June Single release:Tsuyogari

6/8/11 was the release date of Shoko's 14th CD Single: "つよがり"
Tracks on this single unclude:

 つよがり (TSUYOGARI)
星屑ロマンス  (HOSHIKUZU ROMANCE)
Dangerous wild,you are!

The song will be(is?) the ending them for the anime “BEELZEBUB".
Tsuyogari means "show of courage" or "bluff". It would explain why the lyrics are very passionate.

All the songs on this single are great but I have to admit that I love the B sides more than the main song. Hoshikuzu romance seems nostalgic with it's chorus and is just a cute mellow song. While "Dangerous..." sounds like a nostalgic 80's anime intro. (Hoshikuzu could very well be the ending theme to this so called anime lol)

Recently Shokotan has been getting a little more Rock n Roll with her music and "Dangerous..." is no exception. This song is totally rock. The only other known song in which we get to hear Shoko rock out is "TYRANT too Young". Which I admit took some getting used to but it works. It still amazes me how she can be so darn cute but yet perform powerful songs such as this.

Overall, you can never go wrong in buying one of her singles.
Shoko's songs are always great if not excellent and there is never a shortage of wonderful "B Side" songs that will never be released on an album.

Shoko goes Crazy for Zelda 3DS!

A few days ago Shokotan was veeeery excited to get a copy of the sold out Zelda:3DS in Japan.

"It's here.....the "God Game" She is hilarious.

It's release date was a few days earlier than US.

I managed to grab a copy.

She asks in a later entry "Raise your hand if you've been playing a bunch in 2D even though it's got 3D" WWwwww I'm actually guilty of that LOL.

I love Zelda and I love her.  ❤

Welcome! Yokoso!

Hi, I'm LP. I have been a Shokotan fan since 2007. I Started this blog because I realized that there really aren't any american blogs/websites dedicated solely to Shokotan. 

For years I have been wanting to start one but wondered if I had the time to update. Finally I realized what is there to lose. I brought it up to my good friend David who is a giganto shoko fan as well and a giza cool person. He liked the idea and thus GizaPower! was born. Together we hope to bring you the most possible on news, & events.  

Visiting the US and performing at Anime Expo 2008 was a huge step forward in expanding her fanbase outside Japan. Many people had not even heard of the name Shokotan before her visit.

Now as she records more and more anime theme songs for series that are making their way to not just the US but other countries I feel that her fanbase will continue to grow. Hopefully this blog will help people who want to learn more about this cute, cat loving idol, artist, actress, model, voice talent, pokemon trainer....list goes on and on...

Don't be shy and feel free to comment and/or ask questions.. Feedback is welcomed. If you are not familiar with who Shoko Nagakawa aka Shokotan is, please stick around...you soon will! www

If you know who Shokotan is already then you do not need any further details and enjoy the blog.  I'm going to just jump right into it lol!
