250 Songs!!

Hello everyone. So it seems I've been dead for a while, and yes that's pretty much true.

Alright, so I wasn't exactly dead, but I've been in a drought period for a while because I've been pretty busy with classes as usual. I did manage to have a productive spurt between February and March, but once April hit my classwork became more difficult and I had to spend more time working on projects. A good thing to note though is that with my sacrifice of new lyric additions, I was able to achieve a 4.0 GPA this semester!! Yeaahh, I feel so pro now!!! Hopefully now that it's summer I will be able spend some more time adding lyrics again!

Now let's move on to some website news. First of all, I've now achieved a whopping 250 songs!! Hey, so maybe that's not so much, but it sets me halfway to 500 and a quarter of the way to 1,000. It is indeed a milestone at my speed anyway, heh. The 250th song happens to be my favorite song from STEREOPONY, "I do it," yay! I swear it wasn't completely intentional. Also, remember in my last post some time ago when I mentioned something new changes to the site? I'm thinking I'll start implementing those changes around the 500th song or so, because by then the lyric lists will be pretty long.

Next up I have some more secret changes to announce; as in things I didn't mention before but threw in anyway because I thought you wouldn't notice! If you check out the panels on the right side, you might see a new box titled "Project Status." Yep, now you can see what I'm working on...sort of. A while ago I was just adding random songs and occasionally an album here and there when I felt like it, but recently I've decided to start adding full albums and singles at one time. That's usually because when I receive a new album it sits on my desk for a while before I put it away, and when it's there I might as well get those lyrics added. Also, whenever I have a new album, I'm sure people would want those lyrics to be added as soon as possible anyway. I'll still add random songs every now and then, but I'll mainly focus on the albums.

Alright, back to the box. I decided to go with four listings for my project statuses. First will be my most recently completed albums/singles. Next will be any current projects that I'm working on. Then, a list of the future projects I intend to work on after the current projects are completed. And finally, the last section, although less related to project status will list my newest additions to the My Collection page. Except for the newest additions section, the other sections will probably only list about one or two albums at a time. Hopefully this new panel will give any viewers an idea of what I'm working on and what to expect next from me. Requests are of course still welcome and I will list them in the Project Status box as well.

One final change is a little restructure I made to the My Collection page. I basically just swapped positions between the track listings and the album photos. Track lists are now on the left and photos are on the right. I had to change this because STEREOPONY's BEST of STEREOPONY album has 19 tracks and I had a difficult time getting the track list to sit correctly in the old format. A simple switch was all I needed, and it fits fine now. So far, this change was only implemented on the Japanese albums sections. The other sections remain unchanged, but may be changed as well in the future.

Before I wrap up, here's a list of the new additions to the My Collection page added since the last update. (Even though I have the "Project Status" box now, I'll still make a list here because it'll be more permanent.):

m.o.v.e - Best moves. ~and move goes on~ (3CD Edition) (album)
ONE OK ROCK - Jinsei Kakete Boku wa (album)
STEREOPONY - BEST of STEREOPONY (album)
STEREOPONY - Hitohira no Hanabira (single)

Sorry for that post being super long this time. I'll try to be away less so that I will have fewer things to talk about next time. Thanks for reading, and please bear with me as I try to get things rolling again. じゃ またね！
