Armi is a musician, though I don't get to use it much. To do that, I do something a little weird, but it works for me. I listen to a lot of Jpop, songs that most Westerners wouldn't hear (Since I don't really listen to anime songs), so I take the translation of those songs, then rewrite the songs into English (making the words still fit the melody, adding English song writing conventions like Rhyme, making them fit the world of Eorzea instead of our world, etc etc) and throw them somewhere so I always have them handy. Usually in her journal. Sometimes, if I feel the backtrack has a lot of guitar or piano, I'll even record new vocals for them.

Then, if it ever comes up in RP - making macros with those song lyrics help or even just having them handy to type up. If I'm around people I'm comfortable with, I'll post a link of my rerecorded version instead so people can hear it.

You can pretty much do this with anything. I just don't want to run around saying Armi wrote "Landslide" or anything, so I use lesser known music. It actually helps me a lot. You can also do this by just... writing your own lyrics without the need of a backing track. Just make sure you describe what kind of song it is.
