  • PHANTOMIME – Mori Calliope [Review]

    PHANTOMIME – Mori Calliope [Review]

    Background

    To begin with: I’m a huge fan of Mori’s music. I, almost embarrassingly, was in the top 3% of listeners according to Spotify (thanks for that). It started with a song or two showing up on my YouTube recommendations. The first song I remember hearing was “Off With Their Heads.” Sometimes songs take me a few listens to appreciate but the music and lyrics (along with what little I knew about the VTuber industry) captured me pretty quickly.

    I would have branched out and listened to her other songs after that, but I didn’t much care for rap in general. It takes some convincing for me to get through it. The next year, she released Your Mori. LO-FI ALBUM. This is what turned my Spotify into a Mori delivery service. Practically injected into my blood stream. I could (perhaps should) write a whole article about this album.

    Since then, I’ve listened to all of her originals over and over and over again. She’s a very prolific and accomplished musician / lyricist. I, like many others, fear her eventual burnout if she doesn’t take it easy.

    Now that you know a bit about my experience with the artist, let’s talk about PHANTOMIME.

    Initial Impressions

    I had the pleasure of listening to the album in it’s entirety the moment it was released on YouTube around midnight, August 16th, 2024. Here’s a link.

    I absorb music through many listen-throughs and I generally prefer full albums to individual tracks. The artist put the songs in the order they did on purpose; I’m listening to them in that order. The first listen-through was a bit mindless. I didn’t really pay that much attention. (I was busy playing an early access game under NDA so I was a bit distracted 🤫). But I had a great time, regardless.

    It felt like a fun mix of genres. Very dancy and what I thought I had come to expect from Mori. I would have already recommended it due to her consistency. But I knew I would need to give it another go or two to fully get it.

    After a good sleep, dealings with work, and general life activities, I had the time to sit down and listen to the music mindfully.

    It’s fucking fantastic.

    I want to just gush, but I have to keep some semblance of structure or this whole thing turns into an even less comprehensible mess than it already is.

    The album consists of 11 fantastic songs. 3 of which were released ahead of the full album. These songs are “タイド (Tide),” “Overkill,” and “Midnight Mayoi.” These have been great listens, but they mostly served to make me excited for the full album. I did listen to “Overkill” at least 100 times at this point, though. More on that later.

    “PHANTOMIME” seems to me like an obvious portmanteau of “phantom” and “pantomime.” Sounds to me like another word for a VTuber, or digital performer in general.

    • Ratings for songs are given in relation to other songs on the album, not music as a whole.

    1. Tide (Mori Calliope x AI)

    Mori had a live stream where she went over all of the songs in detail. I haven’t watched the entire thing, but here’s something she said about Tide:

    You’re going from the bottom of hell to this magnificent rise. For this album, I was initially thinking, ‘We went through the seven layers of hell to get down to the bottom for Left For Dead Lullaby, now we have to go back up through the layers’ and I thought, ‘That is so boring, we have to come up with a different approach. So just decided, let’s make the first track super uplifting, like we’re flying back through hell, and then after that we can go and continue a different story.

    This song is supposed to be really uplifting. It’s a really uplifting way to jump into the album, I feel. I wanted to start off with something that’s, “Don’t give up.” It’s meant to be listened to right after “Left For Dead Lullaby” from JIGOKU 6.

    “Left For Dead Lullaby” really is a hard one to follow up. It’s a song that fills you with a sort of helpless sorrow as you listen to Mori describe the isolation and loneliness she seems to feel even through (or perhaps because of) the fame she’s garnered.

    “Tide,” on the other hand, truly does paint a picture of you taking a jetpack out of hell. The lyrics initially presents you a body that’s cracked, tired, and losing the meaning of what makes you who you are. Still, it calls out hoping anyone notices.

    That spark in your soul exists regardless of how your body feels. The rest of the song is pretty inspirational and uplifting. Getting up and making any sort of progress towards what you want, even if no one is looking.

    I also have to point out this sick line:

    Passion fades, but so do scars.

    Banger.

    All this without even mentioning the amazing vocals that AI provided the track. I’m not very familiar with her but, damn. Perhaps I should check her out.

    It took me a few listen-throughs to really appreciate it.

    6/10

    2. SNEAKING revenge with Lotus Juice

    I’ma be real. This is my least favorite on the album.

