First PV!!
I'm happy to announce that I have recently completed, and just now uploaded Full Circle's very first music video~!! After releasing the song itself on MySpace and Facebook, and seeing that it received some lovely comments and positive reactions, I felt motivated to start a music video project! I figured it was time to finally use some of the motion design skills I've picked up over the years... I hope that it's paid off! Although the rotoscoping animation and motion graphics were created solely by myself, I couldn't have done it without the help of various motion graphics experts who provided useful After Effects video tutorials, tips and tricks, not to mention the other sources that offered a couple of the vectors (slightly modified, of course) that appear throughout the video: Aetuts+, Creative COW, Video Copilot's Andrew Kramer, Premium PSD, Keep Designing (love those clouds!), Ars Grafik, ffyunie on deviantArt, and Vecteezy. If there are any sources I forgot to name, sorry!
Anyway, please check out the video, give some feedback, and feel free to share the link with your friends~ Thanks!

iTunes Japan Debut~!
It's been a while! After another months-long hiatus from blogging, I'm glad to announce my debut on the Japanese iTunes Store~!
We were lucky enough to be asked to contribute to this compilation album, Acoustic Autumn ~ Seasoning of Songs~ , which was recorded a couple of months back. From today on, Oct 6th (Japan time), it is finally on sale on iTunes!! This album features a selection of new artists bringing a fresh voice to various Autumn-themed songs by well-known Japanese artists.
If you have access to the iTunes Japan Store, please support the first professional foray of Full Circle!! Check out Acoustic Autumn ~Seasoning of Songs~ on iTunes! Each track is ¥１５０ or you can get the entire album for only ¥６００~
Singing a cover of ORIGINAL LOVE's 「月の裏で会いましょう」 gave me my first opportunity to sing with mellow, acoustic style music, so if you check out the album and/or my contribution to it (thank you! ;D), please be gentle with me!
More new music from Full Circle will be coming at you soon~ Until next time!

Full Circle ♥ Tokyo
Wow, it's been a while! I've already been in Tokyo for over a month now (coming up on two months, actually), but this is my first blog post since arriving...! What can I say? My procrastination habits are still as present as ever.
But thankfully this doesn't extend to music! A-KICKS and I have a new Full Circle song completed~ Check out our new song Jump on the Full Circle MySpace! The song is at the bottom of the list at the moment (MySpace has some kind of bug right now, I can't change the song order!), so don't miss it!! We would love to hear some feedback for this new track, so don't be shy about commenting! ;D
Anyway, back to Tokyo! ♥ The first couple of weeks felt incredibly surreal, I think I was walking around in a starry-eyed daze. Now I think it's finally settled in that I'm here! I love this city, it's so interesting and there is so much more I want to see of it! Not to mention all the other people I still want to meet and reunite with! The 663A Tokyo (and Osaka) peeps I've connected with so far have been amazing, as always. I'm looking forward to getting some collaborations and performances going, hopefully within the next month or so!
Right now, 663A's latest party HOT JAM is going down in Toronto, and I'm sure everybody's kickin' it in UpperUpper gear!! いいな～ (I miss you guys~~!!!)
Until next time!

New Track!!
Our newest Full Circle track is now available over at the Full Circle MySpace! This track had its debut performance in Toronto last month at Toika Lounge (although there were some technical difficulties, so only half of the vocals could be heard) and now it's fully mastered and ready to be heard online. The song is called Don't Say Goodbye has more of an R&B feel~ Have a listen, I hope you enjoy it!! ♥

Updates!!
It's been a while since I blogged, so here are some updates! Most obvious, of course, are the changes I've made to the layout here. I'm also in the midst of revamping the look of mine and A-KICKS' MySpace pages, so look out for that to be finished soon! As of yesterday, a combined Full Circle MySpace page is now available, as well as a Fan Page on Facebook!! If you have an account with Facebook, then please head on over and become a fan! ;D
As far as music goes, new Full Circle tracks are underway, and one in particular is especially close to completion. Now that it's April, and I have just over a month until I head over to Japan, I'm starting to get really hyped about making more progress in music! We have lots of songs that are partially done at this point, so I'm betting that once I'm in Tokyo with A-KICKS we will motivate each other to get things done.
In the meantime, keep your eyes peeled for more updates here (I swear I'll actually post something), and head on over to the new 663A Blog to see what our fellow crew members are getting up to~!
Edit: Two recent collaboration tracks with DJ and emcee Dr. Peacemaker have been added to MySpace! (Nevermind that they've been finished for moooonths and were already available on his MySpace...! hahaha)

