Studio One recording session

15th December 2006

Today I got to go to the recording session of the music for the Passion concert. When I got to Studio 1, Sakimoto-san and his assistant/manager Yamamoto-san were there. I got to meet them both, and Yamamoto-san and I had a nice chat together, using a mixture of broken English on her half and English with random Japanese words thrown in on mine.

It turns out that Yamamoto-san is the production producer for Digimon, and she was very happy to hear that Digimon are quite well-known here in Australia.

I was asked to help Josh (percussionist) to set up his equipment, which offered me an additional chance to have another nice chat.

Mitsuda-san and Miyajime-san arrived a little later, and I was introduced to Mitsuda-san as a fan girl (yuck!), because my introducer found out that I like a piece from Chrono Trigger.

My day was spent answering phones and taking messages, repeatedly asking the studio staff to turn down the air conditioner because the guests were freezing, fetching coffee, page turning, and listening to a couple of songs over and over again as they rehearsed, recorded, re-recorded, listened, and picked tracks.

Quite a nice, productive day. Looking forward to the concert tomorrow!
