BTW [P1]

Thanks for the comment Purply ;w; And thanks to everyone who supports me! I know I'm not the quickest sometimes *curses work* but I love this blog. Today is already half over, and the camp-out is finally fully done so I'm not busy with that anymore! I'm going to jump right into things so I can attempt to get done as much as I can!!

Lol, BTW actually on a Saturday; GO ME! That's two weekends in a row, which seems a silly thing to be happy about, but I like when stuff works out how I originally plan. Again, this time I am just going off my subs list. If I start trying to backtrack further than what's on it, I'll take too long. So without further rambling, here we go~



Jonghyun: Joanna [funkystar25]
Min Ho: Britt [TwistandSh0ut]
Key: Cherry [cherrysakura16]
Tae min: Charles [Charlesdavid]
Onew: Nixira [shanixira]

*KCJEntertainment ~ Jo Jo by KCJE Collabs / Thank goodness for this website. The writer color codes songs by a lot of Korean groups- I used this site for when I wrote about XOXO's Star Star Star dub. When I started listening to this magnifcent dub, I was sad cause I had no idea who was singing when, because I don't know my SHINee guys. But now with the lyrics, I can figure it out!! Anyways~

The girls have gorgeous voices, and all of these singers sound freaking amazing!! Joanna's "My Heart" + vocalizing at 0:09 and her solo at 0:16 are impressive! I love Cherry, Nixira and Charles on the verses- they're brilliant. Charles is the only guy in the bunch and he's fantastic!! Britt's part at 1:18 is excellent, she also sings the "Hey...Love...Stay"s at the end of the chorus.

And speaking of- the chorus is fiercely awesome!! I really like this song, especially the chorus and these KCJE singers sang it smashingly!! I'm in love with this dub. The group as a whole hits so so so many good notes- in their solos as well as on group lines. Every second of this is superb.

*Hoshi Project ~ ALL FOR ONE & ONE FOR ALL! / "Hello! Ushi here. For those of you who don't know I was given leadership of HoshiDubs, and this dub was done as a farewell to our original producer, Hoshi-chan! " ~ How sweet! ;w; As many project members as possible particapated and the end result is really pretty.

I like this song a lot, the meaning behind it. It's such a great group song! I have to download this. I'm really proud of Hoshi, and that's just as an outsider, a listener, a fan. Thanks for providing the mp3, it's so worth having. I know I've been being all mushy lately, but when a dub really touches me, I can't help it. I love this.



Cast: (In order of Solo hearance)
Angel, Yuki, Andry

*AtarashiHappyCharm ~ Onna ga Medatte Naze Ikenai by Mirakuru Musume / I love it when projects stray from the original scripting of a song! We all know that the distribution isn't always super fair, and plus it's fun to mix things up. This song was dubbed with only three people, and I think they did a fabulous job! I get confused about who is singing when without lyrics to follow, but these ladies sound very very lovely!

I am loving someone's vibrato, and all of them sing with a good amount of energy. They're marvelous on all parts of the song; the solos + smaller group parts in the verses & pre-chorus, and the group lines + solos in the chorus. I love the "onna ga medatte naze IKENAI" and the "massugu ___ My ___" lines! Overall, this is wonderful~



Mitsui Aika: Chelsea
Nakajima Saki: Michiyo
Kumai Yurina: Kate
Sugaya Risako: Yuki

*MorningFanProject ~ School Days by Cutie 4 / This is so cute! There are some things that could be better, but the girls sound adorable! All of them have great voices, and I'd like to hear them a bit louder & clearer. I know the fuzzy muffled quality is probably due in part to a mic, making it sometimes hard to hear the girls well enough over the music and fuzziness combined.

But it in no way takes away from the loveliness of these gals- I love their singing! This song isn't exactly bursting with upbeatness; it's easy-going and nice & I think the girls sing it with a good amount of energy on their solos and also as a group. They sound marvelous altogether, though the chorus in this isn't my favorite; I prefer them on the verses. Overall, the quality could be better, but the singing is swell.



Ash [ diabolicbread ] *
Fuyumi [ sailorkona ]
Jess [ lilmenchi ]
Molly [ mollyxface ]
Yuns [ yuns217 ]

*KiramekiDubs ~ Onna ni Sachi Are by Gesshoku / CClyrics / DEBUT! Congrats on this group releasing track one of their first single! I sort of knew this was coming, from when I talked to Chiyo about Kirameki; and here it is! Or I should say; here they are- the dazzling gals who make up Gesshoku, and the ones that sang this song for us! Ash took on Rosetta's part in this, and is one of the project's helping-hands.

Jess, Yuns and Ash are all terrifically splendid & Fuyumi and Molly sound really pretty. I totally dig the solos in the verses, but the real win for me is the various duets and trios!! I like the pre-choruses a lot because of them -the blending is delightful- and the chorus is awesome!!

Gesshoku's second track is listed as 'Namida no Iro' and since they do their own scripting, I am really looking forward to it! And just for kicks, Kirameki Shuffles recently released Love Like Candy Floss, so check that out y'all. I'm glad to see that this project is still alive and kickin' cause I like them a lot. If you do too, you should subscribe!

Misc [Project stuff + auds]

I've noticed a few projects made short videos about their latest going-ons, so I wanted to share them with y'all. And I was excited to see Hoshi's Dubbing History! Totally going to listen to that! I'm also going to add in some auditions videos~

H☆P

What a sweet banner! I don't like Seishun Collection or the outfits in it, but blue and green are two of my favorite colors and whoever made the banner has skillz. BUT OMG. My dear Hoshi! It's been more than a month+ since I wrote anything on them, and I feel bad for my neglect.

So since I was H's last time, I knew right away that I had to give Hoshi their own entry. Given, I have written about them more than many other projects- but a lot of it is because there have been quite a steady popping up of new projects over the past few months while I've been listening to Hoshi since April. Anyways!!

I don't know if I ever actually did one of my little opening entries on Hoshi. Where I share information on the project I'm writing about for the first time. H☆P currently has three generations and two soloists, totally 40 members in all!! (their 3rd Gen is huge). Annnd...



"Hello everyone, Ushi here. In case some of you didn't know, leadership of this project has been handed down to me, so I am the new leader. . .HoshiDubs is opening up it's generation 4 auditions! . . .

