Misc Requests

Many of these next dubs I received 3 weeks or so ago, so as to not put them off any longer I'm going to be writing a little something about them now! It's hard to find the time to fully write about everything, and these are songs that I'm honestly not in the mood to break down, lol. Thank you to everyone who sends things my way, and for being patient with me~



Maeda Yuuka: Moka [animeobsessed40]
Ogawa Saki: Natsumi [KonataIzumi124]
Wada Ayaka: Reika [candyraver009]
Fukuda Kanon: Rixie [RixieMixiePixieDixie]

aMa no Jaku by C/afeage (cremeproject) / D'AW this is cuuute! I love the group parts, the cast sounds splendid together! I'm not a huge fan of this song (wow, it so makes me think 'indies' now, lol) and it's melody & beat make it a little tricky to sound energetic on, but the girls did a nice job.

I'd like to hear Moka sing louder and with a bit more umph! She's such a cutie. Natsumi is pitchy but it could be partially because the highishness of her part in the song? You can hear some strain, and I've heard her sound great on other songs that suit her more. Reika is kawaii, ohmygawsh! I wanna squeeze her, she's so adorable. Ohh miss Rixie sounds a lovely as ever!! Her solos aren't long, but they're wonderful! I love her voice.

This is really nice overall! Lots of sweetness and delightful singing! I'm trying to think if I've heard anything by this subunit before and I don't believe I have. Plus the "Creme!Project presents...." has me thinking that this is a debut. But it's also noted in the drop-down section that this is a limited edition single, because the lineup is changing. Either way, congrats to the new group! *plays dub again*

3, 2, 1 BREAKIN' OUT! by Yoshino Musume (SakuraProjecto) / Wow, I like this a lot! There's oodles of fun + cute attitude, emotion, and energy! There's also a lot of great blending going on throughout the song, along with all the various delicious sounding duets and trios (etc). Plus let's not forget the sensational "AH"s (ex 1:05)- I don't know what Ayuna is talking about, I think they turned out great! Nae totally rocked her opening solo, I love it! Kuri isn't my cup of tea, but she sings with great umph!

There are so many parts in this that I like (such as the "yuuki wo motte tachiagare" lines), fenjkfnejkf. I just love that everyone sounds like they really had fun! The chorus is probably my favorite part of this dub, though it's hard to say. The melody is so catchy and this group pwned it! I love the "Count Down 3, 2, 1 Breakin' Out"s a ton, and the "OH YEAH"s are fabulous. This is definitely worth a listen!!

Nanchatte Renai by Eie-n Musume (hosted by chiisanahoshi) / Enunciation, pitch, timing, volume- those are things that could use some work. A few people were off on the melody and/or pitchy. There are spots where the lyrics are gibberish (ex 2:57), the girls' singing volumes are often inconsistent, and the timing isn't always spot on. But with all that said, this song is not a piece of cake. Y'all should listen to me try and sing it; "la la la- f*ck! la la la la la- f*ck!!" and so on.

I like Chii's 0:51 solo (especially her first line), except her high notes at the end are quite pitchy. I'd like to hear Momo (1:06) sing louder, but props for her being a cover! Candii did a great job on her part of the rap! Wai, Yama, and Chii all had a line of it too and they're swell. I think Me did the best job overall, she has a lovely voice and is marvelous on the verses and chorus. Yama (2:18) is adorable and I like the first part of her solo, but her last line is pitchy.

I can barely make sense of Mati's 2:57 solo. You get pieces of words here and there, but it's all real jumbled. She is cute sounding, but needs to separate her words more and pronounce them clearer. Cherry (3:04) has a pretty voice, and though her chorus solo is nice, I like her "Oshiete hoshii" back at 1:19 more. The groups that sing starting at 3:46ish is probably my favorite part of the dub.

2010 Concerts

I don't have enough time before bed to really do any actual writing. I need to make sure I don't stay up too late since, sadly, this is the last day of my layoff and I go back to work tomorrow. Something that I've been wanting to do, but haven't gotten around to, is making a sort of status update entry about the currently ongoing concerts.

