In 2005, Moran began to work exclusively with Japanese-born dancer '''Saori Tsukada''', who in numerous reviews was described as a performer of unusual precision and stage presence. After seeing Tsukada from a distance on the street one afternoon, the composer knew the two strangers were "meant" to work together, and waited for her to return during a power outage in 2003.

This seems to have marked a shift in subject matter for Moran, who then began to appear in his works as himself, often telling highly personal stories about his bizarre life, and describing (in artistic terms) an "obsession" with his then next-door-neighbor, Tsukada.

In numerous articles Tsukada has been described as Moran's "muse". In Tsukada's description, "If I am the disciplined Japanese girl, then he is the picture of what people think of as a tortured artist.". Their collaborations, under the title ''John Moran...and his neighbor, Saori'' seemed to see immediate critical success.
