In japan it simply refers to anything that is animated (claymation, cartoon, computer) from any country. But in the english speaking world it has come to mean animation from japan and in particular the "Big Eyes" animation (ookii me no anime).

Urges is the one I had wanted to do in the first place, but I thought the cello part would be way too rough on me. Now I'm finding there are some low notes in Cloudburst that my voice can't possibly hit comfortably and if I change the key, the other parts become too high & I sound ridiculous. So URGES please!!!

The word wrap feature on Note Pad does not exicute a carrage return with the line feed so everything ends up being posted all on one line until she physically enters a "return". The solution is to either A) not use "word wrap" and manually hit return on then end of each line, or B) use a better text editor like PFE that puts carrage returns with the line feeds when doing a word wrap. PFE is the text editor I use. It blows Note Pad out of the water.
