it will be going on sale by the 5th of July...you better get your mind set soon on whether you will be going or not...

the price is a bit killing and i am worried about the arena since it only holds 1000 people... from the Live+ recording in taiwan i saw last year... i am a little worried that i can't see much since it doesn't have a screen or anything...

i guess i will just wait for the bluray first press and buy that instead...

it's steep if you take into account our currency rate... japanese concerts are only about 7500 yen...

if it was a bigger venue... i would not think twice about it since it's so near to us.... it beats going to japan anyways...

she can't satisfy everyone... furthermore, it's not a new song from supernal liberty... it's not really one of those staple songs in her concerts like eternal blaze or power gate... so, it figures... the concert i considerably shorter too i heard...

she is speaking in english... feels so weird...

She could just said

Hi Shingapoore, i am Nana Mizuki and then revert back to a 5 yo immediately even though 70% of the crowd doesn't understand what she says...

on a rather creepy note... i was sitting in front of my computer very much most of friday night looking at flightradar watching SQ633 land at changi... that was how much participation i had at NMLF+

and now we have to wait till live acoustic before a bluray get launched into the market most probably... KR is going to have a fun time milking the shit out of this one... it's gonna be a 5 disc wallet killer looking at it...

Anyway, I still enjoyed the waving, jumping shouting at the concert nevertheless. biggrin.gif
Just felt regretful for not bringing any glowsticks on that night. sad.gif

WAAAAAATTTTTTTT!!!!! You didn't bring a glow stick to NM Live?

Did they make a booklet on how the glowstick waving and jumps for the major songs?

They did that in taiwan. I think it's a fan group who voluntarily made them so everyone is in sync...

i've been attending anison concerts since 2008 annually (afa basically, and other various concerts in MY/SG time to time) so it was probably hilarious back then, maybe not so much today.

You're implying that once you get rotan'ed enough, you no longer feel the pain?

I thought she said that supernal's theme was "retro & future"... hmm.gif

I don't think they ever made a booklet for that as I noticed some people waving differently..
There are even some people who sat down for the entire concert too. sweat.gif

Moreover, this is also the first concert I've ever attended in my life, so I apologise for not bringing that. blush.gif

It's quite a mix bag of stuff, but generally more rock themed than her previous album (at least i think)... I think she just overdone it because it's her 10th album and i am not sure if it was rushed as it was launched in a shorter span of time between albums based on her last one rockbound neighbors (which somehow sounds quite contradicting to my statement)...


I certainly didn't like as many songs on it as the others....and if there is any, weirdly it's the slow ones like ai no hoshi... This prompted my decision not to go to NMLF+ because i thought it will be filled with songs from supernal liberty... And to my regrets when i found out they put power gate, pop master and discotheque almost together in the set list towards the end really had me kicking myself...sad...

They should be thrown out of the concert... How do they expect to see anyone if everyone in front of them stood up?

Like taiwan there is no screens to show the stage right?

Maybe they might laugh at you trying to speak in their language too....so, consider it leveled...

So, you goin to attempt going for live acoustic to celebrate her birthday with her? It's mostly gonna be like the weekend before her birthday, so it's gonna be like 2 days in advance... Not as close as live grace ~opus II~ which is on the eve but close enough..

IMO, I think the original ai no hoshi was much better than the album version.

There were many songs that I dislike in supernal too. sweat.gif

Nope. There were projectors showing short movies during each segment though.

Nah, I'm only just a casual listener of her music as I mostly listen to J-pop songs..

I also prefer her older songs much more to her newer songs(like some people out there).. blush.gif

I have 2 favorite j-pop artiste...one has gone missing for 4 years and counting...nana doesn't have the song writing capability equivalence but she is better from an entertainer perspective...she is not a trend setter like ayumi hamasaki but she still ranks high in my books for not being a mainstream artiste and still able to hold fans from both sides of the industry...

It's funny that for a few years i didn't know who she was or even her name... I wasn't even sure of the track title (power gate although it's a simple guess since it's the only english phrase repeated over and over in the song) of the song that caught my attention back then (early 2000's)...ID3 tagging on mp3 on non-english songs was practically still shit and her album was non existent even at the common areas like sin ma plaza in kl where you can get all your japanese domestic discs.. Youtube was practically non-existent...god, it has since been more than 10years since then ...

Ah, ayumi hamasaki is one of my favourite j-pop artists too(been listening to her music since I was 7 or 8). biggrin.gif

Like what I've read from what a fan has mentioned in a chinese forum, Nana is one of the few artists in the industry to have her fame rise up slowly.. not instantly like ayumi hamasaki and utada hikaru. That's why I respect her a lot(as someone who isn't really a serious fan yet). blush.gif

For me, I think the first few songs I've heard from her are wild eyes and hime murasaki and that was during 2005. My brother always played those two songs at that time, but I didn't know who she was.
It was until around 2007 when I watched the nanoha dub on tv.. that's how it all began for me.

I see that you seem to be quite an old fan of her already. brows.gif

On another note, I feel upset now as it seems that her taiwan concert yesterday had a "better" setlist than the singapore concert(don't be long and risouron). sad.gif
Now I felt like I should have went for that instead.. sweat.gif

Ayu @ 7 or 8, wat the hell??? I was still on old mcdonald had a farm i think...

Ayu, yeah back then i think she was good too...until she got divorced and sort of gone to the crazies a bit...and she got married again this year....hope she dun pull a britney spears on us.... The concerts are getting a bit raunchy in recent years

Well, i still have ayu's live countdown 2000 dvd for good memories....one of the very first concert i own of hers which i quite liked compared to the rest...just hoped it was shot in high def back then...

no wonder avex hates their artiste getting married....ayu practically shot to fame after namie amuro got married... japanese are darn realistic...it's like they can't have her, they no longer wanna buy her music... Which in some ways is bad news for nana...otaku and her male mainstream fans is bad news for her love life and she is 34 already this year

Yeah...she took time...she had to as she did not have the freedom of ayu or utada who practically have the full backings of their record companies...even though nana is still the one KR heavily banks on....she still have to juggle between her job as a seiyu, doing voiceovers and as a radio show host...it must be taxing on her...and she still find time to participate in making her own music...(even though she doesn't compose or do arrangements of her songs like her other compatriots)...not the best female vocalist..but, neither do i find her to be 100% idol based...she is just what she is...i could not expect more out of her as an entertainer...

You should read her novel shin ai if you have the time...i bought it but i know jack shit about japanese, so i just looked for summary translation done by fans...

Here is one of the blogs who did summary translation of it if u have the time and interest...her journey to fame is not as many thinks...her hardship rivals that of ayu at the start of her career (or at least to say) and i wouldn't say she has the best of a family in supporting her in becoming what she is today (although her family is not as ridiculous as utada's where teruzane and keiko divorced 7 times over the period of time after utada was born)

I think of it the other way round... I seemed to like singapore's setlist better...

Taiwan tickets was practically sold out in a matter of hours and black market tickets gone as high as six times the price of the tickets i read from somewhere...

Ayu @ 7 or 8, wat the hell??? I was still on old mcdonald had a farm i think...

Ayu, yeah back then i think she was good too...until she got divorced and sort of gone to the crazies a bit...and she got married again this year....hope she dun pull a britney spears on us.... The concerts are getting a bit raunchy in recent years

Well, i still have ayu's live countdown 2000 dvd for good memories....one of the very first concert i own of hers which i quite liked compared to the rest...just hoped it was shot in high def back then...

no wonder avex hates their artiste getting married....ayu practically shot to fame after namie amuro got married... japanese are darn realistic...it's like they can't have her, they no longer wanna buy her music... Which in some ways is bad news for nana...otaku and her male mainstream fans is bad news for her love life and she is 34 already this year
*
I thought it should be "possessive" instead of realistic.. unsure.gif

QUOTE(nm7 @ Oct 6 2014, 01:50 AM)
Yeah...she took time...she had to as she did not have the freedom of ayu or utada who practically have the full backings of their record companies...even though nana is still the one KR heavily banks on....she still have to juggle between her job as a seiyu, doing voiceovers and as a radio show host...it must be taxing on her...and she still find time to participate in making her own music...(even though she doesn't compose or do arrangements of her songs like her other compatriots)...not the best female vocalist..but, neither do i find her to be 100% idol based...she is just what she is...i could not expect more out of her as an entertainer...

You should read her novel shin ai if you have the time...i bought it but i know jack shit about japanese, so i just looked for summary translation done by fans...

Here is one of the blogs who did summary translation of it if u have the time and interest...her journey to fame is not as many thinks...her hardship rivals that of ayu at the start of her career (or at least to say) and i wouldn't say she has the best of a family in supporting her in becoming what she is today (although her family is not as ridiculous as utada's where teruzane and keiko divorced 7 times over the period of time after utada was born)
http://haretaraiine.wordpress.com/2011/05/...mary-chapter-2/

Not to forget AKB48. icon_idea.gif

But there was one forummer from a J-pop forum criticising Nana for having a "cute" image despite being already 34. hmm.gif

I have already read that blog before. I don't think that's the complete translation of her book..

We just happen to have a different preference then. smile.gif

I read that the scalpers had to return the tickets(one week before the concert) to the retailer as everyone has "boycotted" them.

LOL.

Ayu is also one of the artists coming down for a-nation SG. But I'm not willing to go unless it's a solo concert from her..

Now I feel so unfortunate to be a Malaysian, because it seems like all the J-pop artists are only interested coming down to SG. cry.gif
Going to SG is also pretty expensive for me, unless I get to stay at my cousin's place..

Just curious, but do you mind telling me your age? hmm.gif

Here's a pic of the confetti that I picked up after the concert(try to spot Nana's "typo" brows.gif ) :

people want to be cute up to them lo, don't particularly mind.
heck people should be more concerned about immortals like hocchan that seem to never age since her teens laugh.gif

Personally, serve the scalpers right. i hope they never get to return any and made huge losses nod.gif

and Malaysian = cheapskates = backfiring = serve them right.
in the end it's all a business and no one (Japanese) wants to make a loss.

