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... https://zh-tw.facebook.com/NanaMizukiLivePlus Ticketing site http://www.sistic.com.sg/ Ticket Prices (Singapore Dollar): Premium VIP $277 (*Extremely Limited) CAT1 $197 CAT2 $157 NANA MIZUKI LIVE FLIGHT 2014+ in SINGAPORE Venue:Resorts World™ Theatre, Resorts World Sentosa Date: 27th Sep 2014 (Sat) Time: OPEN 17:30PM / START 18:30PM (Singapore time) |

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... This post has been edited by nm7: Sep 30 2014, 03:53 PM |

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... QUOTE(yellowpika @ Oct 3 2014, 09:32 PM) There are even some people who sat down for the entire concert too. They should be thrown out of the concert...

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). 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. 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). Now I felt like I should have went for that instead.. |

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 ..

That's why I respect her a lot(as someone who isn't really a serious fan yet). 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/ This post has been edited by nm7: Oct 6 2014, 01:54 AM |

QUOTE(nm7 @ Oct 6 2014, 01:50 AM) Ayu @ 7 or 8, wat the hell??? I was still on old mcdonald had a farm i think... I thought it should be "possessive" instead of realistic.. 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 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... Not to forget AKB48. 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/ But there was one forummer from a J-pop forum criticising Nana for having a "cute" image despite being already 34. I have already read that blog before. I don't think that's the complete translation of her book.. QUOTE(nm7 @ Oct 6 2014, 02:03 AM) I cant admit being one as i am sure there are people in malaysia who is more obsessed with her than i am... We just happen to have a different preference then. 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... I read that the scalpers had to return the tickets(one week before the concert) to the retailer as everyone has "boycotted" them. QUOTE(nm7 @ Oct 7 2014, 02:23 PM) I saw this pic before.. she's the one near the pole on the right with the peace sign. QUOTE(nm7 @ Oct 7 2014, 03:53 PM) avex coming to singapore??? this is rubbing salt in our wound... first, AFA malaysia is f@xk off the calendar, then they get Nana Mizuki... and now this??? WAT THE FREAK IS WRONG WITH THEM!!! wat are they gonna do next? yank all the initial D arcade machines from the gaming centers?? LOL.you certainly improved the quality of life... my blood pressure just raised 3 points (which by the way is better than KLSE) 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. 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? QUOTE(nm7 @ Oct 7 2014, 04:03 PM) She's Nana's younger sister. Anyway, I wonder is it ok for me to upload the pic of the concert venue(to show you all my distance to the stage)? If it's okay then I shall be uploading it here. Here's a pic of the confetti that I picked up after the concert(try to spot Nana's "typo" » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « This post has been edited by yellowpika: Oct 11 2014, 08:09 PM |

QUOTE(yellowpika @ Oct 11 2014, 08:08 PM) Not to forget AKB48.

QUOTE(nm7 @ Oct 12 2014, 02:42 AM) you got it right, it's mika kondou.... unlike the one who pretended to be dumb... hahahaha yaeba(fang) 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... 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.. http://tieba.baidu.com/p/2798109410 QUOTE(nm7 @ Oct 12 2014, 03:03 AM) hey... they have live viewing at least... although the turn out in the cinema is a bit of a joke la... Heard that the live viewing for this concert was cancelled last minute..I also have wondered why the live viewing wasn't held in M'sia.. QUOTE(nm7 @ Oct 12 2014, 03:03 AM) those cube things where you sleep in a hole... aiyar... you not going for army training lar... dun treat yourself so bad la... you are already going for a rather expensive concert compared to those Galaxy organized Jay Chou/ Wang Li Hom/ Hebe Tien concerts in malaysia... Hahahahaha. Anyway, as I've already promised, pics: » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « |

