March 18th, 2008 at 4:43 pm
great song! glad you were finally able to upload a vid!
hope you get better soon kina!
ps. hi emi!
March 18th, 2008 at 4:45 pm
yayyy!!!!
im currently at work right now…but wow, a trip to the back warehouse to watch this video was worth it!
this has got to be THE CUTEST youtube video everrr!! You and Emi were just OH SO adorable!
The whole outdoor theme was beautiful. Except for the bugs that were attacking you during you performance. YET, still cute overall!!
this just makes my tuesday so much better!
p.s.
@ Kina - I sent you an email regarding some business. =)
March 18th, 2008 at 4:46 pm
Hi Kina and Emi!
This was so beautiful<3 I love the harmony, the singing, and the bloopers hahha!! I am seriously laughing out loud…you guys are so cute.
Annndd thankyou for wishing me a happy bday ! I don’t think I can be any more estatic, seriously, it made my day! You guys pronounced my name right the second time!!
I feel really bad because my youtube username is exhilaratedxd; I asked twice because I didn’t think with all the comments and requests you received that you were going to actually read it, so thanks for that too! (sorry) <33
Anyway, I hope you feel better Kina, and that you had a great time in Texas!!
Much love,
Elina
March 18th, 2008 at 4:48 pm
I was on an unintentional roll. :(
March 18th, 2008 at 4:48 pm
:)
March 18th, 2008 at 4:48 pm
Totally awesome!
hehe…you two have the same mannerisms…soo cool! =)
but where’s your other sister??
it’d be cool if you did another video with her as well! =) hehehe
much love to emi!
awesome voices!
March 18th, 2008 at 4:51 pm
Great video…you two are just too cute! Loved the bloopers!
Hope you are feeling better!!

March 18th, 2008 at 4:55 pm

im currently at work right now…but wow, a trip to the back warehouse to watch this video was worth it!
Ok, so thank you sooo much first and formost…to put it simple (since im trying to rush this at work.) CUTE CUTE CUTE…the whole thing was cute and oh so adorable. The outdoor theme was very beautiful!!
good luck tonight, and hope you feel better! (even though you so very veryy adorable when you nasalyy)
p.s.
@ Kina - i sent you an email regarding some business.
March 18th, 2008 at 4:57 pm
worth waiting for!
March 18th, 2008 at 4:57 pm
Wow you two are crazy. :3
March 18th, 2008 at 5:07 pm
i have the sudden urge to go buy some pushpins..!
March 18th, 2008 at 5:21 pm
Easily the funniest video yet.
:)
March 18th, 2008 at 5:42 pm
did you really say “SoLow’s dead”? Ewww…. and what was that about snake guts? Hey, are there any peppy covers out there that you can do?
March 18th, 2008 at 5:44 pm
hahahahhahahha, that was awesome.
before i knew what the shaker was made out of i was like “ooooooo a shaker! neato!” but after i found out what it was made out of i was like “oooooo advil! tastes like candy for about 15 seconds!”
wow, i love family and seeing family together and laughing, it’s so crazy cool and awesomeness.
during the video i was like “what if kina is actually a video nazi and reprimands those who mess up and make bloopers?” then i laughed. well it was more like a chuckle and a head shake as if to say “now that’s a silly thought, to see kina like a fascist dictator, reprimanding misa and/or emi.” that would actually be funny to me cuz we all know you’re a gentle soul kina!
anyways, i loved the song cuz it was so chill and it was nice to see/hear one of your siblings in the video again! all of you grannis girls are so pretty and sound pretty too =)
i demand more colabs. that is all, the end.
later days,
jRo
@ misa
i found your youtube i think. i like your videos (i like to dance too lol)
@ mama g
way to be F1RST!!!1!!
mama g ftw
March 18th, 2008 at 6:03 pm
OMG I couldn’t stop laughing at the end….that was so funny….Thank you fo that…just what I needed….such a icky day out today…great way to end the day.
You and Emi are just too funny….looks like you had a great time..
How do people get you to do shout outs?
did I ever mention that there is someone in my Math class that reminds me of you…don’t know why…maybe its the hair…idk…but she does.
lol….that was a great blog…still laughing a little thinking about it.
