Kanji is old, i could be wrong but translating it as 'music' could be a case of losing all the cultural connotations in the translation. If you imagine old, traditional Japanese music, a lot of it could be described as 'comfort' music, aesthetic and relaxed, and it wouldn't be hard to imagine that when they say 'music', that specific kind, it could be better translated as 'relaxing traditional music' rather than modern pop or rock. Always got to remember with translations that different languages use different syntax, whereas we say this music or that music, they might say Kemba or Sinwong, and both would translate as music, but be radically different in their meaning to natives.
Given all that, and again, i could be wrong, i don't speak Japanese, it could be something more like 'Autumn's soft flute played by the mountain stream'... Autumn music... this is pure conjecture though.

I am not sure what do you mean by old. I specifically skimmed for readings of possible kanji that means music and only the onyomi of 楽 (raku) gives us ra for the two-kanji name. If you want traditional Japanese music there's a specific word for it 邦楽 hougaku. I am just speculating because this kanji has plenty of meanings, first that come to my mind are - fun, ease, paradise, music, relief, pleasure and some more synonyms, but those are the ones I do remember.
Re: Moonflare already mentioned about japanese explaining how to write their names by naming other words where those kanji are used with needed readings. The thing is, apart from old style Japanese names which where usually quite dumb (especially for girls with every name ending with -ko(子 child), but parents tend to give their own interpretation of kanjis they use in a name for their child. So is it seleboba with blatant use of ''the meaning is the same as the reading example'' or it was just helping Uta to understand how to write and/flirt, cuz, well, music and music. Until stated otherwise we can guess however we want, especially because 秋 (aki) can also be used to read as toki and oh boy, I don't have to mention how WE LOVE TIME/SEASONS in this game.

What?! It's not 明 (bright, light)? Since I always assume it's one character like other male members of Arakawa family - Nozumu (望) or Yuu (悠).
Anyway back to Akira あきら, if it's really written as 秋楽 then it would be very interesting. Since 楽 not only can refer to music when combining with 音 (sound) but also a general feeling of joyfulness. Like in 快楽, which means, as you probably already guessed, happiness.

Make sure to choose the color black.
I've asked you guys of this many times before.
One day you will have to choose.
Please, choose black.

According to this

But with such obvious kanji choice there are only meanings we can play around. I mean we could technically use 旻(akizora) (and make it 旻楽）, but this is a chinese one, not our place

Wow I really enjoyed this update, it's too sad that we will have to wait an extra month for the next one with so much slowly getting set up. Uta's new events probably resonated with me the most, but I loved Yumi's progress just as much. Maki's were also suprisingly moving. Anyways I'm gonna gush and get a bit personal about Uta's event first before I gotta go to work if anyone cares. I may make another post about my thoughts on Maki's events later.
EDIT: Geez, I got off work and gave this a quick reread and I really must've been in a rush because the syntax was all over the place. Too many thoughts, too little time I guess. Cleaned it up a bit and made it read a bit more naturally. Now I'm gonna go revisit Maki's events and decide if I had any thoughts worth sharing.

Derped had on this one until I also read the Moonflare post. It's not just nightch4, it's ch4nightmenu. It should also specify the entire line instead of just the condition, I think.
"Bathhouse" if iospring1 == True and iospring5 == True and day < 5 and utaspring3 == False

It was a good update but a sad one.
I like how Akira is still so confused.

One of the better updates as of late, I truly enjoyed it, in more ways than one. All the events are well written and the overall quality is pretty much as high as it gets.
The Yumi events were absolute peak and I'm positively surprised how good and positive they were - that is on the account of Sensei just being nice and doing nice things for her and such, which is I suppose what I had wanted the most at this point. And also Yumi warming up to Akira, being more honest with her feelings, such joy to read, in spite of the overall sadness and tragedy surrounding the whole thing.

In the event with Uta and Sensei in the tunnel you can see Grow Old Then Die. I guess its a reference to Tsurumi and Kanon in Rain king
