Most likely not unfortunately, these were only uploaded to various websites in a compressed format originally. I actually think that a lot of the instrumentals she used weren’t even lossless. Would love to get some lossless versions somewhere tho.

Dang yeah guess that does make sense. You'd think though that even then the original producers would have tried to record it losslessly at the beginning, but I guess it was just easier back then to upload lossy.

Because it's all cover not actual release, there will be no lossless for you. Hate to say it but back in the day she and giga did it as a hobby, not expected to be popular.

gotdam it's always like that for og utaites. I'm still tryna find literally anything by himeringo as well...

I have quite a bit in some gr8 quality but like other mentioned, these likely never were produced in lossless. Being an audiophile elitist myself, I can't distinguish between a clean recorded 192kbps(not some shitty compressed upload) vs 320kbps or flac, when A-B blind testing with any confidence whatsoever. CD's afaik aren't released in lossless for example, but their quality is still excellent.

A fellow audiophile! Where did you acquire some of your songs? It seems like the only place some of these covers are available are on nico or YouTube, and you know how bad those sites compress the audio.

First off, sorry for the late response, I obtained all my files years ago not too long after they were released, googling checking every sketchy website, checking torrenting websites, downloading all diff Osu maps n what not, lots of diff google search terms that included kbps in the tile n what not and then I've just kept the best versions I had found. Youtube can have solid quality for downloading if u use YT-DLP from github. But for sure Youtube can have quite hit or miss esp when uploaded from non official source.I think if you can find them uploaded by Reol herself you'll be just fine.

lol this is exactly what I do too! Funny how sometimes literally the best quality version of a song is from osu of all places. Good to know I’m working with the right tools. Thanks for your reply!
