YouTube Gacha Game
‘Gacha’ because lottery or slots isn’t trendy anymore.
I’ll let the winners speak for themselves!
I do apologize that I don’t have more to offer, but you don’t pull SSR ☆☆☆☆☆s every day.
I have no choice but to assert part of its profundity is consequence of the content it’s become, but even so, when considering how Japanese often omits pronouns, you come to realize these three words aren’t all that you’re looking at. Even when taken at face value, how much can be gleaned from their togetherness.
I have no choice in the matter! This is a beautiful series of words!
Especially when life’s theme is a series of conversations to which we only can fill in the blanks, an interpretation carries the weight of folly. For this reason, I’d a vanishing interest in that of words in music (check chronology). Yet, like any self-respecting rule of thumb, I find exceptions between the cracks.
With that out of the way, a meandering is on the way (feel free to agree this should have been put into a separate work):
I’d like to be able to keep a lid on fascination. When I think about adoration, I realize it’s intrapersonal – and that keeps it measured, I’m sure. I have my idols who’ve all passed now. But I don’t think the point of fandom, broadly speaking, is to change them. If celestial bodies do indeed align, connecting an artist to his fan, surely, the point is to appreciate you’re both aiming for the same thing.
I do say ‘idol’, but honestly, I don’t really know what that means. That said, I do think I did have it right during their lifetimes. I wanted to meet them; that’s probably an idol, yea?
But yea… that’s about it for today!
Hope all you folks fangirling are doing well!

No title.
Please try to explain it away. I see what my eyes see. I hear conversations that make sense, even if I’m not able to parrot the points made in future conversations. What does that mean?
Beginning from top left: 2020-02-xx – 2020-03-xx, 2020-03-xx – 2020-04-xx; 2021-02-xx – 2021-03-xx, 2021-03-xx – 2021-04-xx. Pulled from exdeaths-japan.org.
What do you see? I can tell you what I see: I see bigger numbers when (presumably) SARS-CoV-2 reaches Japan; I see bigger numbers after mRNA shots had been distributed. What does that mean?
I’d dipped my toes into the mRNA-critical spheres nearly two years ago (check timeline). (For what it’s worth, these people, ranging from teachers to scientists to doctors, rather don’t trip any red flags (in relation to integrity and credibility) with their body language, cadences, and choices of words.) Personally, I’ve grown more and more convinced since that day. These folks are working with what they know, are sincere, and have had their reputations destroyed by entities that exercise generous helpings of apathy, greed, and dignity preservation. I’d heard of the sunk-cost fallacy, as a teen, years ago too. How that plays a part isn’t something I struggle to comprehend either.
Consider viewing this interview:
Something in me snapped when Anime News Network posted this tweet on the 15th of June (today):
Manga creator Nami Sano, who died last year at age 36, is getting a memorial project that will feature an exhibition, a collection of previously uncompiled works, and a special feature in the next issue of Harta magazine.https://t.co/WNxzvbuYLq ➤
— Anime News Network (@Anime) June 15, 2024
R.I.P., Sano Nami.
Does the anime fan even know? Will he ever comprehend what kind of loss this is? I was in la-la land until six o’clock this morning, trying to pretend like the authors, illustrators, voice actors—artists, the people who made this happen—were somehow impervious to the warping of ‘help’. I deliberately didn’t look. But now that I’ve seen, bottling up this feeling doesn’t feel right. This is how I’ll grieve, with my fingers on my keyboard, and my tears rolling down my face.

