Has anyone else seen the first ep. of Liar Game second season? I found an uploader online… actually, he/she uploaded the ep. to YouTube in six parts. I compiled them into one video if anyone cares to download hassle-free, with iTunes tags and all!! iPod/iPhone ready version. Japanese only. I am very very grateful to this uploader. The recording was infinitely better than my own screen capture -_- Besides… I thought the episode was awesome! I loved that Ryo girl… I don't know why… O_O

Hello, I've noticed how there seems to be no source for lyrics on older capsule songs. wtf, right? Just because we like the older songs (older CAPSULE sons) doesn't make us good targets for discrimination. Well, enough of that. In both ways. I have ordered Haikara Girl and I will be getting my copy on the 27th, if all goes well (by which I mean, unless a terribly tragedy occurs). Go Mitsuwa! I made a phone call, asked the lady to order the CD and she did, then I called back to ask for a hold to be placed until I actually go to Chicago. Well, the older capsule albums had lyrics, right? And even if you can't read ALL the kanji, since there isn't that much vocoder you can make out some of the readings from listening to the songs, especially with lossless files. See where I'm getting at? Yes, I will be posting the lyrics to the whole album right here. Kanji and romanized. Okay, so I'll probably make a new account/a community for this. But still. I am doing this partly out of love for you guys but mostly because I am highly frustrated at how you cannot find that many capsule lyrics (the only known ones in HG are Sakura? Really?) and wish to fix that problem, at least partly!! XD So, even if I will get my copy on the 27th, I will be in Chicago that whole weekend (aka no internet access and no time to post all that, not to mention typing out the lyrics on my iPod touch would be a pain). Therefore, I promise to have them all by December 5th. I can promise no earlier than that, although I will work hard so that I do finish before then. I hope you will enjoy them!

I'm back! (-ish.) Anyways, I'm bored. Umm, well! I've been thinking lately about vocoder a LOT. And I've been wondering just what KIND of vocoder would be good. I've also been wanting to buy quite a bit of music, and so now my dilemma is… to iTunes or not to iTunes? Really, a 3000¥ gift card only goes for 20 songs, if that, by which I mean that you would need 20 150¥ songs. And there, as you see, lies the problem. What happens to the MEG fan? (Not that I am super into MEG, but beside the point that I like some of her music and expect to like a lot more if I listened, I want Nakata to get his royalties…) Assuming you buy ONE MEG song (MEG+Nakata, at any rate) you cut off the productivity of your 3000¥ card. Eh? Well, yes. If you subtract 200¥ from your card, that leaves you with only 2800¥. Can you spend the rest of your card on 150¥ songs and have nothing left over? Why, NO! You could only buy 18 songs now, for 2700¥. Add the 200¥ from your MEG song, and you have spent 2900¥. That leaves you with 100¥!! FIFTY FREAKING YEN away from another song! And then you can only get 19 songs. All right, all right, so what's one song less? Without going through the whole explanation of the math, let's add in one MEG song at a time until I DO get a round number of 150¥ songs. | MEG songs | 150¥ songs | Total songs | Money left in card | | 2 | 17 | 19 | 50¥ | | 3 | 16 | 19 | 0¥ |
Let's keep going, for the sake of keeping me occupied (I've no one to talk to). | MEG songs | 150¥ songs | Total songs | Remaining money | | 4 | 14 | 18 | 100¥ | | 5 | 13 | 18 | 50¥ | | 6 | 12 | 18 | 0¥ |
Now I won't be bothered into actually doing the math on a calculator, by the way. I can see the pattern well enough, and shall continue. | MEG songs | 150¥ songs | Total songs | Remaining money | | 7 | 10 | 17 | 100¥ | | 8 | 9 | 17 | 50¥ | | 9 | 8 | 17 | 0¥ | | 10 | 6 | 16 | 100¥ | | 11 | 5 | 16 | 50¥ | | 12 | 4 | 16 | 0¥ | | 13 | 2 | 15 | 100¥ | | 14 | 1 | 15 | 50¥ | | 15 | 0 | 15 | 0¥ |
All right, so in the worst of all cases, you get 15 songs and have 100¥ left over. "Ha!" one might say. "What's 5 songs and 100¥ lost?" Easy to say, I suppose, when you aren't the one wanting to buy 138 songs worth 23,850¥ total, I guess. So further with my math. I'd need to buy EIGHT CARDS worth 3000¥ each to buy all these songs. Yes, well. Guess what? I wouldn't use that eighth card. No, really. Eight cards buy you 24,000¥. I'd use most, but there would still be the matter of that extra 150¥ song I could buy. What the crap! that is called IRONY. Assuming I eventually got all those cards, what song would I buy? Really, I already got everything I wanted here. Maybe I could get that Clazziquai Project mix of a MEG song? Oh wait… that one's 200¥. Forget about buying mu… HEY! Maybe I could buy music videos (and more cards) to offset that. Maybe. All right, I have all the capsule music videos I can get. I have the FLASH BEST DVD (legally purchased, ftr) and the two capsule PVs on iTunes are in there. So we go to MEG (crap, forgot to switch back to iTMS Japan after I put those $15 in my US account… and more irony! another card!). I could buy HEART, MAGIC, PRECIOUS, BEAUTIFUL, FREAK nakata mix, and possibly OK. Okay, so that's one more 3000¥ card to pay 2250¥. That makes 750¥. Slightly more useful, since in this way I could buy… hm, three more MEG songs (maybe from Journey?). And then… GAHHHHH THAT FREAKING 150¥ SONG!!! lol. Hey, I was entertained in the boredom of the math of the iTunes card scam. Always getting more money out of you that they pay you back *shakes head.* So much for offsetting. Oh well (^-^) Now here I go to make me some icons (I'll share! don't worry!) *insert collective sigh of relief from the little yet extremely polite/patient audience*

