QuoteOh that's wonderful!  There IS interest.  I'm pleased to let you know that I've been planning a Japanese-language panel for nearly two years now, but I've been wavering on my decision to do it because I fear a lack of interest.  Feel free to message me any time if you have specific requests or suggestions!

YES PLEASE ^^ If this is still being planned, it'd definitely be on my list of ones I wanna see ^^

I want more Japanese culture related panels, esp. ones about food :P

The only panel I could go to last year was the J-Pop vs. K-Pop panel because I was super busy staffing or being too tired from staffing to browse ^^; but it was really fun! More K-Pop panels please, maybe even a panel about the K-Pop and J-Pop collision and the Japanese reaction to Korean artists singing JP songs, with all the K-Pop artists moving into Japan ^^

kpop requests are allowed now? ^^ It makes sense that they'd have to be JP related though :]


Suggestions are welcomed, but it's just mostly for discussion!! ^_^

Yep, as it's been said in previous posts, it honestly only makes sense as long as the kpop groups/artists have had official debuts in Japan (but at this point, that's like almost everybody!), BUT! They also should have proven their worth on the Japanese market (and that's not everybody!).

I've been keeping my eye on both scenes, so I've got a grasp of what suggestions make sense and what suggestions really don't.  Since MusicFest is for the fans, everyone's input is important for the line-up, and since the number of requests for Korean artists have been on the rise, I thought it'd be something to look into. It just has to make sense!

Wouldn't want to invite guests that make attendees go "...so...why them??"  :D


lolol true! In that case I'd probably limit my list to..

BoA
JYJ
Younha
Big Bang
KARA
SNSD/Shoujo Jidai

in order of relevance ^^ KARA and SNSD are still newish but KARA started the butt dance revolution and released their own album that topped the charts! lol SNSD hasn't done much in the JP scene yet.. and they would probably cost like a million dollars anyway XD
But I vote JYJ especially, they're promoting in the US with their tour coming up, and DBSK has (or used to have? But I remember seeing an article saying Tohoshinki's music is still selling like crazy even though they're broken up) a huge presence in Japan ^^ They even did one of the One Piece ending songs!! <3
And lately I've been addicted to Love in The Ice lives http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wkjvne7qnYc -goosebumps-

I picked other, I hate the banned free hugs and/or random dancefests =/

kpop requests are allowed now? ^^ It makes sense that they'd have to be JP related though :] I add~

JYJ
SNSD/Shoujo Jidai
SHINee (they're debuting in Japan in April!)
BoA
Younha
Big Bang
KARA
2NE1, they're going to debut in JP sometime this year AND they're supposedly planning to extend promotions to the US. I even see a hint of this 2NE1 --> US business when I go to Comcast OnDemand, there's a kpop section and there's always like 4 2NE1 songs vs. one or two of every other artist.. :P It makes me wonder if YG Entertainment is testing the waters~
After School just debuted in Japan with Namie Amuro! if both of them come they can sing their song together :P
LOL it seems like the entire kpop world is moving to Japan, and then with Yamapi going up to promote in Korea.. the two countries are gonna totally switch stars XD

And as for more JP artists, I'd love to hear Ayumi Hamasaki or Namie Amuro in person ^^ (too much to ask?)
Chieko Kawabe sung the theme song for Ouran High School Host Club, and I loooove the rest of her music <3
AKB48, I got totally interested in their music after seeing the Beginner video! I felt a strong inspirational message lurking beneath the controversy.. like they were breaking free of the machine in the video, which says something about the unconventionality of their group (and their music video), and maybe in a deeper meaning, how the rest of the world shouldn't feel obligated to follow the crowd. Like, you have to be yourself no matter how chained up you feel by normality ^^ lol there's a million ways that video can be interpreted but that'd be mine.
Gackt, reading his translated life story made me pay more attention to him, and he and his music are awesome <3 But apparently he doesn't like to go out of Japan..? for a reason I can't remember atm..?
Tackey and Tsubasa, they sung one of the opening themes of One Piece :)
#11
Count me in to be some form of Nico Robin ^^
#12
YAY HOPE THIS HAPPENS ^^ If I cosplay, I'm gonna be Nico Robin from One Piece <3

Staff & Volunteers / Re: Centralized staff descriptions
February 17, 2011, 07:03:32 PM
This would be great! I'd love to know the requirements and duties of each staff dept :)
#14
NOOOOOO!! I'm 19 ~__~

