"Beachhips"?  Don't you mean "Peachlips"?
Not that I have any aversion to beach hips, of course...

I still think it's a little soon to start using the past tense to
describe those times, but I really have no idea what's going on nowadays,
so I'm not really the one to pass judgement.

Aside:  Hitoshi, have you ever lost one of your Japanese seiyuu friends
or acquaintances to R.L.?
