[It's actually amusing when niisan tries to joke; and Micchi levels a look at him for a few moments before deciding that is in fact what niisan is trying to do. The fact that he follows it up by acknowledging Micchi probably isn't into those sort of things anymore allows Micchi to respond with a wry twist of the mouth rather than annoyance.
Niisan changes the channel. The movie that comes on is set in an orchestra and the main character plays... the violin. Micchi was made to learn the violin as a small child, too. It brings back mixed memories; endless, boring practice - and yet, a happier time of life in general. He gestures to the screen.]
I don't really miss that. Did you have to learn something when you were younger too, niisan?
[Micchi was probably too small to remember, but it could possibly have been the piano? Not because either of them wanted to, just to show they had good breeding.]
