And I haven't seen her, but I should tomorrow evening when I go to boxing. Gonna wear the tank top. Already thinking of cool/smart things to say so that I don't seem like a complete and total idiot in front of her
Don't forget about those amazing lawyer pickup lines! use them to your advantage!
How about "hey girl I'm in law school so hopefully one day I'll make a lot of money you're very pretty"?
Sooyoung has a bag that contains x green sweets and y red sweets. A sweet is selected at random and its color is written down. It is then placed back into the bag together with an additional 10 sweets of the same color. A second sweet is next randomly drawn. Find the probability that the second sweet is red. Then, find the probability the the first sweet is green if you know that the second sweet is red.
Solution, maybe? (Is this how it works?) It's also Wednesday~ Weekend. Almost there.
Spoiler: click to toggle
A: 1st sweet green B: 1st sweet red C: 2nd sweet green D: 2nd sweet red
P(A) = x/(x+y) ; P(B) = y/(x+y) P(D given A) = y/(x+y+10) P(D given B) = (y+10)/(x+y+10) Hence, P(D) = [x/(x+y)]•[y/(x+y+10)]+[y/(x+y)]•[(y+10)/(x+y+10)] = (y^2+xy+10y)/[(x+y)(x+y+10)] = Lazy to simplify

Just wish there will be more people to fangirl together. Someday...
Spoiler: click to toggle
1. Thank you. For a group that has reputation of singing songs that are gloomy, dark, & full of despair (lol, I think anime/casual fans usually got that impression), a lot of their lyrics are just full of hope and optimism. It really helped me through. <3 I'm thankful she is in a group and not going solo. I don't think she can handle the pressure yet. At least in Kalafina and FJ she got the other to help and cover her weakness. However, enduring so many lives with such severe stage fright in itself is an achievement, so for that I respect her. I don't think I will shut up if I can attend their live.
2. Protect her reputation, huh? Sounds familiar. I guess fandom is the same everywhere. Actually I want to ask, do you know about their reputation in Japan? Not about their fame, but general impression from people that aware of them.
3. Yeah, not being idols certainly take a lot of pressures away. Training as in vocal or PR?
4. Yuuka doesn't have many roles yet, right? I think after Mai-HiMe she actually can get more varied ones, that is if she decided to go down on this path. Now she kind of lost her momentum imo The horror of some T5ubas@ Chr0n1cl3 character songs scarred me permanently *shudders*
5. THIS WOMAN ugh, such a precious person ilu. I just want to give her hug and tell her how great she is. From her blog post, Hikaru's thoughts are so random ide. I mean, this is a woman that wrote she thought about polar bear and white snake when receiving a white colored gifts. So unfair, really. We should make petition. Thank you for the rec. You're right though, baby steps are the way to go. Learning new language is not an easy thing for me.
6. It also help that the video is not taken down yet. I think this is one of the song that will rarely leave their concert list. Wonder if for some people this song can be a bit melodramatic/too overwhelming? Speaking of music, it seems they'll release a bunch of music in this second half of the year. I'm looking forward to the x-mas acoustic because of the new arrangements. When she's constantly improving, I don't think people got any reason to bash her anymore (well, they usually attack her appearance, anyway :-/).
If I have anything to say about it, there will surely be more fans.
Spoiler: click to toggle
1. Yeah, I agree. There's always a thread of something positive amongst the sadness, which I think a lot of people don't properly appreciate. Some of the songs seem depressing, but if you read into them, you can see that there's also a lot of hope for the future as well. It's really nice that she manages to get both parts of human nature in one song so nicely and with such poetry, too. I'm really glad they helped you and I hope that they'll continue to! Yes! I respect her beyond belief for conquering her fears to stand on stage and do something she loves. It takes a lot of bravery to do that for so long. Hahaha, I couldn't shut up either, so I'll understand your excitement. I really hope you get the chance to, it'll make me happy for you as well.
2. lmfao I know, right? As if Keiko cares, she's been open with it enough so far. And no, I can't say that I do. I've spoken to a few Japanese people about them, but they don't know who they are... I guess they're only really that popular in the anime scene, sadly enough. The impression from fans seems to be that they have a conservative and classical image, though, but that's just the ones I've spoken to. The general impression might be different.
3. Vocal training. tbh I think they're all decent-ish as they are, but I think they all have the potential to be so much better with the right help. Plus, I think it'd help Wakana and her voice if she got someone professional to help her deal with it, and it might make her feel better if she had someone to consult about any worries she had.
4. Yeah, just a few. Mai-HiME was her chance to break out, so to speak, and I think she missed the window of opportunity. It's more bad for us, I think, considering that she seems perfectly happy with her singing career. Shame, though. I know what you mean. Sometimes you listen and you think, "who the Hell let you near the recording studio?!", lmfao.
5. LOL yes. I'd like to pat her head and tell her everything is going to be okay. She just invites such sympathy and caring, doesn't she? Such a precious woman. and lol, I think I remember that. Girl has such an odd way of thinking... I remember the other two saying she was a valedictorian at her school, too, so her weird mind must've been accompanied by some awesome intellect, too. Maybe if we just got a cute girl to ask, she'd comply. You know Keiko can't refuse a cute girl. Your English is quite good, though, so it seems to pay off. Once you get the hang of the language you can start hanging around Japanese sites and trying to talk in Japanese. If you get it wrong, it's not a big deal, as long as you're just practicing using it.
6. Which is surprising, considering how Nazi Sony can be about uploading Kalafina songs. Honestly, it's like they've never heard of promoting overseas. It's free marketing! And I guess if you're not into classical sounding things, you won't like the song, but... Then Kalafina in general might not be for you. Their songs are predominantly classical-sounding. I really love that about them, but some people might not. Shame. I hope so! I was pleasantly surprised with Consolation, and I heard they're releasing two new singles at some point, so I'll be looking forward to that. Damn, shallow people. I think Hikaru is adorable, but bashing her appearance is stupid. SHE'S SO CUTE.
Aug 27 2013, 07:20 PM
Maybe, IDK, I've never heard of them before so I don't know what to expect. If there's a place to get their songs or some videos I might give them a try when I have the time.
You can expect a lot! They do everything from contemporary classical to rock to more electronic kinds of songs. If you tell me what you like the sound of, I'll link you to one of their songs that sound like that.

