Ota blog, Rantings of a overseas otaku.
11/9/20 night
Today is a day i will never forget.
Minami while heading to school took the wrong bus and got lost. Some panicked, Some like Yamatatsu calm as ever laughs it off,While some like me and Saiton told her advice such as use a Map app. But not to worry. she eventually found her way to a station. Truely, this was one interesting day.

Today's Showroom was pretty chill. Mina seemed tired but vibrant as usual.
she probably stayed up all night on her phone or something lol. Sorry about the awkward camera angle,she barely showed her entire face entire stream. she talked about her cheki session that is happening soon, around i think 26th-ish, cant remember at the moment. Glad Mina is having more chances to meet with fans and advertise herself in japan. I'll handle the overseas side.
11/6/20 day
Last night i woke up in the middle of the night and had nothing else to do so i got my phone and listened to the entire jewel kiss album,Jewel The Best,and the entire single Eden no sonode and id say it was amazing. Firstly. eden no sonode, the song starts off so good. its like a choir in the back while I believe Maichan starts singing. when it ends it leaves you wanting more,which it does with its B side Midnight run,equally the same amount of quality. what i like about encho,is he knows alot about how early 90s and 2000s idol song structure. the synth he uses,the random trumpets and guitars etc. i feel the eden no sono de single (released later in jewel kiss lifespan) was jewel kisses high point. the quality alone on the two songs are up to even mainstream idol standards. The mixing is definately better than enchos earlier work on jewel kiss songs such as "Magic of Jewel" etc. and im not saying those are bad. Magic of jewel is my favorite jewel kiss track,yet I cannot not recognize the amazing work on this song. other honorable mentions are Nights crow, the classic Miracle date,Magic of Jewel and higashi no Pegasus,and who can say no to Koisuru sniper.
Anyways. That's me ranting about how much i love jewel kiss. truely one of the most legendary yet not well known out of japan and thailand.

So today I watched the Young champion gakuen live on 11/4/20(see the Live video page) and i think Minami needs to be more confident in her vocal skill. She seems so soft spoken,but its okay, she just debut, she can get over that hurdle overtime and become more confident in herself. with experience,comes confidence.
