ASEUL dropped a new album today titled "Slow Dance". 
 
 
The album is a bit hit and miss and I think she's still refining and perfecting her songwriting, but there are some really good tracks on here. She's really nailed that 80's pop / shoegaze-y / bedroom pop sound and I think she's one of the more unique artists in the k-indie scene right now.

Yeah, interesting concept but the buttons as a direction pad doesn't always work well and they're really freaking tiny. Impressive tech tho.
 
 
I want that so bad! Might've gotten one if I already didn't own one.

Thank you again, @ghost!

When people say that they need rational and empirical evidence that God exists, I just imagine one of two scenarios happening:
 
#1. The world's top scientists publishing a study called "Proof of God"  with said evidence.
 
or
 
#2. God appearing in a humanoid form and showing the world that he has control over everything by performing various miracles.
 
In both cases, this would completely miss the point of "believing" in God. I guarantee that most of us would see all of that proof and "empirical evidence", and the world would not change a bit. We'd see it and say "oh, that's cool.", then go back to treating each other like shit.

They're the worst band in history

It's finally come to the point where I only recognize like 5% of the set list.

@ghost I watched this lecture about a concept, especially present in today's world, where people are looking for something, find it, but end up settling for less so that
 
1. They avoid the disappointment/hurt of that thing not being what they've always dreamed of
2. So that they can continue dreaming about the perfect thing (and sort of victimise themselves for never attaining said thing) 
 
Unfortunately the lecture is in Portuguese and I can't find it anymore. But your experience reminded me of that. It's very frustrating I can imagine. You seem like a guy who's serious about his goals and who will work towards tangible things in life and I guess that scares people. They have this idea that they're looking for something serious, but when they find someone who is *actually* serious about a relationship then it's quite scary to them and even though you guys hit it off and have chemistry, it's just too real to solidify a relationship and easier to get swept away by a lesser option or just life.
 
That's how I interpret their behavior, but take my word with a grain of salt. Some people are just flaky as shit and/or don't understand their feelings, some just like attention. The excitement of meeting someone new wears off after sometime and it becomes a chore to keep talking to that individual. Then it's time to leave dating apps... Until you get cravings for that hit of dopamine that comes with the possibilities of a new person. 
 

I'm hoping someone can give me some insight on this.
 
I've met 3 girls within the span of this last year, all on different levels of intimacy. First girl I met, we spent a lot of time together, mutually confessed that we liked each other, but ultimately decided to hold off on a relationship because she was going through school. But like a week later, she told me she did want to and I told her that we should still wait. We talked a lot and spent a lot of time together and we were physically intimate through things like holding hands or even running our hands through each other's hair. Then, one week she says she just wants to be friends and she's not ready to be in a relationship. In this case, it also turned out she was deciding between me and another guy and decided to go with him, but point is that she said she had feelings, proceeded to communicate that through quality time and physical touch, and then does a 180.
 
Second girl I met on a dating app. First time we met up we had a good time. I wasn't super into her but I was down to meet her again. After our first date we exchanged numbers, texted here and there throughout the week and that led up to a second date. At this point we started to talk about past relationships etc. and it came up that she didn't want to go into a relationship right now, especially with her studying for optometry school. So I said that's fine but we still ended up meeting anyways for like another good 2 weeks and I think we both had a genuinely good time. We stopped seeing each eventually but we follow each other on instagram and it looks like she's dating someone now. No biggie, but I guess my initial thoughts were, "huh, she didn't feel like she could start a relationship with me but I guess this other person is fine?". Again, didn't really care but just something I noticed and, I mean, I didn't really go after her.
 
Now, this third girl I also met through a dating app. It was very short lived and we only stayed in touch for 1 week. But it started with us messaging back and forth. Initially it was casual stuff we talked about, but just a few messages later it really ramped up and we were both spending like 45 minutes each just to reply to one string of messages. And the thing was that it was both ways, her asking me questions and reacting and me doing the same back. The conversations were a balanced mix of surface-y stuff like tv shows, our life goals, and even spiritual aspirations. So I eventually asked her to dinner to which she said yes. When we met in person, it felt incredibly good. Really felt like we were vibing and we were very comfortable with each other. At one point she mentions that she's studying for dental school and that she probably will be pretty busy. I said that's fine, but that I wanted to know what she was looking for out of this then. She said that she wants to be involved in a serious relationship and I told her that's awesome, me too. So then I asked, well is this something you want to try and see where it goes and, again, she said yes. So, we made plans for a second date. 
 
The next day we were texting through out the day all the way until the evening before she went to bed. So I felt like she was still interested in me. At some points I messaged her first and other times she messaged me first. But then the next day, there was considerably less contact from her and I felt like something was off. She was hardly initiating with me and we stopped talking maybe around the afternoon. I just figured, ok she's busy and we just met so maybe I'll just give her some space. I'm not the only person she talks to and she did say she has a lot of studying to do. The whole weekend though she didn't text me. Me wanting to give her space, I didn't reach out at all and I just figured I'll see her at our date. Well, Sunday evening she sends me a text saying she's sorry but she thought about things and she just isn't looking for a serious relationship because school takes priority for her right now. I was kind of confused because she told me she wanted try things out with me and then she makes a 180.
 
So, on 3 separate occasions this year, I've met girls that I thought liked me, sent me signals that they did or straight up told me, but just a short while later decide they don't want to go into a relationship with me. Now, obviously you all don't know me, but I think I'm pretty down to earth. In these cases all 3 have actually told me they're very comfortable around me and that they usually don't warm up to people this quickly. But for whatever reason, something about me seems to have made these girls change their mind about me. I figure, like the first 2 examples, even if you're going through school, if you really like someone you'll probably want to still try to get to know them right? Even if it's just to keep them around so you can try again when you are ready. From my standpoint, a couple of these girls did show signs that they were very interested in me, whether it was through physical touch or frequent communication and interest about my day. But their change of heart is so sudden, not a gradual thing. 
 
So I guess my question to the girls then is, in general, are there reasons why girls might change their mind about someone even after showing signs of really liking them? Because I'm just not sure what to expect anymore and I'm just inclined to hate furthering one's education at this point.

Does anyone know if 千秋 is full blood Japanese? I ask because he looks sort of Thai. I've been digging on Acid Cherry King but their early work is pretty buried.
 
A little tenative to go on Tanuki but if anyone has any dirt, by all means...

Attended a wedding last month. Obviously before the event b/c I don't like how I look in the pics during and after ( -人-).
