Jack Johnson

Jack Johnson is a musician from United States of America Hawaii Oahu. Comfortable harmony and the soft air feeling of the acoustic guitar are characteristics of his sound. He caused a new idea in the surf music scene where a hard core punk was the subject till then. In addition, being a surfer, a movie director, a businessman, a producer, he shows various talents as well as a musician. He started to devote himself to music since he experienced a serious accident during surfing at the age of 17. The 1st album "brush fire fairy tales" in 2001 recorded a world-beater of the million sales in United States. I came to like him at the moment when I heard his music for the first time. I love the rhythm that is carved with like a wave and the voice that is gentle like wind!

Aerosmith

I’d like to introduce “Areosmith,” an American rock band. The album which I bought for the first time was a work of Aerosmith. I think their most famous works in Japan are "Walk this way," which used in a commercial of Softbank, and “I don’t want to miss a thing,” which is main theme music of Armageddon. They build the first golden age in 1970's, but are sluggish by a drug and the problem of human relations in the first half of 1980's. All the members are hospitalized for a drug in the rehabilitation facilities. They achieved rare revival in history of lock and got the second golden age which exceeds 1970's commercially afterwards. The total sales of the album are said more than 150000000 pieces universally now! However, I am very sad that news that Steven Tyler of the vocal may withdraw from "Aerosmith" spreads now. I wish that it is a lie.
