Reading Too Much Into Things

A friend of mine started a channel to overanalyze and overthink pop culture. He's starting to get into tokusatsu, starting with a look at Ghost. Check it out if you'd like:

Can you think of a more perfect thing to release on this date? 13 for us, 10 for them. Hopefully no bad luck!

Considered skipping 13 because of bad luck, but I guess we'll do some special nostalgic releases.

The Wo versus O distinction?

A viewer wrote in an e-mail asking why we tend to use Wo over O in karaoke lyrics.

Here's my response:

I mean, both wo and o are used interchangeably, but if you notice, the Japanese wo is pronounced a more in front part of the mouth. If you say O like in English, that's said more from the throat like "Oh!". That's why it's wo instead of o. As far as I know, Wo isn't used in modern Japanese words? Just people who are intentionally trying to be quirky.

I hope that makes sense. Let me know if it doesn't or if you disagree on any of the points.

Kamen Rider Yongou released

Sangou wasn't the strongest Rider?!

Definitely don't miss this neat little three episode story. A continuation from the Sangou movie.

Thread / Wiki

Also, I've been seeing weird mispellings of the name like Youngo. It's Yon-gou which means 4th one. The gou is just a counter.

Ichi-gou = Number 1

Ni-gou = Number 2

San-gou = Number 3

Yon-gou = Number 4

Thank you donators. New capping computer

Long overdue, but to be fair, we were only able to get it working like 2 weeks ago. Just a lot of technical problems, which were able to overcome thanks to our tech guy, Dark Aura.

So far, it's been working great. We've been using it for a couple weeks and haven't really experienced the same failures that we were seeing on the other computer.

Just a little peek behind the scenes, but whenever we encoded audio for distro, it would fail like 40% of the time for no reason. It's extra maddening because it's not consistent. Not often enough for us to go all out in fixing it, but often enough that we'd be trying to reencode the audio again and again until it worked. So thankfully, that's not an issue with the new computer.

I'd like to thank GeJe Sentai, BiFkun, LigerFan, Scott Hamilton, and Davis "Des Shinta" Sleboda for their donations among others, who helped allay the cost of the computer. We were able to use donations to pay for most of the cost of the computer.

I also did a little survey, and apparently our donator's favorite shows are: GekIRanger, Shinkenger, Garo Yami, Gokaiger, Gaim, Kiva, Hurricaneger, Go-Onger, Ryuki, Blade, Ultraman, Toqger, W, Power Rangers Time Force, Zero, Metalder, Tiga.

We also had one donation with came with the note: "For the Capped Crusader..."

Once again, thank you everyone! We couldn't do this without you guys!
