Phase Connect's NY concert was sticking in my mind for some reason. I felt like I had seen Pippa be more "idol-y" before, then I remembered where. It was in
Nyana's 3D concert three months ago. (Link should be timestamped to Ice Cream Machine at 58:00).
That was a fun stream. Quaint and limited from being an individual's passion project, but it had heart. Skipping around through the vod, I came again upon my favorite performance: J'en Ai Marre sung by Rima Evenstar.
I like this. It's a good, calm yet vibrant sound, and it's a relief from all the generic jpop and overplayed pop songs we usually get
(if I hear "Creep" one more time, I swear to God...). I don't know what the song is about, it just sounds like "ribbit ribbit", and I know exactly nothing about Rima. But this performance will from now on be comfortably nestled in my playlist. I'm just surprised I didn't grab it back when Nyana's concert first aired. Must have been busy.
