THE GREATEST ANIME OF ALL TIME IS HERE!!!!!!!! IKZ!!!!!!!! ;). Peak anime indeed. See, it's things like this that makes Aikatsu so great. :). 5/27/24 - 5 years from now, I'll make Aikatsu! the most popular anime. :). Peak. ;). Oh, btw, her dad responded with A, Ichigo nara kitto. Which basically means "Yeah, if it's Ichigo, then for sure." At least that's what my weeb instincts tell me. Basically, the translation is good, but it kinda sucks hearing the difference in subtitles and Japanese, like I hear Ichigo's name but I don't see her name in the subtitles. But the problem with my own weeb translation is that it wouldn't be able to be read fast enough till the voice line finishes. Like sure, subtitles can perhaps go longer than the voice line but like... that wouldn't feel that smooth at all. So yeah, I think that subtitle is great here. Though... What if it was "Yeah, Ichigo can surely do it."? Hm... Why would he refer to her in 3rd person in the English subtitles though? Like it sounds weird when you refer to someone in 3rd person in English, so "you" is used instead. Yeah. Though yeah, I can see why some other people would rather have it in 3rd person to be faithful to the original but alas, just enjoy life. 5/28/24 - Yuka Ootsubo She voiced Toshinou Kyouko. 'nuff said. Found her through HaNaYaMaTa. Wait, she voiced Kitakami? Searched on YouTube and Kitakami and Ooi? Also they have similar voices, who voiced Ooi? ALSO YUKA OOTSUBO?!?!?! EH?!!!!! You can do that?! Hahahahahaha. I think they're have same voice :/ XD.Finished watching some clips of Kitakami x Ooichi and remembered how I shipped them back then. Right, it's a Yuri anime. It's all about them ships. Literally and figuratively hahahahahaha. I might re-watch just to have a fun shipfest, like hm... :). But yeah, Haiyore! Nyaruko-san huh... I remember not liking it while watching it back then but perhaps I should try again now. I'll probably like Nyaruko's antics :). Oh, and also, she voiced Latte from Moe Chronicles. :). 5/28/24 - HaNaYaMaTa Episode 1 Naru said: I-I don't get it. It's not as if everyone has something they love, like you. Some people are just empty like me. So... Hana said: You have a lot of fun to look forward to, then. Naru said: Eh? Hana said: See, "empty" just means you have room to take all kinds of things. Fun things, precious things, painful things, things you've never seen before. Naru said: B-But... Hana said: Dai-dai-daijoubu! Didn't I tell you? Anyone can be dazzling if they try hard enough. Naru said: (cries) I did... I did have fun. When I danced with you. Peak. 5/29/24 - Saga-ken wo Meguru Animation (2017) Episode 1 ;) Ah, and MAL says that there are 4 episodes but I only see 2 episodes here...? Hm. Also considered a movie? Perhaps episode 2 is compiled all the next 3 episodes? Or perhaps I have to search for them more? Hm. Oh well, I'll try to find them. ^ Turns out that there's one for 2016 and another for 2017. 2 episodes each. So in terms of MAL, the first episode of 2017 would be episode 3. Oh, and I found out by realizing that the English title is a separate entry for 2016. Neat. But yeah, wasn't that interested in the rest of the episodes but it's cool that I can hear the voices of seiyuu's that I recognize. Nao Touyama for example. :). But yeah, that third episode was nice. :). Yeah, it's funny seeing these mixed discussions where people are talking about different episodes in the same forum topic. Like lol. But yeah, episode 3, or episode 1 of 2017 made an impact on people, including me, so that's nice to know. ;). 5/30/24 - Yachigusa Momoko-sensei Yachigusa Momoko-sensei said: Say, why do you think birds fly? Tsubasa Kisaragi said: Because... they have wings> Yachigusa Momoko-sensei said: Woooo! She's super cool! She has no character entry though... Oh? Add character? Ayooooo. Let's do this. On the quest to favorite Yachigusa Momoko-sensei on MAL, woooooo! Because they have the will to fly. The thing about being an actress isn't that you compete with others. You face and fight yourself. Since there are no right answers in acting, you'll never run out of worries. Even so, never giving up the chase for your own answer is how we spread our wings and fly. That is the way of the Bird Theater Class. Message Sent from MyAnimeList AYOOOOOOOOO!!!! We did it. Woooo! Thank you mods. :D. I'm happy now. :). Though speaking of which... That was like 2 or 3 hours after I asked for permission. Which is like... Wow, nice. I was actually expecting more of like 2 or 3 weeks since the threads have said so but nvm, it seems like there are not that many characters to track right now. Cool. Anyways, life's great. :). Ty mods. Lol, imagine if I became a mod myself. Helping out with the database here and there. Manga database... Oh no. XD. There are like 57k entries. Actually, that was back then, who knows how many entries there are right now. Yabe lol. Anyways, enjoy Aikatsu!, woooo!Yesterday, 1:35 PM Character Submission Approved for MyAnimeList.net This is an automated message from the MyAnimeList Team. Your submission for Momoko, Yachigusa has been approved by a moderator. Ah, just realized she has no seiyuu involved. I thought that was up to the mods since there was no option given. Perhaps I should have added it in the biography. Like a note below the source. Oh well. Ah, her seiyuu is Eimi Okada. Oh, she voiced the announcer from Virtue's Last Reward? Yeah, I didn't expect someone to out sound effects there lol. Playlist for Virtue's Last Reward Sound Effects. Oh wow, somebody really loved this game that they had to share all of this XD. Nice to know. Wait a minute! Clover was voiced by Yukari Tamura?!?! Yeah, wow, she voiced a lot of different characters. Sung lots of different songs. Including koi wa Explosion, which is the OP of Love After World Domination. Yabe, so much info here. Could have typed a lot but alas. I can just type a lot in the future XD. Ah, I've thought more about Yachigusa Momoko-sensei's "Because they have the will to fly." and I realized that birds aren't the only ones that can fly. We humans can fly. And that was just... Wow... See, this is how Aikatsu is. Like it makes you think about things that just makes you go: "Wow, I've learned something from this." And that's why I love Aikatsu!. It's because of the show's willingness to make the audience learn from something, even if it's small things like taking a detour in life. Like even if you don't get to go to the place you want, perhaps the place you've stopped at, was the place that gave you the nice memories that you wanted, even if you didn't plan on it. Episode 24 of Aikatsu!. :). So good. ;). Aikatsu! is the best. I love it. It truly is better than K-On! and Madoka combined. ;). Like... I just turned this from quotes to screenshots. So... Life is great. :). 