★ Hi

Priya here, Toronto. I'm 15. This is my first homepage so be nice. I got into Nova thanks to a pen pal in Hamburg.

★ Nova-chan Fan Art & ASCII

I drew the SYNTHESIS cover from memory. The platinum hair took a whole marker.

★ International Pen-Pals Wanted

Write to me! Real letters preferred. I'll send a mix of 'Before You Disappear' versions from my country.

★ Lyric Discrepancy & Translation Anomalies

At 4:29: US lyric says 'dream', regional master vocal take clearly says 'machine'.
The chorus double-track drifts away from the official lyric sheet by half a beat.
