Who? Why, Big K of course! I went in my motherās closet (sound insulated with all the clothes), lowered the mic volume and yelled into it as loud as I could. 
Haha! Oh yeah. With Neil, I actually didnāt intend to say, āā¦A special Neil to shoutoutā, it just kinda rolled out of my mouth. But it was better anyhow! 
Those are silly-awesome.
Hey Kyle, who plays which kyokubiki on the album? Iāve got a hunch itās you on Jonkara, Masahiro on Yosare, and Kevin on Aiya, but I could be wrong.
Iām almost certain about Yosare, but less so on the other two. Iāve never heard Kevin play Aiya, but something about it sounds like itās him. At the very least, heās definitely a part of the riffing in the second half. Then again, probably all of you are. Then for Jonkara, some parts of it sound like your playing style, but then other parts really have Kevinās signature on them. Your teacher showing through you, maybe? Or maybe you switch off at some pointā¦?
oh my . . . I should have checked my email downloading
woohoo I LOVE already the second track . . . awesome job . . .
. . . whole album is awesome . . .
ć«ć¤ć«ćććććØć(^O^)ļ¼ Kyle: I got the songs all right and enjoying listening to it while I am at work(my ears are free when reading or writing) and songs are so comfortable and make me happy!!
Half of Japan is terribly hot, though, especially Nagoya. It is killing me boiled downļ¼
Anybody in cool area on the planet, please blow some cold air to us!!!
i canāt find my email ;___;
Amanda: They bought the pre-order reward. Fear not though, youāll be getting your copy on the 24th!
BH: Shweeet!! Glad you like it!~ 
Kyoko: Whew! You should get a part time job in Santa Cruz for the summer! A balmy 23 degrees today. Iāve got my fan out and waving it in the direction of Japan. Letās hope for the best!
seee! iām THAT eager to hear it!
XD

We hit 27 degrees C today in the UK where i live

You got it! Aiya Bushi is totally Kevin. Of course, Iām sure Iād probably layer my shamisen parts tooā¦ butā¦ yeah, thatās definitely Kevin.
Then for Jonkara, some parts of it sound like your playing style, but then other parts really have Kevinās signature on them. Your teacher showing through you, maybe?
Interesting. Well, my Jonkara has been continually evolving for the past four years. Originally, my main muses (in the initial forming) were Asano Sho, Osanai Kaoru and Masahiro Nitta.
As time went on, Iāve gotten more āone with the shamisenā since first forming the Jonkara, so I like to think that Iām starting to finally include some original feeling. But who knows, that could just be Kevinās influence finally seeping into my playing.
I just checked and itās 20,9 degrees celsius in graz I am moving (wait a second) a towel in all directions (yeah) I hope that has made sure some cooler air ends up in Japan too . . .
These made me laugh man ("ā¦Boiing")
I almost feel guilty about how fun it is to make these vids.
I just got an email with the links to the album. Iāll give it a listen later tonight. Thanks for including the FLAC!!
Thanks for asking to have FLAC! Admittedly, I didnāt even think of it, only planned on having 320kbs MP3.
So that means I get a credit on the album, right?
