Muro Festival, is a rock festival! Which invites newcomers, upcoming artists, veteran come-on-ers, and all hard song enthusiasts alike to celebrate. Named after Muro Kiyoto, who is the manager of a Shibuya concert venue. As an avid enforcer of music events he’s esteemed by many in the scene, so the event draws in people who are driven by the fuel of that pass. At least bands will comment “Muro fest is an adhesive (Arukara)” or “The number one trait of Murofes is that the performing bands have awesome strong connections even on the side, and that the essence of that friendship engulfs it (Wasure).“ or “Even if Murofest was hosted at a small park or a in the middle of the street or in Muro’s house or even in a public toilet, I would perform. I love Murofest (Mizuno Gii).” 

Anyway the performances are full of power! Full of summer heat! Full of maudlinism to soar like Muninn! Full of a favorite: there’s Hitorie’s dead pan heartfelt bassist, ygarshy! 

And you were able to watch it on a niconico livestream but...

 IT’S ENDED NOW

 I will preserve this post as a report.... Doubling as a source for various trivia....  I’m considering maybe if a fan makes a purchase of a Wasureranneyo album, or something of similar sentiment, and DM’s me a screenshot, I could share the recording... Even if you see this in a billion lightyears from now. Because sharing is caring, all around yeah!!!

You have to get niconico premium to watch it, which is only 540 yen. Nothing compared to the fest’s ticket fee of 10,000 yen (Plus airfare fee for us overseers). You can use foreign debit cards, or even Paypal… ! Much of the performances were locked up, only for Premium members originally even for those who were able to watch real-time, so there’s no regrets in seizing the now. Thumbs up. Live shows enhance a whole different essence, so more than listening to a J-rock playlist on Spotify I’d recommend taking a dive into this while you can!!

Not only can you upfront witness the air around their electric pickguards warp to their technique, you can see them hop and whomp and throwmp around! What chords they clench with their teeth, what lines they unleash from the pit of their lungs, what parts the band will huddle together for and what songs mean the world to them! Also the crowds reactions, I move when I see them move, in polysemy. If there’s any niche J-rock band names you’ve maybe been curious about, or just want to find some new indie J-rock, the artist line-up is here! LAMP ON TERREN: wowawawa’s best buddy ‘Dai-chan’ is in there… *Waves hand* TERREN were once scheduled for a joint live with perfect timing, so they brought a birthday cake for wowaka and they got friendly with Rie... or so they thought.. The next day SND was ready to beat the shit out of them on stage. But they’re all friendly now (I think)))) Arukara: They master the standard rock setup with wads of distortion, wah effects, while sometimes make instrumental songs with violin etc. even! They do podcasts! And they reinforce cats a lot. I recommend Chigirero.  majiko: Village Man’s Store: Who are the band with bright red suits, bright firey songs, and bright red lips who kissed Shinoda that one time - In seriousness I could recommend them though, they’re sweet with only a little taste of the sleazy!  KAKASHI are rejoiced by quite a few Hitorie fans I know. There’s CIVILIAN: A three-piece whom all graduated from the Tokyo School of Music Shibuya, the bonds roam, who also hosts Nanou HoehoeP, another past utaite like majiko. LEGO BIG MORL: Sukippara ni Sake: Who are swanky with Kachāshī-like dances to the stretches of never making a boring song. And so so many more! J-rock band names start to make more less sense the more I’m in here! Wahoo! A band named Hitorie performed two years ago, and there’s LEGO BIG MORL this year, which is hoisted up by the same manager as Hitorie, Mika Arara! The members separately will some participate in cooking shows(), some each do acoustic shows on their own accord, each ego-search, and their stoic songs together are bound to at least make your foot tap from their flavored textures. For this sake I’m eyeing up the band’s particularly memorable whiz named Hiroki Tanaka. Hiroki is not most notable for his #My ygarshy hashtag, but for the sake of this he is. Under the tag is either Hiroki posting a picture of him together with ygarshy or him commenting #My ygarshy on pictures ygarshy of himself with others. Or the “What? Are you a couple?” on ygarshy’s “It’s our 9th year anniversary” photo of him with SND… yg “Sorry.” In general ygarshy and Hiroki are friendly, they drink and vent together time to time.Also Hiroki and Shibata Takahiro, the character who comes in soon, have a unit called Takahiroki. Which is the two of them fused to make flurry, with only an acoustic guitar and a mic as their weapons even!  Their concerts tend to break the norms of the non-flamboyant J-rock scene, as they screw around with their power with no real point, just a joint to a jollity! Where as many J-rock shows will use screens of music visualizers to engross, Takahiroki will use the crowd by galvanizing them raise their signature rainbow towels or make explosive call-outs towards the flames of reality. Where many will use subdued dance to party, Takahiroki will chit-chat about food and females as they swing their limbs like spinning amusement park rides or dress as bartenders and drink . Though all rock shows are have their unique tricks and spirit, it’s nice to see it super shaken up also… I introduce these two for good reason! It’s background for what’s feautured in the niconico livestream! The band Wasureranneyo! That Shibata is on vocals and guitar, that Hiroki is on main guitar, our ygarshy is on bass, and Takayuki Tomita is on drums! Tomita is from a band called THE LOVE NINGEN, whom I’m not sure how came into relation with Shibata, but Wasurerannee yo is constantly borrowing members to fill it’s blanks due to . ygarshy has been consistent for more than half a year now! Hiroki also bounces in whenever he can an ex. Wasurerannee yo member once filled in for Love Ningen. They themselves most likely meet at festivals like this! Where similar bands get together under a sonic medium and spend the crepuscle ball. But I’m going back to ygarshy! Him! His performance is a spotlight!

