[CLOSED] Isshin Furan [Recording! >w<]

What up, YTC?!?! Having just successfully completed a trio, Shuu is back recruiting for another one! The feature this time is the chic and stylish Isshin Furan! (Am I trying too hard to sell it? ...) Anyway, I love this song, haha. 

Here is the original Vocaloid version: 





Here is a conveniently colour coded script (credits to Yukari) and an off vocal. 

I would like to recruit 2 singers of either gender. I don't really care which part I get to sing, so please choose, and I'll take what's left. (Alternatively, if there is not enough interest, we can turn this into a duet and I'll attempt the nqrse/ill.bell rap (as here).) Please reply with the following:

Please confirm that I haven't lost you with my super long absence with a message! Thanks.

Should I record a sample of one rap for audition purpose?

Sure! If you have something you want to show off apart from just plain singing, please feel free to include it in your audition! 

Can't wait to hear from you!

Alias: Riyumi
Part you're auditioning for: Luka or Gumi
Audition: https://app.box.com/s/domve2ykzla9o39jzmp2ucz20h2dqrej *EDITED*

Comfortable-->Power--> Rap
Youtube/Soundcloud/etc: www.youtube.com/HerAzureButterfly

Warning: not sure if it's audacity settings or I was standing a bit farther off (probably was farther actually...), but the recording this time is a bit soft it's usually much louder. I suggest turning up your volume, but making sure you turn it back down if you have earphones ^^;; don't want to blast your ears off!


idk why my box link won't be a click and go link, but oh well! Will learn this song ASAP~ Pretty sure meshed or went off key when I sang the Luka + Gumi line at the end xP But I love how it sounds. If you need a louder audition--I can redo it ^^ Just let me know~

Riyumi, your speaking voice is so adorable! 

Apart from a few places where you're dragging behind beat just a little (but you catch up later!), I think you're totally rocking it. Thanks for auditioning!

uwah. Thanks >///< 


Oooh. I'll work on those! (Even if I'm not picked--I want to do a cover of this song muahaha). Probably going to stick with comfortable voice because power for this song sounds strained ^^;; Thanks for hosting OvObbb Found a song that I really like hehe (only heard it once before; I believe there was a group of 3 who completed this a year ago?? xD)

Yeah, there's a really pro trio who did this for a contest, I think! (But I've been out of the loop, so I don't really know haha.) 

On a side note, I also think your comfortable voice sounds the best. Because that's what Riyumi-chan naturally sounds like, right?

I think that's the one! (no worries...I have terrible memory. Even if you're our of the loop--here's to a new one!)


Yep! It's au-naturale~ For this pitch of a song anyways ahaha. My voice is usually lower. Hence why I kind of don't want to try out for Miku since I will make her notes shoot up octaves xD I mean...esp. if I'm already high for Luka/Gumi lol.

Thanks for auditioning, Rioko and Blue! 

@Rioko: Your timing is great, but I feel you're holding back and straining a little. Let it all out! 

@Blue: Also great on timing! A few places where you could clean up the pronounciation, but otherwise great! 

(Also, someone please tell me if it's obnoxious of me to try to hand out constructive criticism on auditions, cause I will totally stop doing it. o___o")

I think it's great that you do that, it lets me know what I need to work on in the future. I, personally, like it.

Constructive critique is always welcome in my book! Even more so for an audition~ That way, I will know what I need to work on for a certain song as well as help me apply it for other auditions/songs I can do ^^

Not to mention, if the deadline for the auditions is at a farther date, I can redo it so that it's better/can practice for the song more :>

Haha, good to know. Thanks for the feedback, Blue and Riyumi. I'll probably keep the auditions open for a good length of time while I clear some other stuff off my plate. Feel free to update your audition if you'd like!

I feel sorry but my voice gets like that when I sing vocaloid songs.
 about my technique, I should go to fonoaudiologia (I don't know how to speak it in English) because I want a new breath technique so I can sing better. 
With that said I won't record again. There's a video in the covers forum with my voice.
Thanks for the feed back

What do you suggest I should fix other than my pronunciation? Please tell me your honest opinion.

@Rioko: Vocaloid songs are really hard, actually. @__@ Because they weren't written for real people to sing to begin with, the producers just end up doing whatever they want. In comparison to pop songs or anime songs, Vocaloid songs tend to require a ridiculous range and much more vocal control. Also, I did listen to your cover earlier, actually! I think you sounded great; definitely much more relaxed. I enjoyed listening to it.

@Blue: Hm... To be honest, I quite liked your singing. But you know, a few years ago (wow, I'm so old ahahaha), someone told me I should focus less on the lyrics and more on the actual sound. I think I could give that to you. I think whatever awkwardness is in your singing now is actually mostly because of unfamiliarity with the song and with singing in general. After getting the lyrics down pat so you're not worrying about them as much as you sing, I think you'll sound great!

Thanks namie amuro and koda kumi are my favourite singers so my voice has kind of accepted the fact of singing in their range. I also like kpop but my korean pronunciation is very bad haha, even my English pronunciation is bad hah ah BTW my native lenguage is spanish. In case of kpop various layers are needed for do a cover haha (and that's the reason of why I don't cover snsd songs haha)

is this still open?

There is no deadline yet so don't worry about it~

Oh man~ I kinda want to do nqrse & ill.bell's rap too... I found the lyrics too, if you don't already have them, Shuuki.

I'll try to find some time to audition~

@YunoR: It totally is! Please audition! 
 
@Kuma: asdfjkl; YES! I would love to hear your rap!  Also, I promise you I suck at rapping hahaha

When is the deadline for this? :3

@Shuuki: Here's the vocal + rap lyrics on an ameblo: http://ameblo.jp/inaka72kuu/entry-11734660465.html (If anyone else wants to try for the rap too~ These lyrics are so suggestive lol...)

I'll do my best! If I could learn how to do Renai Yuusha, I think I can learn how to do the rap for this. 
さぁDO IT~
