Summer love~

"In this project we don't need someone with the same voice like the originals but someone with talent and love for Hello!Project music....the project name is Hikari which in Japanese is Light." I think it's darling and helpful that the project leader, Sana, wrote a little bit about the names of their individual groups. You can view their YT channel to read about Yoru Musume, Tsuki Koubou, S-tar, & S/hineage and also to see full cast lists for each group + "as you can see all the names came from the shining night sky."

Yume Miru 15sai by S/hineage ~ Debut release! I could not get into this, mainly cause my attention span is starting to go. But also because sometimes one group dubs a song and then it owns your heart. Lol, that sounds lame but it's true. I'll always think of a certain dub when I think of or hear this song, and sometimes not comparing is difficult.

Just from listening to this a few times through; I think the overall energy level is pretty good, but a few more notches wouldn't hurt. All the girls sing at a good volume and blend well together. The high notes are nice throughout, though some of them could be stronger and/or held out a bit longer (depending on the note). I'm not really feeling the "That's Summer Love" (whatever the lyric is) parts in this, but I do like the group parts that lead into the chorus, like "Minogasenai" at 0:57.

Kanny sounds wonderful but I'd like a bit more umph! from her. Mai is adorable, though her soft/cuteness makes her energy more subtle. Umika I'm new to I belive; she has nice energy and a lovely voice. Daniel did a really swell job on Saki's part and sounds marvelous overall. I like the girls on all parts of this song, it's hard to decide what I like the most. idk. There are a handful of off notes here and there, but nothing super bad.

The timing seems fine (one or two iffy spots), and though I don't have the lyrics in front of me right now, I haven't heard any really off or confusing pronunciation. The "FIFUTIIN"s are a little iffy at times, not always super clear. OH I just picked on the fact that the duets in the pre-chorus are sung as solos (0:50ish & 2:00ish). I don't know if it's intentional, but if the dub is supposed to follow the original song, then the duets are lacking.

Hmm if I had to pick some fave lines by each girl it'd be the following. Mai I like the most on her solos during the 'summer love' parts at 0:42ish ("Mune ga sawagu wa") & 1:52ish ("Machi kirenai wa"). Her "AH"s are nice too. Daniel's terrific at 0:46, her "dekiru" is pretty and she manages the solo well. With Kanny it's slim pickings, cause Ayaka doesn't have tons of lines. I like her the most at 2:28 & 3:02 -the same melody both times- because she has the most energy at those times out of all her solos.

Daniel's "wow oh" around 3:13 is epic!!! I love her attitude. Umika has pretty good energy throughout the dub, but I think she shines most at 3:04 & 3:17. She's swell on the verses but I like her more in the chorus, and on her last two solos she's got great umph! especially on "teiru" and "shii yo" ~ all the little things aside, this dub is a splendid debut.

-- And since it's not likely I'll ever write about it, cause I really dislike the song;

I'm trying to get through my requests, but I really really really need to catch up on Totally Up! Project releases. They have a concert going on, plus a good handful of other releases that I haven't checked up on over the course of the past few weeks. ilypurply & all TU!Pers!



Jessica: Rae
Yuri: Katie
Yoona: Teefah

Tiffany: Sachiko
Sooyoung: Eva/Zoey
Hyoyeon: Teefah/Zoey
Sunny: Hachi
Seohyun: Eva

Back-Up Vocals: Purply & Eva

Run Devil Run by Star!U / CClyrics / I like this song, but I don't love love it. And I think that's part of the reason I've been putting it off, aside from the whole no energy thing. I just can't get motivated to write about this fully. I love the girls in this to pieces!! But I'm going to sort of jump around, say whatever catches my attention~

The first part of this is awesome! The solos are as follows; Rae (0:12ish, 0:35ish), Katie (0:20), Teefah (0:28, 0:34), Sachiko (0:42) and Eva (0:50). Rae does well on starting the dub off, I like her "bad boy" ~ Teefah's 0:28 solo is very smexy and ear-pleasing!! *o* I especially love Eva's part, she's so gooood. And the backup singing by Pu/Ev is fabulous! 0:57 is the first chorus;

"You better run run run run run" ~ ohmygracious, the blending is outstanding!! So there and OHYES. 1:01ish is Hachi, who sounds a bit off to me, like she was in the wrong key or something. Eva's "hey" at 1:11ish is delicious+attitude! Zoey (1:24) finishes off the chorus. Second verse solos; Eva (1:30), Sachiko (1:37ish), and Katie (1:45). I like Sachiko's "Na obseul ddaen" a lot, and I think Katie's solo is marvelous! More chorus at 1:52, the group parts are so win!

Frick, I could marry Teefah's 1:57 solo, her "geodeocha jullae" is incredibly good. Like the best chocolate, only for your ears not your mouth. Hachi at 2:04 is terrific!! Solos after that are; Rae (2:07ish, 2:26) and Sachiko (2:19). I love Rae's smexiness in her 2:26 line. OMG 2:33! Zoey and Hachi show you their stuff; and they're smashing!! Zoey only has one solo before this and so I didn't have a lot to go by, her "Neol saranghae jul ddae jal haretji" is brilliant! The back&forth lines between these two are amazing! Hardcore pwn.

The remainder of the solos are; Katie (2:50ish), Zoey (2:58), Eva (3:01), and Rae (3:13. Rae also does some extra little "run run run"s, like at 2:55. Because my mind is fail when it comes to this for some reason, I haven't said nearly enough goods things about this dub. Just cause a song doesn't rock your boat doesn't mean you can't enjoy the vocals of a group of talented ladies.

Cast:
Raii [HanonHoshoAquaPearl]
Rei [Rareiroo]
Saya [AnimefreakXDD]
Ai [lovelybeige]
Kate [piratecool192]

Koi no Jubaku by Amai Natsu (ChARmSproject) / CClyrics / WOW! Thank you to Rei for sharing this with me, cause it's spectacular!! I already downloaded and slapped it on a playlist. Raii's first solo is kickbutt, unique and super ear-pleasing. She's got an adorable+lovely voice and sings very well. Her "-de yo" is mind blowing. I wasn't expecting it, but I totally love it. Following her is Rei; I love her "shiranai" ~ she has such a clear pretty sound. Cute too.

