Last Samurai?

Maybe so.

Here are some photos from the session de samurai last week.

One of these will be used as back cover of the album when it’s released as CD.

This photo session was so fun the photographer and I are now thinking about sequels to this.
A Last Samurai photograph series.

The album cover art is done, and this weekend my friends and I will be shooting a video for the song “Cheeseburger Baby” which will be the single off the new album.

Here it is. A home video-esque sample trailer for VME’s upcoming album “Village Avant-Garde”, due out next month. You can get a very basic idea of what this album smells like. All shot here in Tokyo with a bunch of my friends. Some parts of it are from the Samurai photo shoot from last week that I talked about here on this page.

It’s home-made for my friends and Voluntary Mothers all around the world to have a taste of my home. Not for the masses, but please enjoy the hand-made-on-a-budget feel of this video.

A “real” music video for one of the songs off the album coming up in a few weeks.

That’s right. Tomorrow I’ll turn into a samurai.

A photographer friend of mine will be shooting some new photos of me in a pseudo-samurai outfit, one of which I’m hoping to use as the back cover of the new album. We’re planning of going to a neighborhood shrine and get some Oriental-looking photos.

Also recently I’ve been back in touch with our last tour bass player Sakura-man, and talking of getting the new music out there here in Japan. Gotta get back in shape.

So when the fuck am I going to get this new album?
is what I’ve been hearing from some of you Voluntary Mothers.
It’s coming early next month, most likely as a download-only album, in the style of last Radiohead album.

Talk to ya soon.
