OSAKA, KOBE AND NAGOYA !

After recording at Yamanakako, without resting we went straight to Osaka for radio interviews, then Kobe for some more radio interviews and then back to Osaka again to play a show at 2nd Line! The next day we drove down to Nagoya and had a show at Apollo theater!!! We were only gone from home for about 10 days but it seemed like forever!! We had a great time but it felt so good to come home and sleep in my own bed!!! The new songs we recorded came out really good! Can't wait to hear the finished mix!! hehehehehe!

RECORDING AT YAMANAKAKO ( Bell Bottom Studios )

We are at Yamanakako ( Bell Bottom Studios ) to record some new songs. THIS PLACE IS BEAUTIFUL!!! It's located way in the mountains where the air is clean, the water is is fresh from a well that is 100 feet below, and the sounds of nature surrounds you. The studio itself is so cool, built inside a huge 3 floor log cabin. with a beautiful view of Mt.Fuji. We have our own personal building with 7 bedrooms and a huge dining area where we have our lunch and dinner! The owner of the studio and his staff prepare lunch and dinner for us!! He's an awesome chef and a really down to earth, nice guy! It's so nice here, that I have to remind myself that we are recoring and not on vacation!! This kind of atmosphere really changes the flavor of recording, I think it will come out really good!!If you get a chance you MUST come and visit here! Playing music in nature while looking at Mt.Fuji! Can't get better than this! SAIKO!!!