Let Your Backbone Sliiiiiiiiiide...into 2010
Happy New Year!!! I hope everyone had some great Christmas holiday and New Year celebrations!! 2009 went by pretty quickly for me, but I think it finally sunk in that the new year has begun... maybe because I just finished my first week back in classes at university haha~ So now it's time to buckle down again and get some work done!! I'm hoping I can soon extend this to recording music again as well, but for some reason sore throats and tonsillitis have been plaguing me on and off (more often than not, unfortunately) since way back in November...! In the meantime, I'll be writing lyrics and planning new songs so Full Circle's progress can stay on track~ And maybe A-KICKS will be laying down some of his vocals during this time too. ;D I really miss hearing his singing!! ♥
Anyway, as I said, the school year has begun again so projects and deadlines will be filling up the next few months... but before that happens, I think a little bit of partying is in order!! If you're in Toronto next Friday, check out this event, organized with the help of 663A!:
If you're a lover of music, dance, or downtown nightlife, come on out to Nocturne on Friday, January 15th and LET YOUR BACKBONE SLIDE! Celebrate the first month of the new year with a night of great vibes, cheap drinks, and hot music!
This event will help the graduating class of York/Sheridan Design (YSDN) to raise money for the upcoming 2010 YSDN Graduate Show. Please show your support by enjoying this all-night music party with us! DJs from Japan and Toronto will be spinning all the hottest dance music from Hip-Hop and R&B, to Electro and House, and more!
The Japanese-Canadian 663A music crew is lending a hand with this event, so expect the party to be full of hot DJs and freestyle dancing!

Double Whammy
It's flu season, the H1N1 strain is making its rounds... and this is the time of year my immune system is most susceptible, so it's no surprise that I caught the flu recently. Oh, but I'm still surprised! My body decided that one bout of influenza wasn't enough so, instead, I caught two different types. Back to back! ...This kind of thing should just not be possible. Ever. And that's all I have to say about that.
In other, more relevant news, the next 663A music performance/party is being planned out! I'll post more details here once everything is ready to be advertised, but if you're in Toronto and looking to join us then mark October 30th in your calendars~! Dr. PEACE MAKER has returned from Japan for a few months, so definitely come out to see us performing together!! :D
As always, Full Circle songs are currently in the works, so I hope to have news of new completed tracks over the next couple of months as well~ I want to start finishing songs more consistently, and there are maaany songs to finish, so wish me luck!! Things should definitely pick up again throughout fall and winter~! I'll keep you posted!

Gimme Some Suga!
...'Cause there are three new Full Circle songs up on MySpace! Suga, 光 (Hikari), and, err.. a song that is as yet untitled! While all three tracks are produced by A-KICKS (as usual ♥), they each have quite different sounds. We hope you enjoy them!!
In other news, I just noticed that MySpace increased their 6-song limit to 10 songs.... I really wish I'd noticed that before I removed three songs to make room for the new stuff! It's not a huge deal, I suppose, since I was able to add the older songs again... but now they're all at a play count of zero! Blarghargh!!! >:( Well, at least I only did it to my own MySpace... Aki's still has all the old play count statistics. :P
Anyway, the last thing I'll mention in this entry is the next (and final) Music Neighbour Music Event, hosted by 663A! (See, I really am remembering to advertise it!) It's happening in downtown Toronto on August 15th, at Nocturne Night Club, by Queen and Bathurst (550 Queen Street West). The doors open at 9pm, cover is just $5, and there are $4 drinks before 11pm! There are some awesome dancers, singers, and DJs lined up to perform, and the music will be non-stop all night! Music styles include Hip Hop, Electro, Drum n Bass, House, Reggae, Disco & Rare Groove~!
I hope lots of people can come out and enjoy the final party in the Music Neighbour series!! :D

New Full Circle Track!
Finally, a new song has been completed! Please head on over to my MySpace page and listen to "Be My Boyfriend", the new track from myself and A-KICKS~! We hope you enjoy it!!
Also, my first fully Japanese song, called "My Sweet Baby", is available on ReverbNation (or through the extra player on MySpace), along with most of the Full Circle and AOA songs that were previously featured in the main MySpace music player.
A-KICKS and I are hard at work, so more Full Circle tracks with both Japanese and English vocals will be coming your way within the next few months!!♪

663A's MUSIC NEIGHBOUR event on Saturday November 29th was great!! Lots of people turned up, and the response to all the performances was amazing. Thanks to everyone who attended and, of course, to Gim, Kumy, Issei, Mayuu, Yuko, Miri, Hitomi, and the many other people who helped to organize the event and kept people entertained that night!!♥
In other news, there are some new music-related projects in the works, which I'll elaborate on later... also,I'll soon be adding a brand new track to MySpace! Stay tuned~ :D

It's Decided!
Although I haven't been able to push completely through my music block just yet, A-KICKS and I have decided what to name ourselves!: Full Circle is our duo name! It "only" took us 6 months to think of it haha. ;D
Apart from that, AKA KOROSHIYA is over in Japan now and planning some great music projects, and A-KICKS is composing great tracks, as always... so I'm hoping some of that inspiration will trickle over to me too! The motivation is there, but I need something to kick-start it some more. Let's see where this month takes me!

