Speaking on his motivation to move on, he said "I think it got a lot easier when I realised that no matter what I do, it's not going to be ''Continuum'', good or bad. And then that became really liberating."〔Taylor, Mick (May 21, 2010), ("John Mayer interview" ). ''Music Radar''. March 29, 2015.〕 On October 1, 2009, Mayer posted via Twitter: "Track listing on ''Battle Studies'' is complete! Very interesting order... 11 songs. 45 minutes. Hit 'em hard and get out."〔()〕 The album was leaked just hours before Mayer was scheduled to perform an official "radio leak" on 103.7 Sophie in San Diego.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Try JM – A collection of news and notes about John Mayer " Maintenance Mode )〕 However, Mayer gave his listeners permission to download the leak, as long as they "registered" their copies by ordering the album.〔()〕 Mayer's 2010 Battle Studies World Tour began on February 4, 2010 in Sunrise, Florida at the BB&T Center, and ended on October 1, 2010 in Manila, Philippines, at SM Mall of Asia. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Battle Studies (album)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
