Please enjoy the time you have, be as immature as you want to be
I am 34, 20 years older than you, and people pulled out on me that I shouldn’t behave like this or that my age anymore online. Then they throw out “get them a job” and other dumb stuff.

Don’t waste your time growing up too fast your teenage years fly by before you even know it and then you look around and go “wait, I’m how old?! that was 5 years ago it feels like a life time!”

How come some bands have a track playing as there performing the same song like Jigsaw I noticed in multiple videos the vocalist Buki would stop singing some parts and the other members were not near there mics but Buki singing voice would keep playing cause there a track

https://x.com/jigsaw_offi/status/1768269758577934774/video/1 like this one Buki stops singing the other members keep playing and very clearly Buki voice is still going cause the song is playing on a track

No hate to Jigsaw there very talented members and Buki is a fantastic vocalist

Should be a backtrack, for vocalists a backtrack can have additional vocals to make the voice sound fuller or more, or for guitarists it can have the second guitar, if no guitarist is there etc. Stuff like that.

But sure, those backtrack can also end up in the guitarist fake playing or the vocalist not singing and so on.

Aw, I hope more fans can understand what backtracks are so they don’t get claims of being fake there a really talented band any rare videos of there concert is always fun to watch

some bands will play harsh vocals exclusively over speakers like this to preserve their clean voice! Heavier bands would definitely judge them for this, but eh. priorities.

I went to go see Royz for their 7hr liveshow and all the harsh vocals there were backtracked, thankfully - Subaru’s voice was fried by the sixth hour already lol

7hr live show? Uh, only if there is the possibilty to sit - I won’t stand in one spot (aside from toilet breaks, getting something to drink, etc.) for seven hours. My poor veins :sob:
How does that even work? Obviously, there must be breaks.
It sounds exhausting to me :sweat_smile:

Maybe not as extreme as 7 hours but Sailing before the wind did a 2 hour live show, but with 2 hours of harsh vocals (still with their former vocalist)
And sbtw don’t use backtracks

I hate that so much, especially with my older friends that are of age to get a job. Let people live. Ive found that the people that nag others on the internet are usually more jobless or whatever than the people theyre harassing lmao

While listening to Dimlim I can’t help but feel sad about the fact that we probably won’t hear Sho sing again on a record. Man what a loss for the Scene.

Yeah, him and Akane (D.I.D, Para:noir) seem definitely out of the scene. Very unlikely that we see them again, unfortunately…

look at how long kisui and mako were absent from recording and performing

iirc akane has mental health issues, but like fda just approved new medication last year with good results and less side-effects that could possibly help him get back together if it’s that bad

Hello everyone, I’m back again.
TW death Saying that is the naked truth. I’m in the hospital since Thursday, first one, then got transferred to another one because of more expertise. And apparently my vitamin B12 and folic acid couldn’t be measured anymore, therefore no iron can be produced and it could have ended that I don’t get to the second clinic alive. But I made it.

I hope I don’t have to stay too long despite the seriousness.

My vacation officially starts tomorrow when I hop on a plane and go to Japan! :tada: I didn’t use any of my paid vacation days last year and saved them all for this trip, so it’s been a long time coming.
I did manage to spiral into really bad anxiety last night thinking about how I’m going to get to the airport for my return flight, but I just need to keep reminding myself that things will work out (and I did buy a bus ticket, I just overthink too much lmao)

Does anyone know if there’s any Hachiko (or generally dog themed) souvenirs somewhere? My dad requested a dog themed fridge magnet if I come across any but I don’t know where I should start looking

Dog themed Souvenirs should be no problem. There is a lot Shiba Inu themed stuff. It’s pretty popular with tourists so you should have no trouble finding it.
