Music is really fucking important in my life. I get very upset when my iPod battery is dead or it's deciding to be a bitch and crap out on me.

I have a presentation today in Japan Today with Kingston, and a speech on the 19th in Japanese with Koyama. Guess what my topics are?

Yep, VISUAL FUCKING KEI. =D