    “SNEAKING (revenge)” is a re-do of her previous song “SNEAKING.” Yes, the song gets better as I listen to it, but I’m not really a fan of the chorus. Nor am I a fan of Metal Gear.

    The music itself is great. I do like it much more than the original.

    4/10

    3. Go-Getters

    “Go-Getters” is the ending theme for Suicide Squad Isekai. It’s an extremely catchy song full of energy and bounce. Before writing this, I didn’t know it was made for a show, I just knew it was one of her more popular songs at the moment. It makes more sense now, haha.

    Knowing it’s for Suicide Squad, which seems to focus on Harley Quinn, the lyrics make a lot more sense. There’s a lot of confidence and chaos.

    7/10

    4. Overkill

    The growl at 2:00. Enough said.

    Ah, okay, ya got me. I have more to say.

    MUSIC

    This is, as far as I know, the first song she’s done in a metal style. It. fucking. slaps. It’s so well done. Her voice was perfect for this piece. Her natural sound is pretty deep and husky(👌), but she’s very comfortable in the higher “cuter” ranges. The genre shift really helped show off those lower pitches.

    Alongside the theme of the song, the higher “cute” notes give a nice juxtaposition that’s better explained by the lyrics. The gravelly noises and growling give me chills and I’m very happy with this musical direction, being a metal head, myself.

    LYRICS

    This song is an obvious call out of the industry she’s in. It starts heavy with “テメぇの所為です” (“It’s all your fucking fault” in JP) followed by a scream.

    In the music video, television-headed big-wigs place bets on girls forced to compete with each other, much like horse racing. These “lovely animals” are promised their dreams only to be used, broken down, and thrown away once they’ve reached the end of their usefulness.

    Mori is depicted walking into their gambling arena and very literally bashes their heads in with a spiked bat.

    This shit goes so hard.

    Huge shout out to Yuki Tsujimura and MEGMETAL for the arrangement of the song.

    9/10

    5. Cult Following

    10/10     10/10
         10/10          10/10
              10/10
        10/10      10/10

    The first new song introduced, “Cult Following” is easily my favorite song on the album. I can’t move forward without mentioning the perfection that is the verse at 2:55. The way she sings “If you’re looking for permission to riot, you got it wrong” is very reminiscent of Korn, to me.

    Speaking of which, this song is NU METAL. ????? Did I expect her to go in this direction? Yes. Was I ready for it? Apparently not.

    This song feels like it was made for someone (read: me) who grew up listening to Linkin Park, Hoobastank, Korn, Slipknot, etc. “Cult Following” is an absolutely head-banging good time. Did I mention the music was done by WARGASM?

    The quality of this song is insane, and it’s crazy to see how far she’s come from her first album, Your Mori.

    My initial impression was that singer is confidently dancing in an active war zone. Taunting the opposition to take aim and fire while inspiring allies to stand up and make a decision already.

    I’m paraphrasing her own words here now because I didn’t get the song at all, apparently. “Cult Following” is about cult-like figureheads. Celebrities, figureheads, etc, anyone who would have a cult following and how they can abuse that position. The singer preys upon weak subjects, spouting obvious red flags to tempt their victim into their clutches. The singer teases the opposition from their position of safety.

    She wants people to make their own decisions on whether or not the figures they follow (Mori included) are harmful.

    Mori does mention that this song is not an accurate representation of her true feelings, but rather an exploration of another perspective.

    Fun tidbit: Mori said her original lyrics were all over the place. She was afraid of coming off as cringe, lame, or edgy when presenting the lyrics to WARGASM, to the point of wanting to throw up every time she looked at them. So, she rewrote them in the studio. The rewrite is something she’s happy with, since she wrote them after giving up trying to be cool.

    10/10

    6. DONMAI

    The second new song on the album. What a joyride this one is.

    “DONMAI” is a genre changing roller coaster. Mori expresses feelings high and low, while the music shifts between rap, rock, and… swing? I love it.

    The beat is really driving, the instruments fly. It’s such a good time if you like having your expectations subverted. There’s so much going on that you could easily listen to this song on repeat and notice something new every loop.

    “Donmai” is a Japanese word borrowed from the English “don’t mind.” The meaning is close to “shake it off” or “don’t worry.”

