Plot Summary: Hino goes to a school that specialises in music and has two streams: the normal stream and the music stream, where the music students are regarded as the more elite. She was running late for her class one day when she saw a tiny fairy, who seemed really excited that she could see it. The next day, the entrants in the music competition, who are decided by the school, are announced. Hino's name appears on the list - except she doesn't play an instrument. The fairy gives her a magical violin that can be played by anyone. Reluctantly, she enters into the competition and is forced to deal with the prejudices of her peers.
**Heck!!! Talking bout an anime with hell lot of Cute guys! Sheez... I envy Hino for getting all 5 boys to crush on her!!!! What the... ! >.< ... life isn't fair! ...

You know, I have this notion to shift to console gaming. I mean the best games right now are out there for the consoles, from sport games like nba/nhl, racing games to GT5, to RPG's like Lost Odyssey/FFXIII.
Because of that realization, I've decided to sell my awesome 8800GT videocard for 1,000 pesos only. I'll use it to finance my upcoming purchase of a PS3 or Xbox360.
Anybody interested just post here and lets meet up!
