I tried to make a Flash movie for the first time.
I've wanted to do it since a long time ago, and it came true!
My first movie is the birthday & support message for my favorie guitarist, Doug Aldrich. I put some messages from his fans and Doug's photos in the movie, and I looked back his careers. I modified over and over again, so it took a lot of time to finish ... but I think it looks good. Doug seems to like it, so I'm glad. :)

My first work is here.

Finally Whitesnake's Japan tour has been confirmed! (More information to my Doug Aldrich In My Heart website.)
The information about this was passing by quickly. The venues are bigger than the last tour, 9 shows including 2 standing-style venues. The ticket will be sold out soon again? There is no date for the Japanese version of their live DVD yet, but they got No. 1 at the order chart before the release was canceled. So they are very popular now in Japan, I think. It would be better if they have a new album, but I'm very excited to see them again!

David Coverdale posted on his official board that "It appears we may be blessed in starting off the year's activities in Japan in early May..." It hasn't been confirmed yet, but it may be possible. Their live DVD will be released on February 7, but the Japanese version's release date hasn't been fixed. The American version seems to be region-free, so maybe we, Japanese can watch it. This DVD is sold out at pre-order at some CD stores ... amazing!
I heard the radio program "Power Rock Today" said Whitesnake might come to Japan. Maybe they will not play the new songs, but I hope they will if they come...

Time goes by very fast ... it's about a month since 2006 started.
It's crazy cold in this winter after 20 years ... I wea cloths a lot everyday. I catch a cold almost every winter, but I haven't yet this time, even if all the people around me caught a cold at least once. Because I rinse my mouth everyday?
I had some snow, but there is no problem to go to work. But it seems to be hard in the north part of Japan because they had more snow this winter. I heard from my American friend that the east coast of the US is rather warm this winter. The weather is strange in the world recently. It's a sign of disaster ... ? I'm afraid.
