don't get discourage, you can still sign up at the con. even if you don't
get in the list, do the open mic. i signed up last year, but i had to bail
out cause of an emergency, so i did open mic.

.......  :-[ :-[ :-[ Sigh........ Completely forgotten to sign up until today!

I got my fingers crossed! I really want to enter!

i'll cheer for if you cheer for me.  :)

i understand you, cloud. if you ever need some advice, you can ask me. i half fluent in speaking Japanese. 12 years, but i still need more practice. i hope to see you at the event. i can't wait to hear you n everyone sing. i signed up too, so look out for me.

Thank you! I hope to see you there too. I'm really looking forward to fanime and the contest!

うん！ｗｗｗありがとうございます！(I will type in English now, so people will understand) I am studying because I come from Filipino, Chinese, Japanese descent, have family members living there, and am weak in my native languages.  My girlfriend is also an international student from Chiba, and I am planning to move in with my family in Kani-shi, Gifu to further continue my studies and pursue a career in a year or so, meaning this might be my last Fanime in the states.
Anyways, I digress, good luck to everybody! Let's make this fanime karaoke contest and year memorable for everybody!

I'm half Japanese, but I'm still nowhere near fluent. I'm planning to study in Japan a couple of years from now. Hopefully everything works out alright. Good luck with your studies and career! It sounds like a really interesting experience!
I completely agree, let's all have fun competing in the contest and make this year's fanime a memorable one! :)

hey kitty, i hope to see you there. i feel so nervous competing for the first time, but
i will have so much fun meeting new ppl  now. give it your all everyone n happy practicing.

Can't wait to see the list! Good luck to everyone! I have a feeling its going to be a lot of fun this year. :D

yayy!! we can do it together again this year :)
me, u, supersheba, kzuna (if he ever responds) and possibly others :D

i'm done. when it asks the song and version, does that mean if it's anime or j-pop version? cause i put the name of the song n i put anime in paranthesis.

echoes by universe

i'm gonna sound stupid for asking this: can anyone help me
make a song karaoke version or instrumental? i don't know
how to do it. i tried to do it, but it's not working out. can
someone help me? if not, thanks anyway. :-[

Which song? I'll PM you back the instrumental.

@supersheba: YAYY!!! im excited to see u again! for sure we'll hang out durin con since we actually kno each other this time. maybe chi and kaya too as well?

im super stoked, 7th year at fanime
its gonna be difficult
btu ima make it work :D

cant wait to see and hear everyone there!

me too. this will be my first time to compete. i got my songs n i am ready to sing my heart out.
do your best practicing ppl. i hope i meet you all at the con soon.  :)

yes, FLOW really made the event more lively. i can't believe i got to see them in person n they left their signs as a memoir. my fave possession.

One thing I've noticed over the years is that certain conventions seem to have solid relationships with different animation studios, so if you like said animation studio, going to that convention would be a smart thing to do as there's a high chance that there will be guests from that studio.

Fanime appears to be on good terms with GAINAX and Hiroyuki Yamaga is a staple at Fanime.  Last year he was unable to attend Fanime due to personal reasons, but instead Fanime had Fumio Iida, which, IMO, was very nifty.  I wouldn't be surprised if either Yamaga or someone else from GAINAX attends this year.

Mamoru Yokota is also a regular at Fanime.  He was here both in 2010 & 2011.  Here's to hoping he comes back in 2012.  Same thing with FLOW.  They put on a good show.

I've gone to several different cons on the West Coast.  Fanime is still my favorite.
