The Winter Semester is coming to a close

Finally, the winter semester is coming to a close and I'm actually quite happy because except for one exam I made them all!I'm actually really proud of myself as I finally was able to show not only me but my aunt that I CAN!!! do it if I like. YAY!

Unfortunately that won't help in the long run. Oh well. I'm currently attending another course in Historical Media where we're going to write a Social Biography about a prominent journalist in the Austrian media scene.
I'm not completely sure about who my group is writing about but we'll find out later today.
After that course I'm still missing some other exams but I'll have to be done with all of them till October to get my degree.


GANBARIMASU!

A Message from Mognet!

I totally forgot to share this with you!

Stiltzkin, Kumama and I have been exchanging e-mails over the last few weeks. This is what Stiltzkin wrote to me last week.

Renovations are actually coming to a close (thank god). We're thinking
there's about 1 week, maybe 2 at most left before they are completely
done. We've actually already began moving our furniture back in, so we
should have at most 2 more weeks of hard work, then we can start
returning our "normal" lives! So yes, we'll be able to look at QCs and
such pretty soon, I think! Believe me, I'm looking forward to getting
back to it.

Anyway, we'll keep in touch, and I promise you this stuff will all be
over soon, and we'll be coming back to Mognet :) I appreciate all of
your efforts to keep everyone else positive, because we really have no
intentions of leaving!


So, probably just another week and we'll be back!! YES!

Spring-cleaning!!

Time for some spring-cleaning!
I cleaned up the blog. Deleted some things and changes the labels. I thought it prudent to do so, as I had a lot of labels I wasn't even using anymore. I also deleted the German Lables I had in my list. Since I'm writing in english I don't need them anymore.

The biggest change was that I deleted all the author names. Everything that has to do with authors switched to the category "books".
I also did some cleaning up with the links I had on this page. A lot of those pages weren't available anymore so I deleted them.
I'll probably add new links over the next few weeks as I found funny new sides I'd like to share.

Anyway!
Did you also start on a little spring-cleaning?!

He shall survive!

And he shall come, the One, that will change the future of Askaloth. He will kill the darkness and help the light to find its way into our hearts.

Or so a friend told me when I said I'd be playing WoW come February.
HAHA!

Good morning, folks!
It's early morning here and I've actually been up since around 4 am. It's currently 5:40 am, so actually still way too early to stand up. unfortunately I couldn't sleep anymore so I've been playing WoW since I woke up.
Funny game though I have to say that I like the visual aspects of Runes of Magic a little more. More detail, more styling possibilities.
Anyway. I won't condem WoW as of right now. It is fun, though playing along in the middle of the morning is kinda boring. The streets are deserted as are all the lvl areas. If someone is looking for something it's probably a healer, which I'm not, at least, not really.

Yesterday I started to play a Paladin Blood Elve. Interesting to play and totally diffrent than priests - which is the class I normally prefer to play.
I thought I should try something new for a change and well, I don't regret it.I named her Milgread for whatever reason and she's currently handling a two-hand sword. I'm still in and around Silvermoon City. Soon I'll have finished all the open quests and can move on to another region.The scenery is quite beautiful. Lots of autumn colors and trees. I also love the music there. It sounds very calming.

Oh well. You games out there probably know what I mean.
Too bad there aren't any other beautiful races on the side of the Horde.
Oh well!
Time to game some more before I have to got to classes again - yes, on Sunday. It's so unfair but quite interesting so I'll bear with it!

See ya around!

Shiny, shiny, little star..

As you can probably guess, yes, this is another new Release.
I'm finally back on track and ready to rumble again.

I'll try to get all the old stuff out since we'll try to work on new H!P stuff soon.
Here's our latest release - released somewhen yesterday.

The effect idea came pretty quick, as I wanted to do something with shining letters. Also some kirakira stars can't be missed with all that glittering background light.
I hope you'll enjoy it.

FOREVER LOVE

Time for some new releases, right?
Yesterday, in a mad dash to get something done, I finished the latest Single-PV by °C-ute "FOREVER LOVE".
I had this really nifty idea and it turned out great for this vid.
If you have to ask where I got the colors from (?) wait for the close-ups;
and yes, the squares are because of the floor!!!

;) SC needed some time figuring THAT out *laugh*

I hope you'll enjoy this song and release.

It will be available sometime tomorrow morning on the Tracker of Hello!Online.

