Social LIfe

When I first learned about bots on YouTube I was not surprised about that people would actually pay for youtube subscribers. I mean I can find people who have quit their day jobs and have become full time You Tube partners. I cannot name anyone who has become rich from just using Twitter. You will not find a book on How I became rich by just using Twitter. Twitter does not allow the ability to do things you can do with Facebook. You might say I want to have the attention but not the stalkers. Then create a Facebook fan page at least you can type a paragraph on your Facebook fan Page. You try to make an eligible paragraph on Twitter you cannot that is the reason why you see pop stars and Rap stars use twitter because they cannot make a complete thought. You Ask, Toru why do you have a Twitter? I have a Twitter because I know if I did not Someone would probably make a fake account and ruin my good name. I cannot remember the amount of Sachie Cruel and Venus Angelic accounts that I have had to erase in my life as an editor for J-pop dancers. Rumors have spread of people posing on Blogtv using my name. If you see someone on Blogtv with my name let me know you will find me on Blogtv with talents such as AnimeVoiceKiddo or Beckii Cruel maybe Kimonotime, Zoompha (Emily), Hannii Joy and Rebekah Cruel or the artist formally known as Rebekah Cruel and that is about it. 

Oh well enough of the silliness I will show you who has fake Twitters !

Barack Obama

Fake: 41%
Inactive: 29%
Good: 30%

Lady Gaga

Fake: 43%
Inactive: 34%
Good: 23%

Justin Bieber

Fake: 31%
Inactive: 33%
Good: 36%

Katy Perry

Fake: 42%
Inactive: 38%
Good: 20%

Mitt Romney

Fake: 12%
Inactive: 30%
Good: 58%

Rihanna

Fake: 45%
Inactive: 34%
Good: 21%

Now I do not judge them for having fake Twitters I bet half or maybe more then half that I have mentioned do not take care of their own public relations which is not a bad idea. There is a reason why I have distant myself from certain people is because of their stupid post on their social accounts. Certain people are poison. The answer is that twitter must die it was a dumb idea. I have enough problems keeping up with all the Internet social networks as it is. We do not need another now that we have Tumbler or Facebook. I think twitter is a passing fad like My Space and eventually will go away. I think however we may see a rise of My space due to the cosplay accounts that have been deleted on Facebook You can find out who has Fake accounts by using this tool Status People. My lovelies have a wonderful day I will see you on Facebook as a post the top ten in a few.

Why do we do what we do?
 By Sean Bartlett
 1. Why video?
   We grew up in the music video age and we think that a video needs to keep moving and every action that is used from a convention is like a choreographed dance to music. Some action shots we like are cos-players hugging, Swords slashing, zombie shooting and karate kicking.
 We are not Photographers and never claimed to be. You want to shoot a skit or a dance video we are the men you call and most of time we keep sound equipment just in case we need it. We will work with other photographers and many cases you will see one we dragged along with us.
2. Why No names?
 We respect the anonymity of every dancer and cos-player.  We figure there are over hundreds of conventions a year. There is a good chance we will see you again. So giving us your real name is not necessary and we are  not going to give it out. If you are dressed as England We will call you England. I have said this before if were going to work together again it will happen. If we don't. We don't. There is no need to worry about it.
3 . Why is every one to us is important?
You are an artist and a very important person to the art process so if I do not thank you afterwards I am thanking you now.
 I do not care about your status on youtube or how many likes you have on face book, if you made a schedule with us we are going to try our best to keep that schedule regardless if the greatest dancer and Cos-player comes along. The greatest artist is the one I am working with right now. We try to be men of our word.
4. Why Youtube?
 I love youtube and there is one other website at the moment that can compete with youtube but we can only release one video a week in HD. We are releasing at least three a week. I love youtube, to me it is not just a social network it is a place for someone to be noticed. Toru Takanuru is a video editor and he wants to be noticed  and you the cos-player or Dancer this is the place to get recognized. We try to tell everyone that they will be on youtube and we try to make sure we have permission from them before releasing footage.
5. Why High fives?
 This is something new. This is the appreciation ceremony afterwards. When we first started everyone would end the video with hugs . I like the High five better. It gives everyone a feeling like they are part of the team and you are. I will Hug someone I know.
6. Why we like loud People ?
 During filming this is not the time to keep quiet. If you have a better place to film let us know. You have an Idea that would attract more views let us know. Do not be quiet this is a team effort. If you want attention you are going to probably to get it from us.
7. How should you act?
 You should act like your having the best time of your life. We want you have fun and stay comfortable. If you feel sick let us know. We can take a break. Please drink plenty of water and stretch properly we do not want any injuries. I am going to try to capture that great smile. If security wants us to move we will move but we can go outside or some where else. Every town has a Wal-Mart.
8. Why we do not know every Anime?
 When I was a kid Anime was Sailor Moon or the Transformers and GI Joe. So please do not get mad if I do not know every Character from some girly Romance Anime . I do not play Video Games either so I doubt I will recognize some Obscure online Game Character.I am a Science Fiction Fan and I love Horror Movies so I easily recognize a Star Wars,Star Trek or scary Movie Cos-play. I am sure your Costume is great and if you made it yourself  let us know. We are more likely to spend time with you because we appreciate any artist who works hard.

