GREEN/Days

It's Ayumi Hamasaki's birthday on October 2 and we're extending the celebration in true ego-maniacal, splashy celebrity fashion, by drawing out the festivities for an entire week! Each day I will briefly discuss a totally random item chosen (not by me) from my Ayu collection. Prepare for praise, disappointment, and controversial opinions backed by love and respect as we take a casual look back in this blurry snapshot of her career in music. Happy Birthday to our Party Queen, Ayumi Hamasaki!

Here's an interesting question when it comes to Ayumi Hamasaki's "GREEN": what came first, the song or the concept? GREEN/Days (or Days/GREEN, depending on which version you bought) is Ayu's 44th single, released at the end of 2008 during her downfall in popularity. I think it was around this time that Ayu truly stopped taking into account what was expected of her and really just did what she wanted, for better and worse.

This single featured two new songs, "GREEN" and "Days," and re-recorded, 10th-anniversary versions of two singles, "TO BE" and "LOVE ~Destiny~." Which version you got, and in what order, depended on which of four different versions you bought. "GREEN" is an interesting song: it draws heavily upon classic Chinese instrumentation that weaves within it a very modern Ayumi Hamasaki rock song. It is propulsive and epic and has all the drama and intensity of Ayumi at this period in her music career. The music video reflects this heavily, with Ayumi playing a cabaret singer in 1930s-era China. The song and video were very strategic: just one year before, Ayumi started touring outside of Japan for the first time, making notable stops in Taiwain, Hong Kong, and Shanghai. And one month after this single was released, she performed her first featured show in Taipei. All of this accounts for the thematic influences in the music video and song.

The second song, "Days," is a typical winter-Ayu ballad. It reminds me of 2003's "No way to say" or even 2004's "CAROLS," including heavy use of slow-motion and CGI snow in the videos. Like the PV for "GREEN," Ayu's back-up dancer SHU-YA and his hair cut features prominently in the music video, here as an unrequited love interest. It's a solid song, but I wouldn't put it in the same category as some of her other iconic ballads.

Let’s talk about the re-recordings: In my opinion, if new vocals and arrangement don't somehow improve upon, or provide some kind of new insight into, the original, then there is no point in re-making a classic. That would be the case here for these, especially "TO BE," whose production, while busier, seems oddly thin. It is also a universal truth that Ayu's vocals, whether you like them or not, have definitely not improved since the original song was recorded. They might have more personality and emotion, but they don't sound technically better, and in many ways, they sound like somewhat-hurried live recordings. If you really want to hear "TO BE," it's better to hit up the original on LOVEppears. The limited-edition packaging on this is identical to the only other single she released in 2008, Mirrorcle World, where both discs come housed in a long, vertical slip case almost 9 1/2 inches tall. There were three other versions released: a limited-edition and CD-only version entitled "Days/GREEN," which included the 10th Anniversary Version of "LOVE ~Destiny" and included the making-of feature for "Days," rather than "GREEN," on the DVD. There was also a regular CD-only version of "GREEN/Days" released with the same track listing as the limited edition.

This is a solid single release from Ayu, but it's not my favorite. "GREEN" is great, "Days" is good (but generic), and the 10th Anniversary Versions are unnecessary, if not a touch insulting. The limited-edition packaging is fun, but only if you can find a second-hand version for cheap. Ayu looks beautiful on the jacket art, but also somewhat sleepy, and none of it really reflects the tone of the content within. The real kicker is the album that these songs ended up on...

Solar

Solar Power, a supportable wellspring of energy, is conceivably of the most open source on Earth. In any case, being a broken wellspring of energy, it ought to be improved by storing or another energy source. Cost systems everyday. Using sun controlled energy is productive considering the way that it allows an even more innocuous to the biological system or a "greener" way to deal with daily existence. It is similarly a transparently open resource, which is one of its many advantages as once presented and doesn't cost more than the cost of setting up and routine help.

