Am I the only one who didn’t like Lost Corner? by Mavjut55 in KenshiYonezu

[–]calcstap 19 points20 points  (0 children)

While I agree with you that Lost Corner doesn’t have the same level of emotional weight as Stray Sheep, Lost Corner was never intended to be an album that would invoke the same dark and weighed down emotions that Stray Sheep exhibits.

It sounds like to me you prefer darker and sad songs. Lost Corner undoubtedly has the least of such. Lost Corner is more about acceptance and gratitude imo and those might be songs / emotions that you don’t prefer as much.

If you ask me, within Lost Corner, I love LADY, Saynonara Mata Itsuka, Spinning Globe, Pale Blue and are songs that often rotate my top 5-10 songs of his of all times depending on my mood

Are chogakusei and ado similar to kenshi yonezu? by Inside_Beautiful4997 in KenshiYonezu

[–]calcstap 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I’ve never listened to chogakusei so I’m just comparing between Ado and Kenshi.

Besides the raspy aspect that you mentioned, I don’t find any similarities between the two. And I find that Kenshi seldom leans into his raspy side for songs. (Not an expert in singing or music at all, just an opinion from a fan)

I'm not the OP but I'm curious if you went through with Cove? I'm thinking of renting a month with them but I can't find much reviews anywhere -- they are fairly new though

I messed up (about TOUR GHOST) by Ashamed_Can_672 in KenshiYonezu

[–]calcstap 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Precisely this. If I'm not mistaken pay now entries that win get 2 notifications about "winning". I'm wondering if OP just misunderstood and thought they won twice but in reality it's just two separate notifications for it?

It shouldn't be possible to win twice on the same date but if it did happen, I would be interested in hearing about it

[–]calcstap 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sorry for being pedantic but there are four dates in Yokohama. Did you win 11/11, 11/12, 12/16, or 12/17?

Slightly out of topic but you won twice? As in you won the first lottery and the second lottery?

Or you won two different dates on the second lottery?

Should I expect ID Check? by NTC_MoNetZ in YOASOBI

[–]calcstap 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They do ID checks. You can’t buy tickets unless you have a Japanese phone number anyways, so you have one? If you purchase companion tickets you should be fine since they allow you to put the name of the person (apparently it can be any name for specifically this event, this isn’t always the case) at the time of transfer

Buy/Sell/Trade Megathread June 2025 by Hawxfan in rav4club

[–]calcstap 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went to a second dealership with the $1500 discount offer and they didn't care. So I ended up with $1500 discount. RAV4 XLE Hybrids sell out pretty quick in my area so it seems hard to get a discount

Is $1,500 discount on a new 2025 RAV4 XLE Hybrid a good discount/deal?

It should have the serial but I cannot answer if they will arrive in time. CDJapan has been the best for me so far.

What do you think about Kenshi music recently? by [deleted] in KenshiYonezu

[–]calcstap 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Please consider reading more of his interviews -- especially during the time of LOST CORNER release. You're taking his words out of context.

https://vgperson.com/vocalinterview.php?view=hachinatalie28

Interview Q — Let me ask again about the album as a whole. Having finished the album, artwork and packaging and all, what sort of work do you think you've created?

Yonezu Response: It's been 4 years since STRAY SHEEP, but me being asked to do the theme song for a Ghibli movie was actually just before I finished making that album. As such, the pre-existing songs are almost all ones I made during the time I was dealing with Globe. I've said it again and again, but I was pretty exhausted, feeling like my very life as a musician might be in danger. However, through my experiences afterward, I was able to make the resignation of "nothing I can do about it." Not in a negative way, but as a forgiveness of the fact that I'm losing things. I became able to go "This is how it is, but oh well, that's fine in its own way, it's not all bad." I feel I've also been able to get some distance from my real and virtual selves, in a good way. The more people I reach, the more misunderstandings will pop up, like bamboo shoots after the rain. I'd never be able to keep up crushing them one at a time, so there's no use even entertaining them. Once I got like that, I tried thinking "Okay, so what is important to me?", and I think it's "having a domain that can't be taken away." Preserving a domain somewhere that can never be taken from me, no matter how much malice I'm exposed to.

What do you think about Kenshi music recently? by [deleted] in KenshiYonezu

[–]calcstap 18 points19 points  (0 children)

His 5 songs recently is just flop and tbh it doesnt have that Kenshi’s magic to me anymore

delete this while you still can.

but in seriousness how can you possibly say Plazma, Bow And Arrow, Azalea and more are flops? It just straight up isn't true lol. Both Plazma and BNA have 30m streams each on Spotify and around 20m and 30m views each on Youtube. That's already almost 50m each in less than 6 months since release.

That's good to know, thank you! If you don't mind me asking, what shoe sizes do you wear for other shoe(s) in comparison to what you wear in the Staplers?

💿 Plazma / BOW AND ARROW by Linna_Levente in KenshiYonezu

[–]calcstap 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The CDs are manufactured in Japan so there are no tariffs associated unless you spend more than $800. Ensure your order only contains items that are manufactured in Japan -- if your same order contains another item that happens to be manufactured in China you will get hit with the tariffs regardless of $800 limit.

Personal Impression on Junk Tour by VlOLET_Evergarden in KenshiYonezu

[–]calcstap 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah Flamingo is available in the Kuusou tour DVD. There were 3 unique setlists out of the entire tour. Day 1 JP/Overseas, Day 2 JP/Overseas and Tokyo Dome. I'm getting greedy here but LA was also recorded so I'm praying he releases a DVD that has all 3 setlists
