About time, Mike!

I've noticed something else on this video aswell... you need to watch it on a computer to notice it because TV's cut off the frame round the edges. Keep your eye on masa as he leaves the shot, he stops and starts to turn, then carries on and you can see him hiding behind a pillar through the shop wi...

Snow Dance The Stanley Kubrick references was to the "whole song entirety" long take, like Kurosawa and Kubrick in Full Metal Jacket. yup, Steadicam! Kubrick was famed for using it [The Shining]. It's a complete contrast to the 24/7 video where the Steadicam work is diabolical!!! I'm not sure if th...

I wonder if Masa knows how much his Sonic work has affected people...^^ Hmmm.... probably not. You know, I study AS Music Technology at college and I've mentioned Dreams Come True to loads in my class... usually they're not that interested until I say "Oh, and the bass player is the guy who wrote t...

Man, I'm so behind. I've been spending cash on old albums and DCT posters!! I havn't had the last 2 singes!! :? My poster collection is growing though, I have the 'wonderland 2003' poster, 'love overflows' poster, 'Yasashii kiss o shite' poster and a "mascara matsuge/hajimari no la" mini poster (sma...

Good question... its hard to tell, I've always wondered.... WHY ISN'T SHE BEING MOBBED!? On the DCT Clips V1 DVD, Masa and the director do a commentary (I think taka and miwa may be there on some aswell) isn't anything said on that? I heard him refer to Stanley Kubrick... no idea why, maybe the use ...

hi nakoruru: welcome! ah, by the sounds of it, you found them the same way i did!! god, i love those sonic tunes! i also like koshiro yuzo you mentioned there... he did the music for the master system version of sonic... i love what he did with masa's green hill music on the end credits of sonic 1, ...

Congrats to Miwa and the lucky husband! Is Masa married?? I read on one website Masa was married to Miwa, which I didn't believe - and obviously wasn't true! Will Miwa's last name be changing? Also, does anyone on the forum have access to PowerPlant!? I know its Japan only and when I emailed PP they...

As this seems like the second attempt at a US invasion (the first one being SOD) It's the third isn't it? Dont forget "The Monster Universal Mix". And is that CD available in the USA? Miwa's about 20 years too old to break into the US market, alas. hmmm, such a shame, i think they should break into...

A recommendation for US fans: Go see DCT if/when they come back...Masa is more liberal (fierce!) on the bass in front of our smaller crowds...(or at least he was at the concert I went too ^^) Wow! I must see them live at least once in my lifetime! The chances of them playing England are very slim I...

Wonder 3, Love Unlimited and Delicious (along with a 2nd copy of The Swinging Star) arrived today from Japan, nearly completing my DCT album collection (Oh, apart from the compilations). "Open Sesame" is probably my favourite of Masa's opening themes.... wasn't expecting that change! Oh, and I do lo...

.... was browsing DCTgarden.com, and I havn't really noticed the DCT-Magazine section before, could someone tell me what thats about!? I'm especially interested in the "DCT SOUND AUDITION" magazine... I'm guessing it was a competition to win instruments signed by the band? If it was I would have lov...

Zberry... I agree.... after listening to it more and more 'Chrysalis or Butterfly' is fantastic and has become my favourite on the album. I love it, especially that bass line - I really like the one note masa does as 'slap'. Just enough. Can't help noting Masa was the only composer on that track.......

Sorry keith, never noticed that one. Oh well, it's on its way now! BTW - I noted there about the remixes... i think this is because these are Taiwan release bonus tracks.... I noticed they weren't listed on garden... Sing or die came with a nice booklet with pics of them in the studio.... possibly a...

Owww.... you lucky thing! I never got a MGO keyring... mind you, I've got the Taiwanese edition of MGO.
