    Spread the word!!! + NEW SONG!!!

    This is a new song i've finished for the CD about dieting.

    To help me reach my goal and you receive your fun promo stuff, you can go to the "EATING IN JAPANESE" front page and just click the facebook button and it will post the page on your facebook page.
    Also, you can email the project to friends and show them what i'm doing.

    Enjoy the diet song!

    Lyrics
    PROTEIN x2
    CARBOHYDRATEx2

    If you eat just one, you apparently lose weight, but when I do that, I just gain weight

    Banana Diet
    Apple Diet
    Watermelon Diet
    Banana Diet

    If you do one of these diets, you apparently lose weight, but when I did that, I just gained weight

    funding date came too soon!

    Thanks to the holidays and deadlines, I didn't make enough of a push to promote this page.

    Hence, I've started the same project again a little more refined.

    http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/justindicenzo/eating-in-japanese

    So if you're still inclined to pledge, it'd be much obliged. As you know, the money you pledged isn't withdrawn until the funding goal is reached, so you're at no risk to re-pledge.

    Thanks so much for your support in my first go at this kickstarter thing. I have a better grasp on how to make this happen.

    Thanks!!

    I wonder if I can restart this project....

    So I should probably run this project again and actively search out ways to get this CD known.

    i have enough demos and work in progress that I could probably make this happen within the next 3 months.

    Small failures are good!

    THanks to everyone who reached out to support this project!

    It will happen with funding or not. somehow!

    The DEBU music video.

    I will not be portraying the debu character in my video like below, but this is the gist of what I plan on creating.

    【Debu】

    でぶ不細工
    fat ugly
    と言われるの辛い
    these words are hurtful
    ちびミクロ
    a little micro
    お前に言われたくない
    person like yourself shouldn't say anything

    迷惑しないで
    let me be

    黄色い 白い
    Yellow or white
    どっちでもいいんじゃない?
    what's it matter what color you are

    心あるやろ?
    Don't you have a heart?
    同じ人間でさ
    we're all just human

    迷惑しないで
    let me be
    迷惑しないで
    let me be
    迷惑したら殺すぞ
    if you don't..i'll kill u...

    <三味線ソロ>
    でぶ不細工
    fat & ugly
    と言われるの好き
    i don't mind these words

    ちびミクロ
    small & micro
    で別にいいんじゃない?
    who cares?

    迷惑しないで
    let me be

    PEANUT BUTTER

    The song Peanut Butter has been written.

    When I was a child I used to get peanut butter all over the place.

    This never settled well with my parents.

    I still get peanut butter all over the place. That's why I don't eat it in my own home. hahaha. I stick to almond butter personally.

    The Debu doesn't know what almond butter is...He only knows about JIF.

    I have begun recording the song, but haven't started on the vocals.
