The time flies.
I thought it was a month away – I guess not.
It’s… this coming Wednesday!
Toru and I will be back in Metropolitan Room for this time
in late show, 9:30PM start.
It perhaps shouldn’t be called as late set because it’s not that late start.
But hey, it may be clearer to say so to differentiate with the other…. early show.
Anyway, “late show” sounds classier than saying 9:30 show. no?

This will be the last gig before I go to Japan in November, and
for a while I don’t have a duo gig until December.
So don’t miss it. Join us on Wednesday, October 19.

You may know or may not know, but anyhow,
I had recording sessions in the end of September.
In the past, I had at least 2 opportunities to make an album
and went into the studios (excl. demos or small projects).
However, I didn’t like what came out of them, and call both of them off
(stayed within pre-production and didn’t go in to the production
– yep, executive decision indeed.)
I won’t get into the reasons why I didn’t, but
the one thing I can say is that it was a right decision for both times.
It was a big detour perhaps. But… so what?
That’s just me, and it is absolutely acceptable in my book (lol).

Let me tell you… it was a fun session.
Toru was awesome to the max, Miki was sweet and fabulous as always,
Michael was supportive at the console, Shinya helped me greatly
(and considering the perfectness of him being there at that time
– nearly a miracle)… What can I be and do instead of having fun?

I am thinking of mastering them in December until I figure out
which tunes to be included, in what order to put
as well as thinking of cover design.
Hopefully I can get this baby out in next Spring.
Stay tuned;)

So I had fun. That’s all good.
I have learned a lot in many ways.
That’s also good. Particularly and concisely…
the emphasis was on learning about myself – I think.
