MUSIC VIDEO!!!! ahhhhh
THIS IS IT! The video that could possibly air during the super bowl!! (Though not in it's entirety). It was SO weird for me to watch if for the first time today. I kind of forgot it was me I was watching.
Anyway-- Today I am playing a show at my High School! Exciting, yes, but let me take a moment to be completely honest with you.
I am so scared.
Yes, high schoolers can intimidate me. They might enjoy the show... or they might think I am the stupidest person ever. And once you are deemed uncool by a high school student... well jeez, there is no hope. I do have some friends there. They are amazing and supportive and I love them. I can only hope there are a few more like them out there. High school! Ahh!!
Wow. Don't get my wrong, I am really excited. I know I'll have fun with it. Maybe I'm scared because I'm playing where all the cool kids used to hang out at lunch. I would imagine all the cool kids still hang there... what if they can tell I'm not as cool as them?!
Haha. Oh life is so entertaining.
All for now,
me.
@jesse b
wow! over 100,000 channel views?! coooool :) yes, we've come far.
@deana

@telmo
yay! i'm so glad to meet another k's choice fan.
@ompa
yes, i burn every cd, place ever cd sticker label... haha, but it's all for the people that allow me to do what i love most! so i don't mind. although, yeah, this is why my orders take so long to process...
@j.c.
welcome back! all feels right again in blogdom.

this is great!!!!!!!!
hooray!!!!
ch, you just have to set the high schoolers in their place. You are way wiser then them now. Plus you are waaaay cooler then any cool kid in high school; I bet none of them have Youtube videos with over a 1,000 hits each.
Awesome music video. The lighting effects in the greenhouse added a very nice visual effect. It's a little different seeing you play from a bunch of different angles, lol. But you look superb and sound great!
kina! i am so excited for you! that video is great and im getting everyone i can to vote for you over here at ucla (at least whoever the kids at the horseshoe havent gotten too yet haha) im sure i'll see you around here soon, good luck and i cant wait to see this video during the superbowl!
can you vote more than once in a day? If so, I feel terrible because I only vote once a day! You should be winning by now because I will vote every time I am in front of my computer (which is whole day everyday). Oh man I need a life!
Go Kina!
Will you keep up the videos (even if they're on a less frequent basis) once you win this contest?
Oh My! I just watched your video and I have tears in my eyes Kina! THAT WAS BEAUTIFUL!!!
I am SO happy for you!!!
Good Luck Sweetie. I SO hope you make it, you are so adorable and SO talented!
Good Luck, and God Bless.

@ glim
you can vote multiple times a day if you have more than one myspace account. :)
Kina, Capo is a scary place (the one time I gave a speech there I thought I would pass out I was so scared) but I am sure you will be fine. They will hold you in awe because you're older and more talented than them (and the "cool" kids weren't really all that cool, looking back). You are doing so amazing and I'm so impressed by you, and my mom wants to sign up on myspace and vote. We're all rooting for ya!

I wouldn't worry about the high school kids.
Every little thing she does is magic.
She'll have them under her spell in about 5 notes in. I know, I've experienced it :P
Sweet video, congrats! That was a cool effect when the greenhouse lights started 'beating' during the bum-bums.
That was Fantastic!! I loved that video! IT was really nicely done!!1
Oh High School...I am so glad to be done with that. But yeah you will be great...I am sure they will all love you!
WooHoo!!! Great Video!!!!

Kina -
This is awesome, I have confidence you will win. And you deserve it.
As far as high school goes, just imagine that this performance is like a high school debate you have researched really well and that you are going up against some really uninformed people and....oh wait, nevermind. Knock 'em dead!
I'm the sure high-schoolers will not be much of a problem for you. People will always have different opinions, and let's face it, it's almost impossible to please everyone. But considering the following you have now, I think you can be confident that a large portion of the high schoolers will be rather impressed with you, which is an impressive enough feat in itself.
That music video was awesome! I Can't wait to see it on a bigger screen, in high-def. Anyone know if I might get the superbowl via over-the-air HDTV?
Yo Kina!!
I'm in Montreal,Canada right now!
Wow...never felt so tired like this before..it took me in total about 22 hours of flight to get here from Malaysia!
I love the music video!! :D
I feel so excited after watching the video, great video!!
Ok,I have to go find something to eat..I'm hungry!!
Owh, and remember..you're cool..
sneaked a peak at work... woohoo! glad i didn't wait. nice job Kina.
I agree, the video is really great! Too bad I won't be able to get the big surprise during the Superbowl (while they do broadcast it over here they don't show the commercials or in-between stuff).
Anyways, as an avid Digg users you surely read about last.fm. Did you think about getting your music on there (it's totally free for independend artists and you get money based on how many people listen to you).
Wauw! Thats one awesome musicvideo!
Well done kina and folks who put it together! _O_
And the lighthouse! alltogether great! Congrats.
So how does it feel to be on the 'white screen'? Unreal aye?
So I guess we can surmise Kina was not one of the "cool" kids. I'm pleasantly surprised! So what happens to those kids anyway? Do they become "cool" adults?
Hey sweety!
I'm working as fast as I can on the video. I just sent you another mail with (I think) a better version. That's the one I'll use with the video. Hope you like this one too.
Love
Fred
yay kina!!!
Great video Kina, I don't believe the others stand a chance! I think you have already won, and I think "People" is going to be an even bigger hit! Keep up the good work and please come play in San Francisco!!
Me again.
For the complete fans of yours, I uploaded my version of your song on my myspace page. I didn't quite know where else to put it until I get the video done for Youtube (which proves more difficult than expected).