the important part     THE SHOW    highlights 

Wasureraneeyo start at 1:27:28, end at 1:58:39. You can manually copy-paste, and it’s a whole 30 minutes action-packed. There's about 48 hours before a the single watch instance will expire, but it's possible to close the window and come back anytime between then.

The first 5+ minutes are rehearsal, they’re muted to give the live-goers an extra extra incentive. It’s still worth a peak to see how musicians will stroll as they test. They played their theme song and also a cover of Alexandros’ Wataridori there’s nothing worth hearing anyway right (*wails).

The rest is 100% worth the buck!  ●Shibata starts off by whimpering over an urge he needs to burst out, he needs everybody to cheer him on. When he Says “Miyamoto - Ryou!”, you have to shout “You can do it!” Note: Miyamoto and Ryou are a comedian duo, who just days ago were revealed to the victims of a corrupted corporation, who was holding absolute control over them. People have cheering for them to win better circumstances in the case. Yet the apologies and the press conferences have been fantasy football battles.... Ugh... It's a riot for sure though! Official news reports are here or here or etc. ●He gets everyone to wiggle their arms 90° angles above their heads “like we’ve gone crazy!” and shout a nonsensical “Yossoi hoi hoi!” chant! With the heat as the beat! yga just plays bass! ●He makes noise for his mom, multiple times throughout! His T-shirt even has his mom on it! Specifically a picture of 2 year old himself being embraced by his mother printed on it, with the word “Mother” metallically written on the back… Source from his past diary entry of him expressing his maternal love. I can’t believe this ygarshy no wonder you can’t help but smile a lot during these shows. ●He complains about the shitty time he “went out drinking when he two cute girls walked through the door in, ‘Oh, oh, oh!’ he thought, only for them to start chit-chatting about how small their boyfriend’s dicks are! What kind of damnation is this bullshit!” ●The lyrics are about that stuff anyway!! ●There’s also a special appearance from Kanata Takehiro, the vocalist of LEGO BIG MORL. Shibata bitches at him mid-solo because “Fuck you! All the girls are staring at you now damn it!” *He is actually popular in the band due to being good and cooking and math and being an overall goofball behind the gallantries. The original of Odore Hikikomori features Hiroki and Sekihan, of Happy Head NANIYORI also he was in the niconico scene a long time ago, both dressed in clothes that you may find very unlikely but 100% plausible. ●ygarshy smiles and then recalibrates his hair over his eyes to look like a dark souls boss faceless again. He holds his bass with the neck upwards, he’s reviving his high school orchestra club bass playing sensibility. Virtuoso. The high tempo of Wasureraneeyo’s songs is definitely on par with Hitorie’s, Rie's irregular metres, swapping, interchanging and 456 metres are monstrous, but the sheer volume of tutti and strumming in Wasure’s punk songs seems to be something else as well…! yganbare!! ●Also don’t worry about those missed minutes because Shibata crowd-surfs again. This time with cash in his hand a mission! Saying “I’m glad to be here! Take me to the cute beer darling!”, as he is driven by the hands of the compliantly ecstatic crowd towards a staff member waiting in the middle of the crowd, holding up your average beer! Shibata trades the cash for the cup, he orders everyone to gather under him, “I can’t stand up if you’re pushing my ass! Oh now I can thank you”, and at last he gains the support to stand up! On top of a crowd for God's sake he rises. To glug the beer like a food chain top predator of the wild. Then to slide back to stage while crying for his mom again.

