1. The first time to stay at a youth hostel I stayed at a youth hostel in Obihiro, Hokkaido in this autumn and I really enjoyed the time there (Toipirka Kita Obihiro). This experience gave me a small dream to have my own hostel in the future... 2. Nuendo A long time has passed since I stopped to make music but I could do it in 2002 (it was just a short one, though). I appreciate Nuendo's help. 3. IdN Fresh Conference Singapore I went to the Fresh Conference again. It was really hot in Singapore but I now feel that was my summer this year. 4. Closed Shift Techno I closed "Shift Techno" after a 4-year-run. Everybody who bought the works and who are from labels, thank you! 5. iPod Not only can I listen to music, but also it can be a hard disk. This is a very useful tool. I have put about 500 tracks and use the rest to keep the data.
