Share with me!! (SnM)

Jess. ILU. kighjweffhejkfejkf ! Yuh, I usually stick to YouTube, cause it's how I discovered dubbing. But since then I've stumbled upon YoProject (thanks to Buggy) and it's more forum based. I adore downloading MP3s and everything doesn't need to be YT. I am so excited to learn of Sekai no Melody and Kaori Basket. How did I not know of these?!?


We'll start things off with SnM (as it's often shortened too)~ Their name is Japanese for “The World’s Melody”, which "describes precisely the focus of our goal." They have a little 'About Us' type of page that you can check out if interested. It actually says it all;

"Sekai no Melody is a long-running (est. December 2004) multilingual singing organization featuring people of all languages, ranges, abilities, skills, and interest. We not only sing Japanese, but also English, Korean, Spanish, French, Chinese, and many more! Simply speaking, Sekai no Melody is an interesting take on the regular same-old, same-old internet Jpop groups – we cover many genres and styles, so there is always something for everyone!"

I admit that I'm too lazy to sit here and count all of their members, since a number isn't listed. So let's just say they have a lot. Here is there Member page, in case you're wondering. There are six groups listed there; TarotCafe, Paratoile, Kristallen, ValeriA, Violetta, & PureAmbition.

If you head over to their Discography page, it's goodies galore! *grabby hands* I wanna download them alllll~ And also, there are more groups listed! Like Shuffle Groups & their SOLO! Project. But also; Language Teams, English! Project, Morning Melody, Sailor Melody, Anime! Project, Broadway! Project, BOYSTYLE! Project, & SNM48. *mini brain meltdown* So much I wanna check out ;w;

Anyways! They also have their own forum! And that is where I got this first dub from! I was poking about in there and stumbled upon SNM48's release of Aitakatta. I downloaded it and have been listening to it on repeat for a while now. Here is the thread on it, including the download link!

Cast list
Itano Tomomi - Kyttyee / Kojima Haruna - Sorachu
Maeda Atsuko - Rosie / Minegishi Minami - Miri
Nakanishi Rina - NekoYukai / Narita Risa - YamiRin
Ohe Tomomi - Solaire / Oshima Mai - Koichiyo
Shinoda Mariko - Elsa / Takahashi Minami - Alice
Tojima Hana - ayaka / Akimoto Sayaka - Umi
Kasai Tomomi - Maya / Kobayashi Kana - Kristy
Matsubara Natsumi - Shubi / Miyazawa Sae - Katie
Noro Kayo - Aqua / Oshima Yuko - kiko
Ono Erena - Zemire / Umeda Ayaka - lilmenchi

These names don't really mean much to me right now, since I don't think I know anyone. Well I know a Maya, but I don't know if it's the same girl. And I think I sort of know lilmenchi from YT. But regardless, I think they all deserved to be listed!!

jkbgeswjkgnjkgnrjkgn ! ! ! I LOVE this dub. Aitakatta is among my favorite AKB songs and I don't think I've ever heard a dub of it. These gals did flipping amazing! This song is such a group song, I don't think there are any solos; just a bunch of little groups and then the whole group & stuff. And this group of lovely singers did a fabulous job on the blending!!!

I can sort of hear someone on the lower harmonies aside from the group, but not in a stick-out way, just noticable. The higher-ish notes in the chorus were great! All of the lines were delivered very well, and the energy is awesome!! This dub is fan-freaking-tastic. If this were uploaded on the old YT I'd totally break the rating-thingy by giving them a kajillion stars~


OH! I almost forgot. I also uploaded Nanchatte Renai by PureAmbition. I saw it in the latest entry on SnM's homepage and couldn't resist, since I like this song a lot.

"PureAmbition’s latest release once again takes us down memory lane in a moving musical memento of a love story. From scorned love, to eternal love, this aptly-named release displays all the colours of love. Released March 17th, 2010."

01. Nanchatte Renai
02. Doushite Kimi wo Suki ni Natte Shimattan Darou
03. Tell Me Your Wish
04. Love Forever

Another superb dub!! I listened to this on repeat before and after listening to Aitakatta, lol. Many very lovely voices in this, and all the girls sang wonderfully. I really really like this, and I can't wait to listen to more stuff from SnM! Again, ILU Jess. Thanks for sending more amazing stuff my way.
