   mmmmm....Asakura-sama....yummy...
I have found my life's love. Daisuke Asakura-sama. ^_^ Love. Bliss. Eternal happiness.
For those of you who have no idea who Asakura-sama is, he is the composer and producer of all of Gravitation's music, he is/was the producer and composer of all of Takanori Nishikawa's (T.M. Revolution's) music, he also works with fayray, RUN&GUN, Yuki Kimura, Kinya Kotani, Yousuke Sakanoue (who Gravitation fans would know as the singer of the theme song SUPER DRIVE), Pool Pit Boys,....and...more...
He was one member of the popular duo Access, along with Hiroyuki Takami. The pair split in 1995 after a three year career together and Asakura-sama continued on in the music business by teaming up with Iceman and (at the same time) starting to work with T.M. Revolution. Then, in 2002 Asakura-sama and Hiroyuki reunited as Access once again, mwah hah hah hah hah hah hah hah!!!!!!

Ahem, so yeah. I love him. He's the reason I want to get into the music business as a producer. He's also my inspiration in my keyboarding studies. I'm taking piano lessons and all...I've even tried my hand at making some music with the keyboards I have...it all sounds mysteriously like Gravitation's stuff. ^_^ At least I'm trying! Daisuke really is my idol though.

I got T.M. Revolution's new CD, Vertical Infinity. It's really amazing! Takanori and Asakura-sama really deliver. ^_^

On a lower note, I have a story for you all.
About 3 years ago my dog Tucker suddenly froze in our backyard. He would not move...or could not move. Tucker was always such a puppy. Even though he was 12 years old he didn't have a mature bone in his body. We were convinced that he had some mental problem where he thought he was still a baby, what a psycho dog! That's why it was so weird that he was acting like this. My mom picked him up and drove him to the vet. When she got there the vet looked over Tucker with a machine and delivered the bad news that Tuck had a tumor on his spleen that was so small that it had never been noticed before. This would not have been a problem but it had burst and now Tuck was bleeding eternally. We knew he was in great pain so we decided to put him down. It was a hard time for all of us, mostly my mom and I. To me (no matter how silly this sounds) Tuck was like my brother. I had never known a day without him because he was with us from the day I was born. My mom had raised him at the same time that she had raised me, he was her son. Him and his sister Ruby were a very important part of our family.

The reason I'm telling you all this is because a friend of mine (whom we all lovingly call Elves Ate My Ramen ^_^) is going through something similar to my experience, though it hopefully won't end as my story did.

I think that it's really important to have support to help ease your fears and sadness when facing the death or pain in the family. I just wanted to find some way to support her and let her know that we are thinking about her. ^_^
Sorry for the long post!
