@O__O: interrogate your cousin and find out where he bought it!!! @MAURIZIO6MANDI: of course we are (I am) biased, you won't tell me that you're not biased about the things you love, right? I like the definition "the Sailormoon of the moment" (as little applicable as it may be in this case), I'm stealing this and writing it down! And I hate Tarantino, so for me, he's not much of a reference.

@O__O: where did you buy it, from CD Japan circuits or similar, or from their shop? Can you send me the link where you bought it, please? Thanks in advance! As for the idols: look, in my opinion, they have the great merit of having expanded the market, and the horrible flaw of having polluted it; luckily, every now and then a decent one comes out, but you can really count them on the fingers of one or at most two hands. About Salyu, unknown in Italy: another great artist is KOKIA, very well-known in France where she releases her CDs; here’s "Ai no Field," the ending theme of the anime "Brain Powerd," sung by her... it’s EXCEPTIONAL, BREATHTAKING: P.S.: I reciprocate the excellent link to "I BELIEVE" with something I hope you might like, "Replay" by Plastic Tree P.P.S.: do you have an account on Last.fm?

@O__O: yes, there's an amateur video or a live on YouTube, I don't remember, anyway I heard it and I find it absolutely splendid. Actually, I wanted to download—uh, get something from Salyu for a long time, and now that the best has come out, it was perfect, but I can't find it anywhere. I'll wait patiently. As for the Japanese artists unknown in the West, I totally understand you: you promote Salyu, I promote Plastic Tree who (just like your beloved singer-songwriter) could perfectly thrive in our market, yet... I don’t know.

Beautiful review, an artist I know by name and from a few music videos: more than enough to make me give a high rating due to the extremely high artistic level. If it weren't a best of, it could easily aspire to five stars.

Great review and an excellent album: aside from the fact that I've been following Bugo for four albums and so my judgment might be somewhat biased, Cristian has really reached a high level here. The meticulously crafted fusion of Rino Gaetano and Lucio Battisti has achieved perfection, and out of 9 songs (plus intro and outro), at least 6 are truly memorable for their inspired lyrics, captivating music, and perfect arrangements: I’d say that’s a decidedly high average (and the other three aren’t bad either). Keep it up, Bugo, you're doing great; currently, you are THE best in Italy.

I've only seen sporadic episodes of the cartoon and read a few issues of the comic, but it's the only work by Takahashi that I don't know 100%: apart from "Urusei Yatsura", I've seen and read everything else she has produced so far! ^_^''' The little I've seen and the statements from my friends (they say that everything that came after "Urusei Yatsura" was already there in germ) are enough for me to know that this cartoon and the related comic are cornerstones of comedy: Takahashi is a genius and has only written amazing stuff (even "Inu Yasha", certainly her weakest creation, is still better than 99% of the other cartoons out there today). Five stars is the minimum.

@Jukan: I’m not downplaying the potential beauty of this game at all, I simply wrote that I don’t know it and that it deals with themes that are usually very easy to slip on like a banana peel.

From the way you talk about it, the more you try to praise it, the less I like it. The beginning that you adore seems to me utterly ridiculous, but alright. Furthermore, all the stories about psychology, the divine, and everything in between turn out, in 99.9% of cases, to be a load of nonsense attempting desperately to add depth to something that either lacks it or doesn’t need it (a quick example: in the last episode of the quite enjoyable TV show "Eli Stone," they ramble on about theological matters in a way that is, to say the least, absurd). Having not played this famous title, I cannot say whether the themes you mentioned are treated well or not, and I hope they are, but I have strong negative suspicions; nonetheless, not having played it, I can’t vote. I’ll open a small parenthesis: paraphrasing you, “I have come to the conclusion that what I was looking for in an RPG was not given to me by any other game in the way that 'WILD ARMS' has managed to do”; that, now that’s a great game, perfect in every way, balanced in every respect, and free from intellectual pretentiousness (and it’s also my favorite saga).
