Thank you for making time to answer my question about the Summer Sonic 2018! It really made my day! I know I'm anonymous and you probably won't verify that I was the one who submitted the question, thank you! Thank you for sharing your thoughts as well! Even if you don't reply to this message, I'd like you to know that I admire your dedication on bands like MFS. Know that I'll share this page with my fellow MFS supporters if ever the fans have misunderstandings about the two brothers! Thank you!
Hi 😊
Well, there are two groups of people who send me anonymous questions. Those who genuinely don’t have a Tumblr account or my readers who are too shy to talk otherwise 😄.
Before I go any further, sorry that it took me awhile to reply to you. Lately I have again been stumbling upon some outlandishly crazy “claims” regarding Hiro and Taka 😕. Reading your message, I knew where your state of mind was coming from. Like many out there who are intrigued (in either good or bad way) by the Moriuchi brothers’ relationship, some would choose to search for answers while some simply choose to remain “uninformed” but acting like they know it all. The second group of people are the toxic ones who unfortunately seem to be very proud to be so from what I’ve seen 😮. Glad you belong to the first one 😊.
What I’m hoping from MFS supporters is a sense of responsibility especially when it comes to the social media. 
For example, lately I keep seeing more and more people posting snippets of Hiro’s widely misunderstood-and-taken-out-of-context Budokan speeches (on YouTube, Instagram, Facebook, Twitter etc) which of course attract both fans and haters leaving crazy “low-life-Hiro-hates-Taka” comments as usual. I admit that it’s easy to take Hiro’s words out of context. However, the issue I see with this is, often the ones who posted the videos are too clueless about MFS especially Hiro’s story and can’t explain anything substantial 😑. Either that or they just stay quiet while letting the haters spew their malicious claims uncontested. Then a new fan comes in, reads it and innocently believes it 😕. It always ends up becoming yet another breeding ground to spread yet more lies and trash talk about MFS particularly Hiro. 
Deciding to support MFS, for the most parts, requires us to prepare ourselves with knowledge and a lot of understanding to face this group of people. No, I don’t encourage verbal mudslinging fight either 😄. Always treat people with kindness and professionalism 😊.
Haters and skeptics will always be there. We know that. However, if we as fans let our social media accounts become a platform for them to thrive, then shame on us, isn’t it 🤔?
Why we need to watch that One O'Clock thing till the end ….
Everybody is obsessed with this stepping on the one-o-clock shot and yet …..
Tumblr media
Nobody talks about how the time rewinds at the end of the show and the clock goes back to its original state INTACT when the boy decides to live on. Look at the caption, “いつか終わるその日まで、僕は行き続ける / till that ending day, I will continue to live”. This is the part when the narrator says “Until my last day, I will live my life,” in English.
Tumblr media
The clock already got lifted from the ground and is now perched against the tree showing about 2 mins after one o’clock with the caption saying “僕の物語は続く/ my story continues”. Does anybody else notice this? This shot literally says “MY FIRST STORY will continue just a little bit later after ONE OK ROCK”. It’s clear, isn’t it? There is zero animosity towards OOR. Hiro does NOT hate Taka. It’s unfair to take only several seconds of a 2-hour long video to come up with a conclusion what the video is all about, isn’t it?
Tumblr media
It’s not Hiro’s fault that some people just don’t care to watch the video till the end nor even try to delve into the symbolism in the story.

Stranger Things Season 3
Tumblr media
Note: This review contains spoilers for Stranger Things Seasons 1-3
Stranger Things was exactly that to a whole generation of viewers; something cognizant, inspired and reminiscent of wondrous 80’s era-filmmaking and significantly so without being derivative. And then it started to become derivative of itself.
That’s not to say that later Stranger Things is bad, far from it; it’s still some of the most rewarding television out there. The first season, riffing off ET, The Goonies et al mirrored some of the quintessential iconography without resting or relying on nostalgia or knowing winks; instead pivoting to an original plot staged with modern production values simply subsisting within a welcome 80’s milieu. Rather than attempting to recreate that specific to the success of other narratives the Duffer Brothers surprised everyone by relaying story stylings rather than idiosyncrasies to create a tale for which you don’t have to have seen anything else to appreciate it’s accomplishments.
