For people who were able to make it to Comic Con last year, and for those who weren't, here's a special video interview of clips of the event! It's lovely to see the behind the scenes of when Takanori came to New York, and his amazing MC lol

well seeing as my work is done and I've got holidays now (yay!) I finally took some time to see if I could find anything about the new single...

the ABS preview starts at rougly 0.17

enjoy ^^ even though it's a too short preview T.T

 Saw this on another abingdon boys school lj community, thought I'd post it here.

According to http://www.abs-web.jp/news.html?cat=18, a new a.b.s song called キミノウタ (Kimi no Uta) is going to be used as the opening theme for a new anime, Tokyo Magnitude 8.0, which will debut in July.

I don't know if anyone saw this, but with my mad researching skills, I came across a new documentary book that I was only able to find on CDJapan so far. Not sure why it didn't pop up in any of CD Japan's upcoming product e-mails

I found out from another livejournalist (nanani) that Takanori is going to be performing at the Inazuma Rock Fes 2009.


Sorry for the cross post (also posted on abingdon_bs lj)

Hey everyone.  It has been a little quite around here as I'm sure everyone has been quite busy. I've been busy myself with college, but now that finals are over, I thought I'd throw out a conversation starter about some recent Takanori news/happenings.

Hello, I am selling T.M.Revolution and other jrock related items on my live journal, here:

I didn't put the list here because it is so long and this is easier for me.
Thanks for looking!

After 5 months of working on it; ITS FINALY FINISHED! yey! <3

Theme(s): [103/100]+2 alternates (I misscounted lol)
Theme Set: #02- Light-Hearted

Whoa... I can't get over this video. I think it might be their best yet (along with HOWLING).
I wish I was there! I wouldn't even be a camhog like some of those gals!


And if you're looking for a preview of Valkyrie, here ya go. I think I like JAP better, but I need to wait until I get the single to decide.

pulled straight from abingdon_bs, here are two links for a preview of the upcoming PV for JAP

I think this might be their coolest PV yet, IMO. And I think it's mighty cool that they included ABSFC members. I'm horribly jealous, but I think it's great! Those folks are lucky!

I figured you all might want to take a look! Of course, the music is fantastic! <3
I'm excited for JAP to come out!

Big ups to our friends at abingdon_bs who updated with the following link to the JAP single's page on Sony's website.

I think the cover is genius. It looks like the Japanese flag!
There's a sample of Valkyrie. I think I'll need to hear the whole thing to appreciate it.

The preorder is up on cdjapan:
Limited: http://www.cdjapan.co.jp/detailview.html?KEY=ESCL-3196
Regular: http://www.cdjapan.co.jp/detailview.html?KEY=ESCL-3198



[EDIT] Also, on September 19th and 20th, Takanori will host a music festival in his hometown, Shiga on Biwako lake! He made the festival as part of his ambassadorship. Hopefully it can be a yearly event and encourage young people to pick up instruments and start playing! It's really cool that he actually got to do it, it's been kind of a dream of his since he was younger, right?

And of course, TMR, abs, and Kishi Toshiyuki's band, Two Tribes, will play!
As my friend said: "...hmmmmmmm (B-day party)"

Big thanks to Mel for passing on this info!

You can view our favorite man, aka Ambassador Turbo, on the Official Shiga Prefecture’s site:

http://www.pref.shiga.jp/koho/taishi/nishikawa/

There's a mini-bio, a Q & A section, and some photos of him with a ridiculously cute smile that makes me want to pinch his cheeks.

p.s. props to Mel for pointing this out!

p.p.s. special NYC meetup in May! let's do it! who's free and when?

Report time! And since I drew sketches everything goes under a cut. Yes, I will be describing the movie story so if you don't want to be spoiled, then don't read. I repeat if you don't want to see sketches of the stage or costumes AND you do not want to read about the story that the concert follows, DO NOT READ THIS REPORT.

( Takanori the Shogun! )
