SPYAIR
THE ROOTLESS
Gran Rodeo
DOES
SCANDAL
Nico Touches the Wall
AKFG (Asian Kung-Fu Generation)

hank-san, i might have to be placed on group 2 because something
came up and i might not make it on the time on the group you have put
me in. is it possible if i can be place on group 2 instead? if so, please let
me know. if i have to be there in person to tell my situation in person, i
will do that. besides, i got your email about not having the final song
info on the list and i plan to change the final song i put in the first place.

Thank you for posting!  Lauren, Jackie, and I are at the top of the list together.  Karaoke buddies, woot woot!

they did that because they know we're AWESOME TOGETHERRRRRR :D
hope they do the contest order so we're together too XD haha

whelp time to start practicing :p

i can't wait to see you and the ladies perform. i'll bring my Chopper fan to cheer you on. i hope i won't be a nervous wreck to everyone.

I was looking up songs for them last night.  They seem like an awesome band.  I was also trying to find info on them, are they pretty new?

they started somewhere in 2009. i first knew of them through Bleach.

I'm excited, too! All I can say is...it seems like Fanime is on a DRRR spree with these musical guests (first Yuya Matsushita who did the ending for the series, and now ROOKIEZ who did the opening).

Not that I mind, since I'll be doing a DRRR cosplay.  :D

that's amazing kuu-chan. i can't wait to see it. it is rare to see
big guests that perform from the same anime come to the con.

well, this is what it looks like.

the 4 member band will perform at the con for the first time overseas.
they performed wonderful songs for popular anime such as Ao no Exocist,
Bleach and Durarara. i can't wait to see them. they are amazing bunch.
leave your thoughts on the topic please. no blunt or bad thoughts please.

thanks, hank-san. i have already submitted mine. let us know the
results when the entries are closed. rest well.  :)

thanks for your efforts, hank-san. rest well now.

The issue has been fixed, or at least we have a temporary workaround.

Signups will begin at exactly 11:00PM.

i agree with you, sy-san. besides, i'm not sleepy yet and i'm working on my essay.

Wow, there sure are a lot of people waiting to sign up!  Good thing there aren't over 45 people, so I don't have to worry about not getting in.

yes. patience is a virtue. we must have faith on our staff.

O_O?

Be patient.  The link will be posted.  It was an ESTIMATED time of posting.  Just keep refreshing the forum page and it'll be there when Hank gets to it. :D

I apologize for my appearance of impatience.
I did not wish to offend you.
My post did not fully send. I will edit it.

Oh, I wasn't offended!  I just know from previous years that we have to wait.  It's just part of the game. I should have italicized the word estimated instead of putting it in all caps, but was too lazy to do so.  I just want people to remember that the amazing karaoke staff have lives outside of con.  <3  I apologize if I came across angrily.  I'm not staff or anything, but I just know it can be frustrating if people start saying things because it didn't go exactly as planned.  We're all in the same boat.  I'm stalking the forums just like you and all of the other contestants. :b

hello all! i like to know if any dealers this year will sell any anime characters arm cushions. i saw ads where they have Durarara, Fate/zero, Code Geass, and Uta no Prince-sama. if so, give a heads up. if you like know what the cushions look like, pm me and i can send an email with the pic ad. thank you.

Hi Hank!

Quick question: you mention that we can't add harmony tracks, etc....but how about cutting down a song that is too long (especially for the first round)?  For example if I wanted to sing a verse and the bridge of a song as opposed to just the first 2 minutes (which might have a long intro that wastes time) I'd need to cut the karaoke track to fit what parts I'd like to sing.  Is this okay?

Thanks!

No need to cut down a song- if it has a long intro, we can start it when the vocals begin. All songs are faded out at the time limit.

Edit again because I have some more questions: is it ok to leave the somewhat long-ish introduction in if you have a dance/performing part to do to it? (I'm a theater person so I have the whole thing planned in my head haha) also if it's just a few seconds over the time limit is that ok? or will it be faded out to end exactly at the time limit? And will points be taken off if   for the first round it's only 1:30?

There is no penalty for songs shorter than the time limit. We start fading at 2:00, so you may get an extra second or two.

Hi Hank! <3

I have a quick question! Since I don't speak japanese, sometimes choosing songs can be kinda tricky! On youtube, some people like rockleetist will write english lyrics to fit the the song's melody and meaning as closely as possible. Would be acceptable to use something like this in the contest?

You would have to sing the Japanese lyrics, unless the song is an official English version (for example, for the dubbed version of the anime). Most of our competitors do not speak Japanese.

hank-san, what time is the sign-up going to be posted?

It will be in the evening. I will announce exact time in a few days.

thanks, hank-san. i will be on the look out.

i was a little nervous last year, but i will be more confident this time. 

hank-san, what time is the sign-up going to be posted?

how did this topic come up here??  This is so old.  The date is for the fanime 2006.

I guess no official update yet..

i didn't know. well, old threads should not be posted up.

Wolfgale, is the sign up April or the date you posted?

super happy that they are performing for the first time in the US. i've been their fan since their hit on Naruto. i can't wait to see them perform and meet them in person. my brother is big fan of them. so glad Fanime came through.  ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
