partners in crime

I don't think I've really mentioned anything about my music here, so this post may be a bit random. 

Today, I had a meeting of sorts with my music producer and his friend whom I will be collaborating with on a brand new track. Not too surprisingly, our meeting lasted a couple hours at two different cafes - Scopp Cafe and Cafe Aaliya, both in Shinjuku. It's really is an amazing feeling when you can talk about music with two great minds and have common ideas and interests. I'm so excited to write lyrics for our new demo and get into the recording studio! 

Good night world xx

brunch at beacon

Writing this post is making my mouth water all over again. This morning, I had brunch with my good friend Marie at Beacon Urban Chop House, a high-end restaurant in Shibuya. It was the first and best brunch I've ever had in Japan. The orange almond muffin and vanilla almond french toast were indescribably delicious. All I can say is, you have to try this place. After brunch, Marie and I enjoyed our coffee/ tea outside in the sunny weather. What a great way to start my weekend :) 

Have a good weekend everyone!

Love,
