Oh, I hope I'm not too late for #JMusicFriday -

For theme #TheMan, the first song that came to mind was "Tokyo Calling" by Atarashii Gakko. Straightforward callout of surrendering your life to The Man (and if the tokusatsu theming is anything to go by, an endorsement of wrecking the system).

For #JMusicFriday theme #OldButNew I have something that's more new-but-old-but-new. I got this earworm some time ago and couldn't place why I found it so familiar. I figured my love of hammond organ was messing with me again.

MONTHS later I was searching something unrelated and realized this song was OP1 of the the "You're Under Arrest" 1996 anime run, which I watched a bit of a long time ago. The sitcom vibe of returning to an old, friendly place was too perfect.

OK, this place. I've been pretty heady lately and not very technology-y.

So to make up for it, you can have this picture. As a treat.

This new track by ARTBAT & Armin van Buuren ("Take Off") is a banger. It's such a good mix of techno and trance.

I would love to hear this on a good-quality system at a festival!

#JMusicFriday theme is #Fancam #JFanCam (Thanks @NaraMoore !)

This is from the EN VTubing fandom, but the wotagei section of "Diamond City Lights" gets me every time. I've never been able to go to an actual concert, but I've always chanted along whenever it shows up on stream. (I love the Enna speeeeen on this one too!)

#JMusicFriday theme is #JCovers - this is probably my favorite of the flood of Oshi No Ko "Idol" covers and the only one I go back to all the time. Tim Henson is so freakin cool

Also the way he so casually drops the pick to unleash his full power 😭

Today's #JMusicFriday theme is #celebratewomen - first song that came to mind was "Tokimeki" by Ikimonogakari!

Pretty Cure celebrates its 20th anniversary this year, and this song featured prominently in the anniversary PV. It was also the theme of "Precure All Stars Movie F" and "Kibou no Chikara: Otona Precure", which both aired Fall 2023. The song itself is bright, uplifting, and an anthem of self-love and optimism.

Anime eyes vs contact lens size in BokuYaba is quite funny. No way is that tiny thing gonna stay in place on her eyes.

I'm just curious in regards to a #retrogaming question. I've been experimenting with DOSBox-Staging's new CRT shaders (so much easier to use I will acknowledge, but I do wish we had at least some control over them beyond just which auto mode -- I'd like a slightly less sharp screen for slightly more blending I guess.) In the end I think I still prefer interpolation though. I miss 2xSaI a lot as what I felt was the best balance, but advinterp2x seems extremely good too. Am I alone in this?

A different screenshot from Zeliard in MCGA mode. In this one the advinterp2x resize is used which smooths and blends many edges to be smoother and more angled or rounded as if they were artwork created at a higher resolution, yet still has a small amount of blurring rather than over-the-top unrealistic sharpness.

#VgmWednesday by @miona !

#MyMood is a bit down/worn out, but not in a depressed sort of way? I feel like I need to curl up with a good story and rest a while - maybe something like Valkyria Chronicles.

I really like both versions of the track "No Matter the Distance," though it only featured in the OST/promo materials afaik. It's one of those tunes that draws you into the story, and makes it feel more like you're about to play an anime than fiddle with a controller.

Midnight Grand Orchestra (Suisei and Taku Inoue) just released this MV for "Soliloquy" and I have to share it. Every frame is eye wateringly gorgeous, and it complements the music perfectly.

Throwing an entry into the amazing #TuneTuesday theme of #YourFavouriteRemix (thanks, @Kitty and @Esoteria - there's a lot of cool music on this tag!):

I credit Nhato's remix of Calliope Mori's "失礼しますが、RIP♡" + the contest it was part of as the biggest factor that dragged me into vTubing. I cannot describe the audience's reaction when we learned he created a brand-new YT account just to drop this banger onto the roster.

Most of my exposure to JMusic has been through mass-consumption brands and fan derivatives, so today's #JMusicFriday prompt "obscure" is a fun challenge. (Thanks, @NaraMoore !)

Bitei Matsuki has been releasing music for a few years now and has a small but growing following. I got hooked recently when "Persona" popped up on my YT recommends. The song flows like water - at once soothing and lively, punctuated by bursts of turbulent emotion.

Not sure if I missed the #JMusicFriday prompt, but I did want to share my favorite version of the Creepy-Nuts song that's going round rn. Aohi Rame is SO. DAMN. GOOD.

I was at one of those neighbourhood barbecues where everyone is talking about their home renovation and pretending to be a construction expert.

“What about you and Jess, Kit?” asked Bob from number 23, “got any Grand Designs?”

“Can’t”, I replied, fervently wishing for a change of subject, “our lot is too small, the house is already as close to the boundary as the city bylaws allow”

“Oh. You should talk to our builder!” Bob enthused, sensing an opportunity to be intolerably superior, “She uses this tape measure that has imaginary numbers on it. We put in two new bedrooms and a media room with no change to the bulding footprint. Didn’t even need planning approval!”
