MAN SHOPPING

new music video!!!

"MAN SHOPPING"

ALL LOVE

i have a great friend who always gives some power to me n let me recognize who i am.

this friend is MeccaGodZilla. 

we met a bar in NY through my friend.

he found my beat making skill coz i have not had any confidence for my beats till i met him even i did my best everytime for making.

actually its so hard to introduce myself as a beat maker while ive lived in ny 

coz im not look like beat maker??? 

sometime ppl dont trust me that im a beat maker...just a girl...

in the early life in ny is like that…

but Mecca is different. he made me trust my beat making skill when i let him hear my beat.
this is the big point.
i got confidence by his some words. dont know why his words is so strong n trustable.

and

i asked him a lot about music business like copyright,publishing while ive worked other rappers in ny

coz i really dont know about it n couldnt trust the rapper lol 

so i asked him a lot.

he helped me a lot.

then

he has lived in Tokyo after i moved back from ny to tokyo.

he asked me “can u make beats like ・・・” its like executive producer :) 

i have not had job n not started @djtomoko n Ucca-Laugh then

so i made some beats for him.

this is the one “ALL LOVE” great memory…

me n Ucca r look soooooo young even around 3years ago lol

we love all ppl who come up this video<3


Mecca has lots of friends here in Tokyo n also NY.
you gotta know his personality n  how he is activist :)

i really respect him.





this no future,this no past, its only right now by MeccaGodZilla

love that.

whats next??

guess whats next…

MAKUAKE CEREMONY

we had show last nite.
its for promoting our new EP coz will out next Wed!

from Kiwamu Omae instagram


yeah its really nice party but wanna talk bout only our show honestly.

we could hav not imaged how ppl gonna react coz nobody knows our new songs.
and its the first time to perform slow song in nite club.
the song is #5 Dear my Fear.
theme is“fear”so totally not for nite club but we hav thought we gotta do n tell our ppl how we have felt for last 10months. the song i really want u guys to listen n understand. Mecca helped us for english line as usual;)

beautiful song n so many massage.the first thing i love the song;)
moreover i have one thing i regret for the song but i dont mention now.
i may can talk about it in 1year.


anyway


wanna talk about the show.

i think it was BAD show for us rather than not perfect show.
our music fans r really enjoyed n i understand coz we have performed all new songs.
the point is sound.
cant hear monitor,mic is not clear, stage lightning…actually a lot.
this position is make us look good as u can c the pics↑
but its bad for performing artist.
the nite club has 3 positions we can perform n have done 2 other positions before so we have done all positions.
we could learn which position is the best for a show.

yes

learning learning every time learning !!!

for next show!!!


i wanna thank to everyone who always support us.
our music fan is real music fan i think n im so proud of it.


time to check our songs ;p

but

this year is different

i think my summer is from now ;p hehe

TOKYO has a lot of looks …

didnt know even i was born n grew up in tokyo.

these girls r soooo talented!!!!

DJ YUI, MISAKI, Ucca n MIHO

actually MCLadyCat was there too.

fireworks in tokyo bay;)

me n Ucca r geek of YUKATA coz cant count how many yukata ive ever got lol

and

i can say Ucca is queen of YUKATA.

UccaTA!!!

Recording done anyway:)

“gradation color” 

its coloring the hair from light to dark. 

tips of hair dyed is popular recently i think...

but my bright part is lil bigger like three quarters for my hair length.

thanks KAYO!! i really love it;)

ive chilled wit my girl AYA n took these pics after meeting.

she is also our hair makeup artist. 

meeting,

recording 

n 

meeting

we will meet HARD day but will do for the NEW day!!! 

cant believe its in Harajuku

toooooo nice

 had great relaxing time

i trust my music

finally



we r free!!!!



i can dump our music that actually dont want make.

BOMB???

me n ucca hav been making our next album for 6months…

u think its long??or only 6 month yet???

honest wit only u guys who check my blog.

our album is supposed to b released in July

ummmm..? oh still May lol


ill explain the flow of releasing

like this↓

meeting in March → release in July

meeting in April → release in August

meeting in May → release in September

meeting in June → release in October

big meeting is 4month before of release month

so it takes 4months to complete.

i dont know bout other major label but its normal??

back to our situation..

we should hav made BOMB song till first week of March if we wanna release in July.

actually so many good songs we made!!!! i think we did.



but

label told us

"making one BOMB song is better than making lots of good songs.
its the smartest way of leading to promote."

so planning has changed.

i heard that CD really dont sale in August.
(the case is only japan?? coz of vacation in summer called Obon???)

we really didnt care about meeting in April.lol


then we kept making songs again.

we have tried to make BOMB song soooo hard till the meeting in May coz wanna release in Sep.


but we couldnt the one our AnR think BOMB even if we think its BOMB.


my heart was full of stress..

i hav thought that he mite not say “YES” if we made 100 songs..

he asks too much like

no sampling,
make eroticism song,
not too new,
tomoucca way,


whatever..

sometime doesnt make sense..



