SAWARecording?

Happy Late New Year SAWA Fans!

First off, here's a live vid of SAWA at a RYUKYODISKO show a few weeks ago. She performed SPLASH★ and 夢のFUTURE.



Another short live vid as well from her TV performance! This vid has short clips from Stars and Swimming Dancing. Thanks very much to Eight0008 for posting both videos on le tube!



SAWA appears to be in the studio recording! She's posted pics on her blog in the studio with Jazzin' Park (who remixed Stars on Swimming Dancing) and also a mystery producer who called her up and asked if she'd be interested in making music.

Wonder when the news will hit that we'll get getting SAWA's fifth mini-album? :P The suspense, the suspence.

She's set to have her live release part in February, hopefully some vids will surface on the net.

So with the lack of SAWA music at the moment, I've been more into d-topia's girls lately.


Aira's been a bit quiet; DJ'ing around and releasing rare tracks through special merch bags.

Saori however, has been completely opposite! She's just released エスニック・プラネット・サバイバル, and her next single, Lonely Lonely Lonely, (HMV exclusive single) coming along in December, and a new full album soon to follow!

She's also done a PV for Birthday Everyday, which is being released through her Valentine's BAG. She's collaborated with galaxxxy (who've done the artwork sleeves for Ethnic + Lonely) for a t-shirt design as well, that comes with a download card of Lonely Lonely Lonely.

The previews for her new single Lonely Lonely Lonely are on youtube and her blog, check them out, they're definetely worth the effort!

It's Out, Go Get It SAWAitians!

It's funny, there was so much negative feedback about Swimming Dancing in the beginning: it only had 2 songs, it shouldn't be called a mini-album, SAWA shout-sings.. Now that it's out however, it seems like everyone's really pleased!

Epic PV and artwork, remixes that aren't crap, and of course wonderful music.. I'm really glad that quite the little SAWA community has been created. Let's all hope for new music soon!

If you haven't got it yet, dooooo iiiit:

In other electro-news, d-topia's Saori@destiny is finally releasing new music! She's releasing two limited (unfortunately!) singles in the new year, one exclusively through Tower Records and another through HMV (similar to Aira's Valentine Step and Darling Wondering Staring.)

The first release, out 20 Jan, is titled 『エスニック・プラネット・サバイバル』 (Ethnic Planet Survival) is being released through TOWER. Saori's lyrics are always awesome and with a title like that... sounds like it's gonna be good! :P













The second release, out on 17 Feb, is currently untitled and will be through HMV.

TOWER RECORDS・HMV 2ヶ月連続シングルリリース決定！ ネオ・サブカルチャー・ガールをコンセプトに 新たにバックキーボードを加え「cooljapan」を世界へ発信!!! 2010年1月20日（水）リリース タワーレコード限定シングル 『エスニック・プラネット・サバイバル』 DTJR-10012 LABEL：D-topia 2010年2月17日（水）リリース HMV限定シングル 『タイトル未定』 DTJR-10021 LABEL：D-topia

So, for me anyway, there's something to look forward to in between whatever SAWA's got up ahead for us. :P Aira's got something new up ahead as well, a song being used in an Ario CM titled HEAT MY LOVE. Whether it gets a single release, we'll find out soon I hope!

Have a happy Thanksgiving all US-SAWAitians! :D
