Each year, I always write a new song a week before my birthday to record my growth. This year's song is already done and I'm pretty happy with it. I hope you'll be happy with it, too. I trust your taste in music, so do share your thoughts with me!

As a matter of fact, I recently carved a miniature Guqin from Cuihua Wood. I originally wanted to make it into an ornament, but the wooden finish is so smooth and the sound it makes ain't bad. Looks like I've really underestimated the malleability of Cuihua Wood!

Good things are often made better when shared with good friends! Oh right, I got you some wood materials. In addition to making instruments that rock, it can also be used to make ornaments and furniture... If you don't know how to work the wood, that's okay. You can tell me your ideas, and we can work on it together!

How've ya been? I'm sure you've traveled to many places, made a couple friends, and had quite a few memorable adventures. Well, I've been making progress every day, too!

I just found that plants and music go really well together! Take Flaming Flowers for example, the way they sway in the flame is rather eurythmic, hehe...

So I'm gonna hold a special performance on my birthday this year. With Flaming Flowers surrounding the stage, I will spice up my new songs with fiery enthusiasm. And you mustn't miss out on this show!

Anyways, I look forward to meeting you. I'll give 110% and convey my excitement and joy to you through my songs!

Couple days ago while I was dining in the Wanmin Restaurant, a "friend of rock" from Fontaine recognized me and asked for an autograph! But this one was surprised by what I was eating and said a singer like me should avoid spicy foods...

But there's no way I could squeeze a song out if I have to live on bland, tasteless food all the time.

Besides, I realized that if I inhale hard after eating spicy food, I can make use of an underutilized vocal resonance area to add flavors to my singing. I've been working hard to master it!

So for my birthday, I'll eat all the spicy I want and use that super-husky voice to sing something really rock 'n' roll!

I need an audience to bear witness to this brand-new technique, so you better be there, or be square!

Long time no see, but word about you? Oh, it just keeps coming! Your friends are all thinking of you, and of course, that includes me!

I heard Natlan's got blazing Fire Towers, steaming hot springs, and, most exciting of all, record stores and independent musicians! So, I've already made up my mind — Someday, I'm gonna throw a fiery rock concert there! As for the headliner... I'd like to invite you to produce it with me! If you're cool with that, please tell me some of your red-hot stories. I just know that fierce, ever-burning fire in you will inspire countless listeners and audiences! Haha, myself included, of course!

I'll be cheering you on, screaming my lungs out! Let's roooock!

Alright, you might laugh, but... I've been a little stuck lately. Been writing plenty of new tracks, but none of them hit quite right. They've got the notes, but not the fire.

Someone suggested I try diving to clear my head — said the quiet underwater might help me reset. So I gave it a shot. At first, I thought being underwater would feel calm, like everything's moving in slow motion. But turns out, there's a lot more going on down there than I expected. Currents, pressure shifts... It's intense! And right in the middle of all that, this wild idea hit me: What if I did a rock show underwater?

Yeah, sounds impossible. The sound would be different, the setup's a nightmare, and my flame — my pride and joy — how's that supposed to burn if everything's soaking wet?

But hey, rock 'n' roll isn't about playing it safe. It's about breaking the rules, chasing the impossible, and turning the impossible into "just another gig."

That little spark of an idea's already caught in my chest. Now I just need to fan it into a real blaze. So... wish me luck. And when the time comes, you better be ready to dive in and rock out!
