Classic J-Hip Hop Hits

Let me introduce some of Japanese Hip Hop Hits this time.

They're old a bit and some of them have been called like, "Wack" or "Pop".

But honestly I don't care about all that.

What important is that they just told Japan what Hip Hop Music is.

And I think we have to respect that.

"Konya Wa Boogie Back" by Kenji Ozawa feat. Schadaraparr  (1994)

"Da. Yo, Ne." by East End & Yuri (1994)

"Grateful Days" by Dragon Ash feat. Zeebra & ACO (1999)

Nowadays Hip Hop music is so huge in Japan.

Sometimes they even collaborate with American Hip Hop Artists like below.

"I Still Love H.E.R." by Teriyaki Boyz feat. Kanye West (2007)

Yes, I really love H.E.R.!!!

Meeting Day

Today I had meetings with each department of the movie.
From the early morning to the late night. A whole day in Shinjuku.

Well, yes, I gotta admit it was a tough day.
But I believe we all had really good meetings for the shooting which has been scheduled in the next month.

(Meeting with the production designers.)

 (My producer is dying.)

I just can't wait to shoot!
we got great actors, great crew, and great locations.

All we have to do is SHOOOT!

Gemstone

Tonight I felt like I wanna be a music producer because I just found a gemstone.
The girl in the center of the pic below is the one.

(Actually these three girls in the pic are all my co-workers. Young!)

Her name is Mio and she usually plays a bass.
But I think she best sing because she's got a great rockin' roll voice!
I just decided to talk about her with somebody who can play guitar well and could be interested in it.

Hopefully things gonna work and go well.

Fake Blood

I had a great meeting with the production designers for "Bandaged" today.

I'm so glad they're really talented and hard working crew.
They prepared the fake blood for this day, and the pic is below.

Wonderful, aren't they? You can even drink this blood.

I can't wait to use'em in the shooting!
