Well their reaction would probably be "look at the big text" maiotaku memeber: wtf?! O_o. I don't even think they would bother to read a stranger¨s long text lol unless you really are bored haha! xD It was really a beautiful piece from Keiko-chan, I never been good at expressing why I like music but Dream of the Cherry Blossoms makes me happy and dreamlike if you can understand that. xD Wow good luck with learning Dream of the Cherry Blossoms it looks insanely hard!! >_< Well I will try Canon in D again after i'm finish with learning FF series ost by Nobuo Uematsu! ᕙ(⇀‸↼‶)ᕗ Games really give you a chance to listen to gorgeous music sometime! I recently started noticing I liked choir a lot and I agree with you its amazing what human voice can do but I also think the fellowship between people who sings make it beautiful too. I feel like i'm in my own sanctuary when I listen to choir but then again choir can also be aggressive which I also like to hear sometime. I still prefer the calm most of the time though. I have never heard Agnus Dei, I listened to it and I enjoyed it! :) I have no preference in chorus or choir. I like both of them. As for opera I wouldn't listen to the whole wagner in one go either haha! xD I like to hear opera a little bit, the one who really open my heart to opera is Nella fantasia song by Javier Fontana and Choi Sung Bong best male version, they have a powerful magnificent voice and its my favorite opera song! :) I also really like Andrea Bocelli especially melodramma! Im not sure of the difference of oratorios and opera, but of oratorios music I have heard is Bach Christmas which I enjoy to hear sometime. I love Messiah by Handel it makes me so happy every time I hear it and its a lovely piece!! （＾Ｏ＾☆♪ Wow that must be cool to have such a talented artist in your university! :O haha and it sucks for you that you weren't there when she was in your university that time!! xD Well depend on how serious you are in your music, as I remember one say that talent is 1% and hard-work is 99%. :) You can always watch her concert live even though its expensive! XD But I think still think that you will be even more epic with your skill level in the future! even though I haven't heard your play! :) Well first I need to learn the basic in Japanese language! then maybe you can help with pronunciation and especially the writing stuff lol! xD Skype can always do the job. :P I think its normal that people would be weird-ed out with the new culture to begin with! like your parent and friends! xD My parent is different, they always get curious about new stuff, its rarely I see them bored lol. The only time I shocked them out was that I begun to like classical music, operas, choir stuff!( I was original, a rock, punk and metal lover ) xD Hm, I convinced my parent how beautiful Japanese music could be by giving my favorites out! :P I don't know if you know "hime monoke theme song" by Yoshikazu Mera and Spirited away: Always with me, these are one of my favorite songs I recommend it if you haven't heard them! Maybe you could convince them by showing how amazing Japanese music can be!(ﾉ> ◇ <)ﾉ♪ but still I haven't showed my friends them yet, I don't think they are that interested in music as I am lol. xD What are your favorite Japanese song? :3 I always wondered why there are so many girls who doesn't like games or it feels like they hate it lol. :P but cool you are going to try it later! ヽ(´▽｀)ノ any MMORPG you have on your mind you wanna try? I can imagine Mexico being pretty and ya I will be careful of those tourist traps haha! xD Wow cool someone who actually like history! :D When I was in school I hated almost every subjects ( mostly because the teacher didn't appeal me to my interest ) But my History and Danish teacher could at least! As you I was also a nerd in history, heck I even enjoyed reading all the Egyptian, Greek, Indian and northern myths. xD There are so many people who I have met doesn't find history interesting sadly.. I mean history is important to learn from our mistakes and its also fascinating how our old generation lived. History taught me that you cant trust everything what you read on text, you always have to get your "skeptical glasses" when you read. :) What interested me most in my school days where myths and historical battles and famous tactician like Napoleon. Today my interest sighted more in political and ethic questions in the history, even though its depressing to see humanity to be cruel, I still find it fascinating. Example the crusaders in Europe, I mean the crusaders wasent that "holy" as you thought when you were young. Also The pope how he manipulated people feelings, really amusing and cruel at the same time. Ironically enough this manipulation still happen today haha, we haven't learned a single thing from history at all, we only learned that things are repeating sadly.. as we see today, the war against the hidden enemy aka the terrorist same concept, its really fun comparison but at the same time very sad. xD What are your favorite history event? Haha you never know if you have asian blood! xD If I remember correctly, the Indians or the native american are actually Asian who immigrated to US. Wow waiting for a plane long time sucks, I know the feeling happen to me many times lol! Sounds like your travel in Puerto Rico had a bad ending and ended up as a bad memory! xD I remember when I had an educational school trip to Barcelona but it was suppose to be educational but turned out to be party almost every day hahaha! At the end of our trip our flight was delayed and everyone was just tired and annoyed due to our hangover and the rush in the early morning lol! xD

I'm not the most music literate in the world when you say "specific pieces" do you mean a particular song, like a specific Mozart symphony?