The groups that auditions are open for are Taiyou, Shuensha, Kyohaku and °S-uta. We will only be accepting 1-2 people to each group, so you might as well audition for more than one because you may not get into the one you want.


If you didn't know, Shuensha covers Morning Musume, Kyohaku covers Berryz Koubou, °S-uta covers °C-ute, and Taiyou is a group that covers just about anything it wants. It can cover W, Mini Moni, High King, even Berryz Koubou, Morning Musume and °C-ute. . .


There will be two rounds of auditions. The first round is based mainly on your personality. We want to know how you'll fit into our lil' community, and we'll get an idea based on how you fill out your forum that is below in the description box. Round 1 ends September 30th."


All the info you need is in the drop-down section, and if there is something extra you'd like to know simply contact Ushi (MomoxMochi). Don't miss out on your chance to be apart of Hoshi!


HoshiDubs 2010 Natsu Raibu



Natsuyaki Miyabi: Nana [Aznfiregirl]
Suzuki Airi: Karu [LovablexKarupin]
Saho Akari: Karri [LittleKarri]

In early June H☆P began their very first concert!! If I counted right, it's 17 tracks in length. Above is the first track- First Kiss by Taiyou. And it's really really good! I think I am going to download it right now in fact. Hoshi Project deserves to be listened to. They are a fantastic group of singers and I'm tsk tsk ing myself for not paying them more attention lately. They deservse every one of their 180 subscribers, and I wish them luck in getting to 200!



The concert lasted over a month, coming to a close on June 30th with Go Girl! Koi No Victory by the whole project! And it's another spectacular dub!! I love hearing everyone altogether! The energy and blending is really awesome! When I find the time I'll try and get through their whole concert, even if it's just to have a quick listen. Y'all can check out H☆P's channel for the full concert.


And last but not least...
Enjoy H☆P's cute recent release~

Shoutbox Requests [Solos]

Thank you so much to everyone who wished me well! ;w; It makes me feel really special. ILY'ALL and missed you bunches and lots. So on behalf of my shoutboxers I decided to start with some shoutbox requests! I tried pinpointing the last link I followed and think I got it right.

But if you asked once already and I haven't gotten to your request and it's been a while, it's probably because I accidentally missed you. Feel free to ask again! Solos now, and I might end up waiting until tomorrow for the rest. Because it's already pretty late (3am).



Tsubasa Wo Kudasai by MollyxFace / I bet the people who hate on Becki Cruel secretly fan over her madly and listen to her songs all the time or something. I've never paid the Cruel girls much attention but I do like a few of their songs; including this one. Molly Molly Molly.

There was this girl on my volleyball team in high school named Molly, and one day we made up a rap song thing about her name. I don't remember it all, something like "M to the olly. Molly! M to the olly. Molly!....something something stuff. Molly's our girl." Yeah it was years ago, but it sprang to mind. This Molly is a magnificent singer and I think she did a great job on this song!

She sounds so adorable+pretty! She's really good on the verses, I like how she makes the words flow more (better than Becki I think), but I totally love her on the chorus! Hearing her sing it makes me feel bubbly happy and smiley. I like the melody a lot and Molly is delightful on it. I especially like her 2:26 line. Overall; awesome awesome awesome! Totally downloading.



Maji Bomber by adelutzah03 / Ohmygosh. Ada's singing + this song?!? gejkwngfjkew. Dream come true. Or magic. Something awesome and dazzling and wonderful. With some rockin'ness too. Cause this is so cool and fabulous. I'm happy that she shares her dubs with me, because I love'em!

Her Kimagure Princess is second from the top on my most recently previous (if that makes sense) playlist. Cause it's amazing. I really like her on the mood of that song, all sexy. But she totally rocks out on Maji! She's versatile and a fantastic singer! Many of you know how much I love Berryz and how excited I was for this song to come out. And I'm sure it's the same for other people as it is for me; you can't help but really really love good dubs of songs that you adore.

Two lines into this dub and I was grinning like a fool. I love Ada's attitude! She's so fun and has loads of energy. Her every line is delivered so well! She's sounds lovely+cute and packs a punch. She mentioned the "higher notes in the choruses are a pain in the arse" and while that may be true, she tackled them! I truly adore this to pieces.



Boogie Train by Suzume aka Malice [MaliciousDevice] of HoshiDubs / I don't think I've ever listened to this song fully, and I've never watched the PV. Malice seems to think this song kicked her ass. I do not agree. When she hits that first high note only seven seconds or so into the song I laughed but in a good way. I got the feeling then that this is one of those funky funny H!P songs, and I think Malice pulled it off well!

It needs lots of gusto and you've just got to let go and be crazy. Malice completely rocked, rolled and dominated this song. "miki fujimoto would turn in her grave... if.. she was actually dead" OH WHATEVER GIRL. So not true. I love the energy and umph that she sung this with, it's killer and makes it that much more of an entertaining and spectacular listen.

I love Malice's mature and super lovely voice. She's a strong singer and it shows in this. Malicechan- just in case you are like my Michibabe (and are actually reading this, lol) I shall repeat myself. You rocked, rolled and dominated. Believe me. I had an extremely good time listening to this, one of the liveliest solos I've heard lately. Full out pwn.



Oh! by Liz9419 / This is Liz's first Korean dub! Mega props from me to anyone who takes the time to learn Korean or Mandarin. I'm sure once you learn the basics it's not so hard; I can figure out most Mandarin myself, but I've never really given Korean a go.

D'AW Liz is so cute on the verse! Not kawaii cute, but like...lovely+cute. If that makes sense, lol. The chorus in this is swell too (and the "oppa oppa I'll be I'll be down down down down" parts), but I really liked the verse. I couldn't stop scrunching my face up with smiles as I listened.

The pre-chorus is marvelous as well, and I also like her "hya" cheer shout thing at 0:33. I know I've mentioned before that I love how Liz throws herself into what she sings, going all out. I think she has a nice energy level in this and showed off her cute side. I can't comment on her pronunciation, but overall she sounds fabulous!

