Not Kasumi!!!!  Unaffected by the world, you mean spaced out.  I can
imagine it now Kasumi just piping away.  Listening to CHICAGO.

I just can't imagine poor Kasumi doing that to herself. She has far more
taste than that. Give the girl some credit.


Just start to worry when she starts getting into the heavier stuff like
Pantera, White Zombie, and Cannibal Corpse, where it gets harder to work
out which sound are the vocals and which are the guitar chords.

Chicago to Cannibal Corpse?

Okay, time out. Cannibal Corpse might be pushing things. Deicide is
right out.

I think you've got it wrong here. The last person (forgot his name,
sorry) believes that Kasumi is probably a fan of Chicago. I doubt this
due to the fact that Chicago suffered from a slight case of sounding
CRAP (my opinion, of course). J. Austin Wilde, and I share a similar
belief that Kasumi is a closet bevon (Slang for metal-head), and
headbangs violently to Metallica when everyone is out of the house.
Lars, the drummer, was suprised at Metallica's popularity in Japan back
in late 86 (after Jason joined the band), as he thought Japan would be
more interested in 'visual' bands like Motley Crue, and RATT, who also
SUCK (my opinion again). He stated that a majority of their Japanese
fans were actually 12 schoolgirls.


(Did you mean 12 _year-old_ school girls?) 

I just stated that it'd be a worry when she starts to get to stuff
HEAVIER than Metallica (which is a possibility, because Metallica seem
to be getting mellow in their old age. If you don't believe me, just
listen to LOAD).

Actually I think my next songfic will feature something a little more
mellow:
Some classic Black Sabbath tune (Volume Four or earlier). 
Don't hold your breath though, maybe next week.

If you don't like the idea of Kasumi being a boot stomping member of the
Metal Militia, then you probably don't want to read the series of
fanfics soon to be released (right, Ranchan?) by P-P-P-Chan Productions
and Fission Park Press. 

     "The music was replaced by something a little more energetic:
Ministry.

     At first Nabiki was a little confused by Gibby Haynes' monologue,
but when the drums started pulsing and the sound of a racing engine
roared in her ears, she knew it could only be "Jesus Built My Hotrod."
The K-Wing pushed down into its hypersonic nosedive towards the planet.
     Nabiki strained against acceleration forces to see Kasumi's toothy,
almost feral grin of expectation behind her helmet facebowl.
     "This is a side of you I hadn't expected," she said to her.
     "The music helps me concentrate," Kasumi replied. "Hang on,
please!"
