Stoked to see you're back at it. Great song too

Oh my gosh, your voice is SUCH GOOD
This is my favorite song in cytus2.
I always play this song when I open cytus2.
I really like "bullet waiting for me" as well
thank you!
BULL.....LET......WAIT..TING.FOR ME!!!! 😍😍😍
Woah, cool to see the person that sang the song and then watching them play it
I saw cassually earlier the preview of this video, but i never tought you would be the vocalist of "Bullet Waiting for Me", you did a great job in the song, i already cleared it with Million Master, i enjoyed it a lot.
Greetings from Mexico.
thank you so much!
Your voice is beautiful! Bullet Waiting for Me is one of the first songs I fell in love with in Cytus 2 :D
thank you!!
Bullet Waiting for Me, Gravity, and Baptism of Fire are 3 of my favorites
Gravity!!!!!
She is as gorgeous as her voice!
Also 700,000 is the passing point for all the songs so as long as you get that you can pass.
I love this song is my favorite
I instantly loved this song the first time playing it.
This is the first time I've ever seen someone playing a video game poorly be this much fun.