There is, but I don't think they are nothing more but just skin overs for the game to imitate an actual game. Yeah, sure ^^ Diablo 3 isn't that bad.. but you die alot. And if you're ever on.. I can show you some rpgs. :D

Hahahaha!! (*≧▽≦)ﾉｼ)) Dont worry I always write whats on my mind without thinking lol and I was surprised as well! You should see all my friends here when they saw this text wrote: "Omg Blackmage you just wrote a novel in a comment!" xD Me:" Well I just beat the maiotaku record, didnt I?" <(￣︶￣)> Well im happy you enjoyed my long comment! xD Interesting, hm I dont know :P I think everyone is interesting in their own way. I mean its long time I heard about marimba players, so I guess its natural that it caught my interest since I love music! (ﾉ> ◇ <)ﾉ♪ I looked up Rhythm Song, By Paul Smadbeck, first of all I really enjoyed the music of this piece! :3 I dont know why but I feel like im in a jungle, it has a exotic sound. ;P The 2 artist I liked was Evelyn Glennie and Joseph Gramley. Keiko abe was amazing!! Did she create "Dream of the cherry blossoms" herself? I think I get it why you like marimba now. :3 Talk about hard pieces I really want to learn Pachelbel's Canon in D on acoustic guitar and the el guitar version which is called canon rock! by a Japanese! Sadly its so hard for me to learn lol! Just a question what is your opinion on opera and choir? :3 Aww Badminton is really fun! its like fast paced dancing xD Hehe yeah, one of the good thing about this university ^_^. Hmm, If you are super duper great and Keiko Abe aint a racist then I think you would be able to! :D And yes I will take a lot of picture, be warned some might be totally strange! xD Well I understand that you want to speak correctly or else those Japanese people will laugh when speak. xD Well im kinda used to it not speaking perfect since I was small, even my first language (^^;) that was more because I could talk since I was little due to my hearing problems :P Yeah English is my secondary language. Well I wouldnt say im perfectionist it just happen I learned it from many games! ;) Beside in Denmark I got a bad grade in written assignment in English and danish.. lol (⌒_⌒;) but it makes me happy that you think im better than the most of native speakers! xD Anyway cool! then when im going to learn Japanese from you! (^^) Hm, well the only who liked those Japanese music was my mom but then again shes Asian! xD Well SAO described very well MMORPG, in MMORPG I used to be a solo player for a long time, of course talked to people in there but played alone. In my experience now its even more fun to play with people you can be with in the game. :P I already did it in this forum and I got 3 people now Yahoo! xD Well I would like to go to US someday! :P I really want to see mexico! and I just love the US history sorry for being nerdy here! xD Well Japan and china their old building and history is fascinating! And Australia the desert seems very beautiful I would like to picture and see with my own eyes also the coral reef in Australia should be very beautiful there. The Europe its more history, food and buildings! :) Well I dont normally party and go out much unless its a MMORPG or in other countries.(ﾉ◕ヮ◕)ﾉ*:・ﾟ✧ How do you feel about history in other countries? Well anything is possible only you who choose your path or else I will give you picture from different countries I have been on. :P Well yeah I enjoy being unique with this mix of bloods! xD But arent American a mix country? xD I mean Dutch, German, English, Spain, Portuguese and France immigrated to US :P so you might be one of those from your grand grand grand grand....parent. (ﾉ≧∀≦)ﾉ Well you have a saying on Philippines, The Western people do deals over the table, The Chinese do deals under the table and the Philippines do deals including the table. haha! xD I dont know how I manage to get out its a mystery! and it was on a beach which I didnt expect, I mean you dont see quicksand in beaches in movies! O_o Why did you get stuck in Puerto Rico? :3 So true I mean I learned a lot from different people in the outside world and also exchange experience with tourist is enjoyable too. Well when I have money and planning to go to US then I will visit you and ask you to be my tour guide! ヽ(*≧ω≦)ﾉ Oh shoot! I wrote it too long again!