March 18th, 2008 at 6:38 pm
kina, how do you manage to outdo yourself every week!?! i absolutely LOVE this one haha. you guys are sooooo funny together, just like your other videos with emi. the change of scenery was nice, too. i don’t even know where to begin about this video. kina, emi, bugs, shaker guts, weepies, candles and laughter and such. all ingredients for a great video. that was so worth the wait, kina.
you know what’s funny, it’s my Pam’s birthday on thursday. once i saw the bday part i was like “CRAP I SHOULD OF TOLD HER TO GIVE A BDAY SHOUT TO PAM!”. But you fixed it = P . so, more points for you!
remember when i said that I could wait forever for another video and be satisfied? after this one, i don’t know if i can wait forever anymore. haha. sorry, i’m greeeedy.
lovely day for all of us. however, i must part for i must continue editing. *_~
March 18th, 2008 at 6:48 pm
so you two are awesome. and i miss you people. whole family included. so when i get back this summer, i want to hear some coffee shop music and go swing dancing again, and again, and again. im a tad bit hooked now. or again. but even more so than in high school.
song was awesome. awkwardness was nostalgic.
and ive been spreading the word on Kina around here as usual. and im pretty sure there was something else to say, but ive blanked…
March 18th, 2008 at 6:58 pm
Hi Emi!
You two make an awesome duo. But you know I have to ask… was there St. Patrick’s festivities right before this? ;P
Love it!
March 18th, 2008 at 7:00 pm
nice calming song
it was weird today in gov(with mr sayles) me and some friends were sitting there and looking at all the cross country team pictures, trying to spot people from a long time ago that look like people we know now, and then we found you and your sister. it was pretty random but also epic.
thanks
dhruv
March 18th, 2008 at 7:05 pm
Thanks for the warning! Luckily Kina & Emi nutty = lots of smiles, laughter, and lots of fun! Great video, lovely shaker. :o)
I was going to request a cover of The Wreckers’ “Tennessee” but like your mom said, maybe a more peppy cover is in store for the future.
Hi Emi!
Have fun packing!
March 18th, 2008 at 7:44 pm
Definitely nutty! Poor Kina… get that girl a tissue! Nice to see Emi singing along! Get better soon!
March 18th, 2008 at 7:56 pm
hahahaha that was awesome!!!
worth the wait. and the annoying internet. [both yours and mine. mine kept freezing!!!]
song was awesome as usual, and the bloopers were hilarious!
March 18th, 2008 at 8:09 pm
Hilarious! I really enjoyed it. Kina you and Emi were excellent. I hope you are feeling better today. Hope you all have a great week.
March 18th, 2008 at 8:12 pm
Haha, I’m sorta having a Kina day today. I was wandering around Youtube today, which led to the Youtube awards, which led to watching singers, which led to thinking “Who was that girl from that Super Bowl ad?,” which led to you (and also a craving for Doritos), which led to your Youtube page, which led to your Facebook page, which led to this blog, which led to me watching/reading lots of things with no capitalization (poor under-used pinkies), which led to run-on sentences and this comment. All of that to say this, have a nice day, and congrats on all your success!
March 18th, 2008 at 8:35 pm
HEY KINA AND EMI!!!
@ kina - Best video EVER!!! made me laugh out loud and smile lots :)
@ mama g - GO YOU for being first!!
I have never heard this song before and its really awesome! thanks kina!
March 18th, 2008 at 8:45 pm
you can read minds too..?
haha, i was trying to figure out what emi was playing the whole time. hmm…tambourine, key chain, bells, baby rattle? i was even watching her arm to see if i could see what it was.
i was all ready to comment and ask “what was that?”. and there you are showing the contents of the “shaker”…. you continue to amaze me.
March 18th, 2008 at 9:02 pm
Hahaha, you two are great =). I didn’t know you guys like the Weepies! Great cover!
Haha, the best part was when you told Emi “i’m gonna kill you”. Oh man, I started busting up. So stern!
Oh, and what’s with this dead snake thing? Why would you be sitting in its guts? You must explain…. =).
Thanks you two for the awesome vid. Hope you’re having fun tonight at your farewell show.
March 18th, 2008 at 9:09 pm
I’ve got ‘Genevieve’ in my head. Even though it’s about a cold-hearted woman, the beat is boppin’ and has me smiling singing it out loud.
