Why did you pick this song?: We picked the songs above because they fit the idea of the story we had in mind. The chord progression also had to be considered as it changed from one song to the next, so we tried to find a few that would fit well together. We also knew the struggles of trying to change oneself to fit the preferences of the person they like, and hoped that people out there would realise that they don't have to be uber cute or a sparkling diva to win the heart of that special someone. Who knows ? Senpai might like the real you a lot more ! :>
Story behind the relationship the two characters in the song have:
This story shows a kouhai's efforts in trying to get her senpai to notice her. She tries to be the typical himedere that other senpais seem to go after, thinking that senpai would be impressed, only to find out that senpai only wants to be friends. Kouhai doesn't give up, and tries a different approach ! She puts on a cute, cheerful facade and tells senpai her honest feelings in a fluffy song, to appear more endearing to senpai.
Secretly, senpai already knows what kouhai is really like. She has already fallen for kouhai, and is finding it harder and harder to deny her true feelings. She tries to remember her feelings when she first rejected kouhai, hoping to erase what she really felt. (Hence the same pv, with the addition of a strong rap, as if she's convincing herself !) Even so, she starts to realise that she had already fallen for kouhai back then. In the end, senpai admits her love for kouhai with a loud, echoing confession ! <3

How is this song related to your theme? We interpreted the meaning behind the lyrics to be a song about two sisters that have been separated and wish to meet and be together again someday.
Story behind the relationship the two characters in the song have: 2 sisters that haven't seen each other in years. One (the little sister: anna) has moved to the city to pursue her dreams while the older sister (Alyss) has stayed behind to do work in the countryside where they once lived together. Though their paths have been separated, they keep in contact via letters etc. Fortunately, in a place bordering the city and the countryside, their paths meet once again.

Why did you pick this song?: This song is related to the theme because this is about Tanabata. Tanabata is a story about two lovers who were separated and once a year, they are able to be reunited.
Story behind the relationship the two characters in the song have: For this particular song, how we interoperated it was that there were these two girls who fell in love during the summer festivals (this is also during the time of Tanabata). At times, they feel that they are restless without being with each other and it is rather heart breaking to be apart from who they love. However, as they look up at the stars in the sky and know that the one they love is not so far away.

Why did you pick this song?: From the moment that the two of us met we hit it off quite well, but we found that the we're completely different 'character types.' (Pretty sure we fought over senpai status at one point) Both being power vocalists with a love for belting, we wanted something loud and upbeat, but also something with a crazy flair to it. We both named this song as a choice, and decided we would do everything in our power to make it work.

Like trying to out-power each other.

Story behind the relationship the two characters in the song have: In our story, the two characters are childhood friends who once embraced their different personalities, but found that, as they got older, those same differences were putting a wedge in between them. They began to develop disdain for one another. Eventually it led to a huge academic and social rivalry in their high school years that's left both of them with horrible vanity and far-too-large egos.

Things start to get ugly when the narcissism turns into illusory superiority--err, elitism--especially, since there isn't room enough for two kings in this castle.
Oh no!

It's a battle of "calm and collected" vs "brash and headstrong," and just when it reaches the exhilarating climax...

...they both wake to the sound of alarms and mother's screaming, only to realize their battle was nothing but an unbelievably disappointing wet dream.

Yikes!

Why did you pick this song?: Ah well you see, we both like pocky. That's about it, haha. We thought it was a cute song, so we went along with it! As for how it fits... Well, you know, the Pocky Game is where two people eat opposite ends of the same pocky stick... And it ends in a kiss ;ooo It's basically Lady and the Tramp with pocky

Story behind the relationship the two characters in the song have: The story is about two girls, who are close friends, and actually like each other~ They're so nervous to meet up one day, but they meet up anyways! They decide to play the pocky game... But they're so nervous and scared, it doesn't get anywhere! The two girls won't meet at the middle, both of them backing out (and "losing").

Then a few days later at school, the two girls confess their love. It's like a huge weight is lifted off of them, they can both finally smile in each others' company without fear of being rejected. They play the pocky game again and... チュー～！（*´▽｀*）

Why did you pick this song?: Well, we're 2 guys so the first theme that came to our minds is forbidden love. For forbidden love, we first thought of magnet but it is too mainstream and almost everyone has made a duet of it already, so we picked something popular but not yet used as a duet much. So we picked Sarishinohara and to have a little uniqueness, we picked the acoustic version by Nohi. Same as our story that focuses on forbidden love, Sarishinohara has that "forbidden love" topic too. It is on a different situation but it also shows the forbidden love we want to portray.