That thing I said I was going to do got done!
————————
Full song released on the 2016 single CD LoSe±CoNtRoL. Arrangement by Technoboys Pulcraft Green-Fund w/ vocals by Fuku Sanae and Numakura Manami. Lyrics + composition by ZAQ. There are 11 alternate versions of the TV size across the anime series, though I am, at present, not able to tell you what’s different between them. They appear on LoSe±CoNtRoL Serif Variation Album #01~#11 released a little later in the same year. (If I had to guess after hearing this ED online, it’s the exchanges between Clarion and Nanakorobi that are inconsistent. I’ll bet ‘serif’ is a key word here!)
There was a comment posted to YouTube years ago in which a fellow, honourable musicman and otaku had taken the time to translate the full-song lyrics. That song-video has long since been lost to time, but that doesn’t mean fellow, honourable musicmen and otaku stopped trying to understand Nanakorobi-san and Clarin’s unforgettable, core contributions therein.
As a side note, it would be pretty cool to come back to this page to add the skit dialogues. Added to the list of things I need to do…
TV size 1st!

Accessing the device named nature
The circuit of infinite synapses
Read write enter close
Sharing tools can lead to unavoidable situations
(((Skit)))
Saving data, strengthening predictions
Even my latest updates
Can’t explain why you’re so nice to me
Error error parameter
Please help me understand
Where these emotions came from
Find me at the end of this labyrnth
Of feelings I can no longer control
I understand the concept of emotions
But I can’t make any sense of my own
I want to pull out these cords
And head straight to you
I won’t come to understand love
Without having you here with me
————————
And now a portmanteau of MTL that tried to fool me a number of times and translations by BluRayDesu!

Access the device called nature
A circuit of infinite synapses
Read, write, enter, close
Exchanging loops causes inevitable encounters
Memorize records, capture predictions
Even though I’m constantly updating
What I can’t find is the reason for kindness
Error error parameter
Please help me understand
Where these emotions came from
Find me at the end of this digital maze
Of true feelings that I can’t control
I understand the logic, but it’s difficult to understand
I want to pull out all the cords and go see you
I won’t come to understand love
Without having you here with me
377,670,987,1597,2584,4181…
Not found
I was drawn to you by the strength of G
But my fate was ruined by chance
Giga Mega Terra Peta
The possibility of love evolving infinitely
But again, the theme of maintenance is to maintain it. Bugs are not allowed in this absolute world. It’s obvious, but what should I do?
Mayday mayday
Which is love?
A serious system error has occurred
Please help me. I can’t analyze you with inorganic strings of characters
Irregular light distorts even a prism
My mind and body are messed up and I can’t control it
I know you. Did you encounter love?
(((Talking I vaguely understand, but probably don’t.)))
Lose lose lose control
It’s going to go out of control. The cyber journey continues.
Find me at the end of this digital maze
Of true feelings that I can’t control
Is being loved a happy thing?
I want to pull out all the cords and go see you
If I don’t touch you
If I don’t touch you
I can’t even know love
————————
PS: I took the liberty of changing my to of in ‘of true feelings that I can’t control’ because I don’t know what I’m doing, and the TV size translation isn’t MTL. (And after special edit fc9l, various other changes were made because BluRayDesu is a real person and knew them to be good, so…)

Transmitted Somehow Pandoradio episode one:
七転福音：Nice to meet you, Clarin! I hope we’ll work well together!
クラリオン：I never authorized that form of address.
七転福音：Come on. It’s so nice and cute. ‘Clarin’.
クラリオン：Disconnect me.
Transmitted Somehow Pandoradio episode two:
七転福音：Clarin, when we use the Pandora Box, do you feel embarrassed too?
クラリオン：I have no need for such emotion.
七転福音：Then, you aren’t embarrassed when I jump on you like this?
クラリオン：You are impossible to understand.
Transmitted Somehow Pandoradio episode three:
七転福音：What’s with you and not wanting your ears touched, Clarin? Are they sensitive?
クラリオン：That’s classified information.
七転福音：You’re adorable when you refuse! Maybe I wanna touch them after all!
クラリオン：Don’t make that mistake.
Transmitted Somehow Pandoradio episode four:
クラリオン：You like that game, Nene?
七転福音：You mean Monster Bash? Yeah! The quests are so great, and there’s tons of equipment to find! But I need rarer drops so I gotta play again and again and again, and as I play, I keep learning / small new tricks, and I enjoy the game so much and…
クラリオン：You could have just said ‘yes’.
Transmitted Somehow Pandoradio episode five:
七転福音：We need to play doctor together! I’d love to see you dressed up as one!
クラリオン：That’s unnecessary. Nene can just use the Pandora Device and—

クラリオン：Maybe I should drag Nene to the hospital.
Spoilers incoming!
Transmitted Somehow Pandoradio episode six:
七転福音：Lesbians? What was BUER so excited about?