The video displayed for each concert will be the latest track released. Then all the tracks will be listed in order after that- to lessen confusion I'll bold the last track's number as an reminder. Not too long ago I did an entry about the first 20 tracks of HanaPro's concert; you can find that here. I've written about a few other concerts semi-recently;

Milky Star : [x]

Kireina Project : [x]

Yoku Project : [x]

Hopefully I didn't mix up any of the links in this, cause they're all over the place. If I did, feel free to tell me. I was going to include download links in this, for those that provided them. But that's more work and I need to get this done. I'm sorry if I missed your project's concert. I surfed through all 80+ of my subs and this is what I found. You can always send the info my way~

EVERYDAY Zekkouchou! by °C-ustard (cremeproject) / CP's been busy with a concert as well. I shall try and catch up on the ongoing summer concerts once I'm more caught up on my requests. But jumping right into this dub! 0:20 is Miyako, she has such a clear cute+pretty sound; her opening solo is delightful. Sayuri follows, and goodness me, I never tire of her. So sweet+charming, and she's always sings with emotion.

Duets! 0:56 is Ai/Sa, you can really hear them together on "kina machi" ~ they blend wonderfully. After them is Na/La, wow they're almost one voice. They have similar sounds, soft & sweet, so they mesh well together; I really like their duet. The group "Good day sunshine" at 1:06 is marvelous, and I think the echo is an interesting little addition. Chorus time 1:11ish! Aiko at 1:23, she's peppy and fabulous; especially her "de yeah"

I love that the second verse (1:59) is almost all full-cast sung, points for Tsunku on that. This group of gals sound fantastic together! 2:13ish is more duets, followed by more terrific chorus at 2:33. If y'all are familiar with this song, you'll know that there are no Erika or Mai solos, but we do get to hear Lizzie/Lai at 2:45! They're a splendid pair and sound very lovely.

Skipping ahead a little bit, 3:24 is a beautiful group part. Nade solos at 3:36, she's endearing but a bit quite. This dub needs more energy, in varying amounts individually; but overall it could do with a few more notches. But aside from that, this is magnificent; the chorus is my favorite part.

Keeki debut! [Shared vid + MPR (C)]

Momoko Tsugunaga - Okie [DivaDagger]
Miyabi Natsuyaki - Choco [chocolateblakberri]
Airi Suzuki - Sayuri [Lilacsilk28]

Kiss! Kiss! Kiss! by Keeki! (cremeproject) / Ohmygosh, this is fantastic!!! These three gals are perfect for this song! All cuteness, sweetness, loveliness and the definition of adorable! When Sayuri sang her first solo I was immediately in love with her all over again. Her "Kotae nante doko ka ni" is so spot on and pretty, even if simple. Sayuri owns Airi's part.

The "...jan" group lines (0:44 & 0:51) in the second part of the verse are wonderful! I bet parts of this song are easy to be pitchy on; I've heard a lot of dubs of this and more often than not even the best singers have some iffy notes. Such is the case in this dub, but this is a very talented cast and they've done a spectacular job on this song.

Okie would have suited any of the Buono girls with her sweet+kawaii voice, but I find I like her in the part of Momo, because she gets to sing the pre-chorus, which I adore. Actually Miyabi also has it, so I really like that Choco (1:06) and Okie (0:59) got to sing that part, since they both sound fabulous on it!

The higher notes in the chorus make it especially easy to be pitchy on, and that doesn't come close to happeneing here. This song suits Keeki's vocal ranges very well! Okie's 1:26 solo is so cute, I really like her "da yo" ~ Following is Choco and her "A.i.shi.te.ru" is epic!! Moving on to the next chorus; wow, I guess Airi doesn't get interesting lines in this. She is so center in C-ute that you get used to her being so. Sayuri sounds splendid on all her solos, but I find the parts she has sort of boring.

I really like Choco's 1:56 solo, I love her on the melody! The same goes for Sayuri at 2:03 ~ both of their "zutto"s are SO good! I don't think I've ever been so aware of the harmonies that come in the instrumental (I believe?) in this song. You can really hear them during the pre-choruses, like at 2:08. They're a nice touch, though I'd like to hear the girls a little bit more so than some random mature-voiced female singer.

Okie has the first solo on said pre-chorus and I totally love her!! I like the way the syllables are said along with the music (short-long & higher-short, short-short-short-long & higher -short) and she does it wonderfully and sounds so sweet. 2:37 is Sayuri's "Da.ki.shi.me.te" is probably the highlight (of her parts) in this for me; that and her opening solo.