6/1/24 - Aikatsu! Episode 23's Growing for a Dream, Aikatsu Stars! Episode 5's Heart Skips, and ProjectDiva MikuHD Thanks to ProjectDiva MikuHD's videos on Aikatsu, like their My Top 100 Songs of ALL AIKATSU! video, I realized that I could actually enjoy the dancing of Aikatsu instead of kinda zoning out attimes. Like wow, they were made with a lot of effort and passion and I didn't really care that much. I thought I was already left out since it's in Japanese and I can really do both reading the subtitles and seeing the dance but like... Wow... I see something really special here. It was just... Wow... :). doki doki tte That part was so good! It was so good that it just made me think that "Wait a minute, I've really been missing half of Aikatsu! by not enjoying the dancing too much". And so... I've finally unlocked that other half of Aikatsu that I haven't enjoyed yet... Wow.... Past me predicted this. Or at least wondered about it. And to think that seeing ProjectDiva MikuHD's great Aikatsu videos would make me enjoy the dances so much more... I was worried about getting spoiled but no, those many many songs and dances are really special. They each have their own passions and it makes me think about the many different people who have worked on so many different parts, the dancing, the music, the lyrics, the character designs, the 3d backgrounds, the special effects, the rhythm, the smiles that they have while dancing, the themes, the fashion design, like.... AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!! HOW MUCH EFFORT DID IT TAKE TO MAKE THINGS LIKE THESE? HOW MUCH PASSION DID THEY HAVE? HOW MUCH GROWTH DID THEY EXPERIENCE? WE SAW THE FIRST PARTS OF AIKATSU'S DANCES NOT EXACTLY BEING THE BEST, BUT THEN I SEE ALL THE DIFFERENT SONGS AND DANCES OF AIKATSU AND SO MUCH HAS IMPROVED! NOT ONLY THAT, THEY HAVE TO THINK ABOUT HOW THE CHARACTERS DEAL WITH THEIR OWN FLAWS, RIVALRIES, FRIENDSHIPS, COORD DESIGNS, LIKE THEIR STORIES, MOTIVATIONS, GOALS, INSPIRATIONS, LIKE AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!! HOW DID THEY...? How were they able to make such a legendary anime? D;. Like... I can't believe that there have been so many people who have worked on something so legendary... The greatest anime that is called Aikatsu... I wasn't really lying when I said that huh.... ;). Life is so great. It's just... Wow... :). I shall make Aikatsu the most popular anime ever. Wooooo! Hahahaha... Wow... :). Yep, life's amazing. IKZ!!!!!!!!! haato skip, rizumu pom pom poppu jum~p 6/2/24 Yeah, this is the Aikatsu I'm talking about. It's the greatest anime of all time. Period. Oh! She wasn't even done yet. XD. Hahahahahaha! Hahahaha! See! This is why I love Aikatsu!. Like... I can't just help but just... Care so much about everything about it. It just won't stop showing so many nice things and I can't help but just fall in love. ;). 6/2/24 - Aikatsu! Episode 18 Every Aikatsu! episode is truly a favorite. ;). Even the weekly Aikatsu Aphorisms! ;). See, this is why I love Aikatsu!. ;). Aikatsu! or Aikatsu! Idol Activity (アイカツ! アイドルカツドウ, Aikatsu! or Aka "Aidoru Katsudou", where Aidoru is idol, and katsudou is activities. Not only that, but, Katsu's lucky food status comes from it's name, a homonym for the japanese verb meaning “to win.” where Ai means love, and katsu means win. Love wins!SEE! THIS IS WHY I LOVE AIKATSU! ITS THE GREATEST ANIME OF ALL TIME! ;D. I'm glad I've found the legendary anime. An anime that I didn't know that I would love so so much. I'm glad that I'm alive. ;). 6/2/24 Aikatsu! Episode 17 Ichigo's admiration for the legendary idol Kanzaki Mizuki ;) Revisiting this episode after almost 2 months. Wow. Life is great. ;). Looking forward to so much more of Aikatsu!. Even more so than before now that I'm enjoying the dances. :). IKZ! 6/2/24 - Here's my ranking system of Aikatsu performances that I can think of the top of my head right now: (Btw, Aikatsu Master has uploaded a lot of the performances. Not sure if they managed to share everything but 241 videos is no joke. :). Thank you Aikatsu Master, you're the best. :). Oh, and to ProjectDiva MikuHD as well for being my gateway Aikatsu!Tuber XD.) Yes, Aikatsu!Tube is a real thing. :). Actually, there's an official Indonesian Aikatsu channel for Aikatsu Bahasa Indonesia, wow. Indonesia's got it good if they got Aikatsu. They got Love Live and JKT48 as well, like wow, I'm glad they like anime idols. :). Anyways, for my Aikatsu Tier Rankings as of this day, S-tier: • Aikatsu! Episode 23's Growing for a Dream - is definitely S-tier. They really went all in on it. It may be scuffed at times but wow, they really made it look so much fun. The music is so good too, like wow. • Aikatsu Stars! Episode 5's Heart Skips - The gateway that started my love for Aikatsu's performances, all thanks to ProjectDiva MikuHD's Top 100 Favorite List, where Heart Skips was at 95. Like the part where Yume goes doki doki tte that was just... Wow. I fell in love with the song performance. I mean... just now, I've re-watched it multiple times. It was so good. Like... it started off really nicely, with the leg movement, then the arms movement, ... No, every part of her body is moving and it's like... Ahhhhhhh. Like you can see Yume having so much fun doing this dance while singing. And she does it in a very cute way, not only that, the song has nice lines in it. Like it's a cute song Yume loving fashion and she expressed it with so much joy and rhythm with her body. Like... I just re-watched it multiple times again and it was... wow... In Aikatsu, there was a point when someone said, I think it was Ichigo, where she said something like haato ga skip, rizumu pom pom poppu jum~(p) If you focus more closely on the song's lyrics, you'll realize that they were nicer than you thought and you end up loving it more and more. Like that's what I'm currently experiencing right now. Actually, I thought it was a love song at first, but it indeed was, but for fashion, not towards a certain someone. Like looking at this song, plus the context behind it where Yume was struggling to come up with her own coord(short form of coordinate : one of two or more pieces of clothing that are