Mar. 22nd-Apr. 2nd Taiji-Newsletter

2000-2001 Taiji Concert live album will be due out in early April. And its TV ad will be aired soon. There might be some difference in content between VHS and DVD versions, which I can¡¯t tell you now. Taiji¡¯s advice for music fans: ¡°you should listen to any music lots of times; there is no fixed distinction between good music and bad music; if you listen to music several times, you can have an ear to grasp what the musician is trying to get at; so don¡¯t make rash assessments.¡± We taijimanias are putting Taiji spirit into practice to make a progress for a better musical environment. Let¡¯s live more in earnest! We are alive! ----- The coming-soon ad for Taiji¡¯s live album is now available on the Internet. It didn¡¯t pass TV censorship and will be put on re-discussion after those parts in question?the English terms ¡°ticket¡± and ¡°coming soon¡±?changed. The live album will be released about April 10th. It is getting delayed because¡¦you can see why when you get the double CD. And another thing to think over concerning the CD: there are certain codes for you Taiji manias to decode. I bet you will feel happy when those codes are deciphered. Taiji¡¯s comment: ¡°have as expectations for the album as you are ready to be disappointed.¡± Isn¡¯t this more like a mystery? Another comment from Taiji: ¡°Even the pain of creation is sweet if you are with me.¡± ----- The TV ad passed re-discussion. It will be aired for one month from April 1st or April 2nd. Taiji¡¯s advice: ¡°if you don¡¯t want to eat orange with the white fiber under the skin, you can never make a success in anything.¡± Sounds like another code? What it means will be revealed some day later. ----- There was a news about Taiji¡¯s departure on some sports newspaper. Please, try to feel easy about that. Remember that this time it is just a temporary take-off with a promise to come back soon. The final release date of the live album is scheduled on April 11th. An awesome poster will be distributed to the buyer of the album. And another news for a joint concert of Korean, Chinese, and Japanese singers to raise funds against the Chinese yellow dust. As usual, it is not confirmed if Taiji will participate in the campaign concert. The rumored joint concert with Glay has not been decided on yet, either. It¡¯s still on the stage of a project under consideration. We¡¯ll let you know as soon as it is confirmed. Okay? Today (April 2nd) was sort of a memorial day for 1,000 days after Taiji¡¯s first solo album was released and for 100 days after Taiji¡¯s tour concert started last year. But every day is a memorial day for us to cherish, isn¡¯t it? See you¡¦
