Ariamaru Tomi is indeed anti-consumerism!
That being said, she typically has impenetrable lyrics. And unfortunately the best site for Ringo lyrics is now defunct thanks to people not respecting the translator's work. |

^Really? I thought centigrade-J just stopped doing Ringo translations altogether cos the owner(s) only really likes Mr. Children, or something. It is a shame though the translations were really quite good.

The board's very own Frecklegirl does great, methodical translations of SR's work, along with works by Maaya Sakamoto and Bonnie Pink. She used to do Shakira translations as well. She also includes a lot of notes on her translations which are very helpful.

Ah I've seen that blog before, it's a good rudimentary resource but am personally not a fan of the translations there since they seem to miss the point of SR's lyrics sometimes.

I actually didn't know Frecklegirl was back! I knew she took a break to focus on her job.
If she's reading this: Thank you Frecklegirl! We all appreciate your hard work so much! |

Woah, I was curious if there was any difference between the HIT album and single versions of Ariamaru Tomi, after listening, I'm convinced that they mastered HIT with the intention to fuck with our ears! First few seconds alone my speakers are screeching/squealing from the exaggerated around-8k frequencies, now repeat that every bar 'til the song ends.
I checked it at the EQ and lo and behold. The recessed 250-500 Mids aside, the treble is actually quite balanced... but somebody got the bright idea to amp the very specific 10k to high heavens. Why do they keep doing that with a lot of Shiina's records (is it her doing?)? I noticed from her similar works that if you discount the awful HISSes, most of the time, the whole track is pretty balanced in frequency, but still come across as bad because of how it was mixed. Her voice are always muffled but managed to be sibilant (which is weird because you don't usually associate muffle with hisses) with it's cut-out high-mids. And the drums follow the EQing of the vocals, with the keys and guitars filling the huge void of the two in the high-mids (why the KnG are always more powerful than her voice in the records). And the bass drowns the rest without even being loud. Do they think it's cool?
And if it is Shiina's prerogative, doesn't anybody tell her that it sounds shitty, sabotage-y, suicidal. Same goes if it was the highly experienced/talented producer influencing, should've trusted other people's ears for the final mix/master.
...because the EQing of each instruments and as a whole are still s̶h̶i̶t̶t̶y̶ disappointing for me. And aww, doge speak. I guess you don't appreciate cute swingy Shiina. XD |