    Much of the lyrics show off the imposter syndrome that Mori feels. Having listened to a lot of her music, it seems she’s been plagued by this feeling for quite a long time now. She puts herself down pretty harshly and follows up with how every goal she achieves is just the precursor to the next, making each achievement feel meaningless in a way. But she shakes it off and still bets it all on herself.

    Being a random “want to be” chosen and made to be a “somebody” is a sick lyric.

    10/10

    7. Midnight Mayoi (Mori Calliope × Kobo Kanaeru)

    A sweet and melodic piece with some funky city-pop vibes thrown in. The combination of Mori’s more melodic side in combination with Kobo’s cute voice make for a track you could listen to on repeat while driving down the freeway at night.

    This track feels more like “everybody” music. It’s a break from the deeply personal and heavy songs directly before it. “Midnight Mayoi” shifts the mood of the album in a more relaxed direction.

    7/10

    8. skeletons

    The third new song on the album. Immediately following the vibes of “Midnight Mayoi,” we get a solemn and slow piano-only intro with soft vocals from Mori. She gives off major Elsiane vibes here (kudos).

    The genre shifts into a bit of a thoughtful hip-hoppy vibe with the ever present intro piano in the background. I really enjoyed listening to this one. I really need to listen to her thoughts on this song.

    There’s a rap section where she rhymes the same sound four times in a row:

    The age of misfit, optimistic that I missed it
    Until I flash back to every wall that my fist hit

    I only point it out because she does this a lot and I recently found out she thinks it’s kind of cringe to do so. She rolls her eyes like, “wow such a rap god 👏👏👏.” At herself, haha. If it makes sense, she gives it a pass.

    8/10

    9. Last Days

    The fourth new song on the album. “Last Days” picks the vibe up from where “skeletons” left it and kind of flies off with it.

    This song soars slowly yet passionately, building up, falling down, rising again and finishing with an abrupt dive. The energy and emotion brought out by the chord progressions and beautifully arranged instrumentation make this a definite favorite on the album.

    “Last Days” is written from the perspective of someone who is watching someone they care about leave from their life. This isn’t with a specific method in mind. People can leave from your life by moving, death, ending their career, however. It’s a sad song that most people will be able to relate to in some way.

    There are also a few references to her older songs (specifically “Red,” “End of a Life,” “Cursed Night,” and “Left for Dead Lullaby”).

    9/10

    10. through the blue

    The final new song on the album. Immediately after the end of “Last Days,” we’re met with a slightly more energetic acoustic guitar, bouncing some chords back and forth. I’m given visions of summer, wind, grass, and clouds.

    The song invokes a feeling of nostalgia in a way that makes you feel melancholic about what the relentless march of time will inevitably take from you.

    In the end, living in the now and appreciating the view in front of you while you’re still there is the key to happiness.

    I have a feeling I’ll be coming back to this song, specifically, quite a lot. Anything with a “live in the moment” message hits me pretty hard.

    9/10

    Thank you.

    I had (and will continue to have) a great time with this album. I’ve said this before, but Mori really has come a long way from Your Mori. It’s a great album in its own right, but the quality and depth of her music has improved drastically.

    I’m excited to see where she goes from here.

  • Meteor – Chapter 1

    Abyss

    This is a work in progress. Names, events, titles, etc. are subject to change

    The soundless abyss creates an imaginary hum in my ears. “Where am I?” I could hear my voice ring out in the empty dark void. Attempting to look around feels pointless. I can’t tell which way is which, anyway. A sudden vertical beam of light rips through the blanket of darkness. After the pain fades and my eyes adjust, I notice a large crimson throne decorated with gold. Upon the throne sits a beautiful but ghostly woman wearing strange, wispy, black clothes.

    “You’re nowhere! Well, to be precise, you’re in Nowhere. But… it’s also nowhere? I’m not very good with mortal words.” She chuckles lightly; her face shows what seems to me a genuine smile. The woman uncrosses her legs and leans forward a bit, resting her head in her hands. She hums an ethereal tune while kicking her feet. Her red eyes look me up and down. I think she’s appraising me. “What’s your name?”

    I pull myself together and try to remember. Oh yeah, my name is-

    “Pollux,” I answer.

    She sits back, her brow furrowed and eyes closed. Her arms cross while she seems to ponder my name. “No, I don’t like it. Pick something else.” I have no clue what to tell her.