HoshiDubs



Takahashi Ai: Momo [MomoxMochi]
Niigaki Risa: Karu [LovablexKarupin]
Michishige Sayumi: Naoka [BanryuSaint]
Kamei Eri: Yun [Yuns217]
Tanaka Reina: Mari [Marianahime]
Kusumi Koharu: Rii [AzNxRawRx]
Mitsui Aika: Saya [AnimefreakXDD]
JunJun: Miya [Miyazuchan]
LinLin: Bree [Breecuppycake]

The Manpower by Shuensha / I'm not a huge fan of this song, but it's kind of cool. I adore Karu's speaking part!! She is so kawaii! lol, whenever I think of her I can't help but remember her Sexy Boy dub, it was so epic and adorable. Momo has the Ai parts in the beginning, she has nice power and sings with good energy, but is pitchy throughout the dub. 0:51 is Rii, I think. Her "saa" is cut off, but what you do hear is great! If I'd had CClyrics, this would have been easier to figure out.

All of the "MANPAWAA..." parts sound awesome! They are the only full group parts in the whole dub, which I find kind of funny. They're part of the reason that this song isn't high on my list; the repetitiveness starts to annoy me after a while. OMG Karu's growl at 0:45 is awesome!! So strong and sexy! And I also love her second "monogottsui" at around 0:57 - holycrap, such UMPH!

Other than Karu and Momo, Mari (1:08, 3:00), Yun (1:14, 3:14), Saya (2:09), and Naoko (2:48) each have 1-2 solos; they all did a wonderful job! Since this is casted I'm not surprised that Miya and Bree didn't get any. However!! These girls and everyone else all took part in the various duets and trios; which is my favorite thing about this dub! The blending is lovely for the most part, there are some iffy or off notes here and there, but overall this is fun to listen to.




Umeda Erika: Belly [Rasubelly]
Yajima Maimi: Nikki [NicNac4eva]
Nakajima Saki: Mystery [xLittleMystery]
Suzuki Airi: Chinatsu [FandubzRmylife]
Okai Chisato: Nozomi [Nozomi25]
Hagiwara Mai: Ami [Amiswami2]

Namida no Iro by °S-uta /Ohmygosh, I love the crowd in this one! And C-ute's outfits, lolaw. As for the dub itself; the beginning "goujou" is fabulous, as are all of those short little parts. As we all know, this is a Maimi and Airi dominated song, so props to Belly, Mystery, Nozomi and Ami for their parts in this dub! It wouldn't be the same without them!

Nikki and Chinatsu are marvelous on their solos. I really like Nikki's voice, it's sort of.... husky? whatever it is, it's nice. And Chi sounds pretty, she nailed her solo at 2:18 - though both of them could use a little bit more umph! Actually everyone was low on energy sometimes, though I can hear good emotion in many of the group parts.

Now and then there is some staticy sounds, perhaps from mics topping out? - like 0:52 - and also the overall volume is a often on the loud side. But everyone sounds swell when singing together, the pronunciation seems great (though I didn't listen for it hardcore or anything), and everything's on beat. 1:56 is really nice, probably my favorite part of the dub.




ZUTTO SUKI DE II DESU KA
by Lena / Wow!! I really like this, Lena has such a beautiful voice. Her notes are so pretty (*o*) She delivers so well and sings with good emotion. She sounds terrific on the beginning chorus, I like her "kekkyoku" and I love how she sounds on the 'omoi' in "kataomoi" ~ this part occurs more than once too *raburabu*

On a few high notes there is a tiny bit of strain, but for the most part she did awesomely on them! She sounds just as wonderful on the verses as she does on the chorus itself. I think this is a great song choice; her voice suits it well, it's in her range and she sounds fantastic on the lovely melodies in it. Very nice job! Lena is graduating HoshiDubs and I know she'll be missed.

THE SAYONARA NO HOUKAGO

(YOU GET THE TITTLE ? GOOD) *POOF* THE MAGICAL CHIYO HAS RETURNED. I actually have exams at the moment but IMO, who cares. This is good for my English sooo~



THE Bigaku by Nozo / I swear I’ve seen the name NozomiAi somewhere before… but I have NO IDEA where. I’m dumb like that so shh~ On to the dub! Aww! Nozo has a really soft voice, yet good to hear! But the vocals should have been mixed in a little more quiet, and sometimes the timing is slightly off. Nozo also has a few lyrics flubs, but those can be easily fixed with more practice!~

At 0:24 her "mittomonai" sounds really good! I don’t know, but those small details sound really good! I watch those details too much at times~ I also liked her "otoko" at 0:30. Well, what can I say? I like the small parts xD I’ve sung this song before too, so I know which parts need more energy and such & 0:58 is one of the parts where you have to SCREAM IT OUT. So to say it Aya’s way, she needed a little more umph!

Her "koisuru"s throughout the whole song sound wonderful!~ Her energy level is right about where it should be for this song, but it's actually the loudness of her voice is mixed in + her bad microphone that makes it less... good ? 1:32 -- I NEVER KNEW WHAT AYAYA ALWAYS SAID AT THAT PART. AND NOW I DO, YAY. (Hey com'on baby baby, you're soo ahh--) YATTA!~

I loved her OI!'s! They were soo energetic! Her "motto--!" should've had more umph, but I wanna blame it the mic so ;3 I loved how Nozo held her note at 2:00! It was soo pretty!~ And she ends her solo (2:30) with SUCH A CUTE "WAOH!" I wanna thank Nozo! Thanks to her, I will be singing this in SakuranboDubs' solo event. Sankyuuu!~




Sayonara no LOVE SONG by Ila [ILA1080] / AWWWWW DAMN THIS BRINGS BACK SOOO MANY MEMORIES. 1st, this was one of the first solos I saw of Airinko ;3; it actually made me cry~ 2nd, ILA! I used to be in a project with her where she sung Megumi and I sung Maimi. It's been quite a while since then, and I haven't catched up with her/listened to her, so I'm very excited!

WOW. THE FIRST NOTE IS SPOT ON ALL THE WAY. It sounds like she's still using the same mic though LOL. But I remember her voice "scratching" quite a bit, and her being out of breath. BUT NOW... WOW. She does have something Airi-like in her first line especially.