Osashiburi!

Long time no read?!

Sorry, but I've kinda been busy. I had to work on some emergency karaoke works which I'll tell you more about at a later opportunity.
Today I'm just going to post something about my latest free time consuming "thing".
I'm currently totally submerged in a new MMORPG Game that startet at the beginning of january.
It plays a lot like WoW and is totally addicting - at least for me.
I always had trouble with games I grew addicted to.
I hope this won't cause too much trouble for me.
Anyway - here are some pics.
see ya soon!

5. Januar 2009

Back home!

Just to let everyone know, I'm finally back at my own home and it's finally getting warm in here.
I tell you what - 2 weeks of no heating in here. the walls were cold. it took me 5 hours to get them to warm up
I'm just happy it's finally a little warmer in here.

Now I'm going to work on some more fx'es.

Good news too - I've been working on 10 new PVs while I was away. :) Hopefully we'll bring them to you soon within the next few months!

Happy New Year!!!



I wish everyone a Happy New Year!
Have you all your New Year pledges done? Great!
I wish you all good health, unending patience and the best of luck!!

Cheers!

New Section opened at Mognet

Let's keep the holiday season going! Hey, if the retailers insist on still playing irritating Christmas carols until New Years then we can release a holiday song today! No one argues with extra presents a bit late, now do they? This also serves as the landmark first release in our "Concerts" section! Hope you enjoy this and the releases to come!

I'm happy to announce these great News and present you the first video in our new section.
Since I'm a big fan of ELLEGARDEN I really wanted to do one of their songs, so here it is:
ELLEGARDEN - Santa Claus from their Bring Your Board!! 2004 tour.ELLEGARDEN was a J-Punk band that unfortunately decided to break up earlier this year. I'm still devestated about this news as I was really fond of them and have several Album CDs at home.
Please enjoy this little something from one of my favourite bands.

Stars...

It's so beautiful!

Three days have passed since my last entry. I cooled down a little, talked with my aunt and also talked with SC today. *sigh* We can't change what happend but I hope it's not going to happen again. We agreed to ask before doing something as stupid again in the future. It'll keep things from getting out of hand.
I apologize if I sounded a little dramatic, but I was really pissed at that moment.

Anyway. I'm currently sitting in my grandmothers creative room and staring out of the overhead window, which grants me a lovely sight of the starlit night sky. We've got all these tiny little stars here, that I can't see well in the big city (namely, Vienna) whith all it's lights on during the night.
I really love nights like these. It's freezing cold out there (we're currently at a -10°C scale) and my glasses are fogging with cold quite easily so I'm really enjoying sitting here in the dark room, keyboard on my knees, feet up on another chair and staring out the window wile writing this entry.
It's one of my greatest wishes to one time have a room similiar to this, with wide open windows from where I can star into the night. My own little paradise.
Unfortunately I can't post a pic of this, as it's black outside and I don't have a camera here who could possibly make a picture of this lovely scenery at night.

Did I already say I love this place? Well, it's definitly true!!!!
*sigh*

So, how is everyone. Are you already making New Year's pledges? Hmm, I don't even know if that's a common costum. I refrained from doing any the past years, but I will do some this year. I decided that while talking to my aunt two days ago.

Let's see...
1. is definitly to finish up my bachelor degree this summer.
2. to start my masters in publizism and mass communication in march.
3. to start another bachlor - most likely one in english to get a degree which will help me later on and probably one in literature.
4. to get things straightened out at the university and with my finances
5. to find a student job to help support me and save money to move to america.
6. to apply for a green card.
7. to finish writing on my first book (I'm halfway through!)


well, wow. that's a long list.
I'm actually quite happy that I don't have to put something like "I want to stop smoking" or "I want to stop drinking" on my list. What I probably should put on my list is to loose some weight, but that would be something I needed to do over some years, so I'm not going to put it on the list but just start doing it.

Let's hope I'll be able to achieve most of these things. I think I can make it!
Okay, time for shutting down this comp and do some more reading.
Have a nice evening everyone!

Not Amusing At All

Well, I certainly just got a message that I found not amusing at all. I've been away from home for about 6 days now and I was able to check on my emails nearly every day but today I got really surprised when I checked out the H!F forums.
Amazingly they released one of the videos I was assigned too and - well, you could guess this - I haven't sent in my effects yet. The video is nearly done and on my HD right now but - it's really amazing - it's been released!!!!
This is the second time something like this happend, and I wasn't even asked if it would be okay if someone else took over the project.

