2007: The Year of Naruto
If 2007 taught us one thing, it is that fiction, doesn't matter if it comes in the form of music, movies, video games or anime, can teach us a lot and help us grow and develop into the adults we are today.
It doesn't matter if it's the life lessons of Naruto, the joy of singing our lungs out with Sing Star, or discovering that dancing isn't just great for the body but also for the soul.
