Today I got to see AI in action as she rehearsed for her Japan tour!! ^^ <3 AI wa domo arigatou!!!! Saiko kakkoi da nee? ~.^
…I’m releasing a track with MAY J next year. ~.^
A little look at what I was up to while I was away… Keep your eyes sharp for a cameo appearance from BIGZAM and my killer dance moves in the parking lot! ^^ Also the Nirvana top that was ironed with a kettle because we didn’t have an iron to hand in the apartment!! XD It turned out okay though, right?
A HUGE thanks to everyone involved… Look out for the final video coming real soon!
Pretty nifty eh? This masterpiece was created by Kezart, but because my gallery won’t show animations I figured I’d post it here instead! ^^
Also several new pictures have been added to the Fan Art Gallery! Check em all out!
Rihanna + official PHUNKST★R remix = coming soon! ~.^
I’ve been back for a while now but wanted to round off my Tokyo trip before moving on with the release of TRANS//2.
After hanging out with DJ Yutaka, BIGZAM and JIRO it was time to knuckle down to some business and meet up with a few of my colleagues I’ve met over the last 2 years. Another big aftershock was an interesting beginning to one record label meeting! ^^ It was good to see everyone again and I was grateful for everyone’s enthusiasm and support for this year’s projects.
We then moved on to Shibuya FM where I met Tomitaka Kiyama-san who previewed the new material from the forthcoming album (including ‘Oh-Wei-Oh’). He seemed to like it and had some very useful ideas about promotion during my next trip. It was great to meet him!
The last evening was jam packed!! ^^ First there was a management meeting between Norihiko Hibino-san, Yutaka Kato-san and myself at our friend’s restaurant called Soul Dressing. It was a very cool place and I’d loved to have spent more time there. The three of us discussed my future in Japan as well as other territories and the first original album. It was very exciting and I’m so happy to have the opportunity to work with Hibino-san and Kato-san – I think the 3 of us will make a great team! ^^#
It wasn’t long before we were heading across Shibuya to meet Hitoshi Sakimoto-san (Final Fantasy, Valkyria Chronicles) and his associate Tsubasa Yasuoka-san. I had been in touch with Sakimoto-san previously, so it was great to meet and chat in person! Though it would have been even better if I’d have had a little more time… ;________;
But we had to head back to the hotel so I could pack!! I wouldn’t have time later because it wasn’t long before we headed back out one last time to see BIGZAM and JIRO in action again! It was a great way to spend my last night in Tokyo.
The next day at the airport Japan offered me a parting gift in the form of one last quake while I was waiting to board the plane… x_____x meaning my flight was delayed. But it was worth it – I had the ENTIRE row to myself so that I could get plenty of sleep! ^^# Good job too… the day I got back I had a club opening to go to… x____x No rest for the wicked! ~.^
Now while TRANS//2 is being prepared for release I am working on new material for my first original album in Japan. And from the sounds of it, it won’t be too long before you guys can check it out. ~.^ Ja mata!
