Where can I buy DCT stuff in Tokyo?
I'll be in Tokyo in November, and would like to pick up some DCT merchandise if I can (videos/dvds, shirts, CDs, etc.). Can anyone recommend a particular place? I thought maybe some of the bootleg shops in Nishi Shinjuku might have some DCT videos available. Or maybe a shop in Harajuku might have so...

Great report! Awesome set list. I can't imagine anyone could go away from that show unsatisfied! Can you tell us if Miwa was able to make a good connection with the audience? I've only seen the one Fillmore show of DCT's, but when watching their 1999 Wonderland DVD, I was blown away by how well Miwa...

Sounds like a great show. Were tickets hard to get? The news about Rin, Koh, and David T. was good. What impresses me about those three is that they always put nearly as much passion into it as Miwa. I'd be very interested in hearing how the B&H2 songs went over. Also, I hear a lot of talk on their ...

Any chance of a new DVD this year?
Maybe one of Miwa's solo tour or the Wonderland shows? It seems pretty good odds that we'll get a new Wonderland DVD, but it would be great to get one of the Miwa solo tour, too. I know I'm being greedy, but it sure would be nice. Has anyone heard anything or do you know how long after the shows it ...

Great shots! I've been thinking seriously of getting the '95 show. You say you got it on DVD? I recall only seeing it on VHS. Any difference between the versions? Also, re: Miwa and Nishikawa, you mean he's a heterosexual? I'm sorry, but I just assumed he was gay. No offense, but I would have bet mo...

In my opinion, she's taken her game to a higher level on this one, really crafting a record as opposed to a collection of songs. And the playing is incredible. These are some of the best session men and they get plenty of chances to show their stuff. But always within the context of the song and alw...

B&H2-The masterpiece
I don't know what other word to use to describe B&H2. It took a couple listens for it to sink in, but I think this is the best record Miwa has ever made. Listening to it, I can't think of a singe song that isn't great. No filler, all killer, as they say. I'll go even further: This is a groundbreakin...

My B&H 2 just arrived in the mail
I ordered the limited edition version from cdjapan.com, and it came with a free poster! It's a large poster taken from one of the shots inside the booklet. Cool stuff! B&H2 is brilliant, of course! A nice, smooth flow to all the songs. I especially like the section from tracks 6-9. The songs just se...

A Miwa solo B&H2 tour?
Is Miwa doing a solo tour to support Beauty & Harmony 2? I haven't seen anything about it, but there could be a short Japanese tour in May.
I hope they make another DVD!

I haven't heard that. You'd think that would be pretty big news, but it isn't in JapanTimes or JapanToday yet. If it's true, I'm very happy for them. I know Miwa's dating lifestyle was the subject of tabloid press in the early, mid-'90s, but I haven't heard anything lately. I have sometimes wondered...

Beauty and Harmony DVD
I highly recommend this DVD. Great musicians making great music. The playing and singing are simply phenomenal. I also like the recorded interviews with the musicians between songs, talking about the project and playing with Miwa. Words cannot do justice to Miwa's performance. She puts everything in...

Simple words, powerful messages
One of the things that really impresses me about DCT is how the lyrics use fairly simple words to communicate a powerful message. Take a song like "Futari no Difference." The vocabulary is not advanced, simple even, but the song packs a very powerful punch because of the way those simple words are a...

I live in the Sacramento valley, too, and can relate to your story. I grew up in the Bay Area, loving music and spending all my hard-earned cash on music (records, CDs, concerts). I was lucky enough to see some really great bands and artists. I've only seen DCT once, last Oct. at the Fillmore, but b...
