Initial D 4th Stage comments... - Archive Topic (Locked)
CooBlueDAB:
lets stay on topic people...
but on the music... It isnt popular just because it is played a lot. It was marketed as the best, and the newest hot thing... It has nothing to do with what people actually think. I suck, but if I was gullable, a record company would make me the next big thing... and no would think twice because I would have been already set as the best in someone's eyes... false advertising....

Ouch... Can we please not flame each other? There's no reason to insult anyone's intelligence based on his/her music preferences. (I LOVE Eurobeat myself, and I hold a Master's degree in Computational Chemistry.) Your statement about buying a Japanese PS2 (when you can much more easily buy a region-free DVD player or adjust your DVD-ROM drive's settings) and your improper use of commas in the second sentence don't do much for my impression of you, either.

This may have been ok when the series first started but at this point it does not fit the series. IF you havent noticed the euro- beat sound is slowly being phased out of the Japanese version in favor of a hip hop/ rock style.

Actually, I think it's only rock - I haven't noticed much of a hip-hop influence in the ID4S music (but then, I don't really understand what "hip-hop" is anyway). And it's not that "they" are phasing out Eurobeat at all -- Eurobeat *itself* is evolving, retaining its electronica roots while adapting rock sounds to fit within that framework. Just check out any of the recent Super Eurobeat compilations - it's still Eurobeat, but with a new sound.
kansai22:
You ask where the hip hop is in Initial D. In the opening and closing themes half the lyrics are rapped. As I said before Hip hop and Nu Jazz and huge in Japan. ( Dabo, Soul out, Crystal Kay, M-Flo Jazztronik, Kyoto Jazz Massive, Dj Krush ect.
I only flamed him because of his racist statement. Any individual that would make such a statement clearly is not the most intelligent person; and more than likely part of an under class of America such as trailer trash.
Now you ask why I advised him to purchase a Japanese PS2 verses getting a region free DVD player. First he could use the PS2 to play Japanese games as well as movies. Second I have not seen very many high quality region free players. I have a separate Japanese DVD player and a JP PS2. You ask why not change computer DVD regional setting; I have a 110 inch screen with a Qualia 004 projector, every TV in my house is 50 inches or larger except the exercise room and kitchen. Do you really believe I want to watch on my pc screen?
Moving on to a new topic I really enjoy Live- Evils subs because my Japanese is not at the level where I can catch most of the dialog watching through the first time. Keep up the good work guys.

hmmm with cash like that its a wonder you didnt get s-video and hook your pc up to a 50 inch tv? what do you do for a living? and please stop being so judgemental, i know you only did it because blah blah blah, but by doing it your no better than he was for making the comment.

You'll be pleased to know that the translator finished translating by 17+18 today so the subbing process is now underway.
No guarentees will be made about time taken to complete the whole process.
