1. hiragana "we" (historical kana)Obsolete term

Wikipedia definition

2. We (kana)ゑ, in hiragana, or ヱ in katakana, is a nearly obsolete Japanese kana. It is presumed that ゑ represented . It is thought that, after ゑ and え came to denote the same pronunciation as イェ in the Kamakura period, they came to be pronounced as the modern エ [e e]; there is also the view that the pronunciation difference between the two kana remained until the Taishō period.

1. hiragana "wi" (historical kana)Obsolete term

Wikipedia definition

2. Wi (kana)ゐ, in and that ゐ and い indicated different pronunciations until somewhere between the Kamakura period and the Taishō period when they both came to be pronounced [i i]. Along with the kana for we, (ゑ in hiragana, ヱ in katakana), this kana was deemed obsolete in Japanese in 1946, and replaced with い and イ. It is now rare in everyday usage; in onomatopoeia and foreign words, the katakana form ウィ (U-) is preferred.

He's the gift that keeps on giving [absolute cringe]

when it turned nasty I couldn‘t believe it.

@123Sandman321 ohwell, my usual style of cooking is throwing whatever 3 remaining ingredients I have left in my fridge and call it sustenance~ 

that's very generous of you LOL 

Haha, it doesn't sound too bad  One of these days you'll create a delicious recipe with your cooking style  

@monkeybanana4 you have much more faith in my cooking skills than I do XD

accurate

I got some weird looks when sporting their T-shirt here... 

That's neat! Hope you have fun and learn lots~

Hehe thank you! I'm super excited ^^ if maybe a bit worried, cause I've always studied Japanese in English and these classes will presumably be in Polish, so I expect some brain gimnastics at the beginning there~ 

There's nothing good in this

dostedt? nihonese ga wakaranotunderstand...

Well nothing will ever top y'alltachi, but this served as a decent b-rate entertainment :'D 

i'm gonna wake up at 3am laughing my ass off at this

step one - join obscure vk bands until you land the right one and get some popularity

step two - get nose job and other secretive surgeries

step three - become too bad a bitch to be in any groups

step four ??????

= profit

Congratz, welcome to the elite!

thank you thank you, I'm expecting all the VIP content to blow my mind

One of us. One of us!

^ Agreed. I think I flinch whenever a picture of him pops up on my feed, LOL.

well I was never a fan of nokubura so I've just discovered this gem! 

I loved Nokubura (until the exodus) and even then, that dude gave me the heeby jeebies!

You're welcome

Haha, thanks! I killed with Paint in the end, but I don't understand the existence of this format in general >.> 

@spockitty when you have this for your screen you don't need more than one. I prefer this one 34 inch 21:9 1440p G-SYNC 100FPS monitor to my 3 monitor set up at work. Not having bezels is a game changer literally.

I have 1920x1080 on all of my 3 monitors, and I suppose I could work with two windows on a single monitor? But when I need to play a game on one, watch a tv show/play music on the other and work on the 3rd? you just can't do all that on just one monitor

True that,

But I  also have a TV in my room, so to watch TV I put that one on 😛 

But surely if I wanna watch youtube and doing some stuff on the same time it would be nice to have another screen,.. but well, no place for that anyway.

My monitor is also 1920x1080

@Zeus well that does look sexy, but unfortunately I'm not made of money, holy shit my previous car cost this much ^^;; good for you man~!

I think I saw this one in a setup of Unbox Therapy's guy on yt. but then he has all the craziest tech around. 

hmm this made me lol, just cuz growing up with crappy downloading methods meant that I was content with having the one song I heard, without looking into it and realizing it was from an entire album.

now you have the option and awareness to get the whole album cuz that’s the online web’s job and people still will just get the one song lol.

If I had to look into all the albums I only have one song of, I think I’d die lol it’s just too late for me.

lol my initial experience is pretty much the same, but I do remember as soon as I was able to dig information about the releases' contents, I was spending hours collecting each song from the darkest corners of the internet to make it complete. it's a deep rooted issue of mine is what I'm saying X'D 

see! I'm at a turning point basically, the only digital stuff I own, is releases that were only ever released digitally. 

Ohhhh, i see what you mean!

This, so much. The "restore" function saves lives.

I’ve been there for sure haha

Tbf spending the money on vices (such as VK) instead of food is absolutely relatable. 

Uh-oh I can relate too much, other vices first food for self comes last lol

Next on the NEWS: Unhealthy obsession with Japanese twinks the leading cause of death via malnutrition! 

I mean... why people would celebrate someone's death lol

lol not celebrate the death but their life achievements? I feel like that's a thing people do after some famous person dies, hence why I was worried~ 

Ah, I see.

I'm pretty sure they're paid on a per-song basis (one of Gackt's former ghostwriters spilled this), if paid for composing etc at all;

iirc some of them are basically salaried employees, but I can't remember if this applies to all bands, or starting at a certain popularity once their label signs them full-time.

your answer might in fact have risen even more questions for me lol

my knowledge of behind-the-scenes financial goings of music industry is surface at best and I got a feeling vk is not the best place to start digging deeper

thank you though! 

vk/japanese entertainment is different from western music (in the west, record producers are paid once their songs are sold to someone + they might get a cut from each live performance, each licensing deal i.e. advertizing or movie tie-ins, etc, depending on their contract);

japanese entertainment has a talent agency that owns the band/artist and it sells the artist to a record label, and from there, it gets less clear for me because some artists are open about working for non-vk activities and getting paid for those, with others it's rly quiet (they might not get any composing money at all, settling for an office job style salary that covers everything they record and pitch to the label, regardless if that stuff ends up released under their name or sold further.)

Gackt (a self-proclaimed self-made/self-raised chanteuse and composer) paid his support musicians around $5k for composing his singles at his peak, iirc.