Story behind the relationship the two characters in the song have:
Our story is about how Blue, an unfortunate orphan barely managing to scrape by, and Arvy, the sickly, overly-protected son of wealthy parents, came to fall in love. Some men that seemed to owe some debt to his parents cornered Arvy in the park one day as he was passing by and intended to mug him. Blue, who had noticed Arvy early and had been glancing back at him since then, mesmerized, noticed Arvy's predicament and stepped in to help. He was badly hurt in the process, but managed to save Arvy. Arvy approached Blue, asking if he was alright, and was only met with an "I'm glad you're okay." He was taken aback by Blue's charming smile, despite his dirty clothes and hair and new wounds. After this incident, the two became friends and grew closer over time. Arvy struggled greatly with their relationship, knowing that Blue was working hard to put himself through school and that Arvy had plenty of money to help him out, but could not. However, Blue refused to ask anything financial of him, insisting that all he needed to get along in life was Arvy's companionship. Several months later, Blue finally confessed the love he'd harbored for Arvy for so long, and Arvy accepted him gladly. However, it didn't take long for Arvy's very overprotective parents to find out about the new couple. They began to do all they could to keep Arvy cooped up inside and away from Blue, but the two managed to be able to meet in secret occasionally.

Why did you pick this song?: It was one of several songs that I suggested, but part of the reason we ended up picking this one was because some other songs were either too high or low or for one of us (such as Nakimushi Kareshi ;w; ). It's a very sweet and calming song. It's also nice how the lyrics are somewhat open to interpretation - it could be considered to be a story of friends, or family, or lovers, and it can also be viewed as either happy or sad, depending on whether you think the characters are still able to spend time together or if they're parting ways for good.
Story behind the relationship the two characters in the song have: The boy and girl (doesn't have to be their genders, but basing it off the voices of the original singers) were childhood friends who were very close. They always spent a lot of time together and understood each other so well it was like they could read each other's thoughts. As they grew older, they fell in love. However, the girl became very ill. The boy often came to visit in her in the hospital and the two of them were determined that the girl would recover, but eventually she became weaker and weaker until she passed away. The boy had a really hard time coming to terms with it, so he clings to his memories of her and tries to convince himself that she is still by his side. But he is finally starting to let go and say goodbye to her.

Then she meets the guy who completely changes her life and they both become a happier person because of each other. They are realistic but not pessimistic. True love binds them together and they stay with each other until the very end. Even after the guy, who is already in his 80s probably, dies, the girl who is now also a granny, smiles along and knows that she's led a happy life because of him. She won't ever forget him and will always love him and so will he.

Yuudachi no Ribbon 夕立のリボ　(The Evening Shower’s Ribbon)
This is the story of two childhood friends with very different personalities, A-chan and Rai-chan. A-chan is a quiet kuudere while Rai-chan is an energetic and carefree girl. On a rainy day after school, Rai-chan, who hadn’t brought an umbrella with her that day, is greeted by A-chan who offers her an umbrella. It seems Rai-chan and A-chan have liked each other since some time ago, but were afraid of judgement from the people around them. As the two walk together in the rain, what kind of long-hidden feelings emerge..? Will their platonic relationship be broken, or will this secret wish be washed away with the rain and hidden within their hearts?

According to the lyrics, most of the lines are like "I want to be by your side" and "forever--" like - I love you so much please don't leave me stay with me forever - So the main highlight about our story is how much we love each other. WE LOVE EACH OTHER SO MUCH MUAHMUAH

Why did we pick this song?:
We originally chose another song, however we talked about it and finally went with this as the duet song. When we first heard “heartless”, we immediately fell in love with the melody. The lyrics is really touching; as it talks about a male robot who wants to love a girl but he doesn’t have a physical heart to do so. This is why we want to convey to everyone the message of loving and cherishing those around you before you regret it.

Story behind the relationship the two characters in the song have:
The story is based on a boy who was ill and didn’t have much time left to live. He wanted to confess to the girl he loves before it’s too late.

The boy didn’t know how to confess in words, therefore he wanted to do something for her. He would go pick out the girl’s favourite carnations from his garden to give to her. And the girl had always wondered why there was her favourite flower on her desk every morning. Little does she know it was from the boy.

One day the girl came to class early to see who this mystery person was, but no one came. School ended that day, the girl went home and wondered confusedly. The next morning she went to class early again, and the several mornings after as well. However there were no more flowers on her desk.

After a week has passed, the boy’s best friend went to find the girl in the classroom and handed her a note.

“By the time you read this, I have already gone somewhere far from this world. I have always loved you but I was really ill and didn’t have the courage to confess to you. I planted your favourite carnations in my garden and had put one on your desk each morning. But recently I wasn’t able to come to class and put them on your desk. My illness had become more serious and I was rushed to the hospital. I’m sorry I won’t able to give you flowers anymore. I hope you’ll find someone who loves and cherishes you as much as I do. Although I have a weak heart, I’ll always love you. Good bye.”

The girl burst into tears and held the note close to her heart.

Why did you pick this song?: These two songs combined represent the different emotions between two people and the struggles of maintaining a relationship where one person wavers.

Story behind the relationship the two characters in the song have: Have you ever loved somebody so much that you would continuously chase after them, even if it may seem hopeless? This story revolves around two girls, one a dedicated lover and the other hiding her hurt behind lies and pretty words. The dedicated lover keeps trying to save her important person from the pain and fear underneath the cold exterior, but is slowly losing hope as each day passes, resorting to writing her letters alone and crying each night.

