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~

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.

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!!!

Oh nooooooooooo. That time of the year again...

Oh well!!!
Lucky me has a test today... I so didn't learn anything at all *sigh* -_-'''

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~

New H!F-Releases coming up!

Time for some new H!P related releases. It turned out that I had more pending projects than I thought so I put my finger down and worked on them. I finished up 4 new videos in two days, which is quite nice. Hopefully you'll all enjoy them as much as we do.

Morning Musume - AS FOR ONE DAY (MM '03 Haru 'Non Stop!')
W - Nagisa no Sindbad (H!P '06 Winter ~Wonderful Hearts~)
C-ute - Wakkyanai (Z) (C-ute '07 Haru ~Golden Hatsu Date~)
Country Musume - Kakumei CHIKKU KISS (CM LIVE '06 ~Shibuya des Date~)

Releases coming soon in the next few days.
As always you'll get them at www.hello-fansubs.de

King of Sword and Sky

YAY, it's going to be released! I can't wait to get my copy. It should be here today, so I'm staying awake to open for the post guy. It's the third book in a 4-Book story, situated in a land inhabitated by everything a good fantasy book needs - dark mages, elves, fey, humans, beautiful beats... *sigh*
Can't wait, can't wait!

ARGH!

Shitty day!

Hello again!
I've already been back since monday this week but I was so busy, that I totally forgot to update. So here I am again. Back in my apartment, alone, and a little depressed. Today (actually yesterday) I had the first exam of a quite few I have to take this semester and guess what? Yep, I totally misjudged the enormity of the learning matter. So anyway, bottom line is, that I totally screwed up and I have to take it again somewhen in november.
This totally screws up my motivation and everything but it's definitly all my fault. First I missjudged the time I still had till the test, then I missjudged the enormity of the matter and in the end I just read books.

Bad, I know. *sigh*
Anyway, enough of the gloom. I want to tell you about the two new authors I'm currently reading. Since "Twilight" - the movie by Stephanie Meyers is coming out somewhen in december I really wanted to read the book before the movie was out - so I bought it (the book) and read it all in one day. I wasn't too sure if I'll like the genre as it's paranormal ficton for young adults. I'm normally the adult-genre reader - But In The End: This series is waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay amazing and totally captivating. I couldn't keep down the book long enough to eat a proper meal. It's really great and I hope the movie is going to be as great - cause, it's definitly a home dvd buy! YES!
After finishing up the first book, I looked around and it's actually an amazing quadrilogie. I totally buyed those books right then and when I came back home on monday I had four shiny new books here. YAY \o/. I've actually been only skipping through the other three books and I definitly want to read them full as soon as I have my tests finished up. But I've also been reading some strange critics about those other three. Presumable the fourth book was diffrent and hence not quite liked. I prefer to form my own opinion so I'm definitly going to read it. Right now I can't affort the time to read *sigh* ;_; A sad fact!

While browsing through Amazon I also found another series by an author named P.C. Cast, and her daughter Kirsten Cast named "The House of Night" - a vampire school series for young adults about a kickass girl names Zoey Redbird, who is thourouly disgusted with her no-caring mother and step-loser dad, till in the blink of an eye her whole life changes, as a vampyre tracker marked her as one of the night creatures. Zoey is thrown into a world of pagan rites, gifts granted by the vampyre queen Nyx herself and schemeing old adults.
An amazing new book series is thrown at us with currently four books out, though there is bound to be more to come. I googled up the authors: P.C. Cast is actually quite known for her reenditions of some popular heroic saga material mixed up with modern 21th centuary women at Berkleys (one of my favourite book publishers) and I'm currently buying those books - can't resist. Her daughter is a Biology student, author, poetist and journalist. Amazing!
But there goes one of my ideas for a book. +sigh+ Too bad, I didn't start working on my scripts earlier. Anyway.

Please check out these amazing authors if I love vampire fiction. You're bound to be captivated!

Sore ja! That's it from me for today. I'm going to finish up a new PV now and then it's time for bed. Oyasumi!

New Book, College preparations and other stuff!

Finally my book arrived. I've been waiting an additional week for it to get here and I'm very pleased to finally have it in my hands. I've been reading it twice since tuesday last week. It concluded a lot of open storyline and opened up some new stuff and introduced new characters. I hardly can wait for the next book "Dark Slider" somewhen next year. Hopefully Feehan will revail soon who's starring the next book. I've got a lot of interesting ideas, but it's always nice to have it confirmed.

Also we (from H!F) have been adding some new concert perfomances on our to-do-list. Hopefully you'll all be happy about the new stuff to come out soon. Also, I'm going to confirm here that it's me going to work on "Pepper Keibu", Momosu's latest Single. Unfortunately around the time that the Single V is going to be out, I'll have tests, which is why it'll take some time before it comes out.
I think you will all survive it.

September is slowly coming to an end and I'm starting on college preparation which is why I'm not going to be around in the next two to three weeks.
Please bear with me! I'll keep you updated when I have more time again.
For now I'm going to take a short vacation at my grandparents's and will be back next week.

Have a nice time!!

True Love Song... (?)

