Equipment
|
- Clothes - Quite positively her most versatile pieces of inventory, Naomi doesn't appear to wear the same thing twice, save perhaps her school uniform. She also wears her hair differently each time, but it's always up.
- Shoes - The same as her clothes, though she prefers boots for the colder months and ballerina flats for the summers. She occasionally wears sneakers.
- Satchel - A well-kept, leather messenger's bag that's probably worth more than an average teenager's allowance for three months. Contains every day essentials such as her cellphone, a swiss-army knife and a can of mace.
- Purple Tatted Bracelet - A gift from Miwa Saitou, which has become a staple accessory on her person, no matter what she is wearing at the time; indicative of the importance Miwa holds in Naomi's life.
- Himeru's Ribbon - A simple length of green ribbon, loosely fashioned in knotwork and looped over Naomi's wrist.
- Tatsuya's Key - A simple brass key to Tatsuya's apartment.
- Blue Crystal Earrings - A gift from Tatsuya. They look similar to Sheryl Nome's from Macross Frontier.
- Rampant Lion Silver Charm - Another gift from Tatsuya, which she wears along with the rest of her other charms.
- Miwa's Key - A simple brass key to Miwa and Tohya's dorm room in the Sumaru University campus.

Profile And Skills
|
Born to a wealthy British-born expatriate and his investor's personal assistant (oooh, scandal!), Naomi Suzuno's life is typical of those who come from a privileged background; legal battles, business propositions, and more than enough family drama as other relatives jockey for control over the myriad of trusts and assets accumulated by the Spencer family over the decades. After a devastating plane crash that left her illustrious father incapacitated, the heiress is thrust in the uncomfortable position of taking care of the family business and all that entails...or at the very least attempt to ensure that it stays where it is until she becomes of age. A former student of St. Hermelin, she transferred to Seven Sisters High School at the wake of her household's move to Sumaru City, where her star in multiple social arenas started to soar and cultivating a reputation for troublesomeness (albeit an unorthodox sort) rarely matched by any of her high-class peers. But that on its own does not come without their share of troubles, for some of her clever schemes and successful machinations have earned her the ire of several, powerful people who do not take being made for fools lightly....

History
|
The Beginning
|
Like most stories that involve legacies and fortunes, Naomi's beginnings were rife with conflict. Her father, British-born Miles Spencer, was the CEO of Spencer & Strassen -- a business that specialized in luxury entertainment, goods (like art and antiques), and travel; a company that catered almost exclusively to the international elite. Based in London, by the 20th century, S&S expanded its operations worldwide. Asia, with its economic boom during the early 90's, was a prime target for it and it didn't take much to convince the distinguished executive to open a base of operations in Japan. It was there when he met Midori Hisakawa, a middle-class local woman and the personal assistant of one of his more important Japanese investors. Against his family's wishes (and this event would remain, to the rest of the family's eyes, a black spot in its history), he married her and settled in Lunarvale, where his only child, Naomi, was born.
Now the wife of a wealthy businessman, Midori concentrated her efforts in being an attentive wife and mother and took an active interest in her daughter's upbringing. Concerned about her gaijin last name and how her future classmates would react to it, she convinced her husband to register Naomi under her maiden name so she would better fit in with the rest of the children in her class -- since then, school records knew her daughter as Naomi Suzuno while important legal documents bore her full name (Naomi Suzuno Spencer).
She was thrown into an egregiously messy turning point in her young life at the age of 13. Returning from yet another vacation with her parents, an inexplicable engine failure in the family's jet sent the aircraft crashing into the private landing strip reserved for their arrival at the local airport. Given her position on the plane, situated close to her mother and belted into her seat, Naomi would have died if it wasn't for the intervention of a strange manifestation that protected her moments before the impact occurred. While injured, she miraculously survived the accident and the emergency surgery afterward that compelled attending, medical personnel to remove most (but not all) of her ruptured spleen. Her parents weren't so lucky -- her mother was killed instantly and her father's spinal cord was severed. Miles Spencer left the hospital paralyzed from the neck down, able only to move his head and right hand.
Chaos reigned over family matters during Naomi's recovery. Other members of the Spencer family wasted no time trying to assert their rights to the company and control over the family coffers, either through direct legal action or through more indirect ways (like wresting Naomi's guardianship away from her invalid father, being heiress). An investigation was launched upon examination of the plane's remains in which it was discovered that the engines were sabotaged before it left its last stopover, which put the entire household as suspects. Through the canny maneuverings of the family lawyer, Christopher Kent (working through his colleague, Akira Tanaka, who was based in Sumaru City), attempts to seize the family fortunes stopped, and guardianship of Naomi was passed onto her uncle, Henry Spencer, Miles's youngest and favorite brother. However, given Henry's uneagerness to move to Asia, and Naomi's unwillingness to move to London, Henry executed a series of legal documents denoting the family butler, Anthony Robinson, who had served and assisted Miles for a good fifteen years, his official agent to oversee his niece's welfare in the East. The seriousness and complexity of the entire affair had a profoundly sobering effect on Naomi, who realized in spite of her youth that she was going to have to maintain an active hand on responsibilities she knew little to nothing about. She pulled out of school and was tutored at home while she and Robinson saw to her father's condition. She started depending heavily on Messrs. Kent, Tanaka, and Conroy Wright, S&S's deputy CEO and a trusted friend of the family, in handling the Spencers' business and legal affairs.

