Total Saikou reacted to Karma’s Hat in DIMLIM
I just checked all the likes for their premi-ere-um live on twitter, and it's all vk-inclined Japanese people and weebs. Those mythical math rock fans were not present, so I guess they don't use twitter—or they could be off-the-grid too, so to speak, because they don't seem to play DIMLIM much on Spotify either, since all the artists that "the fans of this band like" are vk bands. Maybe the stats haven't updated yet idk
Lets brought this on himself with his complete lack of self-awareness and people skills. Their fans started making fun of them for not having a bassist only because Lets is doing his best to pretend that it's not an issue. One tweet going "we're looking for a new bassist please be patient kittekudasai and sunimaseenn" and no one would mention it ever again.
Under normal circumstances I would have no sympathy for entitled gya either, but Lets should be aware that if you get backlash for something from the people you depend on, the solution is not to double down on everything that got you the backlash in the first place while blocking people left, right and center. I don't have anything against such an abrasive outsider art approach to PR either, but it's obvious that they still rely on those fans to even have a career. It's indisputable that all the people who bought their tickets in America are weebs and I won't listen to anything saying otherwise.
If he just made one self-deprecating tweet about this whole thing then it would all be over and people would stop shitting on them and go on waiting for new music, but no, Lets is his own biggest mark and he'll instead focus on the E S S E N C E, which is biting the hand that feeds you. People didn't shit on Yeti when Emiru moved on to play indie rock for a non-vk crowd. If they didn't do this shit and have their one-member street team here, then this topic would be dead. Now people are just enjoying the ride before it crashes.

Does Lets pay you to kiss his ass so hard or are you actually him? Because otherwise I can’t believe you are real, dude.

Total Saikou reacted to Demivee in SHM-CDs: An audiophile treat or a complete SHaM?
I own the THE ONE - crash to create- single by Luna Sea as a SHM-CD and really can't spot a difference to normal quality CDs.
I have a relative good audio set up at home and really sat in front of the speakers with closed eyes to hear any details which were not available in standard quality. XD
Either there is really no big difference or I am not audiophile enough.
So in my opinion buying a SHM-CD is money thrown away.

Total Saikou reacted to ghost in Single People Thread
Dating is over rated anyways. It's great if you find someone you care about and they care about you too. But it's so complicated and messy.
Feel ya on the traumatic experience. The first person I ever confessed to and they told me they felt the same ended up stringing me along while they were trying to choose between me and another guy. Saw some red flags but I was too naive and blinded by what I wanted. In a good/bad way I never trust anyone now.
I'm sure it's different for girls but I've had generally good experiences using dating apps. Biggest problem I've ran into as a guy is girls telling me they're "actually too busy to date but have an account just out of curiosity." And being cat-fished. It also definitely matters which one you use. Different apps for different folks ranging from "Tinder: looking for a fvck buddy" to "Hinge: looking for something serious". Not saying that any one app has an exclusive type of audience but you're just more likely to come across certain types of people in one app vs another.
I've actually had some of the deepest conversations I've ever had with people I've met on dating apps. I'm even still friends with one girl I ended up meeting IRL and we'll end up commenting on each other's insta stories from time to time. It really is a crapshoot though. Like 90% of the time it will be a waste of time, but you do meet some cool people.
If it makes you feel better I'm sure nearly everyone on the forum has gotten the same response from people for their interests haha. It's different cause she's family, but my sister ALWAYS makes fun of me for listening to music that doesn't "match" my personality. When I listen to rap and hip/hop she'll be like "Oh, you think you're cool now?" 😂

Total Saikou reacted to Axius in SHM-CDs: An audiophile treat or a complete SHaM?
These versions are usually just more expensive version of a CD's due to its durability. Polycarbonate material almost like steel in hardness so its generally more pricey then standard CD's. Mastering does have a small portion of that contribution but ultimately its the way the CD is made. I would agree it can be worth checking out maybe on like your favorite release or something just to see how its sounds.
Kinda similar to like buying a Blu-ray vs DVD. A DVD is cheaper to make as posted to a Blu-ray because of the way its made. That's why they are priced differently. As for Japanese versions of CD's its up in the air there are different types. Even HMV.co. jp has there own version.
Regardless i agree. I dont care for the SHM CD all that much.

