Couple questions...

[Sunday Break]

First of all, a pretty random/stupid one... whatever happened to T M Opera O?

More seriously, I'm currently writing a research paper on Hura-Urara, and was wondering if anyone had her lifetime past-performances and/or current articles (the most recent I can find are from last year). I'd REALLY appreciate it!

Thanks so much!
