How do we feel about Cosmic Explorer?

My cold sleep deep dive continues and I was really looking forward to this - mainly because of nostalgia, amazing cover art (the one with the big faces) and a cool title.

But it’s not really the one 🤨 it feels like a conscious effort to change the sound, which is not bad in itself but it feels like quite generic mid-2010s EDM. And the album versions of the singles feel worse than the single mixes, especially Flash.

If only they’d included Display and Toumei Ningen…

I have faith it’s going to get better with FP (or at least Plasma) though

I started a FFX-2 replay

I think I liked it at the time, it was nice to be back in Spira and tying up loose ends. But I started my reply just after a FFX replay and I finally see why everyone was losing it. I thought it was just a misogyny-related thing but the left turn is wild!

It’s like Cowboy Bebop and Charlie’s Angels 2000. Which is not a bad idea but what a weird game.

I haven’t had enough sleep and I’ve just flopped a few times at Gunner’s Gauntlet and got angry so that’s enough for the day, what a hateful mini-game

My Cold Sleep deep dive continues (2010-2013)

Hi, I hope I’m allowed a little promotion again, and thanks for the support so far.

During Cold Sleep I wanted to brush up my fan qualification by doing a real deep dive into the Perfume back catalogue, including of course the albums, B-sides and tours, as well as a (lengthy) detour into the Capsule-verse, and KPP.

I’m onto part 3 now, covering the JPN and Level 3 eras, which is easily the most labour-intensive section so far 😂 so many DVD releases and Capsule/KPP content but I made it, and the video will be released on Saturday night JPN-time.

I’d love to know your thought about this era, and your thoughts on the video too if you have the time (the runtime did spiral out of control…)

Disco!Disco!Disco! @ Yoyogi

I’m getting the next part of my deep dive ready, and I’m a bit behind on the live tours/shows. I just got to the Disco!x3 show in Yoyogi National Gymnasium.

I’m told it’s never been released on DVD but I’m watching it on YouTube and it seems to be professionally filmed and has captions for each song, as well as a little montage at the start of their gradually increasing concert venues. But if it wasn’t released, where did this recording come from?

The video I’m watching really went overboard on motion blur effects (maybe to avoid copyright strikes) which might be the cause of it looking really smoky in the venue 😂

Anyway just wondering!
(And also what do you think of it?)

Do you listen to the Capsule/Nakata albums too?

While I’ve been doing my Perfume deep dive, I thought I’d go through the Capsule albums at the same time.

It did make things a bit unbalanced because Capsule were very prolific until around the Level3 era so it’s felt more like a Capsule deep dive than a Perfume one 😂

That being said, I’ve enjoyed almost everything I’ve heard, especially from Fruits Clipper onwards, how about you? I’ve just reached World of Fantasy so I guess I’ll start adding Kyary into the mix from now too (especially as Capsule slowed down a lot in the 2010s)
