Welcome back, users. Looks like we were able to bring you back online and tracked again...here's hoping the layers are settled now, but the readings are off the chart. We're doing our best to stabilize the city for December while we track some of the magical sources we're picking up. It may take us some time though, so please bear with us! We may be working through the holidays, too, if this keeps up. But it's okay. You opened the doors and new routes for us to check. Stay positive, users. December is a special time of the year. What's your favorite holiday tradition? You'd be surprised how thoughts shape things here. Please take care.

Sometimes singing along to angry music at the top of my lungs helps me get it out. Just keep a glass of water handy.

Now that sounds more like one of James' coping strategies. Have you heard his music? It's really good.

I haven't. Actually, I tend more towards Japanese when it comes to the loud singing? I guess I'm used to having dorm mates who I don't really want to hear me singing something as angry as, say, this.

[Thanks, Radwimps, for a more enjoyable version of singing "I WON'T FORGIVE YOU" at the top of your lungs.

...gore warning for video and lyrics? Should he warn for the lyrics when most people on Retrospec can't understand them without a google anyway?]

[First, someone's going to end up with something interesting in their stocking this year.

Second, Togusa actually ends up laughing at the video.]

They make it sound so cheerful! American music doesn't have enough of this, the tone and message dissonance.

Right? It's rare to get music that's this kind of fun while yelling about how you won't forgive someone.
