If you look carefully under the place where the CD is held
in the case of the new CD you'll find a selection of picture from the MT
personal album! |

"Will you buy the new CD?" Survey results:
88% Definitely
12% Maybe, if it's good.
0% No.
So I guess that means about 4,000,000,000 sales worldwide! |

'Next Single' Survey
Not so many voters this month but it seems that, with votes split
between four other songs from Cassette and Gazette, a new song is just
slightly the most popular choice:
2 votes: a new song
1 vote: Now is great, Wind, Good Friend,
Love Story
Thanks to everyone who voted this time. |

Mamoru's Glasses Survey Result:
Stay 45% (4 votes)
Go 55% (5 votes)
As I said, it was a close result, with only one vote deciding it.
I thought maybe more people would have an opinion about it - but I guess
not? Maybe I should have included an "any which way" choice? I
personally quite like the intellectual look - but do the glasses make him
look just a tiny bit older? Perhaps the solution is "on" for
playing solo and "off" when playing with the band! Mamoru is
going to have to decide for himself!! |

No News Is Good News?
Not much to report this month as Mamoru has been working on news
songs and recording, so there don't seem to be many new gigs on the
horizon. The next concert is the lunchtime live at Shimokitazawa, Tokyo on
the 15th of September.
Mamoru also went to the beach for a day or two and you can see
his photos by going to tanabemamoru.com
and following the "Lonesome bbs" link.
And if there's any news, it'll be here... |

Favourite Album Survey Winner |
|
The results are in and the official Mamoru Tanabe International
favourite album is: Cassette & Gazette!
Full results:
Cassette and Gazette (32%)
Young American (23%)
Dobojide (18%)
Love Comedy (9%)
Eyes Wide Open (9%)
Dream Memory (4%)
At The Top Of The Tower (4%)
I guess that means people really like the recent songs. And
judging by the new material Mamoru played live
on the Seto Inland Sea Tour the next album could be even better.
Thanks to everyone who took part. Don't forget to register your
vote in this month's survey! |

The
sold out gig at Osaka Nest Saloon looks like it's going to be a great
night, with a couple of members of ChocoParfait coming down to support. Is
there going to be enough room on stage? |
