【MV】Shoujotachi Yo - Tana Nona JKT48V

 

Tana Nona released her new cover of JKT48, "Shoujotachi yo" or "Gadis Remaja" or "Teenage Girl". 

First of all, JKT48 version and AKB48 version is not my cups of tea. I don't feel comfortable to listen to idol-style sing. There is something about thin voices singing unison that sitting not well with me. I haven't tried to explore it well. I think it is because I feel like they were doing Karaoke instead of singing because the unison not quite unison and it screw the balance with the music. Or maybe it feels like those voices are wasted potential that should have been arranged into many sections?

Back to Tana Nona, I feel her voice really enjoyable. Her technique makes me remember the way late singer Dolores of Cranberries. She carries such good emotion using her voice, something that is rare on idol culture.

One critic for me is the way her voice is mixed. I wish the mixer lets her crackling sound. Her breathiness is a bit thin in the song. I know nowadays people are chasing perfect sounding voice. But by trimming the breathiness and crackling sound discounting the emotion that enrich the song.

The more I listen to the song, though, I can see why the mixer wants to cut out the vibration. He didn't really delete all of them, just suppress them but let some in. Maybe he's chasing for a lighter tone for the song.

Hmm....

Yeah, I haven't met a dance song with heavy tone in the singer.

Btw, I think Tana Nona can really shine if she sings "Kagome" or any songwriter song.

STAN vs. UI

Ugh, kasihan banget adek gue. Saking kepinteran dia jadi dapet Akuntansi UI dan STAN. Jadi bingung mau masuk yang mana. Beberapa orang (termasuk orang tua gue), menyarankan masuk STAN. Gue malah memperburuk suasana dengan membela memasuki Akuntansi UI, maklum bela almamater. Duh, gue jadi merasa bersalah bikin dia ragu-ragu. Kira-kira enakan masuk mana, yah? Gue juga gak tahu keuntungan masing-masing. Hasil debat sementara: ~ Untuk jangka panjang masuk UI, untuk jangka pendek STAN. ~~Tapi, dia itu kan cewek, ntar pas menikah kemungkinan besar karir terhambat. Eits, ntar, dulu, sekarang kan jamannya emansipasi, bisa aja cowoknya yang jadi BRT. ~ STAN sarang korupsi, kalo masuk STAN jadi pegawai negeri. Kalo mau kaya harus korupsi. Tapi kalo masuk UI, lulus masuk jadi akuntan publik. Sekarang ini, orang membayar akuntan publik untuk memanipulasi nilai pajak dan aset. *SIGH*. Jadi gak ada yang beres ~ dll. Yah, udah gue jadi bingung, apa lagi dia nanya saran gue. Buah, gue gak pengalaman ...

I Hate Marvel Civil War Storyline In Comic

See this snippets from The Amazing Spiderman: [1] http://scans-daily.dreamwidth.org/4625006.html The snippets on [1] made it clear: Stan Lee made Spidey have a strong believe in Privacy. The comic strips show how Spidey even have to face charges because of his anonymity. The accuser even made many accusation to other entities for political attacks. A fan-art/art I've found in the 90's illustrated Spiderman standing in front of Peter Parker tomb. I don't know if that was originally from comic book or fan-made, 90's are a long time ago. That art mesmerized me and introduced me to the importance of privacy. In late nineties, I was joined to a program hold by an NGO. So, at that time I know how crucial a privacy was (and still is) to humanity. I'm not exaggerating! Humanity would fall to big financial organizations if people could not voice their fears in anonymity. Whistleblowers around the world would not dare to come up. We would not see any suppression ge...
