Feb 5, 2017 at 7:36 AM - Arcluna: wait
Feb 5, 2017 at 7:36 AM - Arcluna: are the first 46 that bad?
Feb 5, 2017 at 7:36 AM - rsniteblaze: No. Just Future Trunks arc is so good lol
Feb 5, 2017 at 7:37 AM - rsniteblaze: and a lot of it is just recapping the movies
Feb 5, 2017 at 7:37 AM - Arcluna: sigh but the animation is a downgrade
Feb 5, 2017 at 7:37 AM - rsniteblaze: which I assume you saw already
Feb 5, 2017 at 7:37 AM - crimsonknight4: for the first two arcs you can just watch the movies
Feb 5, 2017 at 7:37 AM - crimsonknight4: yeah, big time
Feb 5, 2017 at 7:37 AM - Arcluna:
Feb 5, 2017 at 7:37 AM - rsniteblaze: It's better on the DVDs apparently
Feb 5, 2017 at 7:38 AM - rsniteblaze: since they have more time to touch those up
Feb 5, 2017 at 7:38 AM - Arcluna: haha i did, i theaters
Feb 5, 2017 at 7:38 AM - rsniteblaze: And apparently, Trunks's hair was always supposed to be blue like Bulma's lol. They just made it purple so that his lineage would be a mystery
Feb 5, 2017 at 7:38 AM - rsniteblaze: orrrr kids would somehow mix up kid trunks and future trunks
Feb 5, 2017 at 7:39 AM - Arcluna: and what
Feb 5, 2017 at 7:39 AM - Arcluna: the
Feb 5, 2017 at 7:39 AM - Arcluna: F
Feb 5, 2017 at 7:39 AM - Arcluna:
Feb 5, 2017 at 7:39 AM - rsniteblaze: hahaha
Feb 5, 2017 at 7:39 AM - rsniteblaze: we're in that transition phase
Feb 5, 2017 at 7:40 AM - Arcluna: so what you said about the physical release is actually kind of interesting
Feb 5, 2017 at 7:40 AM - rsniteblaze: where the older animators are leaving and newer animators are comign in
Feb 5, 2017 at 7:40 AM - Arcluna: they do often rush the release for TV and then clean it up for the physical release
Feb 5, 2017 at 7:40 AM - rsniteblaze: yup
Feb 5, 2017 at 7:40 AM - Arcluna: same problems with sailor moon crystal i believe
Feb 5, 2017 at 7:40 AM - Arcluna: however
Feb 5, 2017 at 7:40 AM - rsniteblaze: it's still not the same as the old style though
Feb 5, 2017 at 7:40 AM - Arcluna: that image above has no freakin excuse
Feb 5, 2017 at 7:41 AM - Arcluna: no, and I will always love hand drawn anime over the modern computer colored variety
Feb 5, 2017 at 7:41 AM - Arcluna: it has less character and heart
Feb 5, 2017 at 7:42 AM - rsniteblaze: that's the future of animation. Less details = easier to animate
Feb 5, 2017 at 7:42 AM - rsniteblaze: that and anime girls
Feb 5, 2017 at 7:43 AM - Arcluna: right,
Feb 5, 2017 at 7:43 AM - Arcluna: i feel there's more of a trend to sexualize stories as wel
Feb 5, 2017 at 7:43 AM - Arcluna: l

 

Feb 5, 2017 at 7:43 AM - rsniteblaze: in the end, it's still a business lol

Feb 5, 2017 at 7:52 AM - Arcluna: good luck with the speech if i don't get a chance to say so later

 

Feb 8, 2017 1:01 AM - Arcluna: hmm

 

Feb 8, 2017 at 3:19 PM - Luiz Henrique: aimi just did a short line live from the studio, if anyone wants to watch the vod, here is the link: https://live.line.me/channels/39123/broadcast/992798
Feb 8, 2017 at 3:19 PM - Luiz Henrique: also hi to everyone
Feb 8, 2017 at 7:57 PM - J-Becker: Thanks for the link Luiz. Im really glad that i finally listened live version of "Cotton".
Feb 8, 2017 at 7:58 PM - J-Becker: Btw i dunno if google translated correctly or not but this live might be get deleted in 1 week according to Aimi's tweet so watch it while you can.
Feb 9, 2017 at 3:28 AM - Ray: Thanks!! I needed that!...Aimi needs to retrain her board man or get a new one. The person running that sound system lerned his trade in the dance clubs and a BOOM BOOM BOOM base line just overwhelms a bright crisp voice like Aimi's
Feb 9, 2017 at 3:33 AM - Ray: BOOM BOOM is great if you DJ in the club. But you can't use it on live's ESPECIALLY if your lead is a soprano.
Feb 9, 2017 at 7:00 AM - Arcluna: For those who entered, AIMI chose who won the signed guitar pick, so check twitter

