When I was about 15 years old I found myself checking out a fast growing popular site called YouTube. I came across this video and was inspired to make videos of my own. It's 3 years later, I have over 4,000 subscribers, and am close to succeeding in my music career. It's all thanks to this woman right here.

Thank you, you helped me find myself.

[ningyoko]

@JennaAnne1026 You are incredibly talented, that is why you are succeeding. Glad to be a little part of it and congrats on your success! <3

[pjacobo]

a beautiful original song, and you sing wonderfully - what's going on with your singing career?

[PaperKatana]

I stopped when I heard the line, "tie me back down to the earth". It's from Dance dance dance, the Haruki Murakami book, isn't it? It's one of the most compelling books I've ever read and it's great, feeling the same way when I hear this song.

[ningyoko]

@PaperKatana Thank you so much (belatedly) I haven't read that one, which is crazy because I have read two by him. I wrote this song years before I would ever know the name of Haruki Murakami, but now I'll have to read it since we share the same lines!

[twirlyboggs]

great song

[juniorloz]

you have a sweet smile!!! And quite a beautiful stare!

[mysticangelheart]

her voice is so beatiful !

[hongfog]

Have you still stayed in Japan?

Where do you hear your song?

[pMLbAnD1994]

this great! you are awesome!

[sakoboy]

Nice Job miss. Kudos!

[Dahalx]

It's a sweet song. Keep singing.

[Oliy92466]

Великолепно!!!

[laurenefletcher]

Just wanted to let u know how much I loved ur song. It sounds so effortless and I u have a very unique style =) I'd love ur opinion on my original song if u don't mind. Thanks

[feefoofii]

this touched me. i needed to hear this. you must hear(t) this song.

[FuNKyFeelZ]

Great voice and background

[alcolol]

aghh

[Jtechone]

I just don't understand how you can abandon us like that, I wish you could tell us that you are doing fine, miss your singing.

[designrockstar]

I love you.

[WakeUpEveryone]

Thank You.

[evenett87]

:)

RELAJANTE

[rickoglesbee]

Outstanding video. You need to be picked up by a record company. I know you would take off. I hope you have a wonderful life Ningyoko.

[rorylegend12]

She has no guy cuz she got dumped or sunthing my proof is why would she put this up on youtube for pervs to stalk her i feel sorry for her

[gezusmofo]

To share the song/performance? It's a way more direct and logical reason than "so people can stalk her because she's boyfriendless."

[dani8780]

fuck

[Powderfinger07]

Maybe she got tired of being cyberstalked by youtube pervs???

[KOJINTEKI12]

why are you in japan?

[SuperLeandro24]

owesome song

how are you..'«

[hungvuhungvu]

Has anyone reported this to the police in Japan? i think something has gone seriously wrong. It appears this song was a cry for help. Does anyone know what has happened to her? This is not natural for someone to just disappear like this and I'm afraid something serious has occured.

[hungvuhungvu]

First time to see her and I'm confused.

Why does she look Caucasian but in a Japanese city and in a a Japanese style home? How old is she? Is she famous or something?

Is she from the South originally in the U.S.?

[youhaveimaginitis]

She is Caucasian, she moved to Japan, but I don't think permanently. I'm not sure how old, in her 20's?? She's trying to be famous, hence the youtube videos!

[hungvuhungvu]

Okay; thank you. Do you know what happened to her? Is she safe and well? Or posting under another ID? She hasn't posted for like a year now. It is kind of depressing when this happens. It is like something that makes you happy and enjoy life a little disappears and you realize they will never be back....

[youhaveimaginitis]

nope, i have been wondering just the same as you....You are exactly right, she is my favorite singer; I really wish she would make more videos, or at the very least sign in so we know she is ok!

[ningyoko]

Wow, so...I log in after forever--after a LOT of changes only to see such sweet comments. I'm touched, you are both awesome. btw I laughed when I saw your name "youhaveimaginitis" that's a good one ^_^

[youhaveimaginitis]

aw thanks. finally somebody gets it! :)

I, personally, am very happy to hear from you! I'm totally gonna buy your cd lol

Will it have the songs from your videos??

[Steppid]

SO many questions! Is there somewhere on the net you live thesedays? Are you still recording? SO happy to know youre alive! XXXX

[GroovyGuitar02]

i could feel the song in me .

feel the "pensive & frustated" feeling . you rock !

moreover you are beautiful , but you are really talented and that's what matters ... and have a good mastery of the 6-string beast . you are just plain amazing ...

[Jhanni]

I know :( I check her page every now and then. when will she come back?

[dovermoreno]

I wish ningyoko would just log in or something.

I tend to think the worse when faced with the unknown. You know, if the wife is late coming home from the store in a thunderstorm.......I always think she was in an accident.

Just a quick login would be sufficient, you know what I mean ?

[MooMooNoi]

nice voice

[DavePerry2012]

Why is she not around any more?

[jg61163]

She vanished! Much missed! Last email I recieved from her was over a year ago... Come back our Sunshine, Thanx...

[ShiekUrBooty]

Contributing to 1 million views!

Look away! No, look!

[thomasjcogger]

This is beautiful!

[4141440]

my 4 month old sitting on my lap is quieted by this song. He reacts this way with one Ingrid Michaelson song. The Way I Am- I assumed it was the base in that song but this song has no base. We both love it.

[saymoo]

Oh dear, where have you gone? This song is so unique, it screams with your signature trait of not being afraid of who you are and just sharing that with the world, thank you so much!

[Steppid]

Does anybody know what became of this wonderful girl?

This song is world class excellence and I cant stop thinking about it for ages now.

[ShiekUrBooty]

Revisited and still this song is hauntingly captivating.

Thanks!

[Artmic8neo]

Hello.

n!?Do you live in Japan?

You are sitting on "TATAMI".

Very nice music.

(＾＿＾)

[bonzelite]

that's totally fantastic; do more

[MarcusMoonlight]

absolutely great, 1.000.000 stars for you, Marcus

[movieman789123]

Hey girl, you have a unique and beautiful voice, a young Suzzane Vega comes to mind, keep up the good work!

[suttersmax]

Good start, but it lacks the quality of music that resonates with people.

[apmproductions18018]

yeah first 16 seconds was the best part of this video

[Fioredineve9]

Great :)

[pickalobob]

How can I get an mp3?!!

[pickalobob]

Hey, you're not dead or anything are you? Havent posted anything in a while, just checking up on you. Love the song!!

[jamesmaycryevil]

stunned by the first 16 seconds *.*

[no1bobbob]

great job (^_^) thanks !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[kindertoten]

That was gorgeous.  Always a pleasure to enjoy your music.

[intevai]

yeesh

I dont think the notes your singing go with the bizzaro chords you play on guitar.

[yorkie2014]

amazing voice, ive got almost the same tatami room.hard to keep clean eh.

[harua16]

Your voice makes me think about Jewel...

[Syokker01]

Voice is beautiful!!

And, very cute and nice.

[cheaphardwarez]

I can not quite put my finger on it, but you are different and special; utsukushii!

[greggacemusic]

sweet voice...dream-meeeeeeee

[Steppid]

jeezus. What a wonderful thing you tube is. I can sit here in my home in Cairns Australia and be entertained with such eclectic beauty and originality at the touch of a button and none of it involved an interfering producer or recording moguls blathering influence, and yet its more beautiful than anything they could produce. Its worth celebrating, this final freedom we have achieved in our last days. Hoorah you Ningyoko and hoorah all you folk who love her work too. Lets get hot tub fuzzy

[Kikalani]

Excellent.

[TrashChica]

why arent you famous?! so unbelievable beautiful!

[enroserie]

INCREDIBLE! =)

[akm5683]

beautiful voice, So much talent.

[mirella514]

You have such a beautiful voice and a style all your own, 5 stars!

[boppN]

good to see some other women playing on here :) very nice

[edsjocky]

i love you .. will you marry me

[Corcodel3]

WTG, I'm a guitar player as well. Keep 'em coming. U rock :)

[Omela2514]

You are amazing!!!

