Track from my NEWLY RELEASED CD: SLEEP (I/II)

First 4 are I

Last 4 are II

I made this Drone/ Ambient album to help me sleep when I was living in Los Angeles. Now it’s always in my ambient playlist with the epic Brian Eno and friend Maxwell who also has a great Ambient record under the name EN.

Here is the store you can buy the full thing:

This video I made.

This song I made.

I play the koto on this song and improvise using something called the RITSU scale. This scale is used in Gagaku music.

I like this song and will make more like it.

THE GAMEPLAN

This song was written half by me then the rest by Misung.

I originally wrote it in a key he could sing, then jacked it up played and then recorded all the instruments by myself.

We does did pretty good job on this.

It was intended for KONAMI, but they changed their mind last minute and requested an instrumental instead of an upbeat song about sports.

Now it exists….here.

It will have to go on a Justin and the misungs album.

It is THURSDAY in Tokyo! You know what that means!
THJURSTDAY in OTTOMEN land.

So a girl I came to know on Twitter added me on facebook and sent me a little video of her and her band.
I was blown away, she sent some more clips of new songs.
I was impressed!
Then, I was in the middle of making a new song and she told me she was only 4 foot 8, so I started to sing, “you are my smallest friend”

She asked to hear the song, then she asked to sing a verse then boom!

Amazing!
Listen below!
smallest friend

Aztec

This is a song I just wrote for a friend.
Thought I would post it since it might not end up being used.

or just look on itunes or watch videos on youtube over and over

********WARNING! ************

******** Sad song ************

This song came out of living in Los Angeles, but really started to take meaning when I found myself in Tokyo everyday, surrounded by masses of people who never greet one another, speak a formal language to ensure boundaries are established between strangers and live alone in apartments too small to have friends over for a movie or drinks.

I shot this video with my phone.

I played two trombones on this song.

The location is mostly Isetan (the neiman marcus of Tokyo), the streets of Shinjuku and the back hall of the school where I teach.

Dave wrote a song about being like a dinosaur.

I liked it a lot

so I rerecorded it to give it more of a band feel

Now it is like David, Justin and the Justins.

Now we produce together. We have more songs on the way!
I am like a dinosaur

Here is a little peak into what Mr. Misung David and I have been up to lately.

I like his songs a lot, but I miss playing on them

so

we does collaborate INBOX style. he write, I produce and play

Here is his song from this last Monday. I re-recorded parts at my place in Tokyo on Tuesday, sent him the part, he recorded the vocals for me, I put them in now.

Here you go!
Drowning

Here’s a song about
PROTEIN

Tanpakushitsu is Japanese for protein.

The lyrics are about dieting, losing a little weight then gaining more back.

I then sing

Banana diet
Watermelon diet
Apple diet
Watermelon diet

Cause I heard about these from some Japanese friends.

Enjoy!

This will be part of my Debu debut CD.

I just started a song about octopi and tacos.

Food!
