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).

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

Only Dancing This Time Around

A new blog post means... that I have posted a new video again!

My video is purely dancing this time. I really want to try all sorts of videos to attract more people. The video is pretty short, but if there are people that like it, then I'll definitely keep doing dancing-only videos.

Here's the link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dT-_iSrJoao

If you're wondering, yes the choreography is almost exactly identical to the real dance that Britney does in her music video (I say "almost" because the MV doesn't show the entire dance). I learned it off a tutorial on Youtube.

Jump Start Idol Update: I'm at 113 "likes" so far, and I need 887 more.

I know I have not exhausted all the possible videos I could do, but I'm definitely running out of time (just about 2 months left). I'm going to keep trying all sorts of videos this month, and then I'll pursue videos that seem more likely to be a hit. Comments and suggestions are greatly appreciated! :)

Surprise Video!

Hello again! :)

I just uploaded a new video, but I'm really embarrassed about it. *face is all red*

Here's the link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WHXquqa7wzE

So, I'm playing the ocarina this time and doing some talking. I'm not extremely good with wind instruments (I was barely able to play the clarinet in high school, and it was the only instrument I was allowed to play, since I did much worse with the flute, trombone and trumpet @.@). I'm also kind of shy when I talk, so listening to myself talk is super embarrassing. *hides underneath a blanket* I hope you'll find the video entertaining at least. >.<

I'm trying all sorts of videos to get more people to press the "like" button on my fanpage. If you have any suggestions, please put them in the comments section below.

Thanks to everyone who has given me support so far, and I'll keep trying my best towards reaching 1000.

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.

New Video! Surprise Cover!

Yes, I have a new video up! I'm so happy (and it's been so long too @.@).

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WjVv7xYtLE0

It's a piano cover this time from one of my favorite animes: Tiny Snow Fairy Sugar. If you have not seen this series, you are missing out. I would think that most people would be surprised that I'm doing something other than singing and dancing in a video (but unless you knew I played the piano, then you might have seen this one coming). I've got quite a few surprise covers under my sleeve, so keep on the look out for them!

<3 :D X3

- I quit my part-time job to allow for more study time (university is not easy).
- I'm working on more covers and hope to have them up on Youtube in the next week or two.
- I've reached 92 likes on my fanpage. I still have 908 more to go, so please spread the word and help me get 1000 likes so I can become a Jump Start Idol!

If you have any questions, don't be shy to ask them at Formspring and Ask.fm.