Well, now, boys, you have to understand this is not amusing at all. I'm actually quite pissed and you just blew my good humor to the winds. I actually feel like quitting the group, because this video meant a lot to me and I was looking forward to show you the effects when I came back home in less than 2 weeks. I'm not quite sure how to proceed right now and I'm actually glad that I'm about to go to bed, so I don't do anything harsh and stupid, like to really quit (because this groups actually means a lot to me, or meant. I'm still debating the notion.).

But just think about this. I totally blew at least 2 exams because I was working my ass of for your last spree and now you're jumping at my back. I really lack adequate words to express to you what I really think this moment.

I'm going to bed.
night.

Christmas Day

Hello there!
I'm currently on the notebook from my aunt. She has a great internet connection on it which allows me to post some pictures! YAAAY~

How is everybody doing? I hope you all had a greast Christmas Eve with your family and loved ones?!
Well, I had. We have somewhat of a routine already. I'm decorating the tree while my grandfather is in church and my grandma and aunt are cooking your dinner.
When I'm done we all change into nice clothes and tidy up and wait till my grandfather comes back.
After that we have dinner (this years version of it was beef with venion meat sauce, potato dumplings and red cabbage) and coffee. After that we all venture to the tree, say a prayer to the lord and thank you for everything everyone did for someone or all of us this past year. After that some kisses and hugs as well as nice words and we all go back to the kitchen were we open our presents.

This years presents were exiting! I got a kimono-blouse I wanted to have and nice warm socks to run around in my flat from my grandparents and my aunt's present was a new "red" toaster, as my old one broke down half a year ago.
I bought my grandparents an expensive soap dispenser in which I hid 100 Euro for their new bath (they're going to renovate in spring). My aunt got two musical tickets for "mama mia - the musical" in january for us both. Naturally she already knew about that one, as I had to double check if she even had time on the day the musical was playing. She was really happy about those cards and is still totally excited about it. But since it's boring if you already know what you get I also hunted down a album CD from Marc Marshall, a great german artist with really meaningful and deep songs, and a Card in which I could hide the musical ticekts.
The card read "Liebe ist das Einzige, was nicht weniger wird, wenn man sie verschwendet." which roughly translates into "Love is the only thing that doesn't get less even if it's thrown away."
Great proverb indeed.

Well now.
Today it's snowing.
It's the second time it snows here, though we didn't have any snow on christmas yesterday which was too bad, but can't be helped. I'm just happy it's snowing today, as I really love to look out the windows, write on stories and watch the snow inbetween.
We will also get some guests today: my uncle with his wife and kid are coming over for lunch, presents and probably dinner. I'm not sure what is the best strategy - hide entirely on the attic and read book - which probably won't work as my cousin is really noise and loves to hunt me down - or pretend as if I really enjoy their company. It's just me that has some problems with them - okay, not really problems, it just feels awkward -, but that's another and way too personal story to tell here.
I'm probably opting for the "pretend to enjoy the company" setting, as it's christmas day and it's nice to have family over (or so I heared).

Anyway. I'm currently hugging my stuffed orca which I dearly love and write this blog entry. I also listen to the stuff my family is talking about in the kitching under my room and I'm listening for any cars to show up. Maybe the snow gets too much? HAHA!
That would be the thing. *grin*

Anyway. Off I go.
Here is a picture from the snow last week.I'll post new ones as soon as we make some pics!!!
Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas!!!


Why so grumpy? It's Christmas Time!

Merry Christmas to all of you!
I hope you will enjoy your holidays with your beloved families and friends.
Great blessings to all of you and - because I most certainly won't be back before New Year - a happy NEW YEAR to all of you, too!!!!!!!!

Thanks for sharing my interests with me for over a year!!
Be sure to check out my blog next year too, as I'm certain I'm going to work on lots of new stuff!!

New Korean Releases!!

It's been a while since I worked on anything korean, but it's time to remedy this!

I've finally worked on new korean videos for my german group. But because this wouldn't be happening without the enourmous help of fellow fansubbers at BoAjjang I want to thank them from the depth of my heart for allowing me to join their group, sharing scripts with me and their time in sheer endless quality checks.
It's great to work with dedicated people, especially if you don't have anyone else to work with *laugh*
Anyway.
Since they made it possible we finished up two of my more loved korean pvs.