made in matching colors or styles so that they can be worn together), and Yuzu-senpai ended up showing her what it means to have a coord, where a coord is all about Which then made Yume realize that she needs to make a dress which will exhilarate her as she both sings and dances, and well... the result is Heart Skips and she definitely is exhilarated while singing and dancing. Yeah wow... Aikatsu! is no joke. They're doing it for real... Actually I only just made this connection just now. Also, that image was from when I was anime journaling about Aikatsu Stars!, so... you see why I love anime journaling so much? :). Aikatsu truly is the greatest anime. It sucks that I can't understand much Japanese right now but you know what they say, "When one door closes, another one opens", and well, if I can't understand Japanese, then I can at least read the English subtitles that the subbers have put a lot of care into, so that us English fans can enjoy Aikatsu too... ;). Thank you subbers. Though yeah, it would be so much better if I learned to speak Japanese. I would connect with the songs more and more as I fall in love with Aikatsu more and more... and I end up making it the most popular anime of all time... ;). Such an awesome dream. Yume wa miru mono janai kanaeru mono dayo HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Wow... Aikatsu is speaking to me. Ahhhhhh. It's only been like... it started since October 8, 2012. Wow, about to be 12 years old this year. Well there are games too. Kagayakitai shōdō ni sunao de iyou Start line! ^ Dreams aren't meant to be just seen, they're meant to be fulfilled All you have to do is be honest with your urge to shine Start line! Has Aikatsu ended? :(... Well it actually hasn't, but there's like... ya know... Anyways, searched about Aikatsu vs Pretty Rhythm and they copied from each other lol. That's fun to know. And yeah, I shall be watching Aurora Dream just to see. Like I like PriPara being focused on comedy but I wanna see the drama too. Like someone said Pretty Rhythm is more mature than Aikatsu, lesser tropes, more fleshed out characters, funnier (the special episodes are suprisingly hilarious), and c'mon, skating. Skating with magical jumps. What kinda kid wouldn't love that? Its satisfying when the characters efforts grow into fruition, and the jumps evolve. I think the anime shows better quality in showing a character's hopes, dreams and life lessons. That's all I need. Do I think it will surpass Aikatsu? Well, I'm gonna be honest, I'm kinda scared thanks to this person's answer. Like... if Aurora Dream manages to surpass Aikatsu... and I've said that Aikatsu is the greatest anime all this time... Like... my world would fall apart. Well I mean... actually, I've started with the Pretty Series first, and that was PriPara, and well... I called it the greatest anime of all time as well. Though that was back when I was watched 9 episodes straight and felt so bored, and so I wanted to prove that to a friend and decided to re-watch episode 5 because someone said in the forums that it had good comedy, and I felt annoyed at that so I wanted to prove them wrong or something, but then I re-watched it and was just finding so many funny things in that episode, and it just made me feel so... Passionate. Like how I realized that I was missing all the comedy this whole time. I should have been enjoying it rather than just being bored not getting the point. And so, I then declared that it was the greatest anime of all time. Combined with the fact that I've seen spoilers for it, I've seen people talk so warmly about it, like how it was an experience that they'll never ever forget... Like it put a void in their heart. You know, like when you complete a show you loved so much and you feel that sense of emptiness. XD. I've had that many times, and Aikatsu is for sure gonna be one of them. PreCure? Uh... No. Too childish for me. I hate having to see boring monsters. Like... Who gives a shit about the villains? They don't matter. "Oh no, they're the bad guy", yeah, I'm not kid anymore. I only love Precure when it deals with character drama. Ruru from Hug tto! Precure for example. Peak. Like that's peak. Like if you look at how she interacts with the other cures, like, you can see that she brings a lot of fun and dramatic irony to the show. Which is why, when she became a cure, and and episode spends time very boringly with her and Emiru wanting to be guitarists... When the first time they met it was all about funny comedy... Like... It just made me lose interest. Like there's no dramatic irony anymore, and for some reason, there's no fun anymore after she became a cure. Hug tto! Precure became horrible when they became guitarists like wtf? What did you guys even like... What about the interactions they had with the other 3? Nono Hana saved Emiru, therefore she must super respect Hana-senpai. Saaya gets very competitive with Ruru when it comes to taking care with babies, therefore they both should compete. Ruru and Hana have gone through drama, and they managed to solve it. Where the fuck did all of those great things go when both Ruru and Emiru became Precure? Where is the supposed chemistry between all of them? Where is the funny interactions between all of them? Where are the friendships, the respect, even music... Like the music idea was good but they didn't like... They made it so boring. How? The reasons why Emiru connected with Ruru in the first place was because when Emiru played music, Ruru's robotic heart felt something. And when Emiru's older brother tries to shame Emiru for liking guitar, Ruru defended her. Like where was all of that friendship? Where was the reminiscing of that friendship? I know their anxieties before resolving the drama was so big, and so when they resolve it, they should get to rest, but like... Why was the rest episode so boring...? Why didn't they talk about what happened in a relaxing type of way? Why was it just... Nothing? ... I need to re-watch. Like I could probably be misremembering but you never know. But yeah, there was the thing with Ruru and Homare, they were supposed to have their own interactions together but it got sidelined by the 2 forgotten minor characters from like the first episode. Like... it sucks so much when a show isn't coherent about what it wants to be. Like it tries to do everything but that's why it fails. It won't focus on the things that it can currently focus on, and instead, take stupid burdens that could be resolved at a later episode. Just focus on what the show asks right now. Like... Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh! ... Alas. I should make my own great show then. Modelled after Hug tto! Precure and learning from its failures. Like... again, "When one door closes, another one opens". The door of potential has been closed by failure? Then the door of even more potential has been opened thanks to that failure. Sheesh, I'm actually gonna be the most respected anime director, or writer. Actually, everything. Not just directing, but as well as animating, art, quotes, character ideas, like all that kind of stuff. And of course, I shall find people who shall help me, who can see my vision, whose visions I can also see back, like... You don't make great shows without chemistry. Like Aikatsu has a lot of chemistry, and that's because everyone who worked for it had great chemistry too. :). Well, I mean... It's a slice of life, of course they're meant to have great chemistry. Isn't that simple to do? Hm. No idea. What show is even better than Aikatsu? Nothing. Yeah, I don't have any idea what show is better than Aikatsu. Sheesh. Anyways, there's this url that has been here since the start, and I just remembered that I was supposed to be making a tier list. But I'm sleepy, so... Another time. But I shall mention the songs that I like and think of what tier to put them.Chu Chu Rainbow - A-tier, Snow Angel, A-Tier, Signalize - S-tier, Calendar Girl - A-tier, Never Give up - A-tier, Start Dash Sensation - S-tier, Good Morning My Dream - S-tier, Kira Power - S-tier, Aidoru Katsudou - A-tier. Yeah, those were just rapid-fire takes. Obviously I haven't analyzed them that much unfortunately. Did analyze a bit of Chu Chu Rainbow and it's surely an S-tier but I haven't like... Ya know, gone through the same focus like I did with Heart Skips. Like there's also the problem with context. Like Chu Chu Power happens in episode 83? How the heck am I supposed to know what happened in episode 83? I only just finished episode 29 and that was... (checks my anime journal), Aidoru Katsudou performance. Cool, but it doesn't top episode 23's Growing For A Dream, which is peak of Aikatsu. Anyone who disagrees is... Wow. What song is the peak of Aikatsu performances then? Lol. I can see myself arguing with other Aikatsu fans and it's gonna be fun. I'll be forced to check the performances of the other characters and yay, now I appreciate Aikatsu more. Which is why I need to join some sort of Aikatsu chatting room and compete with other Aikatsu fans or something. Why won't I do that? Because it would take a lot of energy lol. Plus imagine the typing noises. Oh no. Well, not if I use phone but lol. Anyways, I feel sleepy so lemme share the url. Fan mix of Yume and Yuzu singing Heart Skips See, this is why Aikatsu is awesome. We fans get to imagine what it would be like for characters to sing together and you get things like these. Which makes me think, why wouldn't there be a song mix app where you get to use different character's vocals together? Wouldn't that be the best? :). See, I'm GOATed. There's so much potential that I can see. Now it's up to me on whether or not to fulfill it, or just dream it... Shame on me for choosing to dream right now. I'm making all excuses in the world to not do anything. I could be making an anime even better than Aikatsu yet here I am right now. Oh well. Shame on me for choosing to be a loser. I wonder how I'll overcome this. By simply choosing to overcome this. That's about it. Nothing special. Just make the choice of making the greatest anime ever and I'll be making many greatest anime ever. :). |

On June 21st,
I get what you mean. I mean, sitting here and thinking about it now…it’s just…yeah. I’ve never heard a jazz song with such a dark atmosphere. It all starts with that screaming in the hotel
“AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!!!”
And then we hear these screeching synthesizers overlay it towards the end that almost sound like crickets chirping in the night, and gives the scream this sort of echo effect that really makes it feel that Kendrick is not just the only person in this room but goes further to suggest that he is the only thing in this room. It’s just him and his thoughts, everything else is empty. These crickets fade out as somber piano notes interlude into the introduction of the saxophone, both of them power up in sound and volume as we hear the second scream, this time giving a sense of a powerful darkness soon to overcome. More elements are introduced like the chiming sounds that almost sounds like a xylophone as the third scream ruptures the transitioning melody of the saxophone and then we hear one of my favorite parts of the song (instrumentally speaking): that minor guitar chord. If you isolate that sound and essentially strip it of its context, it sounds just like any basic guitar riff. However, placed within the dark, moody atmosphere that’s set up by everything else, it brings another source of tension into frame. It amps everything up, giving life to the dying piano and contrasting beautifully with all the depressive buildup. Oh my god, I’m starting to tear up and I’m just talking about the first 20 seconds of the song LMAO…but yeah, u is without a doubt one of my favorites on the album too. Probably one of my favorite Kendrick songs in general, and definitely the one that I consider to be his bravest. This song is a real try not to cry challenge lmfao. Musically, lyrically, and even the way he changes his vocal delivery from a pained expression of guilt and sorrow in the first half into just a complete tearful breakdown in the second half as the alcohol starts to kick in and he starts giving into his despair. It’s all so heart-rending that now I feel justified by always getting so angry whenever I see people reduce all of rap to “vulgar lyrics” and “repetitive trap beats”. I mean, even the songs they’re thinking of when they say such things are probably much more creative than they will ever realize. For example, I don’t like Playboi Carti’s music. I think it’s way too much style over substance. However, I can recognize that he’s one of the most monumental influences in the hip hop sound right now and the way he’s pushing cloud rap and trap beats to their creative limits is honestly mind-blowing. Unfortunately, I can’t say the same for people like Lil Pump. His music is just garbage, and I really hope that’s not the image that people who hate rap have of it lol.