I LOVE the feeling she puts into her singing. I love her "kansha shite imasu" @ 1:10 and actually all the lines that follow~ TO THE CHORUS. You can really hear the feeling throughout the whole chorus--- ahh, so nice ;3; Her "LOVE SONG" at 1:40 sounds beautiful!

There is a little lyric flub @ 2:16. But WE WILL PRETEND WE HAVEN'T HEARD THAT. WHAT LYRIC FLUB? THERE WAS A LYRIC FLUB? WHAT'S A LYRIC FLUB? ^o^ Her "dea" (2:21) sounds soo pretty! I remember she used to didn't go high with her voice because it would crack, but she sounds awesome now! AWESOME HIGH NOTE (2:47) AND HER CUTENESS TAKES OVER!~




Namida ga Tomaranai Houkago by Karri (YokuProject) / YA'KNOW, when I got to choose which songs / dubs I would review, I picked random ones...I HAD NO IDEA THIS WAS SUNG BY KARRI. GOD LOL. She's in the same pro as me ~ (Referring to EienTeam)

AH WELL...Mixing wise, I think Karri's voice should be lowered down a bit. But it's ok~ I also think reverb would be better!~ AWW!~ SHE SOUNDS SOO CUTE YET MATURE AT THE SAME TIME. And she has a little vibrato, which sounds awesome on this song. I loves how she goes high with her voice @ 0:28. SHE SOUNDS SOOO DAAAAAMNNN PRETTTY. Sorry people, that's how I will continue reviewing xD

Starting from 0:40, it really sounds like Karri is using her cuteness factor, I must say it does work xD. 0:58-1:18 is my favourite part of the song. For some reason, I really like the "kara" at 1:06. She goes a little softer on that part, and it really suits the song (TYPO : I wanted to write 'fits' but then I changed my mind and I wanted to write 'suits' ~ and ended up writing fuits ;D)

Her "wa" on 1:18 sounds amazing! She goes (just like Eri) a little bit down with her voice on that part~ I love her high notes at 1:20 and 1:30. They sounds lovely!~ Sorry that Karri's review is a little bit shorter, but since the song itself was shorter I had to xD

THAT'S IT FOR NOW.

I'LL BEH BACK.

Hikki Reviews!

Yo yo yo, 'sup minna-saaaaan? I think I've been watching too many concert videos! Anywhooo, today I am reviewing Project Koubou's latest release- Dakishimete Dakishimete! Like many other releases I've reviewed, I'm totally new to their project. They seem to be a half live and half-dubbing group, as they have some close-up singing vids of some of their members. Very interesting! But lets cut to the cheese!



Saki: Kate
Miyabi: Axana
Yurina: Linneke
Chinami: Moni
Maasa: Meche
Momoko: Ash
Risako: Rieke

Dakishimete Dakishimete by PKoubou / So, I was dreading that it'd be hard to follow considering I haven't hear any of the member's voices, but thankfully, they stuck to the original color coding! So let's get started! The first line by Ri/Ax got me hooked! The blending is fantastic, and their voices sound incredible together! But let's listen more for their individual solos!

Rieke has a very interesting voice, but there is very audible static in the background, which takes away from her pretty voice! So hopefully she can get a new mic soon. Axana has a good and strong voice, however there were a few mispronunciations, which will probably get better with practice.

Now bring on all the tiny solos by everyone else! At 0:45 is Linneke and she has a really nice voice, the solo is too short for me to analyze more, but she seems to have a good grasp on the pitch. She's followed by Moni, who has an adorable voice, but lacks a bit of energy. Her mic quality also takes away from her energy too, which is unfortunate. Meche has a very strong sounding voice, but it seems like she needs to have a bit more confidence in her singing. And finally is Kate, whose line is a bit off timing, but she has a very captain-tone!

And now is the chorus, which needs to be cleaner personally. Volumes were okay, it wasn't super loud or anything, but the mixing and timing for some people were off which made the chorus seem messy. Now, I'm a terrible mixer, so I know that mixing is incredibly tough, so I feel for the mixer. But I'm sure in time their mixing will get better and better! So don't give up! Some of the lines WERE in sync, and they sounded really blendy, which is awesome! And ending the chorus at 1:29 is Ash who has such an adorable voice!

Now after listening to more of the dub, I can tell that the group mainly suffers from their lack of energy, because everyone has a really great voice. COME ON GUYS! THIS SONG IS HOT AND STEAAAMY. IT'S ABOUT....HOLDING...STUFF. And when you hold stuff you want to HOOOOOLD it, not just.... hold it. D:

Anyway, there's another long line of solos, and everyone sounds really good, but they are all off-timing, which irks me a bit. However, like I said before, I'm sure that with time, their mixing with improve! Okay at 2:12-2:17 is the beginning of the second chorus, which sounds MUCH better than the first. Most of the lines are in time, except a few slow lines here and there. At 2:25, I really like the elongated "Shinaideeeee." It sounds really great!

Huuu~ at 3:01 is Rieke's long Risako solo! She has a very interesting voice as I said before. It's really adorable, and she has this cute nasally tone (in the best way possible.) All she needs is a boost of energy and more UUMPH, and she'd be amazing! However with that said, she does a good job with Risako's solo! Anyway, I believe this group has a lot of potential, because they have good voices! I'll keep an eye out for them!




Kokuhaku Funsui no Hiroba by Mero of Taiyou (HoshiDubs) / Whee! I finally picked a dub from a project I've actually heard from before! So this song is Mero's (xXLuvleeMerodiiXx) solo debut song in Hoshi's concert! And although I found it a bit strange that they'd use this performance in their concert, it's really sweet of the leader to allow their new members to sing what they want (I'm trying to say this in the least sarcastic way, but for some reason my sentence structure just makes it seem mean. SERIOUSLY. IT'S NICE!)

Well, anyway! I've never heard Mero's voice before, but she sounds REALLY GREAT! I love the energy and emotion she put into this solo. She sounds so much like Risako, except not bad. Ahaa~ That's right, I burned Risako's voice.

At 0:50 ("Guuzen keisan...") she switches from back and forth from this strong mature voice to this aklfnsfnasf ADORABLEEEE voice. And although you'd think it may sound strange, it sounds really CUUUTEE. Well, it's more like she sang the ending syllables of the phrase in a cuter voice, so I guess it wasn't that noticeable, but I liked it!

