The unspoken metaphysical axiom of romantic storytelling is that
there is precisely one person out there that you are meant to be
with, and you either find them or you don't. If you find them,
great! If you don't, at least you can say you waited for them
and thus never betrayed them. The worst thing to do is give up
the wait and settle for someone else, the act of betrayal which
can never be taken back.
(This is in line with Gnosticism, which believes that monads got
split into two pieces by Yahweh prior to being imprisoned in the
material world, each of these half-monads being what we call
souls. Each soul started out trying to find its original
complementary half in order to recombine into a full monad which
can then transcend the material world (provided they do not
reproduce). Duets are the musical representation of this:

/>(and subsequent Duet Month posts))
Almost no one these days believes in this anymore,
unfortunately.....

Takeshi's castle is a Japanese game show that used to be popular
on Indian television:

Not exactly high quality content, but it was a good way to
temporarily escape the misery that was compulsory schooling
during my time in India.

Takeshi's Castle was from the same period. Everything was
looking up back then. TV drama openings captured this mood
perfectly:

It was aired in India during the mid 2000s, more than a decade
after its initial release:

[Quote]
A shortened version of the show aired on the Pogo TV channel
starting from 1 March 2005, with Hindi dubbing by Jaaved
Jaaferi.[12] Jaaved's hilarious commentary made the show an
instant hit, and for a short duration, it also featured guest
voiceovers by Indian comedians Raju Srivastav, Sunil Pal, Navin
Prabhakar, and Ahsaan Qureshi.[13] The show aired on Pogo TV
until 2019.
Amazon Prime Video's 2023 reboot of Takeshi's Castle was
released on 2 November 2023, featuring the voice of Bhuvan Bam
as his character "Titu Mama" from BB Ki Vines, taking over as
the new commentator, replacing Jaaved Jaaferi. Bhuvan spent four
months dubbing and writing the script for the show, with some
promotional videos filmed in September

I didn't even know Hindi at the time but still found the show
enjoyable.

After moving back to the U.S in 2008, was when I really realized
something was fucked up with the world. I remember hearing
Zionist agent Alex Jones on the radio. I also remember being
unable to relate to my peers, who were fans of 3D FPS games such
as COD (Zionist war propaganda), while I was a fan of earlier
Nintendo GameCube games. Only one of my peers was a fan of such
games, so I was able to relate to him. He also introduced me to
the 2D era of Nintendo games, which I wasn't even aware existed
before, which sparked my interest in retro games. Never really
got a chance to get my hands on retro games though, although I
did enjoy some 3rd party flash fanmade games such as super Mario
wars and Mario forever. I also remember watching some Ghibli
films I rented at the library, such as Spirited Away and Castle
in The Sky.

If many people consider this video "cute", they have no empathy.
I'm even can't stand to see it because had it already happened,
empathic living would prevail forever, there would be no
oppression, ruthless competition, and live where belittling each
other still exists...
Western Civilization ruin my entire life

Since you would not post any post-Counterculture music in the
music topic, is it true that Counterculture-influenced
post-Counterculture musicians may surpass
non-Counterculture-influenced musicians of the same time but
gradually loses the quality of a melody (as well as lyrics,
talent, and similar traits of a song/musician) to so called
“quality” of production (as well as trends, marketing, and
similar advantages unrelated to the song/musician)?

"is it true that Counterculture-influenced post-Counterculture

Success is often unrelated to quality, so if by "surpass" you
mean in terms of success, then I would not anticipate a
correlation. If you mean in terms of quality, then of course I
myself am partial to post-Counterculture works that pay
nostalgic tribute to the Counterculture era.
"but gradually loses the quality of a melody (as well as lyrics,

If the intent is sincerely tribute, then the production can be
expected to deliberately avoid overly contemporary elements.
Whereas if the production incorporates these while claiming to
be tribute, I would doubt the sincerity of the claim.
A movie that I consider the best post-Counterculture-era movie
known to me is an overt Counterculture-era tribute:

Not only are almost all the songs from the Counterculture era,
but for marketing they relied on a retro dance tour with local
participation:

What do you think? (Also Aryan phenotype alert.)

“if by "surpass" you mean in terms of success, then I would not

The latter. I agree, and I believe I stand, that it is important
to be skeptical of Counterculture-influenced post-Counterculture
works.
“If the intent is sincerely tribute, then the production can be
expected to deliberately avoid overly contemporary elements.
Whereas if the production incorporates these while claiming to
be tribute, I would doubt the sincerity of the claim.”
“but for marketing they relied on a retro dance tour with local
participation”
So basically pre-internet production/marketing. I can see even
‘Dance With Me’ incorporated minor internet use of marketing as
well as heavy autotune in the production in the song itself. It
seems these days, in order for something to be successful, the
content may always need technology to produce and the internet
to promote.
But from my experience, people do get the best enjoyment when
they are not merely being entertained but spontaneously
contributing.
“Aryan phenotype alert”
She kind of looks like one of the members of Perfume Ōmoto
(though there are more photos of Ōmoto with a heavy jaw
than that of of Miyoshi).
