I wanted to let you know that I enjoy very much my new Japanese CD collection. The hip-hop disc(ケツメイシ4) is fun; The single CD (nov, or nou) (森山直太郎:桜)sounds very emotional, but I think one should know the language to appriciate it fully. But most of all, I think that Pizzicato Five (ベリッシマ)is brilliiant. I play it all the time at home and we all enjoy it. Thank you for sending a CD with collection of songs with ****-san. I have not explored it yet.
My recommendations to you are: The Libertines (a MUST record) Wilco And also check out if you like the sound of Ian Brown (the singer from The Stone Roses). I like his music.
Thank you again for unforgetable time together in Japan. I hope to host you here in the US soon.
