:: JP Kurang Kerjaan ::

This "I I I" cover version as the last gift from Kanata of Hololive before she graduated. It is a reinterpretation from the OG version by Marine and Kobo of Hololive.  This is a good vocal group song, IMHO. Uncle Dad (Mori) has becomes the anchor of the rapping.  Liz also put restrainst on her voice blend well with others and her adlibs here and there is icing to the cake. Risu is playing well here with Kanata. I guess the Bansaka incident really because of the bad coordination. Her voice blends well with Kanata here.  Niko being Niko. She's using her best voice here. Kanata herself is not that dominant here. I guess this is like a story of a senior letting their junior shine? But, man, her voice is good here. I hope she gets well. She is one of the JP branch singer that I listen to. Regarding Risu, I know I'm a bit bias here, but I felt that HoloID usually played the part of setting their voice according to their counterpart. Bansaka feels like Risu not support her ...

  I have a soft spot for 80s pop. I really like them singing this song. I wish in 0:41 they split their voice instead using a unison. They did it all over the song making this song a little bit boring. But, hey, I like to listen to this song so I put my review on this.

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...

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.

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.

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...

I like this song. There I say it before further comments. When I was listening to this song, I thought this would be a Kiara song! The music, the chord progression, and the melody is so Kiara. And then when I looked at the description, it makes sense. The same team who produced Kiara's MIRAGE was handling this song. It's a good song, but this is not what Anya Melfissa song should be. At least that is my deepest thought. This is my personal opinion and I respect the reality. LOL. I have a crush to Anya's voice. I was her voice fan since her Phony cover.  Her nasal voice and the legato comes with it really makes her special. Sure, she would be a genre and not all pop songs for her. However, for that kind of song, she even beat Suisei. I think the best producer for her should be a trance or EDM producer like YUC'e. The local producer probably REDSHiFT and Mardial. It's on her genmate's link. The last Everlasting Knife   雄之助  also has the good sense.  I don't k...

  Why an international brand like JKT48 produced a Karaoke-like MIDI music?

  The lyrics are not my favorite. It's more than innuendo, feels like literally a horny thought. But, what I respect from this song is that they mixed Dancehall, especially Downbeat Reggeaton with Koplo. It's a good exploration to introduce a new music in the Indonesia musicscape. The trap beat and the typical dancehall stylized vocal really mixed well together with the song. I wonder why after these years of dancehall dominance, Indonesia just produce this kind of music? 

  Risu made a tweet addressing some of the jab at her career choices in Hololive. The jab was made by people from VTuber shitposting forum in Facebook. I guess the voices make her a little bit uncomfortable so she made the statement in the Twitter. The tweet basically said that she wasn't chosen. Also, as we who followed her would know, she is a sandwitch generation. She paid for her family. It shackled her for investing to her career. I don't want to comment on personal matter as the life of her is her own choices and dilemma. I don't know about her circumstances. I would like to comment from the musical side. I want to comment on why she wasn't picked from my personal view. Let's talk about the singing. Risu chose to have duality on her singing. Although this is a gift, this is not usual in the POP world. Because of that, she did not have a singing guide. She need to learn herself for that. That's why I understand why Studi Suara felt confused when she suddenl...

  I really like this version more than the original. The producer patched the music making it more wholly produced. I also like how it was designed more towards K-Pop. What I don't like about the original was the vocal. Kiara has the voice like Kylie Minogue. But, the original sound made the sound distribution uneven. P-san made voice register in the mid-to-high frequency. With the original song towards that sound, I felt like Kiara's voice like nagging. Thankfully, P-san panning the sound more, spreading the sound left and right, making it a full ambience. Kiara now sound more like a musical instrument. My ears can accept her vocal. I am the proponent of vocal diversity. I love world music. Sonically, I think Kiara has that unique tone and as a producer, it comes with the challenge how to compose good music using that unique vocal. In the Korean version, P-san really brings out the vocal more. I wish they could add more layers. But, this is okay because I really do like Do U. ...

  Imagine Dragons made many versions of their new song "Take Me to The Beach". They collab with other artists in different languages based on the collabing artist. The one that get off the ground is the collab with Ado . Some people said the collab probably because of Party Like a Rockstar Podcast showed Ado performance to Jim Runge. With the advent of vtubing industry, Japanese entertainment industry now on the projection of rising up again. Previously, their Copyright law and the CD/DVD/Blueray industry made them lazy. They rather stuck to their domestic market and never considered to cater to international market. That was when K-Pop took over the reign from the Japanese. Don't get me wrong. I like Japanese music. Most of us in the 90s were anime lover. Myself have a favorite anime, the original Macross. I love the show and their takes on war and culture. What an eye opening anime. Macross really shown a different side of imperialism. You don't conquer your enemie...