 

Feb 11, 2017 at 3:52 AM - Ray: Nohana-San now has a Twitter link to both Hiddy-San and Aimi-san's Twitter. Things that make ya go HUMMMM??
Feb 11, 2017 at 3:53 AM - Ray: Do I see a spark of hope for J-Becker?
Feb 11, 2017 at 4:27 AM - DSteele: I dont see it.
Feb 11, 2017 at 4:47 AM - J-Becker: Yeah i dont see it either. They are still not following eachother.
Feb 11, 2017 at 4:56 AM - J-Becker: If you mean the accounts that appear at right side of page. It just shows they are related so people can follow those people as well.
Feb 11, 2017 at 7:40 AM - Ray: Bumber . I don't use so I din't know.
Feb 11, 2017 at 7:41 AM - Ray: I had hope there for a moment
Feb 11, 2017 at 7:43 AM - Arcluna: the problem I think is they separated with obvious animosity
Feb 11, 2017 at 7:44 AM - Arcluna: if they can overcome that, then maybe there's hope

 

Feb 11, 2017 4:31 PM - DSteele: Well put Shiho, Nohana, & Aimi in a room with me and a translator and we will make them best friends again.
Feb 11, 2017 11:00 PM - J-Becker: I hope they start talking eachother again. I remember reading interviews of DK and they never mentioned Aimis name they instead of mentioned her using words like "lead of stereopony" etc. . I remember reading Stereopony's last interview and it was mentioning that Aimi first decided to leave the band then Shiho and Nohana made the proposal of disbandment.
Feb 11, 2017 11:01 PM - J-Becker: Shiho was saying smthng like "without Aimi stereopony wouldnt be stereopony so we decided to take a new step." But they seem like they cut the connect more after disbandment like between 2013-2014 maybe.
Feb 11, 2017 11:04 PM - J-Becker: http://eggman.jp/special/last_interview/#main (I always use google and bing translate so my sentences might be wrongç)
Feb 12, 2017 4:25 AM - Ray: Ya' Know we have ALL missed something very big about all of this. Somethig happened just before the breakup and EVERYBODY missed it
Feb 12, 2017 4:27 AM - Ray: People don't act like this over someone else going solo
Feb 12, 2017 4:34 AM - Ray: Whatever happened. I hope Fortuna smiles on all of them again.
Feb 12, 2017 4:45 AM - Ray: And before anyone asks. Fortuna is one of the spellings of one of the names for the old European Goddess of Luck.
Feb 12, 2017 4:45 AM - Ray: Pagen Goddess of luck
Feb 12, 2017 5:17 AM - J-Becker: @Ray : Yep that also true.
Feb 12, 2017 5:18 AM - J-Becker:
Feb 12, 2017 5:18 AM - J-Becker: I hope they become like this again in future lol.

 

Feb 14, 2017 at 12:01 AM - Arcluna: ouch man, bringing out the feels
Feb 14, 2017 at 1:10 AM - chocolatedisco: Aimi's Line Live Drummer is Yuumi (ex-FLiP) I guess.Because speaking tone of voice is very alil
Feb 14, 2017 at 1:12 AM - chocolatedisco: alike. link https://live.line.me/channels/39123/broadcast/992798
Feb 14, 2017 at 1:16 AM - chocolatedisco: So I'm so excited. STEREOPONY AND FLiP !!!
Feb 14, 2017 at 1:22 AM - Arcluna: oh really?
Feb 14, 2017 at 1:46 AM - crimsonknight4: Ahhh cant watch on my phone to confirm
Feb 14, 2017 at 1:49 AM - crimsonknight4: BUT Aimi WAS pretty close to FLiP sonit wouldnt be the craziest thing
Feb 14, 2017 at 1:52 AM - J-Becker: Aimi said she is gonna delete that broadcast on wednesday. So record it while you can lol.
Feb 14, 2017 at 1:54 AM - crimsonknight4: Haha if i or anyone can
Feb 14, 2017 at 1:55 AM - crimsonknight4: Unfortunately the only ones left are the non tech savvy ppl lmao
Feb 14, 2017 at 1:56 AM - crimsonknight4: If anyone wants to help with aimi stuff let me know
Feb 14, 2017 at 1:56 AM - crimsonknight4: I am in dire need lol
Feb 14, 2017 at 1:57 AM - J-Becker: My internet speed sucks. And i only know recording with Fraps.
Feb 14, 2017 at 1:58 AM - J-Becker: Also i'll search for a program like IDM to download it. But still record it while you can cuz only 1.5 days left.
Feb 14, 2017 at 1:59 AM - crimsonknight4: Yeah ill try
Feb 14, 2017 at 1:59 AM - J-Becker: Do you need to help with translation ?
Feb 14, 2017 at 2:01 AM - J-Becker: btw i googled and find this way to download line live. Im free for 5-6 hours so i let you know if its working. http://clock08.tumblr.com/post/139832637468/how-to-download-videos-from-lineliveme
Feb 14, 2017 at 2:04 AM - crimsonknight4: I dont need help with translations but with set
Feb 14, 2017 at 2:04 AM - crimsonknight4: Sorry

