about the popup of sound.jp but it only appears once.

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. :-)
