What's Your Story?

Eh...Guess it's my turn to tell my story!
(Though it's not really much... ^ __ ^ ;; )

How I found the fabulous YTChorus Forums...
Huuurrrm...Guess I found this place while was listening to NND choruses and was wondering if there were choruses made by YouTube members, so I went browsing and found the "Dear You" chorus. Heck yeah was it amazing~
It inspired me to going back to closet singing again, and I really wanted to be able to contribute to the amazing awesomeness that I had witnessed.

So, I've decided to join this marvelous forums, after stalking ya'll for about...A month beforehand! XD , and is now here typing this for you guys to read! I'm glad I joined here, 'cuz ever since I joined, I've been having a blast here, talking to friends, making new ones, and singing my fave-songs to my heart's content.
Yea, sure....Life gets in the way sometimes and something happens, I'm always able to find a way to come back online to do what I enjoy doing!

hmm -ish typing and thinking if i should post this...... ah whatever.. ill tell this story in third person ;D- so here's how the story goes. fuun was searching for awesome singing people and came across a youtube chorus video ;D . fuun thought the video was FISHIE POO PUDDING AWESOME so she subscribed to YTChorus' channel, but didn't know about their forum... until she got bored and looked through the channel and saw a link and POOF Σ（・□・；）FUUN'S DISCOVERY OF YTC FORUMS.... oki me ish done ♪(´ε｀ ) fuun's story ish not very interesting ehehe.. ( ´ ▽ ` )ﾉ

As a Gackt fan , I heard about the news of Gakupo that will be released a few months later. And that's how I googled up Vocaloid. But then, I wasn't interested in the other vocaloids so I waited till Gakupo came out. First song I heard was "Owata" and I loved it XD. But it wasn't until "Love is War" and "Magnet" that I became addicted to Vocaloid.

Then fast forward to 2010 and my friends and I decided to cover some vocaloid songs for our last semester project for high school band class. And that's how I started recording during Feb. with my crappy built in mic and absolutely no knowledge about recording or Audacity. My friends, however, wasn't as enthusiastic about singing as I am.

Afterwards, Moonlight Kurochi-misa added me and I checked out her forum. Then, I joined her 1925 chorus. Then, I found YTC's Akahitoha chorus and decided to join also.

Too bad that I am now in college...can't sing...here...it's like stone 360 degrees in my room...plus roommates. I'll just stalk some people. I wish I was younger...

Oooh badge...I want a badge...a sparkling badge....Can I have the male one instead? XDDDD *shot*

I've been using YT since I was in 3rd grade [to watch pokemon]

Mine isn't going to be as formal and cool as the rest are trying to be because I'm just going to end up ranting. But I will type a wall of text.

I think it was last year I really got into it. My Miku-crazed friend decided to send me Gazelle's "Melt" and said "HELENE THIS IS SOOOOO REAL FOR A VOICE SYN~" So I listened to it and discovered it was a real woman (from the video description. Do you notice how no one reads those? T________T) So I clicked around and discovered ryo/supercell's songs, then some Easypop, and the some doriko.

And then I landed on the Just Be Friends chorus. And I was blown to bits and pieces. I loved the way it was all fit together, and I was just so surprised at how they can put together a chorus and not make it sound like some not-warmed-up choir.

I clicked around and a YTC video was featured so I clicked it. I mean, i wasn't blown away or anything by it, but I just loved what it represented. Everyone seems to forget they're normal people too. YTC is here to remind us to sing just like them, as normal people. Obviously most of us don't have the cool equipment or voice (since a lot of fans aged 9-11...puberty?)

I'm not a fan of how YTC wants to compare to NND chorus' because the systems differ a lot (YTC---> audition, in?, sing lines. NND---> everyone sings their own, mixer mashes it together)

But I just thought it'd be fun to jump in on the fun. I just love seeing the outcomes, even if they're are more planned than the crazy NND choruses (Rolling Girl chorus haha).

Aha, get ready for a very /uninteresting/ story.

