Written and produced by prolific music producer TSUNKU♂, this "3-2-1
Breakin' Out!" will appear on all Anime Expo® 2009 media campaigns. "Hello,
How do you do? I am TSUNKU♂!", states  the legendary producer, writer and
musician, "I am a producer of MORNING MUSUME。I am happy to hear that there
are many anime fans in America. I think Anime culture is universal and I'm
glad to hear American people are so into it. I believe good anime remains a
masterpiece forever.  At the same time, there is a very important element:
music. I think music is a universal language, and music should be enjoyable
from generation to generation.  I am proud that MORNING MUSUME。has made the
theme song for Anime Expo® 2009. The concept of this song is positive power
even during hard times. I wrote this song just for Anime Expo® 2009. I
imagined everybody's smile when I wrote it, and I'm looking forward to
seeing you guys at the MORNING MUSUME。concert. I hope new great energy will
be born at the convention from this collaboration between Japanese and US
culture, and that it will last into the future."

A :30 second preview sample of this song will be available on the Anime
Expo® 2009 website and on JapanFiles.com's MySpace page