Solar Power Information

It makes a big difference to be familiar with certain information about daylight based power preceding getting it. The importance of sun situated power is "energy systems that produce energy clearly from light". An enormous piece of our energy resources are in any event sorts of sun based energy. Without the sun, the breeze wouldn't blow. Besides, the sun causes evaporating of water which achieves water getting together in streams after development. This water is used for hydro electrical power. Without the sun, water would be everlastingly gotten in areas of strength for a: ice. What's more, bio-powers can't exist without the sun as well. Assuming that you some way or another figured out how to go more into significance similarly the sun licenses life, which hence, would give oil based commodities. A crucial reality about sun situated energy is that it is an unlimited wellspring of energy as light could be used any time.

A daylight controlled charger is by and large delivered from six (6) sections explicitly the PV (photovoltaic) cell or sun based cell which makes the power, the glass which covers and defends the sun situated cells, the packaging which gives rigidity, the backsheet where the sun based cells are laid, the convergence box where the wirings are encased and related, and the encapsulant which fills in as concretes.

Led

While study the verifiable scenery of standard bulbs, the more prominent costs related with conveying LEDs is most certainly not an amazing obstruction to get by. The gleaming bulb hung tight for about 70 years preceding supplanting "candles, oil lights, and gas lights" as the essential wellspring of lighting.[2] When the principal unpleasant brilliant bulb was made in 1809 by Humphrey Davy, an English physicist, using two charcoal strips to make light, it remained preposterous. Later when the essential certifiable brilliant bulb was made by Warren De la Rue in 1820, utilizing a platinum fiber to make light, it was unnecessarily exorbitant for business use. Right when Thomas Edison made a splendid bulb involving a carbonized fiber inside a vacuum in 1879, did the sparkling bulb become sensible and sensible for client use.

Suitcase (Bag)

Whether you are off the event that must be portrayed as epic or a work journey, it's fundamental what you pack as well as how they are contained. The pack is essentially as also as critical as the most widely recognized approach to squeezing, as it is the cautious layer for your pieces of clothing and spreads out the aggregate you can convey with you. Getting a fair sack for your necessities can help similarly avoid issues, for instance, not having adequate space or your pack getting hurt in transport. Here is several hints on the most capable technique to find the best sack for yourself as well as your necessities...

Size, Materials

Vacuum

The market has various choices for vacuum cleaners each with an enormous number of choice in features. A numerous people buy the chief vacuum that looks generally great, since they could manage without vacuum cleaner shopping and have to spend their money on things that give off an impression of being truly fortifying. There are various kinds of vacuums keeping watch and all of them has their potential gains and disadvantages. The essential spot to start is by learning about the different fundamental models of vacuums that are out there, so I've recollected a short preamble to each for the sections under.

Robot Vacuum

What is a Robot Vacuum Cleaner?

For sure ! It truly does unequivocally correct thing you are thinking, it vacuums. As opposed to your standard vacuum cleaner, in any case, this one is barely remarkable... well it's sagacious. We are not implying automated thinking or anything like that.

A robot vacuum cleaner will vacuum your hard and cover floors and hold the dirt in a catcher that can be released sometimes. Right when it has finished, the robot vacuum cleaner picks its docking station or addresses enlighten you that it is done cleaning. Not horrendous huh!

Gameboy

One of the most modern and best PC game machines open today is the Game Boy smaller than normal. It has a more unobtrusive, smooth arrangement that makes it uncommonly charming especially to numerous people that are focused on gaming on the web and detached. There are several different ways that people can get this for a piece of the cost. Coming up next are two or three hints on the most capable technique to find a GameBoy little that won't punch a hole in your wallet.

Exactly when I was growing up, the best frenzy at the time were arcade games that were found in neighboring stores or even enormous arcade spots where you expected to pay a quarter to briefly play them. These games were extraordinarily enormous and significant and were open right at express regions.

