I had preordered the limited edition of the new album and can recommend the included the concert. ;) The quality is equal to the Bluray of the previous album.

The song is awesome. Especially live.

Do you know “OVER”? I think you could like the song, too. YouTube: SCANDAL - OVER

This is my favorite Hanabie. song.

Oh, no. I love bandcamp. I don’t want it to go down the drain. :c

What’s up with bandcamp?

Hey, no problem. Thank you for your impressions. I’m glad that there are a lot of songs that you like. :)

Though I have to say that the blatant pushing of their schoolgirl image in their earlier videos and concerts is a bit off-putting to me

This is my exact feeling. I like the mature SCANDAL more. And they worked hard to change their image. An example for this is the Koisuru universe MV.

You’re right and that’s why I love them. You can feel that they have fun when you go to a concert. And when they have fun, the crowd has fun too! It is quite more enjoyable when you are standing in the crowd knowing that the band members have as much fun as you.

SCANDAL are making songs that they like and not songs that may sell well. Also, they are exprimenting quite a bit. “Ai no shotai” from the latest album “Mirror” comes to mind. In that song they added a gospel choir which is something that I do not listen to every day. It is my favorite song from the album.

Plus the fact that they have a wide vararity of styles. Every album feels fresh. This surely comes with the downside that one may not like every single song. There may be songs that are more your cup of tea and songs that you do not like very much. But that’s OK. Just listen to the songs that you like. (Honestly, there are SCANDAL songs that I can’t seem to warm up to, no matter how hard I try. And one of them is a popular SCANDAL song. But eh, they have an impressive discography. There are so many songs that I like.)

Sorry for raving about my favorite band. 😅

What SCANDAL songs do you like so far?

Oh, Ok. I hope you get some time to relax with Japanese music. “26” is a really great song, I can understand that it left an impression on you.

I will also think about some songs with happy couples in the MVs for my next posts 😉

By the way, did you decide to order the album with the Bluray?

@[email protected] I’m sure you’ve already seen the new MV. What’s your opinion? :)

Thank you very much. I think I have a project for the weekend :)

Thanks. I will look into that.

I was in the same position two months ago and decided to go with the Prusa MK4 kit with the enclosure. So far I’m happy with my purchase. The deciding factor for me was lastly the loudness of the device because I wanted to use the printer in my apartment. Reviews said that the printer is relatively quiet and I can confirm that. If the door to my “printer room” is closed I’m not able to hear it.

Some points about the MK4:

Positives:

• It prints very fast with the new Input Shaper firmware
• I can control the printer via LAN and WiFi (or print directly from a USB drive)
• Excellent print quality
• Open Source and spare parts are avaiable for a long time

Negatives:

• Maintenance is complicated after installing the printer in the enclosure. You can only access the printer through the front door which makes reaching the sides of the printer difficult and removing the printer from the enclosure is not easy as well because you first have to disassemble the display unit.

I dont’ have access to a Bambulab printer so I’m not able to compare both the Prusa MK4 and the Bambulab P1S. Nevertheless, I’m happy with my printer and can recommend it.

Cube 2: Sauerbraten seems to still be maintained. I haven’t played it for a long time, though.

I like this song, too. IIRC this was an april fools joke at first.

Yes, the link you posted above is correct. I’ve ordered directly from Japan through cdjapan. All the stuff I’m ordering from Japan is mostly through cdjapan. I never had problems and the packaging quality is outstanding.

Yes, I did receive the live Bluray and I’ve seen the concert now multiple times.

The sound is perfect, camera work is good (not many unfocussed frames), image quality is very high (although you can see some “flickering” when the cameras shutter speed doesn’t match with frequency of the lightning) and there are interesting camera angles. There aren’t too many cuts (that’s good IMO, I dont’t like it when there are four cuts per second and you can’t see a thing). The sound of the Bluray doesn’t seem to be much post processed (auto tune and the like) if at all. You can hear it if the singer can’t reach a high note (but that occurs rarely). Nethertheless, the singer’s live performance is extremly good. It sounds like a studio recording. Mixing is also very good, you can hear everything very clear (I do not own any good audio equipment to judge that but with normal speakers or headphones it sounds very good).

All negative points I’ve mentioned above are really, really minor. You may not even be able to notice them. The Bluray is of very high quality.

Only thing I’m missing is a live performance of “GIRL AND”, my favorite song from them. The concert was held last year, so there wasn’t a chance that they could play it 😉

I’m very satisfied with the purchase and will surely buy the next concert Bluray as well.

TLDR: Overall, 5/7. Would recommend to buy the Bluray. 😄

Looks great!

Yes, it is. Track number two is called “ハイライト” -> Highlight.

Edit: Found it on YouTube

Thanks for posting this. My favorite MOTFD song is “Highlight” but “Endroll” is a close second. “Highlight” should be on the same album as “Endroll”.

What does DSO stand for?