Feb 14, 2017 at 2:05 AM - crimsonknight4: Im at work lol
Feb 14, 2017 at 2:20 AM - Arcluna: god man JB
Feb 14, 2017 at 2:20 AM - Arcluna: good*
Feb 14, 2017 at 2:20 AM - Arcluna: project archive aimi in affect
Feb 14, 2017 at 2:47 AM - J-Becker: Ok downloaded it with IBM its 200 mb and its a mpeg-ts file and it works fine on my PC . I'll upload it and send you the link as PM or post it here if that is OK ?
Feb 14, 2017 at 3:01 AM - crimsonknight4: Send it on a PM and he can make that determination later
Feb 14, 2017 at 3:01 AM - Arcluna:
Feb 14, 2017 at 3:03 AM - J-Becker: ok i'll upload it on couple hours.
Feb 14, 2017 at 4:34 AM - J-Becker: k sent the PM arc.
Feb 14, 2017 at 8:01 AM - guild15: If AIMI announced that she was selling her actual Candy Apple Red Stratocaster that she's been using since the beginning of time or that she was giving it away, how many of each other would you guys kill in order to make sure it wound up in your hands
Feb 14, 2017 at 12:26 PM - crimsonknight4: if it was in my price range lol

 

Feb 14, 2017 at 2:23 PM - guild15: Well if it wasn't free (it definitely probably wouldn't be unless it was some kinda chance to win by fulfill so many conditions), I'd say...idk I can't even think of an appropriate price lmao
Feb 14, 2017 at 2:50 PM - Linguistic Massacre: So, I'm going to Japan for the first time in March, for almost a month, and I really want to try to see a Draft King live while I'm there... how would I go about doing that?
Feb 14, 2017 at 8:27 PM - Ray: Uh--Check the tour date sced. then plan your trip for those dates and give your self the money for tickes and a night out. Just jike seeing a band in a club anywhere else in the world.
Feb 14, 2017 at 8:31 PM - Ray: Just remember to get CASH. Your American plastic won't work in some places.
Feb 14, 2017 at 8:32 PM - DSteele: I'm going to Japan in August. But yeah Shiho must be really sick DK just tweeted out Shihos still going to be missing some upcoming live performances.
Feb 14, 2017 at 10:26 PM - Ray: Yeh influenza is a killer. I had it once and was sick for 3 months. AND: Remember to exchange your USD for Yen before you leave for Japan. You can't(or couldn't) do an exchange once you get overseas
Feb 14, 2017 at 10:31 PM - Ray: It may be easier with the 2020 Olimpics coming up but back in the day you couldn't do an exchange in the Airport in Japan or Korea or at most banks
Feb 14, 2017 at 10:33 PM - J-Becker: Hope Shiho gets better. Next live was second part of their chance of getting that ticket to France. Hope they success it with support drums.
Feb 14, 2017 at 10:34 PM - J-Becker: @Linguistic Massacre are you planning attend Aimi's one man live on April 2?
Feb 14, 2017 at 10:36 PM - J-Becker: I was planning to try to exchange program forstuding Japan for 1 year sadly my grades sucks lol. Gonna try next year. About the advice everything @Ray says covers pretty much every advice i have read on the internet
Feb 14, 2017 at 10:39 PM - Ray: Yep. Granted I havn't gone overseas since the 80's but money was always the rub in Asia for me. I had it lucky with my mom living in South Korea, but still , She always told me "Book Ahead for trips to Asia" and get your cash before you leave.
Feb 14, 2017 at 11:34 PM - Arcluna: I was able to exchange money in Japan, but if you plan on using an ATM you need to be careful of your withdrawal limit
Feb 15, 2017 at 12:10 AM - DSteele: Withdraw all the money. Hopefully I'll have about 10 Grand saved up before I go.