0:47 is Saya and I can't help but think; Momoko. Saya is perfect for this part with her energy and utterly kawaii singing. 1:01 is the pre-chorus; Kate has the first solo and she sounds wonderful! Following is Ai (1:04), Saya (1:07) & Rei (1:11). Chorus time 1:21!! O M G, rabu rabu rabu rabu. The chorus is AMAZING. I think I am hearing Raii and Rei more so than the rest of the girls on the full-cast parts, but the overall sound of the chorus is fantastic! The blending rocks!

Inbetween the group parts are smaller groups- 1:24 is Ai/Ka and 1:31 is Re/Sa/Ra ~ both groups are terrific. Kate has the first "Koi no jubaku" at 3:06, I think it could be stronger, but she did really good. Her notes are lovely. Ai does have a solo in the first verse but in reality, talking about every solo in a dub would be killer, lol. And when I heard her in the second chorus I knew I wanted to mention it more than her 0:54 solo. Ai at 1:44ish is sensational! She delivers well, I really like her "-de yo" ~ she sings it with attitude.

Rei at 1:51, goodness do I love her singing. Her transition from word to word is smooth, she has a delicious voice and I immensely enjoy listening to her. Following her is Saya, who's so spot on!! She's darling and her solo is fabulous. 2:14ish is Raii, I like her "tame no" ~ she's magnificent overall, even though you don't hear her all that much. Other solos in the second round of the pre-chorus are Ai (2:11), Rei (2:18), & Saya (2:21).

More chorus at 2:31!! Again, the blending is epic! 2:34 is Ai/Ka/Ra and 2:41ish is Re/Sa. I haven't yet mentioned that I also like the "aaa"s in this dub. 2:47 is Raii and her "koi no jubaku" is very pretty, I love it! The next chorus is by the full-cast, and starting at 3:08 it's the less-background-music part of the song (and I've always liked those parts). After two lines the music comes back in fully and the girls keep on rockin'! Pure win!

Saya's "koi no jubaku" at 3:24 is awesome!! She sounds so so so good! I love her "baku" & her whole solo is excellent. 3:32 is more group singing, which I looooove *o* 3:38ish is Ai/Ka/Ra again, who make a splendid trio. I especially like their "yappa koko de unazukenai aaa" ~ Rei has the last "koi no jubaku" of the dub, and it's fantastic! khjrtlkhmtrkl This is an outstanding release and I freakin' love it. Totally worth a listen.

Amai jikan wa Toori sugita wa!

So basically, I died because of work. I would love to always put this blog first, but I was too busy and by the end of the day, too tired. I threw up the twitter thing to let y'all know I was still alive, and I plan to keep on using it. Right now it's just massive catch-up time.



Takahashi Ai: Miyazu [ MiyazuChan ]
Tanaka Reina: Eva [ airisuzuki24 ]
Shimizu Saki: Lucy [ CherryxJuice ]
Yajima Maimi: Veri [ everidian17 ]
Maeda Yuuka: Amaya [ xsweetgurl ]

Kioku no Meiro by KonichibaProject (Shuffles) / I like Miyazu's opening "Amai kuchidzuke Anata no nioi" a lot; her whole solo is fabulous. Eva follows (0:26) sounding very sweet+cute+great! 0:56 is Veri, she has a mature rich sound and delivers well. Her first line is superb, and I like her "Mayonaka no denwa no" ~ Lucy at 1:10, she's overpowered by the harmonies, I wasn't sure what I was hearing at first. You can hear her more after the first line, like her terrific "Denwa kiru to douji ni" ~ I love her vocals and her "Dakishimeta yoru" is awesome & quite Saki-like.

Since this is a concert-shortened version of this song, the pre-chorus is only sung one time; Miya (1:24), Eva (1:28), Ama (1:31ish). Sadly -also because of the shortening- you only get to hear Lucy once in this dub. Lalala instrumental break and then TADA, it's Amaya at 2:05ish. She's darling as ever, though a tiny bit more umph from her would be cool. I was waiting for the "sugita wa" - well, then again I've never heard this concert version, so perhaps Yuuka isn't as umphy as Reina is when she sings it, lol. idk. Regardless, Amaya is marvelous.

2:20 chorus time!! This cast is fantastic together! I think my favorite part of this dub is the group lines. There are a few solos mixed in; Veri at 2:27 is splendid. It's nice to hear her on the chorus as well as the verse. When people like Ai and Reina get most of the spotlight, you sometimes don't get to hear the rest of the girls on more than one part of the song (if at all). Eva's 2:41 solo is brilliant!! I love her.

And finishing the dub off is Miyazu at 2:55. All of her lines are excellent, and her last is no exception. Her ending "yasashii" is swell. I really like this! The pronunciation sounds good and the timing is on. The energy level is nice and the overall sound is wonderful. The blending on the group parts is delightful and the girls also have good emotion on those parts.

Onna ni Sachi Are by Shiruku Musume (ShirukuProject) / Oh I've never listened to this dub with a close-up PV. I'm not a big fan of them, but I will say it's different watching faces as opposed to dancing when listening, idk why. 0:26 is Mitsuki kejwfnejkw fjkenk she's awesome! Her "Yuuhi ni" blows my mind a little bit, so clear and cute. Yay Lucy! I like her whole solo - she's lovely- but I favor her "Mada mimi ni nokoru" ~ 0:38 is Airu, ohmy she sounds wonderful!! I don't know if the harmonies came with or if they're by someone in the cast?

Be/Na are great together at 0:51!! And the following "BAKA ne BAKA ne BAKA ne"s by Ma/Fa/Ai are kind of cute+fierce; I love'em!! I think the cuteness in the trio is from Fae, gosh I adore her. Mit/Air at 0:57, they make a fab duo, I dig the blending. 1:00 is Lu/Mic, geesh I love'em!! Their umph is fantastic! The first chorus starts in at 1:05 and it's by the same super sounding pair. 1:11ish is Aiko! Ohemgee, cutekawaii clear sound + adorablysmexy attitude + kickbutt energy!!

