Jazz is ageless, but Pitbull's bilingual rap will fade away fast. I mean...call me old fashioned, but I just feel that the music should fit the time period that the film is portraying. I don't want to be a music purist saying "Oh, today's music is trash. I wish I lived in the 80's when they had REAL music" but I do think that jazz is more appropriate. I'm allowed to have a little bias, and I like jazz. Actually, I used to be kind of an opposite music purist; a few years ago I thought that techno (and by extension dubstep) was 'the music of the future' and encouraged everyone around me to listen to it. ...As you can probably guess, I didn't have that many friends.

There's no natural way to convey that you want to eliminate people either, really. The fact that Mikami refers to it as that shows how much his sense of justice is overplayed to the point of abnormality (he kind of reminds me of Tosen from Bleach) so all of those variants, "erase"/"eliminate"/"delete" all make it sound like there's no consequences from killing criminals. "Killing" them implies that although they're dead, they leave behind memories, mysteries, legacies, etc. whereas "eliminating" them removes them from life in general, as though surgically removed from Earth. I didn't really like the second half of Death Note...but yeah, the dub makes Light sound like a pedophile.

Huh, "merry" does sound cool if you think about it. It's like, not only happy or even lively, but denotes having fun and being in a good mood (and who wouldn't want to have fun and be in a good mood?) She's right; we all should be merry.

Some readers should be blockaded, though! Granted, you don't have any obnoxious regular commenters here that throw misspelled criticisms your way but if you did people like that are hard to reason with. That's another reason why Shiki's obscurity is good; the obnoxious fans who are in it for the bishonens wouldn't be interested in a novel that has a focus apart from said bishonens. Not that I don't like bishonens, but at least you don't have to deal with that.
