Thank Joseph it’s JUrstday!
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.

Jurstday! with Yuqi!
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

PROTEIN
Tanpakushitsu is Japanese for protein.
The lyrics are about dieting, losing a little weight then gaining more back.

Thursday Jurstday: Ottomen producer flashback
Dave and I made this song together. The process was probably one of the best experiences I’ve had writing with Dave (he doesn’t like writing with others).
I sampled David Bowie Soul Love to n’th degree and then added some electro beats, vocoder robot voice and we sat in the house and wrote most the lyrics by hand in front of the mic.
The video we didn’t do until 2006 when I was back in STL after my research stint in Osaka.
On a side note, this song almost got me turned away from an audition with freak folkster fashionista duo HECUBA.
They wanted someone who took music more serious. Who said music couldn’t be fun?

Thursday! = JuRsTDay! ^_~ 5/5 = Alone…
HELLO OTTOBOTS!!!! Its Jurstday Thursday so you get Justin music! Here is a sad song I wrote called ALONE. Below is a funky version…then further below is the original sad version from when I was sad about a lady in Osaka.
I am still trying to get the hang of playing my own songs. This is me in my bed room a few months ago in Tokyo. Pardon my squeeze on the high notes.
and here is the originallllll below with some retarded random video
in the original, u can hear a train go by in the background while I recorded bass and vocal together. I like.
Which one do u like? 2007 or 2011 version?
