USSEEWA (うっせぇわ)

 USSEEWA (うっせぇわ)




Before we talk about the song let us talk about the person behind the song first.

    Ado is a Japanese singer born on October 24, 2002, and is currently 19. Ado just within the age of 17 made her debut with the digital single "Usseewa" which peaked as the number 1 song on Billboard Japan Hot 100 and reached 100 million plays just within 17 weeks and is the sixth fastest and the youngest for a solo singer (Wikipedia). Ado has actually a pretty mysterious background and before she became a singer for a company she used to sing Vocaloid songs and was a utaite though she still does Vocaloid covers her original music tend to get more views.

    Now we shall actually talk about the song in question "Usseewa". Usseewa is basically a song about Japanese society and how society wants people to act a certain way and how the customs and societal standards pressure her and just wants to break the mold. Usseewa is basically a response to Japanese society and how individualism is looked down upon and it is best to not stand out and just be normal and be like everyone else. And due to that Usseewa gained quite a bit of controversy in Japan and made quite a ruckus and especially with the profanities in the song.


    Honestly, the song is quite nice, and especially with Ado's voice which is more on the harsher side or whatever the terminology is, I'm not a musical guy. I think the song also is a wake-up call to some Japanese people especially the younger ones who want to feel freer, be themselves, and break the mold created by harsh Japanese societal standards which is less on individualism and more on society as a whole. The song also slaps even if you are unaware of the context behind the music and the controversies behind it, a song is a song no matter how bad the singer's past or not we can all learn to appreciate good music. Though it helps to know the context of songs, it makes you appreciate the music more like Ruru's song which also hits quite hard if you know the context. Well that's it I hope you enjoy the song and do not feel like your time is wasted.

Egg Shell Mosaic Sun Art This is my mosaic sun art.      The size of my output is of a short bond paper as it is small enough so that I can fill it with egg shells, small enough to consume less time but big enough to be seen. The choice of  color of my output is bright in color and uses the  color palette of the sky including hte sun. The coloring material I used to primarily color the sun is yellow and orange poster paint and the rest of the outside parts are painted using sky blue, dark blue, and green water color.     My artwork was actually inspired by ancient greek mosaic the difference is that the ancient greek ones have much more effort put into them unlike mine which took only 4-6 hours. Though even though I said it is inspired by greek mosaic the sun part was really modern.       It may look really easy and simple to do at first glance, well because it is . Egg shell mosaics are not that hard actually it might seem hard at frst because of all the egg shells. But it actually re

Day-Off Aktibidad ni Luke Xander V. Julve      Sa panahon ngayon na covid lahat tayo sa bahay lang tayo at hindi masyadong lumabas. So ngayon buong araw ra tayo nag laro sa computer, cellphone at nag search lang ra po sa internet. Maraming mga kabataan ngayon hindi gumawa ng mga maraming na pisikal na aktibidad at nag tutok lang sa internet at ang mga nanay at mga yaya o mga care taker ra ang gumawa sa lahat ng bahay.      So para matulong natin at para mag bigay ng salamat sa kanila ako po ay gumawa ng Day-off na akitbidad at bibigyan nakin sila ng day off para din po kita ay marunong paano gumawa ng mga anong ginawa nila.       Sa video na ito ang ginawa ko po ay ang pag hose sa mga tanim para ang mga tanim po ay hindi ma wala ng tubig dahil po kahit November meron pang mga oras na mainit ang araw.

Pagiging tao o pagiging makatao

  "Pagiging tao o pagiging makatao"      Pagiging tao at pagiging makatao dalawang mga parirala na parang parehas ang pakiramdam. Pero ang kahulugan sa dalawa ay iba ang una po ay pagiging tao nanganghulugang kung ano ang ibig sabihin nito  at ang ikadalawa ang pagiging makatao ang pagiging makatao ay isang tao na tumulong nang ibang tao parang ang pagiging tao ay is to be human at ang pagiging makatao ay parang humanitarian.           At sa dalawa ito piliin ko po ano ang mas madali magawa nakin. Sa tunay para sa akin ang magiging tao ay mas madali kumpara sa pagiging makatao hindi ko sabi na hindi aka makagawa nang mga makatao na mga bagay wala lang pong akong pera at kayamanan para gumawa nang iyang at kapag meron ako gagawin ko. Ang magagawa ko po sa sitwasyon ngayon estyudante po ako ay mag bigay nang 20 or ano man sa mga limos so para sa akin mas mahirap ito.           Pero kapag sinabi mo na pagiging tao mas madali po iyan dahil mga gusto nakin iyan at ang mga gusto ko