Which reminds me, who is Genevieve? If not a real person, why the name Genevieve? and (gratuitous compliment question) how much of an amazing song-writer, people-perceptor are you?
hugs
March 18th, 2008 at 9:26 pm
loved it
March 18th, 2008 at 9:28 pm
oh you two. now i’m :D
i think the more you watch this video the funnier it gets. emi just keeps looking at kina and kina ends up looking the other way to avoid laughter. socute. reminds me of Just Stay a Little hehe.
emi’s hello’s always make me laugh. (now it’s “hai” from staystayalittle and an alien “hello” in gottahaveyou)
March 18th, 2008 at 10:23 pm
Wow! You did great. I love this and Emi, you sang beautifully. xoxoxoxox
March 18th, 2008 at 11:58 pm
♥
so silly, yet it couldn’t be any better :)
Also: Miguel Briones lighters!!!!
No wonder it burnt a little ;)
March 19th, 2008 at 12:36 am
Hey Kina, my friends went to see you tonight at the Cactus Cafe and said you blew them away. They loved the show. Hope your cold goes away real soon. Come to Santa Barbara and do a show again!!!
March 19th, 2008 at 12:58 am

WOW. Just a beautiful song and you both are great. Thanks. I hope your doing better with your health Kina.
Enjoy yourself. (”,)
March 19th, 2008 at 3:34 am
Kina, If you get tired of saying “nasal congestion”, you could just say “coryza” (core-eye-zah). That’s the medical term…at least it’s shorter. Hope you’re feeling better! When will you come to St. Louis?
Bryan
March 19th, 2008 at 5:54 am
Loved the outtakes- thanks for including them. It’s awesome to see your silly sides. Loved the song too. You can tell you two were definitely cut from the same mold! Now there’s less time to wait until the next post…
March 19th, 2008 at 10:20 am
Yes. Very yes. Beautiful. So much fun. Great song (I actually knew this one. Rare), well done, hilarious outtakes, totally appropriate threats of violence to sweet Emi, stellar shaker infomercial. One of your best posts.
You should keep the infomercials going. Do book recommendations. I’m always looking for those
March 19th, 2008 at 10:56 am
Hey Kina :) Can I make a request? Maybe you can do a cover of Here Comes the Sun in your future videos. And by the way, thanks for the wonderful song. Your sister is awesome too. Cheers! :)
March 19th, 2008 at 12:49 pm
I like you and I love your songs! You have a beautiful voice! :)
March 19th, 2008 at 1:28 pm
cant…stop…listening.
March 19th, 2008 at 1:53 pm
Wow… that was great. You two are really wonderful together; will we be looking for Emi’s career to take off soon? The only thing missing was Misa there to help harmonize and cut your hair. Thanks again for giving us such a wonderful treat.
And IN thanks… Kina, Emi… here’s a little present, just for you.
-wwar1ace
March 19th, 2008 at 2:29 pm
Ok, after seeing so many put their creative spin on Kina’s works I couldn’t resist doing something myself. I’ve taken the Emi-Kina picture and turned it into something that will challenge your perceptions and quite possibly blow your minds. Here it is:

;)
March 19th, 2008 at 2:37 pm
that is simply genius = )
March 19th, 2008 at 3:51 pm
certainly *turned* it alright.
March 19th, 2008 at 5:07 pm
ooh oh oh!! I second the request for Here Comes the Sun
=)
March 19th, 2008 at 6:57 pm
That was a nice video :D You and your sisters are so pretty and sound VERY good :D I hope you make more Jason Mraz Covers :P
Just found an error on your site :P When you go to the Photos section, then click on the thingie that would bring you to the show pics, the link that says ‘return to main gallery…” is not working properly since it has the wrong link,(if you click it, it would return a 404 error [page cannot be found] ) :P instead of../photos1.php, i think that should be …/photos.php
Haha.. Sorry for ruining this page with ^ that thing.. but i hope that would help :D
Good Luck! And you sing very well and play the guitar really good.. and write songs really good :D
March 19th, 2008 at 7:32 pm
Very cute, very funny. It was my birthday too; big 4-0, OMG! (can I get a belated shout-out?) j/k ;)
March 19th, 2008 at 7:38 pm
4-0=4….. you type pretty well for a toddler.
Well Happy B-day, Palindrome.
;-)
March 19th, 2008 at 8:41 pm
You two are too talented and TOO FUNNY. Thank you for being wonderful! You make my smile turn into a laugh and transform my laugh into a song. Man, I love this community!
