Why it's commonplace

Have you seen the lyric video for "Speed Mad Age" released yesterday? If you haven't, hurry up and watch it. Quick! Hurry! Before the thing gets nicked!

Speaking of music videos, one of the biggest differences between music videos is the inclusion or exclusion of the artist's name or song title in the video. As a viewer, it doesn't really matter to me, though. In my case, a long time ago, I used to ask a video editor, "Can I have the data for the song title and band logo? It was only when I was told, as a matter of course, that I realized this.
If you're given the choice of "To include the name of the artist or the name of the song or not to include it" when you're not thinking about it, most people will probably say "Yes". I think it would be a waste of time if you don't put it in..." or something like that.
Of course it doesn't matter if you include it or not, but I felt that many filmmakers think it's natural to include the name of the band or song in a music video without thinking about it, so I looked up music videos of various artists and bands a while ago.
I found that, at least as far as the music videos are concerned, domestic artists tend to put the name of the artist or song in their videos, while foreign artists often do not put the name of the artist or song in their videos.
We cannot interview the artists themselves, so we do not know why. I can't form a hypothesis, but I can only wonder if Japanese people are that meticulous, so I can't form a hypothesis.
I don't know what it is, but this phenomenon is happening around me at home and abroad.
Well, it's an argument that won't lead anywhere, but I made this "Speed Frenzy Age" without the band or song title!

Speed Frenzy Era

 Lyric video for "Speed Frenzy Age" on Youtube Kanashibari Channel!

It's been more than two weeks since I uploaded my last article "Leaden Desire" on November 18, so it's been more than two weeks. It's been that long since then. It's the end of this year, too.
The title could have been "Speed Frenzy", but I dared to call it "Speed Frenzy Era". Of course, it's a tribute to the comedy film "The Golden Mad Age" directed, written and starring Sir Charles Spencer Chaplin. However, I've never actually seen "The Golden Mad Age" properly. I've never seen Chaplin's film properly. I'll have to check it out next time.
The scene in this video where the car looks like it's running is just a still image, but it looks like a car is really running. Well, normal animation is also a series of still images, but that's not what I mean, I just changed the colors of the same still image in super fine detail. The picture itself doesn't move even an inch. It's an amazing feat.
And of course, the highlight of this song is "Whammy". That's right. The "whammy pedal" is a synonym for that props-like effect pedal. In the lyric videos that are currently being released one after another, you've been using the "whammy" pedal quite aggressively, and I think you've broken new ground this time. The wheel-spin sound is thrilling. I'm not going to lie, this war-my-play is dead cool, and the songs are the coolest.
And of course, the song is the coolest part!

At The Drive-In

 

The Mars Volta suddenly popped up in my Youtube recommendations. Come to think of it, I've had a couple of albums by The Mars Volta, but this is the first time I've seen them live on video.

The Mars Volta was formed by Cedric and Omar after the breakup of At The Drive-In. Anyway, there's just too much information in the music. It's not that I'm saying "Simple is the best! I'm not at all obsessed with anything like that, but too much is a good idea.

And then The Mars Volta came out, which reminded me of At The Drive-In, which I loved so much. Cedric's unusually high vocals and performance, the broken garage atmosphere of the MC5, and the emotive melody. It's the best.

When I asked my friend who went to see At The Drive-In's show in Japan before what he thought of the show, he replied, "Those guys are meat-eaters...". When I asked him what he meant, he said that Cedric, the vocalist, climbed on the speakers during the show, but his climbing speed was out of the ordinary and he thought, "I'll never get out of there if I don't eat meat every day.

There are people who make you think, "You're a carnivore! For example, Lemmy from Motörhead.

The ultimate three choices

 

I had written the lyrics of the song, but I couldn't decide on a song title, and I was struggling to come up with a song title, and I was in a state of desperation, when I suddenly had an idea for a nice song title.

I hummed and sang the song as hard as I could, not just humming, but dancing like a rimbaud as I went to my computer and opened a Word file with all the lyrics. And as I was about to type in the blank song titles, I realized that they were the same song titles I had written about three months ago.

Well, it's not uncommon for people to use the same words in multiple song lyrics, and I don't mind it, but I wouldn't name a song the exact same thing without realizing it. At least it's not a word we use every day. It's "krivitz" (which means "surprise").

I guess it's my first time to do so. I'm sure it's the first time you've tried to give a song a name that you've given before to another song without realizing it.

I've got three choices. Use that song title for this one, come up with a new song title for this one, or drink and get swallowed up and forget all about it.

It's hard to decide.

Be a fine porridge

 

The suppon at the restaurant in question, which often appears in this note as well.

For those of you who don't know, a restaurant I sometimes pass by has a sign posted in front of the restaurant that says, "Please do not feed them as they are currently on a fasting diet. At first there was just one, but the other day there were two more, and we couldn't predict what would happen.

Today, as I walked by, there were still two speckled pigs on the street. But one of them seemed to have gotten much smaller than when I saw it before. Also, the wording on the poster was changed to "Please do not feed them as they are currently on a diet. I think it was "fasting" before, not "dieting". But I didn't even take a picture of her when she was "fasting", so the truth is a bit of a mystery.

I looked at the menu in front of the restaurant and thought, "Oh, I see, I'm on a diet. I've never been in that restaurant before, but the menu is full of the kind of food I like.

I looked at the menu and licked the menu while drooling, literally drooling, until I found it. The words "Bonyonyaku Zosui (soup turtle) Zosui 1,200 yen * outstanding for nourishment and tonicity".

I'd like to try the Maru-nabe.
