NEW OFFICIAL WEBSITE!

Hello everyone! 

My official homepage is finally DONE!  In the past, I've designed my site on my own, but this time I asked the design team at syncl.com to do it for me.  We went back and forth over the colours and details...it took a while for me to get my information together....but now it's done!!!

http://www.oliviaburrell.com


Please check it out!

My Japanese blog will now be based from that page.日本語のブログはこれからあたしのホームページからアクセスして下さい。よろしくお願いします! 

My English blog will now be located at my Tumblr page:

http://oliviaburrell.tumblr.com

I am not certain if I will continue to use this page or not, but I will leave it open and untouched for memory's sake!

Thanks everyone!

Long Time No Blog!

Hello everyone!

It's been quite a while since I posted to this blog! I've been having too much fun on the road, first with JUJU and now with the legendary Toshi Kubota! I must say that however rotten I am feeling from day to day, that I must give thanks for being able to continue working doing something I love.

In my last post I discussed some of the issues I've been having with finding the right medium to let people know what I'm doing and what I've been up to lately. I'm still having that issue, and I'm hoping it will be resolved with the relaunch of my website, www.oliviaburrell.com. It's been taken on and off the web for various reasons that are too long and complicated to explain now, but I finally have the support and direction I need to get the site back up and running again! The launch date will be on my birthday, August 18th, 2010.


Some other big news...the UNDERCOVER LOVER Reggae project I've been working on since last year, finally hits stores today! You can buy both albums, part one "UnderCover Lover - Cover Me - Tokyo Cafe" and part two, "UnderCover Lover - Cover Me - Sunset Beach" , on Amazon, iTunes, Tower Records, HMV and most record stores across Japan.

It's a very laid back, easy breezy approach to covering some of today's popular rock, reggae, alternative and pop songs, in lovers rock style. Perfect for a day at the beach, or some chill time at your favorite cafe! Please pick up a copy if you can!

UNDERCOVER LOVER "Cover Me - Tokyo Cafe Meets Reggae"

UNDERCOVER LOVER "Cover Me - Sunset Beach House"

Also....I just found out that Japan's most popular interior design and lifestyle shop, FRANC FRANC, has decided to put the CD in their store playlist and on their store shelves! This is especially great news since Franc Franc only sells house/dance music.  It's the first time ever for a reggae CD to be sold nationwide at their stores! should appear in their CD sections at the end of this month! History in the making!

I will have more great news in the weeks to come so keep reading!

PS.  For up-to-the-minute news on what I'm doing, please PLEASE pretty Please check my Twitter Account!

Some changes...

Happy Belated New Year!

I've had a lot of time off to think over the holidays, about my career, my future in Japan, and so on and so forth! I'll let you know about all of that in another post!

One thing I will talk about, is the future of this blog. I've tried a few things to keep the blog interesting, but I've not had much luck in keeping it updated! Part of the reason is because I really didn't feel that people were actually reading it! Not to mention the fact that it is quite tiring to translate all of my posts in Japanese every single time I write. I also realized that many Japanese readers aren't really familiar with Blogger. Most people make blogs on sites like Ameba or Livedoor that cater to a Japanese audience. Although I've been told by a few people that they've seen my blog, very few people actually leave comments on the message board.


So at first, I thought about closing this blog, and moving over to Ameba. I've kept an address on Ameba Blogs for a while now, but never used it.

But...

I don't really know how to use Ameba, and I feel much more comfortable using software in English. Also, moving my blog to a Japanese site would make it very difficult for my English readers to post comments, and I would end up having the same issue.

Then I found the answer!

Mixi!!

I've been on mixi for a long time, and even posted blogs entries in Japanese before I started this one.

So from today, I'll be splitting up my blog! The English one will remain here at

moreolivia.blogspot.com

My posts in Japanese will now be on Mixi like before. Look for this user name: Oli!

I hope you'll check both blogs! The English one will be more personal and in depth, as it is my native language!


Here's a brief explanation in Japanese(that I also posted on mixi)


もう遅いんですが、明けましておめでとうございます

あたし、mixi全然やってないんですね。すみませんでした

今マインにほぼ毎日アップデートしてるはツイッターですね!かなりはまってます。私のツイッター名はブログと同じくmoreolivia です!ぜひフォローして下さい!面白いよー。オリちゃん何してるのかな〜と思ったら、twitterにチェックするとすぐ分かる。私のストーカーなれるぐらい

あと、英語と日本語を混ぜて、

http://www.moreolivia.blogspot.com

でブログを書きましたが、日本語と英語を分けて、別々のブログにします。これから mixiで日本語のブログやりますのでよろしくお願いします。

今年もよろしくお願いします!!

Early You Tube Tuesday: Baby Dancing To Beyonce

I haven't been making regular posts in a while, as I have been touring with Miliyah and doing reggae events with Pushim at the same time, so as soon as i saw this I had to put it up! Enjoy!
