It sounds like a fun album this go 'round!
I wonder if she's working on something else as we get ready for April.. She's always busy, you know..
I hope this next one is serious business! :P

It sounds like a fun album this go 'round!

I Miss SAWA
Hey all!
So at the moment, I'm quite musically bored... What are you guys listening to?
I've mostly been listening to JASMINE and Mizca lately.
JASMINE's got a new single coming up next month, right after releasing a single(just two days ago!) titled This Is Not A Game. She's releasing a 'thrillogy' of singles for the next three months: March's being This Is Not A Game, April's will be new single JEALOUS.
I love her themed album photos, with a color for each single.. and I hope she continues with this pattern. It's what pulled me in in the first place! Seems a bit shallow now that I think about it... but I actually liked the music too so it turned out good, I guess, haha.. I've always been kind of drawn in by packaging and stuff, so it just seems kinda natural.
Seems like a lot of my favorite artists are in a 'work-in-progress' stage, and it's made me a bit restless.
Mostly at the moment I (of course) really miss SAWA, and Asobi Seksu. It's been kind of a strange year or so and their music has partially helped me get through it.. I've gotten a bit dependant on them maybe.. hehe..
I'd be happy to hear what everyone else is listening to.. I'm welcome to any suggestions!
Hope everyone's had a lovely start of March. Hang in there everyone, spring is around the corner!!!!!

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
5. Samba de Mar（Nakatsuka Takeshi Remix） ＜BONUS TRACK＞
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.

Calling All Long-Time SAWA Fans
I was reading through SAWA's old blog posts (Don't judge me, I've been snowed in! :P) and she mentioned a few tracks being posted on her myspace before the release of COLORS or before she'd even met FreeTEMPO!
SAWA's blog
The tracks she mentions are titled メリーゴーランド (Merry-Go-Round), talking, happiness, and 坂道 (Sakamichi; Slope). There maybe another track titled in the music, as well, a blogger mentioned that the five tracks were used as background music on her homepage.
There's also a couple of dead ends on last.fm. It seems as though talking and メリーゴーランド had a few listens on there, but naturally, there's no listeners to contact.
I don't have a mixi account, so I'm not really sure if there's any info there either.
If anyone has heard these tracks, or has happened to have ripped them from her website or player.. it'd really be appreciated to share them with the rest of the SAWA fans out there!
Thanks in advance for any info, and also to the blogger I spoke with this morning. :)
