@StrawberriKissxX Black descent yes, African American no. African American in most cases refers directly to those of Black American nationality/ethnicity.
@StrawberriKissxX her race is Melanesian. If that's what you mean by black decent. If you were to compare African and Melanesian genome they are not the same. Melanesian is completely different and entirely it's own race.
Her mannerisms are that of a brown american woman, in other words, a so called african american. Regardless, her japanese upbringing rises to the surface showcasing a feminine glow that is blinding...
I wish I knew what you were saying. But wow, you have a strong soulful voice. This girl needs to make an english album in the States! Utada Who? You sound wayyyyyy better! : )
@toffecrunch Yes, papa na mama bilong em bin brukim marit taim em i bin liklik yet. Tasol em i no lusim tintin long side bilong papa bilong em, taim bilong independence day em save singim national anthem long PNG Embassy hia long Japan.
Interesting: actually you expect to see a guy about whom she sings. But, as I guess the video is shot in Japan, they don't show her "lover" because they would have to take a japanese man and probably the producers thought, this would not fit. It's just a very strong assumption I have.
im sorry but the dirrector of this MV should be sacked !! i mean the video is just of her sitting on some plastic chair in the QUIET beach wit 2or 3 ppl standing in the sea and a random bird just flying acrross the sky and a few fire works near the end !! come on , they could have done justice to the video..
anyway is a cool sng and her contrast album totally rocked : )
I would like to say shes spanish and she just learned japanese, I'm only saying that because i have a friend who looks exactly like her but shes from Honduras
OMG! She is flipping GORGEOUS! It is indeed good to see a black female who is bilingual. hottest thing ever. I don't care if she's half...that's awesome ;)
Fellow youtube user, having seen many such comments 'correcting' people as to certain peoples' ethnic origins, I have only the following to say to you:
yeah yeah Whats popping fellas? she straight. She looke more blk lady to me. when I was young, I aint seen any mixed kid like her in japan. Things been changed I guess.
Cool to see stuff like this. I'm 1/2 myself (blackanese as someone put it) & didn't get the chance to learn the language so it's nice to see the younger gen learn it!
@famitsudc she is still black. that is her race. PNG is her ethnicity. as in asian is a race but japanese is an ethnicity. black doesnt auto mean african. im black but my ethnicity is trinidadian.
@puuchuu1 let me clear something up for you. the color "black" is not a race. Her race is Melanesian and Asian. Papua New Guinea and Japanese are her ethnicity.
@StrawberriKissxX That race is Melanesian. Not African, not African American or any other black race. She is Melanesian and that is entirely a race completely different to any other race.
shes got a beautiful voice. u can obviously compare her to crystal kay due to the same background similarities and the english in their songs and also their musical stylings but i think they sound different. crystal kay can belt it out while emi maria and sell u with a good beat and sing with a natural voice
Whats wrong with the other side of her face lol?!! Why arent they showing it hardly. She's really pretty so they should have gotten a beauty shot instead of profile...Song is cute as hell. I like her voice. And I love that shirt!!
