English is so interesting!

โ‘  Will you be going fishing?
โ‘ก Are you going to going fishing?

I asked a native English speaker about the difference between โ‘  and โ‘ก above and he said they feel identical to me.

Please be something different๐Ÿ˜‚

Frank Chickens sure has Japanese vibes! I guess they are influenced by YMO! YMO also researched "Minyo" so they have its element๐Ÿ˜

If you're interested, check this out! Amami Minyo is a type of Okinawan music, also known as "Shima uta." Her vocal style is definitely rooted in Amami Minyo, but the rhythm and sound are also influenced!

One of my favorites composers is Ennio Morricone and among his works of art "Cinema Paradiso" is the best for me. This creation is just as beautiful as nature.

Hiatus Kaiyote is just awesome. They've got everything artists need: imagination, creativity, skills, and killer performances. Actually they're the main reason I moved to Melbourn, even though not many mates there know about them๐Ÿ˜‚
