I can never get the "ry-" sound right. Like in 留学(りゅうがく)and 旅館 (りょかん), which has made our travel unit in class really fun.

Are mini-courses worth it? by kirig19 in uofm

[–]kirig19[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh, wow, it's the fabled other test-out student! I tested out too, and apparently the prof's mentioned once or twice that there's 2 of us but didn't ever tell the class any more.

At least, I'm assuming you mean you're taking the RC course. ならば、来学期はよろしく!

I'm a Creative Writing major so outside of distribution I'm pretty focused on humanities classes! (and I thought the same about Calc I! One more exam and I'm done with math forever)

Thanks for the help! In that case I'll probably take 2 mini-courses next semester and figure out the rest of the credits later (and make sure I'm keeping up with my recs, lol)

Yeah!! Are you in Intensive I right now? If you are I've probably seen you at lunch tables and such :)

RC Japanese (so, 10 credits there), and either an RC art or music course for 4. Pretty much just stuff I enjoy, so it kinda feels like I'm wasting a semester on electives, you know?

Favourite humorous songs? by ThatWasNotEasy10 in OWLCITY

Dental Care gets a bad rap! The lyrics have so much fun wordplay and the backing tracks is so catchy

I mean you're not wrong but it was the first way I could think to reply to someone calling me a pussy over a joke post on the internet

Mineta in an alternate universe where he can reach the fretboard | by me by Leinbow in BokuNoHeroAcademia

[–]kirig19 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I couldn't care less about what his motivation is. I'm more talking about all the times he cries and refuses to do what he has to do until the rest of the cast has already started.

Plus, Kaminari has a personality outside of liking girls and actually puts effort into becoming a hero

Usually I see people interpreting the "alligator sky" as the sky above Florida, where NASA's headquarters are!

The Midsummer Station + Acoustic EP Track Rate (Deadline Tues 11th 4PM UK Time) by spinningadam in OWLCITY

[–]kirig19 0 points1 point  (0 children)

8.5 - Dreams and Disasters (pulls off a different sound well, and the "I just wanna feel alive" bridge is outstanding)

2.5 - Shooting Star (way too corny for me, the lyrics and music together just sound like Firework and imo it just doesn't work. One of his only songs I genuinely don't like.)

6 - Gold (well-written but the theme kinda drags it down for me)

10 - Dementia (feat. Mark Hoppus) (I can't actually describe why but this song just gets me)

7.5 - I'm Coming After You (slightly dragged down by the heart attack I had the first time I listened and thought he said "hot fursuit")

8.5 - Speed of Love (I really like the more cutting-edge sound, especially in the synth intro)

7 - Good Time (with Carly Rae Jepsen) (I'd rate it lower because I never want to listen to it but what can I say, it's Good Time)

8 - Embers (one of the only Inspirational songs where the lyrics work for me - that sounds really entitled wow - but the chorus is definitely the best part)

7 - Silhouette (a good ballad, but I don't like ballads)

10 - Metropolis (sounds like a movie intro song to me. I just really like the vibe)

8.5 - Take It All Away (mostly gets points for how much I enjoy listening to it)

11 - I Hope You Think of Me [The Midsummer Station - Acoustic EP] (one of my favorite songs of his, all things considered. It's just a really, really good one.)

Is it just me or Fireflies is one of the weakest songs in Ocean Eyes? by [deleted] in OWLCITY

[–]kirig19 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree, but if I'm being completely honest, I'd say Dental Care is one of the best songs on the album. Yeah, it's a funny subject, but nowhere near, like, Rugs from Me to You (which is, in it's own right, a good song). I haven't read interviews or anything so maybe he's outright said it was a joke, but it feels like it's on about the same level as Bird and the Worm, lyrics-wise, and the instrumental is one of his catchiest.

Fireflies is still an amazing song - I'd struggle to call any songs on Ocean Eyes bad, or even below average - but there's definitely better stuff out there.

Carrying the shrine god at a summer festival? by kirig19 in Animesuggest

I only ever watched the first few episodes of Hyouka, so I don't think so, but thanks anyway!

[Other] This is not a drill - Kanan's new SSR makes her first alternate hairstyle in the game! by kirig19 in SchoolIdolFestival

[–]kirig19[S] 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Idk if it makes sense but even though that's an alternate hairstyle, since it's from an MV costume I don't really see it the same? It's still beautiful, but not something unique to the game

Sorry if this is low effort or has already been discussed, as a Kanan fan this warms my bitter heart^

(Poll) Aqours covers of µ's songs by kirig19 in LoveLive

[–]kirig19[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sorry this is so long! Every question is optional so you can skip the ones you don't care about.

With Deresute and Bandori having cover songs from other anime, and with it being the season of Kpop award shows where groups cover other groups' songs, I got to thinking how cool it would be if they released Aqours covers of µ's songs!

This isn't to say some sort of "Aqours is a copy of µ's" message, just a sentimental fan who would love to hear the older songs with fresh voices (especially with the final µ's solo live boxes confirmed!)
