Keiko Takamura is a resident avatar of the online game, Second Life . Encouraged by fellow online musicians and a strong response from her fans, she signed on to Multiverse Records around May 2006 and is still continuing her virtual solo career.
Though she dabbles in art and other creative projects, music is her primary means of expressing herself in ways she couldn't otherwise. As a young girl, she was taught to never talk back or otherwise say anything contrary, so she had to channel her unheard voice into songs, which she kept to herself and her close circle of friends. "Singing is just a more socially acceptable form of screaming," she says.
Now diagnosed with PTSD, Keiko must voice her unheard stories through her music to overcome her past and finally experience a sense of self-worth.
She is also known in real life (or RL, as we affectionately refer to it in-game) as Amy Te.
Reviews from other SLers:
Dolmere Talamasca: Her material is worth a large audience. If you've not seen her yet you owe it to yourself to take the time and see a show.
Glitchy Commons: awesome voice, awesome song! oustatnding! [sic]
Thought Plasma: MVR is very lucky ;)
River Evans shouts: We love you Takamura. I mean Keiko.
Keeme Brown: I love her !!!
Veronica Heyse: your voice is so beautiful Keiko, are you a recording artist masquerading here?
Marcus Coleman: You are an amazing artists with incredible talents. I clean, work out, and just about everything else to your tunes now. :3 Keep it up, Keiko.
Malbogio Newchurch: Beautiful stuff... every time you play another song so damn magically I decide I can't decide. I know you seem unstoppable, but I know a guy who knows a guy who's cousin is 90% sure he can get us some kryptonite.