Personally Singapore isn't that expensive and i tend to like driving down there. but f***ing hell our currency :/

it's ok, i definitely did made such mistakes when i was much younger/google chrome didn't exist to correct me everytime wink.gif

I wonder how many Malaysians are willing to fork out RM300-400 to watch a J-pop/anisong concert(if one was to be held in our country).

I remember there was an anisong concert(aoi eir was one of the artists announced for that concert too wub.gif ) going to be held in Istana Budaya, but it got cancelled last minute(I wonder why..). Not that I could make it as I had a trip on that day.. doh.gif

Indonesia managed to have AFA for these past few years. Perhaps it's because their spending power is higher than ours? hmm.gif

For me, the most expensive thing in SG is accomodation. A reasonably decent hotel already costs around RM350. sweat.gif
Perhaps you may have a better recommendation for accomodation there. unsure.gif

Sorry, I just used the word "typo" as she made a spelling mistake for that word. The writing on the confetti is definitely handwritten by her. blush.gif

i was one of the person who bought the vip tickets ma... probably the only one (or at least who posted) on anime shrine.
in the end got refunded, so oh wells.

And Indonesians having higher spending power than Malaysians? with their Rupiah? good joke.
Makes me even sadder for our cuntry lol.

there's a lot of accommodation options in Singapore and even after conversion can be even cheaper than Malaysia! (per night basis, generally dorms)
i personally go with a particular hotel (google for Hangout) because i can park my car there and i've been driving down Singapore since 2009 (first year i've visited was for AFA08 which was also first AFA, and that was by bus)

and nah no worries, just poking fun is all. it seemed like she probably gotten it correctly, then re-corrected to be incorrect ROFL!

i kinda think so too although i don't necessarily criticize her for that... it just kinda feels weird sometimes when you think back of some of her stuff and then you recall she is in her mid thirties now...her voice is really the biggest factor in helping her portray how she wants to present herself to her audience...how she can change her voice is really something to be amazed of if you've seen one of the girls factory video where she was invited (not the recent one)...but, she does have quite a hell of a mature voice too... you can try lookup some of the voiceovers that she does for those translated documentary videos in japanese...totally un-recognizable that both is the same person if you were not told...

however, i also think she somehow shows some reluctance to perform some of those poses / moves / actions (especially if you look into the lovely fruit PV making, the scene where she fell and have to look up into the camera and wink) but those feelings just vanishes as soon as she steps onto a stage of any kind...she did say sometime last year when she came to AFA that she is a bit of an uncle (watever tat means) in private when she was interviewed with TMR

i am however a little uncomfortable with how she is showing a bit more thigh and some of the sexier stuff in recent times (not to say that i am complaining about it) compared to when she was quite rather new into the industry (when she was a bit more matchstick thin back then)... she doesn't wear as much of those shorts that is a bit revealing by my standards (shit! now i sound a bit creepily possessive)...

i am no older than nana but my birthday is dang close to her and my other favorite artiste...so, one of my friends suggestion is to head to japan next year to watch Live Acoustic which most probably falls on the weekend of 17th or 18th Jan just before her birthday and sort of pass it with her (as if i am celebrating with her like that, nuts!)

QUOTE(yellowpika @ Oct 11 2014, 08:08 PM)

you got it right, it's mika kondou.... unlike the one who pretended to be dumb...

she does however doesn't look quite like her though... although some people say they do lookalike.. her teeth is way more banged up at least... not to say Nana's one is anywhere near perfect by guai lo standards, but it makes her look a bit unique... it must be damn fun being a digital retoucher in japan... having to touch up all the yaeba and the imperfect teeth is like their primary skill i guess...

those cube trendy/hipster shit is actually damn expensive.
https://www.thebookingbutton.com.au/propert...odcapsuledirect

most dorms are actually damn comfortable with good facilities (albeit you'd be sharing room with strangers)
my ONLY gripe for most of the dorms is the lack of parking spaces and i have to wake up like 7:30am in the morning to start peeling parking tickets and fill my entire car's dashboard with them for a full day parking (i can NEVER find those 1 day tickets :/ )

but yea, that's why i prefer going to hangout hotel all the time despite them being pricier than most hotels/dorms and still 10-15min walk away from the nearest MRT just because of their parking facilities lol.

i was one of the person who bought the vip tickets ma... probably the only one (or at least who posted) on anime shrine.
in the end got refunded, so oh wells.

And Indonesians having higher spending power than Malaysians? with their Rupiah? good joke.
Makes me even sadder for our cuntry lol.

there's a lot of accommodation options in Singapore and even after conversion can be even cheaper than Malaysia! (per night basis, generally dorms)
i personally go with a particular hotel (google for Hangout) because i can park my car there and i've been driving down Singapore since 2009 (first year i've visited was for AFA08 which was also first AFA, and that was by bus)

and nah no worries, just poking fun is all. it seemed like she probably gotten it correctly, then re-corrected to be incorrect ROFL!

Yeah. sad.gif

I actually thought that Malaysians would be spending more than them(our currency is stronger than theirs)...

QUOTE(nm7 @ Oct 12 2014, 02:42 AM)
i kinda think so too although i don't necessarily criticize her for that... it just kinda feels weird sometimes when you think back of some of her stuff and then you recall she is in her mid thirties now...her voice is really the biggest factor in helping her portray how she wants to present herself to her audience...how she can change her voice is really something to be amazed of if you've seen one of the girls factory video where she was invited (not the recent one)...but, she does have quite a hell of a mature voice too... you can try lookup some of the voiceovers that she does for those translated documentary videos in japanese...totally un-recognizable that both is the same person if you were not told...
*
I guess she can sound mature if she wants to.. she sounds quite mature in one of her radio shows.

I still cannot believe that she's already in mid-30s after seeing her in person(I always think that she looks younger than her age). blush.gif

QUOTE(nm7 @ Oct 12 2014, 02:42 AM)
however, i also think she somehow shows some reluctance to perform some of those poses / moves / actions (especially if you look into the lovely fruit PV making, the scene where she fell and have to look up into the camera and wink) but those feelings just vanishes as soon as she steps onto a stage of any kind...she did say sometime last year when she came to AFA that she is a bit of an uncle (watever tat means) in private when she was interviewed with TMR

i am however a little uncomfortable with how she is showing a bit more thigh and some of the sexier stuff in recent times (not to say that i am complaining about it) compared to when she was quite rather new into the industry (when she was a bit more matchstick thin back then)... she doesn't wear as much of those shorts that is a bit revealing by my standards (shit! now i sound a bit creepily possessive)...

I assume what she meant by being an "uncle" is that she is a conservative/traditional person in life..

Don't worry too much about that. I like it when she shows off her legs too. wub.gif

I don't think she's considered "revealing" by western standards.. hmm.gif

i am no older than nana but my birthday is dang close to her and my other favorite artiste...so, one of my friends suggestion is to head to japan next year to watch Live Acoustic which most probably falls on the weekend of 17th or 18th Jan just before her birthday and sort of pass it with her (as if i am celebrating with her like that, nuts!)

you got it right, it's mika kondou.... unlike the one who pretended to be dumb...

she does however doesn't look quite like her though... although some people say they do lookalike.. her teeth is way more banged up at least... not to say Nana's one is anywhere near perfect by guai lo standards, but it makes her look a bit unique... it must be damn fun being a digital retoucher in japan... having to touch up all the yaeba and the imperfect teeth is like their primary skill i guess...
it's not... just a loose summary of it... but, beggars can't be choosers...
by all means, please do...

hahahaha yaeba(fang) tongue.gif . You really made my day..
I think their eyes look alike lah.. maybe not so much for the teeth. Mika's face seems to be slightly chubbier than her sister too.. blush.gif

you can view some of the snippets of smile gang on youtube with translations... she is definitely sounding more mature placing her beside yukarin...

and very definitely if you try to find some of those videos of her in FNS or Music Fair (i sometimes just dig it up from here NM TV Treasure Chest)... there is even one very rare one which she did an enka song in one of the older concerts... but i don't think there is a clip on youtube of it...

There are times when you can see that her age and the strain from her work shows...especially when she is doing more casual and upclose shots like seven pieces and some of the documentary MJ and NHK shows...

but, for a person of her age and workload... i think her upkeep has been quite well compared to most other career women of her kind...

as for what "uncle" means... i leave it for her to know and for me to second guess... i guess what she puts up on camera is like what Quazacolt says, purely for show biz... furthermore, i doubt anyone can live with a 5 year old for the rest of their lives... so, for the sake of her life companion in near future, there has to be a more tamer and so called "uncle" side of her that she lays back into during off camera times... else, that dude might go crazy...

although it seems interesting to have someone like that in your life... i am sure that slowly but surely, it will be hard to tolerate it for 50 more years down the road...

it's like those thing where you're happy that your GF/wife dresses in the most sexy outfits in front of you but not in the public or anyone else beside you... well, it's kinda moronic anyways... she is an entertainer, what more can you expect...

but, over the years... i like her more when she looked like this... the years when she carried short hair was not bad too but she was too thin back then... this is kinda like in between...

either the lacking of viewers or technical problems... it's a live stream anyways, so it must require some nut busting high speed internet with zero lag time in order for it to work...

that leads me to wonder, if they had cameras pointed in the direction of the stage for the sake of live streaming and recording it for releasing the blurays later... why didn't they project it on screen? maybe the stage is quite close so they think the people can see her clearly without the screen...

as for Malaysia... if you, me and Quazacolt and a couple more counts as very good show of interests from the public (which i doubt they see it that way)... then they might consider doing one... else, my best guess would be no one was interested to organize it between whichever screen owner is over here and KR and it's technically no small challenge to do so.. on top of that, i guess the cinema operators are already screaming if not more than 50% of their seats are filled on any night let alone finding out only a few idiots filling up the cinema for something like this...

so, chances of it happening is lower than a terrorist trying to land a A380 into your house...

i am not sure... but it just doesn't seem like she can find the time to write so many when she only arrived the night before... you yourself seen it with your own eyes that how much is blown out right? she might have lend her hand in writing a few but i am not sure she done all of it...

