Tak Matsumoto News

While we’re still waiting for some news from B’z, Vermillion has announced that Tak Matsumoto will be guest on bayfm’s 25th anniversary special program. On the show called “POWER OF RADIO SPIRITS”, Tak Matsumoto will have a talk with music critic Masa Ito. The show is broadcasted live on bayfm on September 30th from 9PM to 10PM Japanese Standard Time. The contents of the talk have not been revealed. They just call it a “special talk”.

As we previously reported, Amazon.com listed Tak Matsumoto’s「New Horizon」for a July 8th release in the U.S., however, Amazon.com now lists it slated for a September 9th release. Official confirmation has yet to surface as 335 Records lists the album as “coming soon” on their website. I did some further digging, and also found a possible track list for the U.S. version on CDUniverse.

Light of the Moon should be an English translation of「Tsuki no Akari」, but we are not sure if「Once Upon A Love」is the English title for「Gakuseigai no Kissaten」, or if it’s a completely new track exclusive to the U.S. version.

Possible track list for the U.S. release:

01.Take 5
02.New Horizon
03.Feel Like a Woman Tonight
04.Rodeo Blues
05.Island of Peace
06.That’s Cool
07.Shattered Glass
08.Light of the Moon
09.Reason To Be…
10.Black Jack
11.Once Upon a Love
12.Rain