Charcoal

Each barbecue sweetheart has an evaluation on the best fuel to use on a charcoal grill. In case you've not considered your fuel decisions, you should, in light of the fact that the fuel you use can significantly affect the idea of your barbecued meals.

The three fuel decisions are charcoal, briquettes and wood.

In this article we'll look at all of these accordingly and subsequently make a thoughts regarding the best ways of using all of them on your charcoal grill.

Humankind has been making charcoal for centuries, and probably been including it for cooking for close to as extensive.

Bamboo

Bamboo is maybe of the speediest creating plant on Earth. Culms are ready for use being developed inside three to seven years. But still new in market, bamboo charcoal and bamboo fiber things become continuously notable recently generally as a result of bamboo's enduring through quality and eco-obliging nature. Bamboo charcoal salt green tea toothpaste and bamboo handle toothbrushes are also available. Bamboo fiber things integrate towels, socks, brassiere, clothing, clothing, bedding, packs, kid series and that is only the start. Other than various plans of bamboo collapsing holders and napkins, bamboo block placemats and trivets, bamboo kitchen items and table sets, bamboo office supplies, bamboo is even made into a bamboo back scratcher massager to give you a steady hand when required. Bamboo makes are made joining workmanship and capacities as jewels, fans and home enhancements. Bamboo gradually finds its bearing to our kitchen, receiving area, room, office, and enters all parts of our lives. These are empowering thing progressions regardless, for individuals who grew up eating new and dry bamboo makes efforts during dinner, sitting on bamboo stools and seats, including bamboo pen holders in the survey, and snoozing on bamboo mats for its cooling influence around night time. For individuals who have scarcely any understanding into bamboo, maybe the opportunity has arrived to find out about bamboo for living and an impressive part of its benefits.

Rotisserie

Rotisserie cooking is one of the most outstanding approaches to cooking meat. What results from rotisserie cooking is commonly delightful, and incredibly fragile meat, stacked with all of the flavors that you blended into the meat preceding cooking it.

Moreover, since rotisserie cooking requires for all intents and purposes no oil, it is a way to deal with actually diminishing how much fat from your food. We love our food, but we really want to keep lean and strong; rotisserie cooking grants you to do that in the comfort of your home, any season.

How might it work?

Barbecue rotisseries work by relaxed cooking meat on a spit all through some indistinct time period (it truly sears the meat). The exchanging advancement keeps most of the juices while letting the fat stream away. Thusly, the meat stays sodden and delicious even evening time of slow cooking. The cooperation gives the meat a smoked flavor and a new surface.

Essential oil

Value using Essential Oils and making your own recipes that give you things that are expedient and simple to make.

Using only 5 Essential Oils - hold the cost down yet not make unacceptable things for your use. I never mulled over feasibility in these recipes if it wouldn't work with the five its not recorded.

A normal fixing in standard things, therapeutic oils are used commonly through internal breath or by successful utilization of debilitated oil. Since these oils are so expeditiously open to everyone, numerous people mistakenly anticipate that no particular data or planning is supposed to use them. Some have scrutinized somewhat about fragrant mending, or a sidekick or supplier has told them a particular oil is truly perfect for by the same token. Nevertheless, regular ointments can make issues at whatever point used erroneously. What sum do you really know about areas of strength for these?

Some have examined a little about scent based treatment, or a friend or supplier has told them a particular oil is perfect for by the same token. Nonetheless, normal oils can welcome on certain issues at whatever point used wrongly. What sum do you really know about serious areas of strength for these?

Aroma diffuser

Fragrance diffuser is a critical contraption to participate in the supportive benefits of normal smell oil. Smell diffuser, restoring balm diffuser or fundamentally diffuser looks like a pass.