クラリオン：I see you have, at least, a rough understanding of the matter.
Transmitted Somehow Pandoradio episode seven:
クラリオン：How did you know the androids wanted to go home?
七転福音：I heard all their voices saying, ‘I want to go home.’
クラリオン：It’s possible that was residual data still left in their memory.
七転福音：No, it’s the voice of an android’s heart.
クラリオン：Impossible.
Transmitted Somehow Pandoradio episode eight:
七転福音：Hey, Clarin, what kind of equipment did you want anyway?
クラリオン：I could use some knives, guns, smoke screens, and electromagnetic capture nets.
七転福音：Old-school equipments, eh? Why not a beam rifle or a lightsaber?
クラリオン：I’ll try asking Korobase for those.
Transmitted Somehow Pandoradio episode nine:
七転福音：You’re in a good mood today, Clarin.
クラリオン：My operating efficiency increases when my ears are cleaned. The reason is unknown.
七転福音：It’s easier to work when you’re in a good mood, and humming a tune makes it fun! I know! We should sing together!
クラリオン：But I’m already singing.
Transmitted Somehow Pandoradio episode ten:
クラリオン：Lovely bride of mine, I want you to touch my ears with your beautiful fingers.
七転福音：C-Clarin!
クラリオン：Nene, I could be yours for all time.
七転福音：Cat prince Clarin! Stay with me forever!
Transmitted Somehow Pandoradio episode eleven:
七転福音：Clarin, are you okay? Did it hurt? Were you scared?
クラリオン：It doesn’t hurt, and I’m not scared. I’ll stop BUER and protect you. End of story.
七転福音：You’re so strong, Clarin. I’m going to help you! Let’s fight our hardest together!
クラリオン：All right.

〘lyrics〙T.S. Monk – Too Much Too Soon
Released on the 1981 album ‘More of the Good Life’ by T.S. Monk. Credited to David Wolfert and Sandy Linzer.
————————
Young hearts couldn’t wait to find romance
Young hearts couldn’t wait for that first dance
Couldn’t wait to take a chance (take a chance)
Wtih you
First love
Every song will be our song (every song will be our song)
First love (first love)
Staying up all night long
Feeling never was so wrong
So right
From the very first night
(Too much too soon)
No, too far too fast, they say
(Too much too soon)
Whoa, no love can last that way
(Too much too soon)
Baby, baby, baby, don’t turn away from me
I know we still can be lovers
We were lovers, never friends (((too many voices)))
Lovers
That’s the way the world began
That’s the way the whole world ends
With you
Baby, what did I do?
(Too much too soon)
Too far too fast, they say
(Too much too soon)
No love can last that way, yea
(Too much too soon)
Baby, baby, baby, baby, don’t turn away
Stay
Oh no no no no no no
It’s crazy, baby
Why must you be a stranger to me?
Think of the past
Too far too fast
Too much too soon
Too much too soon
Hey
Too much too soon
Too much too soon
Oh, baby
Too much too soon
Ooh
Oh, too far too fast, they say
(Too much too soon)
No love can last that way
Baby, don’t turn away
(Too much too soon) ((Stay?))
You know we’ll find a way
Somehow, someway, someday
You know we’ll find ((it/a))
You know we’ll find ((it/a))
Stay

