Shokotan's 15th single is out now. First Press copies came with a special handshake meeting ticket.
The special 2 day release event occurred at Hyogo HMV store and Kanagawa Lazona mall.

Shokotan performed her new Single which she dedicated to her grandmother who recently passed away.

The song is beautiful. It reminds me of Fuyu no Yuenchi from the Magic Time album. It just has that sentimental feel to it. I hope many of you have heard it by now. It's been going nonstop on my playlist.

I have been away from the blog and Shoko's blog for awhile since the new year. After finally trying to get back on track with updates I came to a post that brought me to tears. It seems that Eiko, Shoko's grandmother, made a trip to the sky on January 3.
Shokotan was away from blogging for a few days for bereavement.

I got to personally meet Shoko's grandmother at the first live i attended on Shoko's birthday 2010 and I was extremely honored.
I must say that even though there was a language barrier I can feel what a wonderful, sweet, loving person she was. Shokota loved her dearly and I feel a heavy sadness. Shokotan states that she was happy that her grandmother got to attend her last live of the year in Nakagawa Broadway and cheered and jumped stronger that she had ever seen her cheer.
Eiko...rest in peace.