Anyway, what did you think about her recent single?

i haven't really listen to it yet... my disc from cdjapan just arrived today but i won't be opening it up... will just wait for someone to upload some FLAC files of the actual single instead...

not really my taste to be exact from watching the PV...

as of the last couple of pages.. only 3 of us present... so, unless you are seeing something else that our eyes can't see... Yes, 3...

Auspiciously, if you can find another 4 and make it 7 then it would be great...

You mean the PV is not really to your taste, or the song is not to your taste? hmm.gif

The PV is pretty typical for Nana.. nothing too special about it(too similar to her previous music videos). sweat.gif

Dream rider was a pleasant surprise as it sounded pretty J-pop-esque.. But kindan no resistance is a decent track(been tired of listening to element gardens' music all this while..). smile.gif

What audio rig are you using(since you listen to lossless)? hmm.gif

unfortunately yes... my top favourite songs is nevertheless still powergate, super generation, pop master, love brick, dramatic love and discotheque... something along the line of that... actually, come to think of it... none of that is considered cutey except for dramatic love, lovely fruit and discotheque...

i have some slow songs that i like too like the more recent ai no hoshi but majority of it is still the slightly faster songs.. 7月7日 with mika agematsu is not bad too... (i wonder if mika is a KR tie or really Nana's personal friend since she started with KR anyways)

I've also wondered why she never did any arrangements before.. unless arranging and composing are two different tasks. hmm.gif

as i mentioned before... i listened to the same song for a very long time without knowing the name of the song or the singer... maybe i was able to guess the name of the song but i didn't tried to go search it...

i just got it randomly off the net back then when MP3 ID3 tagging was still kinda shitty back then as CDDB databases wasn't as well established and people had to manually key in everything when they encode it...so, i guess they just got lazy with my file i guess...

yup... that part is fun, it's a bit of a good trick to get audiences to participate...and it also takes care of the people who cannot buy or get good seatings by visiting all the fans whether they are at the back or far up...

in live circus, she went to make the rounds using super generation instead...the nicest one i think has to be given to Live Union where she did power gate again...they put fireworks while that song was sang....

yup... artistes had to use those to block out sound and ensure that it fits snugly.. it doesn't loosen as easily as as it is shaped to fit their ears... it helps that most of this units also sound very neutral and has such good separation that the artiste can here clearly her band playing as thought they are the only ones there...

i went as far a quad drivers and had to back of as it started to cost too much... did considered UE 18 Pro and Westone ES5 before but backed off at the end...

What quad driver IEM did you went for? Can't think of famous quad drivers customs for now(unless you're talking about ...

Mind sharing what custom IEMs have you heard of? hmm.gif

For me, the best custom IEM I've heard is the JH13.. and I've realized anything that costs more than that doesn't necessarily sound better.. sweat.gif

Did you back off because it was getting too expensive? unsure.gif

not a lot... among my list of better impressions in either demo units of customs in universal form or those already custom molded for someone (which is not the really the most ideal way to try anything)... UE 18 Pro, ES5, V6 (1964 ears), 2 of the JH Audio models (can't remember exactly)....

with customs, it's not about the sound signature of the units, there is also the comfort of the unit itself as some of them might have vinyl tips which is softer for long hours of listening and some other factors that affects decision making...and decision making is crucial especially because this things practically have no second hand value in market because re-shelling them is a pain and most manufacturers do not encourage transfer of ownership (warranty voids, no free re-shelling and blah blah blah making it hard to let go if you realize a wrong decision have been made)

QUOTE(yellowpika @ Oct 18 2014, 10:27 PM)

it sounds better, it is just that whether if you are trained to pickup the subtle audible differences...

and when you are that deep into that far end of the spectrum of audiophiles comes the question of "are you still enjoying music listening or are you just enjoying analyzing sonic signatures?"...

this is why short term demos and tests are useless as everything in my opinion will feel "good" at initial try because it is for

1) partly a new sensatory experience

2) your mind is tricked into thinking that maybe the items being tested is better because
2a) it is priced higher than what you own or have experience with
2b) what people says about it in reviews or conversations (which is what any new age internet enabled person would do as part of research before buying anything)... in other words, power of suggestion

so, the only way to know that your mind is not playing tricks on your short trial tests is to really perform a double blind testing in order to confirm that you know for sure out of your own conclusion that a certain item is better because you really can identify it is the superior one rather than being influenced by the power of suggestion..

QUOTE(yellowpika @ Oct 18 2014, 10:27 PM)

partly... as before that i already realized it's quite a bit of money being thrown into it (we are not talking about IEM's alone here, you have to deal with player, DAC, amplification, interconnects if you go nuts in it)

the same can be said for larger sized audio systems where normal people would just concentrate on getting the amplification and speakers right...some might go further and get the correct cables to correct or improve the sound signature... crazy ones might look into power filtering, investing in rhodium plated fuses and faceplates... even crazier ones would then go all the way out of the setup itself and hack their own house to even change the power lines to make them less resistive and get shielded from whatever EMI roaming around us and swapping out the ELCB and MCB at main electrical junctions, separating out all the other house hold items electrical circuit grid from the audio system ones...

so, i can only say it is a case of how extreme or perfectionist an audiophile you can be and how much $$$ you have at your disposal...

I haven't heard of any of UE, westone or 1964's custom demos yet..

I thought sound sig is the most important factor for customs..
As for comfort, I heard that a well-fitted custom IEM would be comfortable regardless of whether it's made of silicone or acrylic..

Perhaps you should give those more expensive custom IEMs a try(JH Roxanne and the FitEar MH335DW for example) and compare it to the JH13 which is more reasonably priced, then come back and tell me whether is there a difference in sound quality(not sound signature of course). smile.gif

And to be honest, I wasn't poisioned so much by those high end customs despite the higher price, as I felt that there wasn't much differences in sound quality when you go up the price range..
For factor 2b), I realized that what the reviewers say may differ very much from mine.. as they might hear things differently from me.

I guess I'm not really influenced by factor 2b) that much..

So in the end, we should just buy what we like. icon_rolleyes.gif

I thought custom IEMs don't have to be driven by an amp, since most of them are already pretty sensitive?
Some customs already sound extremely loud when driven directly by my smartphone.. Unless I'm missing out on something.

But you have a point there. It all boils down to how much money one has. nod.gif

i am not scolding you... i am just saying no one ever knows what they like without every finding it out one way or the other... it could be listening to a radio, a song from a TV commercial... no one knows...

QUOTE(yellowpika @ Oct 19 2014, 04:41 PM)
Hmm, for that amount of money spent I think I'd rather go for customs.. sweat.gif
customs would require even more... seriously... it's a road with no u-turn...

QUOTE(yellowpika @ Oct 19 2014, 04:41 PM)
I thought sound sig is the most important factor for customs..
As for comfort, I heard that a well-fitted custom IEM would be comfortable regardless of whether it's made of silicone or acrylic..
with customs... some sort of tuning can be done to owner preference assuming they can accurately describe what they are looking for ... that is why UE did this (Personal Reference Monitors)...

in theory, the sound is the priority of any IEM... but as you know IEMs deal with sticking a canal into your outer ear for it to work.. and it might be a bit uncomfortable to wear something that is hard for long hours of listening which is why vinyl canal tips was introduced by makers like 1964 ears... the soft canal does have it's problem as it discolors over time and stuff like that... + & - for each but as it is IEM... it is up to owners to custom it to what they feel is best for them...

QUOTE(yellowpika @ Oct 19 2014, 04:41 PM)
Perhaps you should give those more expensive custom IEMs a try(JH Roxanne and the FitEar MH335DW for example) and compare it to the JH13 which is more reasonably priced, then come back and tell me whether is there a difference in sound quality(not sound signature of course). smile.gif
fitear is bonkers... i wouldn't go anywhere near it due to it's priced... it's way too premium a kind of product in my opinion... look at it's universal TG334 and you understand why...

QUOTE(yellowpika @ Oct 19 2014, 04:41 PM)
So in the end, we should just buy what we like. icon_rolleyes.gif


there is no right or wrong.. as long as you know what you want and don't regret it...

IEM's might need amplication in some cases.. but IEMs with balanced armature drivers are typically more efficient making them able to run with most devices... how it sounds is totally another different matter...

there are several reasons why amps are involved... but the basics still revolve around your choice of listening equipment and then matching them in terms of the IEM's impedance and your listening device output impedance...it's all about a mesh of matched up components...

then amplification comes in because some people do not like or trust the amplification circuit on their output devices...so, they decide to bypass it by using the line level output and feed the cleaner signal to a better external amp... and then there are some people who goes nuts and decides that the player is only good for decoding media files and even wants to rip the digital analogue conversion responsibility away from their player (assuming it allows that to happen in the first place) and stream the digital signals direct to an external DAC and from the DAC to feed the external amp via the DAC's line out...

it's crazy once you get there and you are very likely neck deep in shit once you realized it...

being loud is not what is important about any speakers or earphones... it's about being able to reproduce sounds as they were meant to be without first distortion and second adding colorization to it...so, what sounds loud is not usually good... and listening levels should never exceed ear deafening levels...

The price is mostly due to markup(by about RM2k, which is ridiculous! shocking.gif ) by their authorized dealer here..
If there's another dealer in this region, then I guess the price would be brought down..

I've also read that one has to wait 6 months for their customs, and one can no longer order the TG334 as they're focusing on making them for the China market.. shocking.gif

I've heard of the TG334 before.. but I still prefer the JH13 more. blush.gif

I wonder how does one know his or her device output impedance(seen that phrase somewhere before).. unsure.gif

I realized that only certain customs sound loud on my smartphone.. only the unique melody and vision ears customs don't sound loud on my smartphone.
My ipad 2 also outputs volume differently than my smartphone(my SE215 sounds louder on my smartphone, when both devices are set to the lowest volume level).

