{ heya— thanks a bunch for this ask! i'm always down to expand on both my take on joshua and the lore and world-building of his own world; so here're a few pieces of information:

— the longer someone joshua knows sits around him for an extended period of time, the more likely it is he'll prop his phone up against them and use them as a phone stand.

— he can actually sing pretty well, but only if he's either extremely inebriated, or in the company of someone he's exceptionally comfortable with. otherwise, he can't bring himself to sing wholeheartedly— intentionally singing off-key or offbeat.

— aside from reading, or attempting to perfectly clear mobile rhythm game charts, another thing joshua often does to pass the time while out, is watching movies (and sometimes shows) on his phone. he always wears earphones while doing so, so one would have to ask him or get a look at his phone screen in order to know whatever it is he's watching; and what he is watching can range from episodes of anime series he enjoys to obscure, yet incredibly frightening horror films to culinary documentaries.

— locations within his version of Shibuya are referred to and known by the names designated to them in the second game — their real-world names — such as O-EAST instead of "A-East", Parco instead of "Molco", Mark City instead of "Pork City", and so on, along with the exclusion of 104 in this naming scheme.

— those on the UG — as well as on all other planes higher than the RG — don't bleed or bruise when injured; instead, they emit static exhaust from the wounded area, or experience visual distortions around it in a manner akin to monitor glitches. and for higher beings such as joshua and sanae, this is the only way in which their injuries manifest— even in the RG, if they don't think to conceal it with illusions of blood or other signs of injury.
