MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Hello everyone!

This is just a quick blog wishing all of you a very Merry Christmas!  I hope y'all are spending time with your family and friends and are enjoying each other's company.  I hope you're eating good food, giving and receiving wonderful gifts, and spreading the Christmas spirit!

So, as kind of a little Christmas Card to all of you, I sang C-ute's Aitai Lonely Christmas!  I know it's a depressing song, but I'm hoping none of you are lonely like the girls are in the song. xP

Please enjoy!


And when Christmas is over, I'll be posting a review I've been working on.  It's a bit different than the usual J-pop reviews I do, so please look forward to it!

Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night!

Help Me!! Wait until January 23rd!


AWWWWWWWWWWWWWW YISS!

First off, Happy 12/12/12 everybody!

Second, HOLY CRAP THIS IS AWESOME!

Following along the ElectroPop trend Momusu has been on lately, a radio rip of "Help Me!!" has been released.

This is a really high quality radio rip, so I'm very pleasantly surprised.

The intro and the bridge are super interesting, since Mizuki (I do believe it's her) starts talking, and then as an echo, a high pitched robot voice follows.  It's like something you'd hear at a rave.  As soon as the song started going, I imagined people jumping up and down with glowsticks and lots and lots of spandex...it's almost kind of space-y.  I think Tsunku is really starting to get the hang of the electronic music, so it's good that his best electro effort is with the debut of Sakura.

BY THE WAY, SAKURA SOUNDS AWESOME.

SANG IT GURL.   I'm so happy she sounds so good!  And she fits in really well with the current sound that Momusu has, since her voice is still youthful, but she also fills out the group vocal sound as well, since her voice has warmth and power behind it.  I can't wait to hear more from her!

Also, Mizuki gets to sing some more in this one, which makes me happy, since her voice is always pleasant to hear.  Reina sounds fabulous as always, and I'm hearing steady improvement with Riho.  Her voice is still nasal-y, but there is less strain, so it's good that she's learning to sing healthier.  Yay healthy singing!  I think I also hear Robo-Sayu in there somewhere. XD

I'm excited to see what kind of concept they're going to do for this really awesome song, since I can't quite guess from these outfits. XD  It'll be cool to see what kind of things are revealed on the way 'till the release date on January 23rd.

For now, everyone enjoy the song!

WAHOO!  What a setlist, right!?
If you don't see any names under a song title, you can assume that all group members are performing that particular song.  ^--^  For the different grouping songs in this concert, I put the names of the girls who are performing those songs under the song title.  The duet and trio songs are a really fun way to show off the different personalities and strengths of each of the members, so the person who chose the song has their name written down first.

Anyway, please listen to these songs, and get some wotagei ready for the concert!

It's a great feeling

When you're in the car and you're singing your own song!

x3

I was singing "Let's Live" in the car today on the way back from the library.  It makes me so happy that I can write my own lyrics and make my own melodies, even if I suck at reading music. XDD

And of course with the help of Chris's awesome instrumentation.  Even listening to the instrumental makes me super happy.

It's like...this is my song.

IT'S SO CRAZY!

I wonder if this is how music artists feel when they write songs...or maybe they've gotten used to it.

I dunno.

This is my first song so it's very special to me.

Don't worry, you'll get to hear a preview soon!

How does this Friday sound?

Or maybe Thursday?

Sometime this week, there will be a preview!

And I'm hoping to release the setlist for our first concert this week as well!

It's a super fun setlist, full of high energy and dancing!

It's a setlist that shows off all of the talents of the ElectroCute members.  ^--^

I'm hoping that someday soon, we can have a concert that is only made up of ElectroCute songs!

That day will make me so happy!

But that also means I have to write A LOT of new songs! XDD

....Actually...

I've already started on the lyrics for our second single! xP

It's got a different feel than our first single.

But I guess that doesn't mean much since y'all haven't heard any of "Let's Live" yet. xP

But!

This week, you'll hear a preview!

I hope you're excited!

I'm excited!

I'm excited to hear what everyone thinks of the song.  Please tell me your true feelings about it, yeah?

Anyway, I need to finish my last bit of homework and go off to bed!

Nighty night everyone, and sweet dreams!

<3
