Following the acclaimed debut album, Jun Ray Song Chang (Number 4 album of 2002 in The Wire, Top 40 album of 2002 in Mojo magazine, and Top 40 single of the year in Muzik), Asa-Chang & Junray released an entirely new mini-album, Tsu Gi Ne Pu. Tsu Gi Ne Pu (say it ‘tsoo-gee-ne-poo’), comes from arcane Japanese language, and is somewhat difficult to translate. Asa-Chang saw a TV poetry programme, in which a poem entitled ‘Tsu Gi Ne Pu’ by Sadakazu Fujii was recited. The poem mixed up modern Japanese with very old school language and this amazed Asa-Chang. After the striking emotional depth of the instant classic ‘Hana’, Asa-Chang had been wondering whether he could write music of that quality again. Hearing the poetry reading, he found new inspiration and began to work on these new recordings.
