The 49ers Climb The Japanese Charts Once Again

The 49ers are featured on “In Your Mellow Tone Official Bootleg Vol. 1″ mixed by Japanese producers Re:Plus. Today the album has reached #2 on Japan’s iTunes Top 10 list of Hip-Hop albums. In addition, the song featured on the album, Imagine produced by Re:plus, is currently #6 on Japan’s iTunes Top 10 Hip-Hop songs. 

Imagine was recorded while The 49ers were on tour in Japan last summer. They met Re:plus at the Noah Sound Studio in Shibuya and had instant chemistry. Jas Mace remembers the day they recorded the song, “I was writing my verse right before we left for the studio. We were in the hotel room overlooking the Asahi Beer Tower in Asakusa and the river that flows right below. I just thought how privileged and honored I was to be in Japan, writing that song for Re:plus’ album. It was a beautiful view and great experience.”

Jas Mace also recalls another memorable moment while recording the song, “It was great working with Re:plus. They are such talented producers. It’s funny though, I remember recording the song and there was a punk band in the room next to us going crazy on the drums. It was something like I have never heard before. The drummer was wailing away keeping perfect tempo for at least 30 minutes, non-stop. We peaked over the window and was amazed to see a female punk band practicing for one of their upcoming gigs. Man, I wish I had the number of that drummer. A 49ers collaboration with her would be great! haha.“

In addition to “In Your Mellow Tone Official Bootleg Vol. 1″ charting as the #2 Japanese iTunes album, The 49ers are featured on 3 additional albums currently on iTunes Top 100 list. We would like to thank all of you for your love and support!

The 49ers are featured in Delware’s most prominent magazine – Delaware Today

Delaware Today, a magazine that features high profile Delawareans, will run a feature on the  Delaware music scene. The upcoming article will feature The 49ers. When Marchitect was asked how he was contacted by Delaware Today he replied, “Actually they sent a reporter, to my monthly event The Groovelounge. I think he must’ve gotten that feeling one gets when they see Hip-Hop in its purest form. I dont care who you are, when you see any of the elements of Hip-Hop done well, whether its rap, breakdancing, djaying, graffitti, its going to have an impact on you.” Marchitect went on to say, “I also think it’s very cool, to be acknowledged for your efforts. The Duponts are on the front of their website right now, so I can say we are reaching new markets.”  Look for The 49ers in Delaware Today.

Jas Mace At Akiko Yano’s Show In NYC.

I decided to take time off of recording and visit Akiko Yano in NYC at Le Poisson. She performed on the piano and was accompanied by a guitarist. It was a great show. Afterwards I got to talk to her for a few minutes before everyone rushed her for autographs and photos. I just missed Hirai Ken as he was also at Le Poisson enjoying the show.
