My Top 10 Music Videos: Freshly Handpicked from Memory

Let's have another music-related post. 'Cause everyone loves music.


This time, on music videos.


Music videos are ways to express the song visually, as well as promoting the artist and song. Some MV's express the mood of the song. Some tell a story, whether related or not to the actual song. And some artistically present the ideas conveyed in it. It can also serve as a little visual reminder of the song. Music videos can act like a song's make-up sometimes. When the music video is good, all of a sudden, the song sounds better than it was before you saw the music video.

Now, I've started to like making lists, so here's another one.

Everyone has their choice of music videos and this here is MY top 10 list of music videos. The only rule is that only one entry per artist. If you feel the need to share some videos or even your own top 10, go ahead and do leave a comment.



Saa, hajimemashou.

Album Review: Yoshu Fukushu

Hey guys. I've always wanted to do an album review in time with a recent release. I haven't really been listening to any new releases. 

Until now. 

And here I am, back with an album review. This time, it's about the long-time awaited full album release by the Japanese 4-men powerhouse (technically, 3-men-1-woman powerhouse), Maximum the Hormone: "Yoshu Fukushu".




They released the music video of the song of the same name on their official YouTube channel a few days ago, and in case you haven't heard it yet, give it a listen. It's kick-ass.

It might also help if you know some songs from them, as I'm going to use some as reference.

Gaming Principles and Tips

Let's spare the introduction and get on with it. Gaming principles and tips.


+ Explore the area as much as possible. 

"You don't want to miss anything, do you? You're playing the game, might as well see everything."




+ Look around for breakable/lootable stuff like vases, chests, etc.

"It's better to have an inventory full with crap you won't need than an inventory barely filled with anything needed. Who knows, you might get a key item that would save you from coming back there later in the game."





+ Don't leave loot lying around. 

"That old guy won't mind if you stole his $300 that was lying on the table, broke his expensive vases, threaten his wife with a flamethrower, and leave just like that. He's totally cool with it."





+ If you encounter a cut scene, you're going the right way.

"Blah, blah, blah, we've got company, blah, blah, blah, get to the roof...man, this is cut scene is taking forever. What is this, a short film? There we go. Now, fin--AW NO, A LOADING SCREEN! *waits* Is...it...finally--aaand it's another cut scene."
