First Love- Utada Hikaru (me singing trial 1)

[zionbnr32]

remotes and fans win, great couple

[BlueHairedGoddess]

Ehm...

I *think* you are a good singer, but the problem (and the big detractor from this video) is that the version you are singing to has the original voice in it, and it's so loud, it's drowning you out! My advice: Use headphones if you need to hear her voice, or use a Karaoke version of the song (all instrumental), so we only hear you!

Because of this, I think the video is awful. *NOT * because you look or sound bad, or look intense (which I think you feared). Good luck, & keep trying!

[iluvuA1]

[makaronid]

no i'm not

[juliexxx14]

wow ur good!!! r u japanese????

[makaronid]

thanks, and no i'm not.

[darkcypha]

Awesome

[glowpopp]

In reality, the notes in the beginning arent really that low. :)

Or, you can just sing on another octave if you arent comfortable with the lower ones. ^^

In my opinion, you did great. :D

[makaronid]

thanks a lot

[prettylilgel]

ur good!!;p

[MoonLight9382]

ha ha.......

[ilovetosing013]

[makaronid]

thank you

[gujinjin1985]

你永远会是我最爱的女孩！！！

[makaronid]

LOL...my god gege. xie xie~ :p

[Ember4501]

ue amazing! i love this! "claps" I love your voice! :O

[ahTin125]

ur voice is nice.

just the first part.. which are the low notes. hm.. seem to struggle abit..

try to talk in a low tone..

read the lyrics in low tone..

then sing and work on ur breathing..

ur first part sounded like u are pushing really hard and ur breathing is way too noticable.

the bridge and chorus is nice and adorable

keep up the good work =)

[mikuchan28]

I so want to do this song...I dnt really have a nice voice...but I luv singing and my boyfriend says my voice is pretty...Ican't find the off vocal version...not even the instrumental one...If I can I would one...please watch it..I. luv your voice...it's so beautiful...and you get the sentimental part...cause some others just sing cause they can...it's important to know the concept of the song...to know what to feel while you're singing. verry good :D. loved your version!

[makaronid]

thanks for your comment. I think I did a terrible job after listening to it; i will do another attempt later when I have spare time. I actually have the no vocal mp3 somewhere.

[kawaiipinayx3]

Awwe your not fat! ]:

&If the camera added ten pounds, you aren't really fat.

You're thick :] and there's a difference.

YOU SING WELL BTW!

[SakulalaMagic]

素晴らしい！

本当に感動しましたわ～

[makaronid]

i'm sorry, i don't know how to read japanese. translation anyone?

[cheecheng]

there is a english version you know.

[kisariXD]

O<G! You sing the high notes better then me. Everytime I hit the part where you sing anata wa doko ni irun darou dare wo omette run darou in the beginning, I can't do it. Like, ever. So do you sing in japanese, chinese, and korean? I can sing in those, but my biggest problem is korean. Maybe I should post some vids...but i suck T_T. nvm then. I support youuu!

[makaronid]

no, i suck at the high notes. this song is really hard to sing. I sing in J,C (Cantonese and Mandarin), and K, and English too. Korean songs are a lot easier to sing though, I find that it's a lot smoother. But you're young, you will master it better than me when you get to my age. I started to sing for fun since I was 13, but never officially took serious vocal classes. Just practice and find your "true" voice. ^_^

[banjokazzoiegl013]

you were really good , I loved your voice ^.^ good job !

[incompetentidiots]

augh, my ears are ruined for life

[wanxin99]

err?? u tis is not a minus 1 track rite? that means still got the singer singing rite? actually not bad le lah... jy ^^

[CryingInTheRainNow]

What do you mean, you know you're fat? You're not, seriously, you should stop bringing yourself down like that. Think about the fact that you can sing like THAT. wow. =)

[makaronid]

hehe...thanks...but i have to improve still...maybe i'll record a version without another's vocal...i still need to practice after all this time

[bass3114]

good job .your japanses is pretty good.

keep practicing dude!

[whateveruwant13]

ur not fat! and the camera adds ten pounds to everyone! and ur a really good singer!

[Matchez93]

You aren't fat. lol

Your really pretty. ^^

And.

You did a great job. :]

I sing this.. In the privacy of my shower.. LOL But your good. ^^

[ChrmdThree]

lol ^^ good luck !

[ChrmdThree]

uhm...the japanese is kinda bad...but ur voice is cute..:D

[makaronid]

thanks...japanese is not my best language~ i'll practice some more...^_^

[LightHawkAlchemist]

No problem

[LightHawkAlchemist]

Your cute, i was more interested in looking at you to be honest.

[makaronid]

oh wow...thanks...

[jebi1]

Please don't think you're fat! You're beautiful-->you have such a nice face and wonderful hair! Just have confidence and be yourself, and you will automatically shine! I wanted to make a cover of this song too, but I couldn't reach the low (or the high) notes; LOL (I don't know if I suck at singing, but I love it, so I do it for my own pleasure)! You did a great job! ;)

[makaronid]

thanks, i'm beginning to build up more confidence now.