The first which will probably be released is the korean version of the DBSK song Rising Sun. For all who don't know DBSK is also known as TVXQ in korea. It's been nearly 2 years since we released the japanese version of this song. I'm glad to announce that we will also release the korean version soon.


The second video is one of my right now favorites. It's SHINee's Love like Oxygen. Please enjoy this eyecandy and sorry for the video quality. It's hard to get ahold of good korean rips.


Another video which has gone a long way to completition is this one. We actually worked on it more than 2 years, so please have mercy on the effects. I worked on them early on but we didn't get a decent raw and then we had other problems so it took us a really long time. I hope you will enjoy this anyway: Namie Amuro - Wishing on the same star


Well, Thanks! And have fun with these.
I'm not sure when they get released.
Please be sure to check out
www.boajjang.com too look up if it was released!

:D

New Release Spree!!!!

Well, again it has been some time.
Before I go on holidays starting tomorrow morning I thought I should share with you what I've been up to and what will be released in the next few days or weeks to come (or in some cases - past).

Let us do the Hello!Fansubs Releases first.

We actually never thought we'd see this DVD Raw anytime soon. The single didn't have a Single-V and we really were desparate as the single came out early this year. We agreed to not do the TV-Rip version as we only had really ugly ones and we hoped that this song was going to be on this years pucchi best. Meanwhile we released a concert performance of this song that was well recived. You can't imagine what a shock it was when we found out in late summer that it wasn't supposed to be on the pucchi best and we totally gave up on this, at least for the time being. Now december arrived and with it came the pucchi best 9 release and TADAAAAA the raw was on it! We really didn't believe it and within a day I fixed the effects to the DVD raw and it was released. Now what is it?

Yes, great guess. It's Athena & Robikerottsu - Seishun! LOVE Lunch!!!

Still in spirit of this success and SC nagging me to finish this song up because the new single of the same band was out, I finally finished up °C-ute's last single Edo no Temari Uta II. I'm not altogether happy with this but I've been working on this video since the single came out and I couldn't think of anything "amazing" that would fit, so we went along with the initial ideas and it turned out okay.

But we can't have a release spree without releasing at least one concert performance. I actually finished up two videos.
One was Yajima Maimi's Natsu DOKI Lipstick from the C-ute 07 Haru ~Golden Hatsu Date~ Concert. The other performance was a little older and one of my favorites. I still think it was one of the best performances of the whole concert tour, except for W's Nagisa no Sindbad. ^^ I'm talking about the Introduction Song Suki Sugite Baka Mitai, which everyone performed.
Great song!!!

:D hope you'll all enjoy these releases as much as we do releasing them.
Next up is something totally diffrent. Will talk about it when I come back from classes!
Laters!

Back on Track!

Hello Everybody!!
I'm officially back on track again and working hard to provide you with some new christmas releases (before I go into hiatus till january 6th).

We've got several new videos coming your way.
I'm also officially working for BoAjjang again.
Thanks to Alan who helped us get some things straight and programmed a tool for me I'm now able to work on korean videos.
YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY \o/
More exiting news about this will come at a later point.

Anyway! Just making sure you know that I'm back.
I'm active again and working hard to provide videos for several groups.
Let's just hope I'll be able to finish stuff for my own group too!?


On a short notice: Is there anybody who would like to try out working for me? I'm currently looking for Encoders for various groups.
Experience would be nice, also you'd need to be online every day and know how to encode XVID avi AND H264 mp4/mkv.
If you're interested please let me know...

^^ okay. that's it for today. see ya soon!

BAKK1 dekita!!!!! Mognet on hiatus... preparing for tests!

Hello everyone!
Okay, this is a short update on how things are going.
I finally finished my BAKK paper. I totaled it on 32 pages and a lot to still be desired. Given that I wrote 17 of the 32 pages in 14 hours straight, I'm quite impressed myself.
It was one of the hardest things I ever did, since I soon realized, that I was running into a great big bubble of information but no way out. I saw that I wouldn't be able to write it all down and break it up in different chapters.
I had to really cut it short, as I was running late and I had to try to get across what my paper was about. Since I am planning to re-use the paper and continue my research next semester, I wasn’t overly concerned about it.

