January 10th, 2008 name that song

after seeing the sony bravia cm, i also wanted to know who the cm music was written by, and turns out it was tatsuki hashimoto. he has a long string of cm credits, some soundtrack and production work i believe, and wrote the first song on chara’s last album ‘union’ (私を見つめて).

some of my favourites of his cm work include the recent uniqlo campaign (whistling and cut up finger snaps);

a piece for nonno magazine (sounds kaji hideki/shibuya kei-ish);

and one for toli (including french lyrics).

by the way, the rss feed for this blog seems stuffed for some reason. i’m not getting updates in google reader, and hence turned off the “bad behavior” spam protection i recently installed, incase it was blocking readers as well. but still, i’m not sure what is causing it…
