Somewhere, in another universe, I never switched majors in college. I finished my teaching and vocal performance degrees, graduating with honors and taught high school music. I would sing in regional professional choirs. Maybe I’d even teach students private voice lessons.
Instead, I became a communications major.
It’s the Leap Year, the day that only comes once every four years. It’s the first (and only) Leap Year on my blog. So I thought I’d do something you only really ever see about every four years from me.
I’d like to sing for you.
I don’t regret switching majors – I probably would have been miserable trying to juggle either a teaching or performance career or both at the same time. And I know for a fact I don’t have the wherewithal to survive the classical performance industry. But I do wonder what Bizarro Keiko must be up to in her alternate universe, canary-ing away…
So for this Leap Year, allow me to indulge my inner soprano. Nothin’ fancy pants about this video – just me and my webcam, and a whole belly full of song.
Enjoy.

Kikoi, you have a lovely voice.
Thank you for sharing it with us. And what a lovely song, too. 
Holy smokes, woman! That is beautiful!!
Happy Leap Year, indeed!!!
Oh that is just beautiful!!!! Happy leap year to you!!
So fun to join you in your alternate universe on this leap day! I love that you indulged your inner soprano and did this. Seriously woman, is there anything you can’t do?! Your singing voice is as beautiful as so many of your other talents that I already knew about. Thank you for sharing and a very Happy Leap Day/Year to you to!
Gorgeous! I’m so impressed right now!
That was awesome! Happy Leap Day!!
The bright spot of my work day! Thank you for sharing your beautiful voice with us.
Beautiful, Keiko. I already knew you were a voice for infertility, but I had no idea you were also such a lovely soprano!
Dude. Seriously. What CAN’T you do?
I am so so jealous! You are a beautiful singer. That’s the big talent I totally wish I had, and totally don’t have. I can’t carry a tune in a bucket.
Have you ever thought about singing with a volunteer group or opera society or something? It’s a shame to keep that talent under wraps! I know you have LOADS of free time
