A clip of me singing 'Yume no Ato' by Tokyo Jihen, but the orchestral version with Saito Neko as Ringo Shiina's solo project. This is a bad quality recording done with my digital camera when I was in a kareoke box in Japan, although with no video. This is 1 of all time favourites songs by Miss Shena, & as she is my idol I admit that I mimick her singing style a lot. I find this song easier to sing because it starts off quite softly & my voice is naturally "patheticly quiet" :P so it sorta suits me in that way. I need to be slapped for the number of times my singing goes flat, & I'm on the dangerous verge of sounding like a wailing cat near the end of the song where I try to sing out & put more emotion in my voice...but I still like to think that this is 1 of my best recordings. Thank you for listening & please let me know what you think :) Criticism is welcomed as I'd love to improve, but if it's not constructed & you're just going to say that I sound bad without telling me how, please don't bother commenting :/ Thanks!

Sep 18, 2008 - That was lovely! It's definitely not Shiina, but it was still beautiful the way you sung it. Though it does indeed resemble a wailing cat near the end, I always figured it was supposed to be a little wobbly because of the emotion involved. I guess there's room for improvement there -- but aside from that, great job! I'm looking forward to more.♥

Sep 19, 2008 - Wow, thank you so much for this honest and helpful comment! :D Yeah, I'm still finding it difficult to get the right balance of being able to sing with emotion yet not sound awful at the same time... I'm working on it though! I hope you'll watch more of my videos when I upload them :)

Nov 12, 2008 - I'm glad that you enjoyed it :) I agree that I'm not Shiina, but I did try to put across a similiar emotion... I'm really grateful for your comment, thank you!

Nov 12, 2008 - That's fairly good. I have to say the ending needs improving, but all in all I liked it because you have a lot in common with Shiina ^^
