Title: Acoustikaraoke 2014
Post by: jedisurvivor on April 26, 2014, 10:29:38 PM
Hi all-
I didn't see a thread for Acoustikaraoke, so I thought I'd start one, especially since I have a question about it. :)

What kinds of songs are allowed?  The rules for the regular karaoke contest say that a song needs to be from "anime, vocaloid, video game, or J-rock/J-pop."  Does this extend to Acoustikaraoke as well?  If I wanted to make an arrangement of a song from a video game originally released in Japan, would that be allowed?

Thank you!

Acoustic karaoke is when you get people together and use real instruments and stuff.  Regular karaoke you just get a track and sing to that.  :D

We do allow a single, unplugged instrument in the main contest, but anything more complicated than that is for the Acoustikaraoke contest.

Acoustikaraoke is also for folks who want to perform a cappella renditions or any other reinterpretations. The judging weighs creativity more heavily than in the main contest, which is a straight up gauge of singing ability.

I will be posting the Acoustikaraoke contest rules and details tomorrow.
