 ### simulations {#sims}
 these games are arguably role-playing games, but don't focus on the traditional battle mechanics of classic JRPGs or the western-style adventure RPGs and instead focus on some kind of simulation gameplay; whether that's running a farm, a restaurant, or taking care of tenants, there's some kind of management going on, and usually some amount of crafting & gathering as well. this is easily my favorite genre of game. no point bolding anything here as they're all favorites.

 ### japanese idols {#japanese-idols}
 I first got into idol music back in the days of [LiveJournal](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LiveJournal) (~2002). I had been visiting random anime & Asian music websites I'd come across while surfing the web in the late 90's and eventually found my way to LJ music sharing communities, where I was introduced to [Minimoni.](https://helloproject.fandom.com/wiki/Minimoni), a subgroup of a larger idol group called [Morning Musume.](https://helloproject.fandom.com/wiki/Morning_Musume). I was instantly in love. The first idol song I ever heard was [Minimoni. Hinamatsuri](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FXEDWNt-G_M), which was a double A-side single with a song I liked much more, [Mini. Strawberry Pie](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hg9zGtAIDJg). From the moment I heard it, I was hooked: I learned as much as I could about this group and became very interested in idols (a term I'd never heard of before, maybe in manga or anime, but never really understanding what it meant) and began following the group and its subgroups new releases. To this day, Morning Musume. holds a place near and dear to my heart... >w<
