Hello, people!

Summer has come and gone. I hope you all enjoyed your summer breaks.

I didn't do a single summer-ish thing this year... it was just too hot in Tokyo!!! I spent most of my time indoors.


I am currently in New York, having meetings with the IDJ folks, discussing the direction of the next english-language album, how and when we should get started on its production, and so on.

We got to meet with some producers and track-makers that I'm interested in working with.

So, uh, yeah, I'll be getting started on another album soon. We're not on any sort of schedule, not rushing at all, and it looks like its going to be a nice mellow start, taking it step by step. We'll just see how it goes. But the general feeling is good.

Just thought you might like to know that ;)

Talk to you again soon!

Au revoir~ :)