 

Feb 16, 2017 at 6:26 AM - Ray: @DSteele: Rember that the federals can confiscate large amounts of cash, and regularly do so at airports.
Feb 16, 2017 at 6:29 AM - Ray: They don't need proof of a crime or even a reason. Its called "asset forfeture". You might want to look at having your bank set up an account for you in whatever city you'll stay in , then wire transfer your money ahead. REMEMBER ANY COP CAN TAKE ANY AMOUNT OF MONEY over like 1000 USD.
Feb 16, 2017 at 6:31 AM - Ray: They do it all the time. No ammount of money is" safe" and D.Trump just LOVES AF
Feb 16, 2017 at 9:30 AM - Ray: My little girl is crying her eyes out in the bath because she got a "B" on her quarterly school grade report. (for y'all in Europe that would be a "4"
Feb 16, 2017 at 9:31 AM - Ray: Its the very first time she has made less than an "A" ("5" in Europe and Asia)

 

Feb 16, 2017 at 3:42 PM - crimsonknight4: thats adorable
Feb 16, 2017 at 3:42 PM - crimsonknight4: i remember my first B
Feb 16, 2017 at 3:42 PM - crimsonknight4: and my only D!
Feb 16, 2017 at 8:12 PM - DSteele: I'm pretty good at talking myself out of situations, just not talking myself into them as far as Japanese drummers go.
Feb 16, 2017 at 8:12 PM - DSteele: Lmao
Feb 17, 2017 at 2:01 AM - Ray: Thank you very much crimsonknight4: She was afraid that getting a semester "B" would see her cut from "computer lab advanced"
Feb 17, 2017 at 2:03 AM - Ray: I told her that everyone knew that she had been sick and her teacher would let her do the makeup work. That and COCO+ Cookie made it all a lot better.
Feb 17, 2017 at 2:04 AM - Ray: I wish everything were so esey fixed in life.

 

Feb 17, 2017 at 7:44 PM - DSteele: I find most things in life can be fixed with chocolate milk.
Feb 18, 2017 at 8:41 AM - DSteele: Or just chocolate in general.
Feb 18, 2017 at 9:14 AM - Ray: Life without chocolate--Why bother?
Feb 18, 2017 at 9:16 AM - Ray: Any clue about Shiho-san's health? 3 weeks is a long time to be down if you have a gig that makes "the big break"
Feb 18, 2017 at 9:16 AM - DSteele: None that she's updated.
Feb 18, 2017 at 9:17 AM - Ray: She must be pretty sick
Feb 18, 2017 at 9:17 AM - DSteele: It would seem so.
Feb 18, 2017 at 9:19 AM - Ray: Man I hope she's OK
Feb 18, 2017 at 9:28 AM - DSteele: I'm sure she will be.

 

Feb 19, 2017 at 2:43 AM - J-Becker: So is Draft King going to France or not ? or Will there be a third round ?
Feb 19, 2017 at 11:37 AM - denis deschenes: hope shio will be ok and in good condition !!!getting sick it not something we want at all ...pray to comeback !!!

 

Feb 19, 2017 at 6:40 PM - DSteele: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r_jdw_UXDy4
Feb 19, 2017 at 8:06 PM - Rafayui: there is 3rd round , semi's, and final..., so still a long way to france , schedule is here ------> http://enter-force.com/schedule.html
Feb 19, 2017 at 9:46 PM - Ray: Thank you very much Rafayui! and thanks for the link.

 

Feb 21, 2017 at 8:00 PM - DSteele: Man that new For Honor game is fun.
Feb 21, 2017 at 11:48 PM - Arcluna: So I didn't buy a graphics card because I bought new cookware
Feb 21, 2017 at 11:48 PM - Arcluna: cookware...
Feb 21, 2017 at 11:48 PM - Arcluna: cook
Feb 21, 2017 at 11:48 PM - Arcluna: ware
Feb 21, 2017 at 11:48 PM - Arcluna: sigh old age
Feb 21, 2017 at 11:52 PM - DSteele: As long as you're making good food its forgivable. Although For Honor is really fun.
Feb 21, 2017 at 11:53 PM - Arcluna: I don't know it FPS?
Feb 22, 2017 at 12:20 AM - DSteele: Nah its like a Medieval combat game. Knights vs Vikings vs Samurai
Feb 22, 2017 at 12:36 AM - Arcluna: RTS?
Feb 22, 2017 at 12:37 AM - Arcluna: sounds interesting
Feb 22, 2017 at 5:55 AM - Ray: @Arcluna: "Old age" how cute.
Feb 22, 2017 at 6:03 AM - Ray: The next time you buy cookware try cast iron. I made supper two nights ago in a pot that my great grandmother bought in 1889. My wife has her great great grannys cast iron cookware. Properly seasoned and cared for it will last for hundreds of years and makes GREAT food
Feb 22, 2017 at 6:06 AM - Ray: You haven't lived till you make bread or a cake in a dutch oven (or a wood stove) the flavors just cannot be found in "modern" cooking.
Feb 22, 2017 at 12:40 PM - DSteele: Nah not an RTS, third person combat with swords, axes, shields, spears, naginatas, etc.

