Video for Count the Sheep. (Rough Mix) 2011
This video was made shortly after the huge Tohoku Earthquake & Tsunami that struck here in Japan on March 11th 2011. My daughter & I made the video in my painting studio. We were both feeling a bit scared and fragile during that time and the aftershocks were continous. I remember bits of concrete falling around me while the earth was shaking as we were recording and I think this tension is felt in the music and the video. Jessica Koyuki was 9 years old at the time and I just gave her a really simple bloggie type video camera and asked her to film whatever she liked. That's exactly what she did. TSJ
Video for Birds Fly. (Rough Mix) 2012
Takumi Kawashima and I recorded this duet during a recording session for the Reach album. The track didn't make it onto the album as it didn't seem to fit so will into the track list, but it will be included in the FTC Collaboration Compilation album later this year. TSJ
