237Q

Choosing CP on this one. I'm generally a fan of Tenten's latter works, especially Kiss My Way. I used to like KuRt back in the day, but KMW and CP have the somehow mature sound, interesting arrangements and tenten has improved a lot. Expecting a lot from MBHI

*hops into a dramatic pose*

timezones are the best because I get to be the first on here to wish para a very merry birthday <3

Lol I'm kind of the reverse! I liked 1414's title song*, but not too crazy about the other songs, and with emit-the title song is pretty meh but the other songs OMG *-liked... more like ZOMFG CAN I MARRY THIS SONG PLEASE MAKE SONG MARRIAGE LEGAL PLS btw I missed you<3

tanuki is basically a japanese forum board on 2ch where fangirls bash visual kei artists they've had contact with, share rumors, those who have slept with some of the artists reveal their experiences etc. People have to understand visual kei as a scene is really small, and there is a really small circle of people where everyone knows everyone, and I'm not only saying fans know other fans, but artists know their fans and often actually party and hook up with them. Generally I've been lurking on tanuki for quite a few years now so it's fairly easy for me to figure out if something is true or not, and let me tell you-90% of stuff there is bullshit. What's the most recent injury (minor or major) you've had?

I used to be a huuuugeeeee fan of DOG inthe PWO for around 3 years altogether, but it's been around the end of last year I managed to admit to myself they just don't appeal to me anymore. It has actually started exactly a year ago with me getting their "Boomy Boomy" single, listening to it once, ripping it to upload it and simply not listening to the single ever again (or rather-listening to it in rare occasions I would just put everything from DOG on a playlist and the songs came up). The funny thing is, even after this disappointment I have ordered their maxi single Doggy style III 5 months later in a 1-day blast of love for the band, or rather just to complete my Doggy style maxis collection. It wasn't so disappointing but I rarely listen to it. I still often listen to their old stuff because 1) Haru's voice is powerful and great (I still consider him my favorite vocalist in vk), 2) old songs actually make sense and have a lot of emotion in them and 3) sentimental value. So basically, I didn't grow out of them, but rather, they grew out of me I guess? But honestly, I consider their new stuff generic and pointless. Even though they still have the same amount of talent, they're just not using it imo. Fun fact-every band I considered my "favorite" after DOG has suddenly decided to disband or have a hiatus (awoi, jackman and liphlich), lol sending me signs much, doggie? xD

I'm very very impressed with everything DIV's released this year, Liphlich's Hurrah Hurray single (Piropo is probably my favorite song of the year), both The Kiddie's singles (I'm rocking out to 1414287356 right now), everything Mejibray's done (well, generally everything's mejibray ever done at this brand new fangirl point), Kameleo's new single (especially 時給¥850 PV haha) and Moran's Dark (it's just... super beautiful lol)

AAAAy Saku happy birthday! And Number and Shaneth!!

Alice in wonderland theme is really extremely common, this is just what comes out when I search for alice in my vk music folder (and I don't even have that much music). Some are release names, some are song names Keke-Cosmike Alice Wonderland The Gallo-Alice in world's end; Alice in dead end Dolly-Alice in dizzypit Hime ichigo-Re:alice; dear from Alice Juliette-Retro classic alice Buck-tick - Alice in wonder underground Cindykate-Alice R-shitei-Alice Shinjuu Elm-Okashi na kuni no Alice ----I'm not even going to try searching for other keywords, as I think this makes Alice theme pretty relevant Btw Dolly was heavily inspired by Alice in wonderland in general, especially the white rabbit

my opinions about nazi and alice in wonderland in vk (bullshit alert) :

Shower 1 or 2 times per day (more if needed, like during summer and stuff. I absolutely can't fall asleep if I haven't showered though lol). Also, I take long baths only occasionally, around 2 times a month. Do you style yourself, do your hair and make-up (girls... and boys maybe? idk) daily? If not, how often do you do it?

AAAAAAAW guys, thanks! <3 <3 <3

omg I uninstalled iTunes last week!!!!! ToT wow such smart I will try operating with foobar and install iTunes again if it's too complicated for me haha thank you and thank you ^o^

many thanks, such helpful, so zess, wow <3

I'm looking for a good freeware audio converter (one that supports M4A and WMA conversions to MP3. Needs to be compatible with Windows 7). I'm not concerned about transcoding stuff, I primarily need it because I'm using my phone to listen to music and it doesn't support almost anything other than MP3 I know dBpoweramp is good, but it keeps on bugging me about buying the licence, AND it doesn't recognize WMA. Any suggestions?

@para: lol well... thanks for not letting the thread die? xD @champ: omg I wasn't sure if I was laughing or being all nostalgic and fuzzy inside. Kerala is important. Hmmmm, Rise?

nobody knew

EPIC keep it going pls!

That's genius! Though I suspect the number of uploaders to be cut in half, it might be worth it

Dear lord this took 2 hours //ps I hope I fixed all the formatting, made a huge mistake of filling this in in notepad// ///pps visual kei fangirling alert///

My train of thoughts on this topic: it's because most people never learn how to get up after they fall. Success never ever comes easily, and people might think otherwise because successful people often give out that vibe of carefree-ness and liveliness. But maybe they just learnt how to get themselves back up. How to stay persistent. It could even be the "fake it till you make it" mindset. But there are two characteristics truly successful people with almost no exceptions have: A healthy dose of self-criticism and the ability to organize themselves well. I'm talking about people who are successful on both important plans of life: personal life (family, love, self-fulfillment, spirituality, hobbies) and professional life (what people usually take as "success", but it's really not success without the other part as well). Both self-criticism and good organization helps them overcome their flaws, just as you said - lack of confidence, persistence, skills, knowledge etc. You can not succeed if you're not willing to work on yourself. The moment you notice you lack something, start working on getting it. I realize my drawings aren't as good as those of my idols, analyze my idols' works, and figure out what I need to work on and start doing it straight away. I realize my japanese skill has been decreasing recently, go through a random text, figure out that my vocabulary isn't broad enough, pick up a dictionary and start learning new words. Beginning something is the hardest part. Once you begin, you probably come to a point where you're just lacking persistence. That's where organization skills come in handy. Organize your time and your day so that you don't really notice you're working on self-development. Draw several studies of a body part you're not so skilled at during a boring class. Subscribe to a "japanese word of a day" e-mail listing on a language learning website. The elevator can only be used on your way down. To go up, you have to take the stairs. One step at a time. And don't approach success in a "I want to be successful" kinda way. Approach it in a "I want to be the best version of myself possible". People don't notice you because you want to be noticed by people. People notice you because you noticed yourself. /my philosophy/
