colorful人生

I think these has to do with the previews:

http://www.kiryu-web.net/media_detail/70025

https://lineblog.me/kiryu_takemasa/archives/6073873.html

The full videos might also have been distributed through the old i-mode/keitai web-standard in shite quality, but that's just an assumption. Other Q&A sites seem to say that they simply never came out.

*Tried looking around here (around the time of the release date): https://web.archive.org/web/20080513213919/http://www.visunavi.com:80/index_pc.html

Even if it was distributed that way, they always did it via .asx files which were just pointers for online content. They were to be played via WMP (Windows Media Player) or Real Player anyway.

Japanese people probably wouldn't see it as a bad thing I think that's why. Showing your self to each other and touching each other is not really a bad thing there so that could be why he thought it was ok if I was to think about it in terms of that.

Yeah, that seems to be reflected by most of the comments (they think it's cute). I mean, something like kancho would be egregious to the West. That being said, who gets so bored they end up diddling a dog 😐?

If MEGA took down that folder, then they may take down yours too, colorful人生. Consider reuploading your files somewhere else, like YouTube, in which as long as the videos are unlisted it's pretty much safe. Other good streaming services for piracy are VK.com, as mentioned above, youku.com and bilibili.com. In those, videos are almost never taken down for any reason.

Way ahead of you. All of my files are backed locally and I have secondary accounts for all folders. If a folder gets taken down I can just paste another link. I'm thinking of making a YouTube account (obv. not a franchise channel so different gmail, etc.) to host all the content. That will take quite long, so I'll hold off that idea until it starts getting dicey.

@BrenGun

Your MEGA folder was taken down https://mega.nz/#F!JYUT1ATY!CD9GhA29uQ0T1UDPAjTWlg. Is there any way you can re-upload the contents in there, please?

Great ! Thaks a lot for sharing those. It would be nice if you could post the links here to each individual gig you rip, tough. I wasn't even aware there were 3 folders already. Gotta check the archive.

Two at the moment, working on the third. I'm getting close to 150 GB of footage total. 

Once I get the third link up, I'll start adding the individual links in the dropdown lists.

I've grabbed a few off these channels:

Victor Entertainment: https://www.youtube.com/user/VictorMusicChannel

Lantis: https://www.youtube.com/user/lantis

Avex has uploaded a metric ton of lives that'll be available until the end of the month: https://www.youtube.com/user/avexnetwork/videos

I'll be working on downloading those when I'm done w/ the other stuff.

-

Also, putting search terms like "audience delivery", "no-audience delivery", "studio live", etc. (obv. in Japanese) will reveal a ton of livestream content on YouTube. I've had to pick & choose quite a bit, so I might miss on some people's favorites. If anyone has like a single video, feel free to shoot me a PM, but it would also be helpful if we could get a few more people to join in on the downloading. 

For YouTube, I'm using youtube-dl (https://github.com/ytdl-org/youtube-dl). If anyone is uncomfortable with cli  for some reason, there is youtube-dlg (https://mrs0m30n3.github.io/youtube-dl-gui/) it's severely outdated, though. You could also use online downloaders, one of which is just prepending the url's "youtube.com" with "ss" to make "ssyoutube.com".

Minyami for Nico Lives (https://github.com/Last-Order/Minyami). You need to install Git for Windows and Node.js (LTS is fine) before attempting the instructions.

Certain Nico Lives that are under channel paywall, but not premium paywall usu. won't have added DRM/HLS encryption which segments the video. You can use something like HLS Downloader: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/hls-downloader/apomkbibleomoihlhhdbeghnfioffbej?hl=en. Keep in mind you should set the video to the highest quality stream (usu 3MB) and then select the lowest (like scroll down to the bottom, lowest) option in the sniffer section.

I use Line Live Downloader (https://github.com/zyzsdy/linelive-downloader/releases) which is ultra straightforward. Download the latest release and launch the program. It's pretty straightforward/easy. 

VK downloading can be accomplished through https://addoncrop.com/vk-video-and-music-downloader/. You need a vk account, but it's pretty painless. I don't plan on using my acc. for anything.

Finally, Twitcasting videos can be acquired via VLC using the "Network Stream" feature.

Channel page is a bit misleading, most of those timeshifts have expired.  I've grabbed the most recent 4 (the latest is the rave one), they'll be included in my third MEGA folder. It just takes a while to upload everything. 

This is DIAURA's

Not going to embed w/ the thumbnail b/c the whole title + face thing can be off-putting. I've followed laowhy & serpentza for several years now, and they do a pretty good job in this China Unscripted interview about the current state of affairs (in addition to their own experiences) in regards to the CCP and Coronavirus "soft power" narrative that the party is pushing. I would watch the whole thing if you have the time because it pretty well summarizes their content for the past couple years.

