New Song Next Week?

I beliiiiieeeve we'll hear a new track next week! On the main sa-world website, it is mentioned to tune into FM OKAYAMA next Friday to hear a new SAWA song.
























She's mentioned working on a demo on her home computer recently (more self produced?) and of course, she's worked with DJ AYUMi.

















I didn't think it would happen, but possible new release before the year's end? Hmmm.

*RaNdOm FuN jAcKnIfE pIc*





























Who's excited for Halloween?

SAWA x DJ AYUMi

SAWA revealed in her blog today that she's been recording with DJ AYUMi! Wonder who's record it's going to (probably Ayumi's :P)
























Second, if you check out SAWA's website, she had FreeTempo as a special guest. Long time, no see!

I Should Be Asleep

Eight0008 put up a new TV performance, Throw him away!



PlanetSAWA's PC is back from the dead!

All is quiet in Sa-World..... She's taken a short well-deserved break from touring.

Check out her blog for some sweet 'official' live pics.. *Cross fingers for live ..vids.. maybe, possibly?*

Also, as requested..














































Got scans of the article as well if anyone's interested. :)

SAWA@Work

Little bits o' updates for the Planet-S today...

First off, SAWA's said in her blog this week that she is working on a new song! With one of her usual producers, but it's a mysteryyyy! Hopefully she'll debut it live soon!

Second, Stars is being included on a compilation entitled francfranc presents glamourous hunter! It's available on CDJapan/neowing, HMV and amazon now. Doesn't look like many new songs on it, but still always good to get some exposure!

Third, sorry for the lack of updates lately! My desktop has decided to be difficult f0r the time being, and I've been out of the country a bit.. so we'll see how it goes for updates right now. SAWA's mostly just touring anyway so I doubt tooooo much will happen in the coming month, but rewak and I will be listening out!

I'll also put up the SAWAMarqueescans as soon as everything's settled down here a bit, as requested. :) They're pretty interesting.. It's SAWA just hanging about in a modern-style room and showing off her mirror-ball collection! (She also mentioned that the Katamari Fortissimo Damacy soundtrack is a favorite of hers... ahhh Just imagine a katmari SAWA track, haha! She really seems into the summertime jams lately.)


More info as it surfaces!

Thank you Kawaii Japan!

(Don't) Throw Daichi Away

For those who missed SAWA's presence on Sweet Vacation's USTVACATION, here it is! Talk of fine foods and May, Daichi and SAWA attempting, briefly, a live version of Chocolate Zone, haha!

Sorry it's a rather large + funky file (Media Player Classic might be your best bet if you can), but you can look at this geeky drawing I drew on the back of a receipt while you wait! :D Daaaaaah...




















ALSO a new SAWA x 5iVE STAR video has went up.. same premise really, 'cept in a green dress and in the streeeets.

















New lives are steadily coming up on her website. I've not seen any set-lists yet but I kinda wonder if she'd play a full set or just a couple new songs with the usuals. The longest sets she's done are at her release parties (usually with at least a new song!) so I guess we'll probably have to wait 'til then.

I hope they film it! It seems some of the Swimming Dancing release party was filmed since it showed up very briefly on the Sa-World DVD, so I kinda wonder...

5iVE STAR x Throw him away

Check out the collage-style video for SAWA's Throw him away! It's made up of several photos of various people, with the chorus done by SAWA singing into a corn-on-the-cob!... Keep an eye on it!

















Hopefully everyone's enjoying the new album.. I'm thinking about doing a poll for everyone's favorite tracks off it, we'll see.. (I think for me, currently, probably NightBus *nods*)

If you haven't seen the DVD yet, you shouuuuld. It's worth the money, even without the ManyColors and Stars (which is my favorite, even still) vids. Both the Creating Sa-world and Behind the Scenes documentaries are quite in depth and funny to watch.

If you follow SAWA's myspace blog lately, you'll kinda get a feel for the main documentary.

















I also recommend picking up the new issue of MARQUEE if you can! This scan doesn't even begin to capture how sweet this picture is. It's a really interesting magazine on it's own, even without their SAWAlove. They cover bands from underground and those who have moved on up in the world as well!
