We talked about lyric of my new song named "#001-2007" by skype. We have a few song's translation, basically. That song's motif is this interview of haruki murakami who is greatest living novelist.

"...Sex is another issue. His blockbuster Norwegian Wood is the Japanese equivalent of The Catcher in the Rye: Every young Japanese person has read it. The uncharitable said it sold so well because its characters have so much sex, and talk about it so freely. Murakami takes another view: "Sex is a key to enter a spirit....Sex is like a dream when you are awake; I think dreams are collective. Some parts do not belong to yourself."

That arrangement has the sort of "altanative rock" style, probably. BTW skype is very usuful tool for us. Just as we finished to talk, watanabe called me "I'm practicing now, I was wondering if you could come?" So I went to his warehouse with my recording system and video camera, soon.
