| Stop the Smap by Shingo 2003.06.02 Postcard: �Shingo kun aloha loha ~lo~halo~. The new album will be released on 25th June ne. This is the first time that smap�s original album will consist of 2 discs. I�ve heard that every member will have 1 solo. I�m looking forward to listening to the types of songs that will be included in the album. How does Shingo kun�s solo sound like? Did you compose it yourself? And what�s the overall feel of the album?� Shingo: Yup, it will be released on 25th June. Initially the date was set in early July. However there�s not enough time (concert will start on 5th Jul). I am surprised that the album will be released so early. 25th June is coming yo. It�s already June, 23 more days to go. I�ve did recording for one song..the melody keeps rising (^^ pitch gets higher?). I was thinking whether to do this song. I�ve heard around 1,2,3,4,5,6,7...7 songs. But we have not decided on which songs to include. (^^ maji de?). They told us that songs of this type of feeling would be included. Normally this would be done half or one year before the release. We have only 23 days yo. It�s a bit dangerous ne we may not meet the dateline. Ano ne, after the recording, we have to produce in mass numbers in the factory, and then ship the cds. SMAP gives the factory workers trouble ne, they said that they will have to start work around 8th or 9th of June. If not, we will not be able to release the album on 25th. What date is it now? We have only a week left. I�ve only recorded one song so far ne. I have to finish the rest within a week. I don�t even know what songs will be included. There will be 2 discs ne, and each member will have a solo. Great ne the information that I don�t really know is written on this postcard (^^ faint). I am not sure of the information that I�ve gotten. Now this postcard confirms the information. Hahahahaaaa�..So, for the solo ne, please look forward to it. My solo is interesting ne, although its my solo, I�m not the only one in it. Who else is in it? For example my friends. My friends in my hometown ne, sang in �Oresama Crazy Man� ne. ENDING Everybody please look forward to the concert and album. We will do our best to meet the dateline. Victor, Johnny�s Jimusho and SMAP will work hard. If we don�t meet the dateline, please don�t be too angry ne. For the past few years it had really been a miracle that we have met deadlines. I feel like letting everybody have the first experience of us not being in time (^^ crazy boy!). Please mail to us ne. Bye bye�.. |