[TheRaymies]

Very nice! Come by and visit our all girl band when you get a chance. Beautiful voice!!

xoxo The Raymies xoxo

[hl0984]

what kind of pants are you wearing??

[Dwuimienny]

I listened to you one year ago and I was delighted when I have heard for the first time. After a while this song is still moving me.

Ningyoko why you haven't recorded anything for a long time? Something happened?

Best wishes from Poland

[osucpalaw]

She's great! I swear that was was my apartment in Kyoto

[xxnl510xx]

what talent!

[OsvaldoTorres85]

aun que sea mexicano como me gusto tu cancion que hermosa voz

[SLagonia]

Well, if the music thing doesn't work out, contact me about acting.

[mrgeorgemoon]

I miss her . . . come back, Ningyoko

[derek8809]

[YourSoWrong]

-Alec Fleming

[aracelina18]

Beautiful voice.

5*****

[jamwithdeano]

Thats a cool song really like it nice voice aswell sweet sounding Dean James

[londonluver8]

Not funny. Not even. If sex is all you're interested in, go look at porn or something. That's really distasteful to say.

[weeweepad]

What the heck happened to this girl..

[Kovacnz]

I know! She logs in every now and again but we don't get any updates. I'm just hoping that she is working on some new material or working toward putting some music on the itunes store.

[hpphrtswlcm]

you have a beautiful voice

[cfarnelli]

I play this video/song so often I feel I owe you some money.

You, Clutch, Kate Bush, AC/DC and every other musician I listen to on here without them getting a penny for it. Soz to y'all.

[clayLavl]

excellent!

[gaijindo]

Great as always!

[Vaturo]

Very nice song and a beautiful voice

[weeweepad]

Hello, What model Yamaha acoustic guitar are you using here? Thanks

[XPanicXobsessedX]

little lost sister!! :-)

[goforth20]

Have you a new name for your musician self?  I just thought if I searched a new official name I might find some new videos by you. Wishing you & Ryan the best. I listen to your Queens Anne's Lace every few days. I visited my Grandson at church today & they sang I'll Fly Away. Your QAL makes me feel close to my husband, who died ten months ago. Thanks, a fan:) darlene

[coolstuff2003ad]

[Kovacnz]

Not all that far away from a million views :) Awesome

[Regeuser]

Are you shitting me? 901,000 views for this?? Complete mediocrity.

[Iztiak]

Do something better, post it.

Then, and only then can you complain.

[ShiekUrBooty]

Ha, your family possessed weak DNA anyway...hopefully you'll follow them into the abyss of dead retards or you'll be sent there by the electric chair. Either way, it doesn't matter to me just so long as you don't procreate again.

[ShiekUrBooty]

:0)

[aug2906]

this was amazing, almost a sweet suddle alanis morisette. I loved it

[gl1200phil]

(to goldenfart who's tirade reeks of envy)

are we a little jealous?? harbouring such hate and anger will be the death of you!! it will eat you up from the inside and show its face as cancer, ulcers, mental illness or maybe even killer hemmorrhoids. it might not be to late for an exorcism. for you, it would never be to late for suicide. PEACE give mom my love,phil

[gl1200phil]

please check out Jauz's video response. he made his own arrangement and laid it with Ningyo's original. it really is beautiful and lush. it enhances the original without detracting from the talented Ningyo's simple emotional styling!! our Mexican AMIGO is very talented by his own right! PEACE felipe el viejo hippie

[gl1200phil]

this is the most powerful performance i have seen on Utube. makes my eyes wanna leak. my words can't do justice....unbelievably beautiful peace-old hippie

[ReccaK]

Awesome!

[Pilostros]

good work ★★★★★!!

[purplefloyd909]

the voice was the recorded part

[goforth20]

I just love your presence, your lyrics, your voice, simple honesty, love it. Your eyes are wonderful. My son just came by and said 'what ya doin? watching your grapefruit girl?' & he said to say 'hey' to you. I smile when I watch you and he likes to see me smile :D

[ShiekUrBooty]

"in five minutes it might be a lie"

No it wont!

