Going back to the start...!

So, I usually keep this kind of stuff to myself and write it down in a private diary or something, but... I feel like I should do this publicly.

Seeing as it has a lot to do with the reason why I've stuck with YouTube for over 3 years (officially 4 years in December) now.

Is that what you would call it? lolol

My Cosplay Story

The Real Problem with Sexy Cosplay

I recently saw a video by Ardelle Cosplay on the issue of societal views on cosplay, and how one can help change the paradigm of cosplay as viewed by non-cosplayers. She also discouraged resentment and the bringing-down of other cosplayers.

That got me thinking about my own experience thus far as a cosplayer.

Album Release Date Change + Upcoming Projects!

Hey guys! Long time, no talk~ 8D

If you follow me on Facebook, Twitter and Google+, you would've seen that I made an announcement about the album release.

My debut indie utattemita album, "The People's Warmth", was set for release on February 14th. The thing is, I can't get that done in time. If I want to release on February 14th, LOUDR.fm requires me to submit ALL cover tracks in by AT LEAST January 14th to make sure that all copyrights are passed by the original producers. I wanted to stay a bit extra safe concerning the approval period, so I made my personal deadline January 10th.

That is literally tomorrow, and because of life and house renovations and other shet, I only got one track done, and I'm seriously considering revamping the entire playlist again.

THE NEW RELEASE DATE is MARCH 10th, 2014! 


For those who were looking forward to the album, sorry for the delay! ; A;'' I want to give you guys something REALLY GOOD, not half-assed. OTL So, even if it's a bit longer, I'm going to work hard to make it worth the wait! > 3<)// <3

If you just found out about the album now, I'll be uploading all changes to the playlist later this week here and on my Facebook page and Twitter.

IN OTHER NEWS, I have a LOT of upcoming projects planned, and I thought that maybe I should probably write them down somewhere I can remind myself and not forget about it. OTL

"Gomen ne, iiko ja irarenai" - Miku Sawai [Kill la Kill ED] (english dub?)

"Heartful Message" - 19's Sound Factory (english dub)

"Fourty-Seven" - Mikito-P [Sarishinohara sequel] (english dub)




Work hard and have fun, guys! <3

The Significance of Letters versus Texts

In this world of instant messages and preset fonts, it seems that anything written down appears insignificant to the human soul these days.

Even more alarmingly... people focus so much time on sending instant letters to each other that they forget how to read basic facial and body expressions.

As someone studying Psychology... that terrifies me.

The People's Warmth - *ageha Debut Indie Release - 1st Utattemita Album

THE DAY HAS FINALLY COME.

I'M RELEASING AN UTATTEMITA ALBUM. * A *

A few months ago, I saw Pokemon Reorchestrated, one of my FAVOURITE fan composers of all time, post a link to his Kanto Region album on Facebook... on a new site.

This site is LOUDR, and it's designed specifically for cover artists that want to make a living off of their derivative works. The site's team contacts the original composers, obtains permission, and decides on loyalty payments to help make BOTH sides of the party earn money from BOTH of their works.

At the time, the site was still in Beta, and not available to the public. However, just recently, the site made its public debut and invited mailing-listed musicians to join their roster.

I'll be joining them with my first acoustic-English cover utattemita album.

For those of you who are new to the concept of utattemita or any of the -ttemitas, allow me to explain.

utattemita is Japanese for "I tried to sing". Traditionally, on the Japanese video sharing site, NicoNicoDouga, anything uploaded into this category on the site presented amateur covers done by faceless - but named - musicians of already-existing songs.

When the Vocaloid producer community hit its peak in 2007 with producers like ryo(supercell/EGOIST), Hachiouji-P, and kz(livetune), the amateur singers of utattemita videos were also given a platform to perform these songs that were originally performed by vocal synthesizers. Many have gone on to major labels such as UMAA and Sony Music, but there are a handful that preferred to stick to the online indie Vocaloid music scene.

Please check out the set list and release dates below!

UNPLUGGED @ KLIP x MiniComi Cosplay Fashion Show!

Hi guys! Making another concert announcement this time! 8D

My band, Ryouko, will be having another show at the upcoming KLIP x MiniComi Cosplay Fashion Show at K-Fever Karaoke in Richmond at 6:30pm! Doors will open at 5:30pm, so be sure to get there early and get settled down! >w<

But, Ryouko's not the only one doing a performance for this one...

I'll also be doing a solo, 15-minute, unplugged/acoustic set at the event as well. o u o

To be quite honest, I'm kind of nervous, because it's been a while since I've done a solo live show with my guitar. OTL I'll do my best!

The playlists for both the Ryouko set and the solo set are going to be a surprise! >w<

Hope to see you guys there! <3
