I just saw this now. What an awesome song! Really love it. I have a question as well, the first scene as the movie starts out, where is that? I got a flashback from my Japan travels... Could it by any chance be out on Niijima? Probably it's not I guess, but thats what my head felt -.-
@Monscent I never got to go to Niijima. That must have been a wonderful experience for you! The night scene of me is outside of a park in Chiba, then somewhere near Asakusa-jinja, then several shots of Kamakura. The whole thing is interlaced with a roller coaster ride at Tokyo Disney ^_^ Ahhh...good memories!
I still watch your vids and remember my time in that wonderful county. Iv been seeing you here for a year or so now and you always cheer me up,
May God bless you ningyoko. Please continue to live that exciting life and never loose your awe! Be true to your self and stay out of the darness of this world.
Its beautiful where you live. This Japan right? If so your richer than me. I'm living in the slums of sacramento. I know huh? Real classy. I'm from south australia but some how wound up here. I'm looking to go somewhere beautiful, so yeah, If someone who knows if this is Japan and where in Japan it is plz email me.
Omg! I luv this song! Amazing! My name is Melissa and i decided 2 look up my name and i found this! Can u give me the tabs so I can play it for my friends cause it is amazing! It is so wierd cause I'm 13! so cool!
This is my new favorite song to let you know, and will be for a while, it's so beautiful and in depth, is this on the CD or in iTunes? I would love to download it or buy the CD please, if you have any info about the Song and how it's availible please let me know it's so amazing :)
I love this song so much. This is not the type of music I would normally listen to, but this song gives me chills. You have an amazing voice. My daughter is named Melissa as well, so it really touches me. This is by far my favorite song of yours so far. I will keep checking on your progress. You have a great soul. Good luck to you.
you are amazing, and a darling!!!! i LOVE your style of music! it's beautiful and something uniquely different from the other stuff that's out here today. so pure, simple, and beautiful. keep writing!! :) :) :)
Pure, melodic, wonderful. I am really not able to put into words how your songs affect me. Your soul is beautiful. You are a very blessed young woman. Don't ever throw away your spirit.
I have listened to many songs, and I can safely say this is one of the greatest songs I've ever heard. There are teams of song writers in various record companies who wish they could write a song a fraction as moving as Melissa.
Wow, that's cool cause I'm a little sister whose name is Melissa, but I know my sister doesn't care enough about me to actually write a song about how special she thinks I am. Your little sister is lucky.
you are so stinkin' cute! i wonder, since you are in japan, have you ever thought of taking up the shamisen? i've always wanted to, you should think about giving it a go!
I have TOTALLY thought of taking up the shamisen, since I don't find the lack of frets intimidating at all. I'm going to try to build one from a coffee can and wood, like they had in the music shops in my town!
Also I've tried the koto, which sounds amazing in a large group, but is too huge for my apartment ._.
Such a beautiful and heartfelt song. I am in total awe of your talent. I've been playing guitar and singing for a little while now - you are a real inspiration to me
OMG WONDERLAND!!! XDD I loved that rollercoster...sept the first time I was on it so old fat person was beside me on the right and we were in the middle and when it whent to stop we were kinda leaning to the left and poor me got REALLY squished ....and It hurt ..NEVER SIT NEXT TO FAT OLD PEOPLE ON RIDES
your relationship with your sister must be great in order to write a song just about her. amazing.. i want to do something like that.. i just wish i had a sister :D keep it up! :D
OUTSTANDING! You have honored your sister Melissa quite nicely. She must be as proud of you as you are of her. (Guitar work on this is really tight. The vocal, as usual for you, is amazing.)
And one of the better homemade music videos I've seen too.
Don't be put down by negative comments that you're bound get when you got featured, there are a lot of people with too much time on their hands that like to bash and flame others.
Since the first time I saw ur video I had that felling when someone reminds u of someone else but you don't know who. Until I saw "miss potter" yesterday and realize who: emily watson
Nice song! In a way, you sound like a mix between Alison Krauss and Ani DiFranco...a great place to be. Check out my original song "Chance" if you have time - maybe you'd enjoy it.
That. Is. VERY. cool ^_^ Thanks a lot, I do like Ani, but for sure want to be softer and sweeter like Alison Krauss. Thanks for making my day.
Oh, and I checked out your song "Chance." My comment was confusing, so if you don't understand anything I wrote on your page, know that my main meaning was: You're such a great song writer!
I'm more than 1/2 Irish, then there's a sprinkling of German, a pinch of Native American, and a teensy smidgen of French, Swedish, Polish and possibly other areas of Europe. ^_^
You have a wonderful voices. It's one of a kind :)
I want to ask you something. I've just made a new group called 'Women with a voice'. It's especially for women with lovely voices from all around the world who want to share their beautiful voices with the whole world. Join if you like!
Fantastic voice and very nice song. Guitar lead at the beginning was a bit off, but otherwise music was fantastic. Video was cute. You should be proud.
Brilliant camera work. Love the night time shots--especially with the moon in the background! (Although it looks the same as a street light with the compression) PLZ come out with a CD! Or sell on iTunes!