I still love this video! :0)

[casmash79]

love ya work, love u, love life its the best way 4 all

[Sparkzter]

What can I say? Good voice, u sound like Jewel. Great song, just remember, ur voice is powerful enuff, back away a few steps from the mic.. Love ur work.. Cheers

[RumiDog]

You sing just fine,...some people just suck at listening....

i'm inspired tho,...maybe to put my first recording up here....

[ThatFoolishBoy]

Ok honest good lyrics but you might want to run through it a few more times and polish it a little. But thank you for posting!

[Cruchz]

u suck @ singing... but so do I.

but ur rly pretty and i like your food videos alot pls make more!

(u prolly hate me now and wont, but pls do!)

[jesusmohammed]

EEE. With the views I was expecting more. Not a bad song, but voice goes flat a few places. You should redo it, nail it, then repost. I would still do you though.

[ShiekUrBooty]

I still love this video.

[sleepingDonkey]

yo mero one of the best song ho, katee ramro! it cud have been better but its still good!

[Piece0fMyMind]

The lyrics are fantastic, the tune is horrible.

[bobbys12]

I'm afraid I must agree. The chords are kind of annoying.  In her defense, however, I'm pretty sure she never even touched a guitar before deciding to make this video. It's somewhat impressive, really.

[gl1200phil]

incredible talent. voice so pure and expressive. deserving of great acclaim!!! pay attention...we can claim we knew her when she was on utube!!!

[drthed]

Nice song and voice.

Check this out:

"Strange things happen when you love" by the Handsome Brothers.

I think you'll like it.

[sr3ap3r]

the song's not the only thing i like about

her!

[uwishme]

good song

[YamatoSpirits]

WOW! What a beautiful voice!

[W1NT3RMU7E]

I can't believe the self righteous onslaught of ingnorance that resides in this thread. Not only do you have a crisply captivating voice and wistful countenance, but it is easy to believe you have something your harsh critics will never possess let alone understand: a beautiful soul.

I love the lyrics, please don't stop creating!

[justKeely]

cool you have the same pillow as me lol!!GREEN TOO!!!LOL

[DERIAMETAL]

Good video!

I hope you like my experimental videos ;0)

Greetings from spain!!!

[GrayLeopard379]

this is lovely. you'll be making a CD, right?!?!

[mindfulmusic78]

you are simply amazing!

[Joeblueray]

Hello There,

You have a beautiful voice! I can put on my headset, close my eyes and relax and just listen to the beautiful music you make. Keep up the good work.

[Vallust]

i feel asleep, good or bad sign?

[ShiekUrBooty]

"look away!"

I love this video.

[MySongsPhil]

you're neat

[metex75x]

hi grup etken listen please thanks

[ShiekUrBooty]

"...forget what I said, forget all of me, because in five minutes it might be a lie..."

Hahahaha, I love this.

[rhopen]

Very very good lyrically and interesting musically. Nice guitar playing too... -Ron

[jecoeurtoipas]

goosebumps, girl...

goosebumps!

i totally want to be you. in beautiful japan, singing beautifully, looking beautiful!

[JesseGuitar07]

sweet

5/5

[ricekenn]

Very nice. A deeper tone on the guitar to contrast the voice, maybe.

Very 'Fiona' like.

[IrlylikeInFlames]

I liked this song because I actually was able to interpret what you may have wanted to say. I thought it was about how people are generally avoid saying what they really feel in order to be polite or to avert hurting someone else's feelings. In that sense, a lack of adornment or sincerity would scare a good amount of people. 5 Stars :D

[IANinALTONA]

sweet li'l song.

[dnk12344]

why is she in japan or whatever yall r talking about. she looks and sounds american to me.

[jelly17000]

You can live in Japan and not be Japanese.. :O

[0SweetPucky0]

oh i can´t find words you can sing so beautiful :P

[lysolbombs470]

why are people saying what needs work and what doesn't? This is the original. This is just simple and beautiful. Sit back and relax and enjoy it.

[Gosling3]

You should have sing at the stage or studio instead of tatami room. Nice to see you are in Japan and near my town! It would be nice if I see you on stage.

[woodessence]

...unadornment is a very freeing grace...

[woodessence]

I understand complete unadornment, and I like.