I Lost My Shoes!
Okay, so they were never really my shoes... they were actually up for auction on eBay. But still! I had formed an attachment to the orange kitten heels over the last days of the auction... only to be outbid at the last minute. haha~ Truthfully, I'm not surprised; this was my first time bidding in an auction, so I'm in the minuses on the auction-savvy scale.I could go on and on about this (I actually just backspaced a paragraph elaborating on my kitten heel woes), but I'd rather get to the music stories! So! So... well, there's not too much to tell, actually. It seems that I've fallen into a creative rut in the past 2 weeks..! Hopefully I can get that sorted soon, though. I'd love to get some more tracks closer to completion! (Including a certain Japanese track...)
But, congratulations to Navarrow, AkA Koroshiya, Dr. PeaceMaker, and Shige for getting some exposure for their Sweet Girl track! And even more congratulations to A-KICKS for getting some great composing projects in Hiroshima!! Hopefully there'll be even more developments to mention soon--look out for news in the next month or so! Until then, Imma keep pushing myself~ Wish me luck. ♥

Another new track!
Last week saw some hardcore recording and mixing from both myself and from A-KICKS, and the result is a new song called "Separate Ways"! It's a more jazzy, R&B type of song, and the track was produced by the ever-talented A-KICKS (thank you sooooo much~♥♥♥!! your tracks are always amazing). Head on over to my MySpace to listen to it! We're always working on new music, so there'll definitely be some more new tracks again soon~ :D

SUNSHINE
A new track is complete! It's another eclectic house track, entitled "SUNSHINE". Please check out my Mochalicious MySpace and listen to it~ Once again, this song was composed and mastered by A-KICKS, and it sounds amazing! There is version two of this song in the works, which will include AKA's rhymes, so I'm looking forward to seeing how that goes~~!! Keep your eyes peeled, there will be more songs completed soon. :D
On another note, Dr. PeaceMaker headed back to Japan two days ago!! By now he should be having a great time with everyone there (especially Hanaaaa~!!) so I'm more excited than sad that he had to leave Toronto. (But I still cried a little at the airport.. hahah) Good luck until we meet again Hiro~!!!

がんばらなきゃ！
As the title implies, I have to try hard! I'm pretty pumped lately and feel like there's a lot to do~ First, and most of all is recording music. The mic stand I was using to record actually belongs to AKA... and now, sadly, it's almost completely fallen apart at 663A!! But it's all good. The other day I picked one up for myself from Long & McQuade. And, although I was expecting to pay upwards of $40 or $50, luckily the stand I bought was only $30. Not too shabby!
So, now that I have a stand, I've been recording all this week~! This isn't the first time I've recorded something since A-KICKS left Toronto... but this is the first time that I'm getting some good results haha! My recording attempt back in late May was, uh... well you don't want to hear it, trust me.
In any case, the first song I started to record is just about finished! So I hope I can post that here when it's completely done. My producer and I (haha) have been talking about making a Japanese version of this song too... and that would be awesome!
And in other news... the Name Game is still going! And I'm really bad at it! We totally lucked onto the name AOA for our trio with AKA-kun, but for this duo... I got nothin'. Any suggestions?

What's in a Name
Because we have quite a number of songs together (both finished and planned), and we're aiming to shop our demo around to some record companies, A-KICKS and I are currently brainstorming as to what the name of our duo should be. The songs we've done with AKA KOROSHIYA are submitted under our trio group name AOA, but for these duet tracks we want to classify them under a separate entity.
I put together lists of ideas using a few different methods:
Looking for inspiration on the internet, I found that there are a few resources that attempt to help music groups and bands in this task by providing lists of names that have been suggested by other internet users. Sounds good, right? But there was pretty much no help there. On the other hand, if I ever create a metal band...
By the way, Happy Canada Day! (or what's left of it)
I put together lists of ideas using a few different methods:
- mixing the letters of our stage names together (this turned out to be harder than I imagined...),
- combining our real names (but I'm told that DANIMITSU is ダサい)
- putting together letters from the names of music styles that we like

Limits & Laughter
So, on Wednesday I recorded a short vocal part at the end of a song that includes Dr. Peacemaker (deejay and emcee) and AKA KOROSHIYA, as well as two other performers. I figured that it's been almost a week since my voice came back, and I haven't really been coughing so I should be good to go... but while recording, I discovered that my vocal range isn't the same!! I can't get some of those high notes that I could before... so I guess my voice still has some warming up to do...
Also in the last couple of days I became unsatisfied with some new lyrics (and flow) that I put together for some new music tracks... but thankfully, last night I made some decent progress and things are getting back on track!
As far as the flow is concerned, I always want to pay attention to the little details early on. Often the recording stage is when some of those nuances can be figured out as well, but somehow I don't feel right about going into a recording session with only the basic idea of how it will work. Does that make sense? haha
On a completely different note... it looks like A-KICKS is being missed! (albeit with his former spelling... haha) I really love facebook sometimes. Sorry I stole your photos, Gim!
