The unofficial “unplugged” version of Touch the Sun— just me and my guitar, alone in my studio — is now on YouTube.

Much gratitude to Tower Records Shibuya and to music writer Yoshiro Nagato for featuring “Once” in his PiedPiper corner on the 5th floor of the store.

“Once” was reviewed on the Light Mellow web site, a music blog by well-known Japanese music journalist Toshi Kanazawa.

They had some nice things to say about "Once" at the Natalie music site on the day of the CD's release.

The day has come! My debut CD is now available in stores as well as online!

I’ve made a new video for Beautiful Schemes and uploaded it to YouTube. This one’s a little more video-like.

It's pretty simple, but I've made my first music video for the song Once (If You Say You Love Me) and posted it on YouTube.

My interview with music writer Toshiki Nakada appears in Vol 5 of AOR AGE mook (magazine-book), available in bookstores throughout Japan and online.

I was lucky enough to be invited to appear on DJ Ohnishi's "The Nite" program on November 21st.