BUT

my friend who used to b a major artist email me

“u guys r sooo free more than other major artist coz so hard n so tied while i hav contract.u n ucca hav ability to make BOMB!! thats why ur AnR ask u guys."


i realized again

yes we r soooo freedom n our AnR is asking normal..





finally

we talked to him

“so how about releasing in October??"

next BIG meeting is June 6..

i hope its going well


good luck to us;)

follower

we hav lots of things to think about our ustream show since our show renewed .

our show is produced by me n Ucca as u know.

like organizing,editing a movie,setting up equipment and fashion...

everything!!! 

actually we need help but we really enjoy it.

my girl Aya hav been helping us for hair make n choosing uniform from the last time.

we met her through our AnR when we shot music video.

then we became close friend coz we hav so many common i think;)

what i like her is...

she let us recognize who we r!!

its not only fashion but also what we want to be as an artist.

oh 

anyway

today i wanna talk bout followers!!

everyone mite do twitter,instagram…whatever…

ive been thinking it doesnt matter how much followers we hav.

how connect wit followers n artist.

honestly 

followers of me n ucca r not big…

but 

look

artist who hav over 10000 followers always get iTunes hiphop top10 chart??

“no” 

artist who hav over 10000 followers always get 5000 total viewers on ustream??

“no” 

only 20% or 30% of the followers r real fan of the artist????

i sometime check itunes top chart for japan but i always wonder it.

we have only around 1800 followers so far

but we r so close to our followers so we could get top chart n viewers r getting big on ustream.

i think 90% of our followers r real friends n our music fan;)

thats happy for us!!!!

u know 

Hirano who is one of pioneer for social media like Ustream n Twitter in Japan
called that “Love level”

so i can say 

“love level between tomoucca n our followers is high"

i will try to get real follower lil by lil ;p

n

she wakes me up!!!!!

i mean i need to talk wit person who has exactly what they wanna b,what they wanna do..

especially hustle in other countries

i recognized my thinking is so smaller than her thinking.

i used to be like her person but now my mind is getting domestic.


she said“always imagine what u wanna, judge the rite thing n stay positive”

thats soooooo simple but i totally forgot it…

“then people around u”she said…


ive given up like judging negative way easily before i start to do recently.

she let me know the smart way of judging ;)

in the case of her,
sooo many ppl who help,famous artists around her so i think thats the way i gotta do!


she n friends in NY advise me about my dream from big view point

thats why i wake up everytime i talk!!! i dont give a f*ck for small thing ;)


thanks thanks thanks a lot!!!!!

ucca is my business partner also really close friend like real sister;)


but

she was like a sticker when i met her two years ago lol

u know what ???

she has called me n text me a lot n spent half a year to work wit me even ive not replay much.

i just wanted to do what i gotta do so ive not care what she said,what she want.

not felt her anything cuz she was like just party girl n just followed me lol

ummm..


yes


she didnt give me up n just followed me like sticker.

she used to b “Ucca-Sticker” lmao


anyway


i moved when she got angry first time.
i thought
"WOW where the STRONG power come from???
so scary but she has something.”

actually i was so excited then


i could know if i can keep the relationship when i argue the first time.
no matter who boy or girl.


so

i dont know how many times we argued lol

its a proof we really close.

i feel she is soooo tough and her mind is flexible.thats positive mean.


yeah

she has strong heart more than me.

i think im sensitive n fragile more than her. i realized that recently:)

so
she will b gooooooood mam in the future:p

the most Ucca-Laugh thing is(←i dont even know that mean lol)

her laughing makes everyone happy!!!!!
make u happy!!!!!
make me happy!!!!!

i wanna say 

HAPPY BIRTH DAY to Ucca-Laugh

music i really wanna make is sampling music…

i talk about only technical part.lol sorry

u guys already know we have been working wit major label.

my A&R told me its hard to clear sample source.

but 

label ppl gonna say ok if i chopped a lot n nobody realized that i sample.

ummmm:(

my opinion is..

its not cool chopping the sample a lot.

thats only my opinion.

thats ok if its remix thing but basically i cant say thats cool.

thats why i always look for good phrase from many music.

synth beat is cool as well.

i love soooooo much synth sound coz i can feel tite n stay aggressive.

sampling music is warmer so i can listen for good♪
