Angel's Tale

Hi everyone and welcome on this page ! (^o^)/ Thank you for stopping here and taking time to listen and comment^^ I will try not to disappoint you and always improve ! ^-^; Gambarimasu! ^o^ I had no other pretention in subscribing here than share with more people what I had only shared with a few selected people until now : my love for music and singing :) I hope you will enjoy the little trip to my world and come back anytime^^ P.S. : please forgive my bad English^^;;;

Unfortunately, I can't say I've always been singing and first sang on stage at the age of 3 or something ; my story is not original at all and sounds like a lot of other little girls' story actually^^; From what I can remember, I started singing and enjoying it when I was around 6-8 years old ; I was mainly singing along Disney songs at that time, just like a lot of other little kids do^^ Nothing really interesting about it I think ; my dream as a child had never been to become a singer at all ; it was clearly and only a past time, and as nobody had ever told me back then that I had a nice voice or anything, I guess I just dropped it for other things I was better at and somewhat recognized for... (that is to say : studying and drawing) It's only when I was around 13-14 that I really started singing as a hobby ; I don't really know why I suddenly felt the need to sing and how I came to love it so much, but I think it has something to do with Japanese music entering my life around the same time^^ (mainly KANNO Yoko and SAKAMOTO Maaya at that time) After that, when I was around 15, I took part in the school choir for one year and took guitar lessons for 3 years (but I'm still a very bad player =_=;;;). Now I'm turning 20 (this Spring^^), and even though I had to stop taking guitar lessons and rarely practice, I'm still singing :) If I could, I would like to take proprer singing lessons and also find a way to learn how to play piano^^ ...also, if I could get rid of my shyness, that would be great T-T (I'm always refraining myself from singing as soon as I know people are around -which is the case most of the time... =_=;- so I miss a lot of occasions to sing very stupidly :( )

I NEVER sang live... I guess I would be too afraid for now^^;;; (subscribing and uploading songs here is already a big step for me) but I think it would be a great experience ; singing in front of people, sharing something with the audience, feeling their energy, the band energy... that must be truely great.

I listen to a lot of music, from classic to hard rock (though I'm more into Pop-Rock, R&B-Soul-Funk lately), so I don't think I've been especially influenced by something or someone... (talking about voice, since I don't write songs yet^^;) I think I take a bit of everything and everyone^^ Artists I listen to a lot (and use to sing along their songs...) : Asian Music (mainly JMusic) : SAKAMOTO Maaya, NAKASHIMA Mika, MISIA, BoA, HIRAI Ken, Gackt, m-flo, UTADA HIKARU, Crystal Kay, KANNO Yoko, HAMASAKI Ayumi (though I dislike her voice, some of her songs are -musically- great), HYDE, L'Arc-en-Ciel, Quruli, ASIAN KUNG-FU GENERATION, ELLEGARDEN, Nell, K (what a great voice !)... Hajime Chitose, Ootsuka Ai, KOBUKURO, REMIOROMEN, Khalil Fong, Dreams Come True, Jay Chou, Leehom Wang, A-mei, Skoop On Somebody, The Gospellers, Spitz... Others : jamiroquai, Alicia Keys, Brian McKnight, Coldplay, MUSE, KEANE, Travis, Natalie Imbruglia, Dido, Mariah Carey, Alanis Morissette, Jack Johnson, Phil Collins, John Legend, the Black Eyed Peas, Eric Clapton, Simon and Garfunkel, Joss Stone, STAIN, the Red Hot Chili Peppers, GARBAGE... etc, etc^^ I surely forget a lot, but since I'm always searching for new music to listen to (I get easily tired...), it's quite hard to remember all^^;;

An horrible low-quality microphone that I got years ago with my analog modem =_=;;; (well, it's still better than nothing, but I would really like to buy a new and better one T-T)

Please feel free to comment ! ^o^ As long as they're a bit constructive, criticisms are welcome^^ I'm always trying to improve so be sure that I will read carefully and try to take into account any advice (^_)Y Yoroshiku onegai shimasu ^-^
