EP.194 - Let’s talk about Loulou*di's sorrowful and dark CD "DÈJÁ VU"
In "DÉJÀ VU", the group outdoes itself yet again.
This is a release that, in comparison to previous ones - and without checking the drama tracks - is brighter in comparison with the pure darkness of "ARK" or "NOTHING".
This brightness however is only apparent. Words contradict instrumentals, there are underlying tones going on, especially in "Invisible Cross", that hint at destruction and sorrow, and "Another Liar" may seem like an interesting iteration to R&B but it is still quite dark.
Darkness, beautiful darkness is something that Loulou*di has excelled in and continues to show their cards in. When you listen to this album, you will have an uncanny feeling of having listened to these stories and feelings before however, you never did. Loulou*di did take you on an awesome journey with "DÈJÁ VU", the best CD Loulou*di has released so far.
In this unscripted episode, you and I will revisit - or visit, if it is your first time - this outstanding album.

EP.191 - Is TRD's disbandment the start of the end for seiyuu units?
Once one of the most innovative and pioneering male seiyuu units in the industry, TRD (from 2012 up until 2020 was called D.A.T) now bids goodbye to their fans.
The duo announced the release of their 1st album as well as their disbandment effective immediately after June 2024.
After this news hit the industry, and seeing how many seiyuu units have disbanded in the past couple of years, is the end of this pioneering seiyuu unit, the end of an era for seiyuu units?
Let's talk about that and the reasons behind the sudden disappearance of many seiyuu units in recent years in this episode of SEIYUU LOUNGE.

EP.190 - Music Reviewing Mindset: Technicality Allied to Active Listening
Music reviewing is not easy but, by the end of the day, its complexity is complemented by the fun you can have reviewing music itself. And this is why I love reviewing music (Also, I geek a lot about music itself so it was bound to happen 😂).
I've been doing this for 14 years (since 2010) and almost since the start I've focused on showcasing the good and the "bad" in music from a constructive lens.
In this episode - an offcut from the November 2023 episode of MONTHLY REVIEW, I talk more about how I approach music to review, what has helped me instantly notice things in the compositions, how stories will resonate with me when I've never listened to drama tracks or know about a project's lore, why active listening is essential (and how it can be trained) as well as how I deal with fanbase "gatekeepers"/people complaining me not having the same opinion as theirs. (Hint: opinions are subjective so...)
I hope this behind-the-scenes look at how I review music is interesting. Feel free to leave any questions you may have about this!
And remember, negative comments, personal attacks, and the sort earn you what? A ban. This is a place for positivity and constructive feedback. It's okay not to enjoy someone else's content/way of work. But it's not okay to be toxic.

EP.189 - Let’s talk about Kent Ito’s “Hanabi”
Kent Ito’s “Hanabi” arrived in 2023 to share with us all top-quality quality citypop music with awesome vibes.
Ito’s music feels cozy and warm at all times while being really serious about its quality and performances.
This EP has the perfect balance between a quality singer wanting to create music - that not only is unique and stylish but that also entertains his fans in unexpected ways.
There is nostalgia but also a happy, warm feeling coming off from his music, and that, I believe, makes him unique in the seiyuu artist’s landscape.
In this unscripted episode, you and I dive into Kent Ito's mesmerizing 1st EP "Hanabi".
