    Our election day of the House Of Councilors is close at hand.
    However, people don't talk about that as much as before, because
    there'll be the Olympic Games. We are now out of rainy season and
    in the center of hot summer! We have many exciting events but the
    election.....

    Anyway, here's a music chart forom the far-east country. Hotness
    influences the rainking:-)

    Yes, MISACCHAN is the most magnificent artist this week. Her latest
    album debuts at No.1. If you have any chance, try to taste Miho
    Morikawa's cheerful pop voice!

    Topics:

    They say Takako Okamura's classic number "Yume Wo Akiramenaide" is
    going to be quoted in the textbook of the music of the middle high
    school. I think she is recognized as one of the most JAPANESE
    music artists:-)

# Hey, Thor, please make sure that I have received your tapes! I'll try
# them this weekend. Yes, Greg, I also received yours, too!
