Ryu Black Album Delay
"Chotto omachi kudasai" is japanese for politely asking someone to "please wait for a moment"
Similar to the many artists that came before me, we have to mention, in FULL detail that the Ryu Black Musical will have a small delay in being released. The original release date of 1-11-2011 has been pushed back to 5-17-2011.
MeccaGodZilla's tour in Tokyo this past November was highly successful and he was able to shoot 3 Hi-Def videos including a video for the upcoming Ryu Black musical featuring Taiwanese dancer/choreographer Ruby Red. We flew her over to guest star in some videos with Ryu Black(MeccaGodZilla). The time he spent in Tokyo touring and getting the word out was so necessary in cross promotion, however we are genuinely sorry about the timing and delays because without fan support this truly is not even possible.
(ruby red and ryu black filming at armani exchange tokyo)
The album title "Perfect 天" is a huge responsibility to live up to because of the word "天 (Heaven)" and the idea of what Heaven really is. In order to give you the best of our best, Team Manafest has been sending ideas back and forth on different approaches to the album’s overall sound. We came to a conclusion prior to Christmas but then came Christmas and the holidays. We decided to delay the release to really make sure the sound is 1000% perfect, spark the global promotion and make sure that all of the packaging and gifts are impeccable. We realized if we rushed to make this upcoming release date we might just forget some of the most important steps for making the Ryu Black Musical "Perfect"
If you have any questions or concerns please feel free to contact us.
peace and love
Team Manafest

The 1st time I met Ruby Red
Via MeccaGodZilla:
"I picked Ruby Red up from Narita Airport..sigh.. somehow my timing was off so I was late...as I arrived by bus I could see Ruby standing at a bus stop far away..waiting to get on a bus back to Tokyo... I had to hurry. I flew off my bus to meet her
Standing almost 5 feet tall, extremely powerful eyes...she teased about being a "hobbit" haha
NO SHE DIDN'T. She did get at me a tiny bit for being late... but we quickly starting building on the 1.5 hour bus ride back to Tokyo.
Ruby was a speedskater...thus the powerful looking thighs, she's an athlete, played all sports and was really competitive in Tae Kwon Do...
She's also read Malcolm, watched Shaka Zulu, & Roots. She schooled me more on her indigenous peoples and the tribe she's from in Taiwan. Really.... Taiwan has Aboriginees and tribes? Yes & she speaks chinese too hehe... the Natives of Taiwan, from what she showed me, look like the native americans from North America....
This was the start of such a dope bond between me and Ruby... more coming soon
(Ruby Red teasing about her "chicken hat" ...it kept her warm though... i wanna get one!)
It's amazing the similarities between her people and the other indigenous folks from all over the world. Although Ruby is Taiwanese she knows well what blacks and other natives go through. There was so much unspoken energy I just knew she knew well what it's like to walk through my shoes and she taught me a little bit about what it's like to walk through her shoes. Ruby is a tough, tough young woman. Respect!
peace 4 now