1:49ish is Michimiruuu! Omg Risa's flirty expression and Michi's lovely mature-sounding voice together is is like, kfnekfjn yes. I like her "nukumori" a lot & her "Anata no" is good too. And ya know, this one part of a song comes to mind, it goes; DON'T DENY IT UH OH~ So yeah Michibby, we love you even if you think you're fail (which you aren't). 1:56 is the amazing Aiko again, hubbahubba I never tire of her singing. She's mega fabulous!

The pre-chorus at 2:08 is exactly the same before, line division wise, and it sounds just as smashing the second time as it did the first. 2:22ish is the next chorus started off by Ma/Ai, uwah they're totally cute+sweet!! Especially in the second half of this song, Lucy has a lot of good solos. I love her at 2:29! Her "Fukouhei sugiru" is sensational! Following her is Ma/Fa, and they're another cute pair! Faefae is darling and Manami is kawaii. Their whole duet is awesome.

3:34ish is Manami, her ending "sai" is a tiny bit iffy, but I like her first line a lot ("Aa Doko ka de"). She's a cutie!! 3:31 is Belly, sounding splendid on "Onna ni Sachi are" & she's followed by Nana who's a little pitchy on her "nobare" but she's got good energy. Lol, I suppose one cool thing about watching close-up PVs is that you can see expressions better; I love some of the ones I've seen. The rest of the dub is more chorus by different duets (with the exception of Lucy's last solo).

This whole thing is spectacular!! I've been jamming along with it for a while now. I had to stop about halfway through this entry to help my family with putting up the wall-mural in my room (it's pretty *o*). So I've happily listened to this several times, and I suggest that y'all at least give it one listen. Though I warn ya that you might find yourself hooked on this deliciously brilliant dub.

--Shiruku has had two other releases recently, so I figured I'd share'em with y'all. But I won't be writing about them right now. My main point of this entry was Shiruku's Debut!! I shall listen for fun though. Don't hesitate to do so yourselves as well!!

FuzzyLB

LOL at first I didn't know what FLB stood for, so I was going to PM the project account and ask. Then I viewed the background image on their profile and it all fell into place. Fuzzy Little B*tch Project; what a name. Their forums tell us that "FLBP was started June 17th, 2010 by Ai (MomoxMochi) and Shuichi (SweetieRainbow)."

FLBP currently consists of 17 girls and 7 boys & while that's not very balanced, that's more boys than seen in most projects. That's a total of 24 members and together they make up the three existing generations. The project has had three releases so far, all by different units; Masaru, Sora, and Takeo (an all male group). We'll start off with their latest, and the one that was sent to me as a request;

Tanaka Reina: Ryo [IanTanaka]
Kusumi Koharu: Shin [ThatBananaYes]
Mitsui Aika: Ren [AnicroFan]
LinLin & JunJun: ?

Shouganai Yume Oibito by Takeo / Fuzziness! There is quiet a bit of it, due mostly to mics I'm guessing. It's distracting and takes away from the overall sound of the dub, so better mics would be cool. I know that isn't super easy all the time (I live like 40+ miles from the closest place I could maybe get a good mic from) but definitely something that would improve the final result. Also there is some pitchiness throughout.

0:23 is Ai/Re, I really like how they sound together! Following their duet is Aiko solo- aha! Finally a name to go with the voice! He has a very nice sound, his low notes are lovely and his line is pretty smooth. I like his "anata" ~ 0:37 is Ry/Sh, they have good energy, though on the ending "teru" one of them is off. Right after them is Kaarosu, ohmy such a deep voice; I like! His timing is a little iffy on "suki ni natta" but I like how he sounds overall, especially his "sono me wo" & "ano hi"

Minoru at 0:52, OH it's Tai/Louie! At first I was like; wow he sounds familiar, but I don't know his name. And then I looked at his username and it made sense. The moment I heard this solo I adored it, too bad it's not longer. Minoru sounds wonderful!! I wonder is there is a meaning behind all the names? I'll have to ask. Following is Kiyoshi (Himi), I'm happy that I'm actually familiar with some of the voices here, but also delighted to hear new ones. I love the little bit o' attitude Kiyoshi sings his solo with, but his pronunciation is a bit iffy.

It seems like no one was given LinLin or JunJun's parts, but they are obviously sung by someone. So perhaps the guys just took turns? Whoever sang the Lin/Jun duet at 0:59 did a fab job (maybe Ka/?). Chorus time!! It's started off by Ai/Sh/Re, with Aiko soloing at 1:13, and jeepers does he sound fantastic!! His "negao wo" seems funky to me, but his overall delivery is great!

1:22 is Ry/Sh/Re, followed by Ryo (Ian); eek mic! Unless it's just my headphones screwing with me (they love to). His umph! is awesome -as always- but I'd love to hear him clearer. His "desu" is lovely! Aiko at 1:38 (linewhore Takahashi), his "shouganai yume oibi" is gorgeous, but his ending "to" is off. Second verse, 2:01 is Ka + whoever's JunJun; I'm really digging it. 2:16 is Mi + whoever's LinLin; the first line is splendid but as the duet goes on the two guys aren't together, you can hear it more in the second line.

A quick run through of some solos- 2:08 Ka, 2:23 Ry, 2:30 Ai, & 2:34 Ki. And then following the pre-chorus is more chorus! 2:51 is Minoru, who's as marvelous as ever. His "yuku" is a little short, but not bad. 3:06ish is Kaasoru, he sounds swell & I like his "shukufuku dekiru" but his ending "kana" is off key. At 3:16 Kiyoshi has the "shouganai yume oibito" ~ it's sweet+lovely. Gosh, non-dub related; the instrumental violin piece is awesome. Rabuuu.

I get annoyed a lot with H!P's unfairness but you can hardly fault the dubbers, eh? 3:40 is Aiko, and he did a really good job on his solo. He hits a lot of nice notes, has a good level of energy and sounds terrific. I don't think I can pull out parts that I like, cause I like it all. 3:55 onward is a bunch of group parts, all of which are fabulous. 4:25ish is Ryo's "shouganai yume oibito" ; I like his light vibrato on "to" ~ his solo turned out wonderfully.