I wonder why.. and is there anyway to solve this "loudness" problem? Maybe changing the player would help. hmm.gif

it feels a bit like they are trying to sell to an exclusive crowd rather than placing their products in the tried and tested crowd... you don't see it being used by many artiste except the ones outside of japan... so, there is always the big ? over your head when you decide to consider it...

not to say they are no good... but, whether it makes any sense buying it or not is really another thing.. it's just a simple case of why would i not go with the more reputable UE, JH, Westone direction ...

come to think of it i've never even swap it back once... should probably buy 2-3 more of the same one just to cope with wear and tear but then again i was poorer than i am today so oh wells.

the context behind preference is that you have judged a certain something against something else and come to realize that you prefer one over the other... is that not it? so, how are you supposed to convinced me that there is no judging at all in what you preferred?

it feels a bit like they are trying to sell to an exclusive crowd rather than placing their products in the tried and tested crowd... you don't see it being used by many artiste except the ones outside of japan... so, there is always the big ? over your head when you decide to consider it...

You meant "inside of japan".

I assume you know that "you-know-who" is using it right? brows.gif
I've tried out a few of their customs before. But I guess my budget will never allow me to buy one.. unsure.gif

QUOTE(nm7 @ Oct 20 2014, 01:22 PM)
not to say they are no good... but, whether it makes any sense buying it or not is really another thing.. it's just a simple case of why would i not go with the more reputable UE, JH, Westone direction ...
*
But what if you really like the product from those afromentioned brands?
It would also be a bonus for me if my favourite artists are using it too.. but that's not really one of the factors that would affect my purchase, as I prefer to spend within my means..

QUOTE(nm7 @ Oct 20 2014, 01:22 PM)
waat!!! minimum volume on anything i have is like no sound at all... your definition of loud might be a bit askew'ed...that or my ears are damaged beyond repair...

Maybe you should try plugging in the JH13/TG334 directly into an Xperia SL(that's my phone tongue.gif ), ensure that the volume is minimum before playing any music..

If that's not loud, I don't know what is..

But the custom IEM threads in there are pretty inactive compared to head-fi or the hardwarezone.sg forums.. and I'm pretty shy to join those forums. blush.gif

if i were to buy anything my favorite artiste wears... i have to wear the same g-string they wear too? not that i am implying she wears g-string la... but tarak logic ma.. and if i need to buy the same IEM as she has... dang... i need to own a UE11 Pro and a fitear customs at the same time leh... tats a load of money i ain't willing to blow...

for me, if they wear it...it's one of two reasons only... kena given free part of marketing exercise... or it's really a "pro" items... which i am not a "pro", so not point pretending to be a "pro"... give Quazacolt one more excuse to laugh and disrespect me only (blardy dakimakura humper mad.gif )

however much i like something... i need to know that i can buy it comfortably without having to sell off my liver or something like that only i will buy... of course nowadays there is credit card and easy payment plans la... but those are just like a devil whispering at your side saying "buy lah... buuuyyyy llaaaaaahhhhhh... i know you want it..."

i doubt any shop would loan me a pair of fitear or jh audio anythings to go sony shop to audition....

and i doubt any sony shop would loan me a not cheap phone to go head-fi shop audition earphones...

so, it's something for you to know and for me to avoid at all costs...

while you have a sony... you should get yourself a NWZ-ZX1... i saw that when it launch that time, it can play 24/192 flac files @ half the price of an AK120...and it should be able to hook up an external DAC as well which almost or i think none of the previous walkman can do before...jus being the devil here

I agree with you, that's why I think the JH13 is a better choice.. cheaper but as good as the fitear in terms of SQ(but that's subjective)..

I don't think there are any shops in m'sia with installment plans for customs.. sweat.gif

not much of an argument if you ask me.

i've been wanting to meet him since he's a friend/acquaintance of another audiophile friend i have (mainly based in Singapore now) and have some nice chat/audition/tt sessions laugh.gif
our timing just wasn't right sadly.

that said, he is filthy rich having an estimated 20-40k (very highly possibly more) on his audio stuff and afaik still not even in the workforce yet sweat.gif

Yeah, that's the thread that I'm referring to.

And in another thread, I remembered how he commented that most people into the audio hobby are youngsters now.. so he accidentally opened a can of worms by saying that(you also posted in that thread too iinm).
Then he proceeded to say that we should "upgrade" instead of "side-grading".. hmm.gif

i can understand where he's coming from though, and to be honest he does have some sound points.

trust me... you will be more than welcomed... the so called herd of "nerds" will try to reject you at first...but deep down they long for female companionship and they just can't find the balls to admit it...

you just need to go up to them and grab them by their balls and tell them to accept you or be subjected to endless audio torment (britney spears baby one more time in mp3 64kbps cbr played in endless loop via an apacer MP3 player with RM19.90 phillips ear phones)

QUOTE(yellowpika @ Oct 21 2014, 01:57 PM)
Well, my dad did say the same thing to me too. He told me to wait until I start working first before thinking of buying those things.. laugh.gif
i side with your dad on this... if someone who is working can feel the pinch... i cannot imagine where you can find the money to do it...

and with portable audio... i realize it's a completely different ball game than hi-fi / AV setups... with portable audio, owning several setups is like kinda normal.. your father will tell you something like how many pair of ears do you have... you can't use all of them at once...

but this is where those crazy b@stards are really going over the board by having several different setups to cater for different listening needs...

at the end of the day, you need to understand what you want to achieve in this game.... do you want to be equipment obsessed or do you want to enjoy music on the go... the latter actually is pretty easy to satisfy because the 1 thing i am very sure of is that the better the IEM is in term of external noise isolation.. the more you hear noises from your foot steps, cable rubbing against your shirt while you are on the move with your portable gear... and when you are on the move... i doubt you are really concentrated on listening 100%...

i started in this thinking that it's my hi-fi on the go and boy did i realize that it's not really turning out as i have imagined... it's not possible to enjoy music when you are on the move compared to being seated down and relaxed in your comfy listening room... it's hard to indulge in listening while being surrounded by other people not to mention never a place that is really serene and quiet... and when you have that good a setup.. lugging those stuff around is a chore and when you can finally sit down in some comfy place like a posh cafe... your equipment would have taken up half your table before you coffee even arrives...

so, among the few reasons i think earphones are just earphones... and they are just secondary to my sound system which is pretty immobile and i neglect a lot due to the lack of time...

QUOTE(yellowpika @ Oct 21 2014, 01:57 PM)

oh... you don't need shops to do that for you now... you just need to call the bank up and say... i want to change this purchase into a 12/24/36/48/60 month installment and they will gladly do it for you for a small fee...

then the hurting comes for 12/24/36/48/60 months to come... and worst if you start regretting what you just bought...

QUOTE(yellowpika @ Oct 21 2014, 01:57 PM)

that topic is hard to explain...

on one end of the spectrum... if you just keep going forward.. you don't really appreciate what you had...

on the other, if you keep spending money around equipment of the same grade but moving around different brands or models... you are not likely to find the improvement that you expect...

it's all about expectations at the end of the day and realizing if your plans are bringing you anywhere... learning to identify that you are dumping money into an un-necessary effort is a big part of this game...it's not to say that you should not look around for alternatives... but knowing when to stop and decide if you should focus on spending money going upwards or just stay where you are and be content with it is more important...

no one wishes to side-grade... they just do not have the means to make minute decision about spending out of their means... money don't fall on us like some people unfortunately..

trust me... you will be more than welcomed... the so called herd of "nerds" will try to reject you at first...but deep down they long for female companionship and they just can't find the balls to admit it...

you just need to go up to them and grab them by their balls and tell them to accept you or be subjected to endless audio torment (britney spears baby one more time in mp3 64kbps cbr played in endless loop via an apacer MP3 player with RM19.90 phillips ear phones)

i side with your dad on this... if someone who is working can feel the pinch... i cannot imagine where you can find the money to do it...

and with portable audio... i realize it's a completely different ball game than hi-fi / AV setups... with portable audio, owning several setups is like kinda normal.. your father will tell you something like how many pair of ears do you have... you can't use all of them at once...
*
Actually my dad also used to be into the hi-fi hobby(he had the complete setup with a CD player, speakers, pre-amp and power amp) when he was younger.. so he's quite experienced in this hobby..

He also agreed that expensive gears don't necessarily sound better), and that I should just settle for something decent(and not too expensive)..

at the end of the day, you need to understand what you want to achieve in this game.... do you want to be equipment obsessed or do you want to enjoy music on the go... the latter actually is pretty easy to satisfy because the 1 thing i am very sure of is that the better the IEM is in term of external noise isolation.. the more you hear noises from your foot steps, cable rubbing against your shirt while you are on the move with your portable gear... and when you are on the move... i doubt you are really concentrated on listening 100%...

Agree with you.. but what if I use IEMs at home.. unsure.gif

oh... you don't need shops to do that for you now... you just need to call the bank up and say... i want to change this purchase into a 12/24/36/48/60 month installment and they will gladly do it for you for a small fee...

then the hurting comes for 12/24/36/48/60 months to come... and worst if you start regretting what you just bought...

Any links for those plans? Curious to see them..

hey... i like Sony too... it's just that they are a bit overpriced on some stuff...

historically... i even owned a Sony Xperia Go... my first water and dust proof smartphone which i liked so much until the day it fell down 1 floor and and hit the ground so hard my heart fell to the ground the instant it landed...

the amazing thing was that it didn't even die or anything unlike some of my friends note or s3 that cracked their screen just by falling face flat onto the floor from no higher than waist level... i even continued using it for another 3 months as it started developing some symptoms of spasticity (actually i was just too stingy to buy another phone lar blush.gif )

i even was having high hopes for Sony's own release of the PHA-1 DAC-Amp until they announced the priced....

so, i do like sony in my own defense against your allegations...i just had to defect to the koreans because they were cheap and offered unbeatable value... my next defection would be for the chinese if it happens...

Too bad their IEMs(the XBA series) aren't that great..


They have a design philosophy for their XBA series... i am not sure about the current newer ones... but the ones that was a year or two ago, the XBA-1/2/3 & 4 was practically designed to run without crossovers in the unit themselves unlike some of their competitors within the same price bracket... they (sony) claims that they find and pair BA drivers (especially the multiple driver ones) specifically for each model so that they do not need to utilize crossovers to assign specific frequencies to each driver...