At 1:07 is probably my favourite part. If you guys have been reading my reviews, you know I get eargasms from vibratos. And Mero's vibrato at "anata ga suki" was....FANTASTICCC! I loved it. Well, actually her vibrato continues on throughout the chorus, and they all sound great, but for some reason, I like the first one the best.

And at this point, all I'm doing is staring at Risako's BALLOON SHORTS. What were you thinking, Risako? DDD: BALLOON SHORTS?.....REALLY? Well, this was a short short solo of only 1:27 seconds, but I thoroughly enjoyed every second of it! Another great release by Hoshidubs!

Reviews by ChiiAyuChan



Wada Ayaka: BanryuSaint
Maeda Yuuka: Miyazuchan
Fukuda Kanon: MomoxMochi
Ogawa Saki: Rasubelly

Yume Miru 15sai by C/olorage (HoshiDubs) / One of the few dubs I've heard of this song, which I find kinda difficult to sing! It requires good high notes! Plus great energy & pronounciation, as well as a cute tone at the same time. C/olorage has a lot of strong points, especially: Kanon and Saki (Momo and Belly). I have to say I LOVED their performance a little bit more than Banryu and Miya's.

Anyways! The four of them are fantastic. Energy: always on top. Very good, it really gives us the sensation of listening to a SMLG song. Pitching; it's generally good! - I like the super high parts when they switch from belting to head voice, nice job everyone. Group parts; EPIC!!! Probably my favorite thing about this dub! Check out 1:46 - they sound very good together.

Mixing; nice job too. Maybe group parts are a little too loud in chorus parts? But I really really really enjoyed them. Solos; 0:22 (my favorite one in the whole dub). At 1:47 Miya gives us a lovely solo, we can hear her cute voice, nice high note! Congratulations to C/olorage on this wonderful release! *expecting for more!*

Iroppoi Jirettai groupdub (hosted by Asunasasaki) / First whipering was very unexpected! But I really love to hear different things, so I love both of them, specially Momo's one. Duet parts are very good! 0:59 with Amaya and Beth is my favorite one, nice blending and very good feeling. LOVED the Happy end story parts.

Let's move on to the first chorus: Blending is very good, pitching is good overall - I can hear some little voices that didn't hit the notes right, but that's understandable since it is a really hard melody to do. Mariko's 1:38 solo is my favorite one from the chorus part. Maybe do something about the mic?? but it's not a big deal, we could hear her lovely strong voice.

Second part duets are nice too, maybe a little bit more of Carlos voice could have been good. Loved the "dakishimete hanasanaide." Second chorus voices are a little bit too loud but still very enjoyable. Loved Beth's solo. My favorite solo so far until now! Let's go to 3:35, where there are oodles of solo parts - person by person - Mariko; nice, althoug first note wasn't right, very good the rest of it though. Amaya; very nice, a little bit too sweet for Yossie, but I love it.

Momoko; nice job, very Koha style. Kassia; L-O-V-E-L-Y. Veri; oh, I like this one. Maybe a little bit more cuteness needed, but still, excellent job. Chikako; WIN WIN WIN WIN! Mariko again; my favorite solo of this part. Last chorus is very well blended too, 3:51 Beth solo is my favorite one from the whole dub. Did I hear Carlos doing harmony in the last chorus? I love that one, really. *Favorites!*

~Aya here! Bumping in real quick, lol. Just wanted to point out that Hanna and Alison 's parts have no solos in this song (Sayumi & Ogawa), and it's always harder to comment on someone you don't get a chance to actually hear. There is nothing in this song that is sung by everyone, only a bunch of smaller groups, and both Hanna and Alison contributed to many of them. I listened to this as well, and I think it turned out pretty good. A lot of it kind of has this muted quality(?) to it. Maybe it's something to do with someone's mic, or a combo of mics? idk, but overall it's nice, everyone did a good job.




Koharu Kusumi : Kiwa
Kitahara Sayaka : Miwa
Kikkawa Yuu : Madigan

Tan tan taan by Sunny Way (Karaproject) / Oh I am very glad I could do the review for this dub, because Tan tan taan is my 2nd favorite song in the entire world. 0:25 solos: GREAT!!!!! - the three of them have cute voices, each one of them with their own style but very similar, which tells me that group parts are gonna be EPIC!

Kiwa's 0:40 solo is my favorite one from the first part, but Miwa's next solo is also lovely!! I also have to say that I love Madigan's high note on her solo. The chorus is good; nice energy and pitching overall. Maybe mixing-timing was a little messy?? Miwa's 1:45 solo is LOVE!!! pitching and feeling are very nice. The "don to kooi" is adorable!

Second chorus timing is not that good, so I can't hear their lovely voices very well. Energy in the "1-2 tan tan taan" parts are good. 3:21 is my favorite part of the dub. Kiwa's first solo: super cute! Miwa's solo: my favorite , favorite!- Madigan: extra lovely job!! "Niji no youni" parts are very good! Last chorus sounds better. Just watch out timing for the next one, but I still enjoyed this dub a lot!! Keep it up~

Misc Auds



Koibito Koe Project 【Auditions OPEN】 (Koibito Koe Project) / Belly's new project! Along with Nina (AnimeXLover28Kat) and Piichi (PeachGirl9). The form for auditioning is in the drop down section. "The DEADLINE for 1st Gen Auditions will be about the end of July or sooner if we receive enough auditions."

Koibito Koe Project is "a project who'll cover whole concerts and if they don't speak to fast, MC's too (of course nobody has to if they don't want). In this project there are no specific persons. You can be another person in any of the songs and you don't have to be in every song."




「Hoshi☆Project」AUDITIONS OPEN!! (HoshiDubs)

Auditions for their new group, Taiyou (which will cover smaller groups such as W, v-u-den, High King, Aa, etc) are open. Most of the information is in the video. "I will be accepting 8-10 people for this group because you will be covering various groups! Each person will get to alternate groups. Example: If you were in a W song for one single, you'll be in another group (ex- MiniMoni) for the next single."

But more singers is not the only thing they're looking for; "Audio mixing is hard for only two people! (myself and ash) So I am in need of maybe 2-3 audio mixers to help us out! . . .Audio mixers will also be in a few groupdubs just to make things fair for them! It wouldn't be fun mixing stuff and then not even getting to be in any dubs, am I right?"




