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...

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...

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.