The ending line is by Ry/Sh/Re, it's a nice finish, except the last few notes are iffy. This is an awesome group of guys and I totally enjoy listening to them, but their ending notes seem to be a point that needs work. The pitchiness is here and there throughout, but a lot of the last notes or words at the end of a line end up off key. Other than that and the fuzziness from mics, I think this turned out splendidly. It's nice to hear all guy groups, since there don't seem to be a lot of them. Thanks to Karlee & Kaarosu (AsunaSasaki) for sharing~

Hahahaha~

Tsuji Nozomi: Ayuna [AyunaDaisuki]
Kago Ai: Kanny [kannychan21]

Furimukanaide by AyuKan (or EPIC SMEX CUPCAKIES) / omg, I love this!! I'm totally new to the song, but it's quite cute and this duo sounds incredibly adorable singing it together. The beginning "YEAH"s are fantastic!! I love how well Ayuna and Kanny harmonize! And from what I can tell, Aibon usually has the harmonies so I'm guessing that Kanny has them in this? Whoever sings whatever, this pair is wonderful sounding.

I actually like the "ha ha ha~" parts of this song (despite them being repetitive, lol) they're a cute little extra something! They fall in the middle of words, like "furimukana hahahaha ide" ~ and these two pulled them off well; crazy kawaii too. I also like how the two parts play around each other, one girl singing first and the other following, at least on the verses.

I love how balanced W songs are! With the verses throughout the song these girls take turns, giving you a chance to hear both of them on the different parts- also individually as well as with one another. 0:28 is Ayuna (Kanny on the following "hahaha"s), uwah she's got such fabulous vocals, a nice clear sound! I really like her first "furimukanaide" - her 'furimu' is lovely and then she hits the 'ka' etc and her cuteness is like HELLO!

0:52ish is Kanny (Ayuna on the following "hahaha"s), she has a quieter sound that's sweet, but she doesn't really catch my attention here. I like other solo lines by her better. 0:40 & 1:04ish is where they sing together in the first verse; frittercakes, do I love it. This is such an awesome duo! They sound so so so good singing together! Deliciously addicting.

kfjnejkwfjef I love 1:17 and 1:55. The melody is super pretty and the girls are magnificent!! Raburabu. In the second verse the line division is a bit different. Instead of me trying to explain it, you can refer to the song lyrics. 1:30 & 2:08 is Ayuna, sounding just as terrific as the first time. And 1:36 & 2:15 is Kanny; I like these two solos from her more so than her previous one. idk why exactly, she's real cute overall. Both of these gals are!!

Inbetween the last solos we get to hear more splendid group parts, and the dub ends with another round of the awesome "YEAH"s. This turned out really really nicely, and I definitely enjoyed listening. Delightful! And on top of the kickbutt vocals, the slideshow of pictures (timed wonderfully) was fun to watch. So much cuteness~

Tachiagare!

Maji Bomber by Yamabuki (HanaProIndies) / OMG I LOVE THIS SONG. I am a huge fan of Berryz and loved this song from the moment I heard the preview for it. So of course I am excited to hear dubs of it coming out, most certainly the one by this group! So let's get right into it!! I adore all of the "Natsu jan"s & "wow wow"s and "wow yeah"s a ton! They are part of what makes this song so fun and this group of gals sound totally awesome & rockin' singing'em out!

Kappa kicks things of fabulously with great energy! Uwah! 0:25 is Kanna, wowza; I adore her voice and delivery, I like her "egakou" and "URU" a lot. Kiri at 0:31ish -omgilyraebee- she worked hard on this, singing and mixing wise, and asked me a few times if I'd listened to it or if I liked it, and now I can fully express my thoughts!! The full turn out of this dub is top-notch, outstanding and vibrant. I love Aoi's 0:35 solo!! Her growlish "Atsuku" is fierce & epic, and her fun vibratio on the ending "re" is so cool/cute/funky.

The beginning two lines of both verses, including the echoes, are catchy, fun and terrific! Like the "Asobi mo hyaku" & "Manabi mo hyaku" starting at 0:45. I am guessing they are sung by Ki/Kap, with the rest of the girls on the echoes, since that's what the PV makes it seem like. But I have no CClyrics, thus I'm not positive about anything. So I'll just say the group parts rock!! I'm digging the blending and how everyone sounds together, but that's no surprise when it's a cast like this. Raburabu.

0:50ish is Suiren, her solo isn't very long but it's super! I like how she sounds on "seiippai" a lot. I love her singing to pieces. Lol, just listening to this song makes me want to sing it. So good. Anyways!! 0:53 is Asagao, and she only sings for maybe a second, but it's a second packed with sweetness that punches your cute-button making you go D'AW. She's endearing. Another part in this song that I adore is all of the...okay, is it 'BONBAA' or 'BOMBAA' cause I've seen it in lyrics both ways. Whichever it is, I love'em in this!

Botan at 0:56ish! Gaaah, feels like it's been a while since I heard her, idk if it really has been. She makes such a great Maasa, I love her mature unique lovely lowerish voice oodles; makes my ears very happy. The little "soro soro" is awesome and the following group line is pure win! Well, all of them are really. "Jinsei choisu no renzoku" leads into the first chorus wonderfully!! 1:06 is Kanna, frick does she pwns her line again. Such energy!! And I love her little bit of attitude on "yatsu"

1:11 is Kappa! I like her "Iroiro" and "datsu" a lot. I'll admit that I like her more on other songs, but she's still as marvelous as ever. I've always admired her strength, the confindence that she sings with, her power and energy. LOL sorry, random thought. That cheer that goes, 'We've got spirit, yes we do. We've got spirit how 'bout you?' just jumped into my mind as I was thinking; Kappa's got heart. She does though! Anyways, I'm going from rambling to fangirling, so I'd better move on.