March 19th, 2008 at 8:54 pm
Nasal congestion lmao
March 19th, 2008 at 10:00 pm
Congratulations on being first. I think you had inside information on the post. LOL!
March 20th, 2008 at 12:04 am
the first 15 seconds of advil are pure bliss. i ALWAYS suck off the candy shell before swallowing.
March 20th, 2008 at 12:22 am
Either that OR Mama G was just waiting and constantly refreshing the main Bla(h)g page till the new post came up?
::cough, cough::
…Not that anyone else does that…
; )
March 20th, 2008 at 8:11 am
lol @ travis
March 20th, 2008 at 9:24 am
NO! I swear I didn’t! She was even in a different state than me…. that’s why it’s so amazing that I just happened to check to see if she posted!
March 20th, 2008 at 9:25 am
yeah…. Russ gets it…..
March 20th, 2008 at 12:21 pm
That WAS a pretty good one Travis :)
March 20th, 2008 at 1:39 pm
Hey, if any of you OC people are near an Orange Coast Magazine, flip it open to page 44… there’s a nice one-page article on Kina that came out yesterday. There probably won’t be any info there that you don’t already know but there’s a photo I’ve never seen before.
March 20th, 2008 at 2:33 pm
You cuties are too cute. You actually had me laughing out loud!
March 20th, 2008 at 3:07 pm
is it just me or are three of those periods larger than the others? is there a special meaning to that? or is it just random weirdness?
March 20th, 2008 at 3:09 pm
eww. it’s like eating letting aspirin melt in your mouth with no h20. :Z
March 20th, 2008 at 3:16 pm
Care to scan and share for us LA (and non OC) folks?
that would be lovely =)
March 20th, 2008 at 4:04 pm
Well, whaddya know! Heh, and I thought that magazine was just for advertising homes and timeshare vacations in the OC. I’ll be sure to take a look at it, and i’ll try to scan it for everyone’s delight.
March 20th, 2008 at 10:41 pm
Just giving ya a hard time mama G. Chalk it up to mothers intuition. Great timing. Mama G for the win!
March 20th, 2008 at 11:04 pm
Hey Kina And Emi Just wanted to let you know that your blog got me through a really rough day. So thanks
March 21st, 2008 at 12:12 am
Okay, that puts a wrap on an otherwise bla(h) day. That sound/vid byte left a pretty big smile on my face. Thanks! Loved the duet you two!! The outtakes still have me in stitches!! Kina and Emi, the stuff you put up on this site is soooooo fresh, and your expressions are priceless!! The two of you are simply, fab!! Much Aloha!
March 21st, 2008 at 7:53 am
Ahh! The videos are just getting cuter and more addictive! Great song again Kina! And Emi, your harmony is just awesome, top notch! I was so glad to meet you at Cactus Cafe Kina. I’m sorry if I was a bit awkward. I’m pretty much a hermit outside of work and hanging out with my wife. You’re SO nice in person too. My wife was actually with me at the concert but she was too shy to say hi (she’s so self-conscious aye yi). That song “Make It Go” was definitely my favorite of the night. It was just so intense, I had goosebumps all over! I could see why you hesitate to post a video of it. I’m sorry I was not able to meet Emi directly, I had to kinda rush back to work. I’m sure you guys will come back to Austin someday.
I just spent the last day or so (between work) catching up on this blog (I can’t say I’m a kinaddict if I don’t). Missed you all and you all are still rockin’ this place. I thought it was funny how many times that peep show picture was posted haha.
travis: nice to see a fellow blogger at the concert
miko: My votes are going to you, hope you win man! Oh, and you are not alone on the peeps. I had no idea what they were until this blog either.
dro: My anticipation for your video grows every day, I know it won’t disappoint ;)
jaa oyasuminasai :) (I know, it’s 10am, and I go back to work at 5pm hehe)
March 21st, 2008 at 11:04 am
Haha, that was super funny ;) I would pay to see you two recording videos for the blog :)
Kina, can i have a happy birthday shoutout? Just to have at least one positive thing to remember about my birthday. I’ll be 30 next friday and it s**x :( I don’t want to be THAT old… ;)
March 21st, 2008 at 4:21 pm
i found half a cornsnake in our drive way… :( the other half was not too far… and quite unrecognizable :( must have been run over.