 

Feb 23, 2017 at 9:15 PM - DSteele: Damn, Shiho must be really sick. She's going to miss shows on the 27th and possibly the 16th of march.
Feb 23, 2017 at 11:32 PM - Ray: Yeh..Really sick. I wonder if she isn't looking for the exit from DK. Maybe not. But Aimi-san Yuui-San Hiddi-san and Erica all got "sick" for a while just before they quit.
Feb 23, 2017 at 11:42 PM - Ray: Shiho is showing a pronounced lack of interest in a trip to France. Unless she is at deaths door, her behavior is VERY unJapanese. Not "putting forth effort" usualy = Not interested.
Feb 23, 2017 at 11:46 PM - Ray: The Japanese are a people that will work themselves to death for something they belive in--She's not doing that.
Feb 23, 2017 at 11:56 PM - DSteele: When did she show a pronounced lack of interest? There are few things other than beer I can think of that Shiho enjoys more than drumming.
Feb 23, 2017 at 11:56 PM - Ray: I mean she COULD be so sick that she can't play drums. But six weeks is a lot of rehersal to miss in the middle of a major project unless you are to sick to move or you develop a major case of "F" it
Feb 24, 2017 at 12:00 AM - Ray: And she ain't playin' now is she? I don't mean to badrap your girl. But 8 weeks is a long time to miss if you ain't in the ICU
Feb 24, 2017 at 12:01 AM - Ray: AND Not lack of interest in drums or music. Lack of interest in going to France.
Feb 24, 2017 at 12:35 AM - Arcluna: hey @DSteele ... I just got ForHonor Twitch Prime Bunde for free ^_^
Feb 24, 2017 at 12:37 AM - Arcluna: of course, I don't have the game... but I got this awesome in game loot so yeah!
Feb 24, 2017 at 12:38 AM - Ray: This is all just my opinion . One I have because I think Japanese people are so tough, and Shiho-san is Okinawa so you can double that.
Feb 24, 2017 at 1:00 AM - Arcluna: Shiho suffered from something back with Stereopony in 2012. They had to cancel their tour because of it.
Feb 24, 2017 at 1:09 AM - Ray: OH! so this is something recurrent or cronic. That's not good! That could keep her out for a while. Not GOOD
Feb 24, 2017 at 1:12 AM - Ray: It's one thing if she was OK. But a recurrent condition--Thats not good at all.
Feb 24, 2017 at 1:35 AM - Arcluna: http://forums.verygooddays.com/topic/3626265/1/
Feb 24, 2017 at 1:35 AM - Arcluna: sorry... it was 2010
Feb 24, 2017 at 1:37 AM - Arcluna: http://www.tokyograph.com/news/spitz-stereopony-cancel-concerts/
Feb 24, 2017 at 1:40 AM - DSteele: Tendonitis, wasn't this more... flu like?
Feb 24, 2017 at 1:41 AM - Arcluna: not in 2010
Feb 24, 2017 at 1:43 AM - DSteele: Right that's what I mean, wasn't this sickness like a flu like sickness?
Feb 24, 2017 at 1:44 AM - DSteele: Unless I read something mistranslated
Feb 24, 2017 at 1:48 AM - DSteele: the current one
Feb 24, 2017 at 1:57 AM - Arcluna: oh tbh i don't know
Feb 24, 2017 at 4:17 AM - Ray: Ok Not lack of interest . But if she has severe Tendonitis it could spell the end of drumming. Flu is nasty but it woudn't keep her from performing for six week+
Feb 24, 2017 at 4:20 AM - Ray: Carple tunnel is another form of this and it is a repetative motion injury that offten requires surgery to correct. And all forms of this motion injury hurt like a bitch. ask me how I know
Feb 24, 2017 at 4:25 AM - Ray: Only Pnumonia (spell?) and broncitis will keep you down for more than a month. But Tendonitis would put an end date on here music, and the Doc. had to have told her that in 2010
Feb 24, 2017 at 4:26 AM - Ray: Her*
Feb 24, 2017 at 4:34 AM - Ray: Its a repetative use injury. The more she plays the worse it gets, and nothing she can do will stop it. At some point she quits playing altogether whether she likes it or No
Feb 24, 2017 at 4:50 AM - Ray: Its like a pitcher with a bum elbow. The only way to "fix" the injury is to stop pitching.
Feb 24, 2017 at 4:51 AM - Ray: She can go on playing for a while. But it has an end date.
Feb 24, 2017 at 4:54 AM - Ray: Lets see if she comes back from the "flu" anytime soon. That will tell the tale

 

