Hey everyone, I know it’s a couple of days late, but Happy New Year to everyone!

I hope this year will be one that’s prosperous and joyful for all of you. I hope you guys will be there to also support my as I chase after my dreams, myself that I’ll be working towards.

Well, this Saturday, the 2nd, was my birthday, and I’ve turned 23. It feels kinda weird that I’m another year old. I mean, I don’t see it as a negative or a positive thing. It just feels like I’ve leveled up in some form. I’ve gained experiences over the year, and so my level has increased. I know I’ve learned a lot of stuff over the past year compared to other years, and I’ve experienced a lot of stuff that I wouldn’t have otherwise.

Definitely have to say that last year was pretty decent, but this year is going to be so much better. :) Like I said in my last entry, it IS the year of the tiger, after all.

And so, I leave you a picture of the New Years Kagami-mochi that my friend gave me for my birthday:

As the Japanese say: Kotoshi mo yoroshiku onegaishimasu. (Please look after/support me this year, as well.)

Well, I know it’s been well over a year in-the-making, but I’ve finally opened the “main” part of the site, so go check it out!

http://www.gimmetokyo.net

I basically decided that gimmetokyo[dot]net is going to be a portal site to the other social networking sites that I use, as well as my two blogs: GimmeTOKYO[dot]NET -blogside- and the newly opened AmebaBlog for my Japanese blogging.

Here’s a rundown of what you can find on these sites:

• GimmeTOKYO[dot]NET -blogside-: You’re already here, duh. :)
• AmebaBlog: Japanese blog site, which is taking place of my old mixi account.
• MySpace (Music): “Artist” page for completed drafts and masters of recently made tracks.
• YouTube: Random videos, music uploads, and my video blogging.
• flickr: My photography, obviously.
• tumblr: This is where I mainly have been uploading WIP of music I’m making, as well as reblogging random sh*t that my friends have posted on their own tumblrs. (Warning: may contain material that is questionable or not safe for children.)
• twitter: if you don’t know what twitter is by now… Son, I am disappoint.

With this, I’m promising to at least blog more frequently on here, seeing as I still have posts from last Christmas on the main page. :’| Forgive me.

So with that, I bid you adieu!

I’ve been working on a couple of remixes and arrangements lately. I think I’m gonna have enough for me to release a “digital mix CD” for people that would want one.

I already have a couple of stuff finished and mastered by my good friend DJ Rhythmics, so be on the look out in the coming weeks! :)

One of my guilty pleasures is known by the name of Yazima Beauty Salon, or should I say, Tunnelz + DJ OZMA dressed up as women. They came out with the hit single “ニホンノミカタ -ネバダカラキマシタ-” (Japan’s Ally -We Come From Nevada-) back in 2008, and this earlier this year came out with the spring hit “SAKURA ～ハルヲウタハネバダ～” (SAKURA ~NEVADA SINGS OF SPRING~) with SAKURA being a true guilty pleasure. Well it seems like what started as a joke group just won’t stop, and their songs just keep getting better. So on the toes of the month of July, they just released their newest single, “はまぐりボンバー” (Hamaguri Bomber.)

Enjoy!

Also, lots of love to Avex for allowing embedding of videos. ,D

So I’ve been getting a lot more into music production in the past few months. It’s mainly been just a hobby but I’m planning on possibly getting more serious into it when I gain more talent in it.

In the mean time I’ve created a twitter, tumblr and a MySpace involved with my music. So feel free to watch me at any of them. :) I’m adding the links to them on the right hand side of my blog.