Yes, a true love song.
Mognet proudly presents the latest release - which is one of mine - HA! Else I wouldn't write about it here. I'm really happy to present this song as it's one of my personal favourites, though I can tell you, I won't watch this video for at least another 4 months. I've been going back and forth in this video to fix colors and effects for a couple of days, back when I made that. Kumama and I completely agree, that we don't need to see it again anytime in the near future.
Anyway - here is a screenshot of the video. Please also read the blog entry Stiltzkin made on wedding ceremonies on Mognet's official page.
Shonan no Kaze - Junrenka // I'm still not sure whether the band name is really written like that... ô.ô but Stiltz said so... Oh well!As always the release is available through Mognet's torrent page. Feel free to leave comments!

New PV's? Not yet, but soon!

Wow, it has been some days and I was really busy. I've been working on a lot of new videos for your pleasure. I finished off 6 new pvs in the last 2 1/2 days and I hope you'll all like them!
They'll still need some time to get encoded and released, but at least we have some new works in stock. If you've been wondering - they're MOGNET releases!

Here's a collage-picture I made up really fast. You'll find 9 diffrent PV's in it. Maybe you'll recognise some?
Let me know if!!
So long! See ya all soon~

emailimeeruimaaru... argh...

What a hell of a day.
It's 6:30pm now and I've been working since I woke up around 12am - doesn't sound too funny, right? Well, guess what I've been doing all day long. Yes, right. I've been writing Emails for 6 hours now. I'm currently trying to get concert tickets and interview permissions for the magazine I'm working for and I've been doing it for the last few hours. It's funny how you can do nothing or such a small thing for so many hours. I can't believe it. and I'm HUNGRY!

Going to order out food. I'm too lazy to get up and cook something.

Hopefully I'll be able to work on some more karaoke today! ARGH!

Dancing Monkeys and cute Baseballplayers

Right!
Time for a new post.
I've been really busy the last days trying to get a lot of work done, not only for HelloFansubs but Mognet too - but I'll tell you all about Mognet at some other time.
Right now, it's time for my update on Hello!Fansubs for which I did two new songs. \o/ YAY! (two less to do off of my to-do-list).
Anyway. Since the release of °C-ute's latest single DVD "Temari no Uta II" was delayed for two (?) weeks I decided to work on some other stuff meanwhile. I already had some lines for the latest BerryZ Koubou single "YUKE! YUKE! Monkey Dance" done but wasn't finished with it yet. To make a long story short - I needed about 72 hours total work time to finish up yuke yuke which I split up across about 2 weeks, because I had some work for the magazine to do (as you can read in previous posts). So after Drazic told me 'what I was working on' (which was a quiz that only he answered) I decided to make an endspurt with the project and get it done as soon as I can.
I needed 2 more days of working nearly 8 hours to get it finished but I think the end product exeeds all expectations. With the help of fellow asscalc-mate Meitei I was able to pull of some really awesome effects like clipped \K effects and individual start/end/fade and shake options - which is awesome. I did learn some new stuff while working on this so I'm really happy about how this went.
The end product was well recived though people tend to be sparse with comments. But fellow typesetters who commented on it were really astonished and happy to see such a good outcome. And I totally agree with some, that this video might just be my best - so far.The other song I was working was the Rakuten Eagles support theme by °C-ute, which was released late march. I was thinking along the lines of: "to make c-ute fans happy since latest single won't be out for another two weeks at least". Unlike yuke yuke this video went fairly fast. I only needed one forenoon to get it out and it had some nice effects. I drew two parts of the official logo by the team the "E" and the "S" as shapes and let them fly. I also used stars and baseballs in it. Generelly I tried to keep the theme of the song in mind and the predecessor with GAM and what effects we used there. This wasn't as hard and therefore not really worth talking about though I was happy when I finished it. One less video to work on. Next will probably be the new °C-ute song which will be out next week.
As always I included pictures. The files are available in both Xvid and H254 encodes on the Hello!Online board tracker.

Well, that's it for now! See you again next time.

ps: I finally had time again to clean my flat. Goooooood, I'm so happy!

spaghetti esagerato

My headache is gone. YES!!! \o/
Today I wrote 8 pages for that magazine. One about AnCafe, °C-ute and Berryz Kobo. Also one about various artists in hello!Project which turned out to be 5 pages long. HELLOOOOOOOOOO~! That's way too much. I've been researching for it for like 2 hours. Way too long if you ask me - but who asks?
Anyway! Since I've been working on this stuff since I woke up (around 4pm) I was now hungry as hell so I set off to find something suitable in my kitchen.
As I already knew: nothing was there to it spot on, so I had to cook something. Well, shit. What did I still have?

I still had a few pieced of Schwarwälder bacon, which is a little salty and tart in flavor. I also had white mushroom, leftover zucchini and spring onions which I chopped and stir-fryed. After that I added some whipped cream (the normal one, not the sweet one, and still liquid) and soft cheese to get the sauce and cooked everything till the soft cheese melted. Now add some salt, pepper and italian spices and you're set.Itadakimaaaaaaaaaaaasu!
And I tell you one thing - that bacon tastes awesome in cream sauce!

Okay! Back to writing those left over articles! see ya!