Here’s an example of Carti’s music, where he literally adds shaking jewelry as an instrument:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EwdsnGfrd-k
It’s probably everything you hate about modern music, being about sex, drugs, and whatever the hell “rockstar shit” means. But at the same time, holy shit man the vibe of this song is unmatched. I’ve never heard anything like this before, and I love it when mainstream artists take big risks like this. You can tell that Carti actually cares about making music that he thinks sounds good, even if I don’t think it does lmao. But yeah, even something as overplayed and overdone as trap still has a lot of room for innovation. Just look at Metro Boomin’s discography, for example…:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ThRbi74tkLw
What am I even talking about now? Lol, I lost track. Ah yeah, people who misjudge rap. Well, I don’t think they’re very common in the US anymore, now that rap has arguably taken rock’s place as the most popular genre of music. I’m glad that people like Kendrick Lamar and Kanye West are mainstream, but at the same time when people like Drake co-occupy that space…my opinion on Drake is kinda iffy lol. There’s a lot of underground artists that I’d love to talk about too but that’s enough rap talk for now I suppose. How’d I go from talking about something so beautiful and moving, Kendrick Lamar’s u, to Drake? Lmao
Anyways, back to the subject at hand. Yeah, I can see why this song hits so hard for you. It’s sad to say this, but it’s definitely relatable.
I regret not being there to help you. Looking back at it, I should’ve checked in on you and have been more encouraging. I was asking some of the same questions you’re asking now a couple months ago lol. Like whether I consider or care about you. Am I so heartless that I blame someone for a failure that seemed almost inevitable? Well, the history involving you isn’t really what’s been on my mind, but it’s definitely an example of a blemish in my behavior that’s crafted me into the mess that I am today. But lifting yourself out from abject circumstances through sheer willpower seems so unfair to expect of someone. We were upset by the fact that you flaked out on us in order to improve on yourself but ended up not doing much of anything towards making progress, and so it was a group decision to ask whether you wanted to stay a part of the server. But honestly, I think that was fucked up. My intention wasn’t to pressure you to leave, and I’m sure you understood that, but why hadn’t I been more supportive? I think a little bit of support goes a long way. I didn’t even try. That says a lot about me as a person, doesn’t it? I have a lot of growing to do. And like you’ve been saying, fuck the me that thinks that this is who I am as a person, because it has no bearing on whether I’ll continue staying this way. I’ve come to a decision. I am someone who cares deeply about my friends. But, I have to be selective about who I can regard as a friend. They are people that truly care about me, and people that I care about in return.
Yesterday I was talking to someone, but it wasn’t a conversation. It was more so just them ranting about many different stupid things about how sensitive people have become and feminism and all that. People who are so sensitive to sensitive people are the true bitches in this society lmao. I mean really, if these people aren’t bothering you, why do you have an issue with them? It seems like you’re just being an instigator and flaring up conflict where it doesn’t belong because you have nothing better to do with your negativity. Well, I wish I could’ve said something along these lines, but he clearly wasn’t having it. Every time I tried to talk he kept talking over me. It wasn’t a conversation or debate so much as it was a one-sided rant. So frustrating. I don’t think of people like that as my friends. I don’t want to be used as a brainlessly nodding yes-man just because I’m at times shy to interject and I prioritize maintaining a polite discourse. I think true friends are like the people we had on the server. I’ve never been in such a close friend group before, and it’s a shame to see it go and dissipate into this amorphous remnant of what had been something truly special. We still talk to each other. I think we still all see each other as friends. But it’s tough to think about it all. I think I’m still blamed for what happened, and while I don’t think I was wrong to have done what I did, I definitely went about it the wrong way. I reacted emotionally instead of logically, and that was my major pitfall. I assumed that my emotions would be understood. Everything I said still seems clear to me, but it’s whatever. It’s all in the past, and I’ve moved on from it.
From now on, here’s to becoming a better friend and a better person.
It’s a lot more existential than that. There’s a lot of people in my life that I’ve failed and continue to fail, there’s a lot of people in my life that have failed me and continue to fail. Reading about your thoughts on your dad reminded me that I feel the same way towards my parents. It’s a mutual failure, but I can’t help but think that it rests more on the fault of the parent than on the child. Whether that’s a matter of me just thinking in a way that’s more convenient and advantageous for me is irrelevant because it’s something that I find is deeply rooted in strong logic. For most of my life, I’ve felt like a lost child. My parents hardly guided me through anything. They encouraged me to learn English over their native language of Bangla and now I’ve grown up to become someone who can hardly speak the language of my own parents. I mean, this is an incredibly common occurrence in the vast majority of immigrant households I’ve seen, but it’s not right. How can we move on and pretend that this is normal? And how can my parents gaslight me into thinking that I was the only child like this when I was a kid? They chastised me for being only able to speak English yet that’s the way I’ve been taught. They’re completely unsupportive in my efforts to learn Bangla, yet it’s something I’m expected to just know. It makes me so mad just thinking about it. My parents are people who claim to love and support me yet it feels so fake at the same time. How can you shamelessly put so much random pressure on your own child and act dumbfounded and stupefied when they can’t handle it? Or, how can you shamelessly suggest setting up an arranged marriage with some girl I don’t know in Bangladesh WHEN I’VE EXPLICITLY TOLD YOU THAT I HAVE NO INTENTION TO GET MARRIED? Why don’t they even try to understand me? I feel like those edgelords right now, “no one understands me” lol. But I don’t know. I’ve only recently come to terms with how lonely I am. How lonely I’ve always been. I feel trapped in my own mind. I don’t trust anyone. Does someone like me deserve to have friends? The cycle of pain perpetuates itself. I totally get why people in worse situations think the solution is to just become emotionally numb and detached.
Anyways, that’s enough of my stupid venting. I respect that you responded so earnestly. I’m thinking about why what you said made me feel so emotional, and I’ve come to the realization that you’re one of the few people to have ever taken my emotions so seriously. I was used to being ignored so the second that I started getting attention within the past year I think I became a bit of an addict. Talking about my emotions now only feels like an extension of that. It feels like whining about my issues is a pitiful way of prolonging that ray of attention. It’s why I’ve started to restrain myself from using venting chat.