Transition
|
Naomi decided to return to school in her first year, enrolling at St. Hermelin when she was 15 years of age. Now that the family's seclusion after the disastrous crash seemed over, the media, on top of everything else, came calling -- Miles's accident had reached his prominent business partners in Europe. After a year of struggling against repeated attempts by the paparazzi to get the story, Robinson suggested that the family move from Lunarvale to Sumaru and while reluctant to do so, Naomi agreed. Not only was Sumaru bigger, but the family had holdings there, medical facilities were more accessible, and it would put her in the same geographic location as Tanaka. After finishing her first year at St. Hermelin and beginning her second, she had her father moved to one of their high-class hotels in the area (the current Spencer home is, in actuality, a series of renovated penthouse suites in the Peninsula Sumaru) and transferred to the Seven Sisters High School to continue her schooling there.
|
The Present
|
Since then she has had a variety of misadventures with her fellow Sevens students as well as individuals from other schools. Later on, for reasons known only to very few, she joined SEBEC's KNOWS program and was placed directly under her best friend Tohya Kidzuki's command in the Daybreak Squad. A few months later, both she and Tohya left KNOWS, with the state of their current relationships to former boss Takahisa Kandori unknown, but presumed hostile.
The Spencer heiress has since moved on to become the second-in-command of the fledgling group Shinsengumi, established by close friend Tatsuya Suou; a group of Persona users with a burgeoning network of contacts within and without Sumaru City. In her third year, she was elected Student Council President of Seven Sisters High School.
In June 2010, Naomi and a good friend, Shinjiro Aragaki, were kidnapped by a cadre of Russian mercenaries who have been experimenting on Persona-users since the days of the Cold War. Using Dream Technology that they developed, they used their methods in an effort to mine the secrets of Persona-users' "side-abilities." A joint operation between members of SEES and Shinsengumi managed to destroy the remains of the technology and retrieve them. The ordeal continues to have lasting effects on the Spencer heiress, albeit not in terms of psychological trauma. In fact, it has only made her dangerously determined to protect her community from like-minded persons who would stop at nothing to expose and destroy it. In concert with Mitsuru Kirijo, a childhood friend and similarly positioned within the circles of the international business elite, the two ojous have taken steps since then to implement a years-spanning prevention and preemption plan, codenamed the Dante Initiative (comprised of three stages named after Dante Alighieri's The Divine Comedy: Paradiso, Purgatorio, and Inferno, the last of which contemplates the worst case scenario).

