Kentaro Tracks

Previews from Kentaro Takizawa's new album are up on Youtube.

I got it wrong about SAWA's input. It seems that on the track Another Landscape, she's mostly just speaking (in English). She doesn't really sing, but there's some vocalizing stuff going on in the background, sounds nice enough.

The other track she was featured on wasn't the intro, but instead the last track Keep Love Together, under The BIG ROOM Family (which consists of Mika Arisaka, Ryohei, SAWA and Mika Sawabe.) From what I heard it sounds embarssingly bad. xP SAWA's part isn't heard however.

EDIT: She is on the intro as well, just speaking "Welcome To The Big Room" ovah and ovah. It's up on iTunes now, as well as a not-so-good remix of Another Landscape. The original Another Landscape, though, is kinda nice. :)

Ah well, everyone seems to love Swimming Dancing! :) I hope she continues with this pattern, Go SAWA!

P.S. Happy belated Birthday SAWA!

There Will Be a PV

I know Swimming Dancing isn't even out yet ...

..but I'm ready for some new stuff. :P~

Maybe 'cause it's just the two tracks, but I dunno, I kinda hope she keeps at it.

Anyway, she's been working on the PV for Swimming Dancing, apparently it's up in the mountains.. seems like in a field? Here's a pic from the set:















The director is the same from Manycolors, Shiina Ringo's last PV (which was brilliant), and I ~think~ Namie Amuro's latest Vidal Sassoon CM's. SAWA says it has kind of a foreign feel to it.. I guess we'll just have to wait and see!

New episode of Sa-world Radio tomorrow..

Support Asobi Seksu!

Asobi's goin' to the UK!



















However, they're low on funds, and aren't really getting paid during their shows there, so if you're a fan (or if you're not, check them out!) help them out!

On The Road Again: Asobi Seksu Goes On Tour

There's a cute li'l video from Yuki + James explaining the project, and also rewards! They also mention doing an acoustic tour in the US, which I'm super psyched fer.. I've seen them twice this year and I'd love to see them a third time.

Maybe they'll finally play Breathe Into Glass! I love that song.

Anyway.. spread the word! ..and if you can, back the project.. I'm sure they'd appreciate any any amount!
