They say Lion Musashi shook the Daibako scene with rave as an old friend of [[Reo Nagumo|tiger YAMATO]]'s, but it looks like he's an accomplished house tracker nowadays who does some DJ work in western Azabu.<br>

I got some comments from him today.

"Thank you, everyone.<br>

Oh, everyone keeps saying, "Safari, Safari", but my song is called "THE Safari", so say it right, please.<br>

Apparently, Lion Musashi came to dj TAKA and said, "You guys should pick the song name". Somehow it fell into my hands.<br>

According to dj TAKA, Mr. Lion is kind of a scary guy, so even if he says we can pick the name, what will happen if he doesn't like it ... ?<br>

That's the kind of thing I worried about, since I had no real relation to him ...

It has a pretty cheery rhythm, and feels kind of like a song for a trip down south and evoked the image of a long journey, so I thought "THE SAFARI", which has kind of a deep ring to it, fit it pretty nicely. From the sounds of the comments above, it seems he really likes it too - I'm glad!

It'd be nice if dj TAKA said "thanks", though.