Personality
|
Naomi is sweet tempered and charitable. Her generosity, thoughtfulness, and her unique brand of quiet vivacity has won her, at the very least, amicable relations with those she deals with at a regular basis. She is a warm person, driven by the sincere desire to be the best person she could be, though whether she succeeds in this or not has yet to be determined. While mostly quiet, it is not coldly so -- in fact, she can carry on conversations easily, and she has an honest fascination with the lives of others. A voracious reader, she is comfortable in being alone with a book as much as she is in the company of others. In public, her manners are impeccable and practically Victorian; her hair is always up and rarely is she discourteous. Her family's money afforded her the best education available and she isn't one to squander it or flinch away from its application to her every day life, having grown to prove herself both intelligent and articulate. An observant creature, coupled with her passionate heart, she steps on the fine line between romanticism and pragmatism. Nothing delights her more than to be able to take care of those whom she considers very dear to her, and she is typically easy to please. It takes a lot for her to lose her temper, however while she could be very patient, this has a limit. While she may appear like a delicate milksop, she is surprisingly forthright when expressing her opinion and she has very little patience for the coyness expected from her gender.
While she exudes a soothing presence, she isn't afraid of confrontation, especially if she knows she's right. However, she isn't hard-handed when doing so and more often than not will seek a diplomatic solution to the problem. She is, for lack of a proper term, a cautious optimist, and while she makes an effort to see the best in other people, she also knows that sometimes, there just isn't any. It is rare to see her give up on anything she sets her mind to and her more obvious gentility typically masks the bullish tenacity she applies in risks she deems worth taking.
Her life since the plane crash has become one giant juggling act, and finding a balance between being a child and being a woman saddled with heavy responsibilities is a constant struggle. When it gets overwhelming, she becomes quieter than usual -- not because she necessarily likes brooding, but rather she needs to stop and think before moving again to recover that sense of harmony that she feels is essential to her overall well-being. It would not do her any good, after all, to implode due to all of the pressure she places on herself, though there are, of course, some very bad days in which she feels she can't do anything right. There are times in which she becomes resentful - it's not so much that she has a strong sense of justice, but rather that she has a strong sense of fairness. The concept of equity is important to her and being able to take the good and the bad in equal parts. After all, nothing worth having (and, after that, keeping) is easy to get and if there was anything the business world has taught her, anything worthy always comes with a price.

The Precious Few
|
- IV - The Emperor
- Akatsuki Enda: "Cowards die many times before their deaths. The valiant never taste of death but once." -- Julius Caesar, Act II, Scene 2
- Handsome, charming, and debonair, Akatsuki is the younger of the Enda twins and up until recently, the brother that Naomi never had. Their relationship has always been marked with a deep and gentle affection; so much so that even when he decided to commit suicide and subsequently leave without so much as a word, it had not been enough to sever their bond completely. However, while Naomi will always care for Akatsuki, it's clear that their relationship isn't the way it used to be.
- XII - The Hanged Man
- Tohya Kidzuki: "For in my youth, I never did apply hot and rebellious liquors in my blood." -- As You Like It; Act II, Scene 3
- Naomi's best friend and occasional confidante whom she loves deeply, in the rare moments in which she would be inclined to confess her deeper worries. They are more alike beneath the surface than anyone could even comprehend. Much like a few others in her acquaintance, Tohya never fails to surprise her.
- XIV - Temperance
- Miwa Saitou: "O, she is ten times more gentle than her father's crabbed, and he's composed of harshness." -- The Tempest; Act III, Scene 1
- A close friend and another who she loves dearly. Her softspoken, gentle and oftentimes passive demeanor often drives Naomi to support, be affectionate towards and counsel her whenever she needs it. While envious of her deepening connection to Tatsuya, Naomi places her happiness unflinchingly above her own.
- XVI - The Tower
- Mai Namikawa: "But I have that within which passeth show; these but the trappings and the suits of woe." -- Hamlet; Act I, Scene II
- Naomi has demonstrated a proclivity of developing deep bonds with personalities more brusque than hers and Mai is no exception. While clinical and occasionally unforgiving, typically running counter with Naomi's more diplomatic approach, the two girls share a formidable bond by way of love, affection and inclination towards tactical thinking.
- XIX - The Sun - RANK 15
- Tatsuya Suou: "Be not afraid of greatness: some are born great, some achieve greatness and some have greatness thrust upon them." -- Twelfth Night; Act II, Scene 5
- The story is almost a stereotypical one; a girl from the right side of the tracks meeting a boy from the wrong end of them. Their two-year long "it's complicated" has seen them through a variety of trials and tribulations that have only brought them closer in the face of adversity, whether internal or external. Perhaps it was inevitable, in the end, that they become something more no matter how reluctant they are to acknowledge it, and for many good reasons. It's undeniable that Naomi loves Tatsuya more than words can adequately express, and it was only through the aid of a few good friends that the two of them finally reached an understanding during a trip to London....but it's only bound to get more difficult from there.