I met a boy after the end of 8th grade during one of my tennis lessons who couldn't speak English very well and helped translate for him. He taught me some of his tennis knowledge and I found out that him and his friends had a band together called "シルバー月" or "Silver Moon". I heard them perform around the area a few times, and eventually started singing with the boy as lead vocals, who ended up being my 4th boyfriend lol~

They returned to Japan a few years later, and I naturally stayed in the US. But during a time they were playing around Tokyo, a man came up and asked them if they had any official recordings. As normal answers go, my bf said no. The man asked that they record under him if they'd like to. He happened to be from Johnny and Associates (unless anyone doesn't know them, bands like KAT-TUN, NEWS and Arashi record under them) so my bf thinks about refusing, because it's an all boy's association, and he wanted to take me with them. Then there's this whole little problem with the fact that I want them to get better and get the greatness they deserve, and go to Johnny's. But we find out that Sony offers us the same contract, but together as one band. (Problem being that Sony's kinda more in the background, anime ed and op stuff) So in the end, I send Silver Moon to Johnny's (they're Johnny's Jr.'s now in training). But my bf messages me telling me that Sony will offer me the same contract even though I'm by myself. So I'm really trying to work hard towards that. ^^; I'm great on stage and in front of people (errr at least I can make it to the end of the song without much failure in between T_T), but when I record by myself, I just don't feel the same...That's my weak point. OTL

Around sophomore year though, I was introduced to Vocaloids by a friend of mine obsessed with Miku (also did a cosplay as her) and she pretty much opened my eyes. At first I was thinking "dude, they're MACHINES get over it. they're voices are boring to listen to." but after I saw the different 歌ってみた's and covers everyone did, I was amazed and actually started caring more about not just the lyrics, but the Vocaloids themselves.

But around the end of my Junior year, I was told I couldn't sing anymore. Errr, the rest is kinda personal ^^; I shouldn't have written it here in the first place, that was my bad~ yeaaah, so just ignore this part ><

I guess all this just motivates me even more though, it was my dream really to sing with the other Nico Nico Douga singers or even the awesome singers on Youtube. When I saw the Youtube Chorus, I was so amazed and touched by the whole idea behind it. Most of all, I really want to get better at recording my voice (I'm horrible at mixing though, that's my only problem right now OTL) and sing in one of the choruses or duets together with all of you. >w<

what exactly should i add? or where should i start who is just 8months with YTC?

ermm...

Spoiler:

so that's all i know for now.
and i know i improved rapidly. =w=
thank you for your encouragements.


for you!

It’s quite interesting how I arrived at this station if one sees the long journey. The starting point was…just a starting point. I never knew that one day I would end up here. At that time, I was just a Kingdom Hearts-obsessed nerd who loved Japanese manga, anime and music. I am still, to the bottom of my heart, a Kingdom Hearts-obsessed nerd who LOVES Japanese manga, anime, and music. But now my world includes Vocaloid and YTC, which has ignited such a transformation in me. Come along as the whole story unwinds…and see how this plain old journey influenced my current lifestyle. Onwards!

Around the end of 2009, I was born. Just a small 8 lbs. infant who was really cute and cuddly.
Just kidding. Here’s where the whole thing starts.

Starting Point #1: Singing
My whole life has been involved with music. In elementary school until now, I was in an orchestra and a band, playing the violin and flute. But the major activity I took was chorus, which was most of my ‘professional’ background. I was scared in elementary school of joining it because no one, even my parents, really cared about it. I also didn’t have any confidence in my ability, but I finally realized my capability when I was given a solo at the final concert. That moment was one of my most treasured moments in my life because finally someone acknowledged me for my talent, not for any academic skill as I was used to. I was very proud after the concert because so many classmates ran up to me saying ‘Wow!’ or ‘I never knew you could sing!’. Music made me feel whole. I sang for only a year, but that year opened my world to chorus music.
Unfortunately, after that year, it was off to middle school. Somehow, chorus floated away from my mind after I began concentrating on school more. It would be a few more years before I would join chorus again.

