• Favorite Vocaloid: Guess I am no better than others…
• Favorite music genre: Shoegaze, progressive house, indie rock…

  • For electronic music, it’d be deadmau5.
  • For rock music, I’d choose Ngọt, Cá Hồi Hoang, Parannoul, Car Seat Headrest.
  • For other genres, I can’t really tell for now.

Although I spend a decent amount of listening time on Japanese music, I’ve always felt that I don’t really have the ability to actually critique their music (it’s complicated), which is why I don’t have any favorite Japanese artists.

It will change in the future, though!

• Favorite tracks:
  • The Veldt by deadmau5 ft. Chris James
  • Alice in 冷凍庫 by Orangestar w/ めありー
  • ハルカ by 36g.

I’d say these 3 tracks represent most of my music taste. Alternatively, you can check out the list of music tracks I like on my Featured tracks page.

Views

• AI art: I’m strongly against of its development and usage.
• Society: Lately I have been thinking that my opinions of society shaped myself significantly… Perhaps this would be a great story for some day.
• Vietnamese netizens: I wish they’ll never quit using Mark Zuckerberg’s spywares.
• Politics: I mostly have neutral views on most problems. When online, I’m mostly apolitical and often avoid engaging in political conversations.
