February's CD Labyrinth         JAPANESE

    In the lyrics of the Eagles' Hotel California,  I remember a line 'we are all just prisoners here, of our own device'.  What is this all about?   Do they want to say that all people are getting lost in the labyrinth made by themselves?  Is it a translation of an enlightenment like 'all realities you experience are your creation' from the pessimistic side? 
    I have a lot of CDs. 
I lose my sense of time while playing them.   I sense a warm smell of colitas,   I see the pink champagne on ice.   I think finally I'm lost.   I can checkout any time I like, but I can never leave!

INDEX
  Under construction articles (No.3 to 42) are now in Japanese.  CD cover images and favorite signs are only available.
