Good day friends of Hive Open Mic Community. Welcome to Hive Open Mic Week 167. The theme of the week says "Otaku".

For Hive Open Mic 167, we will explore the following theme: "Otaku." This is a unique Japanese word describing the fans of anime. This theme is chosen by our community's recent Spotlight Artist: @eudarcabello. Everyone is encouraged to express and connect through: Otaku.

I understand this theme to mean lovers of animation. During my early childhood stage, I enjoyed a variety of animation based shows. One of my favourites of such productions is Barbie. As a lover of art and music, I was drawn by the music. I loved every bit of it and I learnt to sing along each time I watched the movie again.

I have chosen to sing one of the songs in the anime production. The title of the song is "I Need To Know".

Lyrics
Where is the land I come from?
Who lives where I was born?
Why do my memories start with a storm?
What if I have a family, somewhere beyond the sea
Could there be someone there missing me?
Tell me why I'm not sleeping cos my heart is leaping inside me
Could it be one of those times when your feelings decide.

Is that the tree he sleeps in?
What can he see from there?
Could there be new horizons to share
Why does he look through circles?
Why does he hide his feet?
Why do I feel so shy when we meet?
All these questions keep turning and churning and burning inside me?
What are these feelings I feel when you're here by my side

I need to know these answers
I need to find my way
Seize my tomorrow
Learn my yesterday
I need to take these chances
Let all my feelings show
Can't tell what's waiting
Still I need to know
I need to go
