New Year in Tokyo
Posted by nick | Filed under Personal
I’ve just arrived back from Sydney and happy to be home. First stop was a quick visit to my new local shrine Hie Jinja in Akasaka. I couldn’t tell if the coffers were full from the Osaisen which is the custom of throwing money into large wooden boxes, ringing the shrine’s bell to wake up the gods and praying. It seemed to me that business was up from last year, so let’s hope this is a good sign of things to come!

I attended the new Beverly Hills flag ship store opening for G-Star last night with Norico. It was a fantastic party with our good friend Wade from Le Baron DJing and Duran Duran producer Mark Ronson playing a set. Lovely to see our friends from Amsterdam all on good form.
Railways2 is now playing!
Posted by nick | Filed under Music, Syn
The much anticipated Railways2 opened nationwide today. After a highly acclaimed pre-release in Toyama, the film is now playing in theaters all over the country.
The original RAILWAYS movie, with its deep-rooted story of love, life and family, was a box office hit in 2010. This subsequent feature of life’s emotional journey was created out of the same inspiration and courage of the original film.
Tomokazu Miura and Kimiko Yo as a married couple of many years:

Nick Wood’s We Are The Light Release!!
Posted by nick | Filed under Music, Syn
Composed and produced by Nick Wood, the Sydney New Year’s Eve 2011 anthem, “We Are The Light”, has been officially released on the Australia iTunes Music Store today December 1st 2011.
Every year, the Sydney New Year’s Eve Countdown Event attracts interest from all over the world with their breathtaking fireworks and lively atmosphere.
This year’s theme of “Time to Dream” is pioneered and directed by none other than Australia’s acclaimed designer, Mark Newson. Nick Wood in turn drew ideas and inspiration from the theme and ultimately created the final work.
“We Are The Light” was recorded by first-class artists from Australia, and completed at the Los Angeles studios of Australia’s renown producer, Wizardofoz.
All proceeds from iTunes will help aid the humanitarian group, CARE, with their fight to end global poverty.