I don't know for sure what is said during the little instrumental break (2:44ish), 'Kiss kiss. Kiss me, baby' ? I know in another dub it was sung as 'Kiss kiss baby' but they aren't actually included in the lyrics so I'm not positive. In this dub it sounds like they are sung as the former and they turned out very super sweet. 3:28 is Choco, and I love her ending "netereba ii" ~ her light vibrato is awesome. And I like how her 'ii' is sung in the silence, since the music cuts out (purposely) for a second.

One last fantastic chorus, and then the dub is finished off with Okie's "A.i.shi.te.ru" which I love to little pieces! Her 'ru' is so so so pretty! All of the girls hit oodles of lovely notes in this dub! Everything is so spot on and well done that you can't help but love this. This is Keeki's debut release and it is brilliant! Y'all should totally check this out~

SUKI

Darnit. My shoulder was aching this morning, so I slapped on some icyhot and a heating pad and curled up in bed with a book. Then I spent the rest of the midday and afternoon cleaning my room (hardcore) and doing laundry. So I feel bad that I haven't gotten around to blogging until now. But I am going to be working steadily at the 13+ shared vids I have and all requests made!!

Creme Project released the first part of their concert, Aisukuriimu to Keeki, in January of this year (Shiroi Tokyo, refer to video for full cast listing). Since then, they have slowly but surely been releasing one part after another. There are 26 parts in total, and the project is currently about 30% of the way through the concert. I don't know if I've listened to any of it yet, so here goes. Thanks so Sayuri for sharing~



Tsuji Nozomi - Coco [CocoNStorm]
Erika Miyoshi - Natsumi [KonataIzumi124]
Sudou Maasa - Aly [berrycutekinenbi]
Yui Okada - Moka [animeobsessed40]
Miyabi Natsuyaki - Choco [chocolateblakberri]
Risako Sugaya - Ayu [ChiiAyu]
Maimi Yajima - Miyako [miyakochanx3]

Hare Ame Nochi Suki / Coco starts things off at 0:14 as Nono; I adore how she always has energy, even subtly so in a slower song like this. I like her "shita kara" ~ Following is Moka, ohgosh her first part "KISS wo shita sono yoru" is really nice and her "JERASHII" (0:41) is very pretty.

ljkgfjioilglknj, CUTE CHOCO PAWAA! Geesh, if her voice were an edible treat I'd be munching on it all freaking day. Her first line's at 0:44ish and it's not even that long, but it's EPIC. And her voice coming out of Miyabi in her adorable oufit is so sweet (like, kickbutt sweet, not awww sweet). Her "nai" is gorgeous, makes me all mushyhappy to listen to her.

0:51, Aly as Maasa! I've been loving on Maasa so much lately, so when I heard Aly's voice I was like; D'AW ALY. Not that it matters who sings as who, but sometimes your brain likes to make connections, eh? Anyways, not a very long line either, but she sounds splendid.

Ayu at 0:58, I love her on "yashii" ~ a wonderful blend of cute and lovely. "Nee" is one little word, and yet Miyako (1:06) and Natsumi (1:08) sound flippin' terrific on it!! I'm rather in love with them right here actually *fangirlsigh* It goes to show that small lines can shine too.

1:13, chorus time! Coco's first up and she's totally cute. 1:28ish is Moka and....I'm confused. It's "nee hare dooriame nochi SUKI" and I get 'nee hare doo...' and then something like 'ananeme' sounding, then something else in place of the "nochi" before she sings the "SUKI" ~ so she kind of jumbled the lyric a little. We all makes mistakes, And!! She nailed the high notes towards the end of her solo!

Choco at 1:36 is fantastic!! Her whole line is delightful and her vocals are constantly like OH WHOA YEAH, top notch and fabulous. Following her on the "SUKI"s are Natsumi then Aly. The last one is by Ayu, and it's so low! That plus the stretched out syllables make it turn out a little odd, at least to me. But still good.

2:06 is Miyako, and I'm glad that she got an actual solo in this (I peeked ahead and I think everyone gets at least one solo of good length. YAY). When listening with headphones, her vocals start out on only one side (I'm wearing buds, so it could be left or right for me). But after "ashita wa" they switch to full. I don't know if it's a mixing error, or something that happened when recording? Just something noticable.

But that minor bit aside, she sounds superb! I really like her voice, it's been a little while since I heard her last, so I'm happy to hear her in this. Her whole solo's great; her ending "kono namida" is lovely. Following is Choco, ohmygosh, her "SUKI" is beautiful! Pure prettiful pwn. Natsumi at 2:30, a tiny bit of pitchiness, but her "I love you" and her ending "are" sound wonderful.

