Ren looked at his father questioningly as he picked up what was inside the box. "A radio-cassette player?" he asked, holding up his Christmas present.
His father shrugged in front of the webcam. "At least try it out before you decide whether or not you don't like it. I included a few cassettes you can listen to," he added.
Ren raised a brow as he pulled out a small box filled with unlabeled cassettes. "Okay. Well, I'll call you later after I've tried it out for a while. Talk to you later, Dad," he said, preparing to turn off the webcam.
"Talk to you later, son," Kuu said, turning off his webcam hastily. He didn't know how much longer he could have kept from grinning like a madman. "You'd better thank me though, Kuon," he mumbled, turning off the computer and heading to the kitchen for some Christmas cookies. It wasn't Christmas yet in California for another eight hours, so his present openings would have to wait until later.
Ren listened to the first cassette, frowning.
The voice sounded familiar, very familiar, but he didn't recognize it from any of the female musicians he'd listened tp. The songs were also new to his ears.
Looking for any clue as to who might be singing and the name of the songs, Ren searched the box for some sort of label. He found it on the bottom of the box. Written in black sharpie, was "Kyouko's songs."
