2017/ Sakuro Tour/ Suzume/ Nanakawa Miko

Happy New Year ~ !

Hi everyone ~ !

It's a new year with lot's to look forward to.

I'm entering the new year with gratitude, new goals and an open heart.

2017 was a year of  pain and uncertainty but it was also a year of learning and growth and I'm ready for more!

I did some pretty cool things in 2017.  Some highlights were:

SaKURO Tour with KuroPOP

Last spring, KuroPOP held their second tour and this time we went to more locations!

The ones I participated in were

Sakura Matsuri D.C

performing "Sayonara Hitori" with Raevyn
















Subaru Cherry Blossom Festival


























Sakura Matsuri Brooklyn Botanic Garden 





















 And the Baltimore Cosplay Photoshoot 


























I unfortunately am taking a break from live performances with KuroPOP but I still support my girls fully and am looking forward to what they'll have planned during the Sakura Tour this year~



I also met Suzume again!!

During the summer we got to meet up and went to a super cute cafe down town called Pietro Nolita.

The decor was extremely adorable and the food was really really good omg

She gave me a copy of her photobook....and it's signed!!!

Pretty sure there were steak and pesto sandwiches (?)

























Latte!!!

























Watermelon juice!!! 


Suzume is so sweet. I hope I get to meet her again.



To close the year off, Ari and I got to meet and collaborate with odorite Nanakawa Miko!

Miko is currently traveling to different countries and recording dances everywhere she goes. She reached out to us earlier in the year and asked if we wanted to collaborate and of course we said yes!!!

Here's our cover to "Snow Trick".



At the time Miko only had what she wore in the video and a shawl to cover herself in 18 degree weather. She had a bit of a cold at the time too. Despite that and only having arrive to New York the day before was incredible professional the entire time. Committed, energetic, positive and extremely pleasant. It was a joy and honor to work with her. Not to mention she also filmed another solo video in one take. No mistakes. Wow!

Afterwards we went to Five Guys together! 







It was so nice to be inside after filming for a few hours....

























Miko's first milkshake at Five Guys!!
















I personally couldn't have found a better way to end 2017.

2018  is here and Ari and I have plans! That's all for now.

Ciao.
