ginjineko's new videos (and there are so many!)

Hey hey guys, sorry about the long interruption!

I've been overwhelmed with lots of nothing in my real life and been slacking on my mission as the editor in chief of Kamoneginji Studios blog.

There're so many great news I need to catch up with but first, let me start with the new videos ginjineko's been releasing.


Fender G-DEC3 Review (2010/Aug/30)

ginjineko was selected as a monitor user of Fender G-DEC3.
He used the amp for a month and made this review video.
You can see him playing his Fender Stratocaster, which is pretty rare.


Real Live Vol.3 information (2010/Sep/11)

This was recorded by ginjineko's iPhone just before the live performance last September.
I (khaluah) also performed as a singer and had so much fun!


D (2010/Oct/08)

This tune was released as a single-cut from his latest album "D".
He first intended to enter Guitar Idol 2010 with this tune, but at the very last minute, we found out that they extended the entry period so he changed his mind.
As a result, this video was turned into a free gift for you guys who's been waiting for his new album.


Concept Album「D」-Crossfade Preview- (2010/Oct/26)

This video is the free cross-fade preview for his latest album "D".
It's not available outside Japan yet, but will be soon.
You can hear the samples from all the tunes from the album. And I guarantee you that you'll crave for the full version!


"Metal Heads" REVIEW (2010/Nov/17)

ginjineko is now the official endorsed monitor artist for EZ drummer and this is the review video for its expansion, "Metal Heads".
http://www.crypton.co.jp/metal/toontrack
His latest album "D" was recorded using EZ drummer and it's obvious how the drum sound kicks butt comparing to his previous tunes.


"Guitar Idol 2010 Entry -PIKES PEAK- " (2010/Nov/19)

This is the Guitar Idol 2010 entry video.
You can still vote from this URL if you haven't yet!
http://www.guitaridol.tv/video/969
The tune is included in his latest album "D".
This version is the special edition featuring the drum audio of "Metal Heads", which is the expansion pack of EZ Drummer.


AMP SIMULATOR[AmpliTube & AmpKit] for iPhone V.S Line6 pocketPOD (2010/Nov/39)

He compared the sounds of AmpliTube for iPhone, AmpKit for iPhone, and Line6 Pocket POD.
Which one will you prefer?
BTW, Pocket POD is ginjineko's regular gear.


LIMIT BREAK -Metal Heads RE:MIX-

This is the new version of everybody's favorite, Limit Break.
The drum sound is amped up and our Big Cat's guitar play itself has been powered up!


Santa Claus is Coming to Town (2010/12/23)

Yup, he's done it again :)
He's been releasing punkish arranged Christmas tunes every year and this time it was "Santa Claus is Coming to Town"! He told us about all the background story of this tune on his Ustream program too. Aw, you missed it? Well, don't miss it this year then!


Heavy Rotation by AKB48 (2011/02/18)

Yes, it's that song of that girls group and he made it super cool like this!
He arranged the backing track to make it suitable for guitar instrumental and used two different playing style in the first half (red Hamer guitar) and the second half (Gibson).

July 11th 2010 Live Event Reports

Hey hey guys!
On July 11th, 2010, ginjineko presented a live event in Tokyo.
At this event, ginjineko, I (khaluah), and Captain Ed of Hayatebune performed live.

I know that you guys who live overseas couldn't make it to the show, so here are the snippets from it.
The sound was directly recorded by the mic on the camera so it's not super, but I hope you guys can feel like you were among the audience ;)
Enjoy!

ginjineko is now the official monitor artist for Ovation!

Hey hey, guys!
I've got ANOTHER great news today!
I know what you guys just thought... "AGAIN???"

Yes, AGAIN!

ginjineko is now the official monitor artist for Ovation!
As you guys know, Ovation is one of the most prestigious acoustic guitar manufacturer in the world.
The thing is, in Japan, Hamer and Ovation are handled by the same distributor, Nakao Corp., and they were so cool to say, "Why not let him do both? :)"

So here's the first demonstration video for this beautiful guitar he got from them.
Enjoy!




●About the guitar

Model NO.:CC54i-PL

●Review article (Japanese)
http://ameblo.jp/ginjineko/entry-10566779264.html


Here's the message from ginjineko himself about this guitar:

"The guitar itself is Celebrity, which is one of the most popular series in Ovation so the sound and resonantness is no doubt prime-quality. On top of that, it has multi-functional MP3 player which will be highly usable for both daily practices and live performances. If you are a guitar player who's thinking about adding an acoustic guitar to your weapon lineup, I think this one would be just perfect." - ginjineko

ginjineko's Specially Tuned HAMER guitar

Hey hey guys, have you guys checked out my previous post?
ginjineko is now the official monitor artist for HAMER GUITARS!


Today I've got a message from ginjineko himself so here it is.


--------------------------------
HAMER SATF-TBKS【SPECIAL】

I am now officially the monitor artist for HAMER GUITARS.
The model I got from HAMER is SATF-TBKS (Mat Black).

But, it's specially tuned.

Its specs are changed to be mostly the same with U.S.A. version except for the body.
Rear pickup is Seymour Duncan JB.
All the wirings inside are exchanged to higher quality version just like the U.S.A. version.

Namerly, IT'S A MONSTER!
--------------------------------



Here're a couple of demonstration videos of his newly obtained weapon so check out and see how it sounds!

ginjineko is now HAMER's official monitor artist!

Hey hey, guys!
I've got a GREAT exciting news today!


Are you guys familiar with the guitar manufacturer HAMER GUITARS?
http://www.hamerguitars.com/

A lot of great artists like Linkin Park, No Doubt, Aerosmith, Judas Priest and Cheap Trick are their users.
http://www.hamerguitars.com/?fa=artists

And now, ginjineko is the official monitor artist for Japanese line of HAMER XT series!
Can you guys believe this???
He's already got the specially tuned model from NAKAO CORPORATION, which is the importer for HAMER guitars in Japan and soon will release a review video on YouTube.

According to ginjineko, who's been playing his newly obtained HAMER guitar for about a week now, the touch-and-feel is very close to his Gibson Les Paul and he loves it already.
He'll still continue to use his Gibson, but I think you'll start seeing him rocking his new weapon more often from now on.


I heard that there are more surprises regarding this, so please stick with us and we'll let you know as soon as more info is available!


Cheers!

I guess there's nothing I need to say.
