Previously, Aiu Ratna was known as someone who

looked really gloomy

Someone who seems tomboyish in nature, sometimes gothic.

Many people said that

I don't talk that much, snobbish, and many more.

I don't laugh too often.

But, as time passes by...

until finally I went to Japan.

Being able to...

experience a lot of exciting things there.

Then, I went back to Indonesia to explore new things.

And finally meeting someone who made me happy.

Now I might look different than before.

Now I'm more...

mature, maybe...

more feminime, unlike before...

and maybe, there will be differences in my musicality.

Right now, I really want to

avoid playing sad songs.

Because, in my experience of playing sad songs...

it seems like there are always sadness which follows.

Things that are unsettling are happening.

So...

in the future...

because I'm happier now.

Now I wanted to play more positive and happier songs. So those who listened aren't always sad and hopeless.

Currently, I can only think about playing songs with positive vibe

with positive lyrics.

Probably with lyrics which is more uplifting.

Because I believe that...

everyone have had their own struggle

love struggle, life struggle, and much more.

But still, we always wanted the happy ending.

Because, who doesn't want to be happy?

The next single probably will...

be a song which I made for the first time...

containing words that are mostly about...

love. A happy love. Not the usual sad kind of love.

As of right now...

I want to always sing happier songs.

With beats, notes, and rhythm that are...

fun to be sung together.

I had lived 4 years in Japan...

I had learned the language, made a lot of friends...

and thankfully, there's Aiushiteru.

Which until now, I still notice sometimes...

they still gave me a 'like' on my photos, videos, or any project that I currently worked on.

In a way, I wanted to repay them somehow.

That's why, on the next project I wanted...

All of my songs to include...

3 languages.

There's Japanese, Indonesian, and English.

Ideally, one song will include 3 languages just like my previous song "Musnah".

Maybe if that's too difficult...

because writing a song with 3 languages is not easy.

Maybe there will be versions.

Different versions. There's Japanese, Indonesian, and English version.

I used to like 'dark' songs.

The early sounds of Sheena Ringo.

There's Korn...

Evanescence...

several emo bands...

I also liked Mr.Big, and even older bands.

That was past me.

As for now...

because I wanted to make positive songs...

happier songs...

it seems like I have to change my mindset.

Starting from the colors

even though I really love black.

but, there should be something which will make the black colorful.

Probably from the treatment of the music video...

or probably from the song itself.

My biggest inspiration is probably still...

pretty much Sheena Ringo.

Because, she seems like she was...

having a gradual change and almost like what I experienced.

Her earlier songs are darker....

then, after Tokyo Jihen she became brighter...

and now even brighter and colorful.

So...

well...

I still like...

basically I like Japanese music, and a lot of the musician there.

In Indonesia, there's one musician I really love following at this time...

which got me inspired by her life...

is a singer with a very different genre than I am...

jazz singer, Andien.

She seems so bright...

seems like her life is so happy.

I wanted...

to be colorful like that, but in a different kind of music and genre as hers.

In this project, compared to previously...

where I had a full team of producer, manager, and else...

there's a lot.

Sound manager, sound producer, and many more.

Compared to now...

I'm going solo...

helped by my husband.

I'm doing this project on my own.

Everything is handled by ourselves and with friends that I chose.

Because if...

previously, in major label or indie label which are not our own

there are always things that are...

not what we wanted, but they stated otherwise.

Sometimes I didn't want a song to be written this way

but, they said it's better like this.

It feels like there's a coercion to it.

but still, for a musician, it's not okay.

What I'm aiming for is actually really high...

but I realized...

because I've just restarted my career...

so...

I can't be too pompous about it

just like when I was in Garasi...

the scale was very big.

Compared to now, to reach that kind of scale is probably difficult

since this is an early stage.

Garasi was also known outside of Indonesia.

The movie was played in Malaysia...

in Japan, India...

in Madrid, Spain, and more...

also Germany.

I wanted to replicate that.

but I realized...

it's difficult if I don't have the link to do that.

hopefully, there will be a way which can get my music to be heard...

outside of Indonesia, especially in Japan.