March 21st, 2008 at 8:15 pm
did you know that there are cocoa bunnie peeps?!?! WHAT?!
March 22nd, 2008 at 11:02 am
I was about to yell at stupid idea, then I saw who made the comment. Still though, bleh
March 22nd, 2008 at 11:08 am
I think I might be able to rock with those but regular peeps…no sir:-p.
March 22nd, 2008 at 11:28 am
Happy Saturday Everyone!!
=)
March 22nd, 2008 at 4:08 pm
don’t knock it till you’ve tried it
March 22nd, 2008 at 4:39 pm
Mama G, do you know when she is done packing and is coming back? :<.
March 22nd, 2008 at 4:55 pm
if you mean back to Southern California, she returned Wednesday
:(
March 22nd, 2008 at 6:03 pm
Oh…well then. >_>
Welcome back. :P
E: I’m bad at replying : /.
March 22nd, 2008 at 6:51 pm
i really want to try them!!
March 22nd, 2008 at 6:53 pm
ok another random note (besides the peeps)
today i was at kohl’s waiting for my parents that were taking forever to pick out house stuff… and i decided to sit and people watch. i love people watching!! and of course i couldnt help but think “swarms of people moving around in every direction”… and so on. haha that was fun.
on another note. today sucked, in one way, but kina always makes me feel better :]
March 22nd, 2008 at 10:03 pm
gee whiz, is it saturday night again already? yikes.
ps: when i was a little kid, i used to think that the refrain to “for he’s a jolly good fellow” went “all on a saturday night. we won’t go home until morning, we won’t go home until morning, we won’t go home until mornnniiiinnngg…..all on a saturday night.” which makes absolutely no sense when you think about it.
March 23rd, 2008 at 4:39 pm
if I might ask, what does asdf stand for?
March 23rd, 2008 at 5:04 pm
yayy, SUNDAY NIGHT/ Monday early morning is coming soon!
p.s.
-Hope everyone is having a splendiferous/fun/exciting/relaxing, Easter! One of the very few days that i’m actually off on a Holiday (Only 3 days of the Year).
March 23rd, 2008 at 5:31 pm
It’s just a nick. Nothing special. (read: i was lame to pick a proper nickname :) But i like it, it’s easy to type :D)
March 23rd, 2008 at 5:55 pm
You too! :P
March 23rd, 2008 at 9:54 pm
Awaiting some KG love:-)
March 24th, 2008 at 12:37 am
i think we should get an early post just to make up for the lateness of the last one… is that wrong to want?!?!?!?! 0_o
March 24th, 2008 at 12:41 am
hmm…My guess is it’s gonna be a morning/afternoon Monday post.
March 24th, 2008 at 1:28 am
Ok, My Guess for sure is that it’ll be late morning/ afternoon/late afternoon…. umm, never mind… lets just say it wont be an early monday morning post. It’s good though, that means that Kina is getting some well deserved sleep. LOL, which is what i should be doing right about now.
Till next time,
=)
March 24th, 2008 at 4:12 pm
please show your guitar when playing…I would like to learn some of your songs. I’m not good enough (yet) to learn by ear.
Thanks
Mick
March 24th, 2008 at 9:18 pm
ahh!! this was so cute! i think i forgot to look last week, so today was like DOUBLE kina, which is awesome btw… you rock.
March 28th, 2008 at 3:35 am
wow, I love it when you guys sing together, even in muddy pink!
March 29th, 2008 at 8:41 am
too freaking funny.
April 3rd, 2008 at 2:06 pm
so…me and my buddies agree that all of these songs with the girl on the right are pretty pointless. the intention to have your sister participate is worthy but we all just find it pretty sketchy when these people are complimenting girl on the right when you can’t even hear her voice in any of the songs. quite laughable to say the least. now if they heard her sing alone we gotta apologize but since kinas voice always overshadows the other girl in these videos you cant say whether its good or not and what your doing is just sucking up. or if she had a solo then you could judge whether shes good or not but i guess that wouldnt happen because then you would have to be a group instead of kina grannis. anyways, thats what we all honestly think as constructive criticism.
April 3rd, 2008 at 6:04 pm
have you heard “Just Stay A Little”?
April 3rd, 2008 at 8:10 pm
i felt exactly the same way and by coincidence i was listening to ’stay just a little’. i would be embarrassed to be in the back doing nothing but singing the chorus. pointless indeed.