Unfortunately, this being sony means that the product especially the higher end ones like XBA-3 and XBA-4 is viewed as a bit of a farce that is too costly.. i believe some people even went as far as thinking they cut costs by cutting out the need to include a crossover in the design of this multi driver IEMs...the form factor of the IEMs is also not something to shout about as well...

you'd not be happy with this answer... i don't really have a favorite album...

i am not sure what qualifies as a favorite album by your definition... but, i'd like to say i don't have any... i just like a collection of her songs and it is spread over many albums over time...so, if you define the album with the most songs i like as the favorite album... then, i might have one...else, none...

i think it's fair to say that you can see changes from one album to the other whether in terms of production and her responsibility in each of it...you can also see the transformation of her style of music and i come to think of her albums never ever having a set trend of having the same genres of song or rhythm flow in each album...she seems to also not try to use the album to tell stories about their actual life... maybe a song or 2 from the album is about something from her actual life.... but hardly she writes an entire album based on her life at the point of writing unlike some other self composing artiste like ayu (at least i know her earlier albums are like that, later ones i didn't quite follow)

i realized it's hard to decide... the songs that are in my usual playlist or the ones i really liked are really spread over all the albums over the years...

that, being said... i think i would find a little more than 50% of the songs in the later half of her discography comparatively speaking...

to be frank, i have never really considered any favorite albums of any artistes i like because i never find an album that i can like all the songs.. and it's weird that sometimes i find some songs i didn't really like initially and it slowly grew on me while some might catch my attention immeditely... so, i usually have a picked list of songs from all the songs an artiste has and very seldom think about it in the direction of the album that it was introduced in...

and i can't make considerations based on the cover art or design of the album or any of the additional bonuses that comes with it say for example first press editions that i buy because most of my discs are left as it is the day it arrived... i have never opened up most of the disc that i bought and looked inside the CD booklet or the design of the discs before... i can only rely on people scanning it or taking pictures of it... it might have came without a disc for all i know until the one day i have the impulse to go and unwrap it...

to be frank, i have never really considered any favorite albums of any artistes i like because i never find an album that i can like all the songs.. and it's weird that sometimes i find some songs i didn't really like initially and it slowly grew on me while some might catch my attention immeditely... so, i usually have a picked list of songs from all the songs an artiste has and very seldom think about it in the direction of the album that it was introduced in...

and i can't make considerations based on the cover art or design of the album or any of the additional bonuses that comes with it say for example first press editions that i buy because most of my discs are left as it is the day it arrived... i have never opened up most of the disc that i bought and looked inside the CD booklet or the design of the discs before... i can only rely on people scanning it or taking pictures of it... it might have came without a disc for all i know until the one day i have the impulse to go and unwrap it...

try something like Aldnoah Zero OST, or basically almost anything from Sawano Hiroyuki

from very heavy mixing to even orchestra and of course vocals included; anything under the ~1k setup (depending on environment/setup scaling, such as headfi vs hifi/car audio etc) will find it hard to keep up/full reproduction.

i am just generalizing it lar.... typically at least pop would focus less on the mastering process let alone the musical arrangements... if the arrangements causes all the instruments to mesh in at the same moment... there is nothing the mastering process can do to save it...

it's just that if you are using RM19.90 phillips buds then there is no point listening to 24/192 flac files right?

there is also no point in playing some 64kbps online radio stream over a pair of focal grande utopia driven by McIntosh monoblocks also mar...

it's just good to have a taste of other music in order to appreciate what you have especially if you have some higher end gear... it's very seldom you see pop albums gets a special audiophile version of it...

like this special thing that comes with a certain first press edition of a compilation album...

who knows... Japan is still after all one of the weird oddball countries that CD sales is still romping and the only country i think still has a tower records...

so, some people purchase the physical albums not really for listening to it but rather as a collection item.. they most probably have got their hands on the digital tracks hours earlier before the physical albums...

jus sayin...

because i am retarded in catching up...

or the song didn't caught my attention on the first impression and some time down the road i find it interesting after listening to it a few more times..

it's just the same as how i watched my movies... skip front and rewind back repeatedly.. then if i find it interesting, i watch the entire movie without disrupting it's sequence... like how i watched Inception 5 times (counting the incessant skipping about) in order to understand what the movie was about..

well i settled for mid range on my headfi, so don't really need to worry about source quality too much.

personally, just play what you like and not bother about genre or trying to "utilize" your equipment. music should always come first, equipment second.

i'm quite firm on my music preference and there's no need for me to deviate away. I already lack time to enjoy my collection fully (i've got stacks of un ripped/unscanned CDs lol) much less explore around non anisong music anyways.

during gathering, i pretty much bring my own thumbdrive with a whole set of different genre music to i can get to utilize various setups accordingly smile.gif

i understood, but i'm saying we don't really need specific music just to "utilize" audio gear or generate conversation.

If you've been to enough audio(phile) meets/gath, you'll realize soon enough that we have a common language that doesn't require each other to listen to the same music. For example, If 2 person chatting over a particular track after an audition is done on a setup that belongs to 1 of the respective person between the 2, even if the person listening to a song unfamiliar to the owner of the setup he/she would still be able to convey how a setup is disregard of the music.

Of course if the need arises music are also shared and who knows you can pick up something as what you've been trying to say. It's just my preference that i got my hands full and i'm not very willing to accept anything new when i'm in constant update of "new" anime music. Imagine this: i watch about 10-20++ anime titles at any given season, per title is easily 2 singles and an OST (assuming i like it) and every season i import at least 2-3 CDs from amazon/cdjapan.

While my original intentions are never buying for the sake of buying or keeping as you mentioned, it just happened due to the number of hobbies i am actively engaged at and of course my poor time management skills laugh.gif

benefit of the doubt here is that it may not be your hearing that's unable to differentiate, as it could be your existing equipment being inadequate to perform reproduction that allows you to differentiate 320kbit and lossless.

additionally, if you're not "trained" to have analytic hearing (which may be a good thing!) that could be another cause and such "training" can obviously be done.

at least try lar... you should not be stuck to a certain something for your entire life... you are not eating plain white rice with soya sauce each and everyday isn't it?

if you can justify trying this or that earphone and headphone out ... why not music? it doesn't have to be a certain kind of genre, it can be vocals, classical, percussion and so on and so forth.. and it's not like you have to be married to it once you try it out even for once...

i have the space... so, i don't mind...

i rather keep flac files because i can convert them to MP3 at any point in time if i decide that it is wasting space sitting on my hard drives... but if i do keep the MP3 instead of the flac files now and i wanted to find a lossless file sometime in future and the links, seeds and sources all died out... it will be kinda shitty...

it's just the same reason why Quazacolt want to rip all his CDs... he might not listen to everything track on the disc but he still wants to rip it for no apparent reason...

MP3 works by cutting the bottom and top end of the frequencies off... the ones where it's arguably (by the founders of the codec) that is very hard for most people to hear...

and especially if a song which is not very complicated as in having a lot of instruments present at the same time... it doesn't degrade it as much especially if you already converted it in high bit rate... the lower the bandwidth you have on the file the more sonic details you lose on those complicated tracks....

MP3 works by cutting the bottom and top end of the frequencies off... the ones where it's arguably (by the founders of the codec) that is very hard for most people to hear...

and especially if a song which is not very complicated as in having a lot of instruments present at the same time... it doesn't degrade it as much especially if you already converted it in high bit rate... the lower the bandwidth you have on the file the more sonic details you lose on those complicated tracks....


so, you train dia lar sifu...
*
hence my point (and yours as well in previous posts) that lower equipment may not be able to reproduce said sonic details correctly.
eg:
mp3 trims anything below 40hz and above 20khz
rm100 headphone plays 40-20khz , listen to lossless, and then mp3, no difference.
but if rm1k headphone can play 5-40khz, listens to lossless, then they are very likely to discern some difference in lossy mp3 even on the max bitrate of 320kbits constant.
more so if the track is more complicated, which is very common even in today's generic pop music (of any culture/country).

and naw, i'm just a lowly disciple myself in the arts, no where near sifu level laugh.gif

I realize that most Hikki fans tend to be Nana Mizuki fans(from what I've observed in her fanblogs and j-pop forums)..

I wonder why.. maybe because both of them are contralto vocalists? hmm.gif

So the rilakkuma bear is indeed from Hikki's album and that you're a fan of her? hmm.gif

I prefer ayu more than utada though... not to mention ayu sings better live as Hikki always lowers down the key of her songs in her concerts(ayu does too, but lesser I guess?).. and she sounds out of breath in her live performances sometimes compared to Nana.. sweat.gif

i think the song is quite nice except for a few bits that sounded rather pitchy...

Sorry, my ears are quite fussy when it comes to vocals(I find her voice unbearable in heart-shaped chant too).. which is why I tend to prefer her upbeat songs more..

and i can't make considerations based on the cover art or design of the album or any of the additional bonuses that comes with it say for example first press editions that i buy because most of my discs are left as it is the day it arrived... i have never opened up most of the disc that i bought and looked inside the CD booklet or the design of the discs before... i can only rely on people scanning it or taking pictures of it... it might have came without a disc for all i know until the one day i have the impulse to go and unwrap it...

Oh, I actually also never open my CDs as well.. only have opened ayumi hamasaki's guilty album(china edition)..

