Feburary 8th

I had lunch with two of my Japanese friends yesterday for the first time in half a year.
We'd met in Copenhagen during our exchange, and we've seen each other about three times a year, even after returning to Japan.
I really appreciate that we have kept in touch for almost four years.
This time, we talked about our hobbies. One of them said that she started learning the drums lately because she wanted to be able to play her favorite artist's songs.
The other one was trying to find her new hobbies. During university days, she often rode a bike, but she hasn't done it recently because of her busyness.
In my case, I guess it might be good for my health to start playing a new sport. I'm looking for a gym, but I've not found a favorite one yet.

I had lunch with two of my Japanese friends yesterday for the first time in half a year.

We'd originally met in Copenhagen during our exchange, and we've seen each other about three times a year since then, even after returning to Japan.

I really appreciate that we have kept in touch for almost four years.

This time, we talked about our hobbies.

One of them said that she started learning the drums lately because she wanted to be able to play her favorite artist's songs.

The other one was trying to find her new hobbies.

During university days, she often rode a bike, but she hasn't done it recently because of her busyness.

"Busyness" is correct and good job getting that because some English speakers get that wrong!

I don't often hear "busyness" used though, so a more natural way to say it could be "because of how busy she has been".

In my case, I guess it might be good for my health to start playing a new sport.

I'm looking for a gym, but I've not found a favorite one yet.

"due to being busy" is a little more natural phrasing for this.

We'd met in Copenhagen during our exchange, and we've seen each other about three times a year ever since, even after returning to Japan.

Your sentence is very good, I am just adding a bit of clarification to make it sound more natural.

The other one was trying to find hersome new hobbies.

During her university days, she often rode awent bikeing, but she hasn't done itso recently because of hershe has been busyness.

“Went biking” is more natural in this sentence.

In my casAs for me, I guess it might be good for my health to start playing a new sport.

“As for me” is more commonly used and natural, but what you had was also correct.

Your English is exceptional! Certain things can only be picked up with practice and only occur to you to learn once you need to use them, like talking about how busy a friend is. Good thing you are practicing.
