I've read that this is quite a nuanced topic, but I had 2 questions that I still wanted to ask about.
Why is this pronoun used so often in poetry, songs, fiction, etc., especially romantic ones? What history or meaning is there behind such use of the word?
From what I read (although I definitely may be wrong), it's extremely rare to hear "kimi" in daily life at all. But what about in privacy? For example, two friends of the same age (maybe young like 20s) gender and equal status in general, if they did use a second pronoun, would it be kimi? If they did use kimi how is it perceived?
