And Now For Something Completely Different.....

When I started to take the deep dive 2 years ago, I was immersed in the Japanese music scene. I wasn't into anime but more into the female rock scene. Specifically I was introduced to bands like Band-Maid (whom I've seen in concert twice in Japan). This also led me to explore other artists including Hiroyuki Sawano, who is the music composer for a number of famous classic animes like Attack on Titan. He used a number of featured singers that really meshed with my musical sense. Cut to when I was ready to introduce vocals to my first couple of songs, I had the hairbrained idea to attempt to cold contact some of these Japanese vocalists and see if they wanted to collaborate. With Google Translate as my friend I sent out a number of inquiries. After a few weeks of no replies, I actually had a taker!

This singer was known to mix English with Japanese in her cover songs which also led to the next crazy thought... Have her do the same with my song!

Long story short, here is J-Pop star Hiyori Nara, with my track, In Your Heart!

Thanks! Many of these singers from Japan, Korea, China & throughout the East are vastly underrated here in the West. I have one more superstar vocalist from Japan to be released next month!