Total Saikou reacted to JukaForever in SHM-CDs: An audiophile treat or a complete SHaM?
I don't really care for it. It looks like they still follow redbook qualifications and that is all that matters for a good rip in EAC. I don't listen to CDs anymore, I hate the whirling sound it makes in my PC.
Companies could also be using a different mastering for SHM versions to make it sound different which could explain the price hike. In which case then it might be good to try to see if the new mastering is better. At that point you are strictly paying for the music and not the CD quality which is probably cheap as hell to manufacture.

Total Saikou reacted to Axius in SHM-CDs: An audiophile treat or a complete SHaM?
According to article made by CDJapan. Some of these CD's are used by very well known artists in the Music industry. There is a interesting science behind this. In a way some of this stuff makes sense others do not.
Based off what i read with a little research SMH-CD's are more durable then your average CD's they do contain a better projection of data on the CD but not enough to make much of a difference in sound quality a least worth noting unless you have expensive audio equipment to really play with. Notably most Japanese editions of CD's are similar to SMH-CD's in quality and are priced slightly high for that reason. I don't personally own these CD's but based on the information on others who have one. It really depends on your audio equipment and perception of how you hear music. Some people notice it some people do not. SH Material is "supposed" to make your CD Player's work better by incorporating better materials that's for more reliable in production, easier to read obviously if you have a good CD player. What this basically to me at least is longer lasting CD's.
Interestingly enough, SMH-CD's are made out of polycarbonate material which are also a similar material that Blue ray CD's are made of. Not 100% made of the same material but mostly comprised of it.
This aside. My opinion tho is that i believe the CD's in quality could be the same if i heard it. (Disclaimer: I dont own a SMH-CD). I also believe it is based off the artist and there equipment, sound production and mastering of the audio itself for you to really tell the difference in it. Thats just me tho. If you want to take a shot in the dark that is fine. Im not that interested in other types of CD's believe it or not but i did get a good take away from this topic which is that Interestingly enough this encourages me to re-rip some of my CD's with a better CD player. All my rips are from a 2005 CD player. Need an upgrade.
Non-CD:
Me personally i prefer M4a audio higher then 320 Kbps. Mostly because its the closet format to a Lossless without the big file. A difference for ripped CD's, i noticed is when i listen to a Mp3 320 kbps compared to a m4a 320 kbps. Some mp3's are actually really good quality but most M4a's in my opinion sound better then Mp3. Lossless for me interestingly enough is the same for a ripped M4a i don't notice that much of a difference for my ears. I use 100 dollar wireless headphones tho but speaker wise i will need to upgrade later.

Total Saikou reacted to Triangle in Favorite PVs/MVs [Discussion]🎥
I have SO many favorite MVs, but I think I the ones that I will list below are some that I are my all times favorite and the dearest to me.
MUCC - Flight
Looking back, I miss sweaty lives and people getting into each other’s business 😂. The MV adds up to the overall energetic vibe of the song!
MUCC - 睡蓮
My boys literally put up an application form for everyone who wanted to join in the MV and also called some amazing dancers and performers!! This MV took my whole heart 💕. Proud to be a 夢烏 😌.
DEZERT - 変態
I’m not sure how much the MV relates with the song but, they’re in a place, Chiaki is wearing a skirt, THERE IS AN ADORABLE CAT, what else do you want? Perfection 🥺💕.
MERRY - 千代田線デモクラシー
I mean this MV is food for the thought a lot. It really shows you the story the lyrics are telling and it makes some strong yet subtle statements and that’s what I love about Merry.
MERRY - Happy Life
One of my favorite songs from them is this and the MV is equally beautiful. “I don’t care what you think, I will do my best even if you throw tomatoes at me” seems to be the appropriate vibe given the lyrics of the song. I love it and I’m here for it. Though Gara mentioned that originally this MV was supposed to be shot outside, but the weather gone bad so they had to relocate in a school gym. And afterwards had to clean up all the mess they’ve made 😂.
