You can order that book from HMV. I shop there often, and they're really quick with international orders. http://www.hmv.co.jp/product/detail.asp?sku=612820 I don't anything about a piano version of the book, but that one specifically says "guitar" (or GITAA rather) in the title. You could...

I highly recommend Achewood, although it can be a bit hard to get into. You really have to start reading it from the beginning to get to know the characters.

It's been a long time since I've downloaded any anime, but I decided to try The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya because of all the rave reviews it's getting everywhere. Now I see why. I'm only two episodes in and I'm already hooked!

I actually own both, but I haven't even touched my Sony streetstyles in years. If you really want me too I could do a comparison, but I think it's safe to say that you'll be impressed with the KSC75.

Maybe they're being discontinued because of the EP-635? http://www.creative.com/products/pro...&product=14744 If you can find the 630 for a good price, definitely pick them up. I'm really glad I bought them while they were on Amazon.

I finally got around to watching the first episode of the new Hellsing OVA. Somehow I think they managed to make it even more violent than the first series. Other than that, I really haven't been watching any anime lately. My friend recently gave me a crapload of stuff to watch, but it's...

The V6 has some decent isolation, but the highs on it are a little too much for me on some songs. Never tried it for portable use though. You also might want to look at the AKG K-81DJ. I'm thinking of getting one myself.

I highly recommend the Creative EP-630. After a little burn-in they really sound great. You can get them for around $26 shipped from Amazon.

Most of the time when I'm studying or doing homework by myself I'll be listening to music. The only time I find it really distracting is when I'm analyzing something for my music theory class. Trying to think of how a piece of music is supposed to sound while listening to something completely...
