I was thinking of "some precious fruits hanging on a tree, and they taste SO good". this really fell in place by itself together with creating a story for 燥 (火) ソウ, はしゃ.ぐ parch, dry up - because with the help of a FIRE, those fruits can be desiccated to conserve them.quetzacoatlnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6842114.post-41855107593602244022013-08-30T20:49:10.355+09:002013-08-30T20:49:10.355+09:00Karaoke means “hollow orchestra” in Japanese.

Area of the attraction is for the beginner to wrest the microphone away from the superstars and, for a second, to take their particular place in the limelight. Karaoke is usually ersatz efficiency doubling since appropriation art. <a href="http://www.karaokemachinereviews.biz" rel="nofollow">Karaoke players</a><br /><br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09988824537426226265noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6842114.post-18878539952035625652013-08-20T18:58:12.159+09:002013-08-20T18:58:12.159+09:00Fantastic!Fantastic!Celestahttp://bestrowingmachinereviews.us/2013/08/15/find-your-pace/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6842114.post-71046595835835892012013-05-10T09:03:31.791+09:002013-05-10T09:03:31.791+09:00Thanks for posting this.

A few years ago, when they were still together, I used to love a Japanese band called Lareine, and the lead singer cited Mauriat as one of his influences. I've never heard the song in your post before, but I can definitely hear how it influenced Japan's Romance aesthetic (Rose of Versailles and such...the same theme Lareine went for). <br /><br />Anyway, thanks for reminding me of this! It's a nice memory :DAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12173979650115291648noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6842114.post-64617001965407959062012-05-01T10:25:16.537+09:002012-05-01T10:25:16.537+09:00I'm still weird-ed out by the fact that the wo...I'm still weird-ed out by the fact that the work for MONK is three words in Indoeuropean (5000BC) (referring to the Subject in the third person-to Give -to sieve) which i assume is a reference to flour.
