Melbourne born singer-songwriter Aaron Joseph Russo offers a heartwarming single to his listeners with a cover from Japanese band Fishmans and their track ‘Baby Blue’. Russo is known for blending genres by using mellow psychedelic synth effects or angelic vocal melodies, which fit perfectly with the style of the jazz rock and dub band from Tokyo who was most active at the end of the 80s. His cover stays true to the original song, being jazzy and dubby while radiating a sunny, irresistible pop.

朝起きて
服を着て
いつものバスに乗って
外の景色を眺めて
Driving past things these concrete things
ずっと前ここはジャングル
って思うとIts crazy
人間ってすごいなって
ある意味思うMy day dram

Just remembered its 2014
Do you know what that really means?
待ってたんだ
うれしいな
Its the year of the horse thats running freely
本当は羊年なんだ
別にいいじゃん
内緒だよ
私って変かな？
But can't get this images out of my head

小さい頃テレビで見たんだ
髪を風になびかせて
Running freely these beautiful horses
All together in a field no ending
That summer breeze
忘れられない
Let me run with you
Let me run with you
私も一緒に走らせて
Oh hell yah
I have a really good feeling

どこに行くんだろ
どんな明日が待ってるんだろう
わからないから
おもしろいんだこの人生

So i'm running
Yah i'm running
Finally running
I'm running
running

*nanana bit

Yah so come run with me
Lets be free
Don't look back coz we are not coming back
No ones gonna ever catch me and ride me
Ride me

Yah so come run with me
Lets be free
Don't look back coz we are not coming back
No ones gonna ever catch me and ride me
I'm that horse that I saw on T.V

Idols, Sakura

Towa Tei - Technova 
Copacabana Edit By Petko Turner

Towa Tei is a third-generation Korean-Japanese.

Towa began making demo tapes at the age of 16 having bought his first synthesizer, a Korg MS-10. While studying at Musashino Art University Junior College of Art and Design he sent his tape to a radio program of Ryuichi Sakamoto titled "Sound Street".

In 1987, Towa moved to the US to study graphic design and joined house act Deee-Lite, a trio with Supa DJ Dimitry and Lady Miss Kier, enjoying almost instant success after debuting in 1990 with their album World Clique and the single "Groove Is In the Heart".

In 1991, Towa collaborated with his idol Ryuichi Sakamoto on Sakamoto's album Heartbeat. He also appeared on Sakamoto's follow up album Sweet Revenge.

In 1994, Towa returned to Japan after seven years in New York. He hinted in a 2011 interview that his time with Deee-Lite made him ill, though he didn't expand on the reasons why. Towa debuted as a solo act with Future Listening! that same year, incorporating an array of musical styles, including electronic, bossa nova, house, jazz and pop. It featured collaborations with Joi Cardwell, Bebel Gilberto, MC Kinky, Hiroshi Takano, Ryuichi Sakamoto, Haruomi Hosono, Toshihiko Mori, Satoshi Tomiie, Yuichi Oki of Tokyo Ska Paradise Orchestra and Pizzicato Five vocalist Maki Nomiya.

Sound Museum followed in 1997, then Last Century Modern in 1999. 2002 brought the album Towa Tei, under the pseudonym Sweet Robots Against the Machine. Flash surfaced in 2005 by which time Towa was DJing regularly in Japan. He has admitted though, that he doesn't enjoy performing and prefers producing and using computers.

Big Fun, featuring Verbal and Mademoiselle Yulia was released in 2009 and was the third album to feature the artwork of San Franciscan painter and graffiti artist Barry McGee. For the album, Towa utilized MySpace to collaborate with artists from around the world even if he didn't know them, such as with German act Taprikk Sweezee.[1] Another collaborator he worked with for Big Fun was Miho Hatori of Cibo Matto, though they also only met on MySpace.

Towa has also established his own creative company, hug inc, which among other things, manufactures his trademark sunglasses.
