Dear shopgirl,

Thanks for the review. I have ordered the new single and cant wait to hear the
entire song.

You are right, in that Seiko music in the past 5 years has not been exactly 
inspiring. Some of them are actually quite forgettable (yes, even for big fans 
like myself).

I think some of us are hanging in there because we know that the best is yet 
to come and we are hopeful the best will be here soon.
