ABEATC “LOSING YOU” FEATURING STEMILYN

Posted by & filed under Music.

Music is a universal language. Or so musicians like to claim. “With music,” they’ll say, “you can communicate across cultural and linguistic boundaries in ways that you can’t with ordinary languages like English or French.” Apart from singing high pitch tone to screaming beatboxing is an early form of vocal percussion which has been around even before the golden age hiphop. It is a storied artform that by right shouldn’t be relegated to mere novelty. Today, one of Malaysia’s better-known beatboxers, ABeatC, is looking to cross that barrier with his full-fledged beatbox single title “Losing You” featuring Stemilyn.

From what ABeatC says the songs is actually about reflective of a depressive phase most would go through in modern life, “to ride the emotional roller coaster while society and reality breathes down your neck, it’s suffocating and deafening at the same time, unable to express or share your burden, we’re eaten and tortured from the inside.”

The video really compliment the mood of the song where it portray its moody neon-lit music video that’s seemingly focused on ABeatC’s expressive eyes, that statement certainly rings true.

Without further ado, click on ABeatC video on the above.

MASSES PICK: 5 ANIME YOU AND FRIENDS SHOULD WATCH

Posted by & filed under Entertainment, TV.

Sharing is caring, which is exactly why we tend to try and turn the people we care about into anime fans. It may be simple enough to show them whatever gateway anime you can get your hands on and hope it will stick, but we find that it’s better to cater your choice to what they already enjoy: Western tv series!

Even if the series sometimes originate a whole ocean away, anime and the most popular forms of media can share common themes, characters, and settings. Keep these anime in mind the next time your friends or family gush over their favorite fandoms.

 

 1.  Walking Dead (Kabaneri of the Iron Fortress)

Straight out the gate there are plenty of similarities with The Walking Dead. Both depict a world overrun by the living dead (Zombies) and the remaining humans struggling to survive the flesh hungry monsters. They also focus on a group of weary travelers going from place to place in a desperate attempt to find safety only for that safety to eventually crumble against the ravenous hordes. Neither shies away from the graphic depiction of fighting the undead and their often gory and sad outcomes.

Though, what seems to be a common theme in each show (and most zombie related media) is that, ironically enough, the most dangerous thing in a zombie apocalypse are other humans. Both have their fair share of human antagonists that prove far more deadly and devious than their undead counterparts.

 

Doctor Who (Steins;Gate)

Steins;Gate offers timey-wimey nonsense in droves. Both offer a look at how changes in the timeline can have unintended and sometimes tragic effects to the world and its characters. Okabe is also as eccentric as any Doctor in the Doctor Who universe. Suffering from a rather amusing case of chuunibyou, which makes him prone to over-dramatic gestures and crack-pot conspiracy theory talk, and like any good Doctor, he is entertaining to watch.

Beyond all that, Doctor Who and Steins;Gate live and die on the relationship between the main character and the deuteragonist. Kurisu and Okabe’s relationship starts as a series of snide remarks and several attempts to one-up each other, but eventually develops into a bond that is as witty and deep as any relationship between the Doctor and his many assistants.

 

The Big Bang Theory? (Genshiken)

Do you want a show that focuses on the interpersonal relationships of a bunch of nerds while they revel in their geeky hobbies? Where there is a relatively “normal girl” that pursues a romantic relationship with one of the geeks and serves as a foil for the rest of the cast? Did I just describe Genshiken? Well, I also described The Big Bang Theory.

A suggestion for your more “open-minded” friends because Genshiken digs deep into otaku culture and even mentions the more controversial parts of the fandom. Regardless, the shows have surprisingly similar beats, even if I may garner some Internet hate for saying so. Including a character that is awkward around pretty girls (Madarame and Raj), having the “normal girl” cosplay for an event (Saki and Penny), and several other beats that go into spoiler territory.

Star Wars (Outlaw Star)

Imagine if Star Wars focused on Han Solo instead, and his space adventures as a smuggler, wheeling and dealing his way to galactic savior. Doesn’t that sound badass? Gene Starwind is a fast talker that is always looking for a big score and relies on his ship to do a lot of dirty work. At his helm, James Hawkings combines the loyalty of Chewbacca with the technical know-how of R2D2. Joining them is Aisha Clan-Clan who is the muscle of the group, part of a proud alien race, and is Outlaw Star’s Chewbacca stand in, albeit a catgirl version of him. Twilight Suzuka is a swordswoman that fights with a wooden sword capable of slicing metal or smashing concrete using “The Force” which what the refer to “Mysticism”. Lastly, we can all admit that Melfina is steps above C-3PO.

Honestly, who isn’t a Star Wars fan? For those that long for a space opera that features sword fights, blaster fire and a young man starting from humble beginnings to chase after the shadow of his father, Outlaw Star is a fun 24-episode romp.

 

West World (TriGun, Ghost In The Shell, Cowboy Bebop)

It’s hard to make a 1:1 comparison to West World. There’s a lot of moving parts that make the story a well-oiled machine full of drama, suspense, and action. Still, that doesn’t mean we can’t break things down to try and find a few anime to recommend.

