I love this song. Its fresh, peaceful and still energetic. Listening to music makes me want to dance but I feel ashamed. Still I will dance a little bit here and there. I watched a video today, which explains the dance moves of a video I like. It is so complicated it makes me want to give up. But I won't hehe.
I saw Ado live last week. I discovered her back in 2021 when I downloaded Karaoke Joysound from Japanese eShop. Her songs were in the top 5 most popular songs of the week for the whole 3 months of my initial subscription so I had to check what it was all about. Little did I know she'd quickly become one of my favorite artists.
I've always really enjoyed music but I'm pretty new to live performances. This was the first time I traveled abroad for a concert. It was worth it. I didn't get to hear couple of my favorite songs but there's only so much you can fit into two hours. The setlist was still excellent. It's not like I didn't want to hear the songs that were played.
Anyway, that's enough blabbering. Here are some old live performances I've been rewatching lately:
唱 / Show:
風のゆくえ / Where the Wind Blows (featured in One Piece Film: Red):
unravel (cover, original by TK from Ling Tosite Sigure which was featured in Tokyo Ghoul):
愛して愛して愛して / Aishite Aishite Aishite (cover, originally a vocaloid song by Kikuo):
I am not into grown-ups love but I can enjoy it from a romanticised point of view. Besides it is nearly impossible to find Russian music, which is about something else. A nice song.
Random, but after finishing Digimon Xros Wars, I absolutely adored the theme for Shoutmon X7, We are Xros Heart version X7. It brings back all of my favorite singers from the series for an already awesome transformation. Just wished it was saved for the finale.
Some guy who likes to promote Spark the electric jester 3 constantly (He's also bingeing Digimon anime and finds it fire)
Another cool song with Mia Boyka from a time when she used to have blue hair in her videos. Well, she also has Arielle's red hair in this one. In Russia "Kap" is the sound of dripping water, like rain drops. I will also add two silly videos with her, even though I do not like the music. One is a Pikachu song and the other is a Naruto song. Yeah, I do not think that Russian people care for IP rights and stuff like that. Oh well, just enjoy the cute sillyness.
@Late I was at her concert in London on Thursday night. She’s phenomenal!
I’ve got serious post-concert depression so I’ve been blasting a bunch of her songs on repeat for the last couple days - mainly New Genesis and Stay Gold.

Been processing Brian Wilson’s passing for the last week plus and I’ve been listening to him and his influences pretty obsessively. I always hoped he had one last secret album he’d been producing for the last 20 years. I got a cassette tape of Endless Summer and an alarm clock/tape deck in 1985, and I played that thing until it stretched and warped beyond usefulness. It was my first piece of physical music, and it was hugely influential in my early years.
I believe Brian Wilson is the most influential and important musician of the 20th century, and if humans live another couple hundred years without mutually assured destruction; he’ll be viewed by our future selves on par with how we currently view Beethoven or Bach.
I’ve been listening to the Ronettes, the Crystals, Bobbie B. Sox, and the lots of the Beach Boys albums including Today!, Party!, Shut Down, The Girl From New York City, and, of course, Pet Sounds. I’ve also been playing “Don’t Worry Baby” many times in a row, his direct response to the Ronettes “Be My Baby”, which he had spliced into an eight hour reel. I can’t stop listening to it.
I’m glad his pain is over, but I’ll miss him for the rest of my life.
@Kairuuu I went to Antwerp since it's the only European city I hadn't visited out of the ones she performed in, except for Milan, but I've at least been to Italy. This was my first time in Belgium. I made little freebies that I shared with other fans. You can see them here.
I was hoping to hear 心という名の不可解 which is my favorite song from her at the moment. It was bit sad to hear it play as background music when the concert was already over and people were leaving. I'd also loved to hear 0 but I knew it had almost 0 chance so I wasn't expecting it.
I checked your profile. Good luck on your Japanese studies. I've been studying Japanese for 5 years now. It was great being able to understand Ado's speech regardless of if she was speaking in English or Japanese. She forgot what she was going to say at one point and got frustrated at herself. She apologized that she was speaking in Japanese during that but she said it in Japanese.
Cool track. I like his hooked-by-a-girl-dancing. Niletto seems like a cool guy, he has a lot of videos like this. I have a lot of respect for people who can just do their thing in public places, like no one is watching. It must feel awesome. Definitely need to learn it too, or I will end up like a shy guy.
This is a pretty well known Vocaloid song and what you may consider one of the classic songs (since this came out in 2008), but I’m going to admit that I never listened to this one until playing a lot of this in Colorful Stage! and really liking how it sounded. It’s maybe one of the most intense and emotive sounding Vocaloid songs I’ve heard, and the rock sounding instrumental really fits the meaning of the song.
From what I read, the song is centered on a person who has a crush that’s in love with someone else. Her love for her crush is intense, so she feels extremely unhappy and finds her world has gone dark after seeing that, unlike her, her crush is happy with someone else and that crush doesn’t seem to notice her anymore. She declares that “love is war,” saying she’s willing to do anything to show her true emotions and feelings to her crush so that they’ll notice her again. It really is a great song, and I kinda can’t believe it’s only now I’m actually hearing it.
EDIT: Oh yeah, I forgot to state that I heard both the original version and a remix. Both are pretty good, but I really like the original version a lot more. There’s this kind of, I don’t know if it’s the right word, but static-ness supercell gave to Miku’s voice in the song that suits the emotion and rock genre of the song perfectly, and I found the themes of love being blended in with war (as a metaphor) really interesting. Does a pretty good job showing the intensity of the emotions the girl feels.
I've had Dr. Octagon - "Earth People" stuck in my head for a while now.
I mean to go back and revisit the late '90s/early 2000s underground/indie/backpacker hip hop albums that I remember, and check out the ones I missed out on.
Listening to more Vocaloid, this time DECO*27. I haven’t really heard DECO*27’s songs in a while, but I wanted to hear his music again since there were a few new popular songs of his that I actually never gave a listen to.
I’m going to admit that I don’t usually listen to newer Vocaloid song releases or really popular ones. Kind of don’t know why, but I usually tend to just stick to only a few Vocaloid producers and play older songs, but this time I did have a listen to one of his newer songs, Monitoring.
Why have I not heard this one before? It’s so great, and I think DECO does a great job making short but sweet Vocaloid songs that slap. Plus, it has a really visually stunning music video that’s animated from a cool fisheye lens perspective and is loaded with trippy and psychedelic effects and colors during certain parts.
I also heard more of his songs, that being Salamander and Telepathy, the last one being his most recent song. Telepathy was really catchy!
I’m kinda disappointed she never sang Shoka. That was the one I was sure would’ve been on the setlist. I had a great time regardless though. Can’t believe it was a week ago already!
