Hatsune Miku - Vocaloid

In the future we don't need singers anymore, you will have a hologram of a singer and a program singing the lines for you. Where to expect this? In Japan ofcourse, Hatsune Miku is a performing hologram and very popular.

Watch this video first and than see how kids react to her performance. In the next video you will get an explanation about how they made her and the music.

I AM GOING!!

A few weeks ago I finally bought my ticket to Tokyo, I am so excited!! I want to do my graduation project there with a research, a research about the differences between western and eastern pop culture. But thats not all, I will be making two songs before I go, one ballad and one up-tempo song in the hope to share my music with the Japanese people and getting their feedback. Ruben Wijga decided to help me with the songs, so I am very thankfull for his help.

Next thing is I have been contacting a lot of people in Tokyo through the couchsurfing website to see if they wanted to either have a chat with me, show me around or make music with me!! So far so good since a lot of people already responded to my message and would like to meet up with me in february!!

I am getting more and more excited as time passes by and I find myself with my head in Japan and not being able to concentrate well on my work, lets hope this will get better ;)

A Japanese organisator on te couchsurfing website asked me to cancel my room and come tour with him through all of Japan and make it a music tour with more people, but I am not sure whether I want to do that or not, at least not for all the time I am there (because I want to meet all the people I contacted).

What would you do if you were me? (keep in mind that I will be renting a room for a month)

For those of you that want to be creative in other ways, try this!

Kirsten Dunst in Akihabara

Kirsten Dunst starred as a Cosplay girl in a music video singing a song called Turning Japanese. The video was produced by artist Takashi Murakami, and directed by McG who also directed Terminator Salvation. Cosplay is short for costume play, and it’s huge in Japan.

The music video screened at a London show last fall called Pop Life: Art in a Material World.



I really don't know what to think of this but I like her in the Cosplay outfit :p

This is the original song,

Audition Websites

I met this woman of coachsurfing.org and she gave me a couple of websites were I can apply myself for an audition with a record label! I'm very excited about this (even though I cant read it, I hope a translation will get me somewhere) and I hope I can apply myself soon and be sure to get a ticket to Japan, so I will have to work hard! Especially since my laptop was stolen last week and I bought a new one of the money that was for the ticket to Japan... So I'm going to work even harder to get enough money again!
