      Good luck with michiru Akiyoshi, what's the cover looks like and album title?... I wish you the best of luck...I'll consult with my Japanese source.
      -----
      Is she related to the hard bop jazz pianist Toshiko Akiyoshi? I know Monday has some sort of roots in the jazz field with her parents. Does anybody know if the IG Culture and Ananda Project remixes are still coming out? They were supposed to come out with 4 Seasons but I guess nothing has happened!
    My wrong. michiru Akiyoshi is Monday michiru. here is a little bio of the Michiru Family...
     
    Full Name: Monday Michiru Akiyoshi (Mariano)
    Mother: famous Jazz pianist Toshiko Shuukichi
    Father: saxophon player char Lee Mali (can't get the correct spelling)
    Born: 1963 America, Known in Japan as a RnB & Jazz singer.

    Just a side note, it's suprising how talents are often ignored in their native land. A lot of my Japanese friends has never heard of UFO nor think Monday is an achieving artist.
      How was the Play It By Ear single? The song sort of reminds me of commercial pop but I heard a batucada version that sounded interesting but the lack of knowledge from anyone on this release must be quite small. The best that Monday ever got was definitely Incognito's Caporeira Remix of Yellow Bird! Nice!

      I just got a Monday Michiru: falling forward. : ]

      The 12" of this is nice because you get the instrumental which isn't on the CD. Sames goes for the Introspection 12". You get Changes as an instrumental. Nice!
    Question: why there's alway variation between CD release and Vinyl release? I used to have a gramophone. But the sound quality is reall not that good, and I don't really have the space and $$$ for speaker+amplifier+turntable, so I gave up the idea of buying Vinyl from then, However, it looks like I am missing out a lot of things out there.
    If anyone can answer me, Thank you.
      Oh yeah, BTW, the first Monday album is very poppish. Watch out!