The cold hearted girl looks on, shying away and continuing to judge humanity and other people, scared of facing her emotions and admitting how she really feels. But eventually, when the dedicated lover is on the verge of giving up and realizing that she won't be able to pursue this relationship any further, the cold hearted girl finally cracks and desperately tries to reach out to that helping hand that's already been retracted.

But it might be too late.

"I love you, but I'm a liar."

Theme for Blind Duet: Our relationship

We have both decided that this song was closest to our relationship- strangers, who were once distant from the community, that decide to once again re-join society. Like the song reflects staying still while everyone continues on, and finally getting back into action, we follow the same procedure. Before being part of the blind duet, we were “strangers”, but now we have taken part in a community project : )

Why did you pick this song? (How is this song related to your theme?):
Considering we are from neighbour countries (Finland & Sweden) we decided to use rivalry/enemies as our theme! In Karakuri卍Burst, Rin & Len are enemies, which is why the song matches the theme we wanted to go for. But they're not just enemies, in the PV for the original video (with art by Suzu no Suke / 鈴ノ助 ( http://www.nicovideo.jp/mylist/14615344 )) it's hinted that Rin & Len share a deeper connection, possibly being siblings but only recoqnizing the other at the end of the video.

Story behind the relationship the two characters in the song have:
Following Karakuri卍Burst's PV and lyrics we wanted to do something similiar and went for a "close friends even though different speices, separated, ending up on different sides off a battle and so becoming enemies" approach. Considering Warsfeil usually is portrayed as a sheep, and Spoon a wolf/dog, this idea came pretty easily. After all these two speices aren't usually considered friends, and the complications (like having different languages (which is why we made translyrics in Swedish & Finnish for the second to last chorus)) of it seemed fascinating to work with.
They get separated and as they aren't the same animals they will fight against each other, and years later they probably wouldn't recoqnize the other. They do end up fighting against each other, realizing who the other is and wondering if they somehow would be able to play together again, just like old times.

Why did you pick this song?:
We picked this song because it's simple yet catchy.
Also it tells a story that contradicts itself which was a bit what we wanted to use since our voices don't sound too well when in solo but have a really pretty blend when together*

Story behind the relationship the two characters in the song have:
Nobody has a simple, painless life.. and because of that, sometime we feel like a "Matryoshka covered in patches" and get frustrated..
And to get away from that we search for someone to make us forget that,
someone who we can dance all night and just be childish, with who we can just ..relax.
This is our relation. We support each other even though, sometimes, we get so frustrated that we simply collide..and argue/get mad and want to be left alone .. "Dance quickly, and get out of my sight"!

But, in the end.. we are that close that, even when we argue..we know we will be there if needed.
(we added that final dialog - right at the ending of the instrumental - to express that*)

So basicly, it's a love x hate relation because sometimes, our hidden feelings, our daylife frustrations get out..
In the song we reflected this "hate" with the parts where we don't blend, as if we were just trying to make the other and everything sound bad.. but when we sing together, we blend, we give strenght to one another and that's our love*

Why did you pick this song?: [Because it was in our ranges and we found a story in it (LOL)] This song is titled “Sakura Song,” and because sakura flowers symbolize friendship, we chose it to represent our relationship.
How is this song related to your theme?: At the end of this contest, we have become friends and as the theme is to portray your relationship, we are portraying love and friendship, since the song is about love….and friendship.
Story behind the relationship the two characters in the song have: This song reflects a love between a princess and a warrior who have a forbidden love due to their different social standings. We took this concept and made it our own (especially since we’re two girls) by the thought that love can also be seen as a strong friendship -- which is what we have going on. In addition, they (the princess and the warrior) are both political symbols for a country, and while we both live in the same country, we are separated by different states (almost-neighboring states too -- so close, but so far away~), so they represent different parts of the country, separated by the differences in states (relating to the song: same nation, different social standing). Along with that, we took the representation of sakura frequently shown in the video as a marking of reincarnation, so we could also say that we were destined to be partners and friends~♥

--WHY DID WE PICK THE SONG?

Paranoia is a beautiful song that we both enjoyed, and it depicts a deep and emotional story. We felt that it was a great song to try and portray.

--STORY

Paranoia is a song about a girl who fell in love with a guy who didn't love her back the same way she did.

He spoke hollow words with no meaning which made her feel like he was the only thing important in her life.

She realizes that his love is not real yet can't get herself to hate him, to get over him.

He meant the world to her. Whenever she was with him she felt content and happy. It hurts to be without him.

The pain is so overwhelming that she can't get used to it. Yet she holds hope that one day she can get over him.

Till that day comes she continues to see him in her dreams.

"Anata ni aitai, sayounara ni tsutaetai. Sore wa...atashi no saigo no nozomi."

- I want to see you and be able to say goodbye. That is my last wish.

Ending a relationship is a sad and hard time, but it is important for both parties to not dwell in the past but look forward and try to find happiness again.

--WHY IS THERE NO BLEND?

the relationship the girl and the boy have was never meant to be. everything is insecurity and pain and paranoia.

yo this was so rushed at the end u dont even kNOW--[/font][/color]
