'Slow Down' has been among the most played songs all month in Japanese FM radio (Tokyo and Kansai), but Wednesday this week (26 October) I was also ranked the second most played artist, regardless of song! Only Hall & Oates had more plays.

Interviewed by SVT - Swedish national TV!
The news of the heavy airplay in Japan reached Sweden yesterday as I was called up and interviewed by Kulturnyheterna, the daily program for culture news in Swedish national TV (SVT). Because the sound quality of the phone was too bad, it resulted in an article on their website. Most Swedish newspapers posted the news online last night too.
