My mom was playing Jethro Tull earlier, and this sorta came up from outta it >.> plus I had been playing through Okami again and I just went through the Sparrow Tribe Quest , soo flutes n' bamboo are fresh on my mind. lol

Mom's been trying to learn to play the flute for awhile, and I think Jethro Tull is part of that inspiration. Anyone that's ever heard a song from them would know why too. I got a chance to look over some of their sheet music and was nearly floored by how often the tempo changes. It's not uncommon for one of their songs to change times 5 or 6 times.

As for the Panda: he seemed a naturally good choice >w<