1:16- Aoi sure does pluck at my heartstrings and puts a smile on my face. She's got such an amazing, addicting, adorable, unique, fun and awesome vocals. Kiri at 1:21, I love her whole solo, but her ending "Tachiagare" is spectacular. More duets and echoes at 1:30, this time I believe it's Ao/Kan, with the rest of the cast on the echoes. In the previous verse Saki & Chi had the solos following the beginning duets, the only difference between verses is the order in which they sing. I'm glad that you get to hear the girls on at least two different melodies.

Suiren had the first solo and this time around Asagao has it (1:36), I like her "homerare" a lot, she sounds pretty. Suiren's following solo is spot on and peppy, her "deru" is my fave part of it. If most of y'all hadn't already guessed it, one of the reasons I dig this song so much is because Yurina actually has the same amount of solos as Risako! *shock* I get happy flutters everytime her face shows up on screen, so it can't be helped that I sort of love up on whoever is Yurina. But even when I'm only listening without visual, Kanna's singing (1:41) rocks my world!

Uwah, I love the "Aozora no kanata HOPPU STEPPU JANPU" group line at 1:46 ~ Yamabuki faitingu!! The chorus at 1:51 is the same as the beginning one, except that it's just mixed up as to which solo the four girls have. Kanna's "Miageru sora aoi umi" is deliciously killer. Kappa's "URU" is fierce! I adore Aoi's "Maji BONBAA" and Kiri's "Atsuku nare" is clear, kickbutt and beautiful in a rockin' sort of way. It sucks hardcore that Maasa (therefore Botan) only gets one solo, with my recent adoration of her it kind of makes me sad. ILY BOTAN! And keep in mind that the lovely Suiren & Asagao both contribute to all the group parts!!

I really like Aoi's "PEACE" at 2:46ish, followed by Kiri's "tachiagare" ~ BUT OMG the last chorus is probably the best!! Cause it's everyone all together!! Or er well, groups of them together. I think it's Su/As/Kap/Kan, and then Ao/Bo/Ki. I am loving it!!! The blending is so so so awesome! The last "Atsuku nare" just make me melt. WIN WIN WIN! I love this. YAY YAMABUKI!

FRIENDS

Cast (in order of solo):
Saya (animefreakXDD)
Wolfy (Wolfychanloli)

Tomodachi wa Tomodachi Nanda! / These two are easy to tell apart, so I'm not worried about getting confused as to who's singing when. Yay! Anyways~ If this is the Wolfychan I know of, then it's been a bajillion years since I last listened to her. And Saya Saya Saya is such a cutie! I'm always happy to listen to anything she's in. The moment I starting loading the dub I was already singing "Tomodachi wa..." etc, lol. Such a fun song. Butyeah, on to the dub!!

I know I've mentioned it probably at least three times now, but props to those who tackle this song. This is by no means the hardest H!P song to sing, but anything that's fast paced can be a tongue tripper. It's definitely doable, but I'm sure that practice comes into the mix somewhere, eh? This pair did a marvelous job overall!! So oodles of sparkles and stars for them~

In the drop-down, Saya mentions who she thinks they both fit the most and I have to agree. Saya's cuteness and sweet voice makes me think Chi/Momo & Wolfy's lovely sounding, more mature vocals make me think Rii/Miya. Not that it matters any who they sound like, it's just observation. And both girls take turns singing, making the solo division fair and causing them to sing as various girls. H!P mouths may be moving, but the splendid singing is all Saya & Wolfy.

The group parts are total win; chorus is excellent! I'm happy to hear this duo, mostly because I've never heard them together before, but also because they sound wonderful! It's hard for me to pick out the solos that I like the most, because I adore them all! but I'll try, lol. Saya's opening solo is adorable and a great start to the dub. I really like Wolfy at 0:56, especially "tsukushi na yo" ~ her 'yo' is lovely.

1:20, I've always liked this line, the lyrics and how they sound with the music. Saya's whole "Sou sono uchi ni WAIWAI to Minna de aeru darou" is darling and well sung!! Skipping ahead to 2:10, which I think is probably Wolfy's best solo (or it's at least one of them). She has great energy and her delivery is awesome! After the little instrumental break and such, it's Saya at 3:17 & 3:31- she sounds fantastic on both solos!

And Wolfy has the ending "Kono Nakama de aitai na" ~ her 'na' is faint cause the note is on the edge of her range, but she manages the solo well and sounds terrific! This song was a good choice, & overall this is a fabulous dub!! Thanks to Saya for sharing with me.

Do you love me x 2

"...a branch off of IKP (IroKokoroProject) that covers Korean Pop girl groups. 예쁜 ♦ Diamond will release two-three tracks every month from popular K-Pop girl groups like SNSD (Girls' Generation), Wondergirls, 4minute, After School and F(x)."

Golly, I've been putting this off. I'm listening to the MP3 of Abracadabra as I write; I've had it downloaded for a while now and it's totally awesome. But anyways!! I was really excited when I first heard about IKPOP, because even though H!P is wonderful, there are oodles of great Korean groups & songs. For their first single, they've listed their tracks as;

1. Abracadabra - Brown Eyed Girls
2. Magic Girl - Orange Caramel (After School)
3. Run Devil Run - Girls' Generation/SNSD

I'm not that excited about the SNSD song because it's been done a lot, but I am really really looking forward to Magic Girl!! But let's start things off with their first release;



Cast (Appearance):
Ga-in: Liana [superbestfureindozu]
Narsha: Ada [adelutzah03]
Jea: Kran [kran117]
Miryo: Beth [bibblebobble629]

Abracadabra by Yeppeun Diamond (IKPOPcovers) / Aha! I found some CClyrics online, cause I basically knew who was who after the first round of solos, but I didn't want to get confused. This is so smexy, impressive, hot, and epic; all BOOMBOOM body rockin' & mind blowing in a delicious way. And I'm not talking about the PV, I'm talking about the vocals. The dub itself. Frickin' amazing. These girls really brought it.