Feb 24, 2017 at 2:55 PM - DSteele: This is For Honor, and its dope lol https://youtu.be/CY1hRAFo7cg
Feb 24, 2017 at 11:51 PM - J-Becker: Hey!!! AIMI started to follow SHIHO!!!!!!!!
Feb 24, 2017 at 11:52 PM - J-Becker: If we see a followback from SHIHO we got a hope for reunion lol.
Feb 25, 2017 at 12:40 AM - Ray: INTERESTING!! Maybe? But will Nohana-San and Mao-San want it?
Feb 25, 2017 at 1:02 AM - J-Becker: I dunno i was kinda exaggerating lol but its still a good sign.
Feb 25, 2017 at 1:03 AM - J-Becker: Nohana wants to be famous and i remember Shiho was saying similiar stuff on a video. So i think they both would be ok with Stepo reunion.
Feb 25, 2017 at 1:04 AM - J-Becker: Only question is what would happen to Mao. Would she join Stepo as a lead guitarist or a support guitarist like she used to or would she follow another path ?
Feb 25, 2017 at 3:29 AM - DSteele: Holy shit she did.
Feb 25, 2017 at 3:30 AM - DSteele: Mao would be lead Guitarist, and Aimi would be support Guitarist. Mao is a lot better at the more technical guitar playing than Aimi, but Aimis voice is what she's best at.
Feb 25, 2017 at 4:32 AM - Ray: Who did what to whom and for how many cookies?
Feb 25, 2017 at 4:35 AM - Ray: Nohana-San want's to be rich--Fame is just a side effect. Read her blog and look at her blog roll, The woman wants "the good life".
Feb 25, 2017 at 4:38 AM - Ray: And you are dead right--Mao-san is one of the best young pickers in Japan. They are stronger together than they ever were apart.I hope they can make it work this time.
Feb 25, 2017 at 4:39 AM - J-Becker: Well Stereopony is better for all of them.
Feb 25, 2017 at 4:39 AM - Ray: Damn Right!!!!
Feb 25, 2017 at 4:40 AM - J-Becker: If Nohana wants to be rich i think she knows very well that Livehouses is not a fast way to the top.
Feb 25, 2017 at 4:40 AM - Ray: It'll make me happy too
Feb 25, 2017 at 4:41 AM - J-Becker: Also its just my theory but Aimi might talked with Shiho after she became sick/injured.
Feb 25, 2017 at 4:42 AM - Ray: "Live house" is the only road to a music contract in Japan if you are a woman, and will be so as long as old men run the industry in Japan
Feb 25, 2017 at 4:42 AM - J-Becker: sorry Aimi probably talked with Shiho after she became sick*.(sorry for english lol.)
Feb 25, 2017 at 4:43 AM - J-Becker: I also wonder that if they reunite Stepo would they still work with Sony ? Or can they reunite Stepo without Sony's consent ?
Feb 25, 2017 at 4:44 AM - Ray: Oh stop that your English is better than mine,and my people have been in America for 500+ years
Feb 25, 2017 at 4:46 AM - Ray: Hard to tell about Aimi-san and Shiho -San They were friends LONG before Stepo. It could just be two old friends making up, and It could be more
Feb 25, 2017 at 4:46 AM - J-Becker: LoL thnx...
Feb 25, 2017 at 4:47 AM - J-Becker: Yeah that also true.
Feb 25, 2017 at 4:48 AM - Ray: Did the contrct with Sony expire? It has been ++ten years.
Feb 25, 2017 at 4:51 AM - J-Becker: I dont know anything about that sadly. But i think even Sony would happy with a reunion lol.
Feb 25, 2017 at 4:52 AM - J-Becker: Stepo's website still online but %90 of their CD's has been sold out.
Feb 25, 2017 at 4:52 AM - Ray: Yeh. Me too. They still have a big global fan base. And the Music BIZ is about MONEY
Feb 25, 2017 at 4:53 AM - Ray: The fact that they are still a big seller would draw the money guys like blood draws sharks
Feb 25, 2017 at 4:54 AM - J-Becker: Yep. I mean they still get too many views on youtube. And judging by the comments they got very HUGE fanbase at overseas thanks to Bleach and Gundam
Feb 25, 2017 at 4:55 AM - Ray: My thoughts exactly
Feb 25, 2017 at 4:56 AM - Ray: People still talk about them at COMICON here in Louisville-That says a lot for a band that broke up almost ten years ago.
Feb 25, 2017 at 4:59 AM - J-Becker: We'll wait and see. Hope they take advantage of this hype.
Feb 25, 2017 at 5:03 AM - Ray: It's the quickest road for all of them. But human hearts being what they are we'll just have to wait and see. Then keep suporting the "girls" no matter what.
Feb 25, 2017 at 5:19 AM - Ray: Ah my cup Ramen is ready

 

