Journey to Japan

Landed in Japan for the first time in exactly 10 years. Incredible:

We are here for Cassie to perform for all of the retailers in this market, meaning the folks who will decide how many copies of her CD will be in their stores. It’s a private performance - Paris Hilton and Michael Buble (also in the Warner Music family) will be there as well. Today’s about getting to know the city again. The pleasure is mine…

    I love Japan, even though I never been there. I took Japanese for two years in high school, which its pretty dope. And remember: When someone in Japan asks you if you can make a hot beat, you say: “Atuku simasu.” It means “I’ll make it hot.” ;)

    Good clip man, you definitely doing your thing. Digital Media, you represent the elite of it, keep doing what you do.

  14. Thomas Nakanishi:

    Ryan - definitely go to Shibuya and have a “Lost in Translation” moment. Enjoy my great-grandmother-land…haha.

    An interesting place to visit is the Yasukuni Shrine where the Japanese honor their fallen soldiers. THere’s some controversy about the historical site and the fact that Japan has not apologized for its WWII atrocities but nonetheless, the shrine is a worthwhile stop to think about war/peace as it relates to back then and now.

    Happy travels!

  20. catherine:

    Hi, i dont have a website or music company etc my life is a million miles from what you are doing its something i can only dream of. I just came across this website by chance and i have to tell you it has inspired me and given me motivation to follow my own dreams and beliefs regardless of the many obstacles that are in my way and believe me that was badly needed in my life atthe moment.I may not take over the world next selection style but i will have the courage drive and focus to make a better world for me and my son so he will have the opportunities i used to feel i could not give him.Thankyou and i wish you all the success in the world and especially to the georgeous miss cassie.Where did you find her????

  21. Adrian Marioghae:

    Ryan Leslie, I really need you right now. I want to be a rapper really badly. All my friends are saying I should be one and if I could get signed up, then my life will be complete. I really need you to sign me up, or at least help me to get signed up. I’m 14 but my skillz are of the chain! Send me an email at SuperSaiyanMario@hotmail.co.uk about details. If you give me a chance, I won’t disapoint when the time comes. If you need me to rap for you, I will. But if it means I’ll get my dream, then so be it!