0:49 is the start of the sexalicious singing and it's Liana! I don't really know Liana on a personal level, but she is one spectacular singer and I couldn't be happier to hear her as a part of IKP. She sounds SO gooood, I love her attitude~ Ada follows and she's got this...cute -for lack of a better word- edge to her voice. Almost to as if to say; Oh yeah I can be dangerously smexy and cute at the same time. Well she does it, but it's just her pure talent and natural awesomeness. I like her "-go go"

1:04 & 1:11 is Kran, the first line in English and the second in Korean. It's not much to go off of, but she sounds awesome and I know we'll hear her more as the dub goes on. The "Do you love her" x2 is Beth (Amber), whom I adore; she sounds sensational. She is one of the singers that comes to mind for me whenever I think of IKP- she's also the leader of this group. Liana has the solo at the end of the pre-chorus; I love the way she says her last "Do you love me" ~ her emotion is fabulous.

This isn't my favorite song ever, and off the top of my head I can think of at least one Brown Eyed Girls song I like more, but the chorus in this is really catchy. I can't help but like the melody, and completely love the way this group of gals sound on it. D'aw, it looks like Kran's part (Jea) doesn't have lines except for during the pre-chorus and chorus, and they're always the same melody. Well then I shall fully enjoy what I do hear from her! Such as 1:19, 1:27, and her "neol naega naega gatgesseo" at 1:32.

Backtracking to a parts inbetween said solos though, I LOVE Ada at 1:23. Taka said in the drop-down, "I sense the autotune comments coming soon and FYI I barely used any autotune but I did use LOADS of effects." yeah well here's a comment for her; it's awesome!! I think this dub has the perfect amount of effects, it all sounds amazing and she did a spectacular job mixing it all together. Ada's kickbutt singing + the effects is orgasmic.

1:34ish to about 2:18ish is basically the same as the first part of the song. Most of the solos are sung by the same girl, and while they're all awesome, I'd just be repeating my words of praise if I were to go through them all again. Though I forgot to mention that I also like Kran's "fantasy yeah" ~ 2:19 is Beth!! She is such a brilliant rapper, ohmygawd. Such fierce delivery. And the hotness doesn't stop with her, Liana's part at 2:34 is so cool+sexy+gorgeous. I love her "abracadabra da irwojyeora"

Then after more from Beth at 2:49ish, there's another round of the chorus, before one last repeat of the verse-melody part. I think my favorite part of this dub is the chorus (which Kran has a lot of) though it's a touch call. The verses are super catchy, smooth and smexy; I like them more than the pre-chorus. Beth's rap and Liana's "abracadabra" etc rank highly, but my favorite solo(s) has got to be Ada's in the chorus.

This is SMASHING. I love it to bits. It's highly addicting to listen to. And it's an AMAZING debut for 예쁜 ♦ Diamond and IKPOP. As I said before, I'm eagerly awaiting Magic Girl!! LOL one last bit from Taka, "We do NOT own this sexual content-filled, weird-outfitted, sexy dance stepped video. Also, I'd like to welcome Liana and Kran to IKP! You guys are INSANELY talented and we are all happy to have you!"

Kiss x3

I've been such a fail blogger lately. I'm just too tired or busy. But after tomorrow I have two days off!! Thanks for sticking with me y'all. I will get to everything eventually. At the moment I'm just hot and sleepy, a bad combination. But I'll try and get some stuff done. My focus right now is requests, in the order that I recieved them (or as close as I can get)~



Tsugunaga Momoko: Mai (dblingchiu)
Natsuyaki Miyabi: Lizzie (Liz9419)
Suzuki Airi: Belly (Rasubelly)

Kiss! Kiss! Kiss! by Bûmu (Yoku Project) / Getting right into things; Bellychan! it's been a while since I heard her, or it feels like it at least. She starts things off wonderfully, and that's just the beginning; she sounds awesome throughout the dub! Liz, ohmy she's really improved. She was never bad, but she's gotten better- like, her lines are more flowly with less iffy notes, great energy and a fab delivery. Then there is the cutecute Mai, I adore the melody of the pre-chorus and she's darling on it.

This song is cute but kind of blah for a dub choice. The chorus is high and if the notes aren't in your range (*raises hand*) there is sometimes straining or pitchiness. And I don't only mean this particular dub, because I've heard this song dubbed quite a bit and the chorus turns out iffy a lot of the time. Also, when you strain your voice to hit the notes, it often makes it sound like there is a lack of energy or volume. Plus I think the melody of the chorus is easy to be pitchy on.

The girls did a nice job on the chorus overall, a little strain by all of them at some point, but the group parts are nice. lol, y'all don't want to even hear me trying to sing this, unless I brought it way down so I could sing it without sounding pathetic. Anyways! This trio of adorable gals sound fantastic on their solos in the verses & pre-chorus. And I've always really like the "A.i.shi.te.ru / Da.ki.shi.me.te" parts and they're terrific in this! My fave parts are the verses, but the overall sound of this dub is really nice.

*snipsnip*

Love Happy Wahahaha

Bonkyu Bonkyu BOMB Girl! [1/23] by KoibitoKoeProject / CClyrics / This song has been pretty popular lately, maybe because it's a good concert song. On to the dub!! I adore the beginning "Woo! Yeah!" ~ The overall sound of the "BON KYU!"s etc is marvelous! Uwah, Arashi's speaking part at 0:56 is awesome!! Kiri and Hinata have the first two solos, and both of them are sweet sounding gals.

As said in the beginning of this entry, Koibito is mostly for concert fun and lets people sing as whoever. Hinata is a great example, as she is very cute but not exactly Risa-like. Regardless of who she sings as, her singing is delightful. I really like Kaminari's "YEAH" at 1:10 & her following solo is fabulous; her "de" is especially peppy+adorable. 1:13ish is Arashi, she has a very lovely voice and delivers well. I like her "YEAH" at 1:19 too.

The "LOVE...ME DO" part is by Hi/Ki/Ko/Yu and I'm loving it!! They also has the line at 1:33, which sounds great! The 1:28 "Muzukashii..." etc line is Ar/Am/Ka/In, and they all sound terrific. 1:40 is Yuki; she's a cutie! The "HAPPY...has come!" by Hinata is darling & fun, and I'm digging Ame's following solo a lot! Kiri is totally kawaii at 2:16, and then it's more splendid group parts; like the "For you" which is awesome throughout the dub. Overall this is wonderful.