Other Notable Links

- 0 - The Fool
- Minako Arisato: "Make the coming hour o’erflow with joy, and pleasure drown the brim." -- All's Well That Ends Well, Act II, Scene 4
- Originally introduced to her by Mai, Minako exhibits a perpetual effervescent spirit that Naomi has come to admire and envy. While their encounters have been sparse and brief, the Spencer heiress liked her instantly, and is perhaps the only person she humors tacking a -chan to her name. Even after the disastrous public kiss she shared with Tatsuya at the charity function, even now Naomi couldn't hate her due to her innocence and well-meaning personality. She will, however, always associate her name to that heartwrenching moment.
- III - The Empress
- Mitsuru Kirijo: "Take that life, beseech you, which I so often owe; but your ring first, and here the bracelet of the truest princess that ever swore her faith." -- Cymbeline; Act V, Scene 5
- Once upon a time, there were two princesses who spent most of their early childhood together. Some would say that Mitsuru was the first "real" friend Naomi has ever made in her life, and vice-versa. They went to the same educational institutions, rubbed elbows with the same elitist constituents... they were even in fencing club together when they were old enough to wield foils safely. The years have separated them given their obligations to their families, but the last couple of years have seen both ojous rekindling their lost sisterhood.
- IV - The Emperor
- V - The Hierophant
- Shinjiro Aragaki: "He expressed no regret for what he had done which satisfied her; his style was not penitent, but haughty. It was all pride and insolence." -- Pride and Prejudice; Chapter 36
- Quite possibly the only person who can effortlessly knock Naomi's signature calm off-balance by his sheer presence (or, to be more accurate, impressively oppressive resonance), Shinjiro is a mystery wrapped in a puzzle wrapped in an enigma. His dichotomous nature has many a time forced her to backtrack and question her own perceptions of him...and even during the same conversation. These days, Naomi shares a cozy and comfortable friendship with him, and they occasionally see each other to catch up. Normally, she is the first person Shinjiro calls when he needs help with a certain redhaired ojou.
- Kei Nanjou: "Have more than thou showest, speak less than thou knowest, lend less than thou owest" -- King Lear, Act I, Scene 4
- Formerly a mere acquaintance and peer, and now one that she considers one of her most stalwart friends and allies. Naomi and Kei have a lot in common, and his significant time spent in London has made him the most knowledgeable out of all of her friends as to what her paternal relations are truly like. Unlike most of her friends, Kei strikes a perfect balance of confidence, pragmatism and affection, and it is that harmony that constantly draws her to his orbit and vice-versa.
- X - The Wheel of Fortune
- Sebastien Ardennais: "Can one desire too much of a good thing?" -- As You Like It, Act IV, Scene 1
- The only son of old family friends, Naomi and Sebastien, before his transplantation to Japan, met once and only once; in a riding academy in France, in which a good-natured attempt to do the young man a favor went awry. Six years later, Naomi finds herself reacquainted with the troublesome youth of her past, whom she regarded in those years as bad luck, though given the terrible similarity of their circumstances, he may also end up becoming the key to executing a grand scheme that may make or break her future forever.
- XIII - Death
- Seiichi Miyamoto: "I stand accountant for as great a sin - but partly led to diet my revenge." -- Othello; Act II, Scene 1
- The only son of Naomi's ex-piano tutor, Takeshi Miyamoto, Seiichi came barreling into her life anxious to repair the damage his father has made to the Spencer family. His intentions, however, are skewed, and unbeknown to himself, Seiichi is more like his father than he thinks despite his well-established loathing of him. While Naomi sees some good in him, she remains wary - those wounds remain open no matter how many years have passed. She is constantly worried about Mitsuru's burgeoning romantic relationship with him, however, she has made a more concentrated effort to get to know him and see past the visage of his father's younger self...but not until after a blistering screaming match with him in which the two vented their frustrations at one another.
- IX - The Hermit
- Izo Imaizumi: "A beast, that wants discourse of reason." -- Hamlet, Act I, Scene 2
- A relatively new acquaintance, but one whom she deems trustworthy. Odd for a gangster, Izo has displayed a consideration towards others as well as a gentlemanly demeanor that Naomi has come to appreciate. He isn't without his bouts of mischief, and while the heiress recognizes his wariness, she likes him well enough to trust him despite his connections.
- XVI - The Tower
- Thora Kobayashi: "As I told thee before, I am subject to a tyrant, a sorcerer that by his cunning hath cheated me of the island." -- The Tempest; Act III, Scene 2
- Thora was, for the longest time, the only Persona-user who Naomi has known about through the power of her sheer and infamous reputation. However fearsome that reputation is, however, Naomi considers the intimidating girl as one of her good friends and she is quite possibly the most unlikely of them all given that both girls occupy the extreme opposite sides of the spectrum, but Naomi will always do what she can to aid Thora and vice-versa. Familiar with Thora's own aspirations for the future, Naomi has promised to support her however she can.
- XIX - The Sun
- Kyo Enda: "I, that am curtailed of this fair proportion, cheated of feature by dissembling nature. Deformed, unfinished, sent before my time into this breathing world, scarce half made up. And that so lamely and unfashionable, that dogs bark at me as I halt by them. -- Richard III; Act I Scene 1
- Having come face-to-face with his true nature repeatedly, Naomi now considers the older Enda twin to be one of her more dangerous opponents; an even match to her own cunning and intellect. Her hate now, however, is at odds with the fact that his twisted need to possess a part of her - that part of him that views her as a sister/lover and himself as a dark mirror of the man she loves - has driven him to protect her in the deadliest situation she has ever been in.
- Taiki Himuro: "Hereby, upon the edge of yonder coppice; A stand where you may make the fairest shoot." -- Love's Labors Lost; Act IV, Scene 1
- Naomi has nothing but good things to say about Taiki, who was once employed as a courier for Spencer & Strassen before his duties took him back to his priesthood training grounds in far away mountains. Months after his departure, the young man has returned, his loyalty to her undiminished by time. She tends to get embarrassed, however, by the formal and almost feudal ways in which he demonstrates that loyalty.
- Tatsuya Sudou: "Like one who having into truth, by telling of it, made such a sinner of his memory to credit his own lie." -- The Tempest, Act I, Scene 2
- An executive of the Masquerade, he and Naomi have had several encounters in and outside of the office. His connection to Tatsuya is one that constantly worries Naomi, and whenever the two of them are at the same vicinity, she does her best to keep them apart. Much like her views on Kandori, she is sometimes conflicted about King Leo, whose psychotic hatred for Tatsuya typically runs incongruously to his high opinion and gentlemanly treatment of her and his occasional demonstration of being a decent person. Regardless of this, however, she knows he is extremely dangerous.

