Hey all,

Just wanted to wish u a Merry Xmas and a Happy New Year 2015! Thx for being a part of this site/community this year, I hope to see you around campus next year! It's been a great pleasure being your teacher here at ArtistWorks and I've seen many of you improve a lot during the past year!

I spent X-mas eve in Sweden and received some great news from Japan. The new Tohoshinki-album "WITH" incl my co-write "Special One", ended up at Nr 1 on the weekly Japanese album chart Oricon with around 233 000 sold physical albums. It means that it will probably reach platinum status this week. On "Special one" I play all the funky guitars and at the end of the song I play a fusion inspired solo with a few interesting runs...check it out!

Also, Girls Generation released their live DVD from the 3rd Japanese tour and I have 5 of my songs on this release. The DVD is currently Nr 2 on the DVD and the BluRay charts in Japan. 

Looking forward to a new year, wishing u all the best!

Regards Andreas
