I hope your mother is doing better no...Hello Kate,<br /><br />I hope your mother is doing better nowadays. We all do what we can in our own ways to support our loved ones when there are hardships. Please don't feel guilty about the choices you've made in life. It is also very important to not forget about yourself, and pursue what makes you happy. I bet that your loved ones want to see you be happy as well. You have amazing talent, both musically and artistically, and I am sure that everything you are working towards will pay off in the end. I wish you and your family good luck and good health, and look forward to the chance to buy your next album when it comes out. :)<br /><br />DarkSunnyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04853226160397172532noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6552974544653449128.post-88549965191236694512013-04-06T12:43:37.189-07:002013-04-06T12:43:37.189-07:00I second this.

In the last seven years, my strength has waned to the point where even painting or playing the piano a short while will jeopardize my ability to get out of bed the next day. As Laura's already said, your music is an invaluable source of comfort and encouragement to me - something my quest for answers in the medical community has been sadly lacking in.<br /><br />I can't speak for your mother, bless her...but, I can say that what you do can help where doctors can't.

I bought your album, I live in Brazil, and my husband and I listen to it all the time. <br /><br />I love writing - I'm writing a fantasy novel, and your music helps me so much... I really just wanted to thank you, very, very much. Know that you touch many hearts with your gift. <br /><br />I hope your mother is getting better, and you will both be in my prayers. I really hope someday you'll get the recognition you deserve. <br /><br />I wish all the best for you!

Never sell yourself short. Yes, you didn...Kate,<br /><br />Never sell yourself short. Yes, you didn't choose the more extravagant career such as the medical field, but you're in a position where you want to be, and I hope that deep down you don't regret anything. I'm actually going down the medical career path, but in all honesty, despite me wanting to help people, my heart lies in my art that I create. And so here I am admiring you from afar.<br /><br />I've been wanting to buy your CD for the past few months now, but right now, things are looking a bit grim financially, so it will have to wait for a few more months. But I am sorry to hear about what you're going through.

Sorry to hear things has been tough lately. ...Kate,<br />Sorry to hear things has been tough lately. You have a true gift not many others have. You are meant for greatness, your music is truly something heavenly. I remember how excited I was when I received your album way back then. Kept me happy for a very longtime. Sorry to hear people illegally put your music on the internet. Your mom will be in my thoughts and hope she gets better soon. Never hold in how you feel, I did that for 29 years, in then end it did more harm than good. I am finally able to share everything, it really helps.<br /><br />Take care,<br />CoryAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11184076363653397303noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6552974544653449128.post-5409933503666857802012-06-14T12:14:38.141-07:002012-06-14T12:14:38.141-07:00I can't wait to hear your new music!!! DDD: I ...I can't wait to hear your new music!!! DDD: I think in the end, spending so much time getting the harp piece right will pay off, and you'll be so happy. C:<br /><br />Honestly, you are one of the nicest people I have seen on the internet; I don't know why people would want to play a prank on you, and that is really awful and mean. They'll get what's coming to them. And also people, it baffles and upsets me that people who have the audacity to "like" or "friend" you on facebook tell you that they have the right to argue with you about your career and need to survive; those people aren't your fans... just really awful jerks. You are great and wonderful. *w* <br /><br />My own Mom was in and out of the hospital for so long, so I know how you feel. Of course you know, I chose the path of being artist, and I too feel bad and guilty for not being able to support my family, especially on top of wanting to be an "artist" I have mild scoliosis and a generally messed up spinal discs. I hope you can hang in there for her, (as well as yourself) and I know that as a musician herself, she must be incredibly proud of her daughter for not only following in her footsteps, but becoming extremely talented through her hard work, successful and getting contacted by Yasunori Mitsuda... even if that didn't pan out the way you wanted too, it's still something. <br /><br />Anyway, this has been long and mushy but please don't give up. You've gone too far and we all love you and you're music too much so if you stop, know we're all going to pester you everyday to start singing again. <br /><br />Take care of yourself!<br />MattieMattie Goadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04626383078922479686noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6552974544653449128.post-56467888476223853842012-06-14T10:48:53.156-07:002012-06-14T10:48:53.156-07:00Hey Kate,
Coming from a fellow musician, you'...Hey Kate,<br /><br />Coming from a fellow musician, you've got major guts. Coming from a huge fan, please don't give up. My family and I all love your music. You are far too talented to follow a medical position or something "average." <br />Now, coming from a game designer...<br />Kate, if the title I'm working on were a bigger project with money, I would hire you in a second. I WANT your music in my game. But I can't this time. Who knows, maybe after a Kickstarter campaign or possibly with a later game when I have better established my own company (which right now is just 9 people working in a friend's basement).<br /><br />My point is, if game designers are showing interest in your talent, and you want to make video game music for a living--we share a common dream--then you have a foothold in the industry, and all you have to do is keep doing what you're doing and not give up.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01033878043951629647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6552974544653449128.post-72185229662540891712012-06-14T10:18:40.246-07:002012-06-14T10:18:40.246-07:00Kate,

