Yatta!

This song means the world to my wife & I. For those who attended our wedding, you can find it as the Bonus Track on our wedding CD.

It means so much to us for a lot of reasons, but mostly because of our lucky, blessed, deep and meaningful friendship with Renfield & Hiroko (and now Chikage!) They -- unquestionably -- were the best thing to come out of my time in Japan. So... Enjoy:

TONCHAN!

all hail, Chikage "Tonchan" Kuroda was born on December 11, 2006. Mom Hiroko, Dad Renfield and "The God Daughter of The Guzilla" are all doing very well. Check out photos here.
