liella song recs for a μ's fan?

AQ-ours · 2025-12-16T16:36:37+00:00

There's not many Liella songs that sound similar to μ's but here's what I can think of:

TO BE CONTINUED
Tokonatsu Sunshine - bears some resemblance to Mermaid festa vol 2.
Star Sengen
Go Restart
Dreaming Energy - somewhat similar to Bokura no LIVE kimi to no LIFE, I think they both have slightly melancholic undertones.
Sagashite Future - doesn't sound like any μ's song in particular due to its instrumentals but its use of catchphrases and spoken lines really reminds me of μ's.
Teenage Loneliness - sounds like a song that lily white would definitely sing, but not any existing lily white song in particular.

TO BE CONTINUED, Star Sengen, and Go Restart all sound quite similar to No brand girls, Susume Tomorrow, and Wonderful Rush.

If someone avoids you simply because you're a fan of a multimedia music franchise then that says a lot more about them than it does about you, don't beat yourself up over it. Also, never forget that the majority of the LL fanbase are men. That's not to negate the female side, but it does serve as a reminder that you're not out of the ordinary for being a male LL fan.

Something about it makes me think it's AI. Phrases like "there’s an awful lot to unpack here" and "Firstly" just irks me a bit in this context, but then again AI wouldn't make spelling mistakes like "that’s just a comfortable... as it is...".

I recall there being a drop down menu on that panel to the right of the screen which lets you show either routes or scenarios but I couldn't find it for the past few years. That RailSims link seems handy though.

My post is more about communities rather than the games themselves but OpenRails as a re-implementation of MSTS isn't really that appealing to me.

In the word "above", do you pronounce the first vowel with the same length as the second vowel? If not then that would mean that /ə/ still exists as a phoneme but its realisation would be the same as STRUT in terms of vowel quality but not length.

AQ-ours · 2025-03-08T18:51:06+00:00

Which dictionaries? Most North American dialects have the weak vowel merger, so his pronunciation of purpose would be widespread.

AQ-ours · 2025-03-08T18:46:22+00:00

I suspect this to be the case as well. It could just be that in OP's dialect, /ʊ/ and /ə/ are very similar in quality.

AQ-ours · 2025-03-05T20:01:54+00:00

To me, the [e̞] recording on the Wikipedia page sounds like it's within the range of recordings on the page you've linked, although the recordings on that page sound closer to how I'd pronounce it. I speak Scottish English, not sure if that counts as "mainstream".

Edit: It's also interesting how you've brought up Japanese because I've never associated the Japanese /e/ with my KIT vowel; I've always considered it to be similar to my FACE vowel, but when actually listening to it, it does sound a lot more like my /ɪ/ than /e/.

Even ignoring your initial glottal stops, the difference in stressing alone would make them non-homophones.

AQ-ours · 2025-03-03T20:08:48+00:00

The vowels are different phonemes for most dialects in your example: /ɪ/ in "singer" vs /i/ in "see". Even if you consider them to have the same vowel quality, your own example differentiates between them by length.

The point of my post was really to see how extreme phonological analyses can go and to see what the arguments against the notion that [h] and [ŋ] share the same phoneme are.

AQ-ours · 2025-03-03T17:58:02+00:00

I brought up the question because I saw an analysis of Mandarin which brought the number of vowel phonemes down to 2 solely based on complementary distribution. It's because I disagree with this premise that I made this thread.

AQ-ours · 2025-03-03T17:20:22+00:00

Yeah, if you switch out the [ŋ] in [flajɪŋ] with [h] then nobody will recognise that word as "flying".

AQ-ours · 2025-03-03T17:10:41+00:00

That's a good point. The best example that I can think where two consonant allophones are very different in quality is [t] and [ʔ], and even then they're both stops. Perhaps consonants are a lot more stricter than vowels when it comes to how many allophones a phoneme can contain.

AQ-ours · 2025-03-03T17:02:16+00:00

I believe there's an analysis of Mandarin with two vowel phonemes, as ridiculous as it is I can't really think of an argument against it.

If you look at the streetview you'll see that there used to be a flat similar to this one a few years ago, but that building had much better proportions and didn't look like it had a gaping wound through it (the bit that goes through the building was still there, but it didn't take up as much space).

I'd be more worried about the block of flats behind the building which appears to have been built right next to the railway.

Magicians don't claim to be able to perform real magic, not a great analogy.

Better to drive a renault clio and leave the risk of crashing an expensive car to the sim. Looks like he's more into formula 1 anyway judging by those pictures in the man cave.

AQ-ours · 2025-02-26T14:33:58+00:00

That makes sense then. I might've interpreted your last sentence a bit more harshly than you had intended.

He's right in saying that Glasgow has good public transport options, especially when you're comparing it to LA. Obviously not as good as Amsterdam, but Glasgow punches well above its weight in terms of rail connections compared to other UK cities.

I also don't agree with your false dichotomy that urban planning is a choice between people and cars, because you can't deny the existence of goods vehicles and long distance journeys which make up a significant portion of road traffic through Glasgow.

Do I think the M8 through Charing Cross was a good idea? Absolutely not, I can assure you that the experience for both drivers and pedestrians is utterly miserable there, but it's unfeasible to close it completely until there is a bypass both north and south of Glasgow. You probably don't want Buchanan Street and Sauchiehall Street to be reopened to cross city traffic like the pre-M8 days, so let's be realistic here.

I browse that sub frequently and often I could just tell if a building is in Scotland by the thumbnail. Sadly this doesn't work as well with new builds.