    “Uhm, what?” I said confused.

    “Pick a new name; it can be anything! Just not Pollux,” she says with a smile.

    I’m annoyed. I resist grumbling. “How about you tell me your name, first?”

    She answers enthusiastically, “My name is Castor! Cas is fine, though.”

    “Mmmm, no. I don’t like it. Pick something else.” I turn my head and cross my arms. She giggles, shifts around in her throne, and then clears her throat.

    “I can’t change my name. Everyone knows me by this one.” Castor makes a face that lets me know she realizes the irony in her words. I think she’s teasing me. Before I can say anything, she begins to explain, “Ok. Let’s get the exposition out of the way, yeah? You died.” I wince a bit hearing that, but I’m not exactly surprised; my neck still feels the cold steel. She continues, “You died and now you’re here. And soon you’ll be going somewhere else! You don’t need your old yucky name.”

    I’m more annoyed than I was before. Having regained a bit of composure, I speak up, “Is this how it always is? This sounds like something that should be taken more seriously.” She sighs, crosses her legs again, and puts on a less cheery expression. Something between melancholy and seriousness.

    “Not always,” she says calmly. She looks down at her lap silently. Her head raises and our eyes meet, “You’ve been given another chance. A chance to achieve what you’ve always wanted. You will be a new person with a new life on a new planet. A planet in need of a hero, someone who can save them from a terrible fate. I will also grant you power beyond your imagination to aid your endeavors.” This thin pale lady’s bright red eyes feel like they’re burning holes through me. Cas, I suppose, I should be calling her.

    “Why me, Cas?” I force myself to ask. She looks as if she was anticipating the question. I didn’t want to be rude. The idea of starting over does sound nice. I’d readily accept if I wasn’t so suspicious of the whole thing. Power? What kind of power?

    Castor beams at the sound of her name being said. “Because you deserve it! I’ve seen the good you’ve tried to put out into your world. It’s sad how unappreciated it went. I think you deserve another chance, no?” Her smile is different this time. Not like the genuine one I saw earlier. My suspicion grows. I ask her what it is she’s hiding. Castor acts offended, “Nothing! There’s no catch. New life. Big power. New planet. Big story. I can make good on all of these promises, ok?”

    All the good I put out into the world? I’m starting to think she hasn’t seen one second of my life. I mean, I don’t even know what she is. A god? A reaper? A con artist? Should I be hiding my wallet? Anyway, there may not be any harm in doing what she says. I did actually die. Extraordinary abilities sound great. Worst that happens is I can’t do what she expects of me and she gets someone else, right? Then I can just be some powerful hermit or something… After enough silence, I finally give her a response, “Ok.”

    Castor hops off her velvety throne excitedly and claps her hands together. The sound is somehow smothered by the darkness. “Excellent! In exchange for these wonderful abilities, you just have to become the strongest in the world!” I recall there not being a catch. She puts her heels together, stands up straight with a hand behind her back, and gives a quick finger snap. A ring of light echoes from the source of the sound and hits me like a wave. Before I can even ask what the hell she means by “becoming the strongest,” I am enveloped in a warm greyness. I couldn’t speak, nor could I seem to move. Rather, I couldn’t tell if I was moving or not.

    The grey became black, which then became a deep purple. Tiny white holes poked through the haze like stars in the sky. After a few seconds, I start to realize they were stars in the sky. I can feel my arms again. Turning my head to my left, I feel there is grass on my neck. I’m lying down, it seems. I get up, stretch, and wipe the void off my clothes. Giving my surroundings an actual look around, everything seems pretty close to what I’m used to. Trees, flowers, grass, hills, stars, two moons, giant humming machine in the sky. Ok, that last one was actually strange. But otherwise, I expected more from a different planet, assuming Castor wasn’t lying about anything.

    I take a moment to breathe. My body feels the same, but somehow different. There’s a fire in my spirit that wasn’t there before. When I close my eyes, I can see it. This must be part of the power Castor granted me. She never gave me any sort of clue what it means, but I am eager to try things out. Magic was simply a story telling where I’m from. Perhaps, after what I’ve recently seen, I can believe something like that is real? I wouldn’t know how to perform any sort of spells but it’ll be fun to try, I guess.

