It was when I went to a music school in London in summer2001- I brought a CD of Sing Like Talking
and asked the teacher to play it at a class. All the classmates and even the teacher fell in love with Chikuzen Satou's song saying " What a lovely voice he has!
" After I returned to Japan, I began to write various things to introduce S.L.T. to my classmates in London.
When I decided to set up this weblog so that I could read Chikuzen's weblog, I came up with an idea of sharing those introductions in English
-that is the main background.
I've placed 30 CDs on " Favorite
" in two years and half; about one CD per month on average, Japanese musicians only
. Most CDs I've placed are of S.L.T. families and my favorite musicians; those works are easier to introduce, but it is partial to introduce only those works. Of course I still have some more albums I haven't introduced yet, though. Now, since I've accumulated introducing music in Japan in English, I'm thinking of placing wider range of musicians and works
. I wonder what to place from now on
. I set a kind of criteria in deciding what to place -but I'm not sharing it here.
