Hi Mike,

I couldn't agree more with you on your thoughts on "Call me."  
I've never had the courage to put "ai ai ai 100% pure love," 
and any other songs produced by H.S. for that matter, to my iPod playlist.  this time the melody is pretty good, although the arrangement is very cheesy.  but, i decided to load it into my iPod.

have to say this though, the covers of the limited and regular edition of "Call me" single are spectacular.  
i bought the regular from Yesasia and bid the limited on Ebay.  
yeah, i just have to have both :P

I really really hope i'll see one day a new song produced by seiko and ryo and arranged by toriyama yuji.  
nothing can go wrong with these golden combination.