  I think this is one of the cover song that bested the OG songs. The two original songs: and  are good songs. But, the cover mixes more hard and the rap is more nuance than the OG songs. Btw, OG is a good song also. Farhan Sarasin as the instrumentalist goes hard to make the song like the legendary Doom Eternal OST, Mick Gordon's "The Only Thing They Fear is You"  which to me elevates the song hard. The song composition feels like the early Nu Metal sound of Korn, Limp Bizkit, and Linkin Park, which makes it sounds familiar. The OG songs plays a little bit softer which to me a little bit off. I don't know, may be I just being used to listen to hard core electric music stuffs. One thing that stands out, Calli and Reine has the better style in rapping than the original. The original feels like a white rapper, sorry for the derogatary words in rap. Well, they all ain't black, but Calli and Reine rap has better sounding than the original. I don't want to bash the...

If you asked me about the song that would be almost on par with Suise's "Stellar Stellar", this song is my pick. The style of Multiverse song is the reminiscent of fashion music. It would reminds me of any Apple ads. It reeks of confidence, something that would be casually played at the cat walk. My first hurdle to not put it as "the" song as a song, not a gimmick song sung by a VTuber persona is actually Moona's Japanese pronounciation. It would take me out from the song. I need to replay this song over and over just to get used to her dialects. However, the singing, the music, and the composing are top bangers! The only problem for me is the production need to be cranked up. I feel like the sound is a little bit clustered in the mid. Need a little bit panned.  I don't know if the issue is on the 1080p Premium YouTube video? Or, may be my headphone? Or, may be my 40+ years old ears that have deteriorated? So, I need to take EDM-esque songs in YouTube a...

  The song is about how we fight for the better world and winning the battle inside of our mind. The most respect for me is coming from a line: ... And so we pray we'll be singing Baraye... Baraye is a song about women's right. No, it's a song about extreme feminism. It's a song about to view a women as humane as a man. I didn't know the song nor the history behind it. Reading through the Internet I was fascinated by it. It's amazing how Coldplay can attract the world to the issue just by that one line. This makes me respect Coldplay more.

  From all of the three members of the JKT48V, Kana is the least member I watched. I didn't even know about her stream and stuff. However, this song is really the most impressive song out of the three of them in the term of the vocal. The vocal sound is very humane which goes well with me. I saw Sagi as the vocal director. No wonder it has the best vocal harmony. It gives its own flavor, a different flavor from the original JKT48. I kind of like it. But, the mixing is pale in comparison. I don't see any instrumentalist in the credits. Hmm... seems she was using the same music as AKB48 and JKT48 version. Too bad, IMHO. I have a dream, someday my ATH M50 headphone can be used. It was retired since Disc Tarra and Pondok Pujian shutted down. I have no source of good music and since Covid-19, I can no longer asked my friends who travels to Japan for buying me a CD. Kana with this kind of Acid Trance music really a good mix and the song really-really making me hope for good music. ...

  Pia Meraleo of JKT48V released a cover song, "Hello you, hello me". It's a catchy song and I like how Pia sung the song. I have some notes about it. It's a catchy song with good instruments. Kinda like a happy-go-lucky Gospel song. Rather than making melodyne vocals, I wish Pia uses her voice to make the backing vocals. The rap part doesn't makes any sense, should have been rewritten to make sense. Pia has a unique vocal, I wish they not overly compress it. Let its features shine. Lol.

  Belalang Yang Membangkang is the new song from JKT48 sung by their trainees. It is a song told from two perspectives, the parents who want their child grow to be a respectable person and the children who feel pressured because of the high expectation. Why I talked about this song? I kind of like how their song is different from the original AKB48 song . The original song is a synth wave song while this one is more into the hard rock. But, I think this song is really more to a vocaloid style. The unnatural chop feels like it was designed to be sung by a vocaloid like Ren or Miku. The video clip reminds me of OK GO - I won't let you own MV. That is one of my fave song and MV! No wonder I like this MV, lol.   Honestly, I don't like falsetto vocals these days on the song. I wish they sung with open vocal, at least for this type of song is proper to sing imbroglio, you know like Chumbawamba. Just try to push your vocal out to sing this emotional song, especially in the par...

  God can makes miracle. Jesus can walk on water. He can turns water into wine. He can makes the limp walks.  To me, those are not miracles. Those are not of my world. Sorry, but can I relate if that's not something happening in my life? Don't worry, I'm a believer now. You are the convincing reason that makes me believe that God's exists. I have a shoulder to lean on and I believe this is a miracle. When the world caved in on me, you are the thing that God shown what's a save refuge is. When people have their interests. Mine also the same. As such, you are the prove that God's love is real. You stands with me. I can wage the wars on the world. I am taking arms for fighting the better future. My eyes have return their colors. I now believe there is tomorrow. Thank you.

  We found and we lost. We smile and cry, we laugh it all the way. Nobody knows how you meant to me and me to you. At least that was what I know.  Now you have gone. I wish I can do things that you asked me to. But, to whom should I prove? You are already gone, graduated from this life. And I am the lost one here weeping. No one understands, no one care.  I don't blame them, they have their own pain and lost. The pain and misery is not exclusively mine. Not even the new person tried to understand. They jealous the memory of you. They want to override it. They want me to empty the space and put them there instead of you.  I am not alone. All of them also have that space that is reserved for their lost one. But why they insists on others?  Why can't they forgive me for they also don't let their space vacant? Yes, we all have that space in that little heart of us where we can't remove. Yeah, that's why trauma don't go away easily.  Can we delete it? Yes. We ca...
