rhythm game yes! dunno if it counts as a visual novel though

so far, it's fun!! it's a lot more involved than love live, in terms of team building, but there's live 2d and it's fully voiced. it drains my battery really fast though

the characters are cute and they have some really good covers too, notably sugar song to bitter step (kekkai sensen ed), secret base (anohana ed) and hikaru nara (your lie in april op)

Chinese artists … never lose sight of the fact that producing works in large numbers exemplifies creativity, too. They trust that, as in nature, there always will be some among the 10,000 things from which change springs.

this reminds me of ai weiwei's sunflower seeds exhibition, millions of individually painted and crafted seeds, none of them really unique but still singular

and re the last paragraph, the way i was taught to approach brush painting and calligraphy was more focused on creating a kind of flow for strokes. like, having a feel for qi or the spirit of nature in order to transfer that power into your work. it sounds really uhhh superstitious i guess from a western perspective but it is what it is
