I know this may seem like shameless advertising for my other thread, but I want to update my Favorite Music by telling you all about a band named Scoobie Do. They are my favorite J-band right now ever since Do As Infinity broke up. And boy howdy, do they rock!

For those who have seen Gungrave and listened to the ending song countless times like me, a lot of their other songs rock just as much, so I made a thread in hopes of spreading their popularity. Please give the thread a look, as I've linked some of their PVs from Youtube.

I get a real sense of uplifting mellowness every time I hear them. Ah~ such a great band! Anime catgrin

I do those too, especially reading the nutrition label. That's when I figured that poptarts contain the same ingredients as a candle. Confused

Why am I not surprised? Laughing

Today from reading nutrition labels, I've learned that powdered wasabi is not the same as real wasabi. It's just horseradish and spirulina.