I have no issues with her deeper voice.. it's just that I dislike her "higher" vocals in those songs. sweat.gif

she definitely do not have the same stamina as nana mizuki, no contest... there are numerous occasions that you nana running across stages or long runways (like happy go round after riding the elephant on power gate) back to the main stage while yelling, singing and jumping, waving... things that would most probably be taxing to anyone let alone a women (not trying to gender discriminate here, but it's just the fact)

but if you based the performance solely on wild life... then there are more than what you saw behind it other than being out of breath... or at least i think...

hikaru knows and avoids doing concerts for certain reasons...that is why she used in the flesh as a warm up for her wild life performance...which she admitted to chris peppler during her final nhk interview before she retreated into seclusion..

if you've counted all the concerts she has ever done, bohemian summer live 2000, mtv unplugged, utada united 2006 (album tour), wild life 2010 among the major released ones and those that are known to lesser extend like hikaru no.5, luv life (part of first love 15th anniversary bonus), in the flesh (only itunes distribution)...it's really not much once you put it side by side with ayumi hamasaki or even nana mizuki who has at least 1 concert per year....TV appearances are also like crap for her, you get the occasional CDTV, utaban, music station, heyx3 but that is just once in a while when she has some new single or album to release....it's jus like izumi sakai...point is, experiences helps and she lacks the practice..

and if you really watched her concerts especially the major released ones... you most probably would have noticed that she could have possibly caused (but didn't admit or talked about it) some damage to her vocal cords with the way she sang in UU2k6... i am not sure whether it was pressure from toshiba emi or the fact she wanted to get back in touch with her fans after her first stint of trying out in the US as she rarely has done any album tours prior to that or in fact after... thing is 20 odd back to back concerts + the way she was performing might have put some strain on her vocal cords and years after, it didn't seem to recover...

and that is very apparent in wild life as you can see that she is struggling to hit some notes in some songs (like towards the end of hikari).. and if you see her set list, it doesn't include any songs that are very aggressive like moving on without you or this is love which made appearances in uu2k6... her movements on stage is also very mild compared to uu2k6 where she doesn't spend time running around or having much big movements...

for me personally... wild life is a culmination of what utada hikaru essentially is over the years as a singer / lyricist / composer / arranger / producer... and in order to really understand wild life being wild life and why she did wild life or even called it wild life was to showcase her capabilities to her fans on what she devoted her lost years to... one has to really watch the making segment where a lot of things are not shown in previous concert DVDs... it clearly shows that how she progressed from a simple j-pop artiste to someone who managed to write her own lyrics to being able to compose and at later stage as matt rhodes put it come into her own in music production in terms of arrangement and the production involved behind building a song...

in reference to that part i think is a huge contrast to nana mizuki where hikaru is more involved in music making and focuses less on being a live entertainer... hence, i think concerts is not of an importance to her while nana mizuki is more on being an entertainer selling performance to her fans (speaking strictly based on views of their concerts)...hikaru is after all the daughter of a producer teruzane utada and a famous mother keiko fuji... music production runs in her blood...the only thing that is rather imperfect all this years was that her first album is still the number one most album sold in japan to date still, and that is the one where she was not involved in writing any of the music in any capacity...

p/s: did you noticed that one of her band member (the drummer) was actually also in some of the nana mizuki concert as a band member? (not a permanent fixture in cherry boys)... i think live diamond among one of the 1 or 2 concerts...

i've got thousands of rm worth of detailing products from about 5ish brands so my hands are admittedly a bit full at the moment, especially when the amount you use from any given product is so little it's almost impossible to finish them. laugh.gif

as a matter of fact, the turtle wax classic hard shell paste wax i bought for ~rm20 still got maybe 30% or more left after using it since 2009 or 2010? rofl

i would say surprisingly good.
it could be because i'm listening it from speakers/setup that cost a few cars or even a damn house (not mine, just have the privilege to enjoy some very rich relative setup as mentioned before), or the mastering/post production is damn good (touching up the imperfections, cross fade off vocal mistakes or whatever)

needless to say i enjoyed it a lot nod.gif

wild life was an ensemble of great artistes and for once she used more japanese musician than her previous concerts... only matt rhodes was retained...she even had a female guitarist by the name of junko something although not arguably as good a performer than the grey haired dude in uu2k6... but nevertheless, a female guitarist is a cool thing to have...

i've got thousands of rm worth of detailing products from about 5ish brands so my hands are admittedly a bit full at the moment, especially when the amount you use from any given product is so little it's almost impossible to finish them. laugh.gif

as a matter of fact, the turtle wax classic hard shell paste wax i bought for ~rm20 still got maybe 30% or more left after using it since 2009 or 2010? rofl
watever la... like i give a damn dude...

the mastering/post production is damn good (touching up the imperfections, cross fade off vocal mistakes or whatever)
if you want good post production and audio tracks that were not messed with... you have to look no further than mtv unplugged as that is the best (first female performer and i think the youngest at that time to perform in mtv unplugged after chage & aska yo).. only thing to regret is no HD during those times..

well you seemed passionate on miyagi detailing so i actually thought you'd actually give a damn laugh.gif

well wild life got bluray, and the hd quality is just awesome.
those close up on utada and seeing those imperfections sweat.gif

afaik on some scenes she's on no makeup or very minimal makeup.

I see.

Did you also know her through kingdom hearts(that's how I've heard of her)? hmm.gif

p/s: Just realized that her performance of stay gold(in wild life 2010) is quite decent:

i actually start to appreciate her through Evangelion "Beautiful World"
which i still time to time include in my car's cd track list (new car no usb input doh.gif )

already knew here back when i was a teenager as my friends are fans of her, jpop and all along with hamasaki ayumi, i just wasn't into jpop at all back then.
heck, i wasn't really into jpop even today unless you count anime music as jpop (which a huge majority basically is jpop i guess)

=edit=
i manually set the video you linked to max setting/definition, and TBH, it still do no justice to the bluray i've experience.
on standard definition it's just unbearable, and on max, while the image quality is still pixelated/blocky, the sound is OK (which will however pale when you have much better setup) though i did pick up some loss of detail especially on the instruments or when utada pulls some higher pitch.

now, i'm probably spoiled/privileged that i got to to experience it in some very expensive setup, but this is just to give you an idea of how things can be.
still, focus on your study for now and who knows if you get a damn ncie job and get to enjoy some really awesome setup in the future laugh.gif

i've obviously got a decent amount of bluray collections, and of course, production/mastering do vary and i would say wild life was among the best when it comes to live concert blurays.

but yea, the close ups and considering the high definition, i can practically see the pores/wrinkles on her face very clearly laugh.gif

entertain you sounds more like a service rather than buying physical medias...

and as the joker sez... if you are good at something, never do it for free..

that is why mizuki's concerts costs 7500jpy

i'll take this instead...

between the two... i will say can't compare and i like them both with equal amounts...

as i said before... mizuki is the entertainer (showmanship) that hikaru will never be and hikaru has the liberty to produce songs the way she wants it as she is given all the liberty and freedom by her record company to do whatever she wants...5 japanese albums not counting the island def jam produced ones and the ones under cubic U in the span of almost 10 years is not really gonna make anyone proud or any record company rich for that matter... in fact, i trust avex will be strangling ayumi hamasaki if she takes longer than 1 year to make an album...

not only does she have control over her songs....
user posted image
she practically gives a rat's ass about her image as well and jus let go whenever she likes it... i believe if ayumi gains anything more than 50 grams... she will be pulling her hair out...

that being said, i am not saying that nana has piss poor songs written for her... she doesn't have the liberty of slacking around and go do soul searching with her doggy until the right songs pops in her head and she is complicated by the fact that she started out not being a mainstream artiste...

she gained fans in the likes of the otaku crowd and as you know.. otakus are crazy lonely people who longed for female companion that never came... hell, anyone touching their nana mizuki poster risk possibly getting their hands chopped off...so, imagine them getting the news that nana mizuki is defecting the nerd camp and joining the mainstream elites... i bet you there will be a homicide case in tokyo that you never want to hear about...

so... they are both equally talented in their respective sense...

In terms of music(and probably vocals, except for her lives), I prefer Hikki more.. maybe because I'm more used to the mainstream type of sound. blush.gif

I wonder is it possible for both of them to duet together(or for Nana to cover her songs). hmm.gif

this is why i said it's complicated as she herself says she enjoys doing voice over work as well... which means she has to split her time in between music making and doing her voice over work...

QUOTE(yellowpika @ Oct 27 2014, 10:14 PM)
So in terms of vocals you like both of them equally?
hard to decide too...utada hikaru has that one kind of voice (except for boku wa kuma) which is more easily acceptable while still kinda unique while nana mizuki can flip and change personality at any point in time....it's like the naive / tame looking girl against the unpredictable wild cat in that respective... just like wanting a certain someone who excites you every minute you spend when you are out to have fun but coming home to someone who is level headed and mature and won't annoy you when you want to be relaxed...

on the other hand... nana mizuki sometimes over employs certain aspects of her singing prowess a bit too much like using a bit too much vibrato (maybe her enka training a big factor in that)...utada hikaru does that earlier in her career too but at some point later seems to have toned down (watch her do a rendition of yutaka ozaki's i love you in bohemian summer live 2000)

technical wise... i think nana mizuki wins hands down most probably as she has more vocal training work done most likely (i think)... it's somewhat apparent that hikaru especially in her vocal slides where she cannot transition smoothly in between very contrasting notes (if you see the making of goodbye happiness where she was trying to convey a message to the background singers on how she wants them reach into the note) among other quips about her voice... it doesn't help especially when people compare her live singing and there is even people who says that her tracks are autotuned... i believe it's utilized but not to make her vocals sound perfect but give her that almost wah wah effect like in some songs

mad.gif woi... STPM level questions la shakehead.gif i no longer a student already rclxub.gif dun make me go through this icon_question.gif

I think 7500 yen(about RM230 according to google) for a concert is still reasonable.. that's why I wonder why the tickets for NMLF+ in SG is so expensive compared to her concerts in Japan..