In the end I went with really explicit descriptions of internet and internet communication. I also researched non-commercial and commercial communication and did a whole chapter on computer mediated communication. I skipped over the chapters of weblogs, MUDs and chats and wrote a small part of the paper about motivation and self-portraying.
I just hope that it’ll be positive. I don’t need anything else. We’ll see tomorrow!

Also on a short notice: Mognet is currently on hiatus.
I think I actually already wrote about it but just wanted to say again, that Kumama and Stiltzkin finally moved into their new home. They are currently renovating which is the reason we’re not really active.
We do hope that starting next year we’ll be up to our normal speed.
Let’s just hope everything goes as planned.

The shock of my life I probably had on Sunday. I was looking up my test notes and remembered that this week was exam week and I still had a few tests I wanted to make. So I hurried up and looked up the dates. As it was, all of my tests would have been on Monday, but given the rule that you had to be registered for the test two days before I was totally screwed!! In the end I couldn't participate in any tests. My last hopes are the tests at the end of January. Let's just hope that I don't forget about them again, though in the long run, with my paper having been due yesterday, I’m actually glad. The good thing is that I remembered that I still could write one of my political science tests which will now take place Friday next week. So I’m again not going to be around much. I actually already enrolled for it.

Please bear with these waits. I’ll be back, as will Mognet, as soon as things settle down.

Warm Greetings!

First Snow...

It's fucking snowing!!!!!!!!!!!
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH! First Snow. I really hate it. Really, really hate it!! I was wet from top to bottom.

Hello folks!
Long time no see - or something along that line. In the past few days I was really busy working on college stuff. I still am in the middle of work but I thought I just let you know that I'm still here, and still active.
In the last two weeks I wasn't able to finish any new projects which is the reason I haven't posted anything.
I've also been reading quite a lot for my papers.
Hopefully I'll be done soon and have some free time to work on karaoke stuff again.
Till then, I'm qutie sorry, but I probably won't write too much.

anyway! see ya~

11. November 2008

Flowing~

Latest Hello!Fansub release:
All - Ame no Furanai Hoshi de wa Aisenai Darou? from the H!P '08 Summer Wonderful Hearts Kouen ~Hishochi de Date Itashima Show~ concert.
We realle worked hard on this one. Thanks to sferris we were even able to do the chinese parts in this song. I'm particularly proud of the chorus and chinese line effect. it's basically a flowing \K effect which is racing along the line. But something you can't see is that it consists of tiny little circles that change color and grow smaller. It makes an eerie smoth effect. Really love it. I first wrote it as part of my latest Anime Karaoke-Work for a series called "Blade of the Immortal".
Anyway. I'm really proud of this effect so please enjoy.
This video is as always available through the Hello!Online Tracker.

3. November 2008

Inspector Pepper, at your service!

YAY! Finally I was able to finish this project off. SC wanted me to do anything for the weekend, as long as we get a PV out ... dou demo ii yo. Well, I settled for the latest release and the project where I was the farthest along, which was: Morning Musume - Pepper Keibu!
This awesome song is like a really old hit already. Most of you will probably know Pink Lady? Well, if not, please check them out. They were a really successful duo in the late 70ies throughout the 80ties and early 90ies. Anyway, this duo released a single called "Pepper Keibu" - which was their debut song, btw - on August 25th, 1976. Now, that's a real classic!
Takahashi Ai and Niigaki Risa (I think…) were both participating in the movie shot of the story of Pink Lady and the management decided to release a single - which was then "Pepper Keibu".
This song really was a lot of work. I hid 8 different effects in only 4 minutes and it works! Sorry for the big file sizes but the video itself has a lot of glitter and motion in it which is really bad for encoding purposes.
I still hope you will all enjoy this as much as we do.

Torrents are - as always - available on Hello!Online!

New Mognet Section...

Did you moogle fans already see our new and shiny section? NO?
Well, let me tell you about it.

We moogles at Mognet really adore our Anime Openings and Endings. Mostly we've been fans of those for quite some years now and everyone will remember how hard it is to find some really old Anime Opening and Ending Videos. Luckily you won't have to search too far now, because we moogles heared ya. Mognet presents his latest section: MogNAV, a section all about "creditless" Anime Openings and Endings.
We will try to release some videos from time to time. New ones and older ones. Some you'll know, and some might be new to you.
We really hope you'll enjoy this as much as we do, because, boy, we do enjoy Anime OPs & EDs.

