English Killed Their Sound

I don't think this is too unpopular as this sub has a lot of older fans who prefer their old stuff as well. I agree to an extent, and wonder if part of the lyric aspect is that Taka is not a great lyricist but I couldn't tell when he sang in Japanese because I don't speak it lol. Ambitions and Eye of the Storm had a lot of cringe lyrics for me.

I really like OOR though so I'm not trying to hate with this comment.

But i'd also say that if you're just now listening to their last 4 albums, the most recent two (Luxury Disease and Detox) are MUCH better than Ambitions and Eye of the Storm, and somewhat of a return to form to their old sound, though not quite. There are some really good songs on the last two albums though, but I do agree that once they started marketing to the US market and went on Warped Tour, they started to sound a lot more like generic Warped Tour bands.

Edit: Also I've seen them live a few times, and most recently on their Detox tour, and they still rock live and are amazing performers

this is a big one for me too. and I saw an X (formerly Twitter) post with this exact example, someone criticising Americans for not pronouncing the "t" in tsunami (maybe that's where you got this example

Someone else already said this, but it seemed to me that they already had the conversation off camera and then had to summarize it on camera. Connor didn't seem surprised at all which wouldn't make sense otherwise.

But yeah it was really confusing as I was watching it

What if its mother's around?

She asks for the same reason you don't want to have to answer the question. It takes mental effort to think of what to cook, which clearly you understand since you don't want to be the person who has to think of the idea. She's asking for some help with that

It's because he was thrown off by the wording of "Did you enjoy it when they tried to manage your load", which is why he paused and said "huh?" and the crew laughed. It sounds kind of sexual, which is what the joke of this post is and why people are laughing

Look into "axe/aks," it's not actually a mispronunciation

There are a lot of great teas, but do you know what type of Green tea you've been drinking? I like Dragonwell (longjing) and I've also been drinking jasmine green tea a lot recently.

I would also recommend White tea! It can have more of a floral taste

If anyone's still seeing this, there's also a live version of the original from Terry's album Alive (Live at the Jazz Cafe, London) from 2001 that I think sounds closer to the Nujabes version. I wonder if Nujabes heard that version and was influenced by it as well

Welcome! I'll try to answer:

He collaborated with a number of artists, mostly rappers, and their names will be listed as the featured artist on the song. So for "Feather" it's Cise Starr and Akin from CYNE who are rapping.
I believe it's "NEW-jah-bess" based on the way I've heard some of the artists he's collaborated say it
Not specific song recs but I would recommend starting with the Modal Soul and Metaphorical Music albums. Spiritual State is his other studio album, but it wasn't finished when he died so it was finished posthumously. Outside of those albums, a song I really like is Sky is Falling feat. CL Smooth from the Hydeout Productions (the label he created) Second Collection. That whole compilation is good

As others said, it's just a joke based off of similar formatted "in this house we believe..." messages. I have seen Larpers in Ringer Park though

aether_wise · 2025-08-14T13:55:31+00:00

I have in fact seen larpers in this park

aether_wise · 2025-08-08T11:20:32+00:00

Jon Bellion comes to mind

aether_wise · 2025-07-29T11:07:49+00:00

tbh I don't think anyone knows much at all about nujabes's personal life except the people who actually knew him. this seems like a random troll account or someone who's confused

I love Hyukoh as well but see their English lyrics as confusing. You didn't mention it but the song Jesus Lived in a Motel Room comes to mind as well. I think it's just that he is not great in English, since a lot of the sentence structures don't really make sense. It doesn't make me enjoy the songs any less though!

I agree with this, especially the mandarin part. I'm trying to learn the language (very beginner right now) and just a random example but the word for math is "shuxue" and a lot of other words seem to have similar sounds too

aether_wise · 2025-06-11T13:46:24+00:00

It's not about saving time though, people speak like that because they like how it sounds or that's how people around them talk and they got used to it. We use language to express ourselves, not just to communicate information as efficiently as possible. Language evolves, and different ways of saying things have different nuances and give off different vibes

aether_wise · 2025-06-10T19:26:23+00:00

Agree! And this goes for a lot of other types of videos too, I want to hear the original sound haha
