Mod Update

First, I want to say thank you to the followers who have remained despite a significant lack of activity here. I appreciate your loyalty very, very much!

Due to personal circumstances, I wasn’t able to achieve the goals I had for this blog when I created it two years ago. There were also fewer updates from the band during this past year. However, recently Samurai has become more active and, despite their new releases only being available to those lucky enough to see them live, I want to continue building this blog for their international fan base with the hope new music will also be available to us before long. *^^*

In the coming days, I plan to revamp the layout and begin adding new posts, including news, lyric translations, photos and video links. At that time, I’ll also delete this post to reduce the amount of non-Samurai text posts.

Once again, I thank you again for your loyalty through my lapse into the oblivion! With renewed intent, I will do my best for you (beautiful! wonderful! exceptionally patient!) fans of this phenomenal band. ☆

Enuma Takumi of SAMURAI JACK UNIVERSE Unreleased song「忘れゆく、心臓」(Wasure yuku, shinzou / The heart I continue to forget)

Live at Shimokitazawa MOSIAC July 22, 2014

▶ Comments from Enuma

@samuraienuma こんばんは、江沼です。あんなことやこんなこと思い出して、見て聞いてほしいです。後悔や、喪失、希望、未来。どれも当てはまり、どれも当てはまらない。そんな歌をつくりたい！ Good evening, Enuma here. I want to recall, to see, to hear such things which are familiar and unfamiliar to me. Regret, loss, hope, the future. Things that may or may not be applicable or true. I want to make that kind of song!

It's been a while..!

Hi everyone! I realize tumblr updates have been scarce this year while I have been dealing with issues in my personal life. Please know I greatly appreciate each of you for continuing to support Samurai Jack Universe through this blog in spite of my long absence! After meeting up with a friend I met through Samurai's music earlier this summer, my heart feels more energized and dedicated to sharing this band with as many people across the globe as possible. *^^* I would be grateful for your patience as I catch up on recent news and settle back into my language studies in order to more confidently deliver translations. Who knows? You might be rewarded with a small giveaway later this year... ♪ In the meantime, have you checked out Aoki's Instagram? It serves as an account for the entire band, so if you've ever been curious to see behind-the-scenes footage of the boys ~with color filters~ definitely check it out online and follow him if you are an Instagram user! If you have any questions, comments, requests or messages to the band, my ask box is always open. ★ Again, thanks so much for supporting this talented band! Please look forward to more frequent updates! (^o^)/

One of the great(ish) Samurai mysteries is solved: According to Abe's twitter, our beloved guitarist Sugiura was born in midsummer! Even though this is a belated celebration, let's (at least in spirit) wish Sugiura much happiness in the year to come! お誕生日おめでとうございます、杉浦さん！ As a bonus, check out this adorable photo Abe posted of Sugiura celebrating his birthday last year. It's a good look, right? ^__^