Momoiro Shoujo ~ Auditions OPEN (hosted by animefreakXDD)

"Momoiro Clover (aka Momokuro) is such a cute group! (And they finally debuted!) So I want to make a group to fandub it! I am looking for 4-6 girls to dub Momoiro Clover songs with me as the group Momoiro Shoujo. Their debut single 'Ikuze! Kaitou Shoujo' was #1 on Oricon charts on it's first day! Which is higher than some H!P songs ever make it!"




S/mile★DOKI Auditions OPEN (hosted by chiisanahoshi)

Helloo! Please audition for my newest group! We will cover S/mileage, Guardians4 and Shugo Chara! Egg songs. . . .I am only searching for THREE people to join this project. . . .Deadline: Not decided yet."

Shuensha's latest [by Kappa]



Takahashi Ai: AzNxRawRx
Niigaki Risa: MomoxMochi
Kamei Eri: BanryuSaint
Michishige Sayumi: AnimefreakXDD
Tanaka Reina: Marianahime
Kusumi Koharu: NicNac4Eva
Mitsui Aika: Aznfiregirl
JunJun: Yuns217
LinLin: BreeCuppycake

Onna ni Sachi Are by Shuensha (from HoshiDubs) / Well, I have to admit that this is one of my least favorite MM singles. I think maybe I’ve just seen one too many dubs of it and that’s made me resent it a little… but nonetheless, I am taking a good long listen to this newest from Shuensha!

I am only familiar with the voices of less than half of the cast members, so this is a view from fresh ears you’re getting here. I’ve noticed that sometimes if I’ve heard someone a lot, I get numbed to their voice and my perception of how good (or not as good, even) they are goes haywire. So hopefully my ramblings here might actually be a bit useful :P

The mixing struck me as loud right off the bat, but I think that wasn’t helped by the fact that the mic quality is suffering here amongst singers. There’s a wide array of mics, from AzNxRawRx’s, which is maxed out throughout, to BreeCuppycake’s and NicNac4Eva’s, which are pretty badly muffled. Good mics (as well as mixers having the know-how to fix bad ones) are so crucial to dubs, that what I’d love to see from this group is a dub where everything’s a lot more even. I find that it makes the experience of listening to a dub a lot more enjoyable and easy to the listener when they don’t have to focus as much on drastic differences between the mics of singers.

I can hear though where this group has a lot of potential. Going through the girls one by one, AzNxRawRx certainly has a lot of energy, as was noted in the dropdown bar. She has a nice tone, but again the mic is killing it a bit for me. She seems like she’s maybe trying to have a bit more energy than she actually needs and is getting a bit yelly in her lines. This in turn is maxing out her mic, which makes her hard to listen to. I can hear where I’d probably like her a lot more, but the mic’s limiting her, so I’d suggest just a little more control. It’s a difficult thing to get that sound of dormant power, but she sounds like she’s almost there! Mic aside, I did like a lot of her solos in this.

I like MomoxMochi’s emotion here! She’s got some pitch stuff to work out, but her solo was nice to listen to nonetheless. BanryuSaint’s Eri solo at 3:16 was really one of my favorites! I’ve heard her in stuff before and she surprised me here, which is awesome. The same goes for Marianahime, whose solo in the first chorus came out of nowhere to surprise me—I loved it!

Aznfiregirl covered as Aika, and did a nice job for having done lines quickly and still making them sound nice. I would have liked a bit more energy on her second solo, if anything, but props for covering on short notice. Although she only had one small solo, Yuns127 sounded good in this too—she’s got a sweet voice and I would have loved to hear more of her. I wish we would have gotten to hear a solo out of AnimefreakXDD, but she sounds good in her duet lines from what I can hear. Sorry I can’t comment more on her!

I noticed in the info bar the critiques for NicNac4Eva, BreeCuppycake, and AzNxRawRx respectively. I already talked about the last, but for the other two my mixer’s heart says that I have to pipe in to disagree just a bit. I’ve had to work with tons and tons of muffled mics before, and so I’ve gotten pretty good at hearing what’s underneath the bad quality—and I hear a lot with NicNac4Eva and BreeCuppycake. I actually thought that Eva had the best emotion and feeling in her lines of all of the singers in the dub! It sounds like both of them had fine energy, but it’s hard to hear because the mics are holding them back.

Seriously, bad mics should be crushed and burned because it’s such a sin how many fabulous singers I’ve heard totally covered up by their mics. Without going into huge detail and making this long entry even longer than it already is, I’ll just quickly suggest that whoever is mixing them looks into the high pass filter to use on their lines. Seriously, it will change your life the first time you use it. Change your life.

Like I said, this is as long as can be and I don’t want to bore you any longer, so here’s my quick note on the mixing: definitely work on bringing the mic qualities closer together, whether that be through your members or your mixing program. I won’t go too heavily into other stuff because it seems like your program is malfunctioning a bit, but one thing you can change easily is the vocal rip I hear in the background.

Make sure you’re silencing out the echos from the melody lines after you’ve taken out the harmony. I heard it echoing in the background and it can be a bit distracting—obviously this is a talented cast, so we want to hear them as best as we can! :] I’m interested though to hear what you can do with a fully functional program to mix with, so I look forward to the next single!

Misc Project RRs



Love&Peace=Paradise by My-Chan (HanabiProjects) / Yay! My-chan sounds really cute/sweet. Yeah, there is some pitchiness, but it's not too bad. And in this dub, it's kind of endearing. She acknowledges that the song is a little high for her, but don't we all sing stuff out of our range now and then? My-Chan has pretty good energy, and overall I enjoyed. I look forward to her next solo~




Shimizu Saki: Airen [malajesterices]
Tsugunaga Momoko: Mystery [xLittleMystery]
Tokunaga Chinami: Ameimi [Ameimii]
Sudou Maasa: Eririn [CharmyStar01]
Natsuyaki Miyabi: Sen [NatsujiSen]
Kumai Yurina: Memoire [Memoiree] (covering Naoka)
Sugaya Risako: Ai [kakkoiko]

MADAYADE by Shiny Sapphires (KireinoBijoux) / LOL, I got sidetracked watching the video as I listened and before I knew it was I was doing those hands-in-the-air moves while I cheered the "HAH"s along with them, and also the swirly hand movement they do during the "mada mada madayade" parts. I can't help it, the chorus is so catchy. Annnnd, my mind easily thought that I was listening to Berryz!

Anyways, on the actual dub itself. All of the solos sounded good and were well delivered, but most people could have used more energy. The chorus and group parts are fan-freaking-tastic!! My favorite part of the dub, hands down. I think this is a very good debut! Just up the energy a notch and the next dub will be smashing!




Mitsui Aika: BanryuSaint
Nakajima Saki: Diabolicbread
Kumai Yurina: NicNac4Eva
Sugaya Risako: NatsujiSen

Going On! by Sukai (HoshiDubs) / Very nice! I'm having a blank moment and can't think of anything good to say. This is a great cast, and every one of them sounds splendid! I'm glad it was noted that the harmonies are from the original song, cause then I made sure to pay more attention to the duets and solos, since I wanna hear these lovely ladies. The energy level overall could be better, but I like the solos a lot; there were so many good ones in this.

Good Day Sunshine !



Umeda Erika: Mystery [xLittleMystery]
Yajima Maimi: Nikki [NicNac4Eva]
Suzuki Airi: Chinatsu [FandubzRmylife]
Okai Chisato: Belly [Rasubelly]
Hagiwara Mai: Ami [Amiswami2]
Nakajima Saki: Nono [Nozomi25]

EVERYDAY Zekkouchou by S-ute (HoshiDubs) / This is very, relaxing. I can't think of a better way to put it; this song has such a pretty and simple melody to it. The kind of song that makes you want to smell the flowers and sway back and forth like the C-ute girls do, and sing "Good day sunshine!" And these girls totally pulled that off. I was swaying and humming along in my chair while listening.

I love having the split video with both versions. It shows you that this dub is timed amazingly spot on. I can sit here and watch the mouths move and everything is lined up perfectly, looking like it could really be coming from Maimi or whoever. Not that it's a must, since we all know YT likes to jack things up so that they turn out off. I just like it. Good job mixers and dubbers!

This could use a little more energy, but with this type of song it's not as noticable as it would be with a more power-filled one (like WAO by Berryz). Still, a little more. Hoshi's leader mentioned that there were some pronunciation errors but I didn't notice any super off ones, and when I followed along with the lyrics there were only a handful of iffy spots.

Nikki and Chinatsu did a great job on lead vocals (since, let's face it, that's what Maimi and Airi are). Both of them had nice solos in the beginning and throughout the song, though they seemed a little passive. A bit more umph would be nice. I liked Nikki's "EVERYDAY" at 1:42 and Chinatsu's "UH BABY"s.

As someone mentioned in the comments, there is a random "nan" sound around 2:16. It kind of makes you WTF a little, but it just one of those things that slipped through during the mixing process. No worries. Belly has the "EVERYDAY" at about 3:03, which is nice. It's also her at 3:36; she could have used a little more energy, but she still sounds good.

You don't hear Nono too much, but I really like her voice; it's lower and mature and sounds so lovely. Her solo at 1:23 was nice, but I liked her a lot on the duets she had with Chinatsu (0:56 & 2:18). I adore her on the ending notes of those lines that are lower, the "aru" and "inai" -

Cause in the song the second syllable is made into two syllables on two notes instead of one. Like 'a-ru-u' with the 'ru-u' going from one note down to a lower one. I like how Nono sounds singing those parts. She isn't the only one who does it, since this added syllable reoccurs throughout the song. I think it's a charming little touch that Tsunku added in.

Mystery and Ami have parts that don't get solos, but they contributed to the chorus, which is wonderful. They partake in some of the duets throughout the dub too, like their own at 2:45; which they sound lovely on. I liked Nikki and Mystery's duet at 0:52, and Belly and Ami sounded great together at 1:00 & 2:22.

I'm loving this. A little more energy and it'd be epic, but it's still marvelous as is~

Oh WAO frickin' WAO

Ohmygosh. Earlier I was thinking of doing a random Song Search entry since I'd been seeing a few of the same song and especially since I heard a really awesome version of it. And then I just looked at my shared vids and subscriptions, and there are TWO more of the same song. So now I am definitely doing this.

If y'all don't yet know what this is, you can check out the entry I explained it in recently. I know I said that I'd be taking votes for the next one, and I will; but I've decided that whenever I randomly decide to do one myself I will, while votes are adding up. I've just got a mega urge to do this, so I'm going to. Starting with WAO dubs on my computer~


It is a must that I begin things with the first dub of this I listened to, that is still one of my favorites. The B-side to Yamabuki's premiere single, Friends are Friends. I've had the MP3 on my computer since it came out and I adore this cast. Such energy!

And now for the more recent stuff that I just listened to today~




RAKKUN (pepsiguy93) ~ It's been far far too long since I listened to something by this darling guy. I think he just gets better and better, cause every time I hear his latest release I'm even more wowed than the time before. I totally agree with Takara (IKP) "This is love."

The energy level is WAO and I really love how Rakkun sounds with himself; especially on the "Oh WAO WAO Oh Yeah Otakebi" and the chorus. He pwned this song, hardcore. Congrats to him on 300 subs!! Go and listen!

Next are the two releases of WAO from project's I keep an eye on & that y'all have come to see quite a bit here. Because I fully covered Yamabuki's version I shalln't be doing so on another WAO dub anytime soon. As I've mentioned before; going over a dub second by second for at least 30+ minutes and breaking it all down can only be done once in a while or I get utterly sick of the song.
Saki Shimizu - madleybloomingstar / Awai
Momoko Tsugunaga - ShugoCharaWorlds / Amber
Chinami Tokunaga - Vendready / Kazzy
Maasa Sudou - Lilacsilk28 / Sayuri
Miyabi Natsuyaki - chocolateblakberri / Choco
Yurina Kumai - amiswami2 / Ami
Risako Sugaya - ChiiAyu / Ayu

Cookie Koubou (cremeproject) / Could have used more energy overall, especially with this being such a powerful song. I love Ayu as Risako though I didn't know it was her at first, she is such a strong talented singer. And before I looked at the cast, when I heard Choco I knew it was her, though it was a little different to hear her as Miyabi, lol. She sounds as wonderful as ever, I love that she sings with such emotion.

