Nagoya Walkathon Video 2012



I was one of the MCs for the this event and I did not manage to get even 1 second of screen time.  Boo!  Booooo!!!!  They did manage to get a brief shot of Irene; my co-host; poor choice really.  Irene is kind of famous and works for us for free.  I think the deal is supposed to be that we give her back some publicity.  Me?  I get nothing from it but like to see my handsome mug when ever possible!




I am also concerned with the overwhelming presence of English in the video.  This is Japan, if you want to market to the larger audience it should be done in Japanese; prominently. 

Other than that, not a bad video at all!

If I Could Change One Thing

If I could change one thing about myself it would be that I want to sing like Stevie Wonder.  Steven Tyler would be cool too, but I would like to be able to do those little stylistic things Stevie does.  

I do a mean Ozzy, and Country Roads?  I knock em out ya understand! They love it.  Foo Fighters have a special place in my heart.  I love singing some Foo.

What I am trying to figure out is how to sing that OTHER music.  I just cannot get the songs to sound right.  I mean, Stevie Wonder has such a vocal range that his shit is basically impossible.  I can sing maybe three or four of them.  Part-Time Lover, Don't You Worry 'bout a Thing,  A Place in the Sun (song), and  I Believe (When I Fall in Love It Will Be Forever) passably, but it does not sound quite right. 

More karaoke seems like a reasonable first step in solving this issue.

No Title - Its Called "POST"

Been getting the most random requests and offers lately.  I dont actually have much to say.  Said I would post something so here it is.  "HI!"

Should be receiving a new microphone for my computer; a real big one too! Excited to see how it works.  Now we have to see if I use it or I just wasted my hard earned rubles!

This one...

One up from the standard Snowball mike, one below the "Pro" model that my male ego basically DEMANDED.