Because...

Japan is a place which I treated as my second home.

Because I used to lived there...

a lot of my friends are there

lots of Aiushiteru is also there

So, yeah, hopefully...

those wishes came true.

The Great Nara Money Experiment | History of Japan 28 - Duration: 6:46.

Nowadays we all take for granted that you can pay for stuff with bills and coins, but

you know someone had to start that whole system up, right?

And there's no guarantee that things would work out.

In the Nara Period, Japan started making coins for money.

It was a great plan, it was gonna be stable, it was gonna make the government strong,

it was--it,

it failed.

Psst...hey guys, to see more videos like this and help the channel grow, click subscribe

and the bell, it only takes 0.9 seconds.

Thanks.

The next time you're at a cash-only Asian restaurant, frantically digging into your

wallet while muttering something about dirty tax dodgers, remember that paper and coin

money was an outstanding, TREMENDOUS idea back in the day, even though it's a pain

in the ass now.

Also remember that this is how we Asians take over America.

You white people may as well give up now.

You had a good run, let us take over and we'll do math and stuff.

Around the Nara time period, people were mainly using rice and fabrics as currency.

They used other things too, but rice and fabric were the most popular.

Those had problems though.

Rice took up a lot of space.

It could mold, rodents liked to eat it, and you couldn't store it for long, so you had

to spend your rice quickly.

Saving piles of rice for retirement wasn't an option.

Now fabric was...pretty good actually, but it could rip, and get stained, and get eaten

by bugs.

But the main reasons the Japanese Imperial court decided to mint coins was not because

of those issues.

The nobles in court wanted to conserve valuable goods instead of having people use them for

currency, and also they wanted

money money money.

Now if you think it's easy to get people to adopt a coinage system, think again.

In 708, the court released silver and copper coins to the public...

and immediately hit a wall of problems.

The silver coins were a bust.

In the early 700s, silver was rare.

The value of the silver in the coins was likely worth more than the face value of the coins.

But the face value was already too high for normal everyday usage.

Not only that, people immediately made counterfeit coins by mixing in cheaper metals, and the

fake coins began driving the good coins out of circulation.

The government soon admitted defeat and stopped the whole silver coin business.

Copper coins had a much longer run.

This was when the court was moving the capital from Fujiwara to Nara.

Copper coins funded the massive project.

The government put them into circulation by paying the construction workers with copper coins.

They also started paying in coin to government officials and workers on other projects.

Now when you launch a new currency, you want it to circulate.

People hoarding coins kept them out of circulation.

It turned out hoarders were a big problem, because we found a government order condemning

people who hoarded coins, demanding that they return the coins to the government.

To help with this problem, the court allowed people to exchange coins for court ranks,

basically buying government positions.

So things haven't really changed.

Inflation became a huge headache.

At first, it seemed like the copper coins were a major success.

They were worth much more than they took to make, netting huge profits for the Japanese

court.

People at the top were rolling in cash.

It didn't last.

Nature took its course and people started making counterfeit coins.

Think about how hard it was to catch a counterfeiter back in those days.

There were no serial numbers.

If you could replicate a coin, you could introduce it into the economy and it would have been

impossible to trace it back to you.

It would have been hard to even differentiate a real coin from a fake one.

A government document in 760 claimed that half, HALF, of all copper coins were fake.

The fake coins led to inflation.

The government saw this and thought, "Hey, let's make it worse," and made even more coins

faster.

It was too profitable not to.

And then, if that wasn't bad enough, something happened out of nowhere that no one anticipated.

Trump won the election,

no.

Between 735 and 737, a smallpox epidemic hit Japan, killing one-fourth to one-third of

the population.

Such a deadly plague deserves more discussion, but since we're just talking economics at

the moment, we'll just ignore all the death, destruction, and suffering.

The sudden drop in workers caused havoc in the supply chain and resulted in temporary

shortages of food and goods, driving up prices and inflation.

That was only temporary though.

In the wake of the smallpox epidemic, after the initial shortages, things were pretty

good.