QUOTE(yellowpika @ Oct 12 2014, 10:54 PM) I guess she can sound mature if she wants to.. she sounds quite mature in one of her radio shows. 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... QUOTE(yellowpika @ Oct 12 2014, 10:54 PM) 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). 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... QUOTE(yellowpika @ Oct 12 2014, 10:54 PM) I assume what she meant by being an "uncle" is that she is a conservative/traditional person in life.. 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... QUOTE(yellowpika @ Oct 12 2014, 10:54 PM) Don't worry too much about that. I like it when she shows off her legs too. 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...I don't think she's considered "revealing" by western standards.. 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... QUOTE(yellowpika @ Oct 12 2014, 10:54 PM) hahahaha yaeba(fang) it's called perfection in the midst of imperfection... some like it, some don't... it's an acquired taste (like beer) i guess... QUOTE(yellowpika @ Oct 12 2014, 10:54 PM) Heard that the live viewing for this concert was cancelled last minute.. 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... I also have wondered why the live viewing wasn't held in M'sia.. 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... QUOTE(yellowpika @ Oct 12 2014, 10:54 PM) it looks pretty close... |

QUOTE(nm7 @ Oct 17 2014, 05:21 PM) WOW!!! just WOW... lolz... good for you then. 但如果吃東西的口味相近就更加分 i like japanese curry too 且就算年紀比較小也OK i am just slightly younger, in fact i can celebrate birthday together with her as i am just 1 day apart... 只要身高比她高就夠了! if she dun wear 10inch high heels... i should be taller than her YAY!!!! now... i jus have to go gain mahself some RESPECT!!! i'll start with Quazacolt first as that b@stard has been disrespecting me all along... I assume that you're only 165cm tall.. QUOTE(nm7 @ Oct 17 2014, 05:42 PM) 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 and discotheque... I prefer her upbeat songs than her ballads, mostly because her vocals sound "better" in her upbeat songs.. 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.. You seem to prefer her newer songs than her older songs. QUOTE(nm7 @ Oct 17 2014, 05:42 PM) i mean i listened to the song through the PV since the actual track is not out yet... anything that is floating on the internet out there is most likely ripped from the PV anyways... actually i only Nah, only kindan no resistance has a PV, the rest don't.. the one I mentioned just now was from the "leaks"..actually... i kinda hated some of her more recent PVs.. it's like it has some gothic feel to it... those like lovely fruit is actually not bad... I think that silent bible is one of her best PVs(I like the fire effect on her arms). QUOTE(nm7 @ Oct 17 2014, 05:42 PM) i don't always have lossless files of hers... only when i can find it on places like jpddl or jpfiles... Your rig looks great..i do have a stereo set at home powered by a marantz ki pearl lite (not really the setup to listen to this type of songs)... but, i do most of the listening in my car anyways... when i am not in my car, then it would be my phone or mp3 player through my IEMs... Most of the time I would be listening through my PC speakers or IEMs.. |

QUOTE(yellowpika @ Oct 17 2014, 06:26 PM) powergate is old and it's one of my favourites... infact, it's the first song i listened to of hers...another first i remember was Super Generation, first song she did the lyrics and composition if i am not wrong... she never did arrangements still though... i think that is the next step for her to be a more complete artiste... QUOTE(yellowpika @ Oct 17 2014, 06:26 PM) Nah, only kindan no resistance has a PV, the rest don't.. the one I mentioned just now was from the "leaks".. you scared the living crap outta me... i thought i missed something and went googled the hell out of those missing PVs...QUOTE(yellowpika @ Oct 17 2014, 06:26 PM) Your rig looks great.. not really... QUOTE(yellowpika @ Oct 17 2014, 06:26 PM) people are willing to shell out for IEMs nowadays compared to back then... having a pair of sub 500 IEMs or cans i noticed is kinda of a trend nowadays... |

I heard that she only wears 10cm heels at most.. which would mean she would be around 162cm with heels on. So I guess you should be around 170cm.. QUOTE(nm7 @ Oct 17 2014, 07:05 PM) powergate is old and it's one of my favourites... infact, it's the first song i listened to of hers... How did you get to know power gate? another first i remember was Super Generation, first song she did the lyrics and composition if i am not wrong... she never did arrangements still though... i think that is the next step for her to be a more complete artiste... I had fun singing those parts in her SG concert.. she even asked the males, females and live viewing audience to sing along those parts I've also wondered why she never did any arrangements before.. unless arranging and composing are two different tasks. QUOTE(nm7 @ Oct 17 2014, 07:05 PM) you scared the living crap outta me... i thought i missed something and went googled the hell out of those missing PVs... Sorry, I was talking about the rest of the songs on the single..QUOTE(nm7 @ Oct 17 2014, 07:05 PM) not really... There are also custom IEMs too.. which are used by artists on stage.. but that's under another league. people are willing to shell out for IEMs nowadays compared to back then... having a pair of sub 500 IEMs or cans i noticed is kinda of a trend nowadays... I'm eyeing on getting one of those, but my wallet is not ready yet as I'm still a student.. |

QUOTE(yellowpika @ Oct 17 2014, 08:35 PM) I had fun singing those parts in her SG concert.. she even asked the males, females and live viewing audience to sing along those parts 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.... QUOTE(yellowpika @ Oct 17 2014, 08:35 PM) There are also custom IEMs too.. which are used by artists on stage.. but that's under another league. 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'm eyeing on getting one of those, but my wallet is not ready yet as I'm still a student.. 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 ...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... Mind sharing what custom IEMs have you heard of? 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.. Did you back off because it was getting too expensive? |

QUOTE(nm7 @ Oct 19 2014, 02:41 AM) Sorry, I was lazy to google up the units, but I already know that 10 inch definitely doesn't sound right for a high heel shoe(I know an inch is roughly about 2cm..)..

UE 18 Pro, ES5, V6 (1964 ears), 2 of the JH Audio models (can't remember exactly).... I haven't heard of any of UE, westone or 1964's custom demos yet..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) 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.. QUOTE(nm7 @ Oct 19 2014, 02:41 AM) it sounds better, it is just that whether if you are trained to pickup the subtle audible differences... 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). 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.. 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.

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. |

QUOTE(nm7 @ Oct 20 2014, 12:07 PM) not really... it's just that it offers something a little different and i actually do feel like having something poking my ear canal when wearing others... it could be possible that it wasn't customized to fit me... You mean 1964 is expensive..? But it is already considered "reasonable" among all the other customs.. even if that is not the case... still no... dang expensive... QUOTE(nm7 @ Oct 20 2014, 12:07 PM) other than Jaben... SG do have another one retail head-fi outlet... and it's quite big which i have visited before in ion orchard... You meant Stereo? that box means ka-ching on your wallet... not good news.... QUOTE(nm7 @ Oct 20 2014, 12:07 PM) V6 would be enough already... there is one guy by the name of JoshuaChew (and a couple of other custom IEMs) in LYN who has the V6 and he did a review on it if you are interested... I have read his review quite some time ago..however much cheaper it gets... it's still a bit crazy... it's like the shure 846 that i will never consider buying... fitear might be good, but it's not yet worth drooling over yet... something a bit more practical might be better.. I also read reviews on head-fi as well. But I prefer to trust my own ears than reading reviews wor.. Will give the V6 a try when I have the chance to.. "not yet"? QUOTE(nm7 @ Oct 20 2014, 12:07 PM) What I mean is, the earphone sounded extremely loud even on my smartphone's minimum volume(when I turn it down it would be "mute" already).. Anyway, since we're already off-topic, here's some interesting videos to watch: http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x281zcp_%...0-16_shortfilms http://www.kkbox.com/tw/tc/column/interviews-46-529-1.html |

Honestly i don't blame him, he is rich after all and when you're so high up, often you tend to miss the rough, finer things down below. |

QUOTE(yellowpika @ Oct 21 2014, 01:57 PM) But I feel paiseh as I'm a female(which is a rarity in this hobby).. 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) That's right. google... where else?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.. 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) I don't think there are any shops in m'sia with installment plans for customs.. 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) What phone are you using? some cheap samsung unfortunately... i hate phones... they give me brain cancer...and everytime it rings, i feel a sense of impending doom...QUOTE(yellowpika @ Oct 21 2014, 01:57 PM) Why suddenly bring the ZX-1 in..? i thought you sony fan mah...i myself have a cheap walkman (can't remember wat series) that i use during exercise... i bought it because it's white in color (lame move on my part)QUOTE(yellowpika @ Oct 21 2014, 01:57 PM) There's not much money left in my bank account now, especially after spending so much to attend NMLF+.. best not to indulge in the un-necessary for now...QUOTE(yellowpika @ Oct 21 2014, 01:57 PM) Then they should at least share their listening impressions.. if they have something worth sharing in the first place that is... |

