   I have an LP box set of "Ring" conducted by Karl Boehm. It   
   needs 13.5 hours to play entirely, you know. Nobody can   
   regularly listen to the musical drama thoroughly. ^_^;

   But it's not as appealing as a famous name.

   I think three seconds is enough to identify a famous music piece and   
   fifteen seconds is enough to enjoy a sweet spot of it. As for a live action   
   drama, there are 120 different characters in the manga and you still   
   need "Puri Gorota" anime show for an important role. I think it's more   
   relevant and easy to adapt the manga into an anime program.

   Three books in a year, I reckon.

   I also like Kuroki, but I don't know how does Rui think.