MogNAV is already running for a few days so we can show you some of our works. You'll see we will have new ones pretty soon. As for now please enjoy the following Releases (which are the ones I did - but we have others released too):

Ranma OP#3 CoCo - Omoide ga Ippai
Jigoku Shoujo OP SNoW - Sakasama no Chou
Death Note ED#1 Nightmare - Alumina
Sola OP Yuuki Aira - Colorless Wind
Sola ED Ceui - Mellow Melody

Second Release Batch (Mognet)

Wow, well we had some really nice videos in the last batch, but honestly, it's getting better.

After that really funny Jero song we thought we do something for you girl band fans. We actually wanted to do something by that band anyway - it's just too bad that it's that particular song as the PV is really cheap. I still love it, even though the lyrics just don't make any sense at all. Well, here they are: Hinoi Team - Play with the numbers. I really had a lot of fun working on this as I was looking forward to work with random digits. I always wanted to try an effect like that, but honestly, how many songs do you know that let you play with numbers? Probably not a lot...
But we wouldn't be Mognet if we didn't try to also show you some classic artists, which is why we bring you our latest rock classic Hamada Shogo - I Am a Father. We moogles really adore our Shogo as he's one genius with lyrics. You have to give this a try!
Let's sum it up: We've got something for the girl band lovers, we also have a rock classic, we've covered the hilarious Enka-guy, did some Oasis-like rock, covered you VK fans out there, oh, and yeah, we also showed you one really freaky pop song.... Now what are we missing?
Right! We're missing the cute moe-megane girls in our equation. And we sure have something for that section: Tokito Ami - Sentimental Generation, which is also the Opening Theme to the second season of School Rumble, the anime. YAAAAAY! Really, you'll love it. This proves that Tsunku can still write decent songs, even though he's bringing them out to dozens.
But that's not all! We still got one more. What better way to end our spree with an energetic song!? Well, we bring you something you Sambomaster Fans out there have been waiting for. Sambomaster - Hikari no Rock is our video of choice and one awesome song. It's also the Movie Theme Song to the Anime Movie "Bleach: The DiamondDust Rebellion" and I had major fun working on it. But just see yourself.
All releases are available through Torrent.
Go grab them while they're still hot!

Happy 6th Birthday, Mognet!!!!

Wow, has it already been more than 2 week. o_O I didn't realize it. lol!!
Here's the new update with my latest released stuff.
Mognet is on a Halloween/Birthday spree, which will probably continue until tomorrow, and is throwing out all the stuff we had penned up for today.

First one of this batch is Kaera Kimura's Magic Music - a really awesome song which will probably remind you of a Peter Gabriel-esque video. Anyway, this is one of my personal favourites and one good song.
The next video we put out was the VKei Song Still Doll by Wakeshima Kanon. It's perfect for Halloween and was featured in the first season of Vampire Knight - the Anime (it was the ending). I absolutely adore this video. It's also the first where I was able to get the bursting letters to work - YAY! for me. \o/ This projects was actually a request by one of my "fans" Killjoy. I hope you'll enjoy it without killing someone!!
After that we absolutely had to release something Rock-related. We settled on this really great song - Base Ball Bear's Dakishimetai. It's actually one of my favourites of the band, though I also like Dramatic and a few others. Maybe we'll do some more of them soon. Base Ball Bear is really popular in Japan right now.

But what is a release spree without something to shake your head at. We definitely had to bring you something that is totally hilarious and amazing at the same time. We decided to do Jero's umiyuki. Umiyuki is Jero's first big release in Japan and believe it or not - he's a Black Guy with Japanese roots though he grew up somewhere in America. In memory of his late Grandmother, who was Japanese herself and loved music, he decided to go to Japan and become a star in the underrepresented Enka-Genre, which is basically traditional Japanese Folk Music. Amazingly he was a success which is probably partly because he looks like a young Will Smith in "The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air" and partly because he's a Black Guy singing Enka. We at Mognet at least agree that we love-hate him, just because it's so awesomely hilarious. Anyway - please enjoy this little bit of trivia.

More to follow soon!
Everything is available as Torrent releases through our page.

Birthday!!!

The release-spree continues...

Hello there!
Been a few days since I last updated. Sorry about that, but I was kinda busy.
Today here's a quick update on the latest two videos I did.
Both, again, are from our currently 15-day-release-spree with Hello!Fransubs. You can find the video on the Hello!Online Tracker if you're interested in these. Anyway. I don't want to make too big a show of these, since I have to learn for tomorrows test, which is why this will be quick.

