Ever watch someone skilled at their profession? They make it all look so easy because they've mastered their craft, but they hide the years of work they put into their craft to get to that point. To me, that's why people rate limit themselves and others when it comes to skill, especially life skills.
 
It's a fact that people pick up on certain talents faster than others. I firmly believe that there is something everyone is good at; it could be flipping burgers or clicking heads in video games. Sometimes it takes time and experience to figure that out. I know there are some things I will never be good at unless I put time into it, like basketball or high level math. I know there are some things I've gotten *better* at because I put the time in, like learning guitar or playing shooters.
 
Our culture comes to expect that people should just pick up on all things as quickly as a savant does, and people become discouraged or discourage others when they cannot meet those expectations immediately. It's a nasty outgrowth of consumer culture where what we are consuming is talent. We tie talents to worth of self and others.
 
In this way, you are still correct. The only way to be a dad is to do it. But I also believe some people are not fit to be parents. The complaining about baby daddy shit is just a way to distance herself from what she considers a bad decision, and by robbing him of a critical talent (being a capable father) she is robbing him of his character and worth. Except literally everybody sees through that shit nowadays, because baby daddies don't come outta nowhere. If she was forced to crack a smile, that's because you pierced the veil in one swift move. Well done.

They have a really cool concept and potential, so I hope they can move away from haru ga sakus as they develop as a band.

The full version of their PV was finally posted it. There is alot of animation in this video which probably took one animator a long time to finish. The results I think are pretty spectacular!


If you want to order the album internationally, simply write them through their contact form and they'll work with you. I did and received the album promptly!

I dunno, seems like a randomly made up rumour. Although people back in the day did have children at a young age

3rd and 4th track are alright. Where did all that art kei go? I almost ended up liking a karma project for once.

I dunno, seems like a randomly made up rumour. Although people back in the day did have children at a young age

So, idk if anyone has ever heard of this type of rumour before, but last year in my work as a call center agent I had a couple of friends who were also somewhat into vkei. One of them told me about Mana and Kanon Wakeshima being an amazing duo of mentor and apprentice and how successful they are.
 
He told me that Kanon was such a talented person and that all of that talent may have been inherited. Idk where he got his sources, but he told me that in the sites he goes to there are/were rumors circling about that Kanon is actually Mana's daughter. I tried to search it up and even in Tanuki I tried to see if Kanon's name would show up but nada. So I was wondering if anyone else has heard of this rumor or was my friend just fucking around with me on this one.
 
Also, total respect to Mana and Kanon's privacy for this but, I am curious if there has been talk about this before.

God, Gen's cat Chikuwa is so cute. Sometimes I really wish I could have a cat again, but I don't have anywhere practical to put a litter box in my condo, and I also happen to have a budgie, so I'd have to worry about the cat eating her/scaring her to death every day.
 
 

new band "RANA" has formed back in January 2020! Unfortunately, their debut has been swamped out by the ongoing COVID-19 crisis, as their first appearance at a Terakoya sponsored event has been postponed. The Terakoya label was supposed to hold their two day event from 4/11-12 at 松本Alecx.
 
Fortunately, the band can still be heard, as they've put out a music video and have released their first EP, "蛙の詩" on 4/11! This may have been live-limited, had they been able to hop on stage, but thankfully they've put it up on their new webshop, and on streaming platforms!

Whether you're a fan of Harry Potter or not, you will probably have taken the test to find out which Hogwarts house you belong in.
 
If you haven't taken the test yet, you can do so here
 
Do you find that your house matches your traits/personality?  Do you wish you belonged to another house? Do you think Slytherin is inherently evil? 
 
I'm a Ravenclaw and I find that it suits me well, but I do identify with some of the Hufflepuff characteristics too. 

Mikoto did the whole video himself (art, animation, production) which he's partly documented on IG. 

Its hard to believe Mikoto is a guy. He's too damn pretty to have a dong
How come they look hardcore edgy but when you see them live, they're all kirakira kei like?

Yukimi Nagano will always be one of my faves

Florence + The Machine's latest tune dedicated to the tragedy is hitting our world... sweet and calming, full of light and hope... a thing we need right now!