    I open my palm and imagine conjuring fire. Not a moment later does fire appear. And a split second after that I am engulfed. Scared beyond belief, I flail like an idiot. It feels like it took me too long to realize that I wasn’t in any actual danger. I’m not burning. There’s definitely a cloak of flame around me. It’s definitely really hot. The grass and ground around me has turned to glass. I take a deep, hot breath in the inferno and calm myself. The flame extinguishes.

    I poke at the thick crystallized rainbow below me. Crack. The whole thing shatters into dust. Perhaps I should be careful with this new strength. Seems dangerous.

    Rustling from a nearby bush startles me. I turn to face the sound, revealing to me a small rodent-like creature with long ears. It’s cute. I take a few steps closer and hold out my hand, beckoning it towards me. The critter hops carelessly toward me. I wave my hand a bit and, not a moment later, I see my forearm fall to the ground. Before I can understand what’s happening, I find myself in a dark void.

    “Welcome back!” a familiar voice greets me.

    My hands grasp at my neck, I choke out some sounds something akin to words. I look up to see Castor smiling her genuine smile at me.

  • Rising Phonon Star

    Rising Phonon Star

    A while ago, I decided I was going to dedicate a significant portion of my life to getting good at fighting games. Specifically, Under Night In-Birth II [Sys:Celes].

    I’ve been into fighting games proper since about 2012, maybe. Smash Bros. has been a staple in my life for as long as it’s existed, but I didn’t go to a real tournament until after college. My first venue was The Bigger Balc in 2017. I got completely stomped in pools by the (at the time) second best Project M player.

    The experience truly was something else, and it sort of kick-started my fighting game “career.” I became interested in other fighting games for the first time. Finally getting over my years of complaining that “combo based fighting games are stupid,” ignorant child that I was. (After writing this, I realize I played an unhealthy amount of Soul Calibur II.)

    Skullgirls, to BlazBlue CF, to Pokken Tournament, to Tekken 7, to UNICLR, to Melty Blood, to Guilty Gear Strive, to Melty Blood TL, to UNI2.

    I played a lot of games but never was skilled enough to feel like I could confidently say I’m “good.” Very routinely I would get bodied by randoms or friends that just started playing too. Fundamentals, spatial awareness, etc never seemed to help me when I thought I should be better just because I’ve played longer. It wasn’t until I gave up any idea of being “good” or “doing things the right way” that I actually started improving. This happened super late. I loved Under Night, so the announcement for Under Night 2 made me super excited. That’s when I decided I would just play because I like the game, not because I want to be good.

    It’s funny that I see myself as having a growth mindset, feeling like it’s a superior paradigm to a results mindset, and then being held back by it in the end. It turns out that putting pressure on yourself to achieve results in the name of growth is practically the same thing. I was still looking for results to prove to myself that I was growing. Since realizing that, things have been going much better.

    I joined a beginner lobby Discord server for UNI2 (UNI2BL for short). Best decision I’ve ever made when it comes to fighting games. Friends came naturally; we bonded over a shared passion for the game. This pushed me to keep playing because I wanted to spend time with them and be able to talk about the game. Improvement came naturally as I got comfortable with the game. Cool things would happen on the screen and I’d think, “How do I do that?” I’d test it out and now I have a new tool.

    It’s a completely different feeling from, “I need to be able to do X. How do I go about it? What’s the best route to it? What should I be ready for if blah blah blah.”

    The difference between reading about the smell of a rose and actually smelling the damn flower.

    None of this is news to me, I guess. It’s stuff I’ve been saying for years. Very often, I feel like Alice Liddell (yeah, I looked up her last name).

    Anyway, the topic was supposed to be about Phonon, and my decision to become a good player. But a different good than the good I had been talking about. I started taking videos of my journey, editing things together and making it a part of my life, not just a game. I went to tournaments way out of my league, I helped new players, I spoke combo theory with peers. Just getting involved was the biggest step in my journey towards good.

    The videos I made aren’t very good, but it has been a source of motivation for me to play and keep going.

    Watching the fights is painful. The pain is an indicator I’ve gotten better, though, right?

