    I just hit a 1000 day streak on Duolingo. (日本語, of course.) A ton of that is repetition on earlier lessons to drill hiragana and katakana though. (If I'm tired, I just do an easy one to check it off.) Kanji are still mostly a mystery and I only know some rudimentary grammar. I wish I had more time to dedicate to it; I'd pick up a textbook or something.

    Yuck. Finally had my ENT appointment. Ear pressure and pain is a Eustachian tube blockage. Got prescriptions for relatively high dosages of nasal sprays and have to use one of those awful saline irrigation bottles. >_<

    On a better note, mixing for my song is close to done.

    Hope you get better soon, and I feel you I got a vestibular syndrom/nevritis stuff last year and even if it healed strangely by itself it was not fun at all =C

    Getting a bit of work done today on my song for the Miku Expo contest. Having to rush the lyrics a little bit (I'm definitely better at writing choruses than verses), but I think I'm happy with them...just one more line to write and put into the editor. That leaves the rest of the time for mixing and maybe some additional vocal tuning. (Mostly I just do phoneme substitutions and fix bad things with OPE and VEL, maybe some note bends and vibrato if I'm feeling fancy lol.)

    Whoo! Expo Kickstarter is up to $200K. 1/3 of the way to the minimum. And I also just received art files for the first song I completed a few months back.

    I just bought a pair of AirPods Pro (I want active noise cancelling for the office) and the first thing I did after playing with the noise cancellation modes and playing a few songs I know well? Test my vocaloid song project mixes I had on my phone lol. They're surprisingly decent compared to my Sony MDRs.

    Productive three day weekend so far. Getting into the mixing stage for my second original (which I'm more proud of than my first) and had some discussions with my artist/sibling about artwork to go with both songs. Also making good progress on my next project, which I'm hoping will be my entry to the Miku Expo contest. Got a good 909 drum groove, bass line, an intro I'm okay with, a synth section and maybe half a chorus that's written, set to music and in the vocal editor.

    If all goes well, I could have three originals and a cover coming out in the coming months.

    One of my favorite small things about moving to an area with more people is seeing cars with anime vinyl wraps periodically. I at least want a Miku window decal...

    Sad news about Kira. Looks like he's taking an indefinite mental health break. Hopefully things get better soon.
    Kira's work is a significant part of why I decided to start dabbling in music. Having an opportunity to remix Highlight was also one of the, well, highlights of this year for me.

    Spotify's holiday gift to everyone: finally changing the normalized artist name to "Hatsune Miku" instead of "Miku Hatsune." (Not sure when they did it, but that annoyed me for ages...)

    Technically both are right. With Spotify being a western company it makes sense for it to be first name first. I wonder how they classify vocaloid music on Spotify now thinking about it. Is it the music producer first then vocalsynth?

    It's based on metadata reported by the music distributor, and the producer is always going to be first if the synth is included. From there, they normalize the data and match it to a "canonical name" for the profiles, to account for variations in the data submitted.

    I've only ever heard someone say it aloud the other way once and it was...really weird sounding.

    It's funny how a lot of people get unnerved whenever a Vocaloid is referred to in the Western order. When I originally discovered Miku, the video title called her 'Miku Hatsune', which meant that I was able to avoid the common noob mistake of assuming her first name was 'Hatsune'. Since then, I've become so used to the Japanese naming order that 'Miku Hatsune' now looks odd to me, even though it's completely correct in my part of the world.

    I dispute the rules of Whamageddon: they don't specify how to account for the Official Release versus Pudding Mix (longer version from the UK B-side). If a store hypothetically plays the other version, is that the "original" or a safe alternate version?
