Sorry for a long absence of updates but I haven't give up updating this site because I'm still collecting anything related to them. :-)
However I decided to launch a new personal site and move non-Mansun stuff there. If you are a record collector, please visit Flourella Website. I couldn't help using this name, though I know there are lots of Flourellas on the web. :-D But I'm using this name for years and I didn't want to call it Junko's Website. :-)
