Piana: English Translations
Physical State: achey
Mental State: stressed
Music:Point Juncture, WA - Heart To Elk
Fashion sense: jeans, brown shirt
Earlier this week I had mentioned about rediscovering music by Piana (Naoko Sasaki). Well after some poking around on her website I came across a selection of English translations of her album Ephemeral which the previous post had a video for. The translation for "Something's Lost" is below...beautiful poetry.
something is lost
rain showers color the town blue
we swim in the light
our tiny goodbye echoed
we might have to say goodbye
what are we starting to forget
we might have to be apart
we might not meet again
we might have to say goodbye
midnight sun in the sky
we might have to be apart
what are we starting to lose?

Piana: Something's Lost
Physical State: slouchy
Mental State: sleepy
Music: Piana - Ephemeral
Fashion sense: jeans, blue shirt
I was going through my itunes library and reordering some of my tracks when I came across this great song by Japanese electronic artist Piana (aka Naoko Sasaki). I thought the song is so relaxing and sure enough there's a beautiful video to accompany it. Her voice reminds me of Liz Frazer of The Cocteau Twins and sadly I don't know Japanese all that well so I can't tell what she is singing about but I bet it's something lovely. This lady reminds me of a Japanese Bjork in some ways (maybe it's the style of her songs and videos). Beautiful stuff.

I <3 Tokidoki!
Physical State: headachey
Mental State: slow
Music: Jenny Lewis with The Watson Twins - Rabbit Fur Coat
Fashion sense: jeans, black t-shirt
I just discovered the amazing graphic work of Simone Legno of Italy now living in the US. But you could swear that he is Japanese from his work with his company Tokidoki. He has designed everything from ipod skins to Onitsuka Tiger shoes to t-shirts. Beautiful and colourful stuff!
