It's apparently been produced by Jazzin'park.. so maybe it is a full song?

Still.. this will be SAWA's first digital single since being signed to a major label. Both Manycolors and Stars had releases on iTunes prior to their mini-albums.

Welcome To Sa-World!

Well well well!

Full album it is! Welcome To Sa-World, out in July!

















So far the details are a bit vague, but it sounds like.. The five title-tracks from the mini-albums, 7 SAWA-produced tracks (including an intro, interlude and outro) and five other new tracks from past producers. (Woo-hoohoo, 17 tracks, really?)

Also .. finally A PV DVD! Right now there's no mention of the PV's for Stars and ManyColors.. but hopefully they'll be put on there..

Don't quote me on this as it's too soon! :P

We've actually heard a bit of the intro during her live Swimming Dancing release party on sa-world RADIO! I had no idea she had composed it herself, I thought maybe ☆taku might have made a one-off for the release party.. but it's really hard sounding stuff! If you missed it before here's a clip.

Right now she's gone on a mini-vacation to South Korea (as she did before COLORS, while she was composing the mini-album-that-never-surfaced), maybe for inspiration, or rest, who knows. Let's hope it does some good!

Full Album In Progress?

Well, SAWA's been hard at work in the studio.. Haha!

















「今フルアルバムを制作中です。そんな感じデースw」 !

A quote taken from Funky-san's blog (a fellow SAWA fan) after he'd been to a recent live featuring SAWA. During her MC he said she'd made quite the announcement.

Take it with a grain of salt, but seems like SAWA's in the midst of working on a full album.

Although I'm a fan of the mini-album medium, any news is good news to me! Let's just hope it's all brand new material.

New Stuff In April, あいにいくよ

SAWA's, naturally, been hard at work!

She played a new track on her radio station today called サイダー (Saidaa; Cider).. Pretty cool sounding.. slightly old-disco, shibuya-kei.. Very different from Swimming Dancing.

Anyway, I googled the new track and found this on neowing + CDJapan

Fifth Mini-album, titled: あいにいくよ.

Seems like four new songs, サイダー, the title track あいにいくよ produced by Hisashi Nawata (who's worked with artists such as Ryohei, Crystal K, BoA, Halcali, and Rie fu), ジェットコースター (Jet Coaster) produced by Jazzin'Park, and then an older song, called SuperLooper produced by RAM RIDER!

She performed SuperLooper back during TIME&SPACE, during a few lives. I think it's a cover, but I've never actually heard her performance myself, so we'll see!

A bonus track is being offered as well, a Takeshi Nakatsuka (produced メトロポリタン美術館 (Metropolitan Museum of Art) from TIME&SPACE)remix of Samba de Mar, a track she did for a compilation called Seaside Town.

*EDIT* TOWER has posted a tracklist of the new mini-album:

あいにいくよ [Fifth Mini-Album]: TBA 7 April, 2010
1. あいにいくよ ...Produced by Nawata Hisashi
2. ジェットコースター ...Produced by Jazzin'park
3. サイダー ...Produced by Junya Ookubo Zyun (ANA)
4. SuperLooper ...Produced by RAM RIDER

She's also going to be on the album of a debut artist, Anan Ryoko, a pianist and composer. The song's titled Dreaming. There's an English + Japanese version being released on it.

That's all for now! More info as it comes.
