Reading the news and fan accounts from various PERSONA concerts, I really am getting more and more depressed because I still haven't attended one. My Christmas wish this year would be to attend even just 1 PERSONA concert. I really wish I could see the boys personally. After their success in Seoul, Japan, Taiwan, and now Shanghai. The boys have indeed conquered Asia. Next stop, the WORLD! ^_^
