It's probably something beyond fun or enjoyment, it's just a natural response to living in the same universe as other human beings. So I think, why try and avoid it! I'd like to learn how to speak not just efficiently in Japanese and Spanish, but poetically too!

But, I don't think anyone who speaks any language for a while ever stays with the "just a tool" mentality for long... People love to express themselves, and I think the more words and grammar someone learns, the more that person defines their personality through their words.

I think there's some understandable resentment around English due how to how necessary it seems in order to secure opportunities or interact with pop culture. If someone ever wants their relationship to English to be "just a tool", I totally get it.

😆 That might be it! They also seem easy for English commentators to say quickly. (Of course, there are all sorts of philosophical reasons as to why a handle shouldn't solely be chosen to appeal to English commentators. But, I think most people appreciate short names in high-speed talking situations)

I like how "Hasupon" sounds (By the way, isn't "pon" supposed to be a cute sound in Japanese?).
However, with "Hasupo", the reader reaches the end of the word slightly faster, so it may subconsciously appeal more to speedrunners.

years ago I remember thinking Splatoon was kiddie game shit and being kind of surprised when I noticed they got an extremely well maintained, non-fandom, non-fextralife community wiki. Nearly always the first clue that you are about a zone that will smoke your ass if you are Unserious

I wonder if she'd be allowed to post her old songs on youtube. Kinuyo Yamashita did that, though it's possible she had to specifically request permission. The legal world is an endless maze...
(this is definitely not just an excuse for me to post more Mega Man X music! What are you talking about!)

Ah, that's probably it. Thinking about it a bit more, it's probably because the video is technically an advertisement for the music academy itself, isn't it? I bet that's technically enough to threaten legal action. I hope Capcom isn't that litigious, but yeah- probably worth it to avoid the risk. 🙃

It seems I've gone on another absurd rant. I'll try to limit myself to one per month.

えっと、とにかく。話を元に戻しましょう。なぜ私がイライラしたかって？彼女のデモリールにX2の曲が一切入ってなかったから！というか、彼女のゲーム音楽が全く入ってなかった！作曲家ってなんでスーパーファミコン時代を恥じているんだろう！せめて「Bubble Crab」くらい入れてほしかった。あのステージの憂鬱な夕焼けの背景を完璧に表現した素晴らしい曲… あるいは「Overdrive Ostrich」の野性的なステージBGMとか！

（ちなみに、もし私が日本に住んでいて、赤ちゃんレベルの日本語を理解できたら、このコースにすぐに申し込むでしょう！でも、たとえそうだったとしても、おそらく授業中ずっとX2の曲のインスピレーションは何だったのか聞いてしまうでしょう。「今日、見知らぬ外国人の男性が6時間もX2について聞いてきたんです。なんて変わった人なんだろう」）

最近、私を不当に苛立たせた出来事があります。ロックマンX1～3の作曲家についてもっと知りたいと思っていたところ、X2の唯一の作曲家である、非常に才能のある岩井勇気氏のYouTubeビデオを偶然見つけたのです。

これはおそらく現代のメディアシーンの多くで繰り返されるテーマだと思いますが、ロックマンはノスタルジアのせいで過去に縛られているように感じます。ロックマンX1～3は私にとってずっと憧れの存在でしたが、発売から数十年経った今でも、さらに古い作品に取って代わられてしまうようです。ロックマンXの最初の3作品の音楽は本当に素晴らしいです…

ワイリーステージ2は「俺を見ろ！俺はゲーム音楽が好きなんだ！」というトラックに成り下がってしまったように感じます。ダックテイルズの「ムーン」ステージもまさにそんなトラックの一つです。もちろん、どちらも評価に値する素晴らしい作品ですが、NESの音楽ライブラリ全体の柱として扱われているのではなく、独自の音楽世界への魅力的な入り口として扱われるべきです。

I know of a few people who took big risks on unique interpretations of old things, and because they didn't resemble the old thing enough, they suffered commercially and had to fire a lot of employees. It's a frustrating phenomenon.

That's an interesting point! To be fair, there might be commercial pressures for him to make something that is less creative than he wants (again, I might be giving him too much credit... lol).

It's like the overwhelming weight of Sora's design crushes any unique vision of Kirby. That's a little understandable for Smash Bros, because it needs to accommodate many different characters. It's disappointing that in a game only about Kirby, Sora seems to say "Look, it's Kirby from Smash Bros".
