Hatsune Miku Beats Me to Death

6/9/2025

So a few weeks ago, Fitness Boxing feat. Hatsune Miku finally went on sale on the Switch eShop... so I bought it. I'd been wanting to get it for a while, I thought it'd help me actually get into the habit of getting some exercise in... and I was right, I think!

I've had the game for about 3 weeks, and I've been consistently getting at least the daily workout in every Monday and Friday. I know the game wants you to play it daily, but there's no way I have the energy to make it through my 5.5-hour shift on my workdays and then come home to immediately start boxing. I honestly don't even have the energy to make it through work most days, I'm barely standing by the end of my shift, haha...

I've been dealing with some chronic health issues since last March, and that's made getting through a full 8-hour shift pretty much impossible for me, as much as I need the hours. I just get so tired so quickly because of it, I'm hoping getting some light exercise in a couple times a week will help me build my stamina back up, if not to what it used to be, then at least enough to make it through a day without needing multiple naps or sleeping in too long the next day.

Not sure how well it's going on that front, but I've noticed I can work out a little longer each time. The past couple workouts I've been able to do the daily workout and a couple songs in free exercise, when starting out I was barely able to make it through the daily workout. So there's some progress! Though I do always wake up the next couple days feeling like Miku herself just beat the absolute shit out of me.

Kit-Kat's less thrilled about my new hobby, though. Her cat tree's right next to the TV, right in front of the only place I can stand with enough room to work out in this cramped trailer. She keeps screaming and sometimes swatting at me from her tree while I exercise, I had to put her in the bedroom today so I could work out in peace, poor baby. She might just not like the TV, I never really used it much before last month, but I used the TV in our old apartment all the time, so I'm not sure what's changed, other than that it's been a while since we moved here. Or maybe she's just mad that I'm paying more attention to the TV than her.

But I'm hoping that this new exercise... regime? will work out, and that at the very least I'll stop waking up extremely sore for the next 2 days after a workout. Makes it even harder to get through work...

And to close out this entry, Yayorneigh's animation tothe song that the title is referencing, by AmityP. I really think they should add this one to the game...

(Hopefully this works, YouTube hates embedding in Firefox for some reason.)
P.S. I know I've gotten a couple comments on my profile already, thanks! I just can't post or reply to comments at all until my account's a week old. I did see them, I promise.
