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. ^_^"

Video Games Live!

Last Saturday (April 30th), I went to Video Games Live! This is the 2nd time they've come to Montreal after about 2-3 years. Tommy Tallarico said: "What took us so long to come back here?!" (that's what everyone's thinking). He also mentions that "in every interview about VGL, I say that Montreal is the loudest crowd in North America". Tommy knows how to make us feel special. :3

This is my 2nd time going to VGL and it was in a much larger venue this time. I was on the ground floor in row L near the middle of my row. Despite being the 12th row from the front, I had a great view and enjoyed the show a lot.

The first time they came to Montreal, Tommy was on stage in a cardboard box (MGS anyone?). This time, he just walked out on stage with his awesome guitar. They started out with the old school games medley. My favourite part is the bleeps and bloops of Pong. XD Tommy also mentions that the orchestra playing was Medici McGill. I felt so special because I go to McGill and I've heard them play before (well, in the medical building's cafeteria while I was busy writing a midterm in the auditorium next door ^_^"). Tommy also mentioned that the choir was a bunch of "local" people. I'm local! *pout*

(*Note: The following list of things I mention are not in the order they were performed unless clearly indicated.)

Starting over with a revamp!

Hey everyone!

I just finished my exams yesterday and it's about time that I do some updating. As you can see, I changed up my blog a bit, but it's still missing some things.

So here's a question for you:
What would you like to see on my blog? (a.k.a. What would make you come back and check out my blog again and again?)

I'm also planning to do an introduction + starting over video. So if there are any questions you would like me to answer, please post a comment below.

I'm also creating a new fanpage for myself because I can't change the title of my current fanpage due to having over 100 likes. ^_^" If you have a request, feel free to post a comment about it below. :D

~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).

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
