The month of August was crazy! Too much work and play and no time to post! I will post more often so please come back sometime.
On the 31st of August, Shawn and I went to see Elliott Yamin (see below) at our favorite music venue Billboard Live. Elliott was energetic, down to earth and chatty from the excitement of what a great tour he and his band were having over the last several days. He was so sad that his Japan tour was over because he just loved Japanese fans (some of them followed around the country) and their warm welcome! His performance was amazing (yes, One Word!) as his incredible voice, singing and apparent love of performing for the audience all came together and moved us. Notable songs were Free (he dedicated it to the audience-we can do anything!), Take My Breath Away (dedicated to the ladies in the audience!) and my favorite song Wait for You. He offered to stay for autographing any official Yamin goods sold at the shop. No new songs were performed but he said there would be a release of "The Premium Edition" of his album containing a new song covering a Japanese artist Yusaku Kiyama's "Home" on Oct. 8th.

Thank you for your lovely update Eri. I am so glad to hear that you enjoyed the concert. I was hoping you would get to hear the new song that we have been hearing rumors about. He is releasing a Christmas album here in the States on October 7th. It will have most of the songs from his Holiday CD that he did for Target last year plus two new ones.
Was that a picture of the venue? It sure looked like a nice place to see a concert.
Have a great September and I will be reading. :)
Thank you for writing about your Emazing experience with Elliott.
