See the MV for “Never Say Never” by Gina Hiraizumi

Gina Hiraizumi is a women who isn’t content to breaking through on only one front, instead opting to tackle several creative endeavors at once. The singer and actress has released a new single called “Never Say Never”. If you ever found yourself saying that today’s Pop music lacks positive energy and encouragement, then this may be the song for you. It’s a light-hearted Pop song that wouldn’t be too out of place in a Nick or Disney production.
