Message: "New Song"

This message was translated from Japanese. Some things may be modified to suit better understanding.

"A new song was finished in the studio today. The lyrics were pretty good so I tried to sing it.The condition was great because I'm in mode of singing live performances. I pierced myself with a nail so I still need to go back to the hospital and get the rest of it removed. My adrenaline must not fade when I'm in work mode, though it's not a big deal. Things are going pretty fast anyway."

Message: "Pre-mo"

"I took pictures for Pre-mo*'s cover on Sunday. They turned out so great, it was almost worth a celebration. Rehearsal begins in a little while, it's a pleasure to do. When the stage transforms into the tune you're singing, it's an amazing feeling. It only holds to a certain extent though, so nobody is overworked. The music recording schedule is being set, and lyrics are being written now. Everything's improving, even every day improves. It's like an everyday roller coaster. You just have to embrace it and have fun."

Message: "Thank you for so many songs"

"I don't know what to say. I can't listen to Izumi Sakai's voice anymore. ZARD was always on my side since I knew of her in the early 90's when I was still a high school student. I used to always practice singing YOU AND ME by ZARD, it was also the first song I sang in a studio. It is the same as losing a teacher for me to have lost Sakai-san. I am sincerely praying that Sakai-san is being carried up by an angel to heaven."

"Thank you! Thanks a lot for the congratulation messages! I'm very happy. It is a pleasure to experience this kind of feeling in life, how joyful even live performances become! I'm also happy and blessed that I'm able to experience that such feeling when everyone is singing along and a baby is in my stomach. I'm curious when the new baby will come... a question that I ask every day. Even that is enjoyable."

Recently, I've been busy preparing for the next album, the live concert, and writing a book. But doing fine!
Well, I've got news to tell you today!

I'll continue recording like I did with my first baby.
We are having a special live event on "Nanase's day", July 7, since it is the triple 7 of "7/ 7, 2007" this year. Hope you'll enjoy!
I enjoyed visiting many countries last year.

"I have been drinking Nescafe for 25 years or more, and the interview I did with them has been added on their homepage. Because Grandpa liked it so much, he was drunk from it in kindergarden. "What kind of kid is that is that!" I thought. It was funny. It's as if grandpa drank Nescafe every day, and now it seems nostalgic.. Even now grandpa drinks at his home (iced). I'll probably always remember..."
