Congratulations! The title reminds me of Morning Musumes. This book is sure to be smash hit. Baku
Thanks for your kind words. Ah yes, who can forget that charming little ditty "Love Machine" by J-Pop circus Morning Musume? It was topping the charts back in '99, and I recall being subjected to it during many a karaoke session.
For those whose ears have never been graced by the siren song of Morning Musume, they are an all-girl Japanese pop band about the size of an army. Seriously, they currently have ten members. The gals "graduate" from the outfit as they grow up, and they are currently on the seventh generation or something. Expect androids to join their ranks soon. ;)
Tim! Thrilled to see that your book is out. Can't wait to get a copy of it here in Canada. Cheers, Deb