Thanks for your input everyone, and thank you Acid_Android!! I wish I'd known about the age requirement when sending in my application  :-\ I'm glad I'm not 16 anymore at least.. When I finally turned 18 I thought I'd be able to pursue my career full speed ahead but sigh.. age limits are pesky.  :'( Though I totally understand why they're put into place. I'll definitely apply again for a Musicfest staff position in 2 more years! Thanks again :)
#15
Do the staff signups for Musicfest always fill up super quickly? And do you know (whoever you are reading this) if I still have a chance at making it into the Musicfest staff? It'd be awesome on my resume, and concerts are my expertise ^^

I wish I knew I actually could have been part of staff and volunteering isn't my only option, because I bought one of the 55$ badges thinking that the only way I could volunteer is by going to the con itself and walking into the volunteer room >__< People were saying that I needed a badge first!  :-\ Ah.. so if I become a staff member instead of a volunteer (even though staff are technically volunteers too, which threw me off), do I still get a refund on the badge I bought? Because I know volunteers get a refund, but staff get their own badge, which might complicate things?

Thanks to anyone reading/responding ^^

The fan side of me wants to meet voice actors, the college student in me wants to meet the businessy people just to ask them for advice on my future XD

I was just going to use this post to spaz over the kpop, but I'll try to make a constructive critique of your DJness like kookiekween did ^^ (haha, you gave kookiekween a cookie)
These are my random thoughts as I'm listening to your mix~

0:00-0:30 were okay, but too slow. I fastforwarded to around 2:00 because I didn't want to go too far and miss anything. It was still eh.. okay.
(3:50) REALLY liking it.
(7:30) HELLO KPOP! It Hurts by 2NE1! The lyrics shattered the creeping mundanity of the instrumental at the perfect time.
yay, Chobits music!
(16:00) I think if I heard this on a dance floor, I'd feel like I was dancing around in a magical place ^^ (Which I love)
This next song I've never heard of, but it sounds REALLY good, esp. in the background!
(19:58) the beat is gorgeous, and so catchy!!
(24:00) The music doesnt mesh with the background music to me.. like someone random is singing over the actual music.
Fast-forwarded to 37:28 from 30:00 because I'm antsy to get to your kpop part ;D
DUUUUUUUDE G-DRAGON HEARTBREAKER AND SNSD GENIE! You rock. So much. T__T
Never heard the next song, it sounds funny :P
(46:42) omg, amazing beat
(52:30ish) lol this might be a bit too much DJing.. it sounded like there were malfunctions with the speaker system
(1:02:00) -facepalm- >__< -gets off dance floor-
fastforwarded to 1:04:00... X[
fastforwarded to 1:07:00.. X[
fastforwarded to 1:08:00 Ooooh! But even though I listen to The Leaders all the time in my car, I honestly don't like to dance to hiphop.. lol if this was Fanime, I'd still be off the dance floor but I'd be spazzing wherever I'm sitting.
Ooo, Follow Me! YG is all over this mix, hahah. still.. I like trance better than hiphop for dancing, even if it's 2NE1 <3 I have to say though, you blend kpop and hip hop REALLY WELL!! O__O It sounds good but not for dancing.
(1:14:58) LOL!!! this song. :P
(1:15:36) Funkyyyy.
(1:17:00) Uhoh, it's boring and repetitive now XD and I dont like the song you mixed it with.
(1:19:00) hahahah, more 2NE1~ But this time I think I can dance to it ^^ this can never be a undanceable song though. it would have been interesting if you mixed it with the english version!
Haha, I expected your ending to be cleverly "DJ, put it back on"
*applause* AWESOME JOB!!

Flow: 8.8
Tempo: 6.8
Content: 7
Overall: 7.5
Favorite Part: 12:30 - 47:00 (lol, is that too broad)

Overall Comments: Youre awesome for incorporating a pretty good amount of kpop ^^ But it sounded like 70% YG artists and 30% other! (The jpop mostly sounded good to me, except that one guy singer.) You should make your main kpop song choice have the diversity of your finale medley :) I heard Sistar, Narsha, miss A, Son Dambi, T-ara, KARA, BoA <3 imo, lose the hiphop/rap. My music scale of love for the dance floor would be: kpop/jpop > trance/electronic > all other pop (gaga, katy perry, ke$ha) > everything else > hiphop/rap :P
Hope this helps ^^
