   I was happy to finally hear one of Mako's character singles...although   
   as far as I remember, it was the only one, and it was in Act 0... Of   
   course, Mako got really weird songs anyway. Lovely Yell (the one in Act   
   0) was pretty cool, but Miracle Dance Night (I think that was the name)   
   just didn't fit the character.

   Personally, I don't think Minako was planning this at all. She was just   
   being a bit of a prankster and "punishing" Rei. I really don't think   
   she would have been able to guess that Rei would learn trust, and that's   
   what she needed to learn. I think she was being off-handed when she   
   mentioned Rei needing to learn cooperation to be the leader--she was   
   just trying to give a good excuse for her trick. But that's just my   
   opinion...I rather like it because it gives Minako some character.

   Maybe she has flashbacks of what happened to her anime counterpart's   
   stereo because of Minako? Intense fear of the item itself? :p

   I still don't think she did. ^_^

   Those were great. ^_^ Usagi's such a spaz.

   No! Noooo!   
      
   Looks like Mars got an earring upgrade. I could have sworn she just had   
   round red ones (similar to what Venus currently wears), but now she had   
   dangly ones. I'm too lazy to go back and verify, but I'm almost certain   
   she was wearing plain red ones before. This is a great improvement with   
   regard to the accessories.

   You cracked me up with that comment.

   "Friends" and "Seinfeld" of course. And maybe "Densha Otoko".