We all love you very much, and I proudly say that I purchased your album from you and would never get it from anyone else. I listen to it quite often and never grow tired of it. Keep fighting the good fight and I'm sure everything will be alright. My dreams of making a living through music have long since died(all that money wasted on equipment and setting up the studio, I feel a fool.) I refuse to see the day when you too give up that dream. Embrace Your Dreams and always protect your honor!(Total Zack Fair steal there) <br /><br />Anyway, through dealing with and defeating life's trials we grow stronger. I have absolute faith that you will too and that your new album will be absolutely phenomenal when it is done. Your attention to detail and perfectionist nature will see to that. You will be in my thoughts and prayers. As the name that I signed in under implies, I am going to be trying to make a new way in my life by making cosplay props and armor, that is the path that I have now decided to take, because I honestly feel that the path of an artist of some variety is the only path for me in life. Take care of yourself and I look forward to new music from you. I will be watching and listening, never forget that.<br /><br />Much love and hugs, Gamoden.Gamoden(Cosplay Armory)https://www.blogger.com/profile/04543230972323198851noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6552974544653449128.post-50298129171981981822012-06-14T10:02:34.850-07:002012-06-14T10:02:34.850-07:00Your courage is admirable.

I would never even have thought of looking for an illegal download of your music, because you are wonderful and special and you're not the kind of famous people who can afford to have a few hundred album sales stolen from you illegally. I hope the people who did it get what they deserve from the universe.<br /><br />I'd love to own your album, and I'm one of the people who can't afford it. But someday. I will.

Your profile on YouTube is the first one I've ever subscribed. I was amased that You cover music from my beloved Final Fantasy series and its so great that you decided to go pro and You create high-quality material, while still being close to Your fanbase. World needs more musicians like You.<br /><br />Don't give up Kate, the world needs Your music. Release new albums, publish through iTunes if You haven't and You'll eventally make loads of money, because goddamit, You deserve it. Haven't bought Your CD yet, but I will in this month and I'm SO looking forward to it.<br /><br />Keep up it Kate and good luck!<br /><br />- Maciek, PolandTantalushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00892763488112782176noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6552974544653449128.post-59047961052354781872012-06-14T02:56:50.916-07:002012-06-14T02:56:50.916-07:00Kate, I just want to thank you so, so much for wor...Kate, I just want to thank you so, so much for working so hard to make your music! It's such an inspiration to me the way you keep persevering, even when life is hard.<br /><br />I have an illness that keeps me bedridden and in pain a great deal of the time, but I have a dream to be a writer. Your music is such a wonderful comfort and encouragement! I feel like having a dream is possible, even for me.<br /><br />I'm sure your music has touched more people than you realize, and who knows how many more you could touch in the future? Please keep following your dream! I will follow my dream too. :) <br />~LauraUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02777907059071218423noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6552974544653449128.post-84985606605440916452012-06-14T02:12:57.465-07:002012-06-14T02:12:57.465-07:00It's really sad that your album was illegally ...It's really sad that your album was illegally uploaded on to other websites.

I don't know if this is comforting but you know, I really admire your talents and your courage to use the gifts God has given you. You had the courage to follow your heart(not everyone can do that-- and we as your fans are glad you did as you music IS not only pleasing to the ears but also speaks to our hearts and souls in ways mainstream music never could) and I am certain as with many other endeavors, if you do your best, there WILL come that big break for you just don't expect it to come a certain way. For one, you've had that message about going to Japan right? Whether it gets followed through or not, that in itself is a sign or a "teaser" of better things in the future. Don't give up and guilty as you may be at times which is understandable, each choice has its ups and downs and this phase is part of it but the positive side of it is: it will pass. It might help to think that tribulations are only a temporary state of deviation from our original state which is abundance and bliss. I personally believe this and it lifts my mood(I hope I don't sound too confusing!! >.<)Besides, You have met many wonderful people and experienced many things, developed many talents through this choice of yours yes? So it's not totally a waste. You are touching everyone with both your music and the passion you put ever so lovingly into it. Keep going! <br /><br />lovelots and looking forward to your next album,<br />Janineaiphos_canaanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15541969426736864526noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6552974544653449128.post-36210889495774949012012-06-14T02:04:22.364-07:002012-06-14T02:04:22.364-07:00Thanks for telling us Kate!
