Each CD is released with a small series of hand-made limited editions which include found antique Japanese objects.
As for John Pod:
I'm usually cleaning up after my countless , little babies . Especially my kinkajou , Momo.
Or taking photos .
Or collecting expensive paper .
Or teaching English .
Or buying a CD or LP or 7" almost every single day .