Hi, sorry to cut in, but wow! You've ranked their entire discography?! I admire your dedication
I haven't kept up with Kajiura's work since I dropped out of the anime fandom some years ago (and even then, it was mainly the FJ Yuuka work I had my eyes on), so the above is all very interesting and new. Time to catch up, I guess~

No, no! Feel free to! It's a public discussion, I would like to talk to more people.
And yeah. I love organisation and I love lists, they're quick and efficient, so I'd like to eventually rank all discography, if possible. I find it enjoyable and fun to do so. Gave me an excuse to listen to everything again seriously, too.
Let me know what you think! Which anime did you like/were a huge fan of, if you don't mind me asking?

That's a tough question actually, I listen to so many genres in so many languages from many decades; my tastes are varied to say the least. Though if I single out J-pop most of the songs I've listened to fall under the "Anime OP/End theme" kind of music, M-Flo, I love Utada Hikaru (First Love ), Ayumi Hamasaki, L'Arc-en-Ciel, Kaya, I even liked Kyary Pamyu Pamyu's PONPONPON. Not sure if that helps you or not.

Well, like I was saying to the Anon, this song encapsulates what Kalafina is all about: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UeJdI2J3p0Q If you aren't opposed to that style, you'll probably like their other stuff as well, but they do perform other types of songs, like rockish ones...
If I have anything to say about it, there will surely be more fans.

I certainly applaud your effort.

