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...

I have the EP-630s and I find them quite bass heavy. If you have them in correctly, the sound around you should seem muffled, almost like you're wearing ear plugs.

I finally decided to buy a KSC75 yesterday because of all the praise they're getting here, and I have to say that they definitely live up to the hype! I might just make them my new portable phones. The sportclip style does take a bit of getting used to though. To fewtch: I wear glasses and I...

Avoid the Apple In-Ears at all costs. The sound is incredibly "tinny", with hardly any bass at all. Even the iPod buds have better sound. Plus they don't even isolate that well. I can't believe Apple gets away with selling these for $40. The Creatives on the other hand are a little bass...

Hmm... I bought the HD555 not too long ago, but I was also considering the A900. Would it really be worth it to sell my HD555 and scrape together some extra cash for the A900? Jeez, and I thought I had just gotten over upgrade-itis...

I own the HD 555 which I listen to unamped from my computer. I think they're OK for rock music, but you might find the bass impact lacking if you're looking for some really punchy bass. Music that seems to excel on the 555 for me is jazz, classical, or anything that's not really "heavy". I...

I use iTunes for music and VLC for most videos. I really wish that iTunes would support more video codecs so I could just use it for everything.
