Lately I'm really into any song with a rollicking piano line so I love the new Kaela Kimura.

New Kouteca demo.

 

[AdamT]

It's her weakest album imo. I'd recommend starting with Shoso Strip or Kalk Samen Kuri no Hana.

Thanks!

New Kouteca demo.

I keep hoping for Camera Gal to release something soon. I like what seems like a more aggresive style and ramy t talata's goofy voice.

Yeah. I thought the last Kouteca EP was fairly weak, but this demo sounds really good. I'm interested in hearing what Gal has to offer. I need studio-quality Pataco.

That's pretty cool. I wonder how much of it is choreographed projection-/perspective-mapping versus actually tracking that floating camera and rendering those specific moments dynamically.

I don't think there was any projection, they were dancing on a huge screen.

Sitting in Tokyo Dome for a sold out Babymetal show for free. They have a drone taking video footage. Is this common?

Gimme those juicy details bruh.

 

[neshcom]

Yeah, you can really tell in the solo shots. I meant "projection mapping" as the technique of faking perspective.

 

[daydream]

There' a new Polkadot Stingray MV: https://youtu.be/rudHfB6hatw

To me they're the most promising new band right now. Hope they release something soon.

definitely agree, even though this new song is lacking some energy

 

[chrominance]

Yeah, you can really tell in the solo shots. I meant "projection mapping" as the technique of faking perspective.

I feel like it wouldn't be difficult to do motion tracking for the camera and render the scene on the floor/wall screens based on that perspective. Since this is Perfume and this all happened in a closed environment, though, it could also be completely choreographed. My money is on both: camera and dancing are choreographed precisely, scene renders based on camera position for safety (and also because why not at that point, it's probably not that much more difficult if you can get telemetry for the camera).

 

[stump sock]

you're overthinking it. there's basically multiple semi-transparent screens (including the one they're standing on) that are being back-projected onto

The screens we get, it's more how they rendered the images on the screens so that they seem to disappear. The images projected onto the floor and wall screens are skewed in such a way that from the camera's perspective, it all appears to be a single surface. Like here, the floor seems to drop out:

Basically, the video equivalent of these pieces of art:

It's an effect that specifically only works if you're viewing the piece from a single position in space; anywhere else and the illusion falls apart. The camera's moving the whole time, though, so the video for each screen have to be taking that into account.

 

[Zoe]

Unless they brought in all of their own equipment, they probably just had the cameras on a set track. Occam's razor and all.

lol why

who would cast Miorin in anything

 

[vincenzogrubb]

I think I've become pretty conditioned to the hyper-ephemeral nature of Japanese music but 2016 feels like the roughest year I can remember. It really sucks seeing so many of the most innovative and interesting acts disappear after failing to grow a big enough audience while those that are already established can coast by doing the same things over and over again.

Anyways, this Akio & bo en collaboration EP on Maltine is brilliant.

New Regal Lily.

As someone who saw some of their tech (SF show last month) they use live this just blew my mind even more so. I can't wait till they come back so I can see what else they have up their sleeves.

Sad about Kouteca, Psybou-Kanojo and Saki. And Yasuo Yuhi left Billie Idle a couple of months ago, she was my favorite member. I´ll never get accustomed to the ephemeral nature of idol groups.
