Crush Tears and anime cover [2010]

NARASAKI composed and arranged two songs for Crush Tears! I think the vocalist is one of the voice actresses from the anime, Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei.

NARASAKI does an anime cover of Chargeman Ken! on an anime covers album!
I don't know much about it because it's all in Japanese... I'll ask someone to translate it some time... Special thanks to The Kroc for the name of the anime.

COALTAR OF THE DEEPERS - MY SPEEDY SALAH was played on an independent Korean radio station! I think it's pretty cool that there are fans in Korea!

Photo of NARASAKI from TOKUSATSU live

I LOVE this photo!

COTD FANs, if you find any cool photos of COALTAR OF THE DEEPERS / NARASAKI, let me know and I'll post them on the blog! :] Of course, let me know where you got the source too!

Sadesper Record & Goro Watari

I just received my copy of Sadesper Record's A sort of Sound Track for U.F.O.!

I'm sorry for not updating COTD FAN lately, but I have been busy with college.
I plan on including scans from this CD!

Unfortunately, the CD does not contain any lyrics...
However, here's some interesting information:

The music was for an independent movie called, U.F.O. which was directed by YU-ICHI SUKIGARA of GOD X DOG Production. Sadly, his website is not available anymore... All I know is that the movie was released in 2004 and it was a 90-minute film. The SIESTA music video is supposedly their trailer.

In this release, NARASAKI goes by the alias, GORO WATARI.

A while back, I purchased another rare CD: Goro Watari - Hinode Tracks [2008].

I will provide scans in a future COTD FAN update...

The CD came in a thick paper cover and paper slip. The package also included a piece of paper with the album artwork. Not that much information is known on Hinode Tracks other than it was a collaboration project and there were a few yearly releases. I THINK this CD was just a collection of all of NARASAKI's tracks in all the Hinode Tracks that someone decided to put together.
If you like ambience electronic music, I think you'd like this CD.

We're photographing tomfoolery during the rehearsal of the Mr. Ohtsuki's appearance. Oh! he came out, he came out , ha ha ha~,,,


http://voice.die1964.com/?eid=1114678


Yesterday we played 3"Kenji O:tsuki&Zetubo: Girls" 's songs at Saitama Super Arena. The stage was sssooo big! I was so happy and excited!


Multi-national rockers and "kawaii"Japanese girls...

Well, Kenji O:tsuki's appearance's great anyway! it's so natural..but he' s such an "entertainer"

And I admire the professionalism and nice atomosphere of sweet-voice actresses. I wanna follow them.



And I admire the works of Nackie (NARASAKI)that are complicated and sometimes not so easy to understandand..he's a genius musician!
but he is not so strong in writing sheet music (I helped him to do it at the backstage, ha ha ha)

Sorry for the small photos.
In the end, NARASAKI won his online game. :]
