Patreon Extra's 12/14/2025 (Patreon)

Hola Familia!

I’m coming in really late today! I’m sorry. My brain is trying really hard to do things because I KNOW there is only one week left of school! I need a break. I only get 2 weeks off, but at least that’s something I guess! I am going to shut up now!

It’s music time!

BAND-MAID Sunday:

It’s time for “DICE!” It’s been a really long time since I’ve seen listened to this song or have seen the music video, so I am excited to jump back into this with a different video for YouTube and because this isn’t my first time reacting and listening to this song, I want to share this score study on Patreon for FREE for EVERYONE! I haven’t seen the OLV of the Maid’s performance of “DICE” and “Different” so we will be doing that on YouTube this Sunday! Let’s GOOOO!

PATREON Extras - patreon.com/nittpiccreacts

K-Pop Exploration of the following artists:

Taeyeon - When We Were Young

Ailee ft. Youngji - Bang Bang

Lena Park - Chandelier

These artists were suggested to me over on the Patreon discord by Eaglez1 and I said why not dive into all these performances. I have a very limited view of the Korean music scene so why not check them all out? Hopefully you’ll join me for the ride!

School of Fish - 3 Strange Days

A PANIC suggestion incoming! From what I understand is this band lost out in the “AAR” or “appearance approval” war when sent to the approver. I was also told that this group sounds similar to another band called Collective Soul. Now...don’t hate me. It took me a few minutes and a quick Google search to make sure I knew what Collective Soul sounded like. I discovered that I knew their music but not their name. I am excited to check out this band that was lost to time!

BAND-MAID - “DICE,” score analysis & Yokohama Arena 10th Anniversary Tour 2023

This is the final song of our score journey is “DICE,” and you know how I feel about score study! I cannot wait to see what all I can find within the score and of course just getting the opportunity to see into Kanami’s musical mind. With the live, I was told that there is a cool Misa bass intro to this. Is there anymore I need to say about this live performance? Teehee!

ANIME Reactions:

Sound! Euphonium - Season 3, Ep. 7

This episode was nice to see where the girls were taking 3 days off for summer break and during that time Kumiko had a moment to get to know Mayu. Mayu is a good person btu sometimes her persona confuses me with her sweet outside appearance and her communication skills with the other band mates. She has me on my toes...

The Apothecary Diaries - Season 1, Ep. 13

The new music, the new intro, the new ending...It feels like we are starting a new season here! We even got a recap of of a little bit of the story before. Anyway, Maomao is going to work in the outer court now since she can no longer work in the rear palace. She has a lot to learn about her new position and there are a lot of new eyes on her.

K-On! - Season 2, Ep. 7

As much as Mio doesn’t enjoy being the center of attention, it was really sweet of her to let the band host a Tea Party even though she fought against it. The Mio Fan Club seemed to really enjoy getting to see Mio talk to the group even though she was adorably awkward. The song “Pure Pure Heart” I believe was such a good song. I really enjoyed it!

I hope you don’t mind my mindless complaints as of late. If I am honest with all of you, the last few years have been hard with teaching in general. Students feel different. The education system is VERY different and...well, it feels like I have to give everything I am to my students and it can feel like I have nothing left for myself at the end of the day. Oh well...I love teaching, but it’s nice to have this space to just talk about music and play for you all. I’ll leave it there!

I hope you are all well!

Con Amor,💜NittPicc💜