Economically.

A bunch of people were still dead.

Which was a good thing.

Economically.

You see, being dead meant you didn't need to buy things.

And there were a lot of dead people who didn't buy things.

It drove down the demand for goods, allowing the high inflation to subside.

But then the court ran into another problem.

Having so many taxpayers die really hurt tax revenue.

They tried to counter this in a few ways.

They started offering government loans, which helped, but wasn't enough.

Then in 760, they minted another copper coin at a higher value.

Unfortunately, in an attempt to reap the prolific profits of the past, they made this coin 10

times the value of the previous one.

Inflation again skyrocketed, and didn't stop.

Over the next two centuries, they kept minting different coins at higher and higher values.

The coins kept getting smaller and contained lesser amounts of copper.

It was a mess.

In the 900s, the court finally said, "We give up,"

and stopped the coinage effort.

The government began paying in commodities again, like rice.

There were other factors that led to this, of course, but the mess they had with coins

was a big factor.

And so, the great Nara money experiment failed.

Japan didn't use coins again until much later.

Now just because they had to stop making coins doesn't mean the whole endeavor was a waste.

In fact, it was extremely profitable for the aristocracy in the Nara Period.

It swelled the Imperial court's wealth and funded many government projects,

including the Nara capital itself.

So if you look at it from the perspective of the people at the top, the whole thing

turned out pretty well.

Walking in Akishima - Japan - Duration: 25:27.

Did you turn them on???

Hello?

Is this thing on?

Hello! It's Mashu and I'll be your random commentor!

We decided we really wanted to make a long----

---walking video while we went to a supermarket.

And boy was it far away without our bicycles, lol.

I really like the different styles of houses in this area.

<--- that one is a little scary though...

SUDDEN TURN!!!

We weren't 100% sure how to get there on foot.

Random car park for these houses.

<---- that bike would have been stole anywhere else in the world....

Don't worry, by the way, we looked both ways before crossing the roads :P

It's RINA!!

I'm still addicted to how Japan looks---

---even after all this time.

We were going to not add music and just---

leave the sounds of Japan. But---

--it was so windy and we were talking about weird things

---Like why Moka eats her poop.. ^^")

Is that someone's bed hanging over the railing?

So Japanese @w@)

Rina at this point was telling me about how all ----

-- her friends learned piano around this area, but---

--not from the same teacher!

even though they were all so close to each other.

Did you hear about the crook who stole a calendar??

.. He got twelve months x3

Bad joke? sorry.

I wonder what is in their basket?

Maybe a puppy? :3

You can't see us in the mirror, because we are vampires.

So many little side roads.

That bike is bigger than her...

I wonder if these trees are cherry blossoms?

I mean the normal ones, not the palm trees.

From fancy houses to apartments everywhere.

Hold up, it was hot. Why is she in a down jacket?

Do you think this store is called big.. because it is big?

Tiny bike!!!

... Turns out we can't record inside ;w;) sorry

But on the upside, we bought TONS of stuff.

How is the quality of the video?

Beautiful!

Dodge, dodge, dodge the bikes~

Child on front and back? is that safe?

Long time fans will have seen this place before.

But in reverse and on a bike!

Lol, we refused to wait for the lights　(*'▽')

Is it strange that people ride on the footpath?

<-- I like this kind of folding fence.

What?! He is on his phone, one hand riding, headphones in! DX

It was around this point we regretted buying so much stuff...

But BIG has big discounts!

Why are these yellow covers on the wires?

One of us jumped into the fence... cough..

D--didn't get hooked on it... >_>

Rina wanted to "borrow" that fruit.

Too peaceful.... forgetting to .. subtitle.... zzz..

This is my Japan.

Sun setting. Little roads. Clean houses.

.. Being looked at by old men. Perfect.

Finally found the railroad tracks! Almost to the station!

At this point, our arms had grown a foot longer from holding bags.

Do you think the people who live here, get annoyed by the trains?

Maybe there is extra cheap rent? or is it more expensive....?

Choo chooooo, I'm a traaaaain!

