Week 42 Day 3 - Megumi Nakajima

The voice of GUMI returns! This time the 2 songs on feature are:-



Song: Be MYSELF by 中島 愛
Be MYSELF by Megumi Nakajima





Song: パイン by 中島愛
PAINN (Pine/Pain, not sure which is the actual translation) by Megumi Nakajima
[Lyrics for these, please scroll down. Also, you could use google translate for the lyrics :P]


The first song actually had a promotional dance video (as featured above) uploaded on NND to promote her upcoming single of which the song was part of. It gained instant popularity from there. From there, there came a flurry of other similar dance videos, such as:-


[Jyonni, as featured before in the past]


[A cosplay maid doing the dance + lip synching (I think it's synching). Most popular NND vid]


[And even one dance cover by Reisen Udonge Inaba (from touhou). Here is a vid showing the comparison between the MMD dance and the actual dance. Too bad it's only 2 minutes long]


[A full-song MMD version. I don't think it's from the original creator though, sadly]


[A karaoke version as found on youtube]


[A MEIKO cover of the song.]


[And the accompanying MMD routine]

And finally:


[EXIT trance cover. Sounds good though]

And a flurry of other dance cover versions of the song on NND. I'm a little too lazy to go through all of them (look at the time man), so I shall just link here and here for the more diligent user to view them. A thousand apologies for the laziness

The second song also comes from the same single (in fact, so far all the Gumi songs that I've featured are from the same single). I actually prefer this song much more. But sadly, youtube and NND do not agree and thus have nothing much to offer. The only OTHER I can give is just a higher quality song from NND:-



But that's it. And sadly, given the time, I don't have time for additional extras. Oh wells, I'll pay up this debt that I owe in some way or other (technically already did with the Tamaki Nami posts).

Alrighty, maybe one post later in the day, but then another (short) break comes in.. Hopefully I can finish 28 posts by the end of this month (this is #10 btw). It's a long way to go now.
Until then, ciaoz

Note: I should look more into her songs soon.
