A slow puncture is one possibility - if its on the running surface of the tyre, then you can get it fixed cheaper than getting a new tyre. If its on the sidewall (which is possible if you have recently hit a pothole or a kerb quite hard), then its time to replace the tyre. If you have hit a hole, you may also have damaged the wheel, and opened a tiny hole between it and the beading of the tyre.
Alternatively its a dodgy valve, leaking out slowly.
Get it looked at by a garage, they'll advise what they can do to fix it.

Yes, its possible that you've got a slow puncture, which is, as the name suggests, letting the air out slowly. A faulty valve can also cause the same problem.
If you whip the car into Kwik Fit or some other tyre place, they'll fix the puncture. It normally costs around 15 quid or so.

yes-valve leaking -change. or take car into local tyre dealer and get them to check your tyre (they will normally do it free as they might get to sell you a new tyre!)

There is quite possibly a faulty valve on the wheel. This could be one explanation

5 hours for half empty is pretty quick, if your motivated pump up the tire and spray it down with soapy water, heavy on the soap, make sure you spray the valve, then look for bubbles

Yes it is....you could have a bead leak or a faulty valve. Both are easy and inexpensive to repair.

Yes go to your local tyre fitter and they will sort your problem

May be the valve or the rim. What music did you say it played by the way?
