NATION CHORUS - Interviewer [open]

• Shizuo wrote on 2012-05-25 01:01
  Like to sing? Then why not take part in the Nation Chorus? 8D
  
  This is an idea I came up with a couple minutes ago and thought it would be fun to do. Basically, you can sign up for a song, sing it, and send me the file so I can mix it in a chorus. There will be deadlines for when you can sign up, so be quick!
  
  There will only be one song project at a time. This thread will be updated when there's a new song to sign up for.
  
  So, the first song we'll be doing is [S]"Smiling Together."[/s] "Interviewer."
  
  Here's the song:

  The deadline to sign up for this is [SIZE="5"]Sunday, September 16.[/SIZE] I'll extend it if there's not enough people.
  
  The deadline for getting recordings in is [SIZE="5"]Sunday, October 7.[/SIZE] This may be extended as well if the other one is.
  
  Here are some rules as well:
  1. When you send me your file, please send me the raw recording. That means no background music, no effects, just your voice.
  2. If you want, you don't have to sing the entire song. You can only sing parts of it if you want. Just post which parts you'll be singing so other people will know (only if you won't be singing the whole thing).
  3. Red is the deadline for sign-ups. Green is the deadline for sending in your recordings.
  4. When you sign up, please post an icon that you want to be represented by. When I make the video, I want to put up icons with everyone's names under them (like in the Nico Choruses).
  
  The channel is here:
  Nation Chorus Channel
  I know it says "Muyo Katsura", but it won't let me change that for some reason o.e; Anyway, that's the channel I'll upload the videos to when I'm done mixing them.
  Well, that's pretty much it! Have fun singing!
  When you sign up, I'll put your name in the area below.

  There. I changed it to a song that I was going to use for the next project, but I'll go ahead and do it now since you wanted something in English c:

  Sounds so fun --- I wish I had a good mic that didn't sound like it had radio noises in it. ;__;

  I have a program that can clean up the sound on recordings, so it probably won't be much of a problem xD

  I'll sign up for it --- Although I have some trouble with the higher notes of the song, so I will try my best ;;
  
  Also, at around 3:50 where the subs disappear in the video, we're singing that beyond it, or just up to where the subs disappear? D:
  
  Assuming it's these lyrics from the Youtube video too --
  
  [SPOILER="Spoiler"]The popular songs they just always tell me
  'Your life is so precious' but that I don't see
  And even if somebody else would replace my life
  No one would care and that's not a surprise
  
  These unchanging days where we look for our goal
  We're looking for a seat where we can place our lives not in control
  We're don't know how to amount to anything
  This is stopping our hearts from living
  
  This wound was starting to become a scab
  But when I started itching it, it had to start anew
  And all the words began to blur a second time
  I just want to listen to saddening songs
  
  Just hear me when I'm asking, what music do you like?
  Just hear me when I'm asking, what food do you like?
  And will you tell me, who is the person that you like?
  I mean it couldn't be, a person who is insecure like me
  
  I covered up my ears so I freely could scream
  The words that came was 'no one is understanding'
  But even if I'd only get it superficially
  I only wanted, for you to love me
  
  If you're not amounting to anything
  Pretending you've accomplished everything
  By mending just your outside and looks so you can feel free
  You'll smile, and no one will see
  
  I wonder what will finally be good enough?
  Just tell me what is fine, and don't try to play tough
  It's depressing, this time on the day
  Then I will get some sleep until I'm okay
  
  Just hear me when I'm asking, what movie do you like?
  Just hear me when I'm asking, what words do you like?
  And will you tell me, who is the one you'd like to see?
  I mean it couldn't be, a person who is acting just like me
  
  No, no, no future for me
  I won't, I won't, have hope that I can't see
  Not here, not here, there's no one ever near
  To be here at my lonely side
  
  I want, I want, I want to laugh with you
  I just want you, to notice what I do
  And this, and that, I slowly gave it up
  I'm seeing that my landscape is getting blurry
  
  Just hear me when I'm asking, what music do you like?
  Just hear me when I'm asking, what food do you like?
  And will you tell me, who is the person that you like?
  I mean it couldn't be, a persona like me." Just like that
  
  You'd always see me giving up in all my selfishness
  I'm hurt by all that I believed but nevertheless
  I'm seeing that I've grown and that I'm someone different now
  But wait... Please tell me that I'm not too late[/SPOILER]

  Yes, we're using the lyrics from the video there. If you want to sing that part at the end as well (when the subs disappear), feel free to do so. You don't have to if you don't want to though xD
  
  And okay :D I'll go ahead and put your name up.
  By the way, is there an icon you want me to use to put in the video or do you just want me to use your avatar?

  Oh it's not for me, I'm thinking of everyone else.(and you) How do you think 10+ people singing a song in a language they have little to no experience in will sound?
  
  
  Edit: Don't bother imagining it:

  I will admit that I was a little unsure about it, but I thought I'd give it a try anyway. The idea was inspired by another chorus that did something like that and it turned out okay, but I see what you mean.
  I'll use songs in English from now on.

  Yes, I do. No worries c: (I'll try my best anyway lol) I'll put your name on there.
  
  Do you have an icon thing that you want me to use?

  I would be sorta interested if the music was more "Big Mac" instead of "sushi".
  
  Whatever. Have fun, guys!