Persona
|
"Do not be afraid, child...I am thou, thou art I. I am the Truth, she who sees into the hearts of men....who opens Heaven to the Worthy and brings its destruction to the Damned. I am...Ma'at."
The Egyptian Goddess Ma'at represents Truth, Balance, Harmony, and Order in the culture's pantheon of gods. She's usually represented by a young woman with a scepter while carrying an Ankh on her other hand. Her role is significant in Duat, the Egyptian underworld, where she weighs dead souls' hearts with an ostrich feather on a pair of scales to determine their worthiness to enter Aaru, the Egyptian heaven. Those that were deemed unworthy had their hearts eaten by Ammut, a part-crocodile demon.
It was said that when Ra started to create the world, he created Ma'at first and installed her in place of her counterpart, Isfet (Chaos), so he would have a stable canvas to work with.
Resonance
Sense: For those who can detect Persona-users, there seems to be an extremely peaceful, serene presence around Naomi. It could be the young woman herself, for she is almost always calm, or it could be something else. The case is most probably quite the latter, for with this aura of placidity comes with a sense of pure order and rightness; that, somehow, everything is right with the world and things are exactly the way they should be.
Smell: For those who are able to detect Persona-users by scent, this particular ambiance smells like mint.
Sound: Audibly, Naomi's resonance sounds like a gentle breeze playing over windchimes, from far away.
Talent: Naomi, by nature, is an excellent judge of character - her Persona is, after all, the main judge of the Underworld in Egyptian Mythology in where she specifically weighs a person's heart to judge his or her worthiness to enter Heaven. It's probably not very surprising to those who know her or who have gotten to know her that an innate ability to sense intentions has developed gradually over time. It functions as some kind of social "danger alert" in a way, but it won't specifically tell her what it is she's feeling.

Miscellaneous Character Information
|
Notable NPC's
|
- Miles Spencer - Naomi's father, who left the devastating plane crash paralyzed from the neck down and able only to move his head and one hand. Despite his present state of health, the man seems to have lost very little of his infamous joie de vivre that he exhibited in the days when he was whole. He is extremely dependent on his daughter and his staff to take care of matters for him. Blessed with an old world charm, his keen mind and business sense are invaluable guides to his heir.
- Anthony Robinson - Called "Robin" by Naomi, he has served as Miles's butler, assistant, and confidant for the last 15 years. Extremely dedicated to his boss, Robinson's loyalty to the Spencer patriarch seems to have been passed down to his only daughter. Given the rather messy enterprise that followed after the plane crash, circumstances have thrust him in the position as Naomi's legal guardian in Japan. He does not like it when people call him "Alfred."
- Akira Tanaka - In tandem with London-based barrister, Christopher Kent, he is one of Naomi's advisors in a multitude of legal and business matters. He works for the Sumaru office of the international law firm Allen & Overy, which is headquartered in the United Kingdom. A relatively young attorney, he recently made partner in its M&A and Corporate division.
- Conroy Wright - Spencer & Strassen's deputy CEO and a trusted friend of the family, he and Miles have known each other for decades since their schoolboy years at the University of Oxford. He maintains control of the company's daily operations at the behest of his old friend.

