1. How often do you hear live music?
Uhhh whenever a friend has an important(?) gig. I also try to see one or two musicals a year. For actual musical artists, I'm just never really enough of a fan to justify the trouble of watching a concert.
2. What was your favorite live musical performance ever?
Recency bias: ONE OK ROCK (whose music is meant to be experienced live)
3. Do you play an instrument, or sing?
I can play a couple of videogame songs on the piano, but very, very badly. I will never improve. Then again, everyone needs a hobby that they're hopelessly terrible at. It's liberating. Unfortunately, I'm mediocre at best at all my other interests/endeavors, which is not as liberating, just depressing lol
4. Have you ever performed music onstage?
On high school graduation day, everyone had to go onstage to sing as a chorus.
5. Who is your favorite musician?
Can I just say Vienna Teng for how long I've been listening to her... A huge fan of The National as well for High Violet.

Just finished Legend of Mana! I missed around 5 quests (there are 67 total) but I think it's a sufficient experience of the game? I can't exactly say I loved it, but I'll miss it. I'll miss having something I can be fully absorbed in (especially since the rerecorded soundtrack is so soothing and the colorful graphics comforting), and I'll miss writing/drawing my progress on my physical journal.