●Hiroki physically shoves ygarshy around while they have the stage to themselves. Ahh how the tables turn, the kicker to the pushee. ●In his black robes ygarshy is just such a trance to witness play throughout… It’s really great in motion and as a whole I love dirty rock concerts. Music has to be heard, my lumberous lumpy text can’t convey those sound waves… So give it a watch if you may have free time to do so! Only if you can please!  Source for comments and some info: https://skream.jp/feature/2019/06/muro_festival_2019.php  More photos and videos can be found on their official twitter!

↳  positive/negative traits

+ kind, passionate, driven -  anxious, awkward, dependent

↳  likes/dislikes

+ classical music, pastel colors, stick-and-poke tattoos, milk tea -  automatic flushing toilets, soda, the word “panties” 

↳  other

birthday: september 1st, 1997 sun sign: virgo

you can call her amy, mel, lia, may. pick your poison.

amelia grew up right across from daisey in ashmont, connecticut and the rest is history.

the only child of two famous, renowned surgeons, who try to support their daughters’ dreams even though they’d much rather her get a medical degree. 

if you grew up around daisey you probably noticed amelia in her shadow, always hanging around at first because of them carpooling, and then it turned into a convenient friendship that sometimes daisey was too cool for. 

amelia decided she wanted to play the piano when she was six, and when she began to accel at it she decided to pick up the violin as well. 

she can play both but she likes the violin a whole lot more since she can carry it around.

she plays percussion in band so catch her playing some sick ass triangle and marimba at your football games, fam.

she’s very socially awkward and any attempts to flirt with her will probably be met with fidgeting and stuttering and serious foot-in-mouth syndrome. 

if you knew amelia it’s probably more because she was daisey’s friend than anything else. amelia’s pretty hard to pull off the wall; hard to get her earphones out of her ears and her hands out of a book of sheet music.

difficult to get to a party in the first place. she’d much rather practice or be locked up watching amadeus or something like that. 

she’s pretty sweet though you’ve just got to make your way under the awkwardness, which is. hm. HM. 

her parents being gone all of the time meant she was either home alone or across the street at the rutherford’s place, biking down their long drive or doing fashion shows in the backyard. 

amelia loves her parents but love is ?? to her because they were always absent and leaving her to kind of fend for herself. 

that being said, if you need a good ass meal come to amelia because she had to learn how to cook for herself when none of her parent’s cooks were home, and considering amelia stayed up practicing until late hours, that was pretty often. 

daisey actually didn’t treat her like too much of a monster but there was some emotional manipulation there that amelia is kinda blind to. and someone probably told her and she probably was just like “i don’t see it” because she just didn’t get it. 

she took ballet for a hot minute because her mom thought she might like it since she was into classical music and stuff. amelia kept with it until she was fifteen and then decided that was enough for her. she’d rather play the music than dance to it. 

she has way too many trophies and ribbons and certificates. 

her room probably has dead composer busts on each available surface so hope that doesn’t freak you out or anything

won’t leave without a pair of headphones. becomes incapacitated. if you do catch her outside without headphones be concerned.

if you need a music recommendation she’s got you. just don’t ask if you don’t have like two hours to spare.

she’s never had a boyfriend or girlfriend before and it’s very obvious (i don’t even think amelia has thought about her own sexuality so that’s something lmao) 

kind of a basic nerd; loves bubble tea, pokemon, anything cute like puppies but especially kittens, the color pink. 

she has a cat named shostakovich and that’s probably all you need to know about her. she wants to adopt another and name him beethoven but we’re working on it. 

wanted connections: 

do you wanna do the damn shameless thing and be amelia’s josh or peter kavinsky? call me. lmfao 

please tutor her she’s so stupid at everything but music oh my god 

speaking of pay her $250 a month for piano or violin lessons because she’s certified to teach or she’ll like. take off a rate for tutoring her in exchange lol

you can force her to the gym to be your workout buddy because otherwise she’s not moving

idk if you’ve got gears churnin’ lemme know~ we can brainstorm

feel free to like or just straight up hmu to plot~ <3

A dozen scientists and their curious hobbies

ALFRED LÓPEZ FEBRUARY 06, 2016

There are many occasions when, depending on what type of professional it is, we have stereotyped certain people and we assign them (perhaps involuntarily) certain cliches. One of these groups is that of scientists, who are often considered serious types, dressed in a white coat, put in a laboratory all day and always thinking about their research and discoveries.