QUOTE(Quazacolt @ Oct 21 2014, 02:42 PM) maybe graduated this/last year kot? prior that i'm pretty sure he's still studying/traveling with parents. Yeah.. not cheap for sure. been a while since i've poked him/those guys at Singapore after all, since they are way out of my league in the gear they play. the 2.5-2.6 currency disadvantage puts a lot of stress on me/my pocket as well lol. then there's the interest shift into being an adrenaline junkie but yea, see his listing? try to sum up the price i see you've been lurking there for a very long while? i can understand where he's coming from though, and to be honest he does have some sound points. i personally hate sidegrades as well, and often gets judged by many for my spendings simply because i just want to "do things once do it right". Honestly i don't blame him, he is rich after all and when you're so high up, often you tend to miss the rough, finer things down below. Adrenaline junkie? Yeah, I've been lurking there for long while. No wonder he can spend so much money on this hobby.. nm7 Here are some interesting videos that you can watch(I find the voice acting parts interesting https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tdp_cdvzEB0 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BqQ6GWn5d5U And by any chance, are you watching Cross Ange now? |

QUOTE(yellowpika @ Oct 21 2014, 02:24 PM) Then he proceeded to say that we should "upgrade" instead of "side-grading".. 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..

QUOTE(yellowpika @ Oct 21 2014, 10:39 PM) 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... QUOTE(yellowpika @ Oct 21 2014, 10:39 PM) How harsh and sarcastic of you.. jus saying it for your parent's investment... i could care less about your future employer though...if you feel pain to invest 4 figures into a pair of earphones... imagine bringing up a kid... it's practically a ferrari going out the window the moment it exits your womb... QUOTE(yellowpika @ Oct 21 2014, 10:39 PM) Anyway, since we're already getting out of topic again, mind sharing what are your favourite albums from Nana? 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) |

But it's very difficult for me to appreciate classical music leh.. QUOTE(nm7 @ Oct 22 2014, 03:30 AM) i don't deny being sarcastic... being sarcastic is fun especially it's the one thing i cannot practice in real life without getting into more trouble than i can afford to... It's ok as I had fun conversing with you in this thread.. i can only apologize if you are offended... QUOTE(nm7 @ Oct 22 2014, 03:30 AM) 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... I only found the XBA-3 and XBA-4 worth listening to(mostly because of the bass).. but those two are too costly as you've said.. The newer ones are of the hybrid type.. QUOTE(nm7 @ Oct 22 2014, 03:30 AM) if you feel pain to invest 4 figures into a pair of earphones... imagine bringing up a kid... it's practically a ferrari going out the window the moment it exits your womb... QUOTE(nm7 @ Oct 22 2014, 03:30 AM) ..if you define the album with the most songs i like as the favorite album... then, i might have one...else, none... So what album is it? I wanna know.. For me it's alive & kicking.. QUOTE(nm7 @ Oct 22 2014, 03:30 AM) ...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 wonder is that a good or bad thing...So did you like her recent single so far? |

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...

QUOTE(yellowpika @ Oct 23 2014, 10:43 AM) try something like Aldnoah Zero OST, or basically almost anything from Sawano Hiroyukifrom 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. |

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... |

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 |

So if my interpretation is not wrong, you mean we should accept suggestions from other people(to listen to other artists' music)? QUOTE(nm7 @ Oct 23 2014, 01:57 PM) I can never hear the differences between 320kbps MP3 and lossless.. so I don't see any point in wasting my hard disk space for lossless..QUOTE(nm7 @ Oct 23 2014, 01:57 PM) Conversely, blue is my least favorite track(her vocals in the chorus is kinda grating..)..QUOTE(nm7 @ Oct 23 2014, 01:57 PM) does it? maybe i have not listened to ayumi hamasaki for a long time.. it does sound a bit eurobeat'ish though... The song sounds a little like ayumi hamasaki's glitter... And it is also one of her better cute songs(better than dramatic love).. |

QUOTE(yellowpika @ Oct 23 2014, 08:17 PM) Maybe it's not too much for me to hope for a duet between both of them.. it's not too much... just not likely to happen....QUOTE(yellowpika @ Oct 23 2014, 08:17 PM) Is that from Hikki? yes, rather unfortunately... So you're also a Hikki fan eh.. on one side we have a workaholic... and the other side... we have a slacker who constantly goes on holidays.. veird contrast... QUOTE(yellowpika @ Oct 23 2014, 08:17 PM) Potong stim lah like that... won't you be spoiled by the "spoilers"? unfortunately... i am a very impatient person... QUOTE(yellowpika @ Oct 23 2014, 08:17 PM) So if my interpretation is not wrong, you mean we should accept suggestions from other people(to listen to other artists' music)? 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... unless you have as little time as our buzy bee Quazacolt here... take a dump also no time that type... than i got nothing else to say lah... QUOTE(yellowpika @ Oct 23 2014, 08:17 PM) so I don't see any point in wasting my hard disk space for lossless.. 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... QUOTE(yellowpika @ Oct 23 2014, 08:17 PM) Conversely, blue is my least favorite track(her vocals in the chorus is kinda grating..).. why i think the song is quite nice except for a few bits that sounded rather pitchy...

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....

QUOTE(nm7 @ Oct 24 2014, 11:43 AM) 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... hence my point (and yours as well in previous posts) that lower equipment may not be able to reproduce said sonic details correctly.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... 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 |

I wonder why.. maybe because both of them are contralto vocalists? So the rilakkuma bear is indeed from Hikki's album and that you're a fan of her? 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..

QUOTE(nm7 @ Oct 22 2014, 11:02 PM) 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).. My YUI's green garden pop and orange garden pop albums have yet to be opened until today.. |

QUOTE(yellowpika @ Oct 27 2014, 10:14 PM) SPM add maths is rather easy for me(got an A+ for it).. QUOTE(yellowpika @ Oct 27 2014, 10:14 PM) I kinda expected that answer.. it's like strawberry and chocolate sundae... both is equally good and have it's own specialty and i wish to eat both if possible... not just allowed to only taste 1 flavor.. it's not like they are going to me my wife right? so monogamy is most certainly not in the question at all from the beginning... QUOTE(yellowpika @ Oct 27 2014, 10:14 PM) 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.. 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 i jus wanna enjoy music |

QUOTE(yellowpika @ Oct 27 2014, 03:24 PM) How did you discover this thread? you do realize this is a public forum, right? I'm a fan of YUI too. Too bad I prefer her solo stuff more than her flower flower stuff... 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.. btw YUI fan here too 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. |

QUOTE(nm7 @ Oct 28 2014, 05:42 PM) QUOTE 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. |

QUOTE(yellowpika @ Oct 28 2014, 04:58 PM) I wondered have you read this before? http://jpopmuseum.wordpress.com/2009/06/12...stream-and-etc/ that article was quite long ago... i remember it for giving their dancing the stick... there isn't really a point to the article because it didn't have any constructive suggestion on how to get around the problem... it still revolves around nana going either ways will will possibly offend her original fans or get stuck in no man's land... QUOTE(yellowpika @ Oct 28 2014, 04:58 PM) Don't tell me you did STPM too... nah... i skipped that shit.. too stupid to ever get pass it... my SPM cert is already fantastic looking... i doubt my STPM cert would have more than 2 lines of subject results (STPM also only pass will show on cert right?)My exams are in a week time.. good luck in your exams... QUOTE(yellowpika @ Oct 28 2014, 04:58 PM) For real.. yeah... that gurl is bonkers... hope she jus dun go down the same route as her mother though... there even was a play on this cover for first love... they Photoshopped in a shaver and shaving cream around her face... couldn't find it on the net though.. ![]() QUOTE(yellowpika @ Oct 28 2014, 04:58 PM) But nana mizuki really lacks of a decent anime role.. you don't see her voicing in all those famous anime series(say gundam) compared to someone hirano aya.. 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... QUOTE(yellowpika @ Oct 28 2014, 04:58 PM) You seem to have a degree in psychology.. either that or you're quite experienced in life. if i have a degree in psychology.. a lot of shit will happen... my life sucks...literally... QUOTE(yellowpika @ Oct 28 2014, 04:58 PM) but I'm still a shy and timid person in life.. there will be a time where you might let loose and i dunno wat will happen... you're still young... many more years to go... worry about those stuff later...

QUOTE(Quazacolt @ Oct 28 2014, 06:26 PM) also are you serious on that? What I mean is that she didn't get any main characters or at least a prominent character in most of the anime series..http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/encycloped...ople.php?id=436 please tell me anime like nanoha (although i didn't watch myself), old FMA, naruto aren't decent rofl you may or may not have watched those titles, however others do and they are pretty big hits. IINM, she only voiced as a minor character in FMA, hinata in naruto(which is pretty minor too), and nanoha isn't really that "mainstream" compared to other shounen series(though she is voicing the main character)..

Nah, I just shared the same result as you in the personality test lol 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 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. |

V8 : My favourite among all the 1964 models. Bass is really deep and punchy. Less fatiguing than the JH13 and JH16 too. 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.. 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. So it may become my potential future upgrade.. This post has been edited by yellowpika: Oct 31 2014, 09:58 PM |

But really, I think the SE215 sounds really similar to the SE846.. maybe only about 20% improvement in sound(unless my ears are wrecked).. not really a good upgrade candidate for me..

DAMMIT!!!and for general knowledge.. .she is a personal good friend of utada hikaru... reportedly goes out for drinks at gay bar districts together during free time (according to japanese paparazzi's la) QUOTE(yellowpika @ Nov 4 2014, 11:00 PM) 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... http://www.tudou.com/programs/view/lL5JrAnn8Wg This post has been edited by nm7: Nov 5 2014, 10:52 AM |

QUOTE(nm7 @ Nov 5 2014, 12:49 AM) that is up to that person la... it's a problem of accountability at the end... if you choose an audiologist and they didn't do it correctly (due to specifications by the CIEM maker)... then you are accountable for yourself la... As in they say the procedure would be dangerous if it's done by someone who is not an audiologist..if you choose jaben... all guns will point back at them... And I heard some people said that the ear impression process is a painful one(my pain threshold is pretty low).. so I dunno whether should I still consider customs or not(maybe I should just take the risk QUOTE(nm7 @ Nov 5 2014, 12:49 AM) like safely as in reaching them or reaching them in one piece? Both.as for whether ordering yourself saves any money or not i am not sure because there are factors like currency exchange that fluctuates, shipping charges, and also the big problem of customs tax which is not very consistent... Noted.. QUOTE(nm7 @ Nov 5 2014, 12:49 AM) and for general knowledge.. .she is a personal good friend of utada hikaru... reportedly goes out for drinks at gay bar districts together during free time (according to japanese paparazzi's la) You seem to know a lot about miss utada.. QUOTE(nm7 @ Nov 5 2014, 12:49 AM) 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... I have to go and find utada's cover of I love you then.. dunno where to find it though. she also did a street fighter 2 the movie theme song in utage episode 01... one of my favorite street fighter anime songs... http://www.tudou.com/programs/view/lL5JrAnn8Wg I don't know about that song at all, but I did watch her cover of it before on that show. Street fighter was also one of the first video games that I've played on the PC too.. how nostalgic.. |

QUOTE(yellowpika @ Nov 5 2014, 03:05 PM) You seem to know a lot about miss utada.. i am a beaver... i dig and tunnel... there are lots of little things that people might or might not know... like she broke her rabbit tooth in half from a drunken ordeal...you realize that in later years her left rabbit tooth is much more straighter than it was originally because she got it fixed... QUOTE(yellowpika @ Nov 5 2014, 03:05 PM) I have to go and find utada's cover of I love you then.. dunno where to find it though. it's on bohemian summer live 2000... somewhere 3 quarter of the way into the disc... and she hiccuped on the song and had to start all over again... QUOTE(yellowpika @ Nov 5 2014, 03:05 PM) Street fighter was also one of the first video games that I've played on the PC too.. how nostalgic.. 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) This post has been edited by nm7: Nov 5 2014, 06:13 PM |

here is utada hikaru's rendition of i love you in bohemian summer 2000
the rest of the clips available here http://raul-kun.blogspot.com/2011/06/utada...er-concert.html this is mizuki's version in a duet with her old classmate in music fair... http://vk.com/video-50746834_165298561 (dunno how to embed this in lyn) http://nanamizukitvtreasurechest.blogspot....u-tsuyoshi.html 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...

QUOTE(nm7 @ Nov 11 2014, 09:55 PM) 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.. QUOTE(nm7 @ Nov 11 2014, 09:55 PM) hey... aim higher lar... go for the final concert in japan...

QUOTE(yellowpika @ Nov 12 2014, 06:59 PM) 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 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. 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. |

Is it really that terrible at those two countries? but, if you know some singaporean friends... then you'd know that they somehow have some form of deep down hatred towards the country we malaysians hold so high up above us... i cannot put my finger on it whether if it is the hardship they have to endure in affording a descent living place or how they have a lot of restrictions in place not allowing them to do a lot of things we malaysians can do legally or illegally... once a year or two back when i was having dinner with my singaporean colleagues (during the period of the last election)... they told me that how good it is that our country election have so much hoo-haa going on and i was like in other words... we see them good and they see us good....

QUOTE(nm7 @ Nov 12 2014, 10:44 PM) 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... i tend to find horror funny so... eh.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... 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 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 hell, even the ending credits they still TRY to jump scare you |

QUOTE(nm7 @ Nov 12 2014, 10:35 PM) let's not talk about hong kong first... singapore as a country i believe is really fantastic... if you like to live an orderly life... in return you get very good security and being treated i think quite fairly and equally compared to some countries... You have a point there. That's why my dad said he doesn't want to settle down in singapore(even though he had held PR status there last time)..but, if you know some singaporean friends... then you'd know that they somehow have some form of deep down hatred towards the country we malaysians hold so high up above us... i cannot put my finger on it whether if it is the hardship they have to endure in affording a descent living place or how they have a lot of restrictions in place not allowing them to do a lot of things we malaysians can do legally or illegally... once a year or two back when i was having dinner with my singaporean colleagues (during the period of the last election)... they told me that how good it is that our country election have so much hoo-haa going on and i was like in other words... we see them good and they see us good.... QUOTE(nm7 @ Nov 12 2014, 10:35 PM) then you should go thailand or australia... Is it possible to work in thailand if one doesn't speak the language there? i know many a years back that my friend told me it is a norm to catch a nap after lunch hour in most thai offices... don't know if this stuff is still in practice... oz should be out for me as I heard that there's no night life there.. QUOTE(nm7 @ Nov 12 2014, 10:35 PM) it's just the same as those hong kies who left everything pre-97 to go to vancouver and then come go back many years later... hongkies are opportunists... they did that 'cause they thought that hong kong would become "backward" once it's taken over by china.. only to find out that hong kong still remains prosperous after that. And that's why they returned to hong kong.. QUOTE(nm7 @ Nov 12 2014, 10:35 PM) I would have to think twice before purchasing it.. since it's a lot of money involved..QUOTE(nm7 @ Nov 12 2014, 10:35 PM) Then why you asked me that question?Or you're just sayin' things.. QUOTE(nm7 @ Nov 12 2014, 10:35 PM) watever it is... i don't think you'd just hop off -> concert -> hop on -> back home??? Well, I did that for her singapore concert... as I had to go back to school on Monday anyways..it's jus nuts if not wasting your air ticket... |

QUOTE(yellowpika @ Nov 12 2014, 11:36 PM) You have a point there. That's why my dad said he doesn't want to settle down in singapore(even though he had held PR status there last time).. 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.. QUOTE(yellowpika @ Nov 12 2014, 11:36 PM) Is it possible to work in thailand if one doesn't speak the language there? 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....

Or you're just sayin' things.. 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... QUOTE(yellowpika @ Nov 12 2014, 11:36 PM) 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... |
