A few new clips - "Kimi He" and "Cruisin"

[Sapphira]

Ack, its been a long time since I've posted any songs. These aren't full songs, just clips of songs that I've been working on in my spare time. Um, these definitely are not my best, but ya know... who cares? ;P Comments are always welcome and appreciated, as is criticism. If you listen, please do give me some feedback. I need to know my weak points so I can strengthen them.

"KIMI HE" from FFX-2 Yuna Vocal Collection (http://sapphira.voiceacting.org/sapphira-kimi_he_sample.mp3)
- I recorded this song just a few hours ago and was going to scrap it, but decided against it simply because I'm famous for saying, "I'M GONNA SING THAT!" and then never follow through on it. Hehh.... this one was no exception. You can tell my voice is weak... the only part I'm happy with is the very last verse. Hm. Maybe one day I'll record the whole thing. :\

"CRUISIN'" from the movie Duets (http://sapphira.voiceacting.org/sapphira-cruisin_sample.mp3)
- I recorded the vocals for this several weeks ago... maybe closer to a month ago, I'm not sure. It turned out decent. This is another one of those songs that I said I would sing... hehe, three years later, and here we are! XD The lovely, infamous ig is accompanying me here. He doesn't sing as much as he used to, apparently its my fault. Errrm, yeaaaah. This one will be finished at some point. But for now, all you get is a small preview.

Hope your ears don't bleed! ^^

Those are two of the best voices I've ever heard. Aside from this being the one of the most L33T 00ber CUTE COUPLE thing's I've ever heard.

You have an amazing voice. You have amazing talent, and however lost you feel about your musical path, DON'T let that beautiful voice go to waste. It'd be a shame for the world not to hear it <3

If you don't mind, I am stealing it now. Thanks!

*runs off and sings with it*

*steals Sapphy's voice from Melly*

I've always been a fan of yours, Sapphy. It's so nice to hear songs from you ^^ There is one problem....NOT ENOUGH! I NEED MORE! MORE! MORE!

[Yunnie Kun]

Delicious .. ^___^ i thought the same when i heard the songs. Very nice

[Kairi Li]

I love what you did with Kimi He! Such a sweet voice! The other song was great too!

[Velvy]

Aah! Your beautiful singing voice never fails. I loved "Duets," you have such control over your range. *_* And I loved "Kimi He," I hope to hear more Yuna-songs from you. I have "Feel," and this. You oughta take a stab at "1000 Words," and "Real Emotion." Did you sing "Suteki Da Ne" before as well?

[Nanuri]

[x-posted because I want to rule the world 10x over :O]

Amusingly enough, I liked "Kimi He" better, cause IG DIDN'T GET IN THE WAY :O

Hehe, just kidding! Kimi He was my favorite because it wasn't cookie cutter, it was strong, clean, and fresh. I *loved* it. And you and R.A.K. need to finish "Cruisin" so I can worship the two of you.

Mostly though, please do the whole frickin' thing of "Kimi He." I will worship you.

Oh wait, that's right, I already do.


I'll be lucky if I develop 1/2591759076th of the talent you have, girly - use it wisely <33

[Chell]

So very cute, you and Ig singing "Cruisin"! :D I enjoyed that thoroughly. I hope the whole version comes out soon ^_^.

Kimi He is very pretty *^^*.

I can listen to your voice forever. I mentioned this before, when you asked what I want for Christmas - a SAPPHY CD!

~*Chell*~

[Manami]

Those were amazing! o.o

You really do have a great singing voice! I really liked both songs~ You should finish them... o.o Such short clips are much too teasing.

[alessa]

Two words...


You rock! <3

[Sapphira]

Awwww.... *REPLIES*

Melmel: You're so sweet! *hugs* Thank you for the encouragement. My mind and heart are still in limbo over whether I should continue to pursue a career, but its nice to know that no matter what I decide to do, there will always be people like you standing behind me. ^^

Cassie: I knooow... if only I didn't procrastinate so much, I'd get more songs done. :\ Thank you for being a fan though! *hugs*

Yun: Wow, I haven't seen you around in ages, boy! I really wish we had done that duet all those years ago. I miss hearing your voice tremendously. I feel honored that you still get the chance to hear mine every once in awhile. ^^