But really scientists are not like that (or at least most of them) and throughout history, there have been a handful who have been famous and famous figures of science but who have also known how to have a great time thanks to their curious hobbies.

Below you have a dozen examples (you will see that they are all male scientists, but don't worry, I am preparing the next post with the curious hobbies of female scientists ).

Albert Einstein, between the violin and women

Undoubtedly, the father's best-known hobby of relativity theory was music and his passion for playing the violin. From a very young age, he was very attracted to the violin, taking private lessons and once throwing a chair against his teacher, because he did not see that he did not advance as he wanted.

But there is another hobby that marked the life of the genius of German origin: his weakness for women. He liked them all and whenever he had the opportunity he tried to seduce some. Its characteristic somewhat scruffy image, coupled with its great intellect made it give off a great attraction to women, a fact that the physicist knew how to take advantage of on countless occasions.

He had romances with a large number of women, including practically all the secretaries of Kaiser Wilhelm II. This hobby led him to divorce Mileva, his first wife.

An anecdotal fact about Einstein, before he married a second time, was when he was strongly attracted to Ilse, the daughter of his fiancé Elsa. The young woman, who was 22 at the time, wrote a note to a friend in which she told him:

"Yesterday the question suddenly arose about who Albert should marry, whether it was me or my mom. "

John von Neumann with his wife Clara

John von Neumann, the king of the party

Known for being one of the most brilliant mathematicians of the modern era, von Neumann was a great lover of parties and social gatherings. His image as a serious man and dressed in his elegant gray suits were far from the funniest face he offered to his guests.

He was a great enthusiast of ancient and medieval history, as well as everything related to the Roman Empire. It was frequent to see him do a fun exercise with his wife Clara, in which one of his guests chose a page at random from the extensive library that the mathematician owned and he was able to recite the text from the indicated line by heart.

Many were the weeks in which two parties were held in the house that the von Neumann couple owned in Princeton, where John was in his sauce being a perfect host and entertaining those present with a good number of green or Jewish jokes.

 Edwin Hubble with his fellow college basketball team in 1909

Edwin Hubble, a prominent amateur athlete

Hubble has been one of the most important astronomers of the 20th century and is considered the father of observational cosmology. From an early age, he had always been a good student and he combined his studies with the reading of adventure novels by Jules Verne and H. Rider Haggard.

But his true passion during his college years was sports. Receiving the occasional special mention in disciplines as disparate as athletics, basketball or boxing, and it was in the latter that he stood out the most, so much so that he was proposed to be a professional and face the then world heavyweight champion, Jack Johnson,

But Hubble knew of its potential for astronomy and decided to reject the offer and accept the important Rhodes scholarship that he was awarded to study at Oxford. Who knows if, if his decision had been reversed, now the books would speak of Edwin Hubble as a major boxer, world heavyweight champion and astronomy would have lost his important and decisive contributions.

    A bodybuilder named Santiago Ramón y Cajal

Santiago Ramón y Cajal and bodybuilding

The multiple photographs of an adult Ramón y Cajal show him as a thin man, somewhat skinny and somewhat stooped, due to the posture acquired after spending a long time under a microscope.

The winner of the Nobel Prize for Medicine in 1906, he had spent part of his youth surrounded by fights and bets with his spree comrades. On one occasion, while still a student, he lost a pulse with a friend. This hurt his pride and he decided to go to train in a gym. He agreed to teach the owner anatomy classes in exchange for physical training.

