Hello all,

I hope you're well...
I'm busy as always, and I'm sorry for not responding to your emails these days...
Thank you for all the great feedback on the Sonic Heroes soundtrack released from Geneon USA last year.
Well, I wanted to let you know about my music project with a special Japanese female singer....
Yup, it's time to talk about the "Mysterious Japanese Singer" :) Her name is Junko Noda and she is a voice actress for cartoons, videogames and TV programs in Japan.
She's also released several solo albums and as well as several music project CDs.
The name of our project is "JxJ", which stands for "Junko x Jun". Cool huh?
Our 1st EP will be released thru wavemaster records / avex next month.
There are 6 songs on it, and maybe you'll find some "familiar" songs on it too.
I like writing songs for female artist like I did for last 3 Sonic projects and I really wanted to team up with a Japanese singer for the Japanese market.
All this was put in place when I discussed this vision with a friend of mine in the music business three years ago... He's the one who introduced me to Junko.
Thanks for his help, we tracked our very 1st demo in 2002.
Since both of us were pretty busy at the time, everything went sooooo slowly... Yes, soooooooo slowly like Crush 40!
We do these projects in our spare time just for the love and fun to create music... and that's why it often takes us time to get everything together.
I'll be sure to post more details sometime next week and will try to get some copies to my fans who live outside of Japan.
If you're interested, just drop me a line...

Take care,

Jun!
