"V + 见" is another thing I mostly know from song lyrics, but I do always recognize it in Mandarin, thanks to Andy Lau performing this song all the time (with the repeating chorus "我看不见 / 我听不见 / 天长地久的诺言 / 我只看见 / 我只听见 / 曾经拥有的缠绵"). :)

Some lyrics from 谢霆锋 Mandarin songs:

看见彼此心中的爱一起不孤单 (from 终点站)

看不见自己所有缺点
and
看得见当作没有看见 (from 近视)

Most of the 块 in SHL is talking about pieces of its main MacGuffin, the 琉璃甲. Here's a charming exception:

那疯婆娘说了死一个人要割我一块肉，她说的不是认真的吧？

[nnozomi]

Oh my goodness. Some 疯婆娘 ;)
(Also, I've seen the English for the 琉璃 thing but not the Chinese, that's pretty!)

[nnozomi]

wow, those are powerful! Lines easy to remember too, 看不见自己所有缺点, oh dear.

[nnozomi]

That is an excellent song and an excellent way to memorize 看见 and 听见!

琉璃 also crops up every now and then in non-literal contexts – see the unfairly pretty 琉璃光 (…cloud sea? meteorology is not my thing) up on Alishan for example.

(And of course, mandatory mention of this Zhou Shen song with it in the title 🎵)

[trobadora]

see the unfairly pretty 琉璃光 (…cloud sea? meteorology is not my thing) up on Alishan

Oh wow, that is so pretty! And such a pretty word for it too. :D

[nnozomi]

the unfairly pretty 琉璃光
天哪，太漂亮了，谢谢啊。周深他的声音也很合适。

(I was wondering why it's "glazed" in Chinese and "lapis lazuli" in Japanese, but then I looked closer and found it's actually not the same characters! 琉璃 versus 瑠璃. No idea if they started out the same or not.)
