I hope they'll like it!

Here's how I'm coping with my stress with now.
1. Venting to my fiance. He's been so understan...

I've been trying to find the english phonetic pronunciation for this song and found it so just want to share for those who are also looking too:

Kousuke Atari – Hana

Lyric: Okachimachi Dako