I’m running out of energy to talk, and it’s been way past an hour lol. See ya.
Your journey through To Pimp A Butterfly made me really happy! I was first exposed to Kendrick Lamar in middle school through his album DAMN. and I was captivated by his ability to express so many complex themes in his lyrics while having some of the best flows, wordplay, and overall amazing sonic quality. It almost feels as if DAMN. has a song for every mood, and it’s one of those albums that’s helped me grow a lot as a person in so many areas of my life. It’s helped me become more in tune with my emotions, it’s helped me become a better thinker, and honestly I think it’s helped me become a better storyteller myself. Around that time I was also listening to good kid, m.A.A.d city but it wouldn’t be until a couple years later that I sat down and took the time to listen through the whole album. And GODDAMN. I thought DAMN. was the best album I heard but good kid immediately became a strong competitor. All of Kendrick’s work is conceptual in nature (i.e., revolving around a strong, central idea or a string of concepts that are structured and linked in an intentional way), but good kid has a stronger focus on telling stories from Kendrick’s past and sending a very clear message: that Kendrick is Compton’s human sacrifice. I’ll leave it to you to explore the album on your own and find out what that means if you ever wish to do that.
Now, the day I discovered To Pimp A Butterfly...the day I discovered this album was another reckoning of its own. TPAB is a lot more similar to good kid than it is to DAMN., which makes sense since it comes right after good kid in his discography and right before DAMN., and now that I think about it I actually listened to DAMN. the year that it came out. Wow, that’s interesting lol. Anyhow, I think you understand what I mean when I say that TPAB is straight up some of the densest and most meaningful work of all time. I think it’s Kendrick’s greatest work, and the word “masterpiece” falls short in every way as a descriptor for it. So, it's finally time to look more closely into your responses…
Yeah, I don’t feel like it’s proper to respond if you don’t feel like you’re in the right place mentally to do it. And for me, that’s now!...eh, as close as I’ll get to being ready for it lol. I want to write this letter over the course of one session so that I’ll be able to send something to make up for the whole overextended absence. I mean, I kinda disappeared on you lol. Sorry about that.
CLAMP’s oeuvre is infamous for having characters from their previous works making sudden appearances in their manga lol. You know something is CLAMP almost instantly because of their iconic artstyle, but these crossovers really do go above and beyond in making it feel like everything they make exists in its own universe separate from the entire world of manga. And seeing characters from Cardcaptor Sakura and Tsubasa: Reservoir Chronicle appear in xxxHOLiC was definitely a fun experience. I’m sure that many other authors do crossovers like this, but I think that the vast majority do it in a lot more subtle ways. Another example I can think of concerning crossovers is how Makoto Shinkai occasionally reintroduces old characters in his new work. I’m not sure why I thought of that after mentioning subtle references, because his crossovers aren’t really subtle at all lol.
Alright, time to listen. And yep, just listening without lyrics, I don't really understand. "Every ***** is a..." what? A sign? Question mark? So... yeah, time for lyrics then. Oh, yep, star. Yeah, I can hear it as a star now. That's the power of lyrics. Sheesh, sucks that I need to pull up lyrics but alas. Ah right, in the video talking about this album, this first song is about how the music industry is basically a girlfriend. hence the "But now I just wanna fuck lte nights thinkin' of you until I get my nut". Yeah, I'll never understand this if it weren't for someone talking about it.
Ah, that’s perfectly fine. You’re already starting at a better place than most people by admitting this lol. In truth, it takes many listens for me until I feel like I truly understand an album, and I have to listen to it in different ways depending on how much I care about dissecting it. For [i]TPAB[i/], all of Kendrick’s albums, and any album I think is amazing in general: my first listen is always without the lyrics. It’s always with the intention of getting a feel for the songs and the album musically and gathering the first impressions based on the bits and pieces I get from throughout the project. Also, going through something by an artist I like is always (well, I should say “usually” since sometimes their work can disappoint lol) a fun experience and I’m not so serious of a person that I sit down and analyze everything before moving on. Basically, the main purpose of the first listen is to just have fun lol. My second listen is with the lyrics in front of me, and there’s no rules for it or anything. If there’s a bar or a line that struck me enough to look more into it then I do further research. My main focus here is to just generally get a better idea of what’s being said. The rest of my listens from then on are either for fun if I enjoy how the album sounds or for deeper analysis. I’m excited to start doing the music blog to get a deeper relationship with this stuff, honestly I might start as soon as tomorrow!
Oh, I do want to say that I liked your approach of trying to understand the general meaning of a song before moving on. It’s just not something that I feel works for me lol. I wouldn’t be able to contain the desire to listen to the next song XD
There we go.
Huh, would have need to learn about Wesley Snipes...? Hm.
Ah, need lyrics to put up, yabe.
6:39 into the video and woah...
And finished the video and... wow... yeah... sheesh. I'll listen to more.
Wesley’s Theory is one hell of a song. That beautiful fusion of funk and jazz serves as the perfect backdrop for the start of this album, where Kendrick goes on to continue weaving pretty much every single genre of music associated with Black culture into one magnificent tapestry. And I’m sure you already understand why he took this approach for the beats lol. To be honest with you, I think this song goes strongly underappreciated and overlooked by the community. It’s far from the best song on the album I think, but that’s only because this album is so replete with amazing songs that I’d say it likely suffers from the subconscious (or very conscious) comparison to the rest of it in the minds of hip hop heads. Well, whatever reason it is, I still think this is one of my favorite intros to an album.
I can’t express enough just how happy and grateful it makes me feel knowing that you went through listening to this album with actual sincerity. I’m still in shock lmao.
Now onto the 2nd song, For Free?.
And finished the video and... wow... yep, gotta learn more. Lol.
Hm, I should probably go through the playlist myself and add my own thoughts to these songs, but that would definitely make this way too long lol. I guess for now I should focus primarily on responding to the first letter and tomorrow I’ll respond to the next and so on.
