"See what I mean?"
I see that even though Kwan's voice has more innocence than Yeung's, Kwan still has a hint of maturity compared to Fan's who sounds like she retained it from childhood. That gives me a thought. Vocal training and care should not try to change one's voice or 'improve' it, but to prevent damage to their current voice. On the other hand, could her vegetarianism be the reason for her voice?
"Kudo responded deftly with a single whose A-side demonstrated that she could beat the dance-freaks at their own speciality any day she wanted to:
...
more importantly whose B-side pointed back to what truly timeless music sounds like:"
Though Kudo's A-side was more organic than Amuro's song while still being danceable, we can judge the emotion of the B-side better since it does not have an added dance beat.
"since you like energetic dance songs, what do you think of the following two (rivalling) grand collaborations?"
I remember when you posted it when you were contrasting them to K-pop music. Here's my comment on them. Along with the first song, 'Wou Bom Ba', the vibe felt more casual and day-like than the dance songs by Amuro and Kwok. The video also suits the song. D&D also feels more casual for dance music. Why is that?
As for the second song 'Ai Qing Shang Lian La La La', it was more casual and organic and had more emotion than the first one.
Here is something else I thought. Similar to how ballads are more timeless than dance songs, acoustic music is also more timeless than electronic music. I do not know how fair it is to judge instrumentation since all instruments have their individualities, but electronic instruments needs more energy and thus being more complex and with less quality than acoustic instruments. Post-Renaissance instruments like the harpsichord and piano are also less convenient than pre-Renaissance instruments. I assume instruments like the harp also became heavy and inconvenient by the Renaissance. The DAWless trend uses electronic instruments that are smaller and more convenient, which probably explained the Synth-pop movement of the 1980s:
The emergence of synth-pop has been described as "perhaps the single most significant event in melodic music since Mersey-beat". By the 1980s synthesizers had become much cheaper and easier to use. After the definition of MIDI in 1982 and the development of digital audio, the creation of purely electronic sounds and their manipulation became much simpler. Synthesizers came to dominate the pop music of the early 1980s, particularly through their adoption by bands of the New Romantic movement.
So in order for a culture to happen, it must be accessible. It is a part of:
