Since Kanda is walking distance to where I work, I came in to read my 
e-mail today (saw the show twice today...more on that later)

I think he thought he was a relatively good singer...the best among all 
of this race, who were all terrible.  He was quick to point out to the 
prince that Ami and the Star senshi were much better than him...

Even Kenny wouldn't want this version!  (^_^;;)

I'd like to think so...but it would be easy for them to just cut the song 
off and have her start speaking again when tey were singing...

I went to the 1:00 showing today, and got there just when it was about to 
start.  Since I'd seen it before I wasn't in a hurry to get a seat, so I 
went to buy a shave ice.  Then I heard the voice to introduce the show, 
and it sounded really nice...kinda like Kouda Mariko's high voice.  I got 
out of line to see who it was.  Wasn't Mariko, but a very cute girl just 
the same.  

After the SM show she said they were having a quiz at 2:00 (different 
from last time...kids got on stage and went to one side or the other 
depending on whether they thought the answer was true or false)  So 
when the SM show ended, I ran out, bought a portable camera, and came 
back.  I then proceded to use nearly the whole thing up taking pictures 
of her during the quiz show.  (^_^;;)

A couple of minutes after it was done, I was getting a drink of water, 
and she came up to me!  She asked me who I was taking pictures of, and I 
said, "Uh...you"  When she asked me why I said something about her having 
a great voice and wanted some picutes^H^H^H^H^H^H^H to remember her by 
when she became a famous seiyuu.  Or something like that anyway.  (^_^;)

Anyhow, we ended up talking for a while and she was really nice.  She 
said she had lived in Chicago for a couple years (her English was a 
little bit better than my Japanese...)  When I said I worked for Hitachi 
she really freaked out, and said she worked for Hitachi a couple of years 
ago herself!  She had to get ready for the next show, but we exchanged 
phone numbers, and said she'd be willing to help me out with my Japanese 
sometime.  (^_^)  I stayed to see her work the 3:00 show, then after 
waiting for a few minutes I left.  But she said she was working there 
again Friday, so I may have to get come again and check out some kids 
show I've never heard of... (^_^;)
