[originalvisual]

Just curious since you post some japanese music related stuff recently... how was your progression music wise? Did you get into jpop because of anime and stuff like so many and naturally migrated to kpop in later years? Do you still listen to japanese music and what are some of your favourits? So far I value your impaccable taste!

hi anon, you got it right! i grew up watching anime, got into jpop and jrock, then discovered kpop thanks to my friends and boa who's still my favourite singer 💓 i admit i don't follow jpop the same way as i used to, i'm not very familiar with newer popular artists but i listen a lot of my old faves. it's probably not gonna surprise you that i've always liked idols, especially from h!p (and also johnny's), later akb48 and their sister groups. i also love ggs like perfume or zone and sooooo many soloists. utada hikaru and nakashima mika will always be my most beloved ones but i also listen to otsuka ai, amuro namie, hoshino gen, hirai ken, yaida hitomi, mukai taichi, shibasaki kou, sheena ringo, miliyah... as for more groups, from the top of my head i could name paris match, yuzu, moumoon, monkey majik, bennie k, foxxi misq, capsule... sorry for listing so many but i could seriously go on and on and on... 😅 i'm sure you know how it is lol!

lately i've been in the mood for endlicheri*endlicheri, some of his stuff is great for emo days 🫠

how about you, anon? what's your story? 😉 if you like any new artists then i'll be happy to hear some recs!

🏠Where do you think they live?

Within my written stuff, I try to vary how they live for funsies. But if I had to pen it out logically:

I think initially (Post Heroes) Rouge intended to take Shadow home and get him some help, and ended up having to take Omega home because he was extremely low power after their adventure. They ended uo staying in her G.U.N. flat, which they were all eventually kicked out of for damage.

However, they don't all live together all the time. Shadow likes to wander, especially around the events of Shadow the Hedgehog he was hard to pin down, he spent a lot of time soul searching. Rouge came into posession of a flat over the club when she got it, and also has a few other properties she calls home like a beachhouse and a ski chalet. Omega most consistently has one home, because his replacement parts and chargers are specific and tricky to replace, and also they mosify them so he can fit. Omega's homes are usually considered Team Dark's HQ, because its where they store all their spare kit and sensitive stuff. Its armed to the teeth.

I do have a story about them building Shadow a home. I think he would like living remotely, in the mountains where the stars are the best. Omega alao struggles to live in normal society, but he quite enjoys the drama of it. Rouge would ideally live on a pile of gold like Gustave in SMTV, but she'll settle for a fancy penthouse somewhere hollywood-esque. So, they don't particularly stay together all the time, but at present they all go back to base quite regularly.

🎶Who has the aux cord most - what do they play?

This is coming up for me in Day 6s story, actually!

Rouge is the owner of the Aux Cord, so she commandeers it. She likes: 80s/90s pop; Jazz; Ballads; and secretly showtunes. She introduced Shadow and Omega to music, and has a fairly nice singing voice but is not very well trained. Once upon a time she played saxophone but is out od practice.

Shadow will only play the music he likes in very close company, and turns it off if anyone spoils or criticises it. He does like rock and emo and the stuff people think are stereotypical of him, and he doesn't like to be teased for it. He also listens to classical and instrumentals and develops a taste for peaceful New Age stuff with time. He has taught himself piano and guitar (got a keyboard fairly cheap, and Sonic left his old guitar lying around once) and does sometimes sing with it. He will immediately stop if anyone is in hearing vicinity, so unconfirmed if he is any good.

Omega does actually have a taste in music: obviously, metal (haha) but also synth, electric pop, and anything quite fast tempo might tempt him, he has yet to like a lovesong. He's also a bit random with what he likes, and never explains what about it or why. He will just sometimes insist on a song being replayed, and occasionally records songs as they're being played to blast at inconvenient moments. They can't find any rhyme or reason as to why he would even have a preference for music, it isn't written in any code, but there is a list he can produce of 'liked songs'. Rouge and Shadow guess it is just another way he is figuring out an identity and what to do with it, so are very happy to encourage him.

Thanks for the ask! 🖤🦇🤖
