The new song is good, too! It seems that we can expect great songs from muque in the future.

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.

I prefer digital books because of the following points:

• There is a book price control in Germany, meaning that you can't get new physical books cheaper. This does not apply to digital books.
• They take less physical space.
• I can read them everywhere with either my Smartphone that I already have with me at all times or my tablet. I do not have to plan to read a book when I'm on the go.
• I can quickly search for something in a reference book if I have it in digital form. This is not possible with physical books.

Only downside:

• I need to have a device when I want to read a digital book. And this needs to be charged. But this is rarely a problem.

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 welcome. I'm glad that I could help you :)

Thanks, I will check them out.

I'm fairly new to MikroTik and no expert either, but I don't think you need a second bridge. You can add your VLANs to the default bridge and handle internet access through firewall rules. Depending on your existing firewall logic, you may have to drop/reject all traffic from the IoT subnet to the internet and all other subnets. Make sure that you add the bridge also as a tagged interface to the VLAN! Else, the DHCP server and all services on the router can not reach the IoT subnet.

I would also recommend to segregate all traffic into different VLANs (WAN, LAN, IoT, ...). This makes it easy to manage firewall rules because you can then use either VLAN interfaces or interface lists containing multiple VLAN interfaces for similiar firewall rules. You can simply untag outgoing traffic on specific ports if you want and add a specific tag for incoming traffic.

I have a similiar setup running. Everything is separated into VLANs and these VLANs are configured on the default bridge. Routing/allowing and denying traffic to/from the internet is handled by firewall rules. And I have defined interface lists like NO_INTERNET_ACCESS, NO_LAN_ACCESS, etc. These lists are then used by the firewall rules. If you later want to add another VLAN that should not get access to the internet you can simply add it to the NO_INTERNET_ACCESS list and you do not have to alter your firewall rules for that specific VLAN.

Take this advice with a grain of salt. If possible, do not test this on your production network but on a separate, isolated router.

Wait, the peggies split up?!

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?

@awdsns@feddit.de 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".

I hope they come to Europe soon.

I love them, too. They are awesome!

What does DSO stand for?

Yeah, I agree. I've ordered the limited edition of the album "Watashi no Nocturne" which comes with a recording of a concert on Bluray. I'm excited to hear how they sound live.

Thanks again for posting this. I've been listening to this song every single day since you posted it. I can't get enough of it. :D

This channel seems to be new. It was created on 2023-07-06. There is also a link to the new channel on the overview page of the old channel so this seems legit.

Thanks, that's interesting.

I know what you mean. When I heard MOSHIMO for the first time, I didn't like the singers high pitched voice. But I got used to it after some time. Sadly, there aren't many songs where she sings with a deeper voice.

Yes, that's mostly their style. But they also have a few slower songs like "15fun" (15分) from the "Attouteki Shoujo-Manga Story" (圧倒的少女漫画ストーリー) album, which I can't find on YouTube right now; I could swear they had a MV for that song.

Edit: Found the MV on some chinese site called "bilibili". I don't know how official that is so I'm not posting a link here. If you're curious, google "moshimo 15分". It's the first link under the "videos" section.

This song is really good. I like it. And you're right, the bassist could be a bit louder.

If you're interested, here is a list of my favorite Chatmonchy songs:

• Tokimeki
• Renai Spirits
• Kokoro to Atama
• 8cm no Pinheel
• Make Up! Make up!
• Hira Hira Hiraku Himitsu no Tobira
• Oyashirazu

Most of the Chatmonchy discography should also be here on YouTube. They have a lot of different songs. I'm sure that there is something you may like :)

IMHO, Chatmonchy didn't consist of people who could not only write and play good music but rather talented musicians that did know how to play multiple different instruments. After Kumiko (the drummer until 2011) left the band, Akiko (bass) and Eriko (guitar) continued without any support musicians. Akiko played bass, drums and piano. Eriko played guitar, drums and piano as well. For some songs, they recorded one guitar part and played that in the background. So they sounded not like a two-piece band. You can see what I mean here where they played Konbini Honeymoon. They played an entire concert "Henshin TOUR '13 @ Zepp DiverCity" (which was released on Bluray) with this formation. I find this amazing.

Later, they did have support guitarists, support drummers and a support pianist. This can be seen at the Budokan concert held in 2015. They played some songs with two drummers! How cool is that?

Sorry for the rambling. I hope you understand what mean, I'm tired so my english is a bit janky.

You're welcome :)

It's interesting to see how the style of some artists progresses/changes over time.

What software did you use to make this diagram?

Thanks for sharing this. I like both songs.

Nice 👍

You're welcome. Which SCANDAL concert did you attend?

I was at the Berlin concert last year. It was absolutely awesome!
