However it's been posted on Youtube, and cannot be accessed by foreigners outside of Japan. (As have all her videos posted on SMA's channel since Good day Sunshine.)

SAWA did a fairly in depth video with music site INMUSIC. She talks about the new album, her songwriting process, and briefly mentions wanting to produce/arrange music for idols in the future, as she did recently with Sasaki Nozomi.

It's also now on iTunes Japan with an alternate cover and a partial tracklist. Good day Sunshine and Mysterious Zone were excluded, which were previously released on iTunes as digital singles.<br />

Soprano Rain has been released early today on keitai site <a href="http://recochoku.jp/album/30224278/">Recochoku</a>. You can hear very brief previews of all tracks by clicking the headphones button. All the tracks sound upbeat and very much in the same vein as Good day Sunshine with the exception of the title track which uses a lot of brass sounds.BlackCheremyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02693846266799447958noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7932410213329286348.post-59032617276652146322012-12-08T23:15:00.000-08:002012-12-08T23:15:06.598-08:00SAWA iTunes Discography<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

The majority of SAWA's discography is on iTunes Japan now.<br />
<br />
After signing with Sony, many of her songs weren't digitally available. However, Sony recently took their back bar on digital downloads through iTunes so all past albums and a few compilations are up for download after the release of <b>Good day Sunshine</b>; as well as <b>Mysterious Zone</b> from last year.BlackCheremyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02693846266799447958noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7932410213329286348.post-63987609270250689652012-12-02T19:55:00.001-08:002012-12-02T19:55:07.325-08:00TOWER + HMV Bonus Stickers<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

She actually has written a small book with the same name. You can read it <a href="http://homepage2.nifty.com/mariduki/worksFiles/maridukibook.html">here</a> .<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Emi Mariduki's work is beaaaautiful. Mainly using watercolor, she creates vividly colorful and surreal universes in her paintings.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br /></div>
As well as Emi Mariduki, animator <a href="http://www.oomomoyousuke.com/index.html">Oomomo Yousuke</a> is behind this project. Check out a lovely example of Oomomo's work below.<br />
<br />

<br />
Also a little more info... <b>Good day Sunshine</b> as
well as tracks 4, 5 and 6 are self-produced. On the title track, SAWA
actually worked with a producer I'm not familiar with named Toshihiko
Nishibe. It seems he's done work with a few anime soundtracks. <b>Mysterious Zone</b> was created with Jazzin' Park (who remixed <b>Stars</b> and produced <b>I'm a President</b>.) The Kyu Sakamoto cover I'm not sure on yet, but I believe it's acapella?<br />

<span style="font-weight: normal;"><span class="t_nihongo_kanji" lang="ja"><br />This follws in the footsteps of one of her own idols, Taeko Onuki, whom SAWA has covered twice. The first being メトロポリタン美術館 (Metropolitan Museum) which was actually used for Minna no Uta, the second being Samba de Mar.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-weight: normal;"><span class="t_nihongo_kanji" lang="ja"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-weight: normal;"><span class="t_nihongo_kanji" lang="ja">So many well-known artists have participated in this program, including Shiina Ringo (Ringo no Uta AND Futari Bocchi Jikan) and Utada Hikaru (Boku wa Kuma).</span></span><br />
<span style="font-weight: normal;"><span class="t_nihongo_kanji" lang="ja"><br /></span></span>
