Coming soon... Spanish?!? In an attempt to reach out to even more of Fukuyama-san's international fans, Pedro (with Nidia's help) has offered to help translate part of my site into Spanish! I'm quite excited about the prospect! Keep an eye out for it! ^-^b

Happy Mothers' Day to all you mothers - and grandmothers - out there!

For today's breakfast, I wrote "kids plan it" on the menu. Half the house ate pop tarts and the other half poured a bowl of cereal. (shrug) Ah, well. I just took advantage of the fact that I didn't have to please everyone today and scrambled together some green onion, shiitake, spinich, eggs, and cheese. Yum!

I also used the fact that it's Mothers' Day to bludgeon my way into full control of the computer and the TV at the same time! (heehee) If I didn't still have to go to work in an hour, everything would be perfect... Right now, I'm eating and watching Electric Fire 2007 for the umpteenth time. It was expensive, but worth it!

I've also been watching clips from a TV special featuring JAM Project's Japan Flight 2008 tour. Wow! They just keep getting better and better each year! I look forward to he DVD going on sale! I suspect it won't be until after the world tour end next November though... They'll no doubt be adding a few clips from that to the extras disc like they did last year when members went to events over-seas. (If you have the DVD but haven't seen them yet, click on the airplane on the menu screen...)

Oh, for all you Becca-isms fans out there, I thought I'd shared with you the breakfast she just showed me she's eating: a bowl of strawberries mixed with broccoli and a cup of peanut butter mixed with Nutella. Well... it's good for her, at least. ^^b

I've done some work on my site last night and this morning. Anime Friends in Brazil finally made official the announcement that JAM Project's Brazil stop will be at their convention... just as we all figured, eh. ^-^ No doubt Ricardo Cruz will be joining them there since Anime Friends is his home territory, eh. I noticed in the Japan Flight clips that he's performing as a fully integrated member of the group now when he's with them. It made for a much smoother overall performance, and show-cased his own abilities better, than when he was just brought in as a featured artist for a couple songs during the encore like last couple years.

Speaking of encores, I saw the clip with them singing Skill just minutes after Fukuyama-san broke his collarbone... that guy is amazing! Aside from the fact that he wasn't bouncing around so much, there was absolutely no indication in his performance of how badly he was hurt! Wow! That's a pro!

On that note, here's today's updates list. Look for new entries on: the concert schedule page; the page following Fukuyama-san's recovery from the above mentioned broken bone; and I'm revamping the Internet Appearances and Concert Reports page - it's actually starting to have "internet appearances" info on it. (What a concept!) Working on, but not up at all yet: English translations for "No Border" and Disc 2 of the Electric Fire 2007 DVD.

See ya ^-^