    At the time of this post, the latest video in the playlist is “Phonon: 66C 623B 66B 236[B] timing,” which was made 4 months ago. It doesn’t feel like it was that long ago…

    Since the first video, I’ve climbed past D, past D+, past C, and am now firmly in C+. I had a hard time getting out of D back then, but a lot has happened since then. Jumping back into the game with a UNI2BL Crew Battle after a two month hiatus due to shingles (ugh) was definitely an experience. I grinded for a week to get my muscle memory back and did okay. I was actually very proud of myself and even managed to learn some new tricks. My friend and amazing player, Edea, said they noticed my improvement. That gave me too much of an ego boost, to be completely honest. But it was nice and I had a great time getting my ass beat in the crew battle. (Go Team Lavender 💜)

    You know that famous Bruce Lee quote?

    “I fear not the man who has practiced 10,000 kicks once, but I fear the man who has practiced one kick 10,000 times.”

    Yeah, so. Again, I’ve known it for so so so long but never really grokked it. I play guitar and know that, if I practice the same thing over and over really slowly, I’ll get it down. For some reason, I didn’t apply that to fighting games.

    I had an entire epiphany during the week of practice before the crew battle. I don’t need to learn 10 combos. I just need one reliable combo and 10 ways to start it. This is even written out numerous times in guides, wikis, etc. Why didn’t it click sooner?? It’s been said to my face before, I’ve said to people before. Am I stupid??

    Well, finally, for whatever reason, it’s clicked. I’ve reduced my mental stack to a simple “just block and hit your combo.” That was enough to get me out of D. That left room for me to think about GRD a little bit. So I made it to C. That became kinda normal which led me to start thinking about adding more damage to my one true ol’ reliable bestest most favorite combo. Now I’m in C+.

    If things keep going like this, maybe I can confidently say I’m “good”?

  • Time Trials – Mushroom Cup

    I only recently got back into MKDS. I decided it was best to start small and work on improving one single cup at a time. Surprisingly, being an adult has made me better at the game, not worse (like I thought would happen).

    I drastically improved my times.

    This shows a speed-up of 1.5s, 1.3s, 2.8s, and an insane 9.2s, respectively. I’ve uploaded my times for review on the players page last week and should get my new placing soon. I believe they do their updates by hand every 1st, 15th, and 22nd, of the month.

    I will update this post once they do.

    PLACEMENT UPDATE

    With just my Mushroom Cup time improvements, I’ve gone from 1253 / 1472 to 1227 / 1494!

    Previously was in the 85th percentile, now 82nd.

    In all honesty, I don’t see myself getting so good that I’ll have times I can boast about. But, it’s still fun. Not sure how long I’ll keep that up, haha.

  • Checkmate (Yucha-P) – Piano Arrangement

    This is an arrangement I wrote for solo piano when I was, probably, around 19. I recently fixed up the soundfont and added a bit of flair.

    The song is basically a cover of a cover, haha. I thought the original was the Kagamine Len version but it turns out the original was with GUMI!

  • Returning to Mario Kart DS

    Returning to Mario Kart DS

    So, one of the GOATs of all time, Summoning Salt, put out a new video about Mario Kart DS. I’ve always loved MKDS and even thought it was the best MK game to date. At some point, I got discouraged from improving at the game because “it’s too hard,” “snaking hurts my hands,” “mk8 is the best one anyway.”

    WRONG. The video resparked the passion between me and this old racing game. I decided that, at the very least, I was going to upload all of my time trials to the official players page and get ranked. Then, maybe I’d be motivated to beat all my hard earned times?

    Well, I did upload my times. I did get ranked, and it did motivate me to try time trials again. I wasn’t wrong about snaking hurting my hands.

    Here are all the times I uploaded!

    (Non-PRB times)

    As of August 8th, 2024, I was placed 1253th out of 1472 🏆.
    I think that’s pretty good for times I landed back in like 2010.

    Since then I’ve improved some times! I think I improved Luigi’s Mansion by 9 whole seconds. Insanity.

    Link to my players page, in case I forget somehow.

  • Making stupid stuff in Godot 4

    This has been really fun and I’ve learned so much these past few days. Ultimately, it would be really cool to have a playable Dragalia Lost based game. There’s so much to learn still, and I think it might be best to put the idea on hold until I have more experience.

  • Hey, there.

    Yes, hello. I’m bibbleskit (a.k.a Andre).

    I like a lot of things. This site is kinda sorta a way to keep track of all the things I do. It’s mostly for me and future bibs, but it would make me happy if anyone else found anything else here interesting.

    Thanks for visiting.
