「MV」mumei

I didn't realize that I haven't review this song when this song already on my common playlist. Yes. This song deserves as a song, not the vtuber song, the real artist song. It is up there in my playlist among other songs. I can only have three in my mind of vtuber original songs that top can be in that playlist: The OG song by Suisei, Stellar Stellar. This song really made the vtuber music on the chart of being a serious songs, not just that Idol-wannabe songs. Moona's High Tide. A good song with rich production specialty of K-Pop with Japanese sensibility and the dance that changed Hololive direction back to Yagoo's dream. LOL. The piano arpeggio really reminds me of Last Night Tonight by KZ Livetune. It really evokes the dreamlike and longing inside. However, the dynamics in the song in the EDM-type of song really made this 4:15 songs feels like a story not repetitive. TKN really knows his stuff. He compose the song with Mumei's voice as instrument and also play...

Gosling'ed

This 26 seconds long video was titled "Lapwing - Face Tracking Add on" is a demonstration of a VRChat plugin. This plugin was used for face tracking. It was created by a French guy. The guy demonstrated the plugin with a girl character named Lapwing. The problem with this demonstration was the expressions generated were so lovely. She evokes cute girlfriend experience. Making people longing for her. Thus, online people felt lost because the short period of this video. Felt like being left lonely for a nonexistant girlfriend. Like Ryan Gosling character in Bladerunner 2049.     

Gawr Gura Graduation

Gawr Gura will graduating from Hololive. People make jokes that 4chan went down because of this graduation. Well, it's a running joke that Gawr Gura usually makes an appearance when something is gonna happen. We joked she streamed on the same time as Niji events. Anyway, the graduation is a foregone conclusion. She rarely streamed. It seems because of her popularity, may be, she is being kept by Cover to stay. It's already five years and it's also a good time for someone moving on from one job to the other. The kayfabe maybe making fans upset and sad. However, looking from job perspective, it's a normal time. I mean 5 year is a long time for working in a company. So, let's get real here. We have the pattern here that the US-based Hololive EN girls are getting graduations. Yagoo said that Cover wants to build an office in the US. This office seems related to business prospect and not the vtuber studio. So, I think it's understandable that the girls having issue...

MAGA Plan First Phase: Tariff War

I have wondered why Warren Buffet took his shares from BYD. And my thinking is that he is an American who loves his country. The escalation of current tariff war between China and the war on Ukraine really makes many American business men in a tough position. And now, we see the tariff war stretched out to the whole world including all of the US allies. A video by Money and Marco defined it better: This war on tariff was actually a first stage of a plan, MAGA plan. Scott Bessent, the current Trump economic advisor was writing the essay about it in The Economist article. You see, the US has made Bretton Woods system  and made currency exchange based on US dollar. To help the world and to leverage US positions, the US put incentive using Marshall Plan . To help the devastated world post-WW2, the US open its market to imports while allowing the said countries  This is okay, because all the world were in low economy status. US needed them to be grown at the level where US could e...

【MV】HELP!! - Kobo Kanaeru

It has been a year this music published on YouTube. This song is a breakthrough song for Kobo. Here's what I think what's great about this song: Groovy bass line with minimalistic drum sets this song as a vocal-based song. You must be blessed with great vocal to compansate this and Kobo nailed it. The long take of melodies sung by Kobo really sets her apart. Her long breath really shines in this. The legato and the right nuggets here and there. The effect, long space of delayed sound, really makes a room and subtly let listener rests for a while. Natori backing vocal fills the void of bassline in vocal. His laidback vocal arrangements integrates well with Kobo's techniques. I don't know why the obsession of Japanese musician with Mathrock arrangements. It would be great at first, but will make them generic overtime. This kind of straighforward music is what they really need. Natori really brings the new old stuff with Japanese sense. Looking forward for his music also.

MV【Break It Down】/ Vestia Zeta

Her soft voice really mixed in well in the song. It has a fuller production than the typical ID songs. It has a nice composition. The song would go to my repeated playlist.

サカナクション / 怪獣 -Music Video-

As someone working for bringing goodness in this corrupted world, this song MV is really so relatable. Especially when everyday is against the next generation and you want to make a difference. There is a probability for people to witchhunt you because you are trying to do something out of norm. People who you want to protect are actually people that can turn their back against you. Sad, how people can be blinded by provocation. The progress halted because they burn the bridges that they should have crossed. And they stay there, poor and miserable. What would you do? Be that agent of change, or just going with the flow? If you want to be spiritual, Jesus nailed to the cross because he wanted to be an agent of change. So, yeah, being a rebel against all odds is actually biblical.  If you want to say leftist, Jesus was the very definition of leftist. He was against the status quo. He introduced laws that were not in line with the power hierarchy. He democratized saving grace and cond...
