    Their only full length was also available at like an edison but i believe it was sold out within 2-3 days...

    And only if you bought it at their live you received a huge foiled lyrics card.

    😥They also sold it at there OHP limited to 100 copies. Im upset that they made it so limited.

    What happened to this beautiful masterpiece and every other song you mentioned was that MiA wrote them. Tsuzuku/Genki wrote the lyrics, but the music was MiA. 

    Actual vocal talent and music are two different things. Im mostly talking about his vocal talents and band recognition not anything else but yes that is a a fact. Doesn't have much of a factor in what I meant.

    Koichi is on "world-travel" after arabic topic with salam, the last stuff seems to be chinese-themed (Was there a MV? Was there supposed to be a MV? I don't care too much, because what he is doing now is absolutly not my thing)
    Its just feel like all the money went to Koichi and Genki went empty handed? Or why Koichi seems to be able to have staff and shooting locations etc. 
    Is Koichi going down on anyone for this stuff?

    Interesting comment. I never really thought about it that way. Unless im late to the party I never understood why koichi went solo. Seems very off setting to me and feel as tho his talent as a bassist is better. Just hope he doesn't waste his time. 

     

    That aside:

    Tzk lost his vocal touch when mejibray ended. What ever happened to this beautiful masterpiece. I could be wrong since its only the first single but he could have tried a bit more here.  The beginning part of nanaki clearly shows the potential his voice has. Even Echo has more promise and reallyyyyy hate ballads. Normally im a bit nicer to my mejibray peoples but this band was one of the most popular bands in vk at a certain point they could have gotten some musicians to back tzk. They had enough recognition to do it.  Its been done before. Even people who go solo get instrumental support like budget stuff too.

    Sound quality wise, personally I did hear the difference.

     

    Even after I ripped the CD, the sounds are still sounding clear and crisp, great balance, something that I don't ever find from regular CD rip regardless of tools were used to rip it, hence why I usually had to resort to purchase raw FLAC or WAV files of it when available. With Western artists, it is easier to find and more accessible. But with Japanese albums, I can only have that from SHM CD rip.

    Just out of curiousity what is your current audio set-up. IE Speakers, amplifiers, and headphones if any?

    Companies could also be using a different mastering for SHM versions to make it sound different which could explain the price hike. In which case then it might be good to try to see if the new mastering is better. At that point you are strictly paying for the music and not the CD quality which is probably cheap as hell to manufacture.

    These versions are usually just more expensive version of a CD's due to its durability. Polycarbonate material almost like steel in hardness so its generally more pricey then standard CD's. Mastering does have a small portion of that contribution but ultimately its the way the CD is made. I would agree it can be worth checking out maybe on like your favorite release or something just to see how its sounds.

     

    Kinda similar to like buying a Blu-ray vs DVD. A DVD is cheaper to make as posted to a Blu-ray  because of the way its made. That's why they are priced differently. As for Japanese versions of CD's its up in the air there are different types. Even HMV.co. jp has there own version.

     

    Regardless i agree. I dont care for the SHM CD all that much.

    According to article made by CDJapan. Some of these CD's are used by very well known artists in the Music industry.  There is a interesting science behind this. In a way some of this stuff makes sense others do not.

     

    Based off what i read with a little research SMH-CD's are more durable then your average CD's they do contain a better projection of data on the CD but not enough to make much of a difference in sound quality a least worth noting unless you have expensive audio equipment to really play with. Notably most Japanese editions of CD's are similar to SMH-CD's in quality and are priced slightly high for that reason. I don't personally own these CD's but based on the information on others who have one. It really depends on your audio equipment and perception of how you hear music. Some people notice it some people do not. SH Material is "supposed" to make your CD Player's work better by incorporating better materials that's for more reliable in production, easier to read obviously if you have a good CD player. What this basically to me at least is longer lasting CD's.

     

    Interestingly enough, SMH-CD's are made out of polycarbonate material which are also a similar material that Blue ray CD's are made of. Not 100% made of the same material but mostly comprised of it.

     

    This aside. My opinion tho is that i believe the CD's in quality could be the same if i heard it. (Disclaimer: I dont own a SMH-CD).  I also believe it is based off the artist and there equipment, sound production and mastering of the audio itself for you to really tell the difference in it. Thats just me tho. If you want to take a shot in the dark that is fine. Im not that interested in other types of CD's believe it or not but i did get a good take away from this topic which is that  Interestingly enough this encourages me to re-rip some of my CD's with a better CD player. All my rips are from a 2005 CD player. Need an upgrade.

     

     

    Non-CD:

    Me personally i prefer M4a audio higher then 320 Kbps. Mostly because its the closet format to a Lossless without the big file. A difference for ripped CD's, i noticed is when i listen to a Mp3 320 kbps compared to a m4a 320 kbps. Some mp3's are actually really good quality but most M4a's in my opinion sound better then Mp3. Lossless for me interestingly enough is the same for a ripped M4a i don't notice that much of a difference for my ears. I use 100 dollar wireless headphones tho but speaker wise i will need to upgrade later.