[jebi1]

Then, you're on the right way! Fighting! ;)

[oldgordo61]

Nice voice nice song. And you are definitely not fat, in fact you are very pretty.

Don't worry about what others think about you look or how you sing, be true to yourself and keep following your dream!

[alignated]

I love your voice. <3 And you're not fat, you're beautiful. :D

I wish I had a vocal teacher. xD;

[flipmode7o2]

cute face + beautiful singing = priceless

[najjems]

opening your mouth makes you pronounce the vowels better, meaning you won't be eating the song up. plus, looking at how you sing, you seem to be using your throat more rather than the diaphragm. practice makes perfect!

and yeah, try to get the instrumental of this, it's hard to hear your voice when there's another one blocking it out. ^_^

[DeMichTrev]

I don't think your as good as you seem to think that you are...

[makaronid]

i didn't say that i was good

[heart06memory09]

don't mind those who criticize you.. for me, your good enough..

[helenagunther]

You asked for some tips to sing lower notes... Well I sing also, and I think I may have some for you! If you'd like to talk about singing, leave me your MSN. Maybe we can exchange some techniques. iD

[gersing]

great song and great vocal..

[ewanpota]

hey id like to know where u are from..

nice voice huh.. and pretty face too..

[yugiohtay]

hey could you please sing every heart? oh and good voice

[Kinuto]

Simply wonderful.

[jerrybob18]

ooh, excellent! and u are NOT fat!

[kairi15namine]

good

[RinoaxFei]

i like ur voice^^ luv utadas songs and like to sing it^^

btw u looks cute^.~

[Estrelinah]

Who was the guy in the background? XD

[makaronid]

my dad

[stevelau1911]

i respect performannce for showing face gj

[brokenheartboy]

ok now try it with the helium!! =D

[skip2mylou123]

ur voice is more like the english version a lot deeper..haha good try!

[inuyashaobsesser101]

Hey, don't call her chubby. That's rude. And your voice is very pretty.

[mansiman24]

Go Chubby... you sing well. Your voice is cute and sweet..Perhaps you can try without music. Accompaniment by piano will be good enough so that your voice will be projected well. Try it out. You might notice your voice as you sing.

[OrihimeLuv3r]

your voice is too deep for this song. but good job?

[Sunghan90]

hey what is this called? i remember hearing this a while back.

nice singing =]

[makaronid]

First Love by Utada Hikaru, my favorite by her.

[ichbineinbanana]

sometimes you just can't get down. some people are built for it, some other people it takes a lot of practice. just keep work on it! and you were a little shrill at the high notes but that's ok!

[kaykayrocks101]

Um.. No offense at all.. But it sort of sounds like you're singing through your nose. Other than that. It's awesome!

[taylorkabaylor]

try putting you hand on your stomach instead... idk how that helps but it usually does ^^

[gbail9566]

What a sultry voice! You are beautiful! The technical part from your vocal coach sounds very difficult, but maybe not...part of it is just relaxing your facial muscles, perhaps. It could help you hit the lower notes by opening your mouth more, but it probably feels unnatural. I tried it singing in church and was blown away! My mom had a choir director who had a nifty approach; start out by practicing speaking your vowel sounds, just to get used to how it feels without music.

[yuzukiandminoru]

wow, you're soo good

[makaronid]

thanks. i just wish that the music didn't have the other singer singing as well.

[summerloveee]

this song might as well be yours!!

[makaronid]

thanks, but i wish i did better.

[BlueangelM]

I fell in love with this song. its so sweet.. and you sang it pretty good..

[kaori0chan]

i think it's pretty well ^^

[Hotgimmicklover07]

Despite what they said you were OK, definetly not great.

[makaronid]

thanks, at least it's not terrible.

[matrix316]

Good Job

[Jushkabob]

WHOA! YOU CAN REALLY SING! @_@

You're not fat, you're normal. Even if you do consider yourself big, well then you're the big girl with an even bigger voice. You have a beautiful face and even a more beautiful voice. Keep on singing! ♥

[makaronid]

thanks...i'm not really good at singing though. for some reason, this song really brought out my voice. it's not entirely my own voice, user damulgun's voice is in the background which adds on to make my voice sound better. you should check out her video of First Love...she's really good~

[sukimaus]

wow o_O

i was shocked because at first i thought you are hikaru.. :)

your voice is soo fantastic, demonstrative and so lovingly. And your face... soo sweet and sooo handsome :) Would you be so good as to smile more often..? :) i love you smile, it is so sweet, really :)

[makaronid]

thanks. no i'm not utada hikaru...hehehe...i wish i sang as well as her...i do like to smile a lot, but this song is so sad that i can't really smile. it kind of ruins the mood

[rek0727]

i think this song really suits your voice! ^--^

[makaronid]

i had the same thought too...with more practice...i might be able to nail this song. I do want to sing this song without the background vocal, but i can't find the instrumental version. I had to sing louder than normal, so that I can't hear the other singer that much.

[luciacatz1]

well we're not supposed to hear the other singer are we? i mean we're watching this to hear you sing^^ and yeah, open that mouth a lil more coz it helps

[makaronid]

but can you still hear my voice more than the other singer?

[luciacatz1]

just about XD
