My Interests
I have quite a few interests and they change often. Feel free to chat if you share similar interests!
- Music: My music taste is quite broad, from classical to death metal. I listen to many genres, mainly English and Japanese, but also some Korean and Spanish
- Headphones & Speakers: Since I listen to music frequently, I do care a bit about playback equipment → My Audiophile Chronicle
- Fandom: My favorite singer is LiSA (Japan), Why I’m a fan of LiSA. I even own Just Ear XJE-MH/L1SA (LiSA collaboration) custom in-ear monitors. I also quite like Ado, Why I’m a fan of Ado
- Anime, Manga & Novels: Particularly fond of “A Certain Scientific Railgun”, “Girls und Panzer”, “Rascal Does Not Dream” series, “Your Name”, “Detroit Metal City”. Favorite authors include: Tomihiko Morimi, Keigo Higashino, Hiro Arikawa
- Ball-jointed dolls: I have Mirai Classic Milk (Smart Doll 1/3), Uyuri by Poe-Poe (Azone 45cm), Misaka Mikoto (Azone 1/6)