Both the individuals interviewed here have their own, joint channel called ADV China. Again, the thumbnail clickbait stuff can induce snap-judgement compared to their actual content, which is quite concise and much broader than the title suggests. ADV China's latest video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mdy12Puoo68

lmao, she's married at least according to her profile...well that hasn't really stopped anybody, has it 😆. She could just like him as a fan and they're desperate, but the retsu simp narrative is a much funnier reality to me. 

Due to COVID-19, their March 21st live was cancelled. The members thought of something they could do during this time, so they filmed a live music video for Angel Lip and uploaded it on YouTube.

Phew, everything is downloaded. Currently in the middle of re-organizing and creating folder backups, so I might have to update tomorrow. That being said, here are a few things:

> DISH

> HAKLO is streaming an event + "net-sign" (signing physical goods/cheki) April 9th

> There are a couple smaller bands on this channel that have held audience-less lives. I don't know if I'll be grabbing these, but they're available here for those interested: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCd5faoIl0eKF1S1eyrlLBvA

> The レイブ (rave) live on 4/6 will be several hours from now

Hmm... Much of what I've listened to in Vietnamese has been V-pop, which really just feels like K-pop in Vietnamese. 

Here's something I found that was pretty decent though:

Philippines:

I tend to prefer the 70's folk rock stuff before the music scene was absolutely inundated with pop ballads for the rest of eternity.

The only problem is that the vocalist said it was going to be available during a day, so it should be gone by now. But it's still up, so...

Here ya go: https://mega.nz/file/Pap3kBZR#i--A4VuYxoJ1AYzX0U1TX2SdE_QMcvgr9ZQYwoXCB1o

Also, it'll be up for another 10 hours if it premiered 14 hours ago.

Why can I only download it in 360p? When I play it in full HD, it does fine. Is anyone having this same problem?

Seems to be available for me. I'm in the process of downloading everything in the thread to host on MEGA, so you don't have to worry about that. 

Also, did anybody grab the Shin stuff? The videos were removed before I got to download them. 

@suji Can you unlock my archive thread, please? I didn't realize the author wouldn't be able to edit it after the lock, so I'll just add a large disclaimer at the bottom of the post.

Compared to others on the forum, I only got into metal and prog-rock maybe a few months after J-rock (and then Visual Kei.) I was always interested in very atmospheric 80's/90's pop, AOR (album-oriented rock), R&B, and yacht-rock. It was a combination of my parent's music and "watching" MTV music videos all day as an infant that made that kind of music comforting & impressionable to me. Stuff like 90's R&B gospel synth sounds and chord progressions that were so prominent during that time were also popular in J-pop, so I'm not surprised that I would take interest in Japanese music. Also, J-music, and a lot of East Asian contemporary music, continued to roll with that melodic slant while Western Music would have more distinct, separate music eras/styles. Japan was also that main entertainment powerhouse in the late 90's ~ early 00's for most of us in that East Asian space, which meant exposure to anime, games, and the like at an early age.

Fast forward to about '08 ~ '10 I was transitioning from J-pop & trance to listening to rock bands like No Regret Life, UVERworld, flumpool, RADWIMPS, Last Alliance, Breakerz, etc. Got into Janne Da Arc pretty heavy and then an absolute flurry of Visual Kei stuff. I really liked the heavy soft-synth with the really visceral, raw instrumentals combined with the cool, effeminate ikemen visuals. Visual Kei became kind of my own space for a time because I knew almost nobody who knew about it, so it felt very special to me.

@WhirlingBlack

Is it fine to create another thread that has all the videos compiled & categorized under nested spoiler tags or is there a way for me to get the first post in this thread? It's feeling a bit cluttered, and in lieu of creating additional posts I've been updating older ones. I want to make it a bit easier to have everything organized. 

It would also be a way to separate older uploaded recordings from the newer lives.

initial’L  is live streaming now. Dunno if it will be avaliable later. Would someone please record it?

Missed out on it, but they will be re-uploading an improved version b/c of sound gaps.

The Leetspeak Monsters one has now been re-uploaded to their channel. I've updated the link on the original post.

Hakubi will have a live in 43 hours from my posting on April 5th at KYOTO MUSE

Also @jon_jonz, is this part of the "the Raid." live that has been removed?

Quickly looking at some of the others they have some skips too. #01《寺子屋ツアー2020～配信編～》has skips at 10:01 and 10:36 just from the small parts I looked at. Something weird must be happening during the download process.

I've included the fixed videos here: https://mega.nz/folder/ObAj0abI#QY7fHuHePXSiXevgEui7QQ

All the times line up at the moment, but if you see any other stuttering issues just PM me and I can redownload them.