And you know what, season one, it’s even better than ET and The Goonies. The main characters are more memorable and each share a distinct dynamic, while introducing the wider world to the scope of former bit character actor David Harbour, giving Winona Ryder the best role of her career and permitting Millie Bobby Brown such a canvas. Brown, still the most compulsive element of this series and the performer herein with the widest range, in large part made season one for fulfilling the typical villain focus.
No she’s not the bad guy and yes we had the Demogorgon and those most excellent shady Government-types (Cary Elwes, wasted as Hawkins’ very generic corrupt Mayor, just pales in comparison), yet our introduction to Eleven and how her character played out then, that which motivated her still unclear, is alike and too an inversion of how we might be treated to a new big bad. Such a focus on her or any other character being bereft from ensuing seasons, in no small part due to bringing in several more fairly excellent gang members, the scariest things in seasons two and three sadly don’t build at all on season one’s Demogorgon.
Sure we are treated to more of them, but Aliens, Alien 3 etc, as entertaining as they were, never bore the contemplative horror of the original; so similar to that lifeblood which first made this show such a hit and which the Duffer Brothers with but allusions thereof here evidently hoped would sustain Stranger Things. With the pivot to repetitive action, many or bigger monsters and that increasingly theatrical without being very new, none of the numerous Demogorgon-esque encounters and finales Eleven later faces are nearly so memorable as that penultimate, eerie face-off in season one absolutely billowing with character and apparent symbolism rather than just, well, gore.
Further to the matter of derivation, there’s no better place to start than that finale which is now the first of three ‘we have to close the rift I wonder if we will all get out alive’ cliffhangers. Yeah we all kind of knew Eleven would come back but given how well it was staged it remains the last time in this series where it felt as if main characters could actually be expended. A year later when she literally just walked back into the room, we figured our main crew won’t be going anywhere. The death of Sean Astin’s Bob (strangely similar to the death of Astin’s character in season five of 24), sad as it was, was that of a minor character only recently introduced. And no this author has not forgotten Barb, but Shannon Purser got more screen time in her minor role in Riverdale than she ever got in Hawkins.
This brings us to Hopper’s ‘death.’ Not only do we never see him die, but the setup is near identical to Eleven’s apparent demise at the end of season one and will leave most viewers with a Jon Snow level of suspense. It’s not too terrible to hang things on a faux tragedy yet it is moreover when we and the characters are subjected to a letter, by Hopper, affirming that ‘hurt is good’ and we need such hurt in our lives to ‘grow as people.’ This author welcomes being proven wrong and the series following through on its conclusion, though too given Harbour’s popularity this is unlikely to happen. The post-credits sequence, far from a concrete clue as to Hopper’s return, is very entertaining and should not be skipped over.  
On the matter of Hopper, much of his exceptional and very sincere characterisation in the first two seasons is sacrificed, as Brett Gelman’s character (what is he even doing here) annoyingly points out, so petty feuding, passing gags and outlandishly outsized jokes can transpire. Hopper’s final moments in this season, had they otherwise been grounded in a consistent treatment of his character, might have had that much more impact.
Dacre Montgomery’s Billy gets a bit of a redemption arc but not one that nearly so accounts for nor emerges resonant in light of his pretty brutal characterisation in season two. A lot of mainstays here have had a rough go of it, most didn’t turn out like Billy. To this end his depiction as the season’s primary sex symbol is not mildly discomforting.
The team members meld beautifully and reliably so, with Gaten Matarazzo and Joe Keery joyously getting an eight-episode stretch to play off each other and share the Farrah Fawcett spray after the Producers realised their dynamic, and Steve’s excellent here continuing character arc, were the best things about season two. Maya Hawke, the finest new addition by far, has a most exceptional future ahead of her. Amidst it all, Andrey Ivchenko – well, had Arnold Schwarzenegger been at all convincing in Red Heat we might there have too ended up with something like this.