PS: I have no idea how you’re supposed to format lyrics when someone hasn’t already done it for you! Enjoy!
Appears on the 1971 album ‘Yeah!’ by The Pioneers. Credits are unknown to me. Written ‘Baby Can I Change My Mind?’ on the b-side of the record.
————————
(Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)
Love deep inside my heart, tearing me apart (tear me apart)
How can I say goodbye when you want to leave
Your tears falling just like rain, but I just want to see, oh yeah
Love deep inside my heart, tearing me apart
Baby can I change my mind?
Baby can I try to find a love that is somewhere for me?
But I can’t bear to see you cry, knowing I’m the reason why
And oh baby, I want to die
Oh, I want to die (want to die)
I want to die (want to die)
Love deep inside my heart, tearing me apart (tear me apart)
Oh, how can I say goodbye when you want to leave
Your tears falling just like rain, but I just want to see, oh yeah
Love deep inside my heart, tearing me apart

Baby can I change my mind?
Baby can I try to find a love that is somewhere for me?
But I can’t bear to see you cry, knowing I’m the reason why
And oh baby, I want to die

Oh, mama
Baby can I change my mind?

YouTube Mixes Hell
Sometimes the gods of the algorithm see to it that you’re swiftly punished for listening to music on YouTube. Is it justified to be so exacted upon? I wonder. Do these gods deliver their hand to my face in ambivalence, benevolence, or malevolence? Ask yourself—deeply ask yourself, ‘What exactly is the Internet experience here for?’
I present to you, here, the seed of Satan:
Mixes. Back-to-back mixes. And in case it wasn’t clear, these are the evil in your heart! They are the root of EVIL and SUFFERING in this world we call home!
Let us explore the constituents of
—E V I L ・・・
Firstly, ‘evil’ is an acronym for ‘everything vile in the land’! Clearly, the caveman who thought up fire was onto something! Let me explain exactly what he thought so that you, too, can comprehend:
① ‘It is hot!’
② ‘It destroys!’
③ ‘In its absence, everything is good and pleasant!’
True, we shouldn’t be blaming cavemen for thinking about fire, but that doesn’t mean casually glossing over the details will benefit us! As the evidence looms, and as the weight of our decisions pale in comparison to the meaning of the sheer number of non-believers, only a hyper-intelligent force like electricity can save us!
Case in point, electricity is emphasizing the importance of mixes to me! This means our fate is being disturbed! It is utilizing the one intermediary that I know it would know I would know would never betray the fabric of being: cyber-foreshadowingI
Cyber-foreshadowing can be summarized in three sets of 15 points; however, for your convenience, I have truncated and simplified the nuances within:
• Algorithms predict the future.
To recap, hot is like hell, evil is on land, etc., etc. Furthermore, with the appearance of unforgiving, back-to-back mixes, a call to every decent human being has been sounded: elucidate YouTube to the urgency of extending customization of the tags for the home feed page.
LET THERE BE NO MIXES WHERE MIXES ARE UNWANTED!!!!!!!!
In the pursuit of the magnum opus in every discipline (because ruling over the domains of life and death sometimes need to take a back seat), I’ll share with you one of many great strides I’d made while polishing the gold that is my imagination:
Upon reflection, and though the truth may yet be quite out of reach, it is possible the polishing agent I’m using is not top-of-the-line. Truly, it is hard to accommodate this deviation in my mindscape so farseeing. That being said, I am familiar with so-called established consensus and the weight of opposing their pervasive sensibilities. For this reason, I, with great trepidation, open myself to receiving advice about products that don’t both wane with the flavour of diminishing returns and conceal the participation of forever chemicals in their makeup.
I am not playing Trials Rising in this video; I am not Shishiro Botan; audio found in this video is attributed to a performance titled 【Trials Rising】クセがすごいんじゃ【獅白ぼたん/ホロライブ】.
I think 獅白ぼたん’s approach to entertainment is likeable. I appreciate a select few other Hololive talents, too, but somehow this is where the puzzle pieces fall. Actually, it has been a long time since I last watched Botan – or any other vtuber, for that matter. It was only a few days ago that I remembered how much fun it was watching Botan play Trials Rising years ago. This was when the idea of putting together an off video became appealing.
Please erupt with tuffs of black smoke when on the grind!
