That's fine, I'm starting to get busy too with life these days. Good luck for it! CE exam is for university entrance??
I haven't heard of Kanata Hongo haha. I used to love BoA, before she went to America, these days she just doesn't seem to be that special. I liked Ayaka too, boy can she sing! I'm slowly getting into some light j-rock, like some B'z songs, SCANDAL as well as RnB titles from Kana Nishino.
Suzuki Ami is actually performing this Thursday in Brisbane at a club, but I don't think I'll go, cos I haven't really heard of her either haha. HK at least has it's own Akiba at the Sino Centre, and other place to buy anime goodies. Australia is a bit less - we don't have the population!
So do you use Facebook/Skype/MSN? I'd love to get to know you better on that! Might be a bit easier to communicate I think?
