I've spent the last 3 days trying to move my diary to blogspot because I thought it'd make my life easier + i have friends who use it. But oh my GOD i hate that d*** website. Everything is so unintuitive, I spent hours fiddling with the html to try to make my page look decent but I find it so difficult to not mess everything up with one click! I tried the (slightly) more html-based classic version and I found it just as weird, idk I'm not built for that place... I don't even like the post writer, I have more freedom with pure html!!!!! Will probably start to focus on just making my blog here actually readable and easier to manage. Unless I am convinced otherwise :P

Shhhhh don't tell anyone but I snuck in a diary entry from 2024 and will probably sneak in more. It's a seekrit. Also got some javascript practice by expanding the ∼Melo-tech Frame Link Management System∼ to help my featured blog entries work as desired. It was fun and now you can click down there ↘ and get taken straight to that entry :0 Awesome!

My homepage is finally at a place where I feel ok working on other stuff. Will write a new diary entry and song feature later today...

Soooo it has been almost 2 years O_o I'll make a blog post soon to catch up but I have returned and with me I have brought a finished featured songs page. Yayyy! I hope to fill it out with tons of music soon. Check it out :P

My new homepage is close to being done :-) I will miss the old one but I'm putting a lot more effort and close care into this one so I'm excited! Also reformatted my about page but I am unsure how to feel about it.

Hey so I know your first impression of Nation may now be the two dorky gentlemen on this album cover but I implore you to hear me out here. As one of the leading haters of the empty *gags* electronic... duo... GARBAGE that is plaguing the internet as of late, I have done the gracious courtesy of accepting Nation into my heart. I am of the humble belief that, since 2019 (at least as far as their digital footprint goes), they have been making music that is truly unique and novel.
I first discovered them in late 2023 thanks to their releasing a song with my dear Ecco2k, Ça Va. I must say I was immediately enamored with their style of production, and the way Fresh Jame's voice blended with Ecco's was so incredibly pleasing. The track's rise and fall back down in tempo really lends itself to being repeated over and over, so I was addicted to it for a few months before venturing into the rest of Nation's stuff whatsoever. And thank goodness I eventually did, because their self titled album is seriously so special.
I feel a lack of eloquence today so the best way I can describe it is just cool as fuuuuck. That album truly made me feel somethign I've never felt before which is probably the best thing I can ask for in my music. Funball is a suuper good producer and the crunchy and atmospheric sounds coexisting here along with Fresh Jame's at times barely comprehensible vocals that just keep unpredictably changing tone and pitch and volume are so satisfying deep in my soul. I'm really struggling to put it to words but I'm trying my best OKAY. Soldier Vision specifically makes me want to cry. I'm not sure if I can put this one down to the lyrics considering I only really know what 60% of them could possibly be, but what I can comprehend does something because it just sounds so GOOD........
Anyway... I'm so f***ing HYPE because 3 months from now I FINALLY get to see Nation live. I've narrowly avoided being able to go to several of their shows (of which there are very few already) for the past 3 years but they're finally coming to me in November and I can make it... Hallelujah. I've made no mention of Nation 2, their second LP released last year, yet, but I am at least glad I'll now get to hear songs live from it too. I can't even describe my ecstasy the day it dropped, especially when I saw not one but two songs featured Ecco2k (°Д°"). My special trio.. yass... It's mostly more poppy than their previous releases, but it still maintains their signature sound, Whatever that may be, and is in turn SO fun to listen to. Can't wait. Can't wait. Well thanks for reading minnasan. Here is the music video for Soldier Vision. Nation soldier moni out. (‘-‘*ゞ
