Ah, it's good to be back.

Universities that close your account over the Christmas-NewYear brea,k

shot.

It's a sad fact (in my opinion :) that New Zealand is far more music
concious than Japan concious. I know virtually everything listed above, but
I have to disagree. This sort of music does not suit anime. The area of the
Japanes music industry that is attached to the anime industry produces a
very unique selection of music, quite delightfully so, and I wouldn't want
to have it replaced by the sort of music I hear every day from radios all
over town.

One of my greatest fears is that the Megami movie, now unlikely to be
translated and released by AnimEigo, will have a the music re-done by
American pop-singers a la Sailor Moon. Yasuda Takeshi's brilliant
instrumentals and the gorgeous voices of the GFC are quintessential to the
brilliance of Aa! Megamisama! and should not be replaced under any
circumstances. I really want to know who *will* be getting the license for
the movie in th US, so that I (and the rest of you :) can bombard them with
disuasive e-mail on the subject, should the thought have even entered their
minds. Hmph.