Random Trivia
|
- What's in a name? - Naomi's Japanese name means "honest beauty of the bells."
- Appearance - At 5'4", Naomi is taller than the average Japanese female. She takes after her mother's looks. The only indicators of her mixed descent, really, are her height and the shape and color of her eyes, which are rounder and violet in hue.
- Blood Type - Naomi is blood type B+.
- Wang Long Fortune Telling - Naomi is a Moon Dragon, and gets along best with White and Light Dragons.
- Does She or Doesn't She? - Naomi does have a British accent, but this only manifests when she speaks in English. Her Japanese, however, is flawless and formal. She also follows Queen's English (ex. Biscuit = Cookie, Jumper = Sweater, Shedule and not Skedule, Lift = Elevator, paycheque as opposed to paycheck, etc etc).
- The Residence - The current Spencer home is the Peninsula Sumaru, a luxury hotel located in the heart of the city, at its topmost floor. It is in actuality a series of penthouse suites renovated for the use of Naomi's family and her household. At present, the staff comprises of Anthony Robinson, a driver, and two maids. Physicians occasionally come and go to see to Miles's health.
- Favorite Foods - Naomi is guilty of having a sweet tooth, and she likes desserts of all kinds. While her palate is rather refined, some of the simpler items make her list, like teriyaki beef and miso soup.
- Hobbies - The Spencer heiress is a voracious reader, and she regularly exploits her father's connections in the antiquities and rare book industries to acquire first editions. She loves art and literature, and she goes to museums often. She is fascinated with Ancient Egypt and other middle eastern cultures. She fences on occasion, and skydives whenever she can out of the desire to completely overcome the egregious acrophobia she developed after the plane crash. She also plays the piano well.
- Movies, Television, or Theatre? - All of the above. She's particularly fond of the Action-Adventure genre and romantic comedies (she will, however, be hardpressed to admit the latter and hides her copy of Bridget Jones's Diary under her bed). She watches documentaries often, and likes watching cop dramas, though if asked what her favorite television shows are, it would be Mythbusters and MacGyver. She may or may not secretly harbor desires to build her very own Hwacha...or at least just figure out how to pass the Egg Drop test.
- Revolutionary Fashion! - Clothes and accessories may very well be Naomi's greatest vice and she can be quite the fashionista. No matter the occasion, she dresses to the nines and she tends to have her school uniforms custom-tailored. In public, she is never seen with her hair down.

Wipe the make-up from your face. Tie your hair and gently fall from grace. Until I come again. Take the disaffected life. Men who ran the company ran your life. You could have been his wife. I wanna love you but my hands are tied. I wanna stay here but I've been denied. Lets watch the clock until the morning sun does rise.
King of the World - Porcelain and the Tramps - Lyrics. Recommended by Mikiya Ryouhara. Thanks, Lumiere!
Keep your head down until I tell you to speak. You're not giving me the run around when you fall back, unto my coffin. No you shoulda stayed outta my way. Do not test me.
Friends O' Mine - Bowling for Soup - "Shinsengumi" (Lyrics)
It started out at a coffee shop in a most unlikely town. And there were casualties but we made it out anyhow. We stuck together through the good and bad times. Pulp Fiction, Blazing Saddles, and Fast Times, I’m so glad that I have these friends o' mine.
Best Friend - Kana Nishino - "Tohya" (Lyrics)
No matter how many years pass while we’re away from each other – Nothing will have changed. We’re best friends. I love you, I really love you. I’ll always be praying, I want you to be the happiest person in the world.
Momentum - Vienna Teng - "Tatsuya" (Lyrics)
Forgive me the confusion. Forgive me as I realize my thoughts betrayed. You are the answer. Cry and smile the same. Overcome me, baby....all I'm asking is to be alive.
In the Dark - Birthday Massacre - "Kyo" (Lyrics)
All these broken pieces left unglued should never find their way into the hands of someone like you. I'm in the dark. I'm alone around you. I've never been here before. Nobody here to get me through. Oh, I'm in the dark.
