This is the cd “Kingdom of Desire” by Toto. This booklet shows some lyrics which appear to be Chinese (E: nope, Japanese according to comment) Those are not sung in the song.

This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it’s too interesting, it doesn’t belong. If it’s not interesting, it doesn’t belong.

Just post some stuff and don’t spam.
