Love Live! Cosplay @ AX2015

Ayyy, finally catching up on my Anime Expo posts!

Chiisana and I attended the con one day as Wonderful Rush ver. Kotori and Umi from the franchise that now owns our lives, Love Live!......
Despite having started working on them, we ended up buying the cosplay so that we could spend our time working on other costumes not so readily purchasable. We dyed our shoelaces though :D!

A cute little memory from that day: when we were crossing the street together, these two girls as they were passing us suddenly went, "3.. 2.. 1... HAI HAI! SUSUME! MADA MADA LET'S GO!" and jumped in the air.
And it took a bit for it to register to us what happened. "Wait........ that was at us, right?" "They were singing Wonderful Rush so .. that was probably... to us....." (we look back and they have already disappeared into the crowd)

Also we made these poses whenever people asked us for pictures. We practiced them for like 2 minutes in the hotel before leaving when we realized we didn't know how to pose..... Sooo awkward tbh.. We just tried to follow the picture..

I wish I could show Chiisana's whole face online because she's flippin' adorable?! But I did get permission to show this picture with her pretty falsies. She's the cutest Kotori is2g ugh

A stranger came up to us with this bird!Kotori plushie and requested a picture HAHAHA

And me with the most awkward Umi wig that I still need to work more on. We didn't take enough pictures that day....

My other AX cosplay post I'll do tomorrow~ Good niightt

2016 New Year's Resolutions

100 IS SO MUCH THOUGH.
-me every year

2015 Resolutions Review

UHHHHHHHHHHHHH LOL.
Every year I write down 100 "resolutions" and then do a review of how I feel like I've fulfilled them.
2015 was a really weird year where I feel like my condition kept undulating more than usual—one day I'm more confident than ever, then the next I feel like I'm not capable of anything. I mean, it was a huge transition year for me so I guess it might make sense that I was so unstable?? Things change so much that I forget what was 2015 and what was 2014, and when I reread my blog entries from earlier in the year I CANNOT EVEN RECOGNIZE MYSELF. Plus, my memory has gotten progressively worse. Everything feels so mixed up to me that when reviewing my resolutions, I'm most likely going to only be able to refer to what I might remember from the past, like... week.
This is really not going to be a very accurate yearly review lol oops....

I guess 2015 was a big year for me???? So much happened that it feels like it's been a couple of years LOL!

So the first half of 2015 was my last semester of college....... and I apparently interned at a cable TV studio— WTF THIS WAS ONLY LAST YEAR? Anyway, from what I can remember, it was a crazy busy and stressful semester. I also volunteered at a film festival. And continued to work. And did not know what to do with myself in the future. I ended with a 3.93 GPA in school. And then I fainted one day while operating a camera in a studio taping lmao.
Then I graduated from university!
I was planning to take a break until 2016 before looking for a full time job.. (Not entirely a break since I was gonna continue with my part time accounting job that I've been at for 4.5 years..)
And then my professor referred me to a part time job for a corporate video production company, so I've been doing both jobs until now and it's already become kind of routine... In this time, I've been handling audio or working as production assistant on shoots for videos for big corporate companies, editing videos, and even went on my first business trip.
O-oh, and then in December, I went on my very first trip to Asia. Actually, I traveled to a lot of places!!

............ wow I suck.
I'll do my best to remember what happened last year....

Congrats on birth

The series of birthday presents for Chiisana continued back in June. :> This one is my solo!
See: (1) O.K; (2) SPiCa acoustic


【Cover】 Nishino Kana - Best Friend 【Eva】 

Many thanks go out to Fome and Dibur—who mixed and created the instrumental, respectively—for I couldn't have completed this without them.♥ I'm blessed to have such amazing and talented friends..! ;^;

..Like that one girl Chiisana/小さな. I guess this is for her.
(http://www.youtube.com/ChiisanaChanx3 ← I highly recommend subscribing to her since she's got the most beautiful voice!! We also have another duet in the works that will be up on her channel ;D)

This present is late for your birthday, but a thank you to you requires no occasion. I can't believe it's been 8 years already since we met through singing anime covers on youtube LOL! And you've supported me throughout the entire journey so far, while being the most inspirational, talented, and kindhearted person I know. Thank you and I look forward to the rest of our lives, my dear best friend ♥♥♥

Mix: Fome (http://www.youtube.com/fome)
Instrumental: Dibur (http://www.youtube.com/diburmakesmusic)

ALSO HOLY SHIT this video looks /super narcissistic/ when one person doesn't like showing her face online LMAO.. Please forgive me for that!! Who is Chiisana??? this video is for Rock-kun

For You ♥ Cover

I FINISHED AND UPLOADED A COVER!!!! ^___^ My first full song solo and first K-pop (that Let It Go doesn't count man) solo since "Tonight" which was in December 2013!!

falls over.

crawls to bed . .

please enjoy!



【Cover】 Lovelyz - For You (그대에게) 【Eva】 

Criiiinging @ myself, but I'm a huge Lovelyz fan and this song (ok the group too) owns my soul. ;u; Such an uplifting and meaningful message!! Please support them and check out the gorgeous original MV too~ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hyKBa3RNo4M

MP3 of my cover: http://bit.ly/1MXNw0E
The video is just me filming myself being dumb on a beach. :'D Continuity is not a thing and neither is grace.

Many thanks to Fome for teaching me most of the harmonies! And to Kazou for shipping a package to my house which gave me a box to film with LOLOL. (Let's just pretend that's the right album because my copy of Lovelinus hadn't arrived at the time..)

All vocals belong to me—except for the bgm around 2:37, which is the only part I haven't found a clean, official instrumental for yet. ;_; When I find it, I'll update my mix MP3!
Feel free if you'd like to use the instrumental I edited together~ You can dl it here: http://bit.ly/1OU7t9W

Thank you for listening! Keep your head up. You'll be just fine, friend. ^^

[Fan Account] Apink Concert in San Francisco

Today I had the honor of attending Apink's concert in San Francisco for their North American tour, Pink MEMORY!! ^^ I'm exhausted now, but I had a blast at the show.

I'll be posting all about the experience I had~
There may be some "well, duh" things though because I went in not having read about anything from previous legs of the tour, and I also haven't watched all of Apink's shows so I'm not an expert on their personalities?
