– The last album turned 10 years old today. I listened through the album after a long time. It was a good feeling and good memories, Tiihonen writes.
At the same time, Tiihonen praises RZY, ie Antti Riihimäki great cooperation.
– In connection with this birthday, the ownership of the three defective discs was transferred 100% to myself. This is a meaningful thing for me, Tiihonen reveals.
The record company Warner Music also celebrated on Instagram anniversary of that album. In its publications, the record company recalled how the Alpha Omega album made history by being the first album to reach all 1-10 positions on the Finnish Spotify Top 50 list.

– I’ve often been good at predicting things and even hoped that Musa would stay alive, but I never would have guessed that the gang still listens so much. Thank you, it has felt good, Tiihonen says in the video.
In November 2017, Cheek announced that he was ending his music career and ended it at a farewell concert in Lahti’s Mäkimontu in August 2018.

Tiihonen’s story has been of interest even years after ending his music career. Tiihonen and Oskari Saare’s book JHT – Mission or peace of mind (WSOY) was released in September.
The book broke records in its publication week. The audiobook version of the work is by far the most non-fiction book started during the first week of publication in the entire ten-year history of Bookbeat.
