Hi S::L ... I've been a bit busy lately but hope to post some new stuff soon. However, I can't let S::L's 5th Anniversary (BD: 11-05-1999) go by without a note...
awwww how sweet! do i get a gift or something? o.0 obviously i've been absent from the list for over half a year now, but if i do get around to it i'll return...
... Great to hear from Wesley, the prime minister of j-sound! And yes, if I can afford the postage your gift will be on it's way, although I'm not sure I want...
Hey there... I've posted a bunch of vintage Major Force 12" singles from the likes of Tycoon Tosh & Terminator Troops and K.U.D.O. on Ebay. They're closing...
It would be interesting to see the salesfigures of the album i Japan. Personally I think that Exodus is musically weak. I don't like the production at all. It...
Overall, I don't think Utada wrote good songs for this album. I don't care where you take a song after it is written, but if it's not a good song, production...
... I haven't found exact figures, but from what I've read it's over a million in Japan, and is also popular in other parts of Asia. ... Well, diff. strokes...
... to hear it. I'd say that's generally true, but when it comes to artists who are in their own creative zone sometimes the paradigms don't hold. For example,...
... My error. Only a new version of this track is listed. Gomen nasai, John NP: Destiny's Child DESTINY FULFILLED -- but not the same track as last time. In...
I did not find this album particularly noteworthy in any way. Nor (more tellingly) did my 5-yr-old daughter (whose favorite singer is Ayu, even though she...
... I may check this one out (Miho's MURMUR, that is). I did a quick check over at cdjapan and found past releases had the likes of Jazztronik behind the...
Hi again S::L ... While looking around online regarding the last post (Miho, etc.) I found the following new albums that may be of interest to some readers: ...
... for those whe saw it - it opened with gwen stephani doing her best impression of minimoni (or some equiv) followed by lenny kravitz doing a rather weak ...
... That's the story, yes. Her (along with Alejandro Franov & Fernando Kabusacki, her two main collaborators) music is outstanding, and will certainly appeal...
I have Monday Michiru's Mermaid EP which I've come to enjoy a lot. So the other day I bought the Introspective EP on clearance. I guess whoever marked it down...
... Hi S::L ... I'll take a shot at answering your question. In fact, I got carried away and typed up wordbites for all of her albums, so this will be a...
Does anyone know if Monday Michiru's doing some kind of tour? I know she's playing with a 4-piece band in Chicago at the Hot House on Dec. 11. If she has any...
... The first place I thought to go to was her website, which had listed a tour of Japan that happened earlier this year. However, that site appears to be out...
Hey folks...I'm parting with some ultra rare Japanese DJ only Pizzicato Five vinyl on Ebay. I'll be putting a few things up at a time over the few weeks. Check...
Given how incredibly rare it is for Monday to ever do US dates (apart from her semi-annual stints at NYC's Blue Note), I'm afraid that this will almost...
hi i'm johannes. i'm in San Fran til the 29th for my little cousin's wedding (i am SOooOOo looking forward to the "and when are YOU getting married, dear?"...
I think the Miho in question is Miho Inamura, albeit none of her cds list her last name so it makes it that much more confusing. I really liked her work w/...
... Miho Inamura was born in 1989 ... wow, still in diapers when Monday Michiru (Akiyoshi) cut her first CD! I did some googling and ruled her out as being...
Hi again S::L ... I've noticed that Cosa Nostra and their former co-lead vocalist Momoko Suzuki have new CDs on their way. After I discovered Monday Michiru...
