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?

Did anyone get any photos of me?

I'm Aoi's friend, and I'll definately be there as Eureka!! Sunday works out perfectly for me, so I'm very excited!! ^^ <3

The original question dealt with editing the music. My answer was addressing if someone were to take the musical track and alter the pitch so it fits their natural vocal range. Not an automatic DQ, but I could see points being taken off for it if the judges know the natural pitch of the song.

OK, good to know!! Thank you very much for clearing that up!! :D

Yes, or you can just ask us to start the song when the vocal portion starts.

Yes, you are free to sing the song at your natural pitch.

thank you~

but just to be absolutely sure so that i don't break the rules, does this mean that we can change the pitch of the track or just that we can sing at our natural pitch but with the original track untouched. Sorry i wasnt being clear when i asked.

You should pick a song that matches your natural pitch. The judges might not take kindly to shifting the pitch of the song.

I'm confused about this answer...
When you say the judges might not take kindly, what does that mean? If the song's pitch is changed, will the person be disqualified, or will it affect the performance's scoring?

I just know for me personally, even if I can sing the song, setting the pitch higher or lower can sometimes suit and show off my tone and range a whole lot better. Plus, It's more fun to pick a song you love and change the pitch, rather then just picking a song simply because it matches your natural pitch.
But if it's not allowed, that's totally understandable too!

eeeek, so exciting!!

My friend I can definately make it!
