Bright Lights

With the flurry of visitors, most of us had forgotten completely about the little ones' trip to
Orchard that day long ago...but not all of us...



Sanada : ...Um...M-san?
M : Yeah, whatcha want, kid? ^_^



Sanada : Uh...that day, when we went to...um...Orchard? Er...
M : Go on?



Sanada : I was...I was listening to a CD...um...Rem?
M : ...What's Rem? OH, WAIT - you mean R.E.M.!



Sanada : Oh. Oh, is that how you're supposed to say it? ^^;;
M : Yep! Don't worry about it. Common mistake. Shoot. What about them?
Sanada : I...I really liked it...do you...know where I can...find some more?



M : Weeeeell...sorry to burst your bubble, but we don't have any R.E.M. CDs about right now...
Sanada : ...Oh. I see. I'm sorry, I won't bother y -
M : Zip, I'm not done yet. I'm sorry we don't have any R.E.M. right now, but if you like that
style of music? We call it Alt Rock? Alt for Alternate, y'know, if you like it? I have quite a few
things you could listen to, yeah.
Sanada : You do?! I mean - if it's not too much trouble?



M : Are you kidding? We loooooove Alt Rock. It's almost my religion, man! Here, here's one to
start you off with...Bright Lights...I love that song. I love Matchbox 20 - that's the band - they
might be whiny bastards, but damn, are they good. Ah, just listen up. Here.



M : I gotta bit of stuff to take care of, you just call me if you need me, okay?
Sanada : O...okay. Thanks!


After much fumbling with earphones...















...And that was the beginning of his true musical education.