1. You certainly said it better than I could! Something positive amongst the sadness, yup that's exactly why they have such a deep impact to me. I wonder how she can write such lyrics. Kajiura seems to have her own way at perceiving things and put it into words. As long as they continue with their music, I will always be a fan. Her interview in Kala Records truly endears her to me more, especially all the sacrifices she had to make. She doesn't seem to have good view about herself, though, which makes me sad. Thank you for that.
2. Well, that's just the way fandoms are (--;;). She doesn't even subtle about it. Sigh, doesn't really surprise me, it is their target demographic after all. Plus their music itself is pretty niche imo. Conservative, ay? lol. Thanks for telling me.
3. Vocal training will definitely be appreciated, especially given how hard a lot of their songs can be. She desperately needs that tbh, not to mention it can boost her confidence if she doesn't have to worry her voice will give out anytime on stage. I got the impression it won't be easy for her to even talk about it, though.
4. It would be great if she can come back to the VA world someday. Even if just a small role or something. I guess ability to voice one character doesn't exactly translate to stellar singing ability lol.
5. She's just so nice and eager to please, it's hard not to feel sympathy for her lol. I wonder if one of the reason Hikaru is so quiet is because she's aware of how weird her thought process can be lmao. The things she said and wrote certainly give me impression of how intelligent she can be. I also remember she considered going to law school. LOL that's like typical smart Asian kid thing to do. That girl has to be strong enough so she will not be pimped by Keiko instead. Thank you. I'm very weak at grammar, though. I definitely need to put the more effort this time.
6. Tell me about it. The inconsistency irks me too. A HD video of their concert since 3 years ago still intact, while a low quality audio files with static picture will disappear in an hour. Now their 2011 live is disappearing one by one after 2 whole years. If there's anything J-pop can learn from K-pop it's how to make it more accessible to overseas audience. Indeed it's such a shame. Their discography is diverse enough, so there might be something for everyone. Evil S0ny of course then revealed there are different versions of the single with different contents and god knows what else... I hope if it's ballad, it will something a bit different like Utsukushisa or Lirica. Well that's how they are. For me they're all beautiful. I confess I have a full blown crush on Hikaru, even if she's probably a straightie like Wakana (I can hope, okay). She's just too cute and random and shy and fierce and....
I had a big crush on one of my teachers at the university, I felt like she was into me the same way I was into her, but idk how but things got cold between us, I decided to try going out with another girl but it didn't work, we managed to have a few dates and chats but nothing else, now my crush just told me she has a boyfriend, she has lied to me before but that really hurt.
I guess I wasn't over her, now that I finished uni, I need to forget her. I thought that I could ask her out once I got out of uni, but now she's taken fml.
Which anime did you like/were a huge fan of, if you don't mind me asking?
Oops, list is unexpectedly bulky. I didn't realise there were so many...

Oprahla back wanting to get rid of some Soshi goodies. Anyone interested in Taeyeon's and the group posters from The Boys? They will never have a place up on my wall. You'd only need to pay for shipping.
@Plank: i'm sorry but those answers are incorrect. You are so close though omg
@Teaser Anon: I wish you'd register
EDIT: actually, your P(2nd is Red) is correct (messed up the simplification when checking lol) and so i'll accept that part of the question. The other part though is incorrect.

would shipping cost be different if i'm only getting one or is it better to just get both?
Edit: can you give me a ballpark of how much it would cost?

I don't think it'd matter much. Price would only change depending on whether you'd want them folded or in a tube (though I doubt you want them ruined) and which type of shipping you want, EMS or Economy. :p
I just checked the website (for Economy) and since the thing doesn't exceed 350grams, it's $8.50 dollars at least for shipping, but let's say $10 to be sure to ship it to the States, I'd return the any money left if it doesn't reach 10. It's obviously more expensive by EMS, and I'd have to go to the post office to get the exact price for that option.
Oh, and have to add that they're both in perfect condition, I've only taken them out of their tube like three times.

I'm sure Arti will come up with a very comprehensive list of recommendation.
Have you watched M4d0ka M4g1c4? (I think Arti doesn't like this :p ). . Kajiura made the OST and Kalafina sang the ending.

I read on 0mon4 that (before ps) this girl was bullied by her "friends" because she was deemed too ugly. She also had difficulty finding job due to her looks, despite being very smart and graduated from top university.
I'm more a logic person,who likes to think and think before doing something. Have a plan. These new battle sistems aren't funny for me. They are too fast and like this i don't completely enjoy the battles.
Wae you're doing this to me Squ@re 3nix...
The 10th is the last FF that i actually enjoyed. Sad...

15 looks good, the gameplay reminds me of kingdom hearts. The only problem is the lack of females
Can't wait for the HD release of 10
And I'll probably end up buying FFxiii-3 (when is cheaper) because I want to know how the story ends, platinum come to me.

I certainly applaud your effort.