Silence is just beautiful sometimes. Really, really beautiful. Just mix is a healthy dose of music, and you're all good- but no talking. Very beautiful thing. I learned that the hard way today. ※mood: Sleepy quality; dreamin dreamin ※music: 鈴木亜美 - TEN |

I will try to do this once a week, with answering these questions. I might add/remove/merge/edit them over time, but this is pretty good for a journal (for now).

Well, hello. I've done some changing to my layout and now you can barely read the entries, if at all. I do plan to change that tomorrow, by the way. I've taken up reading 光とともに…自閉症児を抱えて again. I feel like my Japanese reading is a lot faster (maybe reading those MEG lyrics helped? I can read all of the SKIN, WHY, and almost all of BEAUTIFUL -there is some Japanese-). I realized that I can watch Fuji TV with KeyholeTV, so, uh.., I'll be watching Liar Game at the same time as those in Japan. I will just have to wake up a little earlier than 6 on Tuesdays to watch. So I will double my efforts to learn and understand!! (Actually, I will put forth effort to RECORD them for playback/translation each week.) I should try to post in Japanese, shouldn't I?日本語を練習しなきゃ・・・ 日本語で書いてみたい Posted via LiveJournal.app. ※music: capsule - FRUITS CLiPPER, retro memory; 中田ヤスタカ - Wonders of the World |

As another little side project: My mother is making a virtual art expo- and I'm doing the background music. Just some beat and bass. I would love to do something between I'm feeling you and SLEEPING GIRL [I love this song too much], but I have neither the skill or the equipment. So I will make something simple... made a little demo today. So far so good. Lately I use GarageBand very much... maybe I will become a good user. Ha. (I doubt I will, but I do have ny fun.)

Well, hello. First and most important in my life right now: WOOT LIAR GAME SECOND SEADON AND MOVIE!!!! I am super excited, not the less because of the soundtrack. Actually I am now listening to the first season OST (except for The Force of Gravity and Dizziness, which I do not have yet, but I am determined to get the OST album). Thanks to Liar Game, I learned that 決 can be read けつ! XD As you can see... I have really changed up my journal style... More changes coming actually. I mean the background picture isn't customized, and, well... I like customized... truth be told. Status on the mini-album: Two songs (out of seven) are officially done. I was working with Crystal to make me a nice-sounding synth for the third song (I am also working with vocals as an instrument on that track^^). The project is nice, but I must admit that whenever I change my running countdown of dates, the only one I am sad/stressed to see get closer is the release/deadline date that I set for myself (2009.12.15). YouTube release, for the record. I am also in the middle of remodeling my website (TAR... the link is up there for a very inconsistent website if you want to see). I need to finish that!! XD My other project: design a house with a lot of 1000000 square feet (which is unrealistically large, but the challenge is how to effectively use the space, and yes I am having fun). This is hindering my progress on the mini-album, but hey... I have more talent for this kind of thing, lol. I am a graphics worker and the music I make is listenable but not, er, marketable (that is an accurate word in this case... very accurate). I should actually sleep right now (I have school tomorrow -_-) but I will probably get back this week. Happy birthday to Toda Erika!!! (even if her birthday is over for HER, over here is still 8.17...) Thank you for entertaining me to death as Kanzaki Nao <3 ※music: Nakata Yasutaka - Liar Game OST album |

Yes, school is nice, very nice. Well, anyway, point is, *I have done nothing and I shouldn't be posting* I have officially decided that I will make a mini-album (of 7 tracks) by December 15. Reasonable goal, though I might have to extend my deadline by a couple of weeks. Don't expect any quality, although I will post when I'm done. One track done, by the way. An intro track. I also think I am going to redesign my page. This layout is nice, but, well, change is even better. And so, I update my page.

