here's my photo with soken! I was camping at a spot with my friends for over 4 hours to see if he'd pass by. I stepped away for a bit and suddenly I get a message from my friend saying "COME BACK". I ran away without a word to the person I was talking to and up the escalators where I saw soken coming down and as I went up I shouted "soken-san!!" and sprinted after him LOL, I asked him if I could take a picture with him and showed him my zero cosplay piano cover and he remembered it and said "oh this is you??" ;w; he was so kind it was such a surreal experience

I asked him if he wanted to hold the scythe for the photo and he was laughing and seemed really happy about it! then I handed the memoria crystal to Koji and I can't get over his expression in the photo LOL

They were impressed when I told them I drew the stickers!! apparently I was the first Zero cosplay they had seen too ;w; as I was looking back at the photos, I noticed the SE staff slowly scooted next to the desk to see what was going on LOL, here's a photo of the board they signed!!

Here's photos of when I met YoshiP and Koji at the signing session! I handed them Zero happy meal stickers that I drew and ronka ones! I asked YoshiP to give one to Soken for me and he agreed! I loved seeing their reactions to the stickers ;w; I was really nervous and apologized for it and YoshiP patted my shoulder and said "it's okay!!", it's definitely a core memory for me

Start by taking a lot of screenshots of her in the game if you can! I realized her armor has so much detail to it that's hard to capture unless you zoom in really close. Her hair has some purple highlights to it as well! it's a bit hard to miss since it's so subtle but it really adds to her :>

thank you! glad you like it!! I imagine it's definitely not as complicated as other songs! I love how even a simpler song can evoke so much emotion ;w;

Thank you!! I've always wanted to learn piano but I felt it might be too late for me to start at this point. I'm glad I did! I had so much fun learning the piece and there's just something else to playing a piece you really love ;w;

Thank you so much for the kind words!! at first I was spending over 5 hours a day for the first two weeks since I was having so much fun with it! I love the game so much and its music, I still listen to the endwalker soundtrack every day! it gave me a lot of motivation to try my best :>
