Hi, everyone. It's been a while. This is Take the sax player and Noriko's promoter.
As you may know from the news reports, MP3.com has been bought by CNET Networks, Inc. The entire contents of MP3.com will be erased after 12:00 p.m. PST on December 2, 2003, including, of course, all of Noriko's and my tunes. It's really sad, but anyway, I'd like to thank you all once again for listening to our tunes until now. There's still a little more than a week until the site shuts down. If you're in the mood, please download and play our tunes one last time from: http://mp3.com/noriko http://mp3.com/take As of November 18, Noriko's "Dancing in the Moonlight" is still ranked second on the Bossa Nova charts. Also as of November 18, Take's "Precious" is ranked among the top 40 on the Smooth Jazz charts. Some of Noriko's tunes uploaded on MP3.com are included in the CD titled "Love Potions". You can buy the CD at Amazon.com: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/stores/ detail/-/music/B00004SYW5/glance/103-3865368-7400635 I'm thinking of a way to make our tracks available on some other site after MP3.com shuts down. I'll notify you as soon as something concrete comes up. Till then, we would be happy if you could check us out at the below sites: http://www.noriko-music.com/ http://homepage2.nifty.com/latinjazz/e/ Here's a message from Noriko. It's pretty sad to find out that MP3.com is stopping their service. Over the years, I've had so much exposure through them and millions of people got to hear my music.�@I met different artists through this site and got to collaborate on songs. And I thank all of you for being part of that. I guess my journey continues without MP3.com anyway. I will keep writing and may send you e-mail to let you know what's up. Wish you all the best and hope to talk to you soon. Love, Noriko It's really been a surprising series of events, but I'll keep in touch. Thank you all.	Noriko Take
Thanks as usual for your kind attention.