I've always felt that her career would be better off if she debuted as a mainstream artist(and being in a "better" label such as avex/sony) instead.. but that's just my selfish thinking..

you do realize this is a public forum, right? laugh.gif

btw YUI fan here too laugh.gif
although i only bought very few of a CDs, only from anime op/ed.

majority of japanese concerts are not tiered, it's luck dependent.
thus the *ACTUAL* price may be a lot higher as people who gotten front rows will hike up the price to people who are interested.

it's actually a very well known practice despite being scorned at.
apparently I've heard that Some smaller/fan oriented concerts on the other hand are screened/scrutinized so such acts are deterred such as verifying your house address with the address you entered when you purchase the ticket.

and yes, i would say it is your selfish thinking; No one can really predict how one would end up if they started out mainstream as supposedly it would be harsher.
who'd know if she would end up being a no name if she went mainstream.

while in anime, all it takes is a decent anime/role or a decent theme song for a popular anime and voila, ride on that momentum and you'll strike gold.
regardless of anime/mainstream, the entertainment industry is harsh and there's really no prediction of what will happen.

talking to people is like the hardest job on earth...they rather talk to themselves... they role play in their heads and talk to themselves (not like multiple personality disorder la)... that's why they are referred to as thinkers.. they jus run through shit in their head by themselves... but also bad thing because they might be lop-sided in things sometimes...

i'm quite convinced the otherwise... i've met with real introverts face to face before which is a complete rarity... trying to get them to talk is harder than getting stephen hawking to stand up by himself...

and if they do take an interest in you... your life will be dugged up turned upside down in a instant.... like a serial rapist trying to google up his next target... they will know how many tattoos you have inked on your private parts, how many condoms you have kept in your wallet even before the FBI finds out your mobile phone number...

they need immense amount of data before they can decide if they want to connect with you... in other words, what you hate... they judge (literally)...

terrifying people...

but once you get past that shit...i think they are pretty nice people to be friends with... they just need to dig so deep into you that it scares the bejesus out of you into wanting to be friends with them...

personally, you're just stereotyping.
introverts can work themselves around if they really want to survive/advance in society.

i mean, even if what you say is true, if said introvert doesn't show it (all those data/stalking/judging), would you ever know?
and would it mattered anyways considering you don't know?

it's possible that they find ways to present themselves differently... for example, the late robin williams... mara wilson wrote that her mother found him to be a strange man and very contrasting especially off screen when trying to have an adult conversation with him... almost coming off as shy... some other people consider his on screen personality as ways to hide his true nature which he kept to himself which led him to stints of alcoholism and even drug abuse... so, yes.. they might find ways to convincingly fool you if you do not look hard enough past those things like why he likes to spend time cycling and stuff like that which is minor breadcrumbs that he leaves behind...

however, it's also proven that introverts can change themselves into extroverts... it's all about the will to change if they want to change..

the process of separating either personalities involves more about how the human brain deals with the chemical reactions (dopamine / adrenalin) which leads introverts into avoiding any activities that causes the release of more chemicals into their system than what they can deal with and this is also highly dependent on each person... their characteristics through their own actions are just part of an observation done by psychologists and from there on they generalize and derive ways for the general public to assess their personality...

that is why questionnaires like MBTI and Carl Jung created tests exists to help roughly let people know which group they are in....i say roughly because it isn't scientifically accurate which is why the scoring is usually in percentage where they too understand that some people can be sitting on the fence between both personalities or veering more towards one than the other but never 100%... which is why a different term called ambivert exists today..

it's just good to know who they are and what they are so you deal with them in more appropriate ways... as i say, the worst of the lot might come off as arrogant b@stards and other things you don't usually see in an outgoing person at wrong timings... but they can be excellent friends once you bond with them the right way...

it's no different than looking at other people's chinese astrology, western astrology signs and what not... it's just another way to look at someone else and find ways to interact with this people... that's how i see it...

ask you all sorts of shit like they are a complete stalker planning how to kidnap you in the next 20 mins... because they run out of conversation topics fast...

and most importantly... constant self analyzing and constant regret over things they say....

before that.. you are an ambivert..

Hmm, that sounds very much like me.. shocking.gif

QUOTE(nm7 @ Oct 28 2014, 12:12 AM)
i'm quite convinced the otherwise... i've met with real introverts face to face before which is a complete rarity... trying to get them to talk is harder than getting stephen hawking to stand up by himself...

and if they do take an interest in you... your life will be dugged up turned upside down in a instant.... like a serial rapist trying to google up his next target... they will know how many tattoos you have inked on your private parts, how many condoms you have kept in your wallet even before the FBI finds out your mobile phone number...

they need immense amount of data before they can decide if they want to connect with you... in other words, what you hate... they judge (literally)...

terrifying people...

but once you get past that shit...i think they are pretty nice people to be friends with... they just need to dig so deep into you that it scares the bejesus out of you into wanting to be friends with them...

Sounds very much like me..

But I do admit that my personality opened up a little(according to my relatives' observations) after I took up a part time job in a bookstore after my SPM(for a span of a few months)... but I'm still a shy and timid person in life..

QUOTE(nm7 @ Oct 28 2014, 09:15 AM)
however, it's also proven that introverts can change themselves into extroverts... it's all about the will to change if they want to change..

the process of separating either personalities involves more about how the human brain deals with the chemical reactions (dopamine / adrenalin) which leads introverts into avoiding any activities that causes the release of more chemicals into their system than what they can deal with and this is also highly dependent on each person... their characteristics through their own actions are just part of an observation done by psychologists and from there on they generalize and derive ways for the general public to assess their personality...

that is why questionnaires like MBTI and Carl Jung created tests exists to help roughly let people know which group they are in....i say roughly because it isn't scientifically accurate which is why the scoring is usually in percentage where they too understand that some people can be sitting on the fence between both personalities or veering more towards one than the other but never 100%... which is why a different term called ambivert exists today..

stalking and judging is just me trying to exaggerate things... but you do feel they come off different from other people... it's generally not enough for them to peel the surface of any friendship... they have that un-dying need to know stuff because deep down they long to connect with people as well.. just not any people...

it's just good to know who they are and what they are so you deal with them in more appropriate ways... as i say, the worst of the lot might come off as arrogant b@stards and other things you don't usually see in an outgoing person at wrong timings... but they can be excellent friends once you bond with them the right way...

You seem to have a degree in psychology.. either that or you're quite experienced in life. hmm.gif

..and that bolded part sounds like me..

QUOTE(nm7 @ Oct 28 2014, 09:23 AM)
at the end of the day... it's just how people view things in life... if you think you are one, then you are... why bother what people thinks of you or even manipulate you?

ISFJs are often unappreciated, at work, home, and play. Ironically, because they prove over and over that they can be relied on for their loyalty and unstinting, high-quality work, those around them often take them for granted--even take advantage of them.

And although they're hurt by being treated like doormats, they are often unwilling to toot their own horns about their accomplishments because they feel that although they deserve more credit than they're getting, it's somehow wrong to want any sort of reward for doing work (which is supposed to be a virtue in itself). (And as low-profile Is, their actions don't call attention to themselves as with charismatic Es.) Because of all of this, ISFJs are often overworked, and as a result may suffer from psychosomatic illnesses.

she doesn't need purely anime roles... she voices other stuff too like movies, documentaries for NGC and other stuff that you never thought of...

unfortunately, those are usually watched by old people and stuff and they would not be giving more than an eye lift on who the voice actor is anyways...

"not mainstream" is very subjective in anime.
generally, to determine how successful an anime is would be to see how many episodes/season it manages to air on TV.

Airing an anime on TV takes an immerse amount of cash and as a matter of fact, only a small amount of cash goes to the actual production companies and much less the original creators.

the anime she has role in (be it main or minor/side characters) can be rather niche however needless to say if you're a truly an anime lover you'll definitely come across her almost every season and just that alone is more than enough to signify your success as an anime seiyuu.

hence if she chose to leave that path, it'll be VERY uncertain/possibly gloomy... look at our aaya rolleyes.gif
pretty much fell through the radar of late and is probably kept alive from her prominent roles such as haruhi

As for the personality test, i'm inclined to believe, however we can just leave it at that since there's no way to know what's the formula behind.

people nowadays like korea... i dunno why... maybe the dudes more hansem... the gurls more pretty... the food more hot.. and there is no nuclear disaster or radiation i think..

I prefer japanese food more than korean food though.. but I do like to have korean food once in a while as I like spicy food. hmm.gif

I think younha or BoA could be her equivalent? But they're not seiyuus though.. sweat.gif

Anyway, I went to audition the 1964 ears lineup today. blush.gif My impressions:
V8 : My favourite among all the 1964 models. Bass is really deep and punchy. Less fatiguing than the JH13 and JH16 too. thumbup.gif

V6-Stage : Treble is a little artificial sounding to my ears..

V6 : Too neutral and bass sounds too thin. Quite surprised you liked this model.. brows.gif

Qi : Bass is not bad, but the overall sound is a little bit too "congested". I think V8's bass was better.

V3 : I realized the bass sounded better when I pushed in the earpiece.. sound is not so congested compared to the Qi and slightly better treble..

In terms of ranking, V8 > V3 > Qi > V6-stage = V6

Overall, I was quite impressed with 1964 ears customs. l was actually skeptical about their offerings as some SG forummers said that JH audio, unique melody and fitear had better sound quality than this brand. hmm.gif

So it may become my potential future upgrade.. blush.gif

Yeah, amplified. nod:

What? They had a shop somewhere else last time? hmm.gif

Just take the escalators nearby cold storage, then you should be able to see the shop..

Actually I've heard the se846 quite a few months ago in jaben, didn't like it much as it reminded me of my se215's sound sig..

Since this thread has already derailed so much(again), I have a question for you:
What are your favourite songs on rockbound neighbors?

ehhhh... most speakers (that we can afford) really tak ada bass one la.. at least not something you can feel physically la....

if you really want bass - bass... then you need a sub... be it a single, dual sub setup, downfiring, front firing, side firing, single port, dual port, even a rubbish one... and subs are a very complicated matter because too much of it and it will ruin everything and too little of it... it will sound thin (for music listening lar)...

for HT setups, then it's a totally different story... if your house walls do not crack or resuscitate a dead person due to low frequency resonance... YOU AIN'T DOING IT RIGHT...

something like a paradigm sub 1 would most probably do the job right... all 1,700 watts of it with long travel bullet proof voice coils... as paradigm says... they are movers not shakers...

Yeah, it is a bit underrated.. there are some reviewers who also ranked it as their least favorite songs on the album..
underrated is an understatement.. they totally see that song no up

QUOTE(yellowpika @ Nov 3 2014, 09:41 PM)
Of course they do, if not you won't see me posting my impressions here..
ok, i admit stupid question on my part...

