Keiko on MTV

Awhile ago, I think it was perhaps Dec of 2006 MTV did a small feature which showed Frogg and Keiko...  it was like a 10-15 minute news story.

This time Keiko is back for her own special?  so I hear...

anyone have the link to this?

The True Life episode won't be airing until sometime in May. Believe me, everybody and their mothers will be informed!! <3

I've been searching for ya the past few days for a pre-air leaked on the net.    If I can find it, I'll post it here.

Keiko..when you inform my mother...can you tell her I been waiting at the bus stop for 35 years and she has not picked me up from soccer practice - I am starting to worry.

LOL Tommy...you want me to swing by and give you a lift?..should only be about 16 hours from the UK..and then I'll have to hire a car and stuff..call it a round 24 hours..but than after 35 years waiting that's probably not a big deal for you to wait a day longer Smile

Keiko..I dont know you bit I just wanted to say this is amazing coverage for both yourself and the SL music scene. I think most SL musicians would be happy to lop off a non essential part of their body to get featured on MTV like this. Good luck...go girl!!!  Very Happy

I can't wait to see the Gaucho on the moving picture box.

Woooooot, go Keiko!!!!!

I hate to sound like an ingrate, but I want you all to know that MTV only bothered to cover my story because I fit their demographic. I'm a young, hip, 20-something who's doing something CRAZY (playing live in SL). The whole thing isn't so much about my music, it's more about me being a shy recluse who gets encouragement and support from my friends and fans in SL.

It was three months of shooting for less than half an hour of an episode. They would come over, tell me to go here, do this, talk about that. That's reality TV for you. But hopefully they got the essence of what I'm going through, and admittedly, I wouldn't have had the cajones to go out and try playing in RL if they weren't constantly hounding me.

I'm also hoping that this episode raises the profile of musicians in SL and challenges preconceived notions of SL users. Not all of us are pedophiles and/or jihadists in training, y'know?

Ben Rosen told me that the episode will be airing on May 3rd.... have they changed that date Keiko?
keikotakamura

He said editing has been slow, so they may have to push back the airdate.

Zak Claxton

I am aware I am outside the US but I still tried to play it..funny how we do things like that...MTV segment up the world so they can sell their stuff region by region..oh and they suck  Rolling Eyes
Doubledown Tandino

what's the coooooooolest is that in that preview for the upcoming, they flashed approx 50 or so people.... and Keiko is the best coolest person out of everyone pictured.     everyone other than her was muuuuch worse than Keiko.
keikotakamura

Airdate!

Ben says the show will be premiering 5/29 at 10pm est. So that's 7pm SLT.
Jojamela Soon

Bumping this cause tonigt is the night!!!
keikotakamura

Hold your flame mail horses, though, this might not turn out as bad as I fear...


...Wishful thinking, huh?
Doubledown Tandino

It's 9pm EST.. watching the 2 hr LOST finale...

and then im all about Keiko.. I'll see if I can find it uploaded online tomorrow so we can all check it
keikotakamura

For those of you who are in the US, the episode is here:

http://www.mtv.com/overdrive/?id=1586148&vid=236311

So, that could have gone much worse than it did. I mean, right? I think the general consensus was that I was the most "normal". I think my segment was like the feel-good comic relief-y one. Lines like, "I'm not so much excited as I am nauseous" and "I can do the same vacant stare! *stare* ............." are going to go down in history, I think. I'm sad they cut out "I can't tell if I'm smelling pastries or weed." I'm also sad they cut out the Rock-It Room show!! PHILIP FUCKING LINDEN WAS THERE! How could they not show that?! Ah well.

So what happened the night of? Lemme tell you. I had a SL show at the exact same time the episode was on, so I got all these IMs from people during my gig. I didn't want to lose potential fans, so I TPed them. Onto the stage. Hahah. My Myspace blew up, and I got like 100+ friend adds. 19 downloads of my one free download song. ZERO MP3S SOLD. Bah. What are ya gonna do?
Jojamela Soon

thanks for posting that link, I was watching the show out of the corner of my eye so being able to watch it online is cool.

I loved the way you laughed as you tp'd people in, too funny, what a great time.   You're a wonderful musician Keiko, love ya!
RayW

REALLY GREAT, Keiko!!!!  I truly resonate with the journey you are on.  That is one cool story they did of you.

Sing it out!

Hey, I may not be a 12-year old girl getting inspired by your songs. Wink
But, I'm inspired!  Goes to show you, you never know WHO you will touch.
Just do it!

Fun having Grace in there, too.
Norris Shepherd

GRRRRrrrrr..  "Copyright prevents this video from playing outside the US."

somebody Youtube it and let the few of us in un-populated areas know when/where it is on youtube.
Doubledown Tandino

YAAY! Keiko!

Yay agoriphobics!  UNITE!  ... but not together with eachother

Boo to agoriphobia.  it sucks.


Congrats Keiko....  cant wait to see ya on True hollywood Stories
ka-klick

Thanks for posting the web address. You rock girl. I thought you came off great. You have nothing at all to be insecure about. ever. I definitely feel your pain about the "room full of voice chatters" - worse yet is places that have really noisy blenders or espresso machines, eek.

Just remember, you're not going to be every one's cup of chai all the time everywhere and it's OK. It can be rough, but if you connect with even one or two folks, it can be totally worth it. Was a really nice episode.

Thanks for using one of my mics in at least one of those shots btw Wink

This is only the first minute and a half from the show, but it's for those of you who are outside the US ad can't see it anyhow:

Also, mucho thanks to everyone for the nice comments and support, and to those of you who helped me make this episode happen. :3 It felt like 3 months of being jerked around with a camera shoved up my nose, but the finished product wasn't too bad at all.
Doubledown Tandino

yeah, I think mtv totally did ya super good.   Your story is personal, warm,touching, has an arc, and is surrounded by sexual deviants so it makes you look even better.
BabbleGrabble

I couldn't agree more. Congrats, Keiko!

I mean (and no offense to the other two cause they had cool stories).. but it was basically like "this first girl is an online evil sinful whore that is a miscreant and deviant bottom dweller.  then our second girl is a bright bundle of sunshine flower rainbows and is getting famous with her music,  and finally the 3rd girl is a crack addicted sex offender who is also leading a sexual deviant life...."
Slim Warrior

You are  as always very awesome Keiko!

Thankyou for posting so we could see a little of it outside of the US.
I really hope you can post up more about you, not  the other two!

Well, DD, I'll take my chances with Girl #3 and my guess is Tatum O'Neal.

What do I win?

(Congratulations, Keiko.  This break-out into RL stuff is pretty great to see Smile
Doubledown Tandino

I was sorta swaying towards number 1... but then i saw number 2 and WOW!!!!   that's my pick
Distilled1

Fantastic Keiko!

I think you came off looking great and yes "normal" .. heck who is normal, none of us musicians are, if they say they are then they certainly are not a musician LOL Very Happy
Doubledown Tandino

I wish you were wearing somethin fly like FUBU or some bling or somethin

hahaha
elvisduffy

Doubledown Tandino

"on this episode we'll meet three people,   one is a transgendered hermaphrodite that uses his nipples to tune into MTV sattelites.   The 2nd is a music forum poster that wants the world to see MTV videos.  and the third person is a sex-crazed latex grannie that collects old tapes of ColinQuinn's "Remote Control" gameshow