Dschinghis Khan [2/23] / For some reason I can only hear this dub in one side of my headphones *plays around a bit* Okay I think it might be something on my end being dumb. But I wasn't planning on fully writing about this anyways. Just sharing the second part with y'all since it's up. Some comments from the mixer;

"Some girls were really off-tone...And some really sounded flat and without energy. Since it's a live one, it needed tons of energy...Some girls are really hard to blend with the others...But I tried my best, desu." I agree, but aside from that, this turned out nicely. I don't like this song much, personally, lol. Never have. The "wahahaha"s scare me a little. But I think when it comes to projects, I think you should try and give their new stuff a listen ; the good and the not so good. I await more concert fun from this group~

SnM

AHA! SMART ATTACK! Well, not really. I'm behind on everything, but I figured I'd check up on SnM and see what they've been up to, and let me tell you; a lot!! So I want to cover some of their stuff before I'm way way behind with them as well. Here we gooo!

ValeriA’s 11th release brings together a wide range of genres and languages to create a beautifully otherworldly feel. From the Celtic inspired Anataboshi to the Chinese ballad Tears from Polaris, ValeriA shows once again how versatile they can be. Released May 31st, 2010.

This was released around the same time BOYSTYLE!'s latest album was, and I've already blogged about. I downloaded this full album at the time as well and have heard all the songs on it a number of times, but I haven't gotten around to it until now. In this whole entry I'm going to be brief, unless it's something that has really struck my fancy. Because there is a lot of new stuff and I'd rather write a little and let y'all get a bit of info on them all!

01 - Sweet Dreams are Made of This
02 - Anataboshi
03 - Mayonaka no Shadow Boy
04 - Children of the Night (lilmenchi solo)
05 - Tears from Polaris
06 - Hoshi wo Mezashite (English ver.)

*All download links provided in thread~

(covers by Aqua)

The first track is currently unavailable, due to reasons explained in the official thread for this release. Now on to the tracks! As I mentioned, I'm not going to do into detail on them all, just sort of blab about the album and what I like.

For starts, I'll go ahead and say it; Mayonaka (03) was a slight disappointment. For some reason it's mixed really quietly and I think that took away from it's overall sound. The girls are marvelous, but it's not my fave. Hoshi wo Mezashite (06) is quite pitchy (mainly in the beginning, then a little here and there the rest of the song), but I really like the chorus!! It's wonderful.

Now! For favorites (of the group songs), I'm a bit torn between the 2nd and 5th track, but I think I'm going to go ahead and say that Tears from Polaris (05) is my fave. First off; it's Mandarin which I love the sound of, ohemgee. It's also a song I'm unfamiliar with; the melody is very pretty. And lastly; the vocals are gorgeous! Those three things won me over instantly. I definitely recommend it. Best track IMO.

Anataboshi (02) is such an upbeat song that makes you want to dance, but what really made me like this is the awesome singing, blending and overall sound!! This group of gals are fantastic together! The energy is at a good level for the most part, and there is a great mix of voices- adorable, cute and lovely! All parts of the dub are fabulous, but I think I like the chorus the most.

And lastly, the 4th track is a solo by lilmenchi; Children of the Night (04). She hits a lot of lovely notes, has terrific energy and a nice delivery. You can tell she gets into it, which always makes listening more enjoyable and puts a smile on my face. She did a really nice job! This album was mixed by her, Miri, Elsa and Kristy; so props to all of them. And to all of the ValeriA ladies!

(covers by Zelina!)

From here on out, these are albums that have only been released in the SnM forums, and not yet put up on their official site. Shugo Chara!

CClyrics.

01 - Kokoro no Tamago
02 - Minna Daisuki
03 - Honto no Jibun
04 - Renai ♥ Rider
05 - Gachinko de Ikou

*All download links provided in thread~

I'll admit that I haven't downloaded anything other than the 2nd and 4th tracks. Minna because I adore the song. And R♥R because I read really good feedback on it & Buggy mixed it. It's just that I've heard the other songs on this album a lot, Buono is popular -x wx- So I wasn't up to hearing any of the other songs again right now.

I suggest you don't follow in my tracks; download everything! lol. I'll get around to the rest of the tracks later. As for the two I did download ~ Minna Daisuki (02) turned out nicely, very kawaii actually! The girls sound darling! I agree with what Miri said in her comment, "Mixing for the most part was pretty good; everything was timed really well. Lots of energy at certain parts, but others were a bit laggy as well." But overall it's sweet.

And Renai ♥ Rider (04) is sensational! I know I've mentioned before that I like the chorus of this song the most, but the other parts are still good (Chorus > pre-chorus > verses). Buggy did a superb job mixing this, and the girls who participated are charming & sound fabulous.


Aw shucks, there is a lot more I want to blog about, but it's heading towards 3am so I'd better sign off for the night. At least I can keep downloading SnM releases and listen to'em until I blog about them again!! And y'all should totally check out Sekai no Melody, they release some amazing dubs~

Yeah, this is how we do it! [SB Request]

One week ago BANGProDubs bulletined "New account!!!" which leads me to think that there was a different YT account prior to this? Not much information is provided, but you can tell that English is not the first language for the majority of it's members; thus, the small description is listed in two languages (English & Spanish, I think?) on the channel-

"We are a group of girls, BANG (Beautiful Angels Normal Girls) who love to sing in japanese and korean." Also, if you click on the link provided as their website, Avexland forums is all non-English as well. I wish I could find out more info off of it, but since I can't, perhaps I'll just ask'em sometime in the near future.

The current member count listed on their profile totals at 12, and there's also 5 eggs. Only one dub has been released, though I don't know what BANG's release history (prior to this account) is like. Until I get more info, I'll just go ahead and jump right into their first dub;



Anari [TeppeichanWaT]
Ayuchi [AyuchiTatsu]
Miyo [Miyoxan]
Miko [MikoKumi]
Nari [Narivox]
Meychun [meyxyesungie]

nu ABO / CClyrics / This is so sexy incredible, hardcore epicness. The overall sound is intensely ear pleasing and I couldn't help but groove along in my chair as I listened. I've already played through this a dozen times or so and I don't even like this song very much; addicting, this is! I totally gave it a thumbs up and if there was a dl link, the MP3 for this would be on my computer by now.

