Kobo Kanaeru - Everything Goes On

  This song originally sung by Porter Robinson . He used heavy stylized voice typical for the EDM song. Kobo Kanaeru, however, take a different approach by using natural voice. This song plays at its strongest using piano rift and I think this is right on the alley of Redshift, the music producer of this Kobo Kanaeru rendition. I can feel the KZ livetune rift on Last Night Tonight   appearing in this music video. Well, Redshift was one of the oldest Vocaloid producer from Indonesia. I think the existence of Vocaloid nuggets on their song is a natural progression. At the first hearing, I am a little disappointed on Kobo at 2:52 when it was supposed to be the climax. She seems a little bit struggling when trying to do power notes. I wish the song could have been stylized or modulated to higher note. Either way, the song should have been a bit more powerful if we get that part. I think the payoff is too weak. However, I can see this as a "Viva La Vida" type of music. Really cool...

JKT48v - Punkish, A True Punk Song

This is the first generation of JKT48 Virtual division. A controversial move from JKT48 team to refresh its value in the entertainment industry. Their hardcore fans always dissing the VTuber industry as a whole. They kept defending their oshi and the realness part of them. But now this happens.... Oh, boy, there is nothing real in the entertainment industry. It's all just roleplaying even if the person is real. Anyway, we don't go there for now. The Controversy I can see some 48 fans flaming their disappointment in the chat. They still can't accept this reality. They are still waiting for the original songs for JKT48. Something that they were promised years ago. Unfortunately for them, the music entertainment industry is already changing. CD is no longer available option. We see many CD distributors like Disc Tarra have falling down. Even food franchises like KFC are no longer actively selling the CDs. It's all online now. Online streaming like Spotify is not viable for...

What Heart can Do

A cheerful heart is good medicine, but a crushed spirit dries up the bones.   -- Proverbs 17:22, NIV My father's health is deteriorating after his 70th birthday. I think he's thinking of passing away. His thought is being influence by the Psalm 90:10, NIV: Our days may come to seventy years, or eighty, if our strength endures;   yet the best of them are but trouble and sorrow,  for they quickly pass, and we fly away. This dark feeling of Psalmist seems thinking that a man life is only for 70 years or up to 80 years. So, a man more than 70 should be an empty shell. I think this is a  contradictory! God never said that. He only limits human to 100 years. Is there something wrong with this text? So, I tried to see what the essay said about this text. According to essay by Pinker, the passage might get mistranslated slightly. According to his analysis, it should be interpreted as such: The years in which we have strength are about seventy (or, when particularl...