And back after finishing the 4th episode for Institutionalized. Damn... tbh, I was actually getting tired of hearing the explanations but damn, this is just... wow... bringing his friend to the awards but he's used to the hood and when he sees the money and jewelries around, he just wants to steal them and stuff. Damn... yeah... I'll continue listening onto the 5th episode for These Walls.
Oh wait, is this that song, oh no.
"That sentence so important" Woahhhh, ahhh, the many double meanings, ahhhh. Sentence as in the previous line and also sentence as in prison sentence. Ahhhh. Sheesh, these walls mean a lot of things. Could be a genital, could be a brain, could be the prison walls, damn.
"So when you play this song, rewind the first verse"... no... Fuck...
Yeah... damn...
Now time for episode 5, for U.
Yep, this is gonna be... damn…
All wonderful and powerful songs, though I find it almost impossible for me personally to relisten to These Walls lol. It’s a great song, but it’s one of the weaker ones for me because of the fact that I don’t enjoy relistening to it. But yeah, not every song has to have infinite replayability or anything of course. I think it definitely accomplished what it wanted to do quite effectively.
Now u on the other hand…yeah, I’m at a loss for words to describe it. This is the most vulnerable song in Kendrick’s entire discography. It’s incredibly moving, perhaps one of the best examples I can think of that proves beyond a shadow of a doubt that music is an art and that just like any artform, it’s a means of expression. The somber overtones at the beginning, the way the song completely switch ups, the way the sound bounces between your ears during the transition, and so much more. A masterpiece of a song. The pinnacle of musical expression.
Oh, this is the part which you analyzed in your letter XD. Well I'll focus on the explanation first. Lol. But yeah, damn, didn't expect the optimistic feel.
And finished the episode and wow... sheesh. Well, actually, I didn't really understand it tbh, but basically about how even with all the bad things he's done, and the lack of providing solutions to the problems he swore to stop, he's still gonna persist and find those answers rather than break that promise. Sheesh. Now time for the 7th episode, For Sale?.
And finished it and wow. All about Lucy tempting him. But that last showed line of the poem.
Yeah lol. Completely different feel from the last song. It’s almost as if he wants us to move on and forget about everything he expressed in the previous song for a little bit, like when your friend shares something depressing about themselves and brings up a wildly different topic to help the conversation move on. At the same time, the sobering reflection of u is in a way the perfect primer to the bombastic glory anthem that is Alright. And thematically, we notice Kendrick beating himself down over being a failure of a leader in one song and then taking up the mantle again and trying to be a better leader in the next. We see here a perfect example of why I think that TPAB is kind of naive at certain points. The optimism is vibrant and dazzling, and uplifts me whenever I hear it without fail, but this is the point in the album where it really starts feeling like Kendrick is trying to take the role of a savior. He wants to help the Black community lift themselves up with this album. To realize the brutal impact of history and to explore the internal issues that exist within the community. However, as we see in his reflections through his latest work Mr. Morale and the Big Steppers, there is no such thing as a savior. And if there is, it’s not Kendrick. No matter how much he tries, it’s impossible to save the world on your own. Kendrick is ultimately just one piece of the puzzle, and his music, no matter how powerful, meaningful, and motivational it is, is only one step in the right direction.
Changing the world takes a mountain of effort on everyone’s part, and it seems like all artists that try to impart something life-changing with their music like Kendrick Lamar and J. Cole comes to the inevitable realization that they have to prioritize healing themselves over healing the world. In Section. 80, Kendrick takes a look around his world and identifies everything that’s wrong. In good kid, m.A.A.d city, he goes through his past and identifies how all of the evil around him has impacted him as a person and expresses his desire to save his friends from this hell. He also makes a lot of promises in this album. However, in u we find out that he failed one of his promises in good kid, he failed to be there for his people when they most needed it. In To Pimp A Butterfly he shifts his focus onto the Black community and the US as a whole and tries to use his platform to spread a message that makes people think and start working towards solutions. And to an extent, he was successful. Alright became the anthem of the Black Lives Matter movement, and songs like The Blacker The Berry continue to haunt the minds of everyone who heard it. However, in DAMN., he makes another important realization: humans are even more fucked up and lost than he had anticipated. He explores this in an immaculate dissertation of an album that delves into what he personally identifies and the most defining feelings, emotions, and moods in his life and draws distinctive contrasts between these expressions to themselves and the world around him. Funnily enough, DAMN. is the only album of his to receive a Pulitzer Prize even though the popular consensus is that good kid and TPAB are fundamentally deeper albums. But I understand why the Pulitzer committee gave the award to DAMN., it’s a heart-rending project for sure. Finally, his most recent album Mr. Morale and the Big Steppers is essentially him telling us that he’s moved on from his goal of saving the world and that his most important motivation in life at the current moment is saving himself and his family. Well, obviously everything is a lot more complex and nuanced than what I’m suggesting, but the only way to really get through the whole message is listening to it on your own and forming your own thoughts lol. Honestly I’m not even sure whether anything I say about music or media in general is the author’s actual intention, but that’s beautiful in its own way. This is just the meaning I got generally from his albums. Wow, that was a huge tangent lmao. I apologize for rambling.
I think I’ve had enough talk about Kendrick for now lol. Glad to see you going through Katawa Shoujo, and the other visual novels you mentioned seem interesting. I’ve never watched Demi-chan wa Kataritai, so definitely gotta look into that too.
Thanks. To put it short as I said before, I’ve been kinda awful lol. But things are looking a little bit better at least. See ya tomorrow
True! I get why people love K-On!, but it just ain't for me. I've been wanting to watch Hidamari Sketch too since I'm a Shaft fanboy. I don't know if you knew Monogatari and HIdamari Sketch were animated by the same studio, but that would probably explain the weird stylistic decisions lol. Nice to see that you're enjoying it!
