how did i forget to title this?
hello all!
here’s a new song i wrote. it is nameless thus far. if you have any suggestions please let me know. i was thinking about “when everything falls away from me” but that is incredibly long. hmph….
the marathon training with team in training is going really well! yesterday we ran 8 miles and aside from the gigantic blister that formed on my left foot, it felt great. i’m so glad i decided to do this.
as for “anyway” vs. “anyways”, i’m sure that i am horribly inconsistent and use them both randomly in writing and speaking. :)
anyway…

i’m about to head out to practice with Lady Danville and The Payphones, the two bands I’ll be playing with at Hotel Cafe on the 25th of July! we’re going to do an exciting collaborative segment at the end of the night :)
@wwar1ace
you would be correct. (if you remember what you were talking about)
@tricia
yes, i forgot to feature a cover last week :( i realized about 5 minutes after i posted it. sad! i am so glad to hear that you are playing more and more guitar! can’t wait to hear some of it.
@glenn
yes i can definitely recall the locations that i’ve written all my songs in. pretty bizarre. i agree though, new apartment sounds like a great excuse to write another :) too bad i havent really moved in yet.
@JaY_Yu_eL
maybe i can get emi to sing a song with me this weekend when she’s home for the 4th. as for misa… i don’t know when i’ll see her again… she’s so far away!! sadness.
oovret: week 9
Do you wear corrective lenses? nope. but i did go through a period of time (high school) when i really wished i had an excuse to wear glasses. i convinced my mom to take me to the eye doctor but to my disappointment, i had 20/20 vision. looks like no cool emo glasses for me.
Do you have any fillings/cavities? yes. :( i blame genetically weak enamel. right emi!?
Did you wear braces when you were younger? yup.
Have you broken any bones? nope.
How many stitches have you required? i think 6? in my right knee. i went on a run by myself in the mountains (against my mothers wishes) convinced nothing could possibly go wrong. then i slipped on a rock and split my knee open. i was 3 miles out and had no cell phone service. i spent about 10 minutes lying on my back in the dirt, talking myself down, elevating the wound, applying pressure, just like they always tell you to do, before two bikers came around the corner. there i was covered in dirt, blood, and flies, laying on my back. it probably looked like i fell off the mountain. haha. one of them helped me back down. on the way back we had to maneuver around a baby rattlesnake in the trail, and that night i read that there had been a mountain lion spotting in those hills that day for the first time in a few years. HA. now i listen to my mother. (not that i didn’t before. except this one particular instance, of course….)
Rubble
Beautiful song as always Kina!
&& I couldn’t help but notice that near the end of your ‘video’(hehe) you were singing Justin Nozuka?!?! Another amazing acoustic artist!
@ sabafa
Time to get a Mac. We don’t have any of these problems with a Mac. And, not only do they work better, but they are really pretty and cool too.
kina you are quite amazing! another awesome song! you could just call it..”falling” “falling away” “everything falls” “away from me” some thing like that ya know? lol
ARG! Who is this Thomas who keeps taking my identity?????
@mama g
your identity has been doing everything recently! the not-so anonymous post, then the “anonymous” post… then the smart awesome new gravatar, a new name.. what’s next?!
@kina
i thought you purposely left the blog unnamed… haha you know, to follow the idea of an unnamed song? :)
iPhone shoutouts were cool….is it hard to type on those? I’m debating between a blackberry and an iphone.. life is so hard, lol.
Thanks for posting Michael Schulte’s cover..it made me listen to your version again and somehow I forgot how much I loved that song…Falsetto goodness. Has Emi ever taken vocal/music lessons? Did you make up the harmony or did she help find it? She’s really good at singing them. :)
Beautiful Song, i’ve received the cd+shirt package today Yippie! Thank you! Hope you’ve received my email with the 2 Screens. :)
All the best,
jürgen
Loving how you answer questions from the fans. Keeping it real. Loving you even more.
I just bought “Message from your Heart” as a ringtone with my AT&T service. Here’s hoping that Kina gets a portion — it makes me so happy when people call me! :D
this is super random but can you speak japanese fluently?
just wondering cuz im half japanese and i cant speak it fluently :(
and i have some other half japanese friends who cant speak it either
so i was wondering if you could
@Thomas
So I hear! I should have got one in the first place and I would know for sure;)
I’m a bit stubborn once my nose is put out of joint:¬/ and for some reason I seem to think that a £1,500 computer (it can be got for under a thousand now) should at least work ok through its warranty period, and as I’ve again told Sony Techs today (true) that I’m not paying a penny for anything computer related until I’ve had 8-10 years worth of good use out of this notebook (& I don’t mean the kind of use I’ve had during those since new, to date - almost 2years) that came fitted with the extra Ram from them at additional cost! So, when this dies a true death - twas almost the case the other week - that’s it 4me:( but I’m sure it will be more peacefull 0-(8D) 4me<it3
+ the other day, the ip config drivers seem to have driven off like the invisible man, as if spirited away without trace, at least according to my ip provider who advised that I should take the notebook to a tech shop and pay to have them put back in (= no way, computer death first) but as you can see this, it will be obvious that that is no longer a problem! Of course, it still closes down instead of switching to dc, so I’ve still something to annoy me till the next prob!