2 years and what I have learned

1.  Anything That is positive will probably get criticized on the net.
  If you are expected to get praised for being a positive person you're going to get a big surprise because the ban of  the trolls and Internet haters will get together to try to bring you down because they are jealous that they did not have the idea first.
Goal setting is something I have practiced all my life. Some see it as part of steps of positive motivation. If you do not write your goals down you will not have any Idea of where you are going. Goal setting is like writing a list down before you go the the grocery store. Keep your mind filled with positive thoughts do help regardless of what you might think. Garbage in is Garbage out you fill your mind full of worry and doubt and you come out as someone who is full of worry and doubt.
2. Do not get involved.
 I think in most men there is a gentleman inside waiting to get out and express his chivalry and it's not different in the community. My advice would be to stay out of it especially if you do not know the person. I have find that some young ladies like attention and will have a bit of fun with you and will use it against you regardless of how nice of a deed you think you were doing.

3.You cannot Believe everything on the net
  If you get news of someone on the net go to them send them an email, found out for yourself do not take one side of the argument and especially if you do not know the person and they are just acquaintances on the net. There are just too many horrible rumors out there and I go to the person and I actually find out the truth..

4. Do not push Relationships just let things come natural
 I knew when I reached my first anniversary I wanted to go beyond just tribute videos. It took a year
   but I gained enough trust to proceed with collaborations but it was enough to get the go ahead for my collaborations. I think If I acted so anxious I think it would scare anyone. The same goes to Subs let them come naturally as well you will find a better audience and it will give a closer relationship to your subscribers.
 I think a young New dancer will have a hard time to adjust to any change especially when they have a swarm of new subscribers and then they will have a hard time emotionally dealing with the changes. Especially when the Subscribers start cancelling then there is the creep factor. The Creep Factor is where some guys mistake your video for some "booty shaking" site just to think that your some attention whore.When they find out that your not some easy "tart" they will drop there subs as well. Beware of any fast gaining subscriptions, try to keep things as natural as possible.

5. Video Editors are not creepy they just edit film footage.
 That's right when I get Film footage and it is just my job to edit the footage. Apparently some jealous girls find that hot guys like me editing footage is creepy. Editing footage is fun and that is why I do it. Some people like to dance, I like to edit and some girls like to gossip then try to pose as dancers guess what they are gossipers not dancers. I would not get any advice from someone who gossips and does not post their dances online.
 I would get my advice from someone who face the lions den every day.

6. Take care of the Real People in your life not the Internet people.
  I have no desire to know about people I will never meet but I have interest in those people that I will meet. You know those people who I plan to collaborate with. I have a full itinerary of several people and I still am excited. If you think the dancers I have Collaborated with were cute well they are just about to get cuter.
 I will end on a Happy note. The first Thing I will do when I reach my second Anniversary is to take a week off and maybe go enjoy nature a bit.

Yay guys a new video! This video is so fun and peppy and I love how Kacy looks in her Panda outfit!

Venus And the controversy continues!

 I think I first liked Venus Angelic's Videos when she did different things that a lot of dancers did not do. I am always attracted to dancers' videos where they do new stuff something that catches the eye. It has become tougher and tougher to do new stuff  because there are so many dancers doing different things to catch the eye. It is a task to do new stuff. If you do new stuff you still have to wait for things to settle after the zombie masses who want the same thing to fade out with their opinion to wait for it to impact. I feel everything that Venus is doing right now is a careful marketing ploy thought by a crafty yet and intelligent mother/promoter.

 I have no problems with Venus Angelic it is something I wished I had thought of. Unlike most of us on you tube Venus and her mother are you tube partners they receive a check from google as their videos get more views this why as of lately you will see more of Venus doing things that are not copyrighted, for instance her popular Make up tutorials which of lately has made me lose interest. It's not that her Make up tutorials are bad its just I am beautiful enough.                                                                                                                                 

   Now on to things that I see. Venus is Obviously a beautiful young lady and definitely has a chance to be a model in her future. There was a time when I felt she had become a bit of a lone wolf or kitty whatever floats your boat. A lot of people think Venus is mean because of her Eastern European up bringing I admit the westerners have a bit of tolerance level but deep inside we wish we were less patient with people. The thing that is hard on our community is that we have to depend on a lot on the net to communicate we sometimes swap phone numbers but that is such a rarity and it is not a bad idea to keep your number private. I do not give mine out besides when I am working I technically cannot answer my phone. I must give my client complete and full attention I mean they are paying my salary so I am careful with who I give my number out. The reason I dropped several of accounts of Venus on the net is because I did not know which were fake and which were real. The only real account that I knew about was formspring but she decided to drop that. Anybody who knows me know I love formspring and when she dropped that I could feel this separation between other dancers was happening.  I understand getting away from a lot of the net for protection is a good Idea unfortunately Venus' popularity thrives on the net. She is part of a an influence on the net but she has followed many of the success of other net sensations. I think she sees other young ladies as more of competition. You have to think if your talking to Venus you are talking to Venus Angelic Inc or her Mother/Promoter not just her.
 Only one  Western girl has truly mastered the art of Nico Nico Douga and as many who want to be successful have followed the Young girls success. Venus has followed as well. Unless you have the Patent on what or how to get views there is no way you can stop that. I have seen some influences of mine on other videos but you cannot complain you have to think of Plagiarizing as a form of a compliment.
