    Lighter color? Maybe add a feather to the letters?

    Maybe feather's not the best choice of vocabulary (been video making, so the terms stuck with me).

    Try adding an outline to the letters, and maybe a different font to make it stand out better against the background, but don't make it so that Sora is completely covered by the words.

    Ok, rasterize the type, then duplicate the layer. Now duplicate that layer. Gaussian blur by about 3. Duplicate that layer about 3 times.

    I hope I didn't lose you there :sweatdrop:

    Click on filter, then blur, then guassian blur.

    (I have cs2 so it might be slightly different)

    different font, and smaller, and don't gaussin blur it that much, maybe a trebucket 10-13 font/font size, you don't want the text to be that big, it takes the spotlight from the focal(Draws my eyes from sora to the text)

    maybe a bit smaller and set the layer to like, lighten only, i think it is lighten in CS3, or maybe overlay, or just something that makes the text blend in

    Fewer words. That's the first thing. Also, get rid of the outlines around the Soras and blend them more to the BG.

    Make that huge text white and make it smaller in a simple font, like Arial, and make its setting on "smooth".