I vote avatar for whole site, as it’s gone 2wks since I applied 4 a gravatar that didn’t work (= I’d have to apply again) and which I realised I wouldn’t want to use, but that’s just because I don’t want to join anyones forums, even Kina’s = God help me in the retribution that that statement might invoke, so please don’t block my almost permanant state of watching your videos Kina/Misa/Emi orAny1wieldingTHEpower2doSO, as it’s almost a place of sanctuary4me=BlushTime :* ToldYa:P Anyway/Anyways4cuteness, I prefer privacy, and these sort of things are anything but that, so byeeeeeeeeeeee
@ sabafa…
…
your syntax/grammar is very…odd.
Happy Independence day Kina ! May you, & your family have an awesom 4th weekend. :], i’m sure you’ve been working constantly, so here’s to hope that you get some rest this weekend. ! _ jeff
I’ve been away for so long! I was in the hospital, though. So, like in elementary school, this better be an excused absence. This week’s song was incredible. I hope it ends on your album which I am sure will, no doubt, be amazing. I hope you a fun 4th and enjoy your show tonight.
I’m going back into hospital on Monday for surgery and will be spending two weeks in rehab to recover. Let’s just say I’m praying I have internet to watch and keep up the blogs. Hopefully, you, and everyone else, will be hearing sometime in the next two weeks.
PS The surgery is not grave. I’ll be fine after rehab.:-)
ajsea: Hope you have a speedy recovery! (when will they have computer monitors next to hospital beds instead of/as well as TVs?that would be sweet)
always a fan!!!! got ur cd’s a few months ago, hasn’t left my cd player yet, when Im having a bad start, i jump in my truck, and its a kina attitude adjustment….thanks :D
“everything falls”
“How did you know me”
oovret: Week 10
What is your:
favorite late night snack?
favorite elementary school lunch?
favorite vending machine item?
favorite type of sushi?
favorite type of cookie?
Good luck ajsea!
AWAY FROM ME
we have only one choice!
ah..Nola Jones has the song as “Come Away With Me”
we might as well add ‘FALL’ in it.
Sure!
That sounds good. Trip off the toungue.
FALL(S) AWAY FROM ME
Hey Kina, I got a wordpress login just so I could post on your blog. :) Anyway, I’m your friend on Youtube and Myspace but I wanted to post on here that I really like “How Did You Know” for a title for the song. Or “Everything Falls”? Not so long, but interesting enough and a big enough part of the song to tie it in well.
I wish I didn’t live in Idaho. Gah. :( We used to live down there (Riverside area) and I totally would have come out to the show yesterday. Come to Boise? :D
“delicate” does sound good!

@ JD:-
Syntaxis = Sooooo not verus! Just ye olde worlde wayicus & 2mnyBngsOnDaHd + MADE U LOOK @ IT 4 LONGER/LESS depending on your understanding or 4jst the same amount of time as me if u R evn a titchie bit like me, but anyways, please feel 3;) not 2B so rude from now on!
@ Kina:-
Was ‘4:19′ strictly time based or some sort of code 4sm1, 4xmpl:- 1John4:19 within the Bible/similar, as I couldn’t quite hear what you said at that point?
Also, I’ve found out that I am still a forum member elsewhere (soz 4 4gtn it bonehead) although I’ve never really bothered with it - ergo it’s a waste of time going on a hunt d:LOL:P - but I’m unlikely 2 withdraw from it either!
My photo shows up on forum, but it doesn’t show up on blah(g) too. Misa, do I need to upload it again?
@ sabafa
i wasn’t being rude, it’s just that your grammar/syntax is kind of out of the ordinary. made it a little hard to read that’s all.
it’d be like if I wrote like this H3Y Wh4T’s uP KiNeE gEe iS dA RiZzlE diZLe fO sHo. WoRd uP tA AlLZ mAH HoMiEs, StR8teMOtHuGginGfOLyFE.
I guess Kina isn’t posting a blog today? booo. :(
blog?
kina where are youuu???
…*tear*
I will wait for you
even if it’s the last thing I ever do for you
:)
i’m a litte late as most posts are from a couple days ago, haha, but this song was amazing.
