Japan plan is done!

I will be going on a trip with Mochan, an activity organizer from Couchsurfing.org. I will be staying in Tokyo for one week and after that I will see much more of Japan together with Mochan and his friends! He is organizing some concerts for me and he wants to film me singing in different places in Japan, so I am very excited about all that!!

He told me some places he wanted to visit with me so I made a print screen of the google maps route of every place. I will see much of Japan :D

I am so EXCITED I just needed to share this with you guys :)

Lleonie - メロディー (melody) Second Japanese Song! (included my first as well)

I did record the first one so I will be looking for that recording for you, for now please enjoy my second song. Leave feedback on youtube, facebook or blogspot.

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)
