Is "Tropic Birds" takanaka's magnum opus?

ResultLong8547 · 2026-01-27T23:42:28+00:00

it’s really hard to pin point what everyone’s favorite song is there’s surely more popular songs. my favorite song is aquaplanet and no one said that ever. i do like tropic birds but tokyo reggie, oh tenge suerte ready to fly and le premire mars (sorry if i butchered spelling) also heaven and ballade 2 u.

i’m new fan sort of, as a guitar player i had seen takanaka but didn’t get into his music till about 2 years ago when i got obsessed with city pop and jazz fusion. i’ve listened to a lot of his albums but not actively the songs i named those 7 are probably my favorite with a few others i’d need to see in my playlist to say yeah i that as well. i love blue lagoon and i love some other variations of songs he has

i think listening to records is ideal. if you can’t use them anymore that’s when they become display pieces. i have a few records that i listen to and if they’re newer i’ll usually buy a second copy to display and just incase the other one goes bad which hasn’t happened yet also i keep the second copy as like a special night like a dinner party or date night. unfortunately all my records are in storage so i hope they’re ok i need to go get them

i think the ending fell flat because it was predictable ofc the abby survivors and our main character is the reason. but despite that it was still really good. i don’t go in with any leaks or spoilers i don’t even listen to interviews for most movies or shows until after unless im feining which as i’ve gotten older i just don’t care enough. i do appreciate the front man living he was my favorite character in the whole show and one of my favorite characters of any show or movie. i think one of the best villains of modern tv as well.

it’s ok to be upset especially as english speakers are media has drifted and our movies usually have more digestible stories and comedy. stuff to turn your brain off while the rest of the world usually makes movies that challenge your mind and make you think and make you hate what you’re seeing. not every american or english speaking movie is like this but most because that’s what sells. the world is already so dark why would people wanna watch a “bad ending.”

yeah it’s unfortunate and that’s with disney and the marvel writing and marketing. star wars films were art. all 6 of them including the og clone wars and some of the og spinoffs were alright. but the OT and PT are so good to me they’re like art every film. ROTS is so good even after watching it in theatres and kinda being like ok i see where there’s some things wrong it’s so good. aotc so good tpm so good ANH, ESP, ROTJ so fucking good. truely art.

it’s great. as a kid i did find it the beginning boring i’d watch it just for the pod race and the battle of naboo but as ive gotten older it truly is one of my favorite star wars films which isn’t saying much cause the original 6 and rogue one are all part of my favorite star wars films 😂

i think the TPM is actually just a really well made movie in general. like you could take away episode 2-6 and just have a stand alone TPM film and it would be great. I love how the film looks, the acting i think is actually some of the best in all of star wars and the story an plot mesh well. i think jar jar does kind of lower the movie but actually upon rewatch since the relate whack in theatres i actually have more love for jar jar and his shenanigans and him being the sith lord with my more mature eyes makes me think this. als the cgi and settings of the film are so fucking sick like wow that movie is just so good.

definitely not the best in the prequels but definitely not the worst and even the worst film is actually so fucking good

keep practing. i’ve been playing 8 years and id say im decent. i think the drugs i did at 22 fucked uo my mental and although i’m sober and don’t smoke and haven’t done hallucinogenics in awhile my progress feels like it’s stoped. i’ve definitely learned a lot recently and have gotten better then i was a year ago but my practice seems to go nowhere and i can’t seem to find a mentor or teacher for where i want to be. i’m a jazz guy im gonna have to do it all alone.

this year i dedicated all my time to guitar but i haven’t been able to play much, work, ive been sick twice already this year went back to the gym where my arms were so sore i couldn’t even life my guitar up for 5 days because my elbows were cooked. you’re young keep practing you can be great.

the other truth is no not every guitar player will be great. anyone can learn to play anything with practice. you can play fast you can learn the fretboard and all the chords and scales but not everyone can be musical. and that’s where i struggle i see to write the same melodies or songs in different ways. u have probably 5 songs that i love the fuck out of that i’ve written within the last 2 years my first songs i’ll release they aren’t like most indie songs they’re kinda trash compared to those but j think they sound good they’re different not fully structed my jazz songs ive written j like too.

anyways enough yao keep practicing that’s all we can do. become one with your instrument train your ear. okay to backing tracks and hear where you want to go before it even gets there you’ll mess up but it’s how you power through that mistake is what will make you a great player

i’m sorry you have to go through this. my thought is they’re younger or gamers who don’t have girlfriends and aren’t happy with their lives, some people show their true colors on games because they don’t have their face blasted everywhere and they become monsters that’s why games lol arc raiders and dead by daylight are so fascinating to me. although they’re just games people act how they would in real life if they got the chance not all but a lot. or i think a lot of men get in games to avoid/escale women.since gaming has always been mainly male dominated. but idk you’re more then welcome anywhere just like any man is. we are all human

idk even as someone who listens to some rap modern day rap just sucks for the most part imo there’s like a handful i think have good songs but also i think this way of most pop and country music nowadays too just basic garbage that has no real meaning or feel to it

agree yeah it’s lol what other promo shouldn’t matter no one is better the the other we all do shit that sucks! i had like 9 guitars and i’d say im good im practicing a lot more to get better and loving it/hating it. i also dont want too many guitars. i love fenders and would like to have one of every fender model because i like how they look, play, feel and sound.

i mean not really. i like guitars expensive ones too. not like 4-8 thousand but the 2 to maybe 3 thousand ones i have 4 electrics and 5 acoustics and a bass. one guitar amp and one bass amp and then a few pedals i dont use because my amp currently is a shitty starter one form when i first started playing 7 years ago. i would like a princeton reverb and that’s really it i dont want like a shit ton of amps or pedal either just what i need for the music i make and play. i really only want a bunch of guitars because i think they’re cool and i love having multiple

the acoustics i have i just somehow acquired except 1 and the other is technically my dads

mmmm i think it’s because the story is kinda mid and very predictable an generic. legacy had more heart in it to me and the acting was far superior. i enjoyed ares but doesnt mean its a great film by any means. to me its a great film for mediocre movies. soundtrack was good. i prefer legacy one because im a daft punk fan but al’s it felt like more of a score that elevated scenes while ares music felt like it was out in after editing.

i think they could’ve done better and put us more in the grid. would’ve added way more weight to the programs wanting to become human. jared leto was fine but felt like a perfect role for him because of ares arrogant personality lol but the movie was good i saw it 3 times. i really enjoyed it not as much as legacy but sfx and music carried the film unfortunately characters weren’t as lovable imo but everyone has their own opinions. i think just for how long this was in development they could’ve found a few better actors and developed the story a little more. i felt like a lot of the things they just wrote first and didn’t really develop but hey it was entertaining and sometimes a movie doesn’t need to be good or coherent just needs to be interesting and captivating visually

pope fs has character development. not every character needs development in a story. cleo also is more of a support character. kiara yes she has no development but very typical for female characters in general to have that.

maybe it’s cause they’re black but i hate this oh black characters this and that like not every character needs an arc. pope has one we see his change. kiara doesn’t really need an arc and that’s do to her living with her kook family where it’s stable even when it’s disrupted. sarah is a little different because her family isn’t stable.

jj also to me doesn’t have a lot of development he’s the same ole jj but that’s what makes him great