Sorry for the FBI interrogation again, but do you like Naked Soldier? I think it's probably the best song on the album. hmm.gif
just not as much as the others that i liked... i won't vomit blood if i am forced to listen to it per say...

the truth is... i am not...

it's really not fun if it does hit you... i had tinnitus for a short period in a minor accident which it luckily went away naturally...

if you are not taught how to deal with it... it gets very annoying, you cannot concentrate, cannot sleep and will wear you out eventually even if you sleep because your inner ear constantly send false signals to your brain even though there is no external sounds..

listening to music loudly with ear buds have been identified as one of the top causes of tinnitus...

ehhhh... most speakers (that we can afford) really tak ada bass one la.. at least not something you can feel physically la....

if you really want bass - bass... then you need a sub... be it a single, dual sub setup, downfiring, front firing, side firing, single port, dual port, even a rubbish one... and subs are a very complicated matter because too much of it and it will ruin everything and too little of it... it will sound thin (for music listening lar)...

for HT setups, then it's a totally different story... if your house walls do not crack or resuscitate a dead person due to low frequency resonance... YOU AIN'T DOING IT RIGHT...

something like a paradigm sub 1 would most probably do the job right... all 1,700 watts of it with long travel bullet proof voice coils... as paradigm says... they are movers not shakers...

I might have it, sometimes it goes away when the aircond is on(or if some other background noises are present). sad.gif

tinnitus can take any form whether it is a hum, ringing, hissing or any kind of sharp annoying noises... and you hear it throughout the day as long as you are awake... not just before you sleep... the only way to get over it is to be trained to ignore those sounds or use a white noise generator tuned to your perceived sound frequency so it covers the sound away.. tat or continue blasting your earbuds louder and drown it out...

QUOTE(yellowpika @ Nov 4 2014, 05:45 PM)
I might have it, sometimes it goes away when the aircond is on(or if some other background noises are present). sad.gif
most likely not... the easiest way to tell is to cover your ears or plug it and see if you still hear the sounds... because those sounds are in your head.. never from external...

human beings cannot tolerate total silence like being put in an anechoic chamber because they are so used to faint background noises even though they don't realize it... when you are stuffed in a silent box.... you will start hearing things you've never heard of before... like your heartbeat and stuff...

the bar has been set or rather one might be more used to listening to hikaru's voice singing first love... so, it's hard to say...you can wait for the covers album and see who covered for that particular song to get a feel of it...

she did cover other peoples song as well... if you ask me... both hikaru and mizuki both covered before yutaka ozaki's i love you before... although nana did it as a duet... it's not an easy song to replicate the original...

she also did a street fighter 2 the movie theme song in utage episode 01... one of my favorite street fighter anime songs...

i was actually referring to street fighter 2 the movie... the song came out during the ryu & ken vs bison scene...

i played street fighter in the arcade... and also super nintendo / famicom...

since we are there... you should also look into izumi sakai of zard...one of my favorites as well but no longer around... this is a mainstream artiste but has a couple of anime songs... namely the dragon ball GT theme and ending songs Don't You See and Dan Dan Kokoro Hikareteku which she written for Field of View who is in the same recording company at that time.. she also wrote a song for teresa teng's final japanese single... this woman (see, i got it right this time) is a legend in the japanese industry only to have a sad ending...

the only concert i can find on utube... what a beautiful moment



this are outtakes... with a lot of mistakes...


she even had another couple of concerts named what a beautiful memory after her passing and every concert is a sold out (imagine those nut cases going to a concert just to watch some video clips)

(dunno how to embed this in lyn)

if you want to download instead of stream..

and this is the original song sang by the man himself


i admit both of them portrayed different styles of presenting this song to the audience with hikaru seems to mimic much more closer to the original act...

why do you make it sound like her problem??? it so veird...

if she did something bad with their chips... then, that's some reason for not sponsoring her...

hey... look at the bright side of things... some blardy fool bought 500 pounds of those chips for all they care... (it could have tasted like shit and no one liked it from it's inception)... nana could have improved their sales just by being sponsored... and on an even brighter side... that fool dumped all 500 pounds of it because he could have die'ed from eating all 500 pounds of those chips and then sued them for money...

It's just that I feel like she should be getting new composers instead of relying on them all the time.. unsure.gif

I know it's not her fault...

There were some people in her forums said that there might be a possibility of not sponsoring her in the future(because of that incident), which I think is kinda illogical(like what you've said)..

I don't know if it's just me, but I'm a little bit tired of listening to their songs already.. Thank god her recent single didn't have their songs(except for blue)..

she could pick up composing or something, but that means she'd have to give up some of her entertainment/seiyuu stuff.

most of her better songs is composed mostly by them... it's the old saying that if it ain't broken, don't fix it...

if she has to change... she also has to change one of her long used lyricist as well, hibiki isn't it???.... i don't think she sees it that way...

would MAS not fly russian routes anymore after MH17 incident? i doubt so...it's still money to be made at the end of the day...

if they dun sponsor her.... that will be the end of NANA MIZUKI LIVE... you dun even need to look forward to singapore or taiwan or in any fact Japan at all... so you better hope some buffoon buys his way into a truck load of potato chips this round in order to get that alarm clock..

boss... dia sudah got composition added to her list of abilities la... super generation being the first song she composed if i am not wrong (but arranged by elements garden, so kena masuk yellowpika's blacklisted songs)...she is a also pianist... so, naturally music writing is easier and comes more natural to her...i doubt she need to give up being a seiyu in order to compose... she would most likely have in her mind how the music sounds like while she writes her own lyrics...she just needs someone to perfect it...

as for ms. utada... she has so much spare time in her hands as she has only and only one job to do which is making music... so, it is natural that she tries to do the front end and also the back end of music making which is why she is a singer, songwriter, arranger and even a director...

If you didn't know already, STPM has been revamped into semester system since 2012(I'm the second batch of this new system)..

Each term's results would be out a few months after the term exams. If a student is not happy with his/her results for that term, they can opt to resit those papers that they think they have done badly in..

As for me, I've decided to retake 2 subjects for the first semester and 3 subjects for the second semester.

For your info, the lowest grade I've obtained is a C-, which is a partial pass/fail. And that is only for one subject.. tongue.gif

WAAATTTT.... you expect to go there watch concert and then fly back straight meh... you can also go buy audio gear there ma... fitear is japanese you know???

you can go fitear headquarters and ask them to let you see nana's ear mold and then harass it all you want... the extra perks of buying fitear in japan....

then you can go stalk around in her old school... go eat nana curry... go watch some planetarium shit voiced by her... you know... those kind of stuff other than climb mount fuji and stuff...

i get really sweaty myself (high metabolism, hey at least i don't get obese despite my crazy appetite)
there are ways around that, like ear pad materials (i changed mine to those almost rm300/pair lambskin ear pads for my ad900 lol), and/or just sitting in air cond room tongue.gif

but yea ultimately that's why i prefer speakers as a whole.

IEMs/earphones (and to an extent headphones) will never move me in terms of it's soundstage/airyness, and most importantly, bass. smile.gif
take example aldnoah zero OST, even cheapo edifier C3 (at my living room, so the setup is among the worse to say the least) or entry level car audio on my Iswara also sounded/felt so MUCH better with the heart thumping bass that my mid level audiophile headphones can never provide. sad.gif

i guess the later resident evil / silent hill type of games is no longer that scary... that or people have grown used to getting shocked repeatedly...

if you really want to shit your pants playing those games... you need to play it in the middle of the quiet night, preferably with all the lights off, alone, a big window at the side in the room (even if a cat crawls past your window will make you jump up and get your head stuck in the ceiling) and volume turned onto the max...

even better if you can watch 1 round of event horizon director's cut before you start playing that game... that will make you crap your pants like you have explosive diarrhea...

i tend to find horror funny so... eh.
that's kinda why my family/friends hate watching horror with me as i tend to just lol.

well, jump scare does work, but if you're too try hard like annabelle, eventually i'd just get numb to it and lose its effectiveness sad.gif
yes, annabelle was just waaaayyy too try hard, i'd give it a 9/10 or something if it's free (and yes i get to watch for free tongue.gif), but if i had to pay, maybe 5 or 6/10.

hell, even the ending credits they still TRY to jump scare you doh.gif

it's not easy to live there permanently... especially even if you get PR status... you are never considered a singaporean...

although in recent years due to diminishing younger generation and population count.. they are trying to get more people into the country to increase the population count and the laws might be due for some changes some time in the future because of this...

furthermore, if you think of it... if your dad stayed where he is... you will most probably not have a front lawn in a landed property as you most probably do now... maybe not even a car for all you know..

there are quite a lot of expats in thailand.... the native's england is not top notch... but you can pretty much have a conversation with most people in the working circle...

so, it's no big problem for a malaysian to go over... at least food is not a problem in the first place for malaysians as we more or less eat thai food over here as well....

i am just telling you the possible outcome of buying fitear in japan in case you are interested...

even if you don't get to harass her ear molds... there might be one or two autographed posters in their HQ for all you know and you can camwhore / selfie away with it? i don't know... it might or it might not happen...

Well, I did that for her singapore concert... as I had to go back to school on Monday anyways..
*
the thing is singapore is so near it's like going downtown KL in the most extreme traffic jam possible...

i had once or twice had to travel to singapore for a full day meeting mid-week... didn't want to fly in the night before and flying in the morning before is cutting it too close... so, i drove there midnight having worked the previous day, had my meeting, went for a dinner with my colleagues and drove back that night itself all in one day... and i had to go back to work on time the next day...

so, i doubt you will do that if you ever visit anything beyond 4 figure mileage outside of malaysia...

it's not easy to live there permanently... especially even if you get PR status... you are never considered a singaporean...

That was what my dad said too..

furthermore, if you think of it... if your dad stayed where he is... you will most probably not have a front lawn in a landed property as you most probably do now... maybe not even a car for all you know..

That was his main reason for staying here(landed property and can do diy at home compared to sg)..

there are quite a lot of expats in thailand.... the native's england is not top notch... but you can pretty much have a conversation with most people in the working circle...

so, it's no big problem for a malaysian to go over... at least food is not a problem in the first place for malaysians as we more or less eat thai food over here as well....

I prefer chinese food more though. hmm.gif

I presume so... I doubt they will always change the video...

Didn't notice her yanking her dress or the broken strap for the few songs she was in her rainbow dress... Was it her top or the lower section of rainbow skirt? it seems that the rainbow skirt is held on by straps connected to the her top... but i didn't noticed it snapping or anything
