Hello! My name is Lee Gyu-hyuk, I'm a recent arrival. I'm from South Korea, which is on Earth for those of you who are unfamiliar. It's so nice to meet people from other worlds here.

Before I arrived here, I was on a televised contest for musicians. I enjoy music, and was studying it prior to the show. I was wondering if anyone has studied music at the Lunatia Academy and whether you have any advice for someone who would like to do the same. I would really appreciate any thoughts you might have! :]

In the meantime, I am looking for a job. I understand that several moonblessed own businesses. I'm a hard worker and I learn quickly. If anyone is looking to hire another moonblessed, I would like to be considered.

Okay, I think that was everything! Before I go, let me leave with a(n 80s inspired) question:

What’s the most embarrassing fashion trend you used to rock?

A televised music competition...! I'd love to hear more about that sometime, since it may overlap a little with my work back home.

I'm Sougo Ousaka, and I've been working as an idol both here and back home. It's a pleasure to meet you.

I can't say I'm familiar with the academy itself, but I've been studying music in my own time, and do side work as in-house composer and audio engineer for one of the talent agencies here. While it's not a professional course, I have plenty of online lessons and resources I'd be happy to send your way.

What type of music are you trying to study? Singing, songwriting, instruments, mixing, producing... Whatever you're interested in, I'll try to help however I can.

It sounds like our experiences might be a similar. Our show, Buried Stars, featured public contestants with a variety of musical styles. It was getting to be really popular, our season was the fourth season and it was the biggest they'd done yet.

[ yes......they are kpop idols ]

That's great that you've found time to study even while working like that! I studied applied music before, but I wasn't able to finish my degree. While I was on BStars, I wrote all of my songs, too. I find that part really relaxing, but the singing is nice too. I can play a little piano, but I'd like to improve my skills.

Finishing my degree would be nice. I took time off for the show, but I really liked being in school. Regardless, I'd love to hear your music sometime. If you have a show coming up, you should let me know :]

[koboreta]

I see. I'll admit that I've never been an avid viewer of programs like that, but they seem like an incredible way to build your path to the stage. I'd love to hear more about it, if you ever have the time.

[He's more used to appearing on variety programs and talk shows and the like, but as long as there's music, colour Sougo intrigued.]

But really, you're giving me more credit than I deserve. Rather than studying as a student, I do it in the hopes of learning new things as a musician.

Fufu. Maybe we're somewhat alike after all. Writing your own songs is much more difficult than people realize, so I truly respect that sort of dedication. If nothing else, I'd be happy ask around my agency about the academy's music program. I'm sure someone must know something about it.

Ah... I'm sorry, I wasn't intending for what I said to come across as boasting. But if you're sure, I'd be happy to share my music with you. In exchange, if the opportunity ever arises, I'd love to hear yours!

[scholarshipping]

I don't mind talking about it - as long as I get to hear some of your story in turn!

I'd appreciate that, though, thank you. It seems like there are a lot of opportunities, here. But those opportunities can also be a little overwhelming. ^^;

You didn't come off as boasting, don't worry. You should be proud of your accomplishments, anyway! How long have you been here?

[koboreta]

Gladly!

It's no trouble at all. Everything is intimidating when you look at it from afar and see nothing but choices, but once you start to navigate those opportunities little by little, you can pinpoint what you want to focus on.

Ahaha... Thank you. I'll try to keep that in mind. But to answer your question, I've been here for a while, though I've only started doing solo work recently.

[scholarshipping]

That's really good advice, actually. I'll have to keep it in mind.

[ he's terribly indecisive so hearing that...yes, he should really keep it in mind!! ]

It's really admirable that you've found a niche like that for yourself.

[koboreta]

You flatter me. It's really not that impressive - I just can't stay away from music. And my unit partner was here for a while, so it wasn't as difficult as starting on my own.

But I'm glad to hear that it helped. I don't know how much I'll be able to assist you, but if there's ever anything I can do, please let me know.

I will, thank you. I hope I'll be able to do the same, for you.
