The stars aligned and I both met and got signatures from two of my favourite artists this year: TECHNOuchi and nano. I also liked them for many years prior. Though it'd be good to see who I want to see in countries that are further away, rather than only going to places close by.

Listened to more albums and EPs for the first time in July, August and September! Overall I listened to more nano and electronic music; tried atmospheric musique concrète e.g. tracks by Hildegard Westerkamp; and delved into more soundtracks from e.g. Panty & Stocking and Turkey!

A high school in Nagano has created an "Idol Club" to provide development for girls who are interested in singing and dancing, on a par with the school's baseball and football clubs, in what sounds like a real-life "Love Live!". The girls will receive singing and dancing lessons,

Always good to hear Reggie's thoughts. I agree that "direct warfare is over" between the big three, despite there still being competition for general attention. I also like that he wants more innovation in games. That reminds me that I should play more games from smaller studios.

This game almost never gets old. I've never managed to actually 1CC any of its modes though. I get the urge to try to do it, but then something else captures my attention. Still fun to go through once in a while.

I'm going on an adventure.

I'm almost done with watching Yohane the Parhelion: Sunshine in the Mirror and the soundtrack is good. Tatsuya Katou did well yet again.