Ayuchi's opening "Hey~" is so gooood, ohmygosh. 0:11 is Miyo, and I adore her "unni"s, they have just the right amount of cuteness. And then her second & last lines are so...urgwah! so soild and well deliver, like her "deuleobwa" ~ 0:21 is Ayuchi, I really like the cuteness of her higher note on "jungmal yeobbeo" as well, and her "geureodamyun dwae" right after is smexy. Frick!; all of the girls have strong vocals, good energy/emotion, and sing it like their pros.

Miko (0:32) has a lovely mature sound that's delicious and Meychun (0:37) is kawaii with attitude. "Mystery mystery" ~ chorus at 0:42 and it's killer. I'm loving the way this group of gals sound together! Ohmy, one of my favorite parts of this dub are the "Na na na na"s LOL yes. They aren't even lyrics or anything, but they are PERFECT. I'm wowed by how awesome and like-the-real-thing they sound.

1:11 is Nari, geesh she's got such passion too, her solo is fabulous! Dubs like this are addicting to listen to because it's fun to hear people get so into singing. Following Nari is Miko (1:24) and Meychun (1:32ish), both rockin' their solos once more. From 1:43 to 2:12 is more kickbutt chorus & "na na na na"s. And then it's a different melody that I don't care for much really, idk. Mi, Ay and An (in that order, starting at 2:13) all sound excellent, but this part of the song doesn't ring my bell.

I love Anari at 2:40!! Her "Yes, this is how we do it our love f(x)!" (etc) lines are pure win. This dub just screams WE ARE THE SHIZNIZ, with all the sexiness and epic attitude. I like Nari's 2:53 solo, especially her "eoddeokhae" ~ Ayuchi's following solo is...interesting, lol. Very energetic and fun along with a bit of funkiness. The rest of the dub is all chorus & "na"s. I love Nari at 3:36 and Anari at 3:41. I super enjoyed listening to this!! Nice fresh start for BANG~

MI [Shoutbox request]

I know nada about this group. Malice asked me to look at it, so I am. And there isn't much info to be found about MI either. There forum has no 'About' thread, and all their channel tells us is, "How it works : Girls nominate songs, pick songs, then volunteer for chosen songs. EVERYONE GETS A SAY!"

MI's been around since about mid-February of this year (first release 02/26), and since then have released a total of 20 dubs. Their groups are; Synth★Shimai (Vocaloid), I★DOLL (Jpop), Chiisai★Otaku (Anime), D:aisuki (Games), Saisei★Jikan (Children's Music), and ★AkibaChan★ (Youtube"/"NiconicoDouga hits). Their latest release;



CAST in order of solos:
Me-chan (3rd Gen)
Nozo (2nd Gen)
Boss (1stGen)
Kiro (1stGen)

IKUZE!! Kaitou shoujo! by AKIBAChan / I am forever ruined (in a good way) when it comes to this song, for IKP's version will always come to mind when I think of it or Momoiro. So I'm not going to write about this in detail because my opinion is probably kind of skewed and I'll be trying not to compare. Overall, some minor things could be better, but this is nice.

~Glancing back through MI's dubs I found this;



Asu-nyan
Boss-Chama
Hikari

Over The Future by Chiisai★Otaku / CClyrics / Frick do I love this song!! I have a weakness for Karen Girl's...I've searched down like, every song they've ever sung, digging for MP3s. My favorites from them are this song, My Wings and, er...another song I can't remember the name of, lol. But sadly, they've only ever had two PVs and then were no more ;w; SO YEAH I don't think I've ever heard a fandub of their stuff and I was instantly excited to see that MI had done this!

Ohgee, you know how as you listen to something, you often start to like it more? I've listened to this several times now, and have also done some jumping around and I like it more now than when I first heard it. The energy level is actually pretty good. At first I was thinking; MOA. But it's at a nice level, though somewhat subtle at times. A little bit more umph! would be cool overall.

These three hit some very nice notes togethers! Like at 0:09 in the very beginning line, the "KANJI" by Bo/Hi is wonderful and has nice blending. & though they're kind of quiet singers (more so Hikari and Asu than Boss), the girls are very sweet+cute sounding. With the way this is scripted (refer to lyrics), it's mainly all duets with a handful of solos and the chorus sung by all. It's setup so each girl has three solos; yay for fairness!

Boss is the strongest singer of the group. She has a lovely voice and her solos are marvelous. I adore her at 0:35 and 2:04, and I really like her "Yes Change the World" solo at 0:54. Asu hits her lower notes (0:41 and 1:58 solos) quite well. It seems like you don't hear her a lot, but it's probably cause two of her solos are kind of short. She has a more mature voice better suited to middle/low notes, as you can hear some slight strain on her 3:38 solo, she's also pitchy too. But! Her ending "you" turned out splendidly.

I don't know how to describe Hikari's singing, but she sounds nice, like on her 0:48 solo. She's got a cute voice with this underlying matureness? At 2:11, her "don't" is a little off, but her "way" turned out swell. I think my fave from her is 1:51 though, she sounds real good. The verses are cool and all, but I like the pre-chorus and chorus the most. The groups parts are wonderful, and I'm mainly happy that this was dubbed at all!!



MiniMoni Hinamatsuri
Superkagome, Ayumi--x, Asuka & Boss

Seishun Love Lunch!
Nozo Ai, Hikari, Asuka & Boss

Mr Moonlight
Stella, Kiro & Boss

Spring Shuffle 2010 / I really enjoyed this, but it would probably take me forever to write about this, cause it's almost 11 minutes long. It's the full versions of all three songs, so the length makes sense, but I spent a while on Over the Future (lol) and I need to be moving on. But I definitely recommend y'all give this a listen! I think the MiniMoni dub/cast is my favorite; I think it turned out the best. But Seishun and Mister are good too!
