Let me be the first to say, I dont care if im ordering from HMV Japan, im getting a physical copy of Bop Alloy.

No chance of a small run of pre-orders for you Western fans?

The album looks AWESOME and the ‘Cloud 9’ beat sounds beautiful. I’m liking this a lot. I hope to see the instrumental for ‘Cloud 9’, it’s just that sexy.

On a more important note, I wish you all the best for ‘Nujabes Tribute Show’. I’m sure he’d be proud of what you all are doing in his memory.

Oh my…I think I’m gonna cry…

artistSubstantial said on Aug 15, 2010:

Yeah. Steph, I cannot wait to put a copy in your hands. SERIOUSLY. Thanks, for the millionth time. We truly couldn’t have done it without you.

Here’s amateur video someone sent me on youtube (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RBv2P1HQpII) of Nujabes and Uyama Hiroto doing a gig in Seoul, Korea. This is the only footage I’ve seen posted with him performing AND speaking. I once tried to interview him in his studio and he wasn’t haven’t! lol He even made me prove that I deleted the video (several time). He was as private as he was talented. RIP

That’s some beastly album art. I’ve got to say I’ve been looking forward to this album. Wish I could have gone to the tribute show though. Smart toilet seats FTW!