What were the frames you didn't know ?

okay, so this is in reference to THIS POST that I'm actually getting a couple of asks about (which is unexpected) so I'll answer some things, but I'm likely going to get into Season 2 spoilers so here is your warning~

anyway, there's a few unrecognizable frames in the PV, simply because they are animated differently or could potentially contain original content. The first season had an interesting way of bending certain scenes to play out more 'visually' compared to the manga.

first is probably this lovely frame from 0:04 into the PV:

it's obviously meant to be a "child's drawing" with Mob featured prominently, among what appears to be...maybe a mother figure, a superhero/alien, and a dinosaur...in space. Yeah, kid stuff. My guess is that this is just some way to portray adolescence or youth, maybe a reference to the Separation Arc, specifically when Reigen has the flashback to when he first met Mob. However, as they already used that flashback in Season 1 (and there's what looks like another clip of young!mob and Reigen later in the PV), it's possible they are going to present that same scene, but in a different way.

next is the short moment at 0:37 that is essentially a close-up of Mob:

my initial interpretation of this was that it was likely from the Separation Arc because the lights are flashing around him, as we saw previously in other clips from the PV where Reigen is at the press conference, the white washed-out background being similar, if not the same, to those clips. And since we know that Mob was there in that scene, it's possible this scene could be from that.

but looking closer, the 'flashing lights' don't seem as intense as they are in the Reigen clips (though Mob would be behind them while Reigen in front, so that's fair), but it also appears to be raining heavily. And there's a soft blue tone surrounding Mob (which isn't there in Reigen's clips).

the only other parts of the PV with blue tones are the 'mindspace' parts of the Mogami Arc (when Mob first enters) and the Urban Legends Arc, specifically the scenes where they're dealing with the Kuchisake Onna out in the forest. Since the latter takes place outdoors, it would make plenty of sense for it to be raining if that's where that clip is from... But there's no way to know for sure until the episodes come out, haha.

after that, we have this very common anime ED-looking moment:

If it's actually from an ED, I might actually be disappointed because I don't know anything that could top how amazing the Refrain Boy animation was for the first season's ed...

it's completely possible this is just a transition moment, too, though, possibly during the World Domination Arc (when he's awake, or maybe not?). But in that case, if it's not 'real' then it could also be from the Mogami Arc, or even be another bizarre way of describing something akin to a flashback for the Separation Arc, which may explain the odd lights on the horizon. It's a little odd (and by that I mean mainstream), compared to what MP100 normally puts out, so it's hard to really place it.

and then this bit from the second half of the PV (what I tend to call the 'mogami arc or bust' part):

just a slow-motion mob being very focused on something...in an environment that is likely green. Originally, I figured this was only due to certain elements in his eyes, but since the frames in motion grant nothing but Mob, with no surroundings, no reflections, no obstructions in the foreground (like the rain in the second frame I mentioned), it's nearly impossible to determine where the hell this bit is from. The audio overlay is SUPER MISLEADING in this entire PV, btw. If I assume the line Mogami is speaking during this part means it's from the Mogami Arc, I'd have to do the same during the rest of the PV and that would throw many things out of whack, because they purposefully throw certain audio around just because it sounds cool. But everybody does this in trailers, so it's not a big deal.

However!!! I don't just refer to the second half of this PV as 'mogami arc or bust' for nothing. There's a whopping 3 frames from the Separation Arc, 1 from the World Domination Arc, and 2 from the Urban Legends Arc, leaving the remainder of those 40 seconds worth of frames as ALL from the Mogami Arc.

that, in itself, is enough to make me bite my tongue about the misleading audio and assume that MAYBE this frame of mob IS from the Mogami Arc. But, again, there's no way to be sure.

that's essentially the whole of the frames I wasn't sure about, though. It's not that I couldn't necessarily identify them, either, it's just that they were too vague or there were too few clues in them to help me narrow down where they belonged.

seriously, though, definitely still send me questions or message me about this stuff. I LOVE analysis and getting way into details with stuff like this. It's fun~ 😚
