Hizashi’s quirk making singing in a way that sounds ‘good’ virtually impossible—the pitch & volume shift around a little too erratically. but also, the guy loves making music! he DJ’s, he plays multiple instruments, he writes his own songs, & delights in subjecting others to his spontaneous freestyle raps. &—sure—when he’s alone he even sings too, whether or not he’s ‘good’ at it; it’s all about the enjoyment he gets out of it anyway. he just doesn’t do it around people to spare their ears.
then Shouta comes along & it turns out he is completely, 100% tone deaf. they don’t find this out until the 2 of them become roommates out of high school & Shouta catches him singing. Shouta confused when Hizashi tries to laugh it off & apologize, because it turns out Shouta legitimately doesn’t hear anything wrong with Hizashi’s singing. & as a matter of fact, eventually admits to enjoying hearing him sing

hi, here's all of serenade's quotes because if no one else is gonna put them up on the internet then i guess i will!
also included lines that are in the game's language files, but i've never seen in-game. i'm assuming they were cut out because the devs decided serenade constantly backseat gaming during combat was too annoying, but maybe they only happen under specific circumstances i'm not aware of!
UNLOCK DIALOGUE
"Was it you… Was it you that freed me?"
"You smell like rotting flesh… and bloodlust and a lack of respect for life…"
"But don't think I'm just going to follow you around from now on! We could have a lot of fun together… if you remember to treat me well!"
SUMMON
"I missed you so much."
"Where have you been? Who were you with?"
*yawn* … What did you wake me up for?
"I'm not letting you out of my sight ever again."
Who are we fighting!? Ah… who cares!
"It's just me and you from now on."
"It's so much better when we're together."
I hope you've got some food for me.
SMALL TALK (TIMER >10 SECONDS)
I feel like the island has changed a bit… Nah, I must be imagining things.
At least the landscape is nice.
I'm glad I don't have a sense of smell.
That last monster was kinda spicy…
BORED (TIMER <10 SECONDS)
Where's the fight ?
Come on, hit something!
I'm boooored…
Give me monsters!!!
SWITCH TO IN-HAND MODE
Come on! Kill them!
Yes! Let's kill them!
"Nobody handles me like you do."
SWITCH TO SKILL MODE
Let's go hunt some more!
TIMER DEPLETED
You never use me anyway! I'm off.
"We don't kill like we used to anymore…"
Wake me up when there's some action.
You're boring, ciao!
"You're always busy!"
"Why can't we kill things together!?"
TRYING TO PET IN PASSAGE
Never try that again!
No touching!
If you go looking to get sliced, you'll get it…
Okay, we're on!
So long, dummy.
AFTER KILLING OTHER PET
Is there something wrong?
--CUT LINES--
ATTACKING UNMARKED TARGET (SKILL MODE)
I'm preparing this one!
Hey oh~ hey oh~ !
Tayauuh!
ATTACKING MARKED TARGET (SKILL MODE)
Your blood is mine!
Yummy!
Feels good, doesn't it?
TARGET HAS MAX MARKS (SKILL MODE)
This one is ready, let's kill it!
Consume the marks!
ATTACKING UNMARKED TARGET (IN-HAND MODE)
Focus on the marked ones!
I didn't mark this one!
Wrong target!
Lemme mark them first!
ATTACKING MARKED TARGET (IN-HAND MODE)
Yes!
Hit them!
More!
Ahaha!
TARGET HAS MAX MARKS (IN-HAND MODE)
Let me at it!
I wanna eat it!
Release me now!

OTD in Music History: German composer, conductor, and pianist Johannes Brahms (1833 - 1897) dies in Vienna after a long battle with liver cancer -- the very same ailment that had previously killed his father right around the same age.
Brahms made his final public appearance several weeks earlier on March 7, when he dragged himself out of bed to watch famed conductor Hans Richter (1843 - 1916) lead the Vienna Philharmonic in a performance of Brahms's 4th Symphony. The audience was well aware of both Brahms's rapidly declining health and his presence at the concert, and they afforded him an extended standing ovation after each of the four movements of the work.
Brahms remained a staunch agnostic right up until the end. Indeed, the devoutly religious Antonin Dvorak (1841 - 1904) famously expressed his shock after befriending Brahms in the 1870's: "He is such a very fine man, with such a fine soul – and yet he believes in nothing!" When Brahms was asked by conductor Karl Reinthaler (1822 - 1896) to consider adding some more explicitly religious text into his "German Requiem" (1865), his reported response was as follows:
"As far as the text is concerned, I confess that I would have actually gone further in the other direction and gladly omitted even the word 'German', instead using the term 'Human'. I also would have dispensed with passages like John 3:16... On the other hand, I have chosen one thing or another because I am a musician, because I needed it, and because, with such venerable authors, I cannot easily delete or dispute things… But now I had better stop, before I say too much…"
PICTURED: A contemporaneous print of an original photograph showing Brahms lying peacefully on his deathbed (with flowers laid out beside him), which was shot and then commercially issued by Eugen von Miller zu Aichholz (1835 - 1919), a member of a prominent Austrian family with whom Brahms spent much time in his later years. This photograph served as the basis for Ludwig Michalek's (1859 - 1942) famous drawing, viewable here: https://www.pinterest.cl/pin/410320216043474817/
