Yesterday, my friend, Eric Perry and I created this music video together!

All improvisations. Very thrilling video shooting!

He was saying about this as "Creative Celebration"!  And I love the naming!

The song is "Cotton Candy" (obviously). One of my songs.

And here, another one!



This music is written by Rosendo E. Santos, JR. He is my father in law. Unfortunately I could not see him...

But he left many beautiful pieces in this world! So, I asked Erik to collaborate with him!

I hope you enjoy this like we did!


A N D!!! Finally MICHIGAN ROOTS JAMBOREE!!!!

It is the one of the most important annual events to me!!!

Tomorrow, August 5th Thursday, its Kickoff Party will be held in the Corner Brewery, Ypsilanti

GO Ypsi! Thank you all...

Check this out!! This is my home town (in USA) Ypsilanti!!!!

Erik is talking about October Babies music in this video! (You can see me singing/jumping)

Someone like me who came from far far away, needs homey feeling.

Many people in this town are so so so nice and warm...

This place is the first place in the US that I started singing. Of course, in Japanese.

I thought first no one wanted to listen to Japanese songs because most of the people don't understand

what I'm singing. However,  many open-minded people have supported me to open the door.

Since I was child, I was listening to many English songs. I don't understand but I just loved them.

I know "music is universal language". But even so, I was still scared.

People in this town really told me that "Believe yourself. Any kind of language, that's OK!  Music is music!"

Some of them have joined in October Babies!! Right? Erik, Ben, Dale, and Mike! Others have been dancing and

enjoying together!!

Without singing, I could not be here. It's not too much to say. 

Thank you so much for helping me, encouraging me, and having great time together!!

Love you all!!!

Toko from October Babies.
