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 @.@).

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

Way Overdue Update

It's been a long time since I've last updated because it's now midterm time at school. @.@

Updates:
- My 3rd video has been up on Youtube for a while. It's C-ute's latest single "Dance de Bakoon!".
- 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.
If you want to check out the latest videos I've watched and liked, then check out my Twitter.
Check out my fanpage for updates on new videos or subscribe to me on Youtube.

That's all for now. I hope to post more videos to get more likes and hopefully hit 1000.

Downs and Ups: My Week So Far

So I've been quite busy this week with killer hours at work. I was scheduled 3 days this week between 7-8 hours per shift. Unfortunately, my shift was scheduled tomorrow, which is also the same day as the Jpop/Kpop party held by Jump Start Club and was also suppose to be the place to gather more fans. Because I can't attend (and I really can't because my shift ends at 11pm @.@), I'll just have to work harder and try to get more videos out.

My 3rd video will be recorded soon. Sorry for the delay if you've been following and keeping up with me. >.< Remember, you can always send me suggestions and leave them in the comments section or post it in the discussion section of my fanpage.

On the upside, I got to see a few more people from my summer Japanese class. I met one of my classmates who is trying to get me fans for JSI (thank you so much :D). I also met my Japanese teacher and I felt so.. so.. lost for words because I haven't been practicing my Japanese, so I wasn't able to respond to her back in Japanese. >.< It just gives me more reason to review a bit, so that I don't lose what I learned forever. Gambarimasu!
