Recent Anime Song Covers: Otome Game Style

My recent song covers have all been the opening songs of animes that are based on otome games. ^_^" So far, I have covered Hakuoki and Amnesia, and I have at least two more songs planned. Can you guess from which series? ;)

Hakuoki OP - "Izayoi Namida" by Yoshioka Aika

I reviewed 5 out of the 6 characters in "Hakuoki: Demon of the Fleeting Blossom" game, so I was excited to watch the anime and see whose path the anime will focus on. Surprisingly, the anime seems to be going down everyone's path, but with slightly more focus on Hijikata's. (I will blog about Hijikata's story in the game eventually, so please wait a bit longer for those who have been reading them.) I have yet to watch the second season of the anime, but the anime seems to combine all the games together as there are scenes that are not in "Demon of the Fleeting Blossom," but actually in the fandisk called "Hakuoki ~Zuisouroku~" where you can see extra CGs and even side routes that you do not have a chance to see in the main game.

Merry Christmas & Happy Holidays!

Hi everyone,

It's been too long since I last updated my blog, but I've been really busy with school and I only finished my exams a few days ago. ^_^" I've been recuperating from lack of sleep since then and this year, I wanted to make sure that I posted a Christmas video for Christmas and not after like I did last year.

So here is my Christmas video/present to you all. Please enjoy!

JUICY HE@RT~

Hello hello~

It's been way too long since my last cover. @.@ I've been busy with work, coaching, and Otakuthon stuff in general. Also, I have a really bad habit of jumping from song to song and I now have a super long list of songs to cover. ^_^"

My cover of JUICY HE@RT by Buono! Enjoy! :)

Majide suka ska! + New fanpage

Hey everyone!

I've finally done a new video after all these months. >.< It's my first Momusu cover and I hope to do more covers from other H!P groups. Enjoy!

What I uploaded was my 10th and last take. I had only done the dance completely 3 times before and the rest of the time, I messed up somewhere in the middle.

As you can tell from the pic, I was so sweaty from doing this dance so many times that I had to get a towel to wipe myself off. ^_^"

~Rinbu Revolution~

Hi hi~

After a good month, I have finally posted a new video! Yay!



I had lots of fun with this one. I loved singing all funky (not sure how to describe it any other way ^_^") with the music. I had some difficulty at some points where the rhythm was really fast or had slow accentuations, so I had to redo those parts a couple of times. Just because I've listened to this song 100s of times, doesn't mean my mouth knew how to sing it perfectly. @.@

Anime Song Cover Time~

Hello~

School has already started and my audition for JSI is in less than a week. So I decided to do anime song covers for 2 reasons:
1) It's faster to get one done versus my singing and dancing videos
2) There are a lot of songs that I like and would have loved to do for my audition. Since I've already chosen my audition song, I might as well cover the others for your enjoyment and for my satisfaction that I have not left these behind.

The first one is "Scarlet" from the anime, Ayashi no Ceres. I have not read the manga, so if you have and think that it's worth a read, leave a comment.



I hope you enjoy listening to it. :D

Vocaloid~

I'm finally back with a new video! Yay! :D

So this time I sang Fake or Fate by Megurine Luka. I thought the song was cool and mysterious, which is pretty much what I think of Luka. However, I don't think my vocal range suits Luka though, since her voice is a lot lower (although the original of this song was definitely not like that). I'll probably try a Hatsune Miku song in the future. If you have any suggestions, feel free to let me know.



As you can see from the video, I asked a friend to draw the illustration. I really like the look of it. It's much lighter and airy versus the original PV, but you still have that dirty dusty effect. I requested that Luka be crying because the PV made no sense when she was smiling and her dress is ripped everywhere. @.@ So please check out Duofan's deviantart and Youtube channel (links are in the description box of my Youtube video).

Jump Start Idol Update!

Aitai no ni~ Merry Christmas to you~

It's been awhile, but a new blog post = a new video! :D

I have been practicing this song for awhile, but between exams and holiday parties and events, it was hard to get this recording out. I wish I got it out on Christmas, but at least I got in the week of Christmas, New Years and of course, Boxing Day!



A key point to notice in this video is the wrist movement I do. If you check the dance shot of this song, Mai is the only one that does this wrist movement. I thought it was pretty cool that it made that particular dance move 10x more interesting than just simply bringing my arm towards me.

Some parts of the song, I was on auto-pilot. ^_^" Especially during Maimi's solo part, instead of actually doing her particular solo, I ended up doing the chorus movements all over again. When I realized this, I wanted to record the song all over again, until I noticed that my camera died. -__- Oh well.

This video is so far the best, but it could be better (of course). Don't worry, I've got an awesome song to do next. :D

New Video: Cute This Time?

Hello! Hi! :D

As you can tell from the title, I have a new video up today. Yay! It's on the cute side this time, so I hope you'll all like it. At the very least, it shows that I can do other kinds of songs. It's not a live version since I want to focus more on my voice and get comments on it. If I were to do a live version, I would definitely need the dress in the PV. The dress change part is always exciting to watch and it happens in almost a split second too! So go check out my Youtube page for the new video and don't be shy to leave comments.

Some of you may have noticed my poll that was running last month and with an amazing number of 3 votes, it was unanimous that I should make more videos. I figured that was the case. @.@ But I'm not giving up and I know I have to work hard if I want to get anywhere in life. Expect more surprise videos in hopes of getting more people to become a fan.

Jump Start Idol Update: I have just over 100 likes on my fanpage (that's just over 10%). But time is running out and I'm not sure how I'll get almost 900 people to press the "like" button within less than 3 months. >.< I really need your help! Tell your friends to press that button in support of helping someone reach their dream. I honestly can't do it alone. I would like to thank everyone who has pressed the button so far. I'm really grateful that I have so many people supporting me so far and I hope I won't disappoint.