Starting Point #2: Kingdom Hearts, Manga, etc.
It was in middle school where everything changed. One day a classmate introduced me to manga. Ever since that fateful day, I became a fan of manga and was very interested in Japanese culture (that first manga was Pita-Ten, if anyone was wondering). Manga, and soon anime, gave me the inspiration to continue drawing and painting, motivating me to do more in the artistic side.
What also sparked my inspiration was Kingdom Hearts. I <3 this game. Besides the awesome story, characters, and everything, the music impacted me the most. Playing that game pushed me to concentrate more on music. Its soundtrack, especially the title song Simple and Clean, finally opened my world to Japanese music. I was mesmerized by the unique background music and deep, meaningful lyrics. Soon, both manga and KH made me interested in graphic design, animation, and voice acting.

Without both of these elements, I would have never encountered YTC at all.

Starting Point #3: Back to Singing
Finally, high school arrived and I was finally allowed to join chorus once again. Previously, the only ‘practice’ was listlessly singing around the house. Chorus, once again, trained my voice and revitalized my singing talent. But I had another, though minor, interest: voice acting. I wasn’t too experienced in recording before YTC, did not record much, but I still have the same faithful microphone. I loved singing the opening and ending themes of anime. Whenever I had time and privacy, I would loudly sing and record a random song. Simple and Clean, Loop, True Light etc. It was random yet satisfying.

Being an obsessed Kingdom Hearts fan, I had an account on a KH forum. One day, I was exploring other sections of the forum and found out that a member was organizing a fandub of a song I knew. At the end, I did not record myself because of time constraints. But I listened to the final versions and decided that I would try for the next one.
This is when everything happened.
The next song that was to be done was:
World is Mine. By Miku Hatsune.
Unfortunately, that was to become a red herring. When I listened to the song, I was scared to sing it. At that point in time, I was not great at singing in Japanese, and pitifully could not get past the first verse >_<. Also, I was not too fond of auto-tuning and programs singing, so I did not record. The end.

Well, maybe not.

Starting Point #4: Vocaloid
I’ve been a follower of an Anime blog in which a writer organized a fandub of a song. I saw the singers and clicked on one of the YouTube links, which of course led me to a channel. That channel was full of awesome fandubs, some of which were
Vocaloid.
Looking around, I saw that the singer was also part of
YTC, a group of singers.
I was awestruck by the idea of a group of singers on YouTube and enjoyed the dubs by YTC, especially Spica, which I listened to constantly. I still consider Spica to be my first true Vocaloid song. At that time, I was interested in recording myself and the new info did interest me, but I kept all of it in the back of my mind. In truth, I was still wary about Vocaloid and wanted to dub Anime songs. But I would search Vocaloid in YouTube and listen to each song, slowly becoming a Vocaloid fan. Listening to both Vocaloid and people’s versions of them finally gave me the courage to try. What also pushed me was the fact that I would not be taking chorus the following year. Not wanting to forget singing, I looked for other opportunities to continue. I kept YTC’s channel as a bookmark and, after a few months of listening, I decided to create an account.

On May 25, 2010, I finally became a member.

Looking Back:
As each part occurred, I never knew that I would end up at YTC. I feel as if I've gone in circles! Thanks to this thread, I was able to piece together the whole journey and smile at every oblivious moment. Though I do not have a big family at YTC yet, I do feel the whole togetherness feeling all around. I’m happy that everyone here has the same interest and wants to improve their voices. I hope that someday I will develop my voice, get into a chorus ^_^ and make many more cherished memories in YTC. Without it, my life would not have changed so much. Without it, I would not be so interested in improving myself in singing. Without it, I would not have encountered such a large community going towards a common goal. Without it, I could have lost music in my life.

Thank you for being here YTC.

(O_O I wrote alot...thank you to anyone who reads this ^_^'')

My YTC story isn't really that interesting and rather short... xD

It all started with the Nico chorusses. They were so amazing and I wanted to a part of a chorus one day, so I hoped there would be a YouTube chorus but never actually searched.
Then one day I saw a related video and it was the Akahitoha Chorus. I checked the channel and saw they were holding auditions for my two favourite songs at that time: bpm and Romeo and Cinderella.
I had always been too scared to actually record something, but I really wanted to join those chorusses so I went to my brother who knows stuff about recording and asked him if he could help me. Fortunately he said yes and I got to record my auditions
And that's all there really is to my story

/start hideous wall of text
Heya people owo// I'm like non-existant here, seeing as I haven't even auditioned for a chorus yet orz Even though I've been stalking YTChorus since forever ago and thinking 'I SHOULD DO IT' every time and never... trying... :D.... ANYWAY UHM. STORY TIME...... woo.

