I was wondering how many readers of my blog know that Mahoto is going to publish his own book on Sep 28th... It's called "Shu Shu Shu no Hon~Watanabe Mahoto Listener's Book" I don't know if you can access to Japanese Amazon website, but I am just going to leave Amazon URL here. http://www.amazon.co.jp/しゅしゅしゅの本~ワタナベマホトDVD付き1stリスナーズBOOK~-エンターブレインムック/dp/404730638X There are pictures, a long interview, and you will be introduced to an artist Mahoto's day etc.... This book also comes with a music video of Kaiware Hammer (Mahoto's Hip-Hop artist group). So you will be able to see Mahoto in motion!! I cannot get my hands on this book at the end of this month, and I really think you all will enjoy it if you like Mahoto.  I don't know if anybody want to see it, but I think I will review his book when it gets published!
