    Happy Obon! ヘ(・౪・ヘ) Summertime is the spooky season in Japan (chills keep the heat away) so I’ve created a song to reflect a Japanese ghost story. I originally wrote a little portion of it a long time ago and wanted to flesh it out fully. Obon is a holiday to honor the dead and is more sacred and fun for families than scary, so the song reflects the rest of the summer when scary stories are told. (Obon was my deadline!)
    I wrote lyrics that were creepy to me, but my native mother-in-law says my Japanese is too cutesy to be scary to her, so this was a good lesson in cultural horror! ("hai hai? like a baby's crawl? that's too cute.") Special thanks to her for language consultation and to my very dear, very patient brother for mastering it!
    I do hope you enjoy "Hush" as I put my heart and soul into it, and had so much fun taking on a creepy little persona. If you are in Japan (or Hawaii) during this time, I hope you dance at Bon Matsuri!

    This song reminds me of a ghost encounter that happened to me.
    I was 8 years old when it happened. My bed was facing the closet, I also suffer from Nyctophobia, fear of the dark and things in it, which is strange because I love night. So there I was, no nightlight, when suddenly, I hear something from my closet, a light scratching at first, I assumed it was one of the 4 cats I had and fell asleep, when suddenly, I hear, a girls voice sounding similar to Ashley Serena's, it said "What's yours is mine, what's mine is mine." Then a light laughter. How I fell asleep after that I have no idea, but when I did, I swear I saw something, a dark figure with yellow eye, watching me.
    When I checked the closet the next morning, there was nothing.

      Interesting. In highschool a girl who claimed to be a follower on Anton LaVey once wrote "What's mine is all mine, what's yours is mine, too" in a notebook of mine. If I recall correctly she also had schizophrenia that resulted in painful and terrifying hallucinations at times.

      The Yokai she is cosplaying as is called a Kitsune, they are shapeshifters that can transform from women to fox. They have magic powers, such as, illusions, shapeshifting (particularly to human form), possession, and especially the ability to use fox-fire.

    I discovered you with your "Lullaby of Woe" cover, and went through several of your songs since then. As everybody says, you've got such a great voice ! Your adaptations are wonderfull, both for their quality and the choice of them. Several langages, ancient songs completely unknown from me, spooky sleepy happy themes... I just love it.
    And now your originals, from the first ones, nice instrumentals, 'til the last in which you brings out your personal life and emotions in the lyrics. We can see, ear and feel your evolution, and it's great, you're doing very well ! I'm glad you could find other artists to work with, it's always an amazing support, and a fulfiling experience to develope your art.

    I loved it and my kids love it even more because they are cryptic and creepy too lol. It also kind of brought to life an anime' of yourself.

      Pretty sure you could buy the ears on the internet, and face painting just takes a bit of practice.