Step One:
My friend shows me a video of Rin and Len on Vocaloid.

Step Two:
I am bored one day, remember the video, and search up 'blonde anime singing robot people twins' on youtube.
THUS. I AM INTRODUCED TO THE EXISTENCE OF VOCALOID... after like five hours of searching for that darn Gekokujou vid... :D
And, so, I stalk Vocaloid videos for about five hours a day for two months afterward. I'm cool.

Step Three:
I find Usachii's dub of BPM (or some song of that sort...), get addicted to it, and search it up on youtube everyday. And then I see her SPiCa dub and go 'IDK THIS SONG, COOL' and then I see that there are auditions for some SPiCa chorus. Cool, okay. I ignore it until the chorus comes up, listen to it, spazz for about 291830921 hours about how awesome it was, and then mysteriously stalk YTChorus for a very, very long time.

Yup. And I still haven't really done much.
Someday.
Someday I will overcome my intense urge to be lazy and do something.
I will. Oh yes. >D
Someday.

The end. /clapclapclap.

Wow my story sucked. WOOT WOOT.
/shot

But yeah! YTChorus has definitely inspired me (and definitely like a bajillion other people) to sing for Vocaloid even though I seriously have no clue how to sing or mix and whatever else is involved properly at all >w<// I was like 'YOUTUBE... CAN SING?!?!' when I heard you guys. I was in serious shock. Because I thought only Nico peeps could pull it off. BUT I WAS SO VERY WROONNGG.

You guys are awesome. Keep it up ;3
/end hideous wall of text

Okay Okay, since everyone is telling their wonderful stories, I might as well tell my own *sits in a chair, wiggles her bunny tail in doing so, clears her throat, puts on her cute bunny reading glasses and opens a book titles "TBOE'S INSANITY STORY"*

There once was a girl named the bunny of evil. She loved to perform, write, draw, act, sing, and dance her bunny tail away. All day and all night, that was all she did, entertaining her family and her friends-- well, the small of amount of friends she had. Anyways, one day, another bunny named John hopped her way and gave her a little computer screen with a song playing on it and headphones to put in her cute bunny ears. She put them in and was sucked into the song: "The Disappearance Of Miku Hatsune" From forth her pink diamond bow sprouted a black and red silk bow at the song that she looked to the screen and played it over and over, her performer fur turning into vocaloid fur. Soon, she was addicted and found out everything about vocaloid,

But it wasn't enough.

She then tried singing the songs and slowly learned to perfect her dubs and even made original parodies and reprises of the vocaloid songs she came to love. Then, she saw, the amazing Youtube Chorus. She stared for a long while before signing up and now becoming a part of the community (at least, she hopes she is)

All right! Now that I've got time to sit down, I shall now start my YTC story. It's not really the best story in the world but I shall try and tell it clearly...

Coda's YTC Story


How did I get into singing?

I've always loved to sing! I've sang ever since I was a kid ^_^ :D!. I always loved music. I've always loved anime OST's. At the time, I didn't have any confidence in posting any videos in my channel because I was afraid I might get negative reviews. Another reason is that I didn't have a good mic and I didn't know anything about mixing and programs like Audacity.

How did I find out about vocaloids?

One day, I was browsing through YouTube like usual. Then, out of interest, I clicked one of the related videos, which was Hatsune Miku's 'World is Mine'. I thought, "Wow! For a computerized voice, it's really good!" From that point on, I started clicking the related videos and loved them as I watched more. By the end of the day, I was like, "*A* I gotta find me some more..."

How did I get in to YTC?

Following my addiction to Vocaloids, it all started when I saw a Vocaloid song dubbed by a Nico singer. The song, from what I remember, was called "Melt" sang by U. Sakura. I utterly fell in love with her voice. After that, I started looking for Vocaloid songs sang by Nico singers. By that time, I was already thinking of doing a Vocaloid cover. However, I was still not confident about posting my work online. This has changed when I found a Nico Nico Chorus on YouTube. Like the individual singers, I fell in love with all of their voices combined. It was then that I decided to find Vocaloid dub groups on YouTube. The first ever group that I had auditioned for was called Fanloids. When I had tried and auditioned for Akita Neru's part, I actually got in! I was surprised and happy at the same time (I also had a crappy mic back then too!).

