Sneko, J-Cover Artist & YouTube Sensation, Announced For TAKII 14!
July 9th, 2012 -- Upper Darby, PA -- While TAKII 14 ~New Year's Evolution~ might be several months away, we're not wasting any time in making news & history at the same time! The ink is still dry on her TAKII Talent Agreement, but The Asian Karaoke Idol Invitational is excited to announce its 1st "Brand-New Debut" for the season, J-Cover artist & YouTube sensation, Sneko! With many performances at other anime festivals/conventions under her belt & a voice reminiscent of a young Myco (lead singer for the J-Pop group Changin' my life (of Full Moon wo Sagashite fame)), she lovingly looks forward making an unforgettable 1st impression upon members of the TAKII family worldwide. From her official TAKII 14 bio:
"Making her Asian Karaoke Idol Invitational debut in time for TAKII 14 ~New Year's Evolution~, Sneko is 19 year-old J-Pop/J-Rock cover artist with a rabid following. A New York City native, she entertains audiences in the area with dances from Vocaloid, anime, & video games. She got her start on YouTube at Age 12 doing covers of her favorite songs. At age 15, Sneko made her live debut singing at an anime convention; a far cry from her computer-exclusive days. Since then, she has gone on to make appearances & win awards at Katsucon (2012), New York Comic Con (2012 & 2011), Sakura Matsuri (2011), PAS-con (2011), KotoriCon (2011 & 2012), & AnimeNEXT (2011 & 2012).
As a singer, Sneko is best known for a sultry, mature, & powerful voice; uncharacteristic of her sweet appearance, small stature, & young age. "A treat that can't be beat", fans get to experience the wonders of hearing their favorite Asian-themed songs sung live as only this young woman can do! Combined with original choreography, refreshing theatrical performances, & some unique fan interaction, Sneko embodies exactly what it means to be a guest performer at this particular season of "the world's most extreme Asian culture fusion festival". In a chat with &TEAM TAKII Coalition staff, she had this to say: "Konnichiwa! I have heard nothing but wonderful things about your lovely festival from my good friends Lady [Ai], Dokudel, Mario Bueno, & Elderberry (all TAKII guest/performer alumni). Knowing what your 14th season means to the TAKII family, I am truly honored to be a part of history in the making. Let's get this party started!""
Sneko now joins a showcase of TAKII immortals, including Mandy Mefford (Anime Expo Idol champion & Midnight Shinigami lead singer), Mario Bueno (another former Anime Expo Idol champion & aspiring voice actor/recording artist), & Elderberry (Asian vocal musician), who have previously more-than-proven themselves worthy of the adoration of our passionate TAKII fanbase. It takes a special breed of guest/performer to share their talents with The Asian Karaoke Idol & the &TEAM TAKII Guest/Performer Coalition would like to extend an invite to any talent (industry, indie, or otherwise) who wishes to join us for this momentous season!
