Here is the B&S informations in this country. TOSHIBA EMI just released "If you're -"LP. I am not sure if this is due the the TOSHIBA's big promotion on B&S or not, but most of the music mazgazine reviews, here in Japan, are very - hmmmm, supportive - or welcoming. Most of the critics are taking B&S sounds as highly fashionable. To prove that, even in a Japanese fashion magazine called "FIGARO JAPON" which is quite hi-fashion magazine which is relevant to Harpers or Vogue in UK (or maybe more classy, because that magazine contains full of "the supermodels in more than GBP500 clothes with famous fashion photographers' shot" type). And the review in FIGARO is highly recommending B&S. It says, in Japanese music industry, B&S sounds are called in comparison as "minstrel of the modern age" I am not sure of the existance of "a fanclub" in Japan, yet. Anyway, B&S has TOSHIBA rabel in Japan now, so I will see B&S faces in a lot of Japanese music magazines very soon. P.S. I was sending "FIGARO JAPON" magazine to my friend Susan in Hamilton who is a friend of "Adrian". I wonder if this make sense to you....
