No News No News No News

Happy Valentine's Day!

Hope everyone's been hanging in there and taking time to do the things they like!

No news in SAWAnderland... A few lives have been scheduled in March (should we be hopeful?) and the big second one-man live is in just a couple of weeks..

Time for a new mini-album, don't you think?


Anyway.. lots of other things going on in the world to keep us occupied, right? What's everyone been listening to? I'm currently waiting on HNC's newest EP, myself..


..and really just been busy with everyday life. :)

Oh, one thing, check out LinzerDinzerTV and vote for a review of SAWA's Swimming Dancing PV! It's actually winning right now and it might get her a bit more exposure through the weird world of youtube. Lindsay's quite funny and quite the J-pop/K-pop fan, so check 'er out!

In the meantime.. I think I'll give TIME&SPACE a spin today, it's been a while. ★

Happy Holidays + Sa-world Radio Updates

ハロー!

Hope everyone has been well.


Soooo.. If anyone hasn't checked out the last two Sa-world Radio episodes.... do so!



Lots of live stuff, although most with commentary... However a few remain untouched and some of the new band versions are quite good!



Also, you can hear bits of Mysterious Zone if you haven't heard it yet. The digital release was recently delayed but it's out now.

SAWA's announced a new one-man live coming up in February recently as well.

Yep, that's it for now!

Mysterious Zone

Ahhh so this Mysterious Zone song is getting a limited Chaku-uta release.

Source

SAWA
配信限定曲
Mysterious Zone

(Sound Produced by Jazzin'park)
FM岡山「牛嶋俊明ドリームファクトリー」エンディングテーマ
2010.11.17 着うた(R) 先行配信
2010.11.24 着うたフル(R)/PC配信



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.

X-mas W/ DJ AYUMi

SAWA is featured on a new Francfranc compilation entitled Francfranc presents SNOW CRYSTAL!


The whole compilation is, of course, winter and Christmas themed.. The title of the track SAWA is featured on is Christmas Eve, and it's a cover done by AYUMi. There's also a full version (disc 1 is all mixed together) being included on a bonus CD!

EDIT: You can hear a snippet of it here, at 1:40-1:49.

SAWA was recently featured on a Francfranc presents... compilation (was Stars, no new song!)

francfranc preents GLAMOROUS HUNTER ... featured SAWA's Stars

yayyyyychristmassong ..... yaynotsomuchbustillsomethingiguess

Anywayyy, there's also (finally) new merch. There's a mirrorball SAWA coat-of-arms hairpin/badge type thing being sold during her lives!

The description is cute, saying it could be used to talk with UFOs...

Lastly, SAWA seems to be enjoying the interlude business! If you check the last post, it's been edited to include the details on the 'new song(notreally)' that was used for FM OKAYAMA's Dream Factory segment. She's also created a (very brief) jingle of her own for her サワガチャ(SAWAgacha) segment of sa-world RADIO!

ガチャポン (Gachapon) is basically a capsule toy, and during this segment of the show, SAWA has questions sent in by fans put into capsules. Then her and the guest take turns popping out questions and answering! Makes for interesting radio, I guess. (:P)


IN CONCLUSION, I'm thinking all the studio work and home demo'ing we've read about is proooobably more *theme* type things, more than anything else. She's been using exclusive versions of Opening Ceremony during different lives, depending on the venue.. so I kind of *doubt* she's working on any major new material at the moment.

However it really has been a busy year for her and she really does need a break! This is SAWA though.. and she usually has something up her sleeve so keep eyes and ears open! I'll try my best to keep ya updated.

Nothing Yet...

I may have jumped the gun, I'm sorry!

I haven't heard the new music yet. Mostly what radio I listen to is through the net, and FM OKAYAMA doesn't have a webcast. However, I'm thinking I maybe got a bit over excited at seeing "new track".

I'm *thinking* that what was actually meant was SAWA has created the theme music for DJ Shima Toshiaki's ドリームファクトリー (Dream Factory) portion of the broadcast. Whether it be specifically created for the show or a portion of a new song, we'll find out soon hopefully!

....

SAWA just finished her first one-man live!



You can check out her blog for tons of pictures, outfit sketches, and the mega setlist. There's also a short SMA article with a few pics as well!

Anyway, sorry and hopefully we'll be hearing new things soon! I'll try and keep us *properly* updated. :)

EDIT:

So the track was called Mysterious Zone. You can read about it on the DJ's blog. Ahh well.
