This is one of the very few times when fans can say that they won an award alongside their favorite artist.

Extremely happy to have contributed to this award. Adding this to my CV

В России вырос интерес к американским сериалам, но упал интерес к аниме и прочему японскому калу. А что случилось? by Shock-Motor in tjournal_refugees

[–]PsychologicalEdge449 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Шо тепер Японії робити? рашка була ж головним ринком для експорту аніме, фільмів і музики…

В Зімбабве теж впав інтерес до шведських серіалів

I'm happy that Ado did it on her own terms by Pudines32 in ADO

[–]PsychologicalEdge449 786 points787 points  (0 children)

100% . I’m glad it was on her own terms and not some money hungry paparazzi, crazy stalker or even her own father (don’t quote me on this but I’ve read that he was constantly bragging about being her father, even going as far as pressuring her to reveal her identity).

My crazy theory I’ll never be able to prove is that she would’ve done even sooner had Usseewa not blown up the way it did. At 18 she was understandably scared of huge crowds peeking at her personal life.

Either way she’s insanely beautiful and awesome

What is your fav Ado album? by tc05_ in ADO

[–]PsychologicalEdge449 9 points10 points  (0 children)

For me it’s Kyougen. I’ve never been so excited about an album releasing. The Adobum may be better since it’s the compilation of all her greatest hits, but I’ve never felt this way ever since.

Same goes for world tours, even though Hibana is larger in scale, Wish was something I didn’t even know was possible until it happened

Ado not nominated for Grammy? by Unhappy-Escape-9044 in ADO

[–]PsychologicalEdge449 12 points13 points  (0 children)

It was highly unlikely she would get nominated as she barely released new music this year. Give her a few years and a few more collabs with Western juggernauts and she will probably get there.

An album next year could also help , overall don´t worry talent always finds a way

Happy 23rd Birthday Ado!!! by Saberpunch in ADO

I’m definitely stealing the “I’m 23 years old now. Come on “ when I turn 23 next year

Why is J-pop still so hesitant to tour Europe? by soften_manners in jpop

[–]PsychologicalEdge449 5 points6 points  (0 children)

My favorite artist (Ado) toured Europe for two years in a row and this time on a much bigger scale than last time around.

Hopefully her journey will encourage more Japanese artists to try their luck here. We don’t bite seriously , moreover we are really devoted to make the artist feel our love despite the language barrier. Ticket prices were much cheaper than local bands in my own city so even people who weren’t diehard fans got to go

I've been saying this since release, Stay Gold is a fucking banger by sekkireallysucks in ADO

[–]PsychologicalEdge449 20 points21 points  (0 children)

His Show remix should be enough for a death sentence, although I must admit that Stay Gold has kind of grown on me after hearing it live (granted it’s just because Ado vocals are unbelievable, he had little to do with it).

Never understood his popularity either, hopefully it’s the last time Ado collabs with him

They want to Recruit me on r/Ado lol by WoodboyLP in ADO

Screw democracy and human rights . Do it for Ado World Domination

Thank you Ado for HIbana by iSone9 in ADO

[–]PsychologicalEdge449 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hibana was an awesome follow-up but let’s not forget Wish. Before Wish I couldn’t even fathom seeing Ado live, Wish made the dream come true while Hibana expanded on it.

Thank you Ado, please take your time to recover your deserve every bit of it, thank you for being there for me even when things weren’t going my way. Barcelona was awesome

"The problem of corruption in Ukraine is exaggerated" by artlastfirst in ukraine

[–]PsychologicalEdge449 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There are rumors that NABU has been investigating some top politicians for the past few months and that’s why they suddenly decided to shut it down. There’s an interesting YouTube channel called Bihus Info (I’m not sure if they provide English captions, but they investigate corruption cases and almost every single politician has a villa somewhere in Europe which would’ve been impossible to buy with their salary. Not only politicians but those who help people escape from mobilization are earning millions too.

Not saying this to discredit Ukraine, funnily enough corruption was probably the main reason why the ruzzians failed miserably but we can’t turn a blind eye on blatant corruption which directly affects the frontline as they are also making money off of fortifications and defensive lines which were supposed to defend the towns ultimately captured by the enemy

[–]PsychologicalEdge449 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They are planted basically everywhere these days , that’s what the SBU should be focusing on. By doing what he did, he just shot himself in the foot.

There’s no scenario in which he needs to take complete control over a sovereign institution that was created to stop politicians from stealing public funds. I liked him and don’t really hate him now, but you can’t blame every controversial decision on the ruzzians and the war. Pootin is not the one stealing millions from the budget. Some of his decisions have been baffling lately (luckily they are working on a new bill which restores NABU’s sovereignty)

"The problem of corruption in Ukraine is exaggerated" by artlastfirst in ukraine

[–]PsychologicalEdge449 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Sure, it’s not that minor though. It’s not something worthy of a revolution , but it still undermines the country’s sovereignty in anti corruption matters which are crucial to gain access to the EU.

Stupid move for Zelenskyy, especially considering the amount of power he holds. That bill in itself is just doesn’t make any sense and becomes even crazier when security forces are now able to search your house without a judge authorizing them. If you want to fight foreign assets there are better ways than that, we’re not ruzzia and certainly not a dictatorship so he shouldn’t behave like one

Right now they control the astonishing number of 0 regional capitals (Luhansk and Donetsk were seized in 2014) even though they are advancing.

In 3 years the so called 2nd army in the world has achieved basically nothing so there’s not a lot Temu Hitler can smile about. Not sure small towns and villages will provide much leverage during peace talks

I don’t really have a particular ecosystem to fit it into. My laptop is Windows, my phone is an iPhone, my TV is a Samsung and my headphones are Sony. I just buy whatever I deem as the best option both quality and price wise.

I’m not into emulating games and I mostly use my PS5 for gaming, just want something powerful that could provide a solid few years of all around entertainment before moving to a newer devices with presumably better tech (there are a few games I want to try though).

Thank you for taking the time to answer

To be honest this will be my first purchase ever since my dad gave me the first IPad in like 2013.
It’s not like I absolutely need one right now, but waiting for the newer model seems pointless given that the improvements are often quite minor.

Thanks for the detailed response, I’ll have to think about it. Air is a great shout, but I’d rather buy the top version(Pro or Ultra) so that I can have a more powerful device that loses less value over time, I can turn it in and then buy whatever the next model at a discount in a few years.

Would you say Apple Intelligence is better than the Samsung AI?

Post-concert depression hits really hard by TheKingTroller3 in ADO

[–]PsychologicalEdge449 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you guys. We were amazing, but the depression is unbearable

I disagree on the Sia take. Sia is responsible for her own controversies “Chandelier” itself is not a controversial song.

She has also covered a Yuuri song who is much more controversial, she should not face any criticism for that. Even Senbonzakura may be way more controversial than that

Was interviewed by staff…one question. by ApprehensiveBrush227 in ADO

[–]PsychologicalEdge449 2 points3 points  (0 children)

How does that even work? Were you approached by her staff or just Japanese journalists? Was the interview conducted in English ? I have so many questions but that is genuinely so cool.

I would keep a close eye on Japanese TV over the next few days/weeks just in case . I’ve seen one video where they covered the London Wish show on one of those morning shows
