  • Kira's "Highlight" is kinda weird.

    No I'm not talking about the real mainstream western pop vibe. I'm talking about the hook which is surprisingly not punchy, even too soft compared to the rest of the song. That part is more suitable to be pre-chorus instead of chorus, and like, demanding the punchy, extravagant drop.

    Not saying that the song is bad, but the song, especially the flow, is so strange even compared to the real mainstream western pop songs.
    I've been thinking that I want to take a year off after grad or something just to make my mental ready for the next phase of my life, but my parents out here are rushing me to get a job as soon as possible.

    Oh god, how desperate are they?
    I'm getting post-grad crisis, and it really sucks.

    I thought that after graduated my life would be all good. But, urgh.

    My parents recently are "encouraging" me to get a job especially in big state-owned companies, and giving "hopes" that I will be "successful", "rich", "live happily", "making parents proud", yada yada,

    But I can't help but think that I'm not ready for these things at all.

    Being graduated means that I have to "live like an adult", but I don't even know how to do so. If being adult means that I have to be responsible, care for others, blah blah blah, I can't. I don't even care about myself.

    And tbh I feel like I'm kinda rusty on knowledge I've learned on uni, so I don't think I'm qualified enough to get a job.

    I'm afraid about my future.

    Urgh.

    I’m really sorry you’re going through this right now... it’s normal to feel lost at this stage in life, but that doesn’t make it any easier, I know. Please take it easy! Everyone moves at their own pace. (My dad didn’t get his first “big company” job until I was nine, which would have made him 36 at the time.)

    Yeah, I hear that. I think the idea that everything will be great after graduation is something most everyone believes (Because our parents'/adult lives looked like they were great from the outside, right?).

    But really, it's just as wrong as looking in at a student's life and saying their life must be great and easy. Sure, the scope of things they have to worry about might be smaller, since they live in the semi-controlled uni environment. But people don't see the hours they'll spend studying, working on papers/projects/etc. as easily. Really, I don't think anyone's life is easy. And most people's lives probably look better from the outside.

    Adjusting to post-graduation/adult life is a big challenge. There's a lot to learn (even after uni--that's another common misconception), and you'll run up first-hand into the things in your parents' lives you couldn't see before.

    But remember--you made the transition from high school to uni, right? That was probably a big transition, too. Just like then, there'll be a difficult period, but eventually you'll adjust, and things will feel easier.

    Just finishing up my Master's here, and I'm trying to land a PhD placement now. There's definitely a myth perpetuated by colleges, universities and wider society that higher education makes it easier to land a stable career in the long run. Sometimes it does, but more frequently (as Covid has recently proven), even graduating with the highest honours you can obtain can still land you into an uncertain job market, because higher ed institutions don't prepare you for that. (Saying that, nobody expected a pandemic this year. Needless to say, many British students are angry about how the government and unis have handled the local situation here).

    My parents are pretty relaxed about my life prospects because I have a disability (so just managing to land a job is celebrated as an achievement to them). Currently, it's looking more likely that I will be accepted onto a PhD, but I'm still worried about job prospects because of Covid and Brexit over the next few years. Plus, I'm always hearing horror stories about working in academia, so I've had to draw up a list of alternative careers just in case my dream to become a historian falls through. :(

    In short, postgrad crisis is super normal, especially if you've been in higher ed for years, and don't feel pressured to live up to expectations too quickly. My parents have been easygoing about everything I've done after leaving school so far, because they know I need extra time to figure out what to do with my life, but I'm perfectly aware other people don't get that kind of luck. Adjusting is a nightmare, but treating everything like a baby step towards something fulfilling makes it much easier to cope with.
    I'm not gonna use NT, but as far as I've observed, the NT still got that weird Vocaloid-y pitch transition. What I said as "weird" is that while the other brands (even the free brands) set the pitch transition duration small (around 50-70 ms) and consistent, NT and Vocaloid set the pitch transition duration longer/shorter in the end note before the next note depend on the length of the note. (cmiiw)

    But NT applied that direct pitch drawing feature and we don't have to deal with note-bending tuning technique (the technique is actually to address that weird pitch transition and drawing in the parameter panel is chaotic but the technique is somewhat still painful to apply tbh), so the weird pitch transition is not a big deal I guess.
    Regalia's mature and somewhat seductive voice would suit "Villain" perfectly, but I feel she's kinda off to voiced Evelynn in "More", idk.
    Seems like they're finished on their "roadmap" to showcase all the tracks on their EP.

    It makes me wondering, or we'll just see if the K/DA project will be continued or not for years to come!

    Or if they want to make another music project with their other champions? 👀

    I believe they will have more in the coming years in the description of the video for "I'll Show You" they put "K/DA is a virtual music supergroup starring Ahri, Evelynn, Akali, and Kai’Sa. Their first EP ALL OUT" (May be in the other descriptions too but this is the one that I clicked XD)
    I still yet to decide who will be my Evelynn and Kai'sa.

    I'm thinking to just use VCCV because I'll distribute the UST files as usual, but I have to pick the voices with the similar feels.