Abounding this time around with references to undead classics, Jurassic Park, Goldeneye and, quietly, Tomorrow Never Dies, it will take deserved repeat watches to unpack every tid-bit of what is despite its flaws and a drop in quality in later seasons still, given its cast and storytelling bona fides, one of the very best things on TV right now.
Stranger Things is now streaming on Netflix

Important Payday Loan Tips You Should Follow
TIP! If you are thinking about getting a payday loan, have a repayment plan before you close the deal. The interest rate associated with a payday loan is high which can result in significant costs if not paid back promptly.
Cash advances have an undeserved stigma attached to them. Despite their bad reputation, people get these loans because they need them. In certain situations, a payday loan can be the right choice. Would you like to learn more details? Keep reading to learn more.
TIP! Ask bluntly about any hidden fees you’ll be charged. You never know what someone may charge you unless you ask and you are clear about what you want to know.
Do some shopping around in order to get the best rates. Along with traditional payday lenders, a lot of lenders can be located online. Gaining your business is their goal, which means they focus on price. A few payday lenders will reduce the fees for those borrowing for the first time. Do your research and compare lenders before you decide on one.
Payday Loan
TIP! Before entering into a loan agreement, check out your payday loan company with your local Better Business Bureau. You will be able to see information about the company’s reputation, and if they have had any complaints against them.
Before making the decision to take out a payday loan, spend some time looking at all of your other options. Most other financing options are less expensive than a payday loan. If you can get a traditional line of credit, you will pay far less in interest in the long run.
TIP! There are several companies that you can use to get a payday loan. It’s likely that you feel extremely stressed out and want money as fast as possible.
Don’t arrive at a payday lender empty-handed. You need to give them several different peices of information to get the loan. You may need several current pay stubs, valid identification and proof of your bank account. The things you need might not be the same depending on the company. Call them before you go in to see what they need you to bring in.
TIP! A lot of companies that offer payday loans make sure their agreements protect them, the lender, in case of a dispute. Payday loans are not discharged due to bankruptcy.
Make sure you know the terms of a loan before you sign for it. Most companies require you to demonstrate a steady employment history, generally in the range of 3-6 months. They want to make sure they can count on you to pay the money back.
TIP! Keep an eye out for scammers when looking for a payday loan. There are some who merely pretend to offer payday loans when they are actually trying to get your personal information so that they have access to your account and take your money.
Many payday loan companies will make the customer sign an agreement that will protect the lender in any dispute. The loan amount cannot be discharged in a borrower’s bankruptcy. Their contracts also contain indemnification or forced arbitration clauses that limit a borrower’s ability to sue in court.
If you plan on applying online, only apply through the actual company. You will find many sites that attempt to match your information with a lender.
TIP! When going to see a payday loan lender, be sure that you have the proper documents, like proof that you work and something that proves your age. You must have a steady income and be over the age of eighteen in order to take out a payday loan.
Keep your account filled with enough money to actually pay back the loan. If you miss your payments, the company will still attempt to collect what is owed to them. You may be charged a fee if you don’t have enough in your bank account, which means that your payday loan will cost you even more. Make sure you have the money and pay the loan.
Term Loan
TIP! Always take your time to find the best offer when seeking a payday loan. Make a comparison between online lenders and brick and mortar ones, only choosing the one offering the most favorable terms.
These days, payday advances are everywhere; there are new offices opening all the time. You need to be aware of what a payday loan entails before you get it, it is a loan for a small amount and it is a short term loan that you do not need good credit for. It is a very short-term loan. Because the terms of these loans are so brief, usually interest rates are outlandishly high. But in true emergency situations, these loans can be helpful.
TIP! Take a minute to think through the consequences before taking a payday loan. Know what your interest rate is.
Using the information you’ve learned from this article, you can make an intelligent decision about whether or not you should get a payday loan. Use this information to help yourself get out debt. Do not stress out over payday advances. You should now be prepared to make smart decisions.