Kairi Li: Thanks for the compliments. ^^

Velvy: Ahh, you know me and my obsessive-love over Yuna. *grins* I was planning on doing both "Kimi He" and "Morning Glow" as a musical project for Dreamflow, so who knows... maybe one of these days I will. The X-2 songs are already in the works.... "Real Emotion" for the opening of my FFX-2 rp and "1000 Words" in video format with Nikki. Its all a matter of time. ^^ Thank youuuu so much for listening! <3

Nanuri: ig is always in the way. <3 And you lie. YOU LIEEEEE! You have more talent than I, ooooh..... I'm gonna go cry. </end of poem>

Chell: I'm glad you liked "Cruisin". ^^ We don't do nearly enough duets. And if you want a Sapphy cd for Christmas, you got one! *hugs*

Manami: Hehee, I don't mean to tease! I've done many songs over the years. Most of them are on my site http://www.bethanydavis.net. Thank you for your comments! ^^

Alessa: Awww.... you rock harder! Post some of your songs! ^^

[Ben]

:OOOO DEAR GOD WHO ARE U!? Sapphy? What's up, Sapphy!? Shh. Don't answer. I'll tell you. MY THUMBS BIIATCH. When I review, I usually expect to give some constructive criticism, but this is your domain. Flawless mixing and complimenting song selection leaves only one problem - your release dates. More frequent, please. You have a gorgeous (silent) voice.

Hi ig.

[MelAnna]

Chell: I'm glad you liked "Cruisin". ^^ We don't do nearly enough duets. And if you want a Sapphy cd for Christmas, you got one! *hugs*


THEN I WANT ONE TOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! <3

[TamTu]

See. there's a reason why I'm late with replying.

It's because I can bump it's beautifulness :O


Whoa. It's Ig. I am feeling nostalgic now.

[minkchan]

ooooh I loove the song Cruisin!!! I gotta fish that karaoke from ya Sapphy ^^
I liked both songs but I liked how you sounded on cruising the best.
I agree with everyone. *nods* Pretty pretty voice! It's soo kawaii ^^ Hope to hear more from you. *nods*

[Crimson]

Kimi he: Your pronounciation sounds a bit off in some places... like you're singing slightly different lyrics. For example you sing "watachi aaru kara", I'm not really familiar with the lyrics, but it'd probably be "watashi aeru kara" (or... does Yuna actually use 'watachi' x.x; ). In any case, it's no big deal... your pronounciation has improved a LOT since I last remember you singing in Japanese (I still have your version of Feel actually... lol). Not to mention your singing is beautiful...

Cruisin': You and Ig make the best duets x.x; I'm always amazed, and this is no exception. I'd try to give you C&C, but it would be really hard, actually. My only complaint is that it seems like Ig is mixed in quite a bit louder than you in a couple parts.

[traviata]

Aiya... you have absolutely the cutest voice! And you have so much control over it, too... Hah, I just went to your site and listened to, like, everything. And I must say, I'm suuuuper jealous ^_-

[Sapphira]

And some more.... woohooo!!!!


Ben: I'll try... but you know me. Laaaaazy....... XD

TamTu: Better late than never, eh? ^^ Thanks babe. And yes... ig singing IS totally nostalgic. More on that later, if you catch my drift.

Minkchan: Sure, catch me on AIM sometime and I'll be glad to send it to ya! Thanks for listening and commenting. ^^

Crimson: Pronunciation? Whats that? XD Let me stress that I DO NOT know japanese or anything about the language. I just sing by ear, so it really doesn't surprise me that its off. As for the lyrics, well... I'm just singing what it says in my txt file. Whether its correct or not, I would never know. ^^ And I'll keep an eye on the volume levels when I finish mixing "Cruisin". Thanks hon!

traviata: Aww, thanks for listening and for your comments. I appreciate them! ^^

[YdocNameloc]

wow Sapphy...I don't think I've ever heard you sing before. Now I see that apparently I was missing something. Beautiful voice, the both of you.

[Crimson]

Thanks hon! I looked around for lyrics of Kimi he and a lot of them said slightly different things... so it's probably not your fault if you're singing the wrong things XD; I'm not fluent in Japanese yet, so I unfortunately can't tell you what's right for sure... Either way the important thing is that you're a lot better at pronouncing it, whether or not you understand it any better or not :P

[S0M30N3]

your voice is just beautiful.. ^^

[Margo]

Very pretty voice ^___^ I only listened to the first one, but it's really good. Very soft, sweet, pretty ^_^ Well done. Not much to complain about. Hehe, why would my ears bleed? ^_^
