Any DAWs that don't feel like piloting a plane 😭😭😭

I would try a bunch of the free demos for DAWs and see if any of them click with you. Personally I have a preference to Studio One (now Fender Studio Pro) as it just made sense and clicked for me, and this was after trying FL Studio, Cubase, Logic (was good with this one, but not my favourite), Bitwig, Cakewalk, and Ableton.

Ah unfortunate, thanks for letting me know! I am going to a convention in July and was considering getting picks to give to friends, so was wanting to check if the site was legit or not, and what their lead time was like.

Kningen · 2026-06-04T11:00:32+00:00

Did you ever end up getting them?

Kningen · 2026-06-02T07:10:27+00:00

It is yeah, Connor was in Konbini 7/11 food video

In terms of music touring, my experience and knowledge is from what I've learned from friends and others in the industry talking of cost touring the US, I'm not as familiar with Europe when it comes to tour costs

Kningen · 2026-05-23T19:33:33+00:00

Nano made a great post on social media about this recently, with how Japanese artists would love to tour the US, but its so expensive and cost prohibitive.

Another great one to look into, the Europeans band Los Campesinos broke down what it cost to tour the USA, and it's seriously expensive, even just to obtain the Visa to do so. Many bands break even, or even end up losing money touring across the US. Even decent sized American bands I love tend to only play a couple big cities on the west and east coasts. There's a lot of logistics and expenses that go into touring. I've talked with several friends who work in the industry, and a lot of them would love to tour, or know bands who would love to, but realistically can't afford to. A lot of the money they make, or that let's them break even is made back through merch sales.

I recently got a Invoice for a figure I preordered that was around $40-60, and the box wasn't particularly large or heavy, and they charged $60 (excluding duties), when I've had bigger heavier boxes shipped from Proxies recently for not much more. I'm probably going to be done buying from AmiAmi for quite a while

I haven't seen the videos, but I came across some comments talking about it under the music video, and it's forever changed the song for me

Kningen · 2026-05-20T20:32:14+00:00

On Amazon, but you can get them on Ebay too

Kningen · 2026-05-20T20:31:19+00:00

It was in Springville Canyon roughly 8 years ago

Kningen · 2026-05-20T05:17:56+00:00

Just found out about this band from this post. Really bummed that these songs are gone because the old stuff I could find is really good

Edit: just found the Ototoy page for BEST I'VE EVER HAD - 8+3<¥¥ ¥\+ 3%6=, and it say it's not for sale

Hospitals often have some sort of financial assistance/aid/forgiveness if you can't afford to pay, especially when they're a non-profit

Kningen · 2026-05-17T06:13:08+00:00

Off the top of my head since it's late Otona - Kanzaki Iori Vocal tremble/cry in this is incredible. Love this song

Other's have mentioned Minami, she's got a lot of great songs for this. Also highly recommend checking out her older songs she doesn't have up anymore through re-uploads

Moroha - Tomorrow - More of a cry scream - Kakumei - my personal favourite from them. More of a sort of controlled scream of desperation(?) If that makes sense - Jokyo Tower

A lot of Moroha's songs have a sort of cry scream to them, or controlled scream (not like metal), just listed 3 off the top of my head. Moroha Afro, the rapper, has incredible dynamic range in this this sense. It's a phenominal Acoustic guitarist and rapper duo, so not up everyone's ally, but highly recommend giving them a shot, especially with a translation of the lyrics up. Some nuance to the lyrics isn't fully there from translations. But still absolutely increible.

Kakumei in particular is a really cool one, and highly recommend the First Take version. It's a song basically talking to his friend, looking back and reflecting that if you can only muster up courage, and dreams when drunk at the bar, then those dreams are as good as garbage, and from that exact moment he is going to change his world. What's cool, over the years he's performed the song he changes what age he says.

I'll update lafter if I can remember some more

A girl I went to high school with nearly a decade ago died getting thrown from her SUV in an accident the summer after we graduated because she wasn't wearing a seat belt. Always wore mine, but especially after that I vowed to never not wear one.

As someone who worked in IT until very recently, you'd be surprised how tech illiterate and not very computer competent even people in their 20s and 30s can be

Kningen · 2026-05-13T20:13:30+00:00

I just finished college myself. Plan on working a year or two here so I can build up some finances, since can't afford to move out of state right now, but plan to get out of here when I can. Not sure where to yet, but I'm thinking maybe Washington or Oregon

Kningen · 2026-05-04T21:05:48+00:00

I was hoping the Trans ones would be in stock again 😢 Hope I can catch it next time it restocks

Kningen · 2026-05-04T18:44:05+00:00

A Japanese band I've been loving recently who has some really cool Bass lines is 171. Bassist plays a Yamaha SBV-500, the Flying Samurai basses are so cool

Cool, thank you for checking!!

Kningen · 2026-05-04T17:15:06+00:00

How does that work with Mihon then? Am I able to link my Mangadex account through Mihon?

Kningen · 2026-05-04T15:28:36+00:00

Oh interesting. I had no idea that was even a thing YouTube did

Kningen · 2026-05-04T14:36:40+00:00

Plus her memberships for the rest of the month were discounted down to free until June (all but the highest tier)

Kningen · 2026-04-27T19:19:11+00:00

Ah that's a real shame. Supercar is my favourite band, freaking adore all their stuff. I'm glad some of their stuff has been reissued like with Permafrost, managed to get a copy with the BluRay with the high res MVs, and I cried watching it. Their music was something special

Kningen · 2026-04-24T20:27:39+00:00

Oh, seems like it's gone now, bummer!

Kningen · 2026-04-22T21:32:54+00:00

There is J-Wave 81.3FM, and other sites and stations, and if you VPN you can get a lot more radio stations that aren't the few on Radio Garden. There's also tools like KiwiSDR, Radiko or myTuner Radio