The first release is one of my personal favourite songs. This performance was actually not my first choice as I liked the initial concert performance of this song even better, but since that one was already done we decided to go with the next best we could find. Amazingly this song had a 32mb ass script file. It's my to-date biggest ass-file - which is soooooooo awesome. I was trying really hard to get this pixel \K effect done on some other projects but was never able to. This time I made it. I hope you'll enjoy this as much as we do: Takahashi Ai, Niigaki Risa, Kamei Eri & Tanaka Reina - Shanimuni Paradise (MM '07 Aki ~Bon Kyu! Bon Kyu! Bomb~)

After that we released one of BexXz new creations and today we released another of mine. This one we actually had done a few months ago, just with another performance, as we weren't able to find the video we wanted to work with - initially. Now, this is the performance we actually wanted to sub back then. The concert is one of my all-time favourites as it's the one with the most still active Morning Musume members back in 2003. Believe me, this is ONE AWESOME concert. Anyway. This time we tried to blend the old effects from the other release (Morning Curry Concert) with new effects (same basic idea as AS FOR ONE DAY) to fit it to the new video. We came up with a compromise, which means glowstick action and bouncing: Morning Musume - TOP! (MM '03 Haru 'Non Stop!')
That's it for today.
All releases are available on H!O in both Xvid and H264.

If you want to know what I'm currently working on check out the latest Momosu single or the latest C-ute single.

Greetings~

And on we go...

Yay, we've been quite active lately - well okay, I was, since everyone else was already done months ago. Anyways.
We have two new releases, and another two coming up this weekend.
Just so everyone knows - we're talking Hello!Fansub Concert Performances here.

The first one we released was yesterdays Morning Musume - Ikimasshoi (MM '07 Aki ~Bon Kyu! Bon Kyu! Bomb~). It's the following up performance to another perfo I'm currently working on (but tomorrow more about that ^_^). The general feeling for this one was definitly "color and play"!
The next performance we'll release (probably today) is going to be the follow-up performance to last weeks "wakkyanai (z)": C-ute - Shiroi Tokyo (C-ute '07 Haru ~Golden Hatsu Date~). I really wanted to do this one since I also worked on the "ZYX" Pv-version years ago. I really love this song and though I probably could have done a lot better with the fx, I still think it looks fine in a dignified way. I basically wanted to follow up BexXz winter-ish release of "Pitari Shitai Xmas" which we released a few days ago.

I hope you'll all enjoy this. I'm taking my leave now since I'm currently working on tomorrows release ;)

Bye~

Slow Treading...

hey folks!
I've been busy again. After this amazing release spree we had with Hello!Fansubs, I've been working on a new round of projects to get done for the upcoming weekend. stay tuned~

But now to the real topic of this post.
I've been really excited to get my hands on the new copy of C.L. Wilsons latest book release "King of Swords and Sky" and I still haven't finished reading it. In some ways I think I don't get a connection with this book or I'm unconsciously waiting for something. My guess is, that I don't really want to read the book till the last of the books is out - which should be around June next year. I actually can't wait to read the whole story in one sitting. I've been reading into some of the book's chapters and it seems quite nice, but it's not as fascinating as the first two books where. Maybe it's really my mind dampening down on my excitement to read this. *sigh* it's really a hassle. I actually had hope to bridge the time till the last book with reading the third installment, but that seems to not work for me. I'm just glad some thing did work out in book 3, but I think I'll make this a saver, till I get my hands on the last part of the story. I really hate cliffhangers and though these books actually always have some kind of an ending with a big bang at the end, I still know that there's going to be more of this and so I still feel like the story is about to plung into a big black hole.
Well, can't be helped then. I just have to wait!

Though since I'm not satisfied with books recently I tend to buy even more.
Today five new books arrived and they are quite fine reads, though I'm not really up to reading those stories to the fullest. I'm currently skipping around in 4 diffrent books - while not reading everything I try to get the "greater meaning" of the story by skipping through parts of the story and reading the last 3 pages. After that I normally know what's going on and put the book away. *sigh* That's also very frustrating. maybe it's time I stop my excessive reading and start some quality reading again.

Anyway. that's it from me today. I'm going to work on this weekends spree. bye~
