This doesn't seem much since I was quite busy after that so I could not do much in that time period.

‌The Blog's future direction:

First thing first, I would like to announce something: I got into Japan! ‌‌

While this is a good new for me, it has also messed a lot of thing regarding how this page operates so I think it's time to take a step back and reconsider some of the aspect of the blog.
Anyway, here it goes.

About the Frequency Response Index:

One thing when it comes to Japan with the personal audio scene, is that they have a really big market. So coming to Japan means I have access to a numerous amount of earphones via store like e-earphones or Fujiya AVIC. Though, while it is quite positive in terms of impression materials, the Graph Database face an issue: They might not allow measurement activities to take place.

Note the word "might", I haven't directly confirm it myself so I cannot say much, though with some self-research, the chances aren't exactly high. Japan is a country where the unwritten rules are better not to do after all.
I am not giving myself up for now, maybe there is a way ;). For now, the database will still have updates, but I will mainly rely on oversea store unit and people I meet along the way here.

Doujin Music:

Oh yeah, coming to Japan means that finally I have the chance to cover one of my favorite aspect of Japanese medias: Doujin Music.
Expect this to be one of the main aspect of the blog in future contents, as 2020 passed by, hopefully I will have the chance to cover more of this.
