Fabian had a broken link so it was a bit of messing around to get to his chosen video. What he wanted to show us was an amazing piece of software called MMD. No, I don’t what it is nor how it does what it does. What I can do is tell you that you will be very surprised to see what it is capable of doing. Your jaw may well drop at how close this software is able to somehow mimic KT performing. But, enough of me, let me share with you the same video that Fabian linked to but this time I have dropped off the explanation at the start so the video will take you right to the best of the clip, KT performing but how you have never seen them perform before. Trust me, even if you don’t enjoy it, you should see just how this software works. It really is amazing. https://youtu.be/TjZopk3CC3Q?t=156

MMD is an acronym for Miku Miku Dance. It was introduced in 2008. It was originally used as a place to create and animate 3d movies using the 3d model of Hatsune Miku. Please check out MMD on YouTube or search it up on Google for a better explanation!

There are some great pics on Suzuka’s Instagram account. To one of the band, she writes “It was the happiest time I have ever lived”. And to one of an elementary school, she says “This is a picture of when I was in 6th grade in 2013, when I was playing the euphonium. We received the national gold medal!” https://www.instagram.com/suzukakurisu/

Hello! It may be nice to make, either in a new section or add it to the alumni activities, a list of livestreams and apps that the alumnae are using right now! Suzuka (Palinpu) and Yuina are livestreaming as a means to earn a bit for themselves, more so for Suzuka who’s streaming so she can go back to the US to study (though I am not quite sure about this).
Suzuka’s Streams: https://17.live/profile/r/13308347
Yuina’s Streams: https://www.mildom.com/profile/11579548 | https://17.live/profile/r/395395 | she uses two other livestream accounts but I can’t access them yet!

Thank You for the information Paul-san. Links added here and here. Best would be to drop a note at the Fan Corner when there is a scheduled live stream so people can join the show.
