Anza HPP Blog 1/11/09

Hey! It's Anza (star)

It's rather late, but.....soon it will become daylight!!!

This year also HPP would like to ask you properly, Please stick with us!!

We ended 2008 at Strum Studio, and that's still the case at the start of 2009. Tell me, how is everyone?

At any rate, HPP has even more time to pass in studio confinement. But, that's especially true for me. (laugh)

While one new song is being finished, we move on to the next, we fight to keep at it. We try to write tunes from a time in our lives and then lay down the recording!!!

And now~ the first Live Show is early in 2009 on the 16th!! Isn't that good to know? (laugh)

For everyone in Tokyo, this will be a good way to escape. Even if it's only for a little while. That's what I think.

Still, this is just the beginning of the Paralysed Boxx Tour, right? So, let's meet at the Shibuya Boxx on the 16th. (heart)

By the way, my buddy Narumi has put in an appearance on the Blog before I realized it. (laugh)

Well, will you be coming here often this year? I wonder, will the other guys become regulars also? (laugh)

I'm still waiting for Hiro-san.........

Recently, MY boom (favorite thing) is Natto hot spring boiled eggs. (heart) They are quite delicious and they help to improve your health!

Hey! Afterward.....an aquaintance of mine who is a Palm Reader gave me a reading. However....if I want to stay healthy in my body and mind, it isn't past hope!!

Most of my troubles come from my manner of life. Because I live my life as a night person.

I'm going to sleep.....right now. (laugh)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I wonder if you have to go to the hot springs to get the eggs, or do they deliver?

This year's me!

current mood: cooky/wacky

For the year 2009, with my Blog updates, I'd like to try to keep at it! Although I have a hot thing feeling, for a short time, my self-confidence was low. (laugh)

Yes, I got to go snowboarding! The snowy mountains are the best!!! I absolutely love the white world a lot. (heart)

Also, I went together with other HPP members Hiro and Narumi. Well, 2 of the 3 people had a high skill factor when it comes to snowboarding, right?

This time Mar couldn't come because he still hasn't completely recovered from the pain in his neck. He was left at home to do some house sitting. (laugh)

Ooh! Everyone be sure to check out this month's issue of Burrn Magazine! If you read this message and pick it up, thanks.

The article is a Live report from the One-Man Show. But, I've yet to see it myself. (laugh)

My daily life is about to begin at Strum Studios tomorrow. That's because it's Pre-Professional recording month. Right?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I have it in mind that Strum Studios is where Anza and HPP rehearse and write songs.

I'm pretty sure that the Pre-Professional recording is a live taping of the Shibuya Boxx show on Jan. 16th.

It's 2009 (star)

It's begun.....before you even noticed it, right? (laugh)

Anyhow, it's off and running and if you don't pay attention, 2009 will also blow by you.

On Jan. 16th, HPP will be doing a Live recording and the members are ready to nail it.

And then, in March, the "Paralysed Box" tour will begin. Right now, we've booked shows in Nagoya, Fukuoka, Oita, and Kagoshima. And there's still many more Live shows to come!! Just hang in there till we're able to make an official announcement.!

Also, there are a fixed set of activities and stages for Anza as a solo artist for the group VITAMIN-Q! Once again, this may turn out to be a very busy year for me.

Hey! By the way.....for me, Anza, somehow or other, I managed to be active in public entertainment for quite some time. It seems that this will be my 20 year anniversary. (laugh)

So, my goal is to draw up plans to schedule a Solo Live Show. Because to appear live will be a nice way to meet you. Don't forget!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Congratulations to Anza for 20 years in "The Biz"!

And I guess now we know what the pre-professional recording was she talked about. I think in other posts it would have been better to call them Raw recordings instead of Demo.

My guess is that they will, at some point in the future release the live show on CD. That way they have something in the bank for another tour without the pressure to write a new album.

I can see the logic behind this strategy. Live records help turn other artists like David Bowie, Blue Oyster Cult, and Bob Seger into household names. The only draw back is, sometimes it does the opposite and breaks groups up.

Thank you truly.

Today, we successfully finished The GIFT musical. The Grand Finale went well.

I'm grateful to so many people. Soon, we'll be launching into the future, but I'm going back home in a daze. (laugh)

I still have many feelings today as I look back on 2008. In a short time, I'll probably drink some alcohol. Do you think I should? (laugh)

The year 2008 has been full of many wonderful, wonderful blessings.

With HEAD PHONES PRESIDENT that I love, there were so many things that I was able to experience. I hope we'll be permitted to achieve as much in the coming year.

In fact, next year we're going to have an extremely big schedule and we're going to give it all we've got!! Right?

And then, I was able to do vocals as part of the group, VITAMIN-Q. On Feb. 3rd, we'll be at Shibuya AX doing a live concert. Please, by all means, be sure to come!!!! OK?

I will undoubtedly cut loose at that show. (laugh)

Truly, I've received support from so many people. It's a big part of my life. I'm sincerely grateful to everyone for all you've done for me.

Thank you, truly.

Still, 2008, what a great year!!!!!!

Happy New Year!!

current mood: loved

This year also for HEAD PHONES PRESIDENT and for ANZA, please treat us well!!

As for the year 2009, we are going on a rampage, Hell Yeah!!

I have a lot of ambition, so let's get started!

Now, I'm going to lie down and go to sleep. (laugh)

Anza JP Blog 12/29/08

Thank you. (star)

Everyday there are many clapping hands. And then there are your letters and gifts. Thank you for everything.

There are only 4 shows left in this run of The GIFT musical.

There is still much more love and affection in the role of Aya Kaori to be transmitted to everyone, don't you agree?

Every time, I try to put all I've got into my body and heart to convey those feelings into each performance. I find that I get more out of it.

Really, I'm very grateful for every day.

There are 4 shows left to perform. So, with great care, I'll do my best!!

P.S.

The date has changed. This is my Blog for the 28th.

HPP Hang Veil 7/25/08

Here's an HPP live video of "Hang Veil" that I found on Youtube. This was taped about 2 weeks after the DVD show at Club Citta.

This song didn't make it on the Paralysed Box DVD. But this is a good looking clip, and it's more like the way I remember it, without all the fast editing.

So, here you go........Hang Veil