I don't particullarly like publicity, but no-one has to listen to my personal stuff !!! ;-)

haha, Oh wow, Kina you made my day today. I went into first period and my friend said.."are you staying for lunch? Kina's playing"
AND I WENT CRAZY EXCITED! I dont have a 6th and I usually leave, but today I STAYED!!!! ahhh it was fun :) haha, and i'm definitely going to the game tomorrow and wearing my shirt!
And you're right.. the mall is the most intimidating place during lunch... but haha we made our own little kina fan club up front :)
and people came up to you and told you how inspirational you were! SO AWESOME!!! :)
ahh, and then the strings... haha
Definitely made my day. :) yay!
yay kina im gonna see you at the game tomorrow
and i was going to say hello today but you looked pretty preoccupied
and don't worry how couldn't you be cool being the digg girl
GNU fan, the "cool kids" end up working for the "nerds". Thankfully, I've been classified as a nerd since, well, as soon as classifications started emerging within the social hierarchy of little kids.
As for the commercial, are we talking about a commercial during halftime? Or just one of the random commercial breaks during the superbowl?
awesome video...
i am super slow or have A.D.D. but i think watching THIS music video made me realize your song "message from the heart" was basically a heart SINGING from the words coming from a "heart"
i am so so so clueless sometimes, and when i listened to the whole song with this new perspective, the song became so new to me and it was an awesome experience... why am i so retarded hahaha
it's sorta like when NAS made that song "i gave you power" and the words were from the point of view of a gun. but yours is more peaceful because ur song is from the point of view of a heart and peace reigns and you will therefore REIGN DURING SUPERBOWL!!!
hahaha =D
blessings,
miko
Nice Kina, very nice!
The video was really amazing! Just the way i thought it would be, it definitely has that distinctive Kina style that we have all grow and love so dearly.
Well from reading some earlier comments it seems like the high school show went great. I knew it would! I mean it might not be to their taste, but there is no denying that you have a great talent.
Well, I cant wait to see what happens with the contest, but no matter what the outcome, you will always be a winner! I'm sure you know that though... :)
J.C.
P.S. I have been watching your previous videos, the snakes sorta creep me out... I was cringing at the thought of you getting bitten.. I am sure there nice pets, I'm just more of a dog person though..
J.C., look at it this way. A Corn Snake probably isn't going to do a whole lot of damage, even if it did bite you. The thing is so small anyways, even if it latched on to your finger, it couldn't bite it off.
I'm actually much more scared of dogs than I am of corn snakes.
I must admit I had pretty high expectations for the video, and I'm sorry to say...it was even better than I hoped for!!! (fakeout over). Everyone involved did an outstanding job.
You know I have to ask this - what was the resolution of the video they gave you? Just curious, as it did look really good for YouTube. Of course, I'm sure I'll get to see it in HD in a little over a week.
@ompa & anyone else who cares:
You should be able to get it over-the-air on Fox. I know I'll be recording the OTA signal with my HD USB stick. I'm guessing the Doritos thing will be on somewhere around the national anthem or slightly before, since a full minute can be hard to come by once the game starts.
Kina told me that the 60-second spot is sometime at or shortly after the end of the first quarter.
After 1st quarter makes perfect sense from a time standpoint. And I would trust Kina.
@Kina
that is so awesome
@fred
that's really great piano background!
So excited and proud! My little brother texted me today and said you were in his classroom and that you were going to be performing at capo--he said, "I just met a celebrity!" :)
Your video is beautiful. Hang in there, we all think you are amazing!!
Jen
gah, I can't figure out this comment thing--how to identify myself or whatever. the above comment (and this one)-->Jen Aguilar
:)
not that it matters much...ahhh
hah, awkwardness...my specialty...as you've witnessed before :)
Haha don't worry about it, you won them over with the chocolate and I thought you sounded great! Plus, come on, you've got Mrs. Sayles, and we all know she's the epitome of cool...
sounds like the high school "homecoming" show went well :)
how'd your Ground Zero show go?
Wish I was there to see it, but if it was even half the show that you normally crank out, you must have brought the house down :)
It's a very beautifull video !!! I love it, the heart lamp is really cool, and you are soooo beautifull :D
I really enjoy that, Good job you did and all the video team.
you inspire me to write again. picked up my guitar (rose; that's what i call her) and started fiddling around with her. i love her and i love your music it ALWAYS makes me smile. I really hope you win and if not you still have your fans to support you. God Bless.
oh yeah, your music vid is kick ass.
"oh yeah" one more time... you've got nothing to worry about when you play your highschool. your music is the shiz, the girls will look up to you, and the boys, well, the boys will be boys ;) hahaha.
i loved your performance today at lunch!
i couldn't tell you were nervous at all.
you really inspired me - i want to learn how to play guitar now!
good luck! (i'm voting for you!)
Kina! An awesome video as expected :) I just got into listening to your third album In Memory of the Singing Bridge and I'm HOOKED. I'm scared to find out what your next album's going to be like. It's probably going to become my favorite album ever! Oh I had a question, did you ever live abroad anywhere else other than New Zealand? Hope you had a great concert ;)
Kina,
Congrats on such a great video!
Keith, Michiko & Harmony
