We always want to acknowledge young Asian American entertainers that are following their passion and making an impact overseas.  Lisa, who you may know as “aozorafantasii” on YouTube, has been very active in the indie scene for the last year since arriving to Japan.  As a fluent Japanese speaker and recent graduate of UC Berkeley,  Lisa initially went back to Japan to be an English instructor, but in the short time that she has been there,  has made quite a buzz through YouTube. Her music and nonstop devotion towards her craft continues to reach out to several thousands of her fellow Japanese and US followers.

Recently, she announced the release of an 8 song mini-album (4 covers and 4 original songs.) here (there’s an English translation toward the bottom). Here’s the track list:
