[MONTHLY THEME] May: Roots ~ Due May 31st! Empty [MONTHLY THEME] May: Roots ~ Due May 31st!

Post by Aerlith Thu May 01, 2014 8:17 am

May is when spring is really starting to show up~ And April showers bring May flowers. The theme for this month will be...

Roots!

Because May -> when flowers grow -> their roots go down -> ..... your own personal roots!

The idea behind this theme is to pick a song sung in your native language. The song does not have to be originally in your native language, just needs to be sung by you in that language (ex.translyrics from one language to another would be fine). The song does not have to be Vocaloid! Disney songs in your own language are a-okay! As are other genres! This would be an amazing opportunity to showcase all the different languages we speak and the cultures we are part of!

Thank you to KaRei for suggesting this theme! ^-^

Guidelines

  • Your entry must be done in the month of May to be accepted.
  • You must sing in your native or heritage language (ex. 2nd generation Korean speaker but lives in America -> can sing in Korean or English).
  • If you have another language in the song, it is fine, as long as at least 75% of the song is in your home language.
  • Your piece of work does not need to be vocaloid-related.
  • If you are covering a song, it should be at least 1:30 minutes long.
  • If you wish to write translyrics, please write translyrics for the whole song.
  • If you are doing art, please do at least half-body! A background is preferable, but if you can't do that, that is fine, too.
  • In one or two sentences, please explain how your entry fits the theme.


Not sure what to do?

  • How about cover a Vocaloid song that has translyrics to it? (ex. Spinning Song in Mandarin), some of the Filipino translyrics, French, Spanish, German, etc.? English?
  • Your OC dressed up! Either in the modern style or in traditional clothes from your nationality/country.
  • Write something related to the history of your country.


Please post your entries in this thread. Include the title of the piece that you have done. If you have a portfolio, you can upload it to your portfolio (ex. in Share Your Work) and then LINK to the post with the entry. However, entries will only be accepted if you post them to the thread. Please do not post a video on your portfolio and expect us to just know that it is your entry for the monthly theme. You must also make a post about it in this thread linking to your entry.

We hope you enjoy this monthly theme! If you would like more information on how the monthly themes work, you can go here. If you are not sure whether or not your entry will fit, feel free to ask! Smile

Also, the first badge for participating in three consecutive months has been awarded! They go to sonic-nancy-fan and Aerlith. ^-^ Raissu currently has two months, and everyone else who participated last month has one!

So....does this mean that any trans-lyricated song would count so long as you translate it to your native language? If so... I HAVE NO RULES TO FOLLOW.XD

Yes, any translyricated song would work if it has been translyric'ed to your own language! So if you translyric a song from Japanese to English, that would be fine. Or Korean into English, etc. Japanese into Chinese (if you are a Chinese speaker).

You would not have to sing it, as you would have written the lyrics into English yourself. <<b

As long as it's at least 1:30min, that is fine. >w< You don't need a full cover. If it's a little less than 1:30 and it's the longest you can find, that is fine, too.

What if you're a mix? lolololol (I'm half White/Filipino)
 
Also, does it depend on where you were raised or currently live? (totally wasn't raised in the Philippines and has little to no knowledge of it LOL)

Hey, as long as it's part of your heritage. XD Where you currently live or where you are raised, both is fine. If you're half, you can use English or Filipino. If you were Filipino but raised in America, you could still use Filipino and English. If you were white but raised in the Philippines, you could use Filipino and English again XD And if you are German but raised in say.. Russia, you could use both Russian and German.

Does that make sense or did it just go all convulted XD

Here is my entry: https://ytchorus.forumotion.com/t5551p30-joker-s-trans-lyrics#269725

How does this fit the theme? My native language is English...well...my native language is American.XD Not same thing as English~ Anyway, this fits the theme since I translated something into the language of my roots/native language.

SHAMELESS SINGING AND BAD PRONUNCIATION INCOMING.
Yep.
I tried.
it sounded better as an acapella.
too stronk for this song.

I made some translyrics with google translate and whallah, native language cover made.

EDIT: Ohright I forgot I need an explanation.

Okay.
I'm a Malaysian-Chinese, and my mother tongue is Mandarin. I was never taught to speak in my native dialects even though I'm a half-Fuzhou and half-Hakka so I was taught the main language of Chinese by my babysitter, because my mom was too busy teaching English for our family income. butactuallymymandarinsucks soIusedGoogletranslatealittle