Hello, Well... yes, school again this Monday -_- I am very lazy and I cannot volunteer my mornings anymore!! Anyway, all is good. I am in love with the FLASH BACK live mix!! (listening to the original right now actually). However I do want a mixi account, and you need to have an invitation -_- If anyone does have an account, I would highly appreciate an invite =) I feel so TIRED lately, like you have no idea. Very very tired. I have been watching Liar Game and also reading the manga. Very good stuff, especially the drama. But if you read the manga you have to listen to the OST while doing so. I really like how the people making the drama put the right songs (and sfx) in the right place. Very nicely made. I am so sorry, I am falling asleep as I type (for no good reason), as usual (lately). Do take care, I will try to get on more regularly =)

Umm, hii!!!, I'm back... (with some horrible spelling, my apologies). Eh, my mother's back too!! =) And my grandfather came to visit Wed-Sun =S (mixed feelings lol). Anyway... I did end up getting that new phone! ( (phone) )On sale for $18 at Walgreens, infinitely better than my previous $20 phone, speakerphone, aaaaandddd... FRUITS CLiPPER for a voice call, Liar Game for a message! Basically... since I have pay-as-you-go, that means that whenever I hang up I get to hear a snippet from Liar Game <3 Isn't that amazing??? OH, and charger comes included *_* and guess what... the charger IS THE SAME AS MY PREVIOUS PHONE. *-_- whatever. I went to Chicago this Saturday and came back Sunday (yesterday). On Saturday we went to Mitsuwa, we ate tenpura udon (haaaaa that was amazing...), I ordered completely in Japanese, my father wanted a tonkatsu teishoku without even knowing what that was (but he liked the teishoku) and, err, I got THESE TWO BOOKS: ( (TWO BOOKS) )LiveJournal's autism10 presents us with evidence that amazon.co.jp screenshots are for the win. Yes, I did have to say that. Give them some credit^^. Even if they do have ridiculous prices for us US customers.The second book (Hikari to tomoni... jiheishouji wo kakaete) actually came with a little obi-type thing that is blue. Anyway, Hikaru (the boy on the cover) is super cute <3 He's almost EXACTLY LIKE MY BROTHER. The similarity is almost a little scary. lol. Uh, my brother (Alex) got a Kikansha Toumasu (aka, Thomas the Tank Engine) magazine that came with some Thomas Origami... which I was highly entertained with. So on Sunday we went back to Mitsuwa (♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥) and got two more magazines... which came with stickers!! haha. He also got milk cream cookies that I am currently snacking on, and some other things... my father got bean cakes... I got Choco Balls with peanuts <3 Anyway, at the Apple Store my grandfather bought me iLife '09 (yaaaaaayyyyyy I LOVE YOU iLIFE '09)... I have only had the chance to use iMovie and GarageBand thus far (and even then, not extensively) and I already put together a little demo this morning... capsule's super speeder Judy Jedy lyrics video (I only have the part of "bokura wo tsutsumu kono KOMYUNITII" through "you are nervous miracle super speeder" done... hence, "demo") but I plan to go through the whole song and upload to YouTube, errr. (besides... I haven't found the song on YouTube yet...) So I leave you with the thought of HAVE A NICE DAYS (wrong usage was intentional) and with the best and most sincere birthday wishes for judyjedy. Have a nice days! ※mood:  happy ※music: the printer of the place I'm volunteering now XD |

PRE-ORDERED!!!!!Limited edition, and most likely first press!! Thank you Alex (younger brother) so very much, you just got me some money... I got the second-best shipping option, which I was not counting on... anyway, I am so happy! My guess is first press will get me a poster. And, the DVD (I want that DVD so bad!!)... if first press does turn out to be a poster, I hope they're both in!! (well, even if just one member is in, that's okay... just not a double-sided poster please O_O) ... key word is IF... but first press is first press, and first press LIMITED is love!! anyway, had to let the world know. ※music: Perfume - コンピュータードライビング |