Hmm, if you asked me a year ago when I was carefully constructing my favorites I would've given a very detailed and thought out answer to your favorites question. However, I unfortunately at this point have ceased to give much attention in updating my favorites to reflect my present favorites and to be honest I haven't been giving anime/manga enough room in my headspace to give a great answer. In fact, if you told me right now to list out all my favorites I probably wouldn't be able to do it lol. So let's take a look and come back to see what I have to say!
Oh wow, forgot I added Bocchi there lol. I think I replaced Thorfinn for her. Yeah, I really fell in love with Bocchi the Rock and felt like the main character perfectly emulated a lot of the same fear I have when it comes to just talking with other people and being confident in your skill. Don't get me wrong though, Thorfinn is still one of my favorite protagonists. I think his character arc is just so utterly well-written, and people who rank Askeladd above him simply aren't acquainted with the Farmland Saga arc yet lol. Anoher character that I would add to my favorites if I had enough space would be Kurapika. I'm a huge Hunter x Hunter fan, and despite ranking Pouf in my top 10 characters I actually prefer the Yorknew arc to Chimera Ant. Kurapika shined like a brilliant star there, and there's just so much to say when it comes to how exciting his revenge plot is and the profundity of his sheer hatred towards the spiders. Great stuff!
Let's see...in terms of manga, you know there's a ton of manga that I think are way too overlooked and I could write for hours about that. So it's probably a topic we should save for another day lol. Oh, that reminds me, I saw you read the manga we talked about on the same day we talked about it! I was pleasantly surprised by that lol. I'm glad to see that you enjoyed it :)
Well, I think I've answered enough here. If anything of note comes to mind I'll add on later! Have a good day x2
74 words per minute is definitely not a bad typing speed at all, in fact I’d say it’s pretty fast compared to the general public. If I recall correctly, the average typing speed is around 40-50 wpm, so you’re technically on the faster side. But of course, when it comes to internet addicts like us, our typing speeds tend to be wayyy higher. I just did a test on monkeytype.com to confirm and I got 100 wpm lmao. I got a raw score of 110 wpm but the website factors in accuracy adjustments and consistency. Honestly that’s way higher than I expected, I think before I usually typed at like 80-90 wpm. I’ve improved, growth! Still not yet quite at the level of your classmates though…
Rest in peace, lost progress. We will never know the exact words we wrote to each other in our lost progress. That’s quite sad to think about, but also in a way it doesn’t really matter since we, or at least I, get over it after a couple days. Sometimes whenever I’m stressing about something small I try to bring in some perspective to the issue and think about how insignificant it’d be within the span of even just the next few days. We live long lives but at the same time they’re too short to be spent worrying too much about the small things. But of course, it’s only natural to feel some grief over something lost. Today, I'm in the mood to rant about some philosophical stuff for some reason, lol. There’s always the cliche stuff about stopping to think about the gigantic scale of the universe and putting into frame just how puny we are in the grand scheme of things, but thoughts like these never cease to inspire wonder and ignite an almost infantile sense of curiosity within our hearts. Knowing that there isn’t an end in sight to how much there is of the universe and even just our own planet to explore, it’s really cool to think about. Some people might interpret that negatively and be discouraged by the idea of pursuing something with no clear end in sight, but according to another cliche that I’m sure you’re also quite familiar with, the journey is what actually matters in the end. Let me split this into two paragraphs so it’s easier to read lol.
I’m reminded of the Pokemon tournament I entered and won $20 from. I think back to that experience quite often, but the funny thing is that the reward itself didn’t even matter that much. I used it up pretty quickly. Yet, the experience still stands. Even if I had won the $1000 tournament I entered, I think I’d still value the experience of it all much more than the prize money. I guess what I’m trying to say is that I think experience always triumphs the direct reward in terms of importance. Let’s say hypothetically that I really needed that $1000 for something really specific, like I desperately needed it to pay the bills. Now, if that were the case I don’t think I’d spend my time trying to get it through playing Pokemon, but just bear with the hypothetical for a bit XD. Obviously, the reward would hold immediate benefit and a high level of impact in my life. The money would be extremely important. However, I think I’d still come out saying that the experience of working to earn that money and being able to pay off the debt is what I’d feel more attached to than the feeling of “oh I don’t have to worry anymore now that I’m debt-free”. Maybe I could be wrong about this, idk I’m just going on a rant lmao. Relatively speaking I’m in a position of privilege that grants me the luxury to think about such things rather than live through them, but I’d like to accumulate more challenging experiences in my life. I think that’s ultimately what gives me a sense of purpose, that idea of growth and change. I want to keep seeing how I develop as a person. I want to keep exposing myself to new and crazy things. So, the first step in doing that is by taking more risks and putting myself out there. That’s something I’ve been trying to do. For example, I started volunteering at a place nearby recently and it’s been a ton of fun! I’ve never had to stand for 2 hours while packing onions in bags, but it’s surely an experience that’ll stick with me. And I look forward to what’s to come in the future! Next on my list, I’m thinking about signing up for more arts and culture type events. Like maybe I should take advantage of living in the city more and go out to watch an opera or a concert some time soon. I’m bubbling up with so many ideas rn lol. Ahh, ranting too much, but this is fun. I should let my mind run loose more often!
Hmm, I’ve never heard of trace.moe before. It’s been a few days since I wrote that sentence, and since then I’ve used it to track down a couple anime that I was unsure about. Useful stuff!
Oh, nice! I’m also a fan of the Oshi no Ko manga, and I’m excited to start watching the anime whenever I actually get around to doing it lol. I’m not sure if you’re aware, but you might be since this has become a widely known fact by now, but the author of Oshi no Ko also wrote Kaguya-sama: Love is War. My hot take of the day is: Oshi no Ko is just a superior manga. While I find the characters of Kaguya to be generally a lot more enchanting, I was more engrossed with what Oshi no Ko had to offer in terms of plot substance and also its manifold explorations into various parts of the entertainment industry. Wow, it feels like I’m writing some kind of academic essay now XD.
This is only part one of more to come! Be on the lookout, next message will be coming soon!