1. You certainly said it better than I could! Something positive amongst the sadness, yup that's exactly why they have such a deep impact to me. I wonder how she can write such lyrics. Kajiura seems to have her own way at perceiving things and put it into words. As long as they continue with their music, I will always be a fan. Her interview in Kala Records truly endears her to me more, especially all the sacrifices she had to make. She doesn't seem to have good view about herself, though, which makes me sad. Thank you for that.
2. Well, that's just the way fandoms are (--;;). She doesn't even subtle about it. Sigh, doesn't really surprise me, it is their target demographic after all. Plus their music itself is pretty niche imo. Conservative, ay? lol. Thanks for telling me.
3. Vocal training will definitely be appreciated, especially given how hard a lot of their songs can be. She desperately needs that tbh, not to mention it can boost her confidence if she doesn't have to worry her voice will give out anytime on stage. I got the impression it won't be easy for her to even talk about it, though.
4. It would be great if she can come back to the VA world someday. Even if just a small role or something. I guess ability to voice one character doesn't exactly translate to stellar singing ability lol.
5. She's just so nice and eager to please, it's hard not to feel sympathy for her lol. I wonder if one of the reason Hikaru is so quiet is because she's aware of how weird her thought process can be lmao. The things she said and wrote certainly give me impression of how intelligent she can be. I also remember she considered going to law school. LOL that's like typical smart Asian kid thing to do. That girl has to be strong enough so she will not be pimped by Keiko instead. Thank you. I'm very weak at grammar, though. I definitely need to put the more effort this time.
6. Tell me about it. The inconsistency irks me too. A HD video of their concert since 3 years ago still intact, while a low quality audio files with static picture will disappear in an hour. Now their 2011 live is disappearing one by one after 2 whole years. If there's anything J-pop can learn from K-pop it's how to make it more accessible to overseas audience. Indeed it's such a shame. Their discography is diverse enough, so there might be something for everyone. Evil S0ny of course then revealed there are different versions of the single with different contents and god knows what else... I hope if it's ballad, it will something a bit different like Utsukushisa or Lirica. Well that's how they are. For me they're all beautiful. I confess I have a full blown crush on Hikaru, even if she's probably a straightie like Wakana (I can hope, okay). She's just too cute and random and shy and fierce and....
I SHALL NEVER REST UNTIL THE WORLD IS A KALAFINA FAN. Honestly, I should be their foreign PR agent, the way I go on about them.

1. I agree. I've seen some people dismiss them as being too dramatic, but I like lyrics with impact, I think they make me appreciate the song more. Have you read Hikari no Senritsu's lyrics? They're among my favourites, alongside Red Moon and Haru ha Kogane. Yeah... It made me sad that both Wakana and Keiko cried during it, haha. It must've been pretty emotional recalling all of the stuff they had to go through before they found their place. I think both Keiko and Wakana really treasure Kalafina and Kajiura for the opportunities... I don't get that impression from Hikaru as much. Maybe because she hasn't been there as long, or she's so determined that she knows she'd have found a way anyway...?
2. I know, right? Blech, idiot fanboys. One good thing is that Keiko being such a les doesn't impact her career. Granted, the privacy might help, but I'm glad that she can be so at ease with herself and not have to worry about social consequences.
3. I think it'd be easier for them to cope. Keiko seems to be doing well, and Hikaru is... Well, she's Hikaru, but Wakana definitely seems to be struggling. Like you say, I think it'd also be the hardest for her to open up to another person. She seems like the type to see herself as a burden, and if she admits she needs help where others might not, she might see herself as dragging the group down. A shame, really.
4. Maybe she will! Who's to say she won't do a cameo appearance or something? We can hope, right? lmfao not usually. I'm okay with the singing not being fab as long as the song is catchy enough, though. I think most of my iPod songs are character songs.
5. Oh, definitely. In Kalafina Record, when she said that she'd go home and cry in the shower whenever she got scolded at work, that was so adorable, haha. I feel sorry for her, yet, I'm glad she's so emotionally honest with herself. It give me a sadistic kind of joy that she's so adorable, even though I want her to be less sensitive so she doesn't get hurt as much. Yeah. Hikaru seems the type to be very insightful, but about potentially weird things. Philosophising about the purpose of mundane things and taking them in directions people wouldn't think to, I guess. I'd love to have a serious conversation with her. Your English is better than some native speakers I've spoken to. If you do with Japanese what you do with English, you should be fine.
6. The same Red Moon live has been up for ages, yet upload a cover of Door, and you're taken down! Sony doesn't seem to give a shit about marketing them properly, just squeezing all of the possible amount of Yens as it can. Bleeeh. I hate that money-mongering. Just give me my precious single, we aren't all made of bloody money, you currency leech!

Have you watched M4d0ka M4g1c4? (I think Arti doesn't like this :p ). .
I'm more a logic person,who likes to think and think before doing something. Have a plan. These new battle sistems aren't funny for me. They are too fast and like this i don't completely enjoy the battles.