Feb 25, 2017 at 5:31 AM - DSteele: Stereopony still has a big fan base.
Feb 25, 2017 at 7:57 AM - Ray: Making the kid BBQ chicken , rice and strawberries. Im trying to bribe the wife into a new sewing pattern.
Feb 25, 2017 at 7:58 AM - Arcluna: making strawberries :S
Feb 25, 2017 at 7:59 AM - Ray: Wash , Slice
Feb 25, 2017 at 7:59 AM - Arcluna: i'm clapping for you
Feb 25, 2017 at 7:59 AM - Arcluna: very
Feb 25, 2017 at 8:00 AM - Arcluna: very
Feb 25, 2017 at 8:00 AM - Arcluna: slowly
Feb 25, 2017 at 8:01 AM - Ray: Yeh but for someone who hand sews 17th and 18th century costumes slow ..........isn't that slow
Feb 25, 2017 at 8:01 AM - Arcluna: haha
Feb 25, 2017 at 8:02 AM - Arcluna: in 7th grade I had to sew a pillow in school
Feb 25, 2017 at 8:02 AM - Arcluna: haven't really sewed anything since...1997...
Feb 25, 2017 at 8:04 AM - Ray: I do a GAOP cosplay thing, and no one (at least not me) can afford a hand sewn Justacorp unless they do it themselves. Besides I like to sew
Feb 25, 2017 at 8:08 AM - Arcluna: ah nice
Feb 25, 2017 at 8:16 AM - Ray: at one point I inhereted a taylors shop so I have enough "stuff" to last the rest of my life
Feb 25, 2017 at 8:24 AM - Arcluna: oh wow. I know quite a few people who would be extremely jealous
Feb 25, 2017 at 8:33 AM - Ray: Yeh I sold the pattern library (40's 50's 60's) to help pay my treatment bills when I had cancer--Made good money off it
Feb 25, 2017 at 8:35 AM - Ray: I kept the silk thread fabric and most of the thread. I let my relitives get first pick. Even after the dress makers and quilters
Feb 25, 2017 at 8:36 AM - Ray: I still had like 50 plastic bins and 35 sewing machines
Feb 25, 2017 at 9:45 AM - Arcluna: sorry Ray, my brother stopped by here at Starbucks and I was away
Feb 25, 2017 at 9:46 AM - Arcluna: eek I'm sorry you 'had' cancer, but glad you were able to persevere!
Feb 25, 2017 at 11:17 AM - Ray: Yeh it was wierd. Mine was REALLY rare. It kills 99.999% of all men who get it within the first year and it only attacks men
Feb 25, 2017 at 11:18 AM - Arcluna: omg
Feb 25, 2017 at 11:18 AM - Arcluna: you mind if i ask what it was called?
Feb 25, 2017 at 11:19 AM - Ray: I had it twice. The second tine they told my wife to plan my funeral .It doesn't have a name only a string of letters and numbers
Feb 25, 2017 at 11:20 AM - Arcluna: wtf Ray that's crazy
Feb 25, 2017 at 11:21 AM - Arcluna: well, as an aspiring doctor, I'm glad your doctors were wrong
Feb 25, 2017 at 11:21 AM - Ray: I can only say it was GOD's will that I lived cause it was not my doing. Its so rare that as of may10 Im one of only about 500 survivers world wide.
Feb 25, 2017 at 11:22 AM - Arcluna: wow
Feb 25, 2017 at 11:22 AM - Arcluna: seriously wow
Feb 25, 2017 at 11:23 AM - Ray: May 10 2010 last day of treatment. Cancer is gone with only scars and Nuropithy left behind.
Feb 25, 2017 at 11:25 AM - Ray: I was alergic to all the Chemo they tryed so they cooked me with radiation till I had "accute radiation sickness" Basicly puking blood and mucus into a bucket . Nasty
Feb 25, 2017 at 11:28 AM - Ray: But aside from the perminantloss of my ability to sing or play music I do pretty good. The parallisis on my right side has mostly resolved and the nerves in my face have regenerated so I don't look like I just had a stroke
Feb 25, 2017 at 11:29 AM - Arcluna: WOW
Feb 25, 2017 at 11:30 AM - Arcluna: did you go through any experimental treatment?

 

