NIPPON no ARASHI
The popular Japanese Idol group ARASHI have donated copies of their book, which is not available for purchase, to around 40,000 elementary and middle schools across Japan. As the book is not available in the shops there have been floods of enquiries, it is difficult to find even in school libraries due to the large number of reservations that have been made. All five members of ARASHI chose a destination that they would like to visit, and their experiences are featured in the book.
The leader Satoshi Ohno visited Aomori and talked with Yoshitomo Nara, he also tried his hand at the traditional embroidery of Aomori “KOGIN.”
Sho Sakurai visited Nara’s tea plantations and tried tea picking. He interviewed a young 25 year old farmer, and in the article compares the farmer’s ambition, with the meaning behind his own work. Nino, who loves video games, visited the headquarters of Nintendo. The members each visited their favorite locations, and enjoyed their favorite activities, through these experiences the book helps to show students who are uncertain about their future, that there are many different paths available to them, it is a very impressive book.

TITANMOON live performance at Tokyo American Club
Last Friday I went to see TITANMOON live performance at Tokyo American Club.
One of 8tokyo.com reader, Elizabeth(from US) invited me there. She is TITANMOON’s manager.
They are indie rock band from Dallas/ Fort Worth, Texas. Now touring around the world, Pakistan, Dubai and Japan.
It’s amazing music, indie rock but mainstream sound.
From media (via titanmoon.net)
on THE BAND
“As friendly with U2-ish rock as with Strokes-ian punchiness, titanmoon might be the missing link between hipster and international man of leisure.”“The ’80s mod-rock mined by titanmoon comes straight from the Book of U2, all perfectly orchestrated atmospherics, the crash of tinny guitars, and cosmic vibes.”
“Ethereal, imagistic pop rock.”
“An orchestral mélange of hooks, hard beats, and digital keyboard colors clearly informed by the likes of The Killers and Bloc Party.”
“Simply, if there is one band that’s more ready for making the big jump, we can’t think of one.”
“This very publication couldn’t go a week without bragging on the musical prowess of a new outfit: . . . titanmoon is on its way to becoming the proverbial stick by which all other quiet, moody alt-rock bands will be measured.”
– Fort Worth Weekly
“Titanmoon crafts smart, shimmering, hook-heavy indie-rock.”
– Fort Worth Star-Telegram“Titanmoon performs ambitious music made majestic by a layering of sounds…This band is full of talent!”
– Music Connection Magazine
on FILM BLACK
“Concept albums are always tricky to pull off, but Titanmoon more than accomplishes its goal. These dense indie-rock compositions have an epic sweep and clear-eyed emotional heft.”– Fort Worth Star-Telegram
“… the band’s new, elegant direction. A sense of epic, hyper-synthesized grandeur still infuses Titanmoon’s mod-rock.”
– Fort Worth Weekly
on POSTCARD REPUBLIC
“Titanmoon’s Postcard E.P. is a moody, intelligent and very promising collection of acoustic-based dream pop.”– The Rage, Nashville
