Hey, Michael,
Got your CD today and it was amazing! Anh got her stuff too and she loved it, and we listened to your CD in the car together. We were amazed at how good you are at singing, guitar, and songwriting.
I thought the lyrics were clever when I read them earlier, but set to music, it is very full of heart. Your voice sort of reminds me of Elvis Costello. You sing with a lot of genuine feeling.
You should make a whole set of Akemi songs (or other songs) and sell the CDs at your table at conventions, or in the back of your books! Maybe bring your guitar to sing em live at the table to show people how cool it is and they'ed be buying your CDs!
People will love your performances. We were impressed at how talented you are. |

Those Akemi songs are incredible!
Put your favorite Akemi image from the comics as the cover and serve em up at cons from your table!
Love your lyrics and heartfelt sound |

David, thank you. Hmm, make Akemi cd's? Maybe just copy cd-r's and print up a pouch at kinkos.. It would be a dream to get into a studio and do real recordings of the songs instead of me hitting record on my laptop.
Sara, you can listen to both songs at my website, www.ciderviewproject.com. Go to the other projects section. |

MICHAEL!!!! that was pretty good i couldn't understand some of it(Japanese) but it was pretty mellow. Lora, mad at me as she is, even came to the bedroom door and listened. she didn't comment but if she hadn't like it she would have made a smerking noise and SHE DIDN'T!!
i'll see if i can get her credit card(they won't let me have one because of a certain FF#48 i bought without asking ) and make that donation
good stuff, dude!  _________________

Sara, thanks. The Japanese lyrics are:
First song:
furikake = seasoning/topping on rice
akemi no ai = akemi's love
mata ashita watachitachi isho ni inai = until tomorrow we won't have love
sorekara eien isho ni no ai = and then forever we love
second song:
kimi wa toi yume = you are a distant dream
sayonara akemi chan = good-bye akemi
itsumo boku no kokoro no nake de = always in my heart
kimi o motsu = you i will keep |

You got the mad love for Akemi.
You should the Akemi action figure and carry it around in your pocket
Feel free to cut out or copy an Akemi picture for your CDRs.
The one I thought of when I heard your songs was the one from pg 1 of #9 of Metamorphosis. Cause she sort of has that mysterious smile that you mention in your songs.
That image is on the backs of the Scarab and Akemi action figure packaging. |

Yes, but does she have the made love for me?
Shannon showed me the Akemi figure in Chicago. I had recently put on some chapstick, so I kissed the package where Akemi's head was and you could see my lip marks on the package. I asked her to show it to you, but I don't think she had time. If I only had lipstick..
Oh, and one more thing. When you read my new comic, you might see a girl with an Akemi-like haircut. This was an accident! I had already asked her to model for my character and the day she did, that's how her hair was. And I liked it and didn't change it.
Thanks for everything
Michael |

There is no denying that your work has done wonders for my love life in the past. But I can only see this suggestion leading to impending disaster.. |
