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!!♪

Two Thousand And Nine~~!!

So it's the New Year!! For some reason it feels slightly surreal that it's 2009 already... maybe because this is the last year of the "two thousand"s. Next year we'll be saying "twenty-ten", and all this "two thousand" business will be over... awww. ;P

Anyway, my New Years' was uneventful, unless you count being sick an adventure. And I realized after more than two days into the new year that I completely forgot about making a resolution, too...! But now I figure that since the resolution I made last year was decided in May... I may as well make this year's resolution in May too! (This might just be an excuse... but I can live with that.)

Unfortunately 2009 has started with a set-back for me: I no longer have any idea when I can go to Japan. At first the hold up was all document-related but now, especially with the current CAD to JPY exchange rate, it's clear that money is the main issue. So, I've got to put more effort into building up my savings!!

On that note, dear reader, please feel free to make a donation to my Mochatastic Money Basket! Be as generous as you like; I promise I won't refuse your money. >:D hahaha

Enjoy 2009, everyone! There'll be some new music updates before too long, I swear~ ;D

Wow~

Kylie Minogue's 2007 album, X, has been on repeat in my iTunes for the past 3 days. I don't know what it is about it! But I've become hooked on the songs (all but one song, which happens to be a bonus track anyway...) and I'm just glad I randomly decided to check out some of her recent music again. Her songs have some really good flow--I'm feeling even more inspired to make interesting music!

Lift The Fog Up

Here's yet another song I've fallen in love with recently. Shing02 is one of the first emcees whose lyrics really affected me. His writing is often expressive, eloquent, and full of metaphors, which really helps to inspire me both musically and personally... and one day I'm damn well gonna see him perform! ;P

Check out the music player below to listen to Lift The Fog Up, by KK + Shing02 (remixed by the absolutely awesome Eccy). If you're curious about the lyrics for this song, they are available on Shing02's website in both English and Japanese. All his other lyrics are here, for those of you who are even more curious (but maybe that's just me haha). Enjoy~~

Make Me Sweat

If any of you fellow Canadians have been watching the first season of So You Think You Can Dance Canada, you may recognize the song that I've recently taken a liking to. Make Me Sweat by Basement Jaxx—one of my all-time favourite music artists—first came to my attention a few weeks ago when SYTYCD couple Kaitlyn and Izaak performed a Benji Schwimmer routine. That song really stood out! There's hardly a song by Basement Jaxx that I don't enjoy, and this one is definitely no exception~ Have a listen! :D
