Mmmm, nice focus on voices - Gojyo's one especially made me shiver with delight! ^___^

Thanks - I'm glad it worked! I love "Be There," and the way that horrible evening resolves, with Gojyo practically ordering Sanzo to "chant a sutra or something, man" - and then getting completely blown away by the result - is one of the things that first made me realize what a great series this is.

Awww, thanks!! The Sanzo one came fairly easily, but I wrestled with the Gojyo one, even thought the scene was vivid in my memory. Like pruning my brain into a bansai tree ... .

Oooh, I really love how they answer each other, and so full of character too!

Thanks! I got worried when I started reading everyone else's, because mine aren't very poetic. But the Sanzo one just sort of came on its own, and then I remembered the "can't you chant a sutra or something" bit in "Be There," and the Gojyo became the answer.
