Aimo song again and Hakuouki.

This is simply a re-upload of The original song just with an echo effect added. I've been doing a crap load of stuff recently, too much to think about recording so I apologize in advance.




On a side note I've been absolutely ecstatic about some Hakuouki news recently. They're making a 3rd season (prequel style) and 2 short movies. Also I've discovered that Otomate did indeed make an actual Action/Adventure game for the PSP releases this year. I sure hope they'll translate the rest of the games in the years to come....... Am I getting ahead of myself? How rude of me! I didn't even say what "Hakuouki" is! Bad me >_<"

Hakuouki (Pale cherry blossom Demon) is a Living Novel/Date Sim style game based on the historical samurai group called the "Shinsengumi". You play as a girl looking for her missing Father and through a series of events she gets mixed up with the Shinsengumi and eventually falls in love with one of 5 bachelor Shinsengumi men and 1 evil dude. Elements in the game, including people and events, do draw from historical events but there are some fantasy elements that..... don't....draw from historical events..... tee hee hee. 

Anyway, the game spawned an animated series that lasted for 2 seasons or 22 episodes (too short and WAY to sad!) and 3 more games. Looking at some of the success of the recent English release and the sales of the 4 Japanese games I guess someone at Otomate games (copyright holder)  Decided to continue with the cashgrab and said "Lets animate the Prequel game Reimei-Roku and make an action/adventure game!"(think GTA meets Edo era Japanese Samurai) and thus, my giddy-ness has been explained. If you're curious about this series then feed the name in to your fave search engine and have fun searching. 

(warning) some of the fan base for this series range from respectful *like me* to "OMG! are you F-ing crazy?! You made which character do what with WHO?!" psychopath level..... just so you know....

Later! A.M.

P.S. I like the game and anime because of it's compelling/heartbreaking story and believable  character interpretation, (historical, remember?) NOT because it's a dating game! I'm too much of a tom-boy for lovey-dovey crap like that. XD

Tune and Trinkets Update: Mixed Breed Dog.

Well, I received Ammy's DNA Test Results via Downloadable PDF file. This DNA test goes all the way back to what her Great Grandparents were and as it turns out in her family tree on one side it's all American Eskimo 
 
and on the other side it's Cocker Spaniel and Mixed breeds...... 




That explains pretty much EVERYTHING I've been wondering about with her for the past 5 years! Was it worth $85.00?....... Let me get back to you on that but in my opinion it's pretty good. Only really snippy on the price but I'd say if you can find a Wisdom Panel Insight on the Cheap then I'd definitely say "go for it!"

Later! A.M.

Gelfling Song Duet From The Dark Crystal

Well, It's the Weekend so I guess I should Post something... ......
Yeah, I guess That Will do.


Oh Come on! I'm just kidding. Here's a nice Video.
I'm actually really pleased with how this one turned out.
Please Don't forget to comment. ♥ It helps me improve.

In Other News: Been Busy as a Beaver listing Items on Our Etsy shop and I've been Really surprised by how much traffic we've gotten. (Thanks for the help mom.) 
Don't Forget about Those Ocarina charms I mentioned a little while ago. ;D They will be going up within the Week and I got a new Tenrai pendant Ocarina for Easter and have been thoroughly LOVING it! I'll post a picture when I can.

Later. A.M.     

P.S. Some one here asked me what ocarina I used for this performance. Here you go. https://www.songbirdocarina.com/index.php/all/dragontooth-ocarina-metallic-lustre-detail

You can get it in a metallic luster, Straw fired and they have a few in their new Opal color. Just go to their "one of a kind" section. :)

Fight on Brave Oki from Okami and update.



This was easily one of the faster songs I've played and yet all the months of practicing seemed to have payed off......*I hope*. I'll admit that the one bottom part is a little weird but it's the best I could pull off considering my little blue soprano can only crank out so much "magic".


Anyway, I've had allot of fun recently finishing 2 new songs and doing some tinkering with an already finished performance, I just discovered Audio editing software, specifically the "Echo" effect!..... >_>" okay, maybe that's not such a huge achievement but I can be rather computer illiterate some days. 
Also you could call me a *purist* meaning if you can't make an ocarina performance without "adding" to it, then you need more practice...... but that's just me.  
So adding an echo to my videos is not going to be a regular thing with me. 
Only for really special videos. ♥


So, either way I've been rather proud of myself recently and I'm gonna be really excited when I post them here!


"New Song Learned" Pazu's Morning Salute from Castle in the Sky.

Looking forward to recording that.
Later! A.M.

P.S. Recently sent my mixed dogs DNA to be analyzed so I'll finally know WHAT she is! I'll post the results here. In the meantime Here's the cute little fuzz-ball just itching for a good game of fetch! Ammy. (Amaterasu)
God bless and Happy Easter tomorrow everybody! XD

Aimo from Macross Frontier.

Just to let you know, I have never seen the actual show that this song comes from. I actually heard this song from an AMV that my little Sister showed me and I thought to myself "I can totally learn that song!" Little did I realize how complicated this song was going to be seeing as it was a different version of the song than the one from the show (The different version require allot of sharps and such). 

Even so, I managed to learn BOTH the version from the AMV And the Original song you'll hear down below. 

On a side note: For those of you who DO know the series, I'm sorry but I couldn't find a full karaoke version of this song..... life's full of trade-offs.. >_<
Aside from that, Enjoy

Okay, one extra side note: No this isn't an April Fools prank. Granted, they can be funny sometimes so don't get me wrong but They're just not something I do.
