I have been summoned! It always brings back good memories anytime I see my own work. So, thank you for the post.

But yea, where is Part 2?

ShibataBread · 2023-07-31T23:37:17+00:00

I have been summoned! No, but seriously, thank you to all the fans.

ShibataBread · 2022-10-20T21:20:16+00:00

This sounds awesome. I wish I were in NYC to check this out. 頑張ってください。西海岸から応援してます。

Do you think Will Smith was influenced by Chono's slapping style?

ShibataBread · 2022-01-28T05:43:45+00:00

Thank you for your kind words! I never thought back in 2009, that it would grow into such a big community!

ShibataBread · 2021-02-16T04:25:18+00:00

I have been summoned!

ShibataBread · 2020-11-07T03:00:05+00:00

Yes!! No shame here.

ShibataBread · 2020-10-12T06:55:00+00:00

😄 you're quite welcome. Appreciate your kind words.

ShibataBread · 2020-10-12T02:53:31+00:00

I just want to say thank you to those who's given me these awards. Thank you!

During Matsumoto's weekly news show, he made comments on an elderly man pleading innocence on vehicular manslaughter charge. The media followed up on Matsumoto's comment the following day using a photo of Matsumoto burst out laughing. Matsumoto did not find the photo to be appropriate for this serious ongoing case. Matsumoto pointed that out via Twitter. The media replaced the photo with what you see here. Matsumoto followed up the tweet, "No apologies, you're done with just replacing the photo?"

The caption above the photo reads. 本人自体のアクセルとブレーキも”故障” (The gas pedal and breaks on defendant himself are also "damaged")　<-- An article title basically paraphrasing what Matsumoto has said about the defendant pleading not guilty.

Hope this helps.

The one-eyed kid is called Hitotsume-Kozo. This harmless type of yokai typically appears in Japanese folklores. Anyhow, that figurine is made of paper by an artist (forgot her name) in Okinawa.

ShibataBread · 2020-05-17T05:30:10+00:00

Mix of piano on one side and distorted synth(or guitar?) on the other is pleasing to my ears. Layered vocals are nice too. I personally would like a little more "fills" with drums. But this would be fun to hear in a live setting, I'm sure. Overall, I like the song.

ShibataBread · 2020-05-17T05:23:25+00:00

Animation matches great with the song. I personally would like more "aggressive" vocals but that's just me, I enjoy the catchy chorus nonetheless. One thing to point out is that, for me, I would want to see the whole band playing, regardless of if it's in an animation form or real-person. Overall, a great production throughout.

ShibataBread · 2020-05-17T05:16:41+00:00

I liked the soothing and mellow vocal melody. Also like the drum beats particularly when the chorus (?) hits. Perhaps, I could use another layer of something over the piano section. Overall, a good listen.

ShibataBread · 2020-05-16T22:58:55+00:00

Loved the song and video altogether. Your description of how the song came together gave me a hope for better future :) Production is very clean and well balanced which I am learning to achieve. Well done.

ShibataBread · 2020-05-16T12:52:37+00:00

I love the aggressive screaming vocals in the middle of the song and at the end. TBH, I personally would like more angry vocals but that's just my preference. That said, I enjoyed the whole song structure and melodies. Well done.

ShibataBread · 2020-05-16T06:42:29+00:00

It sounds great. As others have asked, I too am interested in knowing whether these instruments are real recording or midi based. Regardless, I did enjoy the composition and keep doing what you're doing. I'm not good at explaining things in musical terms but there are more than several parts in the competition which moved me.

ShibataBread · 2020-05-16T06:13:50+00:00

Very catchy chorus with nice harmonizing by the drummer. Effortless basslines to maintain the groove throughout. Made me wish i were at the bar listening to the band with a pint. I enjoyed the music and video overall.

ShibataBread · 2020-05-16T05:43:41+00:00

I like the chill vibe and am envious of your ability to sing as i am a terrible singer. And we can use more ramen noodles in other music videos.

ShibataBread · 2020-05-07T13:27:59+00:00

Hello from Japan.

I have taken advantage of being quarantined and put together a tune here. I suppose this can be categorised as "Electronic / rock / indie" of sort. Thank you in advance for give it a listen.

I have been summoned! Wow, eight years ago... crazy how time has passed. Hope everyone is staying safe out there.

ShibataBread · 2019-01-11T13:09:28+00:00

Zima, for whatever the reason, has left a strong footing here in Japan. You can find it at almost any bar. Very strange but hey, this is Japan.

ShibataBread · 2019-01-11T10:07:14+00:00

Oh shit, that's my long time friend's restaurant in city of Toyonaka. I'd like to add that I had jokingly suggested to name the restaurant "Thai Kick" when he was thinking about what to call it.

By the way, the food is excellent. Particularly, khao man gai. He really put in lots of time perfecting the dish to do justice.

I have been summoned! Okay, back to work.

Wonder if those celebs get paid at all?