Feb 25, 2017 at 11:30 AM - Ray: I had REALLY REALLY REALLY good Doctors and one of the Radiation labs in the US
Feb 25, 2017 at 11:30 AM - Arcluna: a big thing they're trying to do is mark cancer to be attacked by your own immune system. It could be a game changer if successful
Feb 25, 2017 at 11:31 AM - Arcluna: That's great. I'm glad you saw them.
Feb 25, 2017 at 11:33 AM - Ray: No THANK G_D!! They killed it with high dose radiation. For me the big thing was my imune system. They told me the day yhey found it that I probably had between 150 and 300 mets with 6 months to live. I had ZERO mets and the tumor was still encapsulated
Feb 25, 2017 at 11:34 AM - Arcluna: amazing
Feb 25, 2017 at 11:34 AM - Arcluna: Sorry Ray, I gotta head home from starbucks
Feb 25, 2017 at 11:35 AM - Arcluna: Please tell me more about it though. I'm really glad you made it through.
Feb 25, 2017 at 11:35 AM - Ray: What kills with this cancer is how fast it grows and spreds. Mine was 5MM on the first scan and 53mm FIVE WEEKS later
Feb 25, 2017 at 11:35 AM - Arcluna: holy shit
Feb 25, 2017 at 11:35 AM - Arcluna: over 10X growth
Feb 25, 2017 at 11:35 AM - Ray: Me too later I gotta go read a bedtime story to my kid
Feb 25, 2017 at 11:36 AM - Arcluna: we'll continue this later
Feb 25, 2017 at 11:36 AM - Arcluna: later!
Feb 25, 2017 at 11:36 AM - Ray: Later be safe.

 

Feb 25, 2017 at 4:11 PM - DSteele: Still really excited about Aimi following Shiho.
Feb 25, 2017 at 4:29 PM - crimsonknight4: oh sh*t, you're right
Feb 25, 2017 at 4:33 PM - DSteele: lol
Feb 25, 2017 at 4:38 PM - DSteele: I hope Shiho isnt dealing with that tendon stuff again
Feb 25, 2017 at 4:40 PM - crimsonknight4: beats me, i dont even know what you're talking about
Feb 25, 2017 at 4:52 PM - DSteele: Few years ago they cancelled a tour because shiho had Tendonitis or something
Feb 25, 2017 at 4:52 PM - crimsonknight4: ah ok
Feb 26, 2017 at 1:48 AM - Ray: Nohana-san and Mao-san went to see Orange Range last night. The photos are VERY CUTE! It would give me great hope to see them start talking with Aimi too
Feb 26, 2017 at 7:04 AM - Arcluna: Oh my god
Feb 26, 2017 at 7:05 AM - Arcluna: I just read above about AIMI following Shiho
Feb 26, 2017 at 9:58 AM - crimsonknight4: yeah, thats big
Feb 26, 2017 at 9:58 AM - crimsonknight4: most probably dont understand how much
Feb 26, 2017 at 10:43 AM - DSteele: Now we can all join hands, dance in a circle and chant stereopony lmao.
Feb 26, 2017 at 11:42 AM - Ray: HAHAHAHA!! Thats funny! Steele. And Yeh I for one get how big this is. Its implications are stunning
Feb 26, 2017 at 11:45 AM - Ray: What we don't know far outpaces what we do.
Feb 26, 2017 at 11:46 AM - DSteele: I wonder if DK is going to have any shows in August, I might see them while im in Japan.
Feb 26, 2017 at 11:47 AM - Ray: I wish I were going

 

Feb 26, 2017 at 3:41 PM - crimsonknight4: I might go in July
Feb 26, 2017 at 3:45 PM - DSteele: I don't get done working till August so I have to wait till then
Feb 26, 2017 at 3:45 PM - DSteele: Well July 24th rather.
Feb 26, 2017 at 3:46 PM - crimsonknight4: oh, for some reason I thought July was after august lol
Feb 26, 2017 at 3:46 PM - crimsonknight4: if we coincide ill see you at a show! lol
Feb 26, 2017 at 4:29 PM - DSteele: Yeah I'll drag my friend along begrudgingly
Feb 27, 2017 at 3:56 AM - Arcluna: ^ CK you're quip has not gone unnoticed
Feb 27, 2017 at 6:28 AM - crimsonknight4: what quip? lol
Feb 27, 2017 at 6:58 AM - Ray: Criptic!
Feb 27, 2017 at 7:08 AM - Ray: Or is that quiptic? (wa wa wa)
Feb 27, 2017 at 7:13 AM - Ray: How much cash does it take for a 30 day in Japan in 2017? I havn't traveled in a LONG time and wondered about the cost of summer in Jappan
Feb 27, 2017 at 7:13 AM - Ray: Japan*
Feb 27, 2017 at 7:52 AM - DSteele: Not sure, plane tickets like 1100-1500 at any given time, and im not sure how cheap accommodations are. Id say bar the price of the plane ticket having 5K would be safe.
Feb 27, 2017 at 7:53 AM - Ray: Thanks Steele. My Mom says more. But her last trip to Asia was 2009 to Korea
Feb 27, 2017 at 8:04 AM - Ray: You guys have inspired me. I think I want to go see some Japanese Live house while I still can. My wife could care less. Her and the kid want to go to the land of mouse this summer
Feb 27, 2017 at 9:07 AM - Ray: OMG ! My wife says she'd like to GO! for like a week, then just let me wander for a month if I want too. Any good concert dates this summer?
