斉藤和義 (Kazuyoshi Saito) is one of my favorite artists.
I had almost forgotten about him until the other day, when I discovered that he came out with a new album last month. I love Saito-san’s music and hope I can get some of his CDs soon.
Speaking of CDs, the guy from Flutterscape put together a ‘care package’ of sorts for me with Sakanaction’s latest CD, plus Monobright one and a grab bag of Japanese candy. He scoured several used CD stores for me to find these, so I’ll be saving a fortune off of what they’d cost off Amazon. Do please check out the Flutterscape web site or talk to him on Twitter and he can get you prices for just about anything under the sun.
Sakanaction:
The Japanese language is so beautiful to me, sometimes it takes my breath away. The kanji are awesome. The way the language just rolls and flows…I don’t know. I just love it. Maybe I’m obsessed a bit…but I think sometimes obsession can be good.
very nice song (come on). sounds like music I could listen to when I am n the mood.
If you want to hear more, I can send you a sampling, or show you where you can download his discography. Per HMV, he’s one of the most underrated Japanese artists out there. ‘Tis a shame, because he makes such good music.
