Corrected "playbill" to "program" in "All Musicals Are Adaptations." Playbill refers specifically to programs distributed by the Playbill company, which shows in London do not use. In short, all playbills are programs but not all programs are playbills.

* CentralTheme: Games. The conflict between Light and L is very much a psychological game, or a game of cat-and-mouse. Not to mention the ''literal'' tennis game that they play while strategizing their next move. Ryuk also treats the conflict like his own personal game, as he initiated it just to kill some time and relieve his boredom.
