It's been a while since I've done a . This featured topic hosted by @neurothing is .

  1. Initial D - Running in the 90s

For those who has been in the internet for ages, this song is a well known meme. It originally was released as part of the Super Eurobeat Vol. 85 song compilation and is featured as a song in the anime "Initial D: First Stage".

  1. The Roots & BT - Tao of the Machine

For those who remembers Need for Speed: Most Wanted, I chose this song as it introduces you to the first real race of the game. Honestly though, the entire soundtrack is still fun to listen to this date with each rival having its own theme.

This particular one is the theme of "Sonny", the first of the rivals you'll have to beat to get to the top of the most wanted list.

  1. antiPLUR - Speed of Link

A featured artist in osu!, this 8-bit styled speedcore song where it is incredibly high paced throughout.

  1. 黒皇帝 (kurokotei) - Galaxy Collapse

This speedcore song is arranged from the original Touhou song 平安のエイリアン (Heian no Eirian, or Heian Alien) by ZUN.

The use of the song ramping up alongside the hard beats makes it very iconic. This song's progression is like meeting the final boss of a rhythm game and witnessing its transforming phases.

  1. xi - Freedom Dive

One of Bemani's songs that was featured in SOUND VOLTEX IV HEAVENLY HAVEN. This is one of the most well known songs throughout the rhythm game genre. The intensity of the song

Additionally, this song was used as part of a map pool for the osu! world cup 2023 last week. This song was picked as the 5th map between Germany vs USA.

alice, to trans

Moved yet again, this time to a self-hosted firefish instance :3

I'm an AuDHD transbian girl being gay and silly on fedi. ​:spinny_cat_trans:​​:spinny_cat_lesbian:​ I only recently started transitioning and I'm trying to be more open about my emotions. ​:neocat_floof_cute:​

Expect lots of shitposts/random nonsense, selfies, gay yearning and emotion dumping (both positive and negative, but under a CW). ^^

I like video games, mostly indie and Nintendo ones (e.g. osu!, Touhou, TLoZ, Metroid, Celeste, Crypt of the NecroDancer etc), and I also stream them. ^^

I also listen to a lot of video game music and their covers, and I can talk about languages, though I almost never post about either for some reason.

Disclaimer: the above info is correct at the time of writing, but it will become outdated over time, as my hyperfixations shift around every few months. My overall set of interests is fairly static tho, so if I will be circling back to the previous ones eventually. ​:neocat_floof_happy:​

I'm also a GNOME developer (mostly maintaining libadwaita and a few third party apps), and I will occasionally post updates about that, but this is my personal account first and foremost, so don't expect a lot of posts about it :3

I'm also developing a game emulator frontend called Highscore, but how many spoons I have for it varies wildly over time ​:neocat_sad:​

  1. Seiryu (青龍) - Blue Dragon
    YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f0meFSlWTGo
    Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/track/2ZvoJAUFQk81rx9sVZTyfJ

This song is by a person in the #bemani scene known as Ryutaro Nakahara (中原龍太郎) under the alias of Seiryu (translated as Blue Dragon), where the name of the song is "Blue Dragon" where the Album name is also called "Blue Dragon".

  1. XI - Blue Zenith
    YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vatcanQQJvQ
    Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/track/2lXiRhhafki86YraonFc3k

The origin of the WYSI / 727 meme in #osugame. It's a progressively intense song that introduces new elements for each iteration of the chorus.

  1. Tatsuya Kitani (キタニタツヤ) - Where Our Blue Is (青のすみか)
    YouTube (Official MV): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zuoVd2QNxJo
    Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/track/12usPU2WnqgCHAW1EK2dfd

If you've heard this song, you'll know it's the season 2 opening of #jujutsukaisen

  1. Mrs. Green Apple - Blue & Summer (青と夏)
    YouTube (Official MV): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m34DPnRUfMU
    Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/track/5BC6kr6etk2Y9J62AyI4i3

For those familiar with Ms. Green Apple, who made many songs such as Inferno (for the anime "Fire Force"), this one is a theme song to a romance film called "Kimi ni Koi Shita 30 Nichi" (青夏 きみに恋した30日). I personally hadn't watched it yet, so I can't give my full opinion on the movie.

  1. Yoasobi - Blue (群青)
    YouTube (Official MV): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y4nEEZwckuU
    YouTube (Official English MV): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L8hMN2UAPxs
    Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/track/0T4AitQuq8IJhWBWuZwkFA
    Spotify (English): https://open.spotify.com/track/3eGKvQ0eYpyl28lMo8ZT93

While the literal translation is ultramarine, it is simplified to blue. This is a somber song that I believe is about chasing dreams and the hardships that come from it.

For 's theme, courtesy of @ThePop , the topic is either covers or originals of songs.

Vocaloid songs are heavily prevalent in . Roughly 5 to 9 percent of ranked maps are from Vocaloid and many just as many covers that are untagged. Below are some of the ones that I like, each using a different Vocaloid, and additional commentary if needed.

  1. SeleP - Scarlet Rose
    Vocaloid: Lily

YouTube (Unofficial): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cazX4sqdbgs
NicoNico: https://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm15319178

A song about obsessive love, this really can capture your heart (and others)

  1. Nanahoshi Kangen Gakudan (ナナホシ管弦楽団) - Mythologia's End (終末のミュートロギア)
    Vocaloid: Hatsune Miku

YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HuD92ZwVZFY
NicoNico: https://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/nm16040310

I like this for its incredibly high energy throughout the entire song.

  1. Inabakumori (稲葉曇, INABAKUMORI) - Lagtrain
    Vocaloid: Kaai Yuki

YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UnIhRpIT7nc
Niconico: https://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm37198038

3a) Will Stetson cover

YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BEnZ0VgQAXw

I like this English variant from the way it captures the same energy as the original.

  1. WONDERFUL OPPORTUNITY - Remote Control (リモコン)
    Vocaloid: Kagamine Rin & Len

YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1st0XSY0VKQ
NicoNico: http://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm13612500
Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/track/72xjz57Z06x1bpbnAbkhIh

A collaboration of Jesus-P, Minus-P, and Glider, it's a fun song about gaming.

4a) Saiya cover
Beatmap: https://osu.ppy.sh/b/164020

I like this cover because it feels like she had fun making it with the way her voice sounds.

  1. kemu - Six Trillion Years and Overnight Story (六兆年と一夜物語)
    Vocaloid: IA

YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Om3MTou2kPg
NicoNico: https://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm17520775
Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/track/08ZvFfHEBfTgH4MN9YT1BC

This song is alluring as if it really is something beyond the stars.

5a) Roselia's Cover

YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uEnSW2o81is

Roselia from BanG Dream had a cover of it. Yukina's vocals felt incredibly empowering throughout their performance.

alice, to GNOME

(I know this is getting ridiculous, but I moved yet again to update my username, so another intro :blobcat_mlem:)

I'm a trans girl trying to figure herself out and be more open. :ablobcatwave:

I'm also autistic (self-ID), possibly also ADHD/Kinetic.

I'm a GNOME developer at Purism, maintaining libadwaita. I will occasionally post updates about it.

I support 🇺🇦🇦🇲🇵🇸.

Otherwise I'm into video games. Currently mostly Touhou and osu!, previously Zelda, Metroid, Castlevania, Crypt of the NecroDancer/Cadence of Hyrule, etc.

I also listen to a lot of video game music and their covers, and should probably be posting more about it than I did previously.

I can also talk about languages, though I almost never post about them.

I try to CW almost everything I post by topic.