His progress in the gym, added to the strong fondness he took for bodybuilding was such that he came to describe himself as:

"Back width, with monstrous pecs, my chest circumference exceeded 112 centimeters, and when walking showed that inelegance and rhythmic contour characteristic of the strong or Hercules de Feria"

Harald Bohr on the Danish Olympic Football Team

Niels and Harald Bohr, passion for balls and gunmen

Brothers Niels and Harald Bohr shared a passion in their native Denmark: soccer. The two players, as students, on the Akademisk Boldklub team in Copenhagen. Niels did it as a goalkeeper and Harald was a scorer, the latter participating in the 1908 Olympics representing the Danish team and with which he won the silver medal.

The day Harald defended his doctoral thesis in the auditorium, more soccer fans than mathematicians were found.

For his part, it is said that the physicist and Nobel Prize winner, Niels Bohr was a great enthusiast of western films. He frequently interrupted his work in the library to go watch a cowboy film. He used to do it accompanied by a couple of students, with whom he talked about the complicated plots found in these films.

Bohr had developed a theory in which he explained "why even though the villain always draws first, the hero is faster and manages to kill him. " And he managed to demonstrate it in one of his classes in which they simulated the typical duels of the old west and, with two toy revolvers and their corresponding cartridge cases, he played the role of hero, being much faster in drawing and shooting than all his students.

Illustration of the William and Caroline Herschel telescope

William Herschel, a virtuoso musician

This is a curious case in which we find that the hobby became the profession, while the profession became the hobby. I am referring to the German astronomer and discoverer of the planet Uranus William Herschel, who discovered his passion for music rather than for heaven.

Herschel had an important musical training, being, along with his father and brother, a member of the band of the Army Infantry Guards Regiment. His bad experience at the Battle of Hastenbeck led him to move to England, where he continued his musical studies and worked as a teacher.

Later he would go on to direct the orchestra in Bath, in which his sister Caroline was a soprano. In their spare time, they began to observe the sky and the stars, becoming increasingly fond of it. One day he bought a book entitled "Astronomy" that would completely change his life.

William and his sister built their own telescope with which they observed the sky, making great contributions to astronomy. Until he dedicated himself professionally to astronomy, he was combining this hobby with his work as a conductor, taking advantage of the breaks of the intermission to go out and observe the sky.

Eusapia Paladino spiritist session held at Camille Flammarion's house

Scientists passionate about parapsychology and the paranormal

Charles Robert Richet, who in 1913 would receive the Nobel Prize in Medicine, was an enthusiastic and passionate lover of parapsychology, at the time known as " met a psychic ", making important contributions to this field and eventually chairing the Society for Psychical Research (Society for Psychic Research). He brought metapsychics to life as a purported science that studied all phenomena that find no normal explanation.

William Crookes, inventor of a good number of gadgets, which would facilitate the work of countless scientists, among which are the radiometer and the Crookes tube (for the study of the properties of cathode rays) was an ardent supporter and defender of the spiritism and one of the pioneers in the investigation of psychic phenomena, especially in the areas of materialization and mediumship

Another passionate about pseudosciences was the French astronomer Camille Flammarion who felt a deep admiration for everything related to spiritualist doctrine, which led him to have a deep and great friendship with Allan Kardec, considered to be the father of spiritualism and with, the supposed medium, Eusapia Paladino, holding spiritualist sessions in her own home.

          Feynman in a topless bar

Unbridled passion for women

This post began with Albert Einstein's fondness for the violin and women and I dedicate the last part of this entry to these, due to the large number of scientists who have had the greatest of their hobbies.

Erwin Schrödinger had a weakness for all women, including his wife Anne Marie, and this corresponded to her love for him, allowing her to have as many lovers as she wanted, being complicit in her love affairs and taking care of 'dispatching' the mistress on duty when her husband got tired.

Much has been speculated about the identity of the mistress who was in a hotel next to Schrödinger at the time when he deduced his famous formula.

Richard Feynman, one of the most important American physicists of the 20th century, had a great weakness for going to bars where there were topless ladies. The atmosphere of the place was ideal to find inspiration and after watching an entertaining coming and going of the young waitresses without bra, Feynman wrote reflections and equations on the napkins of the premises.

In the book on biographical anecdotes "Surely You're Joking, Mr. Feynman!" (Are you kidding me, Mr. Feynman?) He tells how he went to hostess rooms while his wife was sick in the hospital. But this was not the only hobby of the physicist since he had an amazing ability to open safes.

During his stay in Los Alamos, during the Manhattan project, he used to open filing cabinets and safes in the dependencies to entertain himself in his moments of boredom, which caused him more than one problem.