& title suggestion- transparent ?
@sabafa–
I’m sorry, I don’t quite get your request in the following post:
Misa, I lost my video upload site embed code today when the suddenly power went off on my computer - it is supposed to switch to battery, but it doesn’t since last system restore - I did include it with my earlier posting here today, although it was instantly removed:/, but is there any chance that it is somewhere within your control to send it back to me, as I haven’t found the right way to ask You Tube’s Help section to give help over it yet!
Help me understand and I’ll see what I can do :)
@ Misa
It was the actual embed code for the only video I’ve uploaded to my new You Tube channel - the comand string that is given to be put within any other site/s that one might have, or might open!
I posted it here so that Kina could have an improved chance of viewing the video as it has some unusual footage that I thought she might find surprising and a comment regarding the CD competition:)
@ Kina
Thanks, but I guess that I’ll have to miss out then on your:-
“Uni files that were free to have from download via the You Tube ‘Strong Enough’ link … Is there any chance that it will be posted there again, …” because “I don’t wish to even visit any space site stuff - too many bad memories of being hacked, etc, whilst I had a site there …”
@ JD
Understood. Understand me, it was/is rude to mention! It would be/have been more polite to have been asked for an explanation.
I vote that Kina’s site should be kept friendly and positive and I am prepared to not use it to keep it that way for her, are you JD? If yes, then let’s say no more about it and we can both try and enjoy Kina’s facilities without risking further abuse of her hospitality or outstaying our welcome!
@ ajsea
Best cross your fingers and wish for a dignity saving 3 armed wrap around gown, rather than the two armed flash it all gown - twas lucky that way twice recently, never was before though, so wish you luck with that one!
Ya for kina naming her new song. “Delicate” was a great name I would have never thought of that. I can’t wait for the next album to come out.
@Misa
I’m not sure that I fully understand sabafa’s issue with the embed code either, but bear with me and let me take this shot in the dark:
Is there, by chance, a specific code which one needs in order for a youtube channel’s RSS feed to automatically update to the newest video available on a site where he has embedded Kina’s channel? If so, I think he has lost that code and is curious if you know what it is (assuming it’s generic) or can help him replace it.
Okay, sabafa, I think I know what you mean now, but I can’t seem to see anything. Can you tell me exactly which comment the code was posted in? Or do you mean that the comment, not just the code, disappeared?
@ Misa
This is my video URL that I unfortunately lost the embed for:-
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tAXwSPswBvE
It was in the post copied to below this paragraph and I think it was straight after this bit of it ‘The following is 4 kina and not the CD.’ until I pressed Submit Comment! After that point, it was no longer there to be seen and yet the rest made it through ok:-
“sabafa Says:

Maybe ‘1Day):’ for the new song title, and I agree with the person who thought it was pertinent enough to your getting stitches story = Moma knows best proved again<3
The following is 4 kina and not the CD.
For some reason, track 3 of that album won’t play on some cd player’s, but it’s not a problem as it works fine on others:)
Also, because my notebook underwent 2 full restores, 18 and 25 June 08, the Uni files that were free to have from download via the You Tube ‘Strong Enough’ link are no more:( Is there any chance that it will be posted there again, as I don’t wish to even visit any space site stuff - too many bad memories of being hacked, etc, whilst I had a site there, although it was good friend/otherwise.
Plus, don’t worry about not being able to answer all the mail’s Kina, I’ll just have to settle for not uploading the video I’d hoped to use as my icon images too which had your ‘Running Away’ playing in the background - the first message from You Tube didn’t send, I then sent you one from my aim account and then also finally got one off from You Tube, if you didn’t get any of them, then one of the reasons I closed my You Tube/other accounts & tried to have others closed down, but they won’t:/, is still a problem now, so it would have been good to have had a reply, whatever the decision, just to know that problem is no more, although I do understand that it can be a thankless and impossible task to answer all mailings, even with staff, so again don’t fret over it!
I also tried the Gravatar, but it didn’t work, luckily, as I don’t wish to post everywhere through it, I still have the MomG+KG style image too, but I guess I’ll not bother, might have done if it was the avatar for everywhere in here, but it just isn’t really worth bothering with anything, as it’s usually anywhere from first updates to 3-4 months before it’s full system disc restore time - last time, they nearly didn’t work, neither did the usual bios stuff = major gulp!”
Thank you for attempting to help me Misa & ajsea:)
you are beautiful!!!!!!!
by
a your Italian fan!
I suggest: ” How Did You Know”
Because when you’re singing this sentence your voice is like a little piece of sky, entierly sad and it’s beautiful…
I love your voice Kina !