If they liked the western and sci-fi setting, try Trigun: What starts as a space western eventually turns into a morality debate between Vash the Stampede and several assassins sent after him. Shoot outs, sci-fi super weapons, dusty old saloons, and more are present in the series. If that is up their alley, introduce your friends and family to the 60 billion double-dollar man.

If they enjoyed the philosophical debate between what constitutes human and machine, try Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex: It’s far more cyberpunk than it is western, but what SAC lacks in setting it makes up for in themes. In the far future where technology has advanced to the point where humans can have their whole body replaced with machine parts, and AI has advanced to the point where they are near indistinguishable from humans, what exactly does it mean to be human? This police procedure takes on this question and more.

If they enjoyed the mature characters, then how about Cowboy Bebop: If you are going to offer them a recommendation, it might as well be one of the best gateway anime of all time. The cast of Cowboy Bebop is wonderfully complex and deeply flawed. Gone are the bright-eyed and hopeful teenagers of current anime, and instead we have world-weary adults that are often haunted by their past. Including an ending that still has people talking to this day, it’s hard to go wrong with Cowboy Bebop.

Well that’s all for today list of our top pick. if you have anything to share with us be sure to give us a suggestion on our comment section below.

Nike Just Dropped Two Pairs In The #BREAKING2 Colourway

Posted by & filed under Sneakers.

Fast is the focus with the launch of these two pairs of training and racing shoes that are designed to meet the needs of every runner — from running a full on marathon to those who just want to log their best miles on the weekends. The pack features the Zoom Fly, Nike’s fastest everyday shoe and the Air Zoom Pegasus 34, a secure and light running shoes that cater to quick everyday training.

The Zoom Fly pair features a Flywire-reinforced lightweight upper, which will keep the runner’s feet locked-in even as he/she is picking up speed. The upper sits atop a lightweight and soft Lunarlon foam midsole, that provides a highly responsive cushioning thanks to the carbon-infused nylon plate housed in the midsole. The plate delivers a propulsive sensation to the wearer as he runs.

As for the Air Zoom Pegasus 34, the pair features an updated Flymesh upper is made of lightweight translucent monofilament yarn that contains the foot but allows for ventilation. The upper sits atop a premium cushion ST Foam that also houses the Zoom Air Unit on the forefoot. The radiused heel tapers on the lateral side to promote a natural strike.

Both pairs are decked out in the #BREAKING2 colourways, which was the theme for Nike’s attempt at breaking the 2 hour mark for a full marathon.

The Nike Air Zoom Pegasus 34 is now available at Nike KLCC, Nike Pavilion and Nike Mid Valley store with a retail price of RM439, while the Nike Zoom Fly will be retailing at RM589 and is only available on Nike.com.

NOT JUST ONE THING: Noh Salleh

Posted by & filed under Lifestyle, Music, Sneakers.

The next instalment of our NOT JUST ONE THING Series, we feature the one and only Noh Salleh, the frontman of rock outfit Hujan Band, one of Malaysia’s biggest bands around. In this video Noh tells us that even in music, we can’t just stick to one genre or one type of sound, because the world of music have so much to offer, so many different sounds, different genres, and it would be waste to just enjoy only one type of it.

Watsons Malaysia Could Have Possibly Released The Worst Raya Video Of All Time

Posted by & filed under Lifestyle.

The caption on Watsons Malaysia’s Facebook Page says “There’s no tale more EPIC than Legenda Cun Raya Watsons!” and indeed this is one pretty “epic” video. The production value looks pretty big, with a star studded cast featuring Malaysia’s biggest stars including Uqasha Senrose, Kamal Adli, Raja Ilya, Ruhainies, Sasha Saidin, Amber Chia, Thanuja, Alvin Chong and more, but the whole video is pretty much cringe worthy, and the ending is one huge epic screw-up that screams racism all over it.

Epic Fail would best describe the video.

But don’t just take our word for it, check it out yourself. And if you’re free and waiting to berbuka, do check out the comments section on Watsons Malaysia’s FB Page for some added entertainment.

UPDATE: The video got taken down by Watsons Malaysia because of too much backlash. Here is their official statement about the video:

Watsons Malaysia is aware of the post that has been made viral on social media.

A post on 7th June 2017 regarding a video by Watsons talks about the legend of Dayang Senandong. The Legend of Dayang Senandong is a Malay folklore about a lady who was born cursed with black skin but blessed with a beautiful voice. The legend depicts that the king fell in love with Dayang Senandong because of her voice and inner beauty. The curse was lifted after Dayang Senandong gave birth to the king’s child.

We stand firm on the belief that unity and fairness plays an important role, and we respect people from all nationalities. The video was shot to highlight the Legend and its moral values of inner beauty and that true love exists. We are sorry that some of our fans feel offended by the video which was not our intention. We take feedback from our fans seriously.

Your continued support will be greatly appreciated and any feedbacks from you will help in improving our services.

Maaf Zahir dan Batin.

Thank you.

Eventhough the video got taken down by the official Watsons Malaysia account, thankfully the Rakyat Post managed to get the footage and reupload it on Facebook again.
