The new car that Ai designed is really cute. Also, I can't wait until the LOVE is BEST tour comes out on DVD along with LIB 6th. The people who went to both have been raving about the new song arrangements, so it's piquing my curiosity.

I was considering going to her concert tomorrow but she always has such weird ticket system. I have to have both tickets or what not...so if I buy one at the 2nd hand ticket places I'll probably be refused entrance. I'm gonna go ask about it tomorrow.

MAGIC is eargasmic, true fact. and STARLIGHT lacks the vocoder in the verses which is even better <3 and MOONLIGHT is like LOVE's 360°... best mini-album of the year <3
