susan tagged me for my 5 favorite or best songs. ok. i'll do songs by artists that i never talk about on here so i can defeat the "listening to music for the boys who sing it" allegations

BOMBS OVER BAGHDAD. now this one... is by outkast, which you know. i do think this is the best song ever crafted.

donna summer - i feel love. this is not a song i have even been listening to lately but just thinking about it is enough to send me to heaven

○ by boredoms. this is like the best intro to any album ever, this whole album is good but i do think this track is the best thing about it.

buffalo daughter - autobacs. i found out about this song because it samples gregg turkington's prank call and is mostly a crazy synth over it. i love this song. it's very punchy. the whole album its from is great but whenever this song comes up i never get tired of it

comus - diana. i do think comus is a great band a lot of people should be listening to and this song is a concise encapsulation of their spirit. they only released one album that you should look at which is self titled. i've never been one to like, willingly check out prog. but this is a great folk prog album.

i will be tagging @whompthatsucker1981 @shinolavolume1 @scissorsisters due to their joint musical natures, and @t-800 @nothingstudios seeing as i know them. anyone else can do this no matter the time and place. if you CAN THINK OF IT, it exists somewhere.

KOKIA in flashback - 2003

It is KOKIA's 5th anniversary in 2003, and she gets busy this year! She releases the singles Kawaranai koto ~since 1976~ ('things that won't change'), with the year referring to her own year of birth, and The Power of Smile/Remember the kiss. The latter remains one of her best-selling singles ever, and both single A-sides are used for commercials and TV programs, boosting their fame. Kawaranai koto ~since 1976~ features in the Fuji TV drama series Itoshiki no mono e ('to those I love') as its theme song, and The Power of Smile makes a splash on the music TV show Music Station. These land her many performances that year.

The title tracks of the singles end up on KOKIA's third album, Remember me, which releases late 2003 and breaks into the Oricon charts top 20. She tours to promote the album with her first concert tour, Remember me ~watashi wa koko ni iru yo~ ('I am here').

The Essential Role of Vehicle Headlights

AUTOBACS

Welcome to AutobacsIndia.com’s extensive guide on vehicle headlights. Far more than just sources of illumination, headlights are vital for safety, communication, and aesthetics in driving. This guide is tailored for car enthusiasts who value every detail of their vehicles, from functionality to style.

The Multifaceted Functions of Vehicle Headlights

Safety: Ensuring Visibility and Protection

Headlights, the first line of defense against low visibility, play a critical role in ensuring safe journeys. Proper usage, regular maintenance, and timely upgrades are key to maximizing their effectiveness, aiding in the detection of obstacles and ensuring road safety.

Signaling: The Language of Lights on the Road

Beyond mere illumination, headlights are crucial for communication with other drivers. The appropriate use of high and low beams is essential for conveying intentions and maintaining safety on the road.

Aesthetics: Defining Your Car’s Visual Identity

The design of headlights significantly influences a vehicle’s aesthetic appeal. With a variety of customization options available, headlights can be tailored to enhance your car’s style and reflect your personal taste.

Exploring the Types of Vehicle Headlights

Halogen Headlights: The Traditional Choice

Technology: Electric current through a tungsten filament in a halogen gas-filled bulb.

Pros and Cons: Affordable and easily replaceable, but less energy-efficient with a shorter lifespan.

Xenon (HID) Headlights: The Bright Revolution

Technology: High-voltage electrical current ignites xenon gas, creating a bright arc of light.

Pros and Cons: Provides wider road coverage and a longer lifespan but with a higher cost and potential glare issues.

LED Headlights: Efficiency Meets Innovation

Technology: Semiconductors convert electricity into light, offering efficient, bright, and durable lighting.

Pros and Cons: Features low power consumption and longevity but comes with a higher initial cost and complex cooling requirements.

Laser Headlights: The Cutting-Edge Future

Technology: Laser diodes stimulate phosphorus to produce intense light, which is then converted for safe road use.

Pros and Cons: Offers unmatched brightness and range but is expensive and mostly limited to premium models.

Deep Dive into Headlight Bulb Technology

Halogen Bulbs

Operation: Incandescence within a glass bulb containing halogen gas.

Common Applications: Standard in budget and regular model vehicles; easy to replace.

Xenon Bulbs

Working Principle: Electrical discharge in xenon gas produces bright light.

Advantages: Greater luminosity and extended lifespan.

Disadvantages: Higher cost and required warm-up period.

LED Bulbs

Technological Overview: Electroluminescence in semiconductor material.

Efficiency and Longevity: Consumes significantly less power and is highly durable.

Laser Diodes

Cutting-Edge Technology: Laser activation of phosphorus for intense illumination.

Benefits and Challenges: Provides exceptional brightness and efficiency but is costly and mainly for luxury segments.

Conclusion: Making an Informed Choice for Your Vehicle

Whether it’s halogen’s familiarity, HID’s brightness, LED’s efficiency, or laser’s innovation, each headlight type offers unique benefits. The right choice depends on your performance needs, aesthetic preferences, and budget. Upgrading your headlights is a statement about your car’s personality as much as a practical decision.

Discover our comprehensive range of headlights and elevate your driving experience with the perfect match for your car.

June 16th-- Arashiyama Bamboo Forest

Here it is, the moment everyone has been waiting for. the Arashiyama Bamboo Forest. You see it on Instagram, and you hear it from others, this place is one of those big spots that people need to hit when you are in Japan. In my honest opinion, the only thing I can confirm was the attendance. So many people here at this place, it was honestly not that great just because it felt so touristy like Disney. Having to navigate through the crowds and match pace with people sucks in all honestly. When you go to the forest, any nature attraction as a matter of fact, you expect to be met with the sounds of birds, and the tranquility of the woods, but not here. There was a shrine there that was supposed to help you with romance if I remember correctly. I didn't spend much time in there, I'm 19 and clueless so I have no business with that kami. We continued on and went to go have lunch in a gorgeous river town. I liked this place way more than the forest. It had great views of both the water and mountains, there were people on boats, and there was plenty of food. Paradise! I sat around after eating some fried food and listened to some music before gearing up to head to the monkey park with my group. It was a little bit of a climb, but at the top was a spectacular view of Kyoto. It's safe to say it was the nicest view competing closely with the Skytree and the Mt Takao views. As for the monkeys, they were more aggressive with each other than they were with us. They simply walked about, scratching at the ground and lounging around. I don't blame them, it was pretty nice up there and it doesn't take an ape to see that. Afterward, I made my way down the mountain to head over to A pit Autobacs. Remember that place in Odiaba where they had all those brand-new aftermarket car parts? This one was even nicer and had actual cars for sale too. Not just that, but they let you sit in them too. Best believe I took the opportunity, on this say in Kyoto Japan, I got to sit in my dream car for the first time ever. The mk5 Toyota Supra. I was ecstatic, it was just as nice as I expected, and fit me like a glove. I can't even imagine how well it drives and how fast it is. I won't bore you with facts or details, so I'll segway into the academic part now.

In the readings, it spoke about how land is managed in Japan, particularly Arashiyama was mentioned too. What surprised me is that many of Japan's natural parks and preserves are deliberately set up for scenic views and erosion management. Just as they plan their cities closely and with great care, their natural spaces are set up with the same level of care and deliberate action. If we ever need to start life on a new planet, I'm asking the Japanese to set it up. They'll find a way to even make Mars red rock look pretty.