When I finished watching the results of the auditions, this is when I saw YTChorus' video calling for an audition for Dear You. I did an audition and submitted it to the forum. Back then, I knew of the existence of YTC since they made the forums. I never actually got involved because I thought, like other groups, it would die down and people would lose interest. When I got into the Dear You Chorus, I was really happy. This was the time when I got into exploring the forum. The people seemed really friendly and they didn't seem to bite. As a a result, I stayed with YouTube Chorus for good. Since joining YTC, it made me build some confidence when it comes to putting covers online. Also, I got to meet a whole bunch of wonderful people, got some advice on mixing and the rest is history..


The End~

*cough*
Soooo, I'll just start my story when I discovered YTC . ehehe.

It was on November 2009, when I became an active fandubber on YT. ^^ There was a user: bloodxclassique who covered the song "Last Night Good Night" by Miku xD I was really curious on "who' Miku was, until I found out that she was a 'vocaloid'. While searching for some vocaloid songs, I stumbled on tangerinelolliop's channel, and listened to some 'choruses' (i dun have an idea on how choruses actually work at that time) hoho~

While listening to some choruses, I've notice a user 'anicrofan' (franky) hehe ) he really does sound good on that chorus (forgot the title OTL) and then I've search for his channel, : typing 'anicrofan' on YT search bar, I stumbled on 'kran117's channel, where "Celluloid YTChorus" is on her featured video. I added her as a friend. hihi since I've noticed that she was a Filipina too. :'>

I remembered that Kran posted some bulletin stuff where she was announcing a YTC forum, with a link.. I've tried registering, hoho I guess im the 23rd member of this forum :p ...

JBF was the current audition at that time. I tried joining with my crappy mic and fail mixing =w=b . Suprisingly, I won. Ohoho. *cough*

I've decided to buy a new mic and continue singing. Thanks a lot YTC peepz. ^_^

END.

Why didn't I see this sooner? D8 ( I'd totally want a male badge AHEMHEM. / shot )
OHOH I know how to make this fun 8D.

One upon a time, there was a young artist named Kyo. Kyo, was a very odd girl, posting videos of her drawing, despite how much fail it was. One day, Kyo followed a wonderful artist, but fell in a hole, called music. She soon was in a world called Nicoland. Nicoland was a wonderful place, filled with wonderful singers like Kettaro, Nayuta, Clear, and many more. She, however, was naive, and didn't know who they were. She then discovered the true mad-singer, Hatsune Miku. Kyo, interested, was totally into it, had a cup of notes with Hatsune Miku, learning songs with Len and Rin, and laughing with Kaito and Meiko. Soon after, Kyo discovered choruses from the Queens of Producers. She loved them all, singing along, learning songs.
While on her wonderous journey through 'Nicoland', she accidentally tripped on a video that wasn't Nico. Next thing she knew, Kyo was back in the real word, called Youtube. But, after her adventure, Kyo realized that it was Youtube Chorus was what she found. She loved it, and quickly joined.

In the end, Kyo met new people and friends, tries to improve her singing, and along the way, learn from others.

THE END.

It's not really that deep but everyone was giving a deep story, so i decided to make mine playful.
Excuse any spelling errors or grammah errors AHEHEH. Now who wants to join Kyo and her adventures in Nicoland?

About four years ago I saw some fanart of Hatsune Miku, and I really liked her design. Then one day I stumbled over a clip on youtube and recoginsed her. I searched information about her, and I tried to listen to some songs. But I didn't really like them very much.
BUT! I thought it was a very cool idea and so I tried fo bring myself to like her. But it didn't work.
BUT I STILL TRIED!
And then... I found Ryo's World is Mine... I think you can guess what happend...
Some time later I found the YTC audition for BPM. So I bought a mic and downloaded audacity.
My first audition was for Kakome Kakome, and right now I'm working on a audition for Yowamushi Mont Blanc. And there's a CRAZY difference. After spending time here on YTC I've become much better singer and mixer. I haven't passed an YTC audition yet (well I got a little part on Kakome Kakome ehehe~), but if I continue like this, then I believe I can do so oneday (mabye sometime soon?? 8D) I'm gonna continue doing my best here, because I really, really love to sing! And even if I'm not super active like some others on the forum I kinda love you all, remember that!!

