Hello everybody!

THE MADNESS IS OVER, Solutions are below the hints. Comments are welcome! I may be making another quiz giveaway in the near future :)

tl:dr This is the first quiz: http://www.itstoohard.com/puzzle/xwjHkZme

I said that I would be making a music quiz the other day, and here it is, as promised! :D

Since I'm stuck studying here in Japan right now, all of the songs featured have something to do with this general region! Don't worry if you don't speak the language, I've tried to make it so even people who don't have any knowledge of Japanese can participate! There are a total of 5 giveaways to be won (totaling over ~$100), so there are 5 quizzes. With each quiz the questions get progressively harder, but the value of the prizes also increases accordingly. The giveaways will end approximately 8 days from now. Good luck!

Edit: This quiz now has a dedicated Steam Group. Perhaps it would be useful to join? http://steamcommunity.com/groups/mqbd/
