Monthly Media: May

Yet another monthly media, this time in the newly formed month of Maypril! Due to global warming, a longer "spring month" was needed, and with April traditionally late winter, it was decided that April would be merged into May!

Happy belated April's Fools, did anyone fall for it? Didn't really think anyone would... Wow, for the first time I missed a media, huh? Well, it's been two years now since MM started (ok technically that was in April -05, but we're not mentioning that one), which means I also missed to mention the two-year anniversary for this blog! Yay!

Ok, business: this month brings us (or rather, you) a clip of Keiko on the show "Tunnels no mina-san no o-kage desu", hosted by the comedy duo Tunnels (you might recognize one of them as Ishibashi Takaaki if you watch Utaban), eating some food and talking, and in the end doing a little promo for the "Love again" tour. Only Filefront link this time since I'm busy packing (going to Stockholm on a study trip).

Download via Filefront.

Monthly Media: March

A new month brings a new monthly media, and... Wait, what was that? It's already the third Sunday of the month?!?

Sorry for the ridiculously long delay, but this month has been really crazy, deadlines every week, etc. The next couple of weeks have quite a bit fewer lessons, so hopefully I'll be able to pick up some of the things I had planned (like the vocal project and the wiki)...

As for this month's media, I have a performance of "Departures" from Countdown TV, from sometime in 1996, enjoy!

Download via Sendspace or Filefront.

Monthly Media: February

Looking through the monthly media archives, I realised that there was not one single performance of Can't stop fallin in love! An injustice that had to be corrected.

As such, here is a performance of that very song from December 27, 1996 on Music Station Super Live.

Download from Sendspace or Filefront.

A couple of small things while I'm at it. If you're on Myspace, have a look at TK's page, you can listen to some of his latest creations there (including a couple of TKCOM tracks). A couple of others who also have a Myspace page are the guys in the globe/Jpop cover band World! Have a look & listen and check out if they have any live shows near you!

Monthly Media: January

Alright then! Late, but here's the media for this month: a live performace of Faces Places on Music Station, '97.

The aspect ratio is a bit weird, so if you have a player where you can adjust it, set it to 4:3.

Download via Sendspace or Filefront.

Oh, one more thing. When I logged into Filefront I got a message about some files queued for deletion, and they're only seven days in queue before they're automatically deleted, so if you find any broken links, mail me about it.

Monthly media delayed

Sorry for the lack of monthly media so far; due to an important exam it's been delayed until next Sunday.

TKCOM on Myspace

Strange as it may seem, it would appear as if TK has a Myspace page! There are four songs to listen to there: "Music Makes Me Wonder", a remix of it, "Going Out Thing" from the Gaball project and "Far Eastern Wind" from the Piano Wind album. The homepage is stated as TKCOM.tv, where a couple of more songs can be heard.

Update:
I extracted the URLs for the audio files at TKCOM.tv for those who want them.
1. GO CRAZY featuring Krayzie Bone (Record Plant Edit) (45sec EDIT)
2. UH-OH featuring PHIFE (Manhattan Edit) (45sec EDIT)
3. SUKIYAKI featuring Nipsey & KCO (TV Edit) (45sec EDIT)
4. MUSIC MAKES ME WONDER (ITMS Edit) (45sec EDIT)
5. Music Makes Me Wonder (TK CLUB MIX)

More by DJ TK

Not long after the new track on mf247 comes another track by DJ TK, this time from another direction; the new track called "Music Makes Me Wonder" is released as the theme for the last chapter of the online manga Synesthesia, and can be downloaded from the Shinzou podcast via iTunes if you've set your iTunes music store to the Japanese one. It's credited DJTK featuring TKCOM, vocals by Keiko. (T-KCO-M...)

There's also a video clip you can download with TK's comment.

I've also uploaded the files to Sendspace in case you have problems getting them from iTunes; get the audio track here, and the video clip here. Both are in MPEG-4 format, so make sure you have a player that can play that format (VLC works).
