"Title that doesn't stir up insane excitement but let's everyone know that it seems like there might be some progress"

Hullo~

No big news, sorry.. However SAWA tweeted a pic of some interest today of Hisashi Nawata working on a track at her place.

Haha, notice the SAWA glass.

So... something in the works..

Nawata recently did some production on Shibasaki Kou's CIRCLE CYCLE album with one of hte best tracks on it, パラレルワールド・リーディング (Parallel World Reading) and Sowelu's album last year with the song NEVER feat. VERBAL. Of course he also produced SAWA's last mini-album title track, あいにいくよ, so expecting good things!

Give it a listen

They seem to be pretty good friends and he's joined her for many lives to play keyboard as well.. Wonder if they'll have it finished for the next big one-man-live?

....

Also.. there's a post of SAWA-fan interest at the wonderful STEREO_NiGHT LJ community.. you might wanna check it out. You have to join, though!

Also2.. SAWA's started her myspace blog back up, check it out for some pics she took of her recent trip to Paris!

That is all for now!

New Cover Song for Compilation

SAWA has completed a new track, a Seiko Matsuda cover いちご畑でつかまえて (Ichigobatake de tsukamaete/Catcher in the Strawberry Field) for a compilation coming out in May.



You can hear a preview here or a rip here :)

Watch the Newest Sa-world Radio

To hear bits of the new song, No Appointment Romeo, check out SAWA's home page to see some of the live footage from her last one man live.

It's hard to hear some of the show due to the commentary, but the parts you can hear sound niiiice. SAWA and the new live band actually developed new arrangements for some of the songs, Stars especially sounds back to it's bouncy self.



Also SAWA's currently auctioning a set of mirror-ball themed rings to help raise money for the recent crisis in Japan. Check 'em out here.

No Appointment Romeo

Funky-san updated the setlist from the one-man a bit to match SAWA's latest blog, with the new song title. Go check out his blog for the full review. :) The new song No Appointment Romeo (Non-Appointment Romeo/ノンアポイントメントロミオ) apparently has a rock-ish sound?

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!
