"PIANO STEALTH UNCOVERED
Current mood: jubilant
Category: Dreams and the Supernatural

Here is something I feel very happy and proud about: package design for the new SOISONG album. I admit my original intention was to make it follow the concept introduced with our first release - "disposable design" [read "making outrageously expensive package which has to be destroyed in order to hear the record"]. Luckily, this time my band-mate Sleazy persuaded me to make something that can be re-used. Now, I personally don't mind my amateur design ambitions to be ripped apart by the hands of music lovers - after all I'm not a designer in any measure. But ever since seeing the way the first record turned out, I am filled with profound respect to the one-man company Here Ltd. that puts an incredible amount of care and passion into making my utopian school-boyish paperworks into professionally looking CD package. I guess I simply could no longer let this work of love to be destroyed, so..

Here is the result: PIANO STEALTH [TM] package, which I am happy to unveil now as our album has been announced.

The first image is the outside "shell", which was originally sketched to be "disposable"..



[Carefully] opening the shell, one finds a glossy folder which contains the actual CD. The front page of the folder portrays me and Sleazy slightly morphed into one of the photographs taken with help from Emi+ Takeuchi in Tokyo. [I must say the models look so much better in their original shapes!]



The back side of the package spells a cryptic message written in a typeface I accidentally came up with specifically for the purpose. I am very happy Peter Christopherson voluntarily took the difficult job of making a proper font out of it.. and I truly hope someone will one day be able to read what it says!




Within the folder hides a piano-laquered octagonal CD made with help from our friend in Taipei, Han Li Chiou.






Finally, the inside of the "shell" this time contains useful information one often expects to find in a record - printed credits and a drawing made for us by our webmaster Yuu Omiya - watch out for SOISONG T-shirts with this design!






In other words, the way this album looks today is a result of a very dedicated collective effort and I feel very grateful to everyone who put their love and energy into it. Myself, I have not seen the actual package yet, but I was already told it feels even better than what it looks like in the pictures. I'm not dribbling, but I'm certainly full of anticipation."