Last year was HORRIBLE for me. And YTChorus was my only happiness (that sounds so cheezy). I hated everything else. So thank you for everything.
これからもよろしくお願いします

WARNING TEXT WALL

I'm totally going to have this wind up longer than I meant it to be....

I was born in a litt- oh wait wrong story. RIGHT! Well around sixth grade I got my first iPod, believe me it sucked...I knew nothing about music other than the few songs I heard from the radio between the thousands of commercials...radio sucks...So I had to start using iTunes to find good music, and spend a few hours a day searching artists and trying to find hidden songs that were amazing but hadn't come to the fame of others. I continued on like this until eighth grade when I found a song called Trick and Treat. Japanese wasn't strange to me because I had gotten used to listening to anime openings and falling in love with them but never delving deeper than the anime it was from and the name of the song, sometimes venturing to a friend to acquire a download of the opening. Trick and Treat interested me, the halloween fell and the interesting voices drew me into reading deeper into the comments then just the first page I always read. I got further into the comments and learned the singers were Rin and Len, a pair of synthesizers. For a while I listening to only Rin and Len songs, in complete ignorance of Miku, Kaito, Meiko, Gumi and the rest of them. Sometime around the end of eighth grade I stumbled upon a wikia on vocaloids. It completely dumbfounded me that there was a whole group of the synthesizers and they were actually a retail item and not just a professional program that was designed for a team of developers. As I got deeper and deeper into my love of vocaloid, my friend introduced Nico Nico Choruses to me. It astounded me such beautiful voices could be found over the internet with only a voice and a screen name to go off of as figuring out the singer. Eventually I gave up on figuring out the nico singers, and decided just to enjoy the music. After a few months I zeroed in on Usa, Chochou, and a few others. After I listened to their songs repeatedly until I needed something new so bad I was willing to listen to anything. I stumbled upon Akahitoha and found the youtube chorus. I was astounded it was as good as it was, considering the dubs I'd heard on youtube before. I decided to leave it alone because I couldn't really find anything other than it at the time. And then, a few months ago, I decided to research it while I was bored. I found out that even more chorus' and even better ones were put out by YTC's very own channel and listened to them all several times over. I noticed a link to the forums and took a few days to debate if I should join. I had just left a forum that I'd been with for two years, three if you count the down time. It was a rather odd relationship with the forum...a lot of drama, things I wont bore you with. So over the few days I decided that even if I don't join the chorus', it's still fun to be part of a community. And I joined, I never even considered I was a good singer, and I still don't, but I liked the forums here. I was eventually lured into skype by Summer, and I've stuck there. I've made many new friends that are part of YTC and some more through skype, and it's all thanks to YTC. I love it here and don't intend of leaving anytime soon!

Hm...shorter than I thought it would be ^^

https://sd-1.archive-host.com/membres/up/1649321176230365/YTCstory_40.html

Boring useless story by a stupid useless person that doesn't know if that thing is readable \O/

UUhh.. etto

Well I've always loved singing since I was a little kid. I always sung along with my favorite music and bands at that time.

So when I was around.. 10/11 I got into anime and manga and started searching songs like mostly anime OP's en ED's.

Singing basically helps me through anything. When I feel sad I sing sad songs, when I feel happy, I sing happy songs etc etc.
So after a while I got familiar with vocaloid and thought it was something really cool idk, but I got addicted to it XD

So I started practising on my Japanese skillz ( which are still at 0% ) < well that was a lie but you get the point.
So I finally got the guts to upload stuff when I was... 13? I don't even remember, all I know is that it SUCKED.

So after that I found out about some choruses and I tried to audition for them > auditions back then sucked cause I didn't spend much time on it<

Aaand after a while I found out about YTC 8D. *yay*
So now I am here.. Posting this random story about myself of how I got here =w=)v

my story starts of with something totally unrelated to vocaloid XD

KAY SO, THERE WAS ONCE A LITTLE GIRL NAMED CLAIRE.

