Jakarta in Google Earth's Eyes

Just playing with the Google Earth and what a surprise. I can see Jakarta in higher more detail resolution. It doesn't in high resolution like most of United States regions but it already better than before. So if you have Google Earth installed in your PC or Mac, give it a try and see by yourself.

Emi Fujita: Rembrandt Sky

Rembrandt Sky AlbumEmi Fujita, is better known as one half of the husband-wife group, Le Couple.

She and her husband, Ryuji Fujita, made their debut in 1994, after being talent-scouted by their producer.

Their most memorable work is the heartwarming theme song of the popular Japanese drama “Under The Same Roof”, aptly titled Hidamari No Uta (Heartwarming Song in Japan). It sold a whopping 1.8 million copies in Japan in 1997.
In Asia, although her work with Le Couple is more recognisable than as a solo artiste, Emi Fujita's english solo album entitled Camomile Extra and Camomile Blend have sold a total of 45,000 copies in Malaysia and Singapore.

An impressive figure as only mainstream A-listers like Ayumi Hamasaki and BOA have managed to cross the 10,000 mark.

J-POP singer Emi Fujita's music evokes a calm, soothing feeling; much like camomile! For biography, read on!

Her biography is courtesy of InterGlobal Music, Malaysia.

She and her husband, Ryuji Fuijita debuted as a married couple, “Le Couple” in 1991 in Japan after being talent-scouted by their producer. Their most memorable work is the heartwarming theme song of the popular drama “Under The Same Roof”, aptly titled “Hidamari No Uta”. She then started on her solo albums focusing on her amazing voice.

She released her first solo album “Camomile” that covered famous western songs in 2001.

It got a huge hit in Hong Kong and was awarded the Platinum Disk. Released in Taiwan, South Korea, Malaysia and Singapore successfully after the hit in Hong Kong.

The second solo album “Camomile Blend” was released on October 1st, 2003 in Japan, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Singapore and Malaysia simultaneously. Again, it was awarded the Platinum Disk in Hong Kong, Taiwan and Singapore. She started performing concerts overseas in 2003.

In October 2004, she had her concert in Singapore's largest concert hall, “Esplanade : Theater on the Bay”, which Emi says it was an unforgettable and special night. There was still an endless applause after three curtain calls.

Her new album, “Rembrandt Sky” was released on November 2nd, 2005 in Japan, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand and South Korea. The title was named after a Dutch painter, Rembrandt Van Rijn, to describe the light and shadow of music, life or even love.

In 2006, she is planning to have her concert in Hong Kong and Singapore.
This latest album, Rembrandt Sky has 2 version, a japanese version only sold in Japan and an english version only sold outside of Japan. The reasons are pretty obvious, as she mentioned that hopefully with an english version of her album, she would be able to reach more listeners. As I was saying, she decided on the album title, Rembrandt Sky because of the Dutch born painter, Rembrandt Van Rijn. Now this famous painter was a master of light and shadow whose paintings, drawings, and etchings made him a giant in the history of art. Thus, hopes to bring the lights and shadows of life through her songs to the world.

She mentioned that her other 2 CDs, Camomile Extra and Camomile Blend was more focused on relaxation and get a good sleep, this new album is more pop/jazz infused for adults to enjoy.