Amber seemed a little. . . .not dead but unenergetic, to me. If she put a little more umph into her lines they'd be more fun to listen to, though she has a nice voice. Omg, Ami has such a Yurina voice, but she was a little too quiet. Sing it out, girly! 1:50 is really the only time you hear the rest of the cast, since this song is ruled by Rii, Miya and Momo parts.

Kazzy has a cute voice but it'd be nice to hear more PAWAA from her, especially on the line that she has. Awai did great on her solo, I liked her "dou sa." Wow, I didn't know it was Sayuri singing next. She sounds good and I know she naturally has a quite-ish voice, but I feel it could have been better, though I can't put on my finger on how.

The group parts are swell and overall this is a good dub, but a lot of people sounded too passive or soft. It's not about perfection, but if us listeners feel that y'all enjoyed yourself just by what we hear, then we are likely to enjoy it more ourselves.

I agree with Fae - ". . . .apart from the energy problem (which we all know is hard) this sounds great. It's nice to be able to hear everyone in this! And this is quite a hard song, so you all did well." I hope everyone had fun since that is what it's all about.

Shimizu Saki: RionDrug
Tsugunaga Momoko: ChiiAyu
Tokunaga Chinami: AiriSuzuki24
Sudou Maasa: Diabolicbread
Natsuyaki Miyabi: Kakkoiko
Kumai Yurina: VeePinku
Sugaya Risako: Konaneko93

Kyohaku (HoshiDubs) / I don't really understand why the "Oh WAO WAO" parts are quiter. *EDIT* I talked to Fae and she explained some stuff for me. The harmony-WAO's I mention and the man-voice I heard were in the same file that she recieved to mix. And so were the melody-WAO's "I couldn't really change the volumes on it cause it was all combined." Totally understandable. So when you read what I say in the next few paragraphs, keep this in mind.

One thing I do like is that the "Oh Yeah Otakebi" parts are so there and so energetic! I remember reading a comment on some dub of this once, that the 'Otakebi' parts were basically getting left out, since it couldn't be heard. Not the case here. But on the other hand, the melody 'Otakebi's are supposed to decrescendo as they go lower, one reason they are often missed. They sort of drift off towards the end of the word.

And in this dub you really hear the harmony-like ones that are on higher notes and they don't get any quiter. They are very cheer-like and overpower the part that is supposed to be heard. So I must say that this dub has very unique 'Otakebi's, which may just have been unintentional when mixing, but I actually like it, even if it isn't accurate. Okay enough rambling about that, lol

Konaneko had nice energy and I think her Rii lines were pretty good, maybe a slight notch more power from her. I really liked Kakkoiko and ChiiAyu. Kakkoiko sounds awesome,;I adore her voice, it's so clear and lovely. And I can't help but lol at the fact that Ayuchan was in the previous dub of this as well. I always enjoy listening to her.

VeePinku did well on her solo; even though it's not a very long one. I'm glad that the effect was used on AiriSuzuki24's line since it's cool and she sounded good. RionDrug was a little passive/soft, definitely could have used more umph. Diabolicbread nailed her solo; awesome, I love her energy! There were one or two spots where the timing was kind of iffy, but nothing too bad.

I liked the "SUPAAKU BOOI" parts. Though, was I hearing a guy somewhere? Is it part of the instrumental or something? (*edit* already explained) idk. And also, at about 2:45 on the last set of'em the "BOOI"s is echoed. *EDIT* I guess they are in the original BK version, but very soft. I have to look into this cause I'm curious. Anyways, this dub is a little odd in some ways, but that makes it unqiue. Worth a listen~

"Are we the first dub on youtube to add the lightning SFX back in? I think that's something to be more ashamed of than anything, sigh. ACCURACY IS SWEET OKAY" ~ I love Liana. And I love this dub! & The lightning is epic. And everyone "did a SLAMMIN' job" - so props to this wonderful cast for gifting us with such ear pleasing stuff to listen to.

Airi Suzuki - Lilacsilk28 / Sayuri
Chisato Okai - ohmiyamoto / Nade
Mai Hagiwara - yumestarlet02 / Chiharu

SHOCK by °C-ustard (cremeproject) / This isn't my favorite song, and it hardly counts as a groupdub (*glares at H!P*), but none-the-less I think this turned out really good. I love when everyone sings together!! Like the lines before the chorus, before the "shock, shock" & also on the chorus. Sayuri tackled the high notes well and sounds lovely. I think so, and bunch of other people think so too; she's got mad skillz and a voice we all adore listening too.




Takahashi Ai: Saya / AnimefreakXDD
Niigaki Risa: Naoka / Banryusaint

Kusumi Koharu: Sen / NatsujiSen
Mitsui Aika: Bel / MomoxMochi
JunJun: *cover* Kayla / GoraxScene
LinLin: Lena / RionDrug

Nanchatte Renai by Shuensha (HoshiDubs) / LOL. I'm sitting here fangirling before I even listen since I really like this song, and then as the Momusu girls start moving on the screen, I wait for the music. . . .and wait. Then I realized that I had turned my headphones off when the phone rang. imadork.

The volumes seem a little odd to me. Like, idk. Parts seemed too loud at times and distracted me from listening to the singers, and I think I was picking up on some static throughout? Could just be me though. Also some off notes here and there, but regardless of the little things; I totally enjoyed this!

First of all, cause the song pwns. And 'cause even though it's not the best ever, I know that everyone really tried. I can hear it in the many many energetic lines! So props to all these lovely ladies for their gung-ho-ness. This is a keeper~




Celeste / Aqua / Amaranth
Heather / Pearl Pink / Amber

Soku Dakishimete by Bishoujo (IroKokoro Project) / The first track off of their third single, "There's still time." I'm having a slow-moving thought-process out of now where right now. Probably cause it's been like seven hours and I'm hungry again, lol. On my eighth or so time through this dub, and I must say even though it probably could have been a notch better overall, I still think it came out really well!! Definitely worth a listen. All of the girls sound great!




And to finish this entry off, here is a preview of Rival by Nikkou (HoshizoraDubs) ~
