So I finished producing an album of mostly Japanese cover songs (there are 2 originals translated into Japanese: Dream and Song of Hope). It was so much fun to make here in L.A. with my friends!!! The album is being released in Japan at the end of this month.
I was just in Tokyo back in March to do some promo and a photo shoot for the album. Most of the songs were chosen for their positive and hopeful messages and feeling, so we wanted the photo shoot to have that same vibe. Thanks to the talented and fun people below!!
From left to right:
Yoko Nakamura (set design), Rutsuko Hanamura (EMI A&R), Miyuki Kurosu (photographer), Masako Ide (hair & makeup), Yasutaka Monzen (photographer assistant), Die-co (stylist), Yoshiaki Okamura (stylist assistant)
And here is a video made by EMI Japan of a sampling of all the songs off the record:
I love it! I've never had a video made like this before an album release in the U.S. It's so fun!!
Anyway, I hope you all get to hear it somehow, and I hope even more that you enjoy some of the songs.
Love,
p. ahn

Hi Priscilla Ahn, is it possible that I get permission to use your song "Dream" in my youtube videos? I do make-up tutorial but I don't speak so hopefully, you allow me to use some of your music in my video as a background song. Hope to hear your response.
ReplyDeleteKind regards

I see this album is now available in the Japan iTunes store (Released Jun 22, 2012) - will it be available in the Canadian (or US) iTunes store soon?
ReplyDeleteditto the above comment - I would really like to buy the Japanese album. Any idea of where I can get it?