She was 10 years old and obsessed with the game Animal Crossing. (... i still love that game OTL) She was so obsessed that she decided to join an Animal Crossing forum in hopes of... well... nothing, because she was a noob. ;D So she posted around as she pleased, saying anything that was on her mind. After about a year, she came across a thread about anime, and was curious so looked up some and started watching anime and stuff like that.

THAT WAS THE DAY I STOPPED BEING A NOOB. 8DDD

So then came a thread about VOCALOID. DUN DUN DUNNNNNNNN so then I was liek "lolwtf is vocaloid" but then I looked up vocaloid on wikipedia and youtube and was liek "ohhh. that's kinda epic." so then I started lurking around A WHOLE LOT MORE, and learned a lot about vocaloid and stuff

AND NOW WE SKIP ABOUT ONE YEAR 8D

I can read hiragana and katakana now, and have learned lots of dances to mainly vocaloid songs. I liked singing and dancing before but vocaloid and jpop has really gotten me much more into it and stuff. Somewhere along the line, I came across YTchorus. (i have no idea how OTL) I thought it was absolutely amazing, but I didn't have a good mic and I had no videos up so I was embarrassed to join or audition or do anything. BUT, a couple of weeks ago i finally got the courage to upload a video of myself dancing, but uploading that one video really got me into uploading and making videos in general. Eventually, I auditioned for Yowamushi Montblanc, but when listening to it a couple times I was very unhappy with the quality. SO I got my mom to buy me a new mic and I've been testing it out a bit and it's absolutely AMAZING so I did a redo and I've recorded a couple of other songs but haven't put them up anywhere yet really. BUT. now I found I love singing as much as I love dancing, so my goal is to be the best young vocaloid/jpop dancer/singer EVAR

and that all happened over the course of two years. ... i have too much free time OTL

ANYWAY, THE END. 8D

....... do i get the pretty sparkly badge thing now? >8D

aaah~ *w*
hmmmm~
i already forgot. OTL ||
i remember how i got into fandubbing, and into vocaloids, but not yt. OTL ||
ill type it out anyway, even tho no one would really read it D; =w= b

okay, once upon a time, there was a girl named mikami who ate a lot of jello and was hit by an eggplan-- WHAAAT THE HECK AM I SAYING? *hitsmyselfwithaneggplant* ~

okay. ill try again =w= b
uhh. 8D it all started out wiff meh being obsessed with anime~
well, it just started when i was like 11... or 12...... O-OOR 13!!... who knows.
id just watch my anime the whole day, and yeahh.
(i wasnt really into jap, or singing before being obsessed with anime, i mean yeah, i like a couple songs, this, this, and that, but like, i never thought id start singing and enjoy it this much ~... 8D )

i was watching shugo chara, well, i wasnt REALLY into it :/
but i still watched it~
and i really loved sakurai yua and her song ~
Secret Princess or something ^^;
i searched it up on yt ~ yeah, yeah.
and found an off vocal of the song, well, edited-Audacity-off-vocal-kinda thing.
it was Viyemelle's video ^w^
(i still remember, cuz she's my friend nao~ <3)
so anyways, i saw people asking for permission to use it for fandubs and stuff, so i was like o3o~ whats a fandub ... ?
back then, i was so dumb 8D ... i still am though. -shot-

and then somehow, i ended up in tsuki87's page, watching her eternal snow cover.
i fell in LOVE with it. shes amazingg. <333
i didnt have enough confidence back then, :S but tsuki87 encouraged me to try it out ^^~ and i used Viyemelle's Secret Princess instrumental thing as a first cover 8'D (which is nao deleted, cuz i SUCKED back then-- and i still suck, but.. improved suck -shot-.) i dont think you got that =__=;

so how i got into vocaloids, mmm~
michigopyon's kokoro coverr~! <333
i started crying
and id listen to it over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and ov---okay, you get the point.
but yeah ; like months after that, i started finding out about vocaloid and nao im addicted to them, <333 (yesh, MONTHS, cuz i was too lazy to actually search it up until i came upon a a random vocaloid thingg~).


how i found yt... i was just browsing through random vocaloid viids a couple of months ago. -shot- 8D
