Fashion

It's amazing what an open-access journal can bring. PLOS ONE is pretty interesting in that they only rigorously look over your methods, then let the community judge whether your research is important or not. Check out the wiki article:

So of course, alongside these serious, in depth detailed articles on computational neuroscience and the likes, we have articles that... study fashion. :V

It seems like its best if your colors are slightly matched but not totally the same or totally different!!

What better way to learn about fashion through science!

And in case you didn't notice this is the same journal with the mobile game study I had posted previously.

Mobile Games and Research

http://www.plosone.org/article/info%3Adoi%2F10.1371%2Fjournal.pone.0100662

People are putting up mobile games and collecting data from them.


In the future I am not being distracted by mobile games, I'm contributing to science!

Idol Units

Random thoughts.

If I could produce any three-idol unit like they have in idolm@ster but instead have no restrictions of what series they'd come from...

I'd probably do Serika (c), Arisa, Kotori.

However, although Kotori is my favorite idol in μ's, I don't think she would really match the unit. Her appeal is different than the other two -- although they'd all classify as Pure, the type of Pure that Kotori possesses is distinctly different from the other two. 

...maybe I can substitute Totori as an idol?!?!?!?!?


Putting favorites aside, if I chose someone for talent (in particular for singing), I think I'd do something like:

Reika (c), Emily, Eli

Reika is a really amazing singer -- just hearing her voice in ML made me really like her. It's too bad she herself isn't that popular, I kind of think she deserves better than just a character role in ML. Then again if the seiyuu wasn't voicing a ML character (like a normal idol role or in a group such as AKB) I probably wouldn't know of her in the first place.

Hmm I realize I didn't pick anyone from Aikatsu. I guess I would put Ichigo somewhere but she's already the main character... :V

...Totori as an idol is a brilliant idea. ATELIER SERIES IDOL SPINOFF PLEASE!



EDIT: Also something very distantly related. The next big idol game! http://www.siliconera.com/2014/07/08/mages-5pb-publishing-super-cute-idol-rhythm-game-3ds/
