Sorry for the double-post, but...
BUMP!! >3<;;;

Umm;;; Okay I'll play the viola~
I need the Sheet music though @-@

by @vALoN Mon Mar 21, 2011 9:19 pm

Uhhh.... When I said instrumentalists, I was kind of hoping you guys would be able to figure out your own parts... partly through improvisation... Confused

Would you like your viola part to be removed from the list?? Confused

I don't think you saw it, but I posted my picture and stuff

by @vALoN Mon Mar 21, 2011 10:27 pm

Yes, I saw.
I'm just waiting for a computer. @.@;;; (I'm sending the majority of these messages via my phone's browser, but even a smartphone doesn't have the full capabilities of a PC or laptop... Confused

)
I'll update later on tonight, where I'll have access to a computer. @.@;;; )

@XJ90 ~ OTL
I thought I was forgetting something... @.@;; (it was about 10pm when I was writing that post, and that's my bedtime. @.@;; )

@TemariChi ~ Ah, really??
Thanks again~!! ^v^

Also updated on some info:

-For those of you who want to re-record your submissions with the off-vocal as the guide, by all means, go for it~!
-I've updated the participants list (or at least, I'm in the process of doing it now)

by TemariChi Tue Mar 22, 2011 3:00 pm

"pray for japan" Japanese version:

Sorry for double posting, but have you ever heard the song "Dango Daikazoku"?

Well in that song, the lead instrument is a Glockenspiel. I can play the Glockenspiel also if you want ^^

by @vALoN Tue Mar 22, 2011 3:39 pm

OvO;;;
You can play the Glockenspiel?! REALLY?! (adds)
During my music production course last year, I learned that my favourite instrument was and is the Glockenspiel. ^^ (I think it's because it reminds me of music boxes, and they've been a favourite of mine since I was a little girl.)

Now, about the translations...

I don't think these are singable.. Confused

Are you a native Japanese speaker? (Because I can give you the rights to alter the lyrics however they would suit. (Even though I've seen that you already have for some parts.. ^v^;;; )

If not, we can always translate them literally and use in the PV. ^^;;

I'll update the first post with these lyrics once you've confirmed the above questions... ^v^;;;;

by @vALoN Tue Mar 22, 2011 5:23 pm

Sorry for the double-post, guys, but I just got some pretty awesome news~!!

~chainaroundmyneck and ~HieisQueen07 have started a group for artists supporting Japan on deviantART! (http://artistsuniteforjapan.deviantart.com/) And ~chainaroundmyneck has personally approached me about announcing this project to the dA community as well concerning the artistic aspect (as well as including more singers and the last mixer that we need) for this project~!

So if you guys start seeing some unfamiliar names on there, don't be surprised~ I'll be sure to add "dA" in brackets beside their names so that you guys can tell who's from where. ^v^;;;;

Thanks again, guys~ And let's make this project a success~~ ^v^

OH, I had a friend who is a native Japanese speaker help translate it for me~ He told be the more natural ways of speaking each line, so if a native Japanese speaker would hear it, it'd make more sense.

I could see if we can shorten them up a bit, I just need to be told which lines need to be shortened, otherwise I will need more time before I could re post them QAQ.....

Thank you~!

by @vALoN Wed Mar 23, 2011 12:44 am

I don't necessarily mean "shorten" it. Just change it so that it fits the rhythm of the song~
translating songs are a tough job. I understand if it can get a bit complicated. @.@;;;

LOL;;; No it's okay, I'll just try to play the melody by ear~

by @vALoN Wed Mar 23, 2011 8:23 am

If you want, I can write out sheet music for you, since I didn't mean play the melody by ear, either... @.@;;; (It'll be in pen on manuscript paper, since I don't have time to transfer every note onto a notation program.

I can write it on a notation program~ Plus, the viola has its own clef. Different from what piano and violin has, etc.

by @vALoN Wed Mar 23, 2011 12:51 pm

I took music composition classes and played three instruments in different keys and clefs. I'm fully aware of the different clef, so leave it to me ^v^~

by Guest Wed Mar 23, 2011 5:57 pm

i have a recorder :O
if that can do anything....
i also plan on joining :D
very nice song here!

by @vALoN Wed Mar 23, 2011 6:01 pm

Kyaaa~~ Sankyou~~~
And yes, recorders are AWESOME! (I would still be playing mine had my mom not thrown it out... TTvTT;;; (It was a used recorder that was given to us when I was in elementary school for my recorder classes at school, and my mom was worried about the bacteria. @.@;; ))

by Guest Wed Mar 23, 2011 6:02 pm

coolios. can i plays it?
i might has to find it first OAO...

by @vALoN Wed Mar 23, 2011 6:03 pm

OAO;;;;
If you can find it, then yesyesyes~~ >v<;;;

by TemariChi Wed Mar 23, 2011 7:50 pm

ooooo recorders OvO~ I have one too xD I could play that too~

All the instruments that I have (in my house that is) are:
Piano (though I don't know how to play it TT^TT)
Glockenspiel
Violin
Viola (It's Amichann's)
Recorder
Acoustic Guitar (I can't play it though ;A;)
Electric Guitar (It's broken ATM)

by @vALoN Wed Mar 23, 2011 7:54 pm

Please tell me which ones you are willing to perform this song. The other instruments are kind of useless information for this project if you aren't going to be playing them... ^^;;;

by shinouyuki Wed Mar 23, 2011 9:53 pm

o.o I don't know how this can help, but I can learn some chords and solo riffs for the ukulele if you think it'll be fine xD (it might sound weird though, dunno)

hmm and I was thinking if some instruments can't fit in with others, they could probably have their own solo time~ and maybe some people could talk while their solos play o:
