Hey everybody, it’s H.P. again.
Usually, we do a sing-along after a singer dies (“Hey, let’s do Bowie!” / “Hey, let’s do Leonard Cohen!”) but this is the first time people have asked to do a specific song of mine: “Animated TV Show” (which you can hear/see at this link: https://www.hpmendoza.com/atvs ) In case you haven’t seen our previous videos, here’s a few seconds of each…[more]

Hey everyone, so I didn’t have time to get a party together this year. My intention was to throw a party and catch up with folks now that I’m back in “real time”, but I at least want to share the song that I…[more]
It’s been three years since we’ve seen each other in person. You know where.
Remember when one of the Kickstarter rewards for my last film, Bitter Melon, was that I’d write a song about you? Well, I’m finally done with all 18 and I’m performing them live on May 23rd as the Closing Night Party of CAAMFEST (formerly known as the San Francisco International Asian American Film Festival) in celebration of Asian Pacific American Heritage Month (#APAHM).

Thanks to everyone who submitted a video to the "Mister Blue Sky" sing-along. We've all been going through a rough time, Mark and I just had to leave our apartment in Tokyo to move back to San Francisco as COVID-19 cases begin to peak in the United States AND Japan declares a state of emergency, so I'm really glad to be able to share…[more]
Ok…so the big Tokyo birthday bash has been canceled and even though we don’t know what’s going on, shit is NOT looking good right now, for any of us. So let’s do what we do! Here’s a new seed video:
So, today is my birthday and I was looking forward to doing my “go to” karaoke song, “Mister Blue Sky” by Electric Light Orchestra at my birthday party here in Tokyo!
Alas, I had to cancel the party because I got sick and had to quarantine myself and it looks like a lot of you are quarantining yourselves, too. So if you want something to do where we can all collaborate on something, help…[more]
The next online sing-along is “Everything is Broken”, my holiday song for the displaced that I wrote on Thanksgiving back in 2010 - the last Thanksgiving I spent with my nuclear family. WOMP WOMP! And now, here’s a video of me…[more]
First, a Saturn party (and thanks to all who came!) and now a live NOMAD at the Roxie? What could this all mean?!? Find out by getting your tickets HERE.
What does SATURN mean to you? Come decked out in Saturnian gear and dance to our newest Outdoor Chiptune Continuous Dance Karaoke set while various tourneys happen indoors (Smash Bros Ultimate, MarioKart 8 Deluxe, and more!)
Thanks to everyone who came to Mission Arcade on March 11! Unfortunately, I didn't get any footage of the awesome VR reactions in the front room, nor did we get footage of the MarioKart battles in the Ersatz room, but here is our "continuousdancekaraoke" concept in 2 minutes!
(We'll probably figure out a catchier name than "continuousdancekaraoke" at some point.)
And here is the Bay Area Flash Mob with the full performance of the "Evolution of Hip-Hop" routine!
If anyone took pictures of the 50lb pig or the Golden Record cake made by Mark Del Lima, please let us know!
We're celebrating the 40th anniversary of the Voyager launch! Come decked out in space gear and dance to our first hybrid Chiptune Karaoke Danceparty! You should know the location by the time you read this. Call one of us if you don't know.
