Shino's first album with a non-English title, “Graceless” is YesAsia's translation of
 . Looking up “BU ZHI HAO DAI” with CquickTrans yielded “not know what's good for one”, and my Oxford dictionary has it (under “hao dai”) as “unable to appreciate a favour.” The literal translation is “not know good bad.” When I asked a Chinese student at the university if he could tell me what it means, he just laughed and said it's hard to explain.
The music CD is great! The live VCD isn't. It reaffirms what I've been saying for years now: Recordings of live performances suck. fan is my favorite song by Shino, but the recorded live performance was, eh, annoying. I guess you'd have to have been there to appreciate it.
In a further attempt by the music industry to penalize the consumer, this CD uses the evil new copy-control technology (CCCD). According to the packaging, this is the CCCD's compatability:
| COPY |
PC |
MD |
|
| PLAY |
Win |
Mac |
DVD |
GAME |
I think they actually forgot to copy-protect this album though, because I haven't had any trouble reading this CD. (CCCD is supposed to make listening to the disk a crappy experience.) I've tried it on my sister's PlayStation 2, the ancient stereo in the basement bathroom, and a variety of CD-ROM drives of different ages and Windohs systems. Avex Trax must have just been hoping people would be too stupid to question the CCCD warning. But if I ever do have problems, I guess I could just uncap my black magic marker...