Skinny mode! .... Activate!

Almost finished folks.

So with that in mind, would you rather music or live sounds?

I mean for these walking videos.

Or perhaps voice over?

or even just subtitles like this?

Choo choo! I'm an in a hurry TRAAAAAIN!!

Time to say goodbye almost.. ;w;)

So thanks for watching, ne? :3

Tokyo Japan Travel Guide | Asia - Duration: 3:33.

The Japanese remake of the Eiffel Tower, Tokyo Tower offers two observation points.

Travelers suggest coming here at night to watch the city twinkle, as well as listen

to music at the sky-high Club 333.

The Tokyo National Museum houses about 116,000 pieces of art and artifacts that cover the

longest recorded history of Japan, including samurai armor and swords.

You'll may see women in traditional Japanese dress walking about town, especially around

religious sites including the Meiji Shrine, where weddings are often held.

Sensoji Temple is one of the most popular religious sites to visit in Tokyo.

Unless you want to jostle with crowds, travelers recommend coming early morning or at night.

This high-tech museum features exciting interactive exhibits that showcase engineering feats,

such as robotics and space exploration.

Cherry blossom season in Japan lasts for about a week in late March or early April.

A time honored tradition among the Japanese is to have a picnic under one of the cherry

blossom trees.

Popular spots for this include the East Gardens of the Imperial Palace or the Shinjuku Gyoen

National Garden.

Tokyo Skytree towers over Tokyo's skyline, bypassing other popular vantage points including

Tokyo Tower and the Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building.

The Skytree allows visitors but be prepared for long lines.

The best place to experience the urban chaos of Tokyo is the Shibuya Crossing, located

right outside the Shibuya metro station.

When one street light turns red at the crossing, all of them do as to accommodate the area's

many pedestrians.

From Odaiba, you'll have tremendous views of Tokyo Bay.

Believe it or not, karaoke was invented in Japan.

So while out, make sure you stop by a karaoke bar.

You can find a handful of them in Shibuya.

If you want to snag cool electronics, comics or anime there's no better place to shop than

Akihabara.

On the weekends, the streets are vehicle-free to accommodate pedestrians.

Don't expect California rolls when you arrive in Tokyo.

Here, sushi is very different from what's offered in the U.S.

While some is wrapped in seaweed, a lot of it is cuts of fish placed on top of rice.

That's it.

The Imperial Palace is where Japan's emperor and the royal family reside.

Getting admitted is tough, but still stop by to visit the verdant East Gardens.

For high-end shopping and some of Tokyo's highly acclaimed restaurants, head to Ginza.

While at the Meiji Shrine, travelers recommend contributing to the prayer wall.

All you have to do is write down a wish and tie it onto this wall.

You'll find this bizarre statue along with many others at animator Miyazaki Hayao's (creator

of "Spirited Away") Ghibli Museum.

Japan's Sara Takanashi third in season opener in Norway - Duration: 2:31.

Sara Takanashi opened the ski jumping World Cup season in Lillehammer on Friday with third place in the women's normal hill, finishing behind first-time winner Juliane Seyfarth of Germany and Olympic champion Maren Lundby of Norway

Battling windy conditions, Takanashi was eighth following her opening jump of 88.5meters but flew an impressive 94

0meters on her second effort to secure a podium finish with a total of 240.2points

The Pyeongchang Olympic bronze medalist finished six points behind local favorite Lundby and 18

6back from runaway winner Seyfarth, whose previous best at a World Cup event was fifth

Takanashi, who holds the all-time record of 55 World Cup wins, said she was happy with her second jump after struggling on her opener

"I pulled it together on my second jump and salvaged a result," she said."Regardless of the conditions, I realize I can't win a World Cup meet unless I keep myself steady and go for distance

" While the 22-year-old is looking to add to her record number of titles, she said she would not be fixated on winning this season

"(I'm not) obsessed with the results.This season includes a variety of challenges and I want to take it all in," she said

"By getting this result in tough conditions, I gained good experience." Among other Japanese competitors, Yuki Ito finished 14th with 207
