Date: 2023-04-22 09:40 pm (UTC)Preferred Name: Rina.
Age or Age Group: 38... Which will change in 3, 2, 1... (My birthday is in early May.)
Location: Bavaria, Germany.
Pronouns: She/her.
♬ Music In General ♪
Thinking day to day, what do you normally listen to: There is not just one answer. Whatever emotion I want to have an echo for :), or whatever emotion I want to summon so to say.
If different from the question above, what are you currently into: I am currently listening to Don Huonot, a Finnish alternative rock band I fell in love with when I was about 16 years old. :) A former friend of mine who lived in Helsinki introduced me to them, along with several other Finnish bands.
Do you listen to music to study, exercise, or work: Yes, even though I know this wouldn't be the best thing to do oftentimes. But when I am doing chores, for example, I feel time passes differently then. When I exercise or go for walks, I would either listen to music along the way, or sing my heart out whilst walking my dog through the nearby fields.
What platform do you use to listen to music: I use Youtube Music a lot, but I also have a last.fm account *waves a flag to advertise this fact*.
What language do you prefer your music: Japanese, German, English, French, Spanish, Italian, Finnish, Russian, Swedish, --- I have no real favourite (apart from Japanese maybe).
Is there a musician you'd like to meet? Why: Concerning those I haven't met as of yet, I would like to meet David Bowie maybe? I know he is not alive anymore, but I would like to make a list of questions to ask him prior to this, and then tear it up whilst trembling in awe as I'd meet him. Why? He has been the first musician I really noticed / paid attention to. I was six, and yes, blame the movie Labyrinth, but~ this led to a Bowie obsession for me, and I even got my first CD this way (The Singles Collection). In short, I owe a lot to this guy.
Do you sing and/or play an instrument: Both, yes. I take singing lessons, and I play the electric guitar, mainly. I can also play the piano a bit, the bass guitar, and the drums.
Do you have a least favorite genre: Not really.
Do you make playlists? If so, do you share: The Selkie Dance.
Name 3 songs you recommend:
a - Heather Dale - "The Maiden And The Selkie"
b - ZIZ - "Colors"
c - Ghosting - "Disguised In Black"
♬ Music Favorites ♪

Genre: Goth ♬ Punk ♬ Alternative Rock ♬ Electronica ♬ EBM ♬ Industrial ♬ Metal ♬ HipHop ♬ Techno
Song: Apart from those mentioned above (the three I recommended)... "Crimson Star", "Cruel Arcadia", "Innermost..." (all by Közi), "Illuminati", "Beast Of Blood", "Brise" (all by Malice Mizer), "Rebel Rebel", "Magic Dance", "Starman" (all by David Bowie), "L'âme-Stram-Gram" (Mylène Farmer), "Humain À L'Eau", "Fils De Joie" (both by Stromae), "Bleed Like Me" (Garbage), ... Too many. Way too many.
Music Video: "Timekiller", "Existence", "Titânes" (all by Project Pitchfork), "Illuminati" (warning because this is NSFW; by Malice Mizer), "Fils De Joie", "Carmen" (both by Stromae), "Koroleva" (Roman Rain)
Instrument: Guitar, hichiriki (It is quite an interesting instrument to play!), shamisen, shakuhachi, steel drum, synthesizer.
Favorite lyrics: Right now? "See how infinite I am / From midnight to midnight I unfold / But then I perish just for you / To be reborn as thunder" (Project Pitchfork - "Titânes"); "Are my dreams reality? Is reality a dream? I am destroying the limits of what I can become!" (translated to English from Japanese; Közi - "Cruel Arcadia")... And many more.
♬ Music and Feelings ♪
What does music mean to you: Music is my passion. Also it is a means of "communicating what needs to be said, but what cannot be put into words."
Name some songs that get you excited or that cheer you up: Peter Fox's "Schüttel Deinen Speck" recently :). I love this song!! So catchy.
Do you have any songs or genre that relax you: The music on the playlist I shared the link of. :) Especially the Hildegard von Blingin', Heather Dale, and S. J. Tucker tracks.
Is there a song that represents how you feel or your stance on life: "Alles Oder Alles!" by Samsas Traum. This one is hard to translate, but I relate to the state of being mentally ill, but still having a lot of creative energy.
Do you dress similar to the genre you listen to: I try :P. But I fail sometimes. But then I get up again and continue (failing?). :)
♬ Friending And Deal-breakers ♪
What kind of friend(s) are you searching for: Kindred souls? Whatever this could mean, really. I really love it when people are authentic, creative, curious, and kind. *nods*
What do you like to read about: Your escapades & those sweet highs of life. In short: Your life. :)
How often do you check your friends feed: As often as I have the time. Recently I haven't been posting as much as I used to, but I will try to check back everytime I am online.
Do you have any deal-breakers: Racism, homophobia, transphobia.
Do you mind reading about fandom: Nah, it is okay. We all have something that may mean more to us. Just make sure you put some RL updates / entries in there, too.
Anything else you'd want people to know: YOU ROCK!! :) There, I said it.
