→ The Noise of Art - Into Trouble With The Noise Of Art (Album)
Interestingly, I found out abt this album through a YTPMV, which was titled "Noise : Of : Art". The title made it seem like it was a reference to one of my favourite music artists Art of Noise, which it is!
If what I read is correct, this Album came free when you purchased a Greengate DS3 Sampler. The intent of the album is to show its ability to make music on the same quality as the much more expensive Fairlight CMI, which a lot of music producers used (such as Michael Jackson, and Art of Noise).
There's a lot more to it on the technical side though, and more can be read abt it on Mainframe's Website.
→ Detective Conan Movie 27: The Million-dollar Pentagram
DCMK (Detective Conan/Magic Kaitou) is an interest from my highschool days, much like Lupin III and Sherlock Hound (there's a pattern here...). This movie was created in commemeration for the 30th anniversary of Detective Conan, and was the highest-grossing Japanese film of 2024. (Information from Detective Conan World)
This movie is absolutely beautiful, I loved the traditional design everywhere both in the intro and the plot. It's difficult to explain but it felt like there had been a "traditional revival" when it comes to Japanese media starting in 2020, Disgaea 7 and Demon Slayer are two examples I immediately think of, there were more but I'm unable at the time but I'm unable to remember them at this moment. (I intend to update this at a later date, Golden Kamui?) Unfortunately I'm not someone who can put their words together very well, other than "samurai swords are cool" but I do recommend it as a watch if anyone is interested! Detective Conan's "base plot" is simple and explained in the intro of the movie, which is always appreciated, and I think the story itself stands great on it's own.
Heiji: To think you'd disguise as Kazuha and try to steal a kiss from me, that's disgusting!
Kaitou: Hey, hey, it's your fault for not seeing through the disguise.
