His work is compelling. I'm in the same university as Yukimura-san, in the music school.

Hard work is key in developing skills and executing ideas, I am not trying to refute that. But inspiration itself is a talent and not always straightforward when it strikes at all of the other places in life. I think you're right in that recognizing and building on those moments of experience takes training.

[sanada_g]

Are you? Then you also must be a hardworking and creative individual. It's a fine school.

If it is inspiration you need, you should go out and experience a variety of things. All excuses for not training hard can be resolved somehow.

[xyzai]

This praise is approaching too weird. I like the school.

I have my own way of finding inspiration, but I can't say it really feels like hard work. More enjoyable than anything.

[sanada_g]

I believe Yukimura does, too.

That is a sign that you are doing something you love. Hard work doesn't mean it can't be enjoyable. I find it very satisfying to meditate and exercise before rest of the family wakes up though I'm sure others would disagree and consider it disagreeable work.

[xyzai]

I think we can agree that what other people think doesn’t matter.

[sanada_g]

No, it doesn't. Especially when you've surpassed them ages ago because you've worked harder and smarter than them.

Even Atobe, who has few redeeming qualities, is an advocate of hard work.

[xyzai]

Is that the nicest thing you’ve ever said about Atobe-san?

[sanada_g]

No. I once mentioned his frivolous spending of money on friends was a rather nice perk of putting up with his ego.

[xyzai]

I think both you and Tezuka-san like to distribute your good things with a side of shade.

[sanada_g]

Ha! Tezuka only wishes he could leave comments as good as mine.

[xyzai]

I enjoy your comments, Sanada-san. Tezuka-san was really cool the other day, though. Even while wearing cat ears, he delivered an insult that really shook the other person.

[sanada_g]

Were you at a costume party? Though it's a bit out of season. Perhaps you were visiting Disney?

[xyzai]

No, I had obtained the ears for doing some radio promotion on my show. I had them afterward and Tezuka-san happened to get involved and resolve a particular situation. I was relieved.

[sanada_g]

Ah... that is an odd thank you gift. And you were fortunate Tezuka decided to help. He is a natural leader when he can be bothered to do so.


And I did not know you have a radio show.

[xyzai]

It is still nice to be thanked for work.

So I saw. It was an impressive display.

My radio show is on at a very inconvient time, so I do not expect many people to listen: it begins at 2am on Wednesday morning and ends around 5am.

[sanada_g]

That is true. And it seems they got some use.

I'm often up before five. Perhaps I can delay meditating to listen to the end of your show one day.

[xyzai]

You can find the information for the radio show here.

Let me know if you happen to — I’ll play something for you.