Coco has the final solo, the last three "SUKI"s (2:36). They're a nice finish to the dub, which overall, is awesome! I don't think I've ever heard this song before, and it's kind of pretty. These gals did a dandy job, so props props props~



Unforgettable by Kuzumochi / Sayuri also sent this my way. I'm going to be moving on from this entry to other things, so I won't be reviewing it. Have a listen though, it's Creme's latest release~

KAMO

Ai Takahashi - Anari [TeppeichanWaT]
Risa Niigaki - Michi [hitsugayahinamori]
Eri Kamei - Mitsuki [MitsukiUsagii]
Sayumi Michishige - Yuna [LoveSora27]
Reina Tanaka - Memoire [Memoiree]
Koharu Kusumi - Rin [strawberrymilkandtea]
Aika Mitsui - Sayuri [Lilacsilk28]
LinLin - Martha [missgumbiecat]
JunJun - Aly [berrycutekinenbi]

Naichau Kamo by Chocolate Musume (cremeproject) /My first thought, before even listening, was; oh this song again. Cause it's been dubbed a lot lately!! But, I really like this song ~ the melodies in it are pretty and catchy. It feels like it's been a while since I listened to anything by this project! The opening "Kamo"s are all wonderful, though Mitsuki's sounded a little out of place, not in a bad way though! Memoire, Michi, and Anari all have more stronger / more mature voices and then there is Mitsuki's slightly softer cuter voice. Anyways, all four of them gave the dub a good start.

0:34. Waaah, I love Memoire's singing! She makes a good Reina, but regardless of who she's singing as, she sounds great! I think maybe her "aizu da ne" could have been less...seperated syllables? I don't know how to word it; it would have sounded nicer if it flowed more.And she sounds like she was close to rushing a tiny bit on it. But this is me being nitpicky, lol. She really does sound wonderful.

kgjn eswkgfn!! Anari (0:42) sounds epic! She has such a strong, lovely, matureish voice and delivers so well! Following her is Yuna; cuuute! Not like kawaii cute, but like pretty smexy cute? idk. I wish I could hear her on a different melody and a longer line in this song, but I'll just have to look out for her in the next single!

Ohmygosh (*o*) the duets starting at 0:58 blow my mind. Mic/Me is the first line and An/Mit the second ~ both pairs sound incredible together, the blending is fantasitc! I have to say that I like the first duet more, mostly because I like the melody and lyirc more, lol. Chorus time, 1:08! O M G THE BLENDINGNESS ;w; It's freaking amazing. I am downloading this right now *clicks link*

There are two different groups that sing the main parts of the chorus, it's a lot of people to list, so just refer to projecthello's lyrics to see who makes up the groups. They're both so awesome that it's impossible for me to pick one I like more than the other. Anari's 1:16 solo is fabulous, she hits some nice notes, though I like other solos by her more. 1:32 is Mitsuki, she a little pitchy but sings with good emotion. All of the "Kamo" etc lines at 1:41 are magnificent! A great finish to the first part of the song.

Ugh, I like An & Me, but it's lame that this song has so many Ai and Reina lines. I'd like to hear how some of the other girls sound on the verses, but there are always pro's and con's to how you script. It's easier to follow along with a dub that's casted, but then you've got to go with the often unfair line distribution. With color coding or rotating through a number of girls ('in order of solo') you can break free of people getting shorted solos but~ without CClyrics to follow along with, things can get confusing. The con here is unequal solos.

2:06 to 2:29 is all by Anari and Memoire; plus the one line by Yuna at 2:22, which she sounds great on! All three did marvelously on their solos! Uwah, more epic pre-chorus duets at 2:30! Total win. Same groups as before (An/Mit & Mic/Me), only they flip-flopped the order they sing in. TMHLNHML (lol ilurae) the chorus is so gooood. Memoire's 2:48 solo is smashing! I really like her "mitai ni" as well as her "aitai"

YAY Michi solo at 3:04!! I adore the first part, "saigo no yoru ga kitara" ~ she sings with awesome energy and emotion, tackling the high notes and being like AH HELL YEAH I CAN HIT YOU! The end of her 'kitara' is so cute too, the little lift she does on the 'ra' note. And 3:13 is some more of those spectaculaer "kamo" etc's by various trios and duets.

After An and Me's lovely little bit of chorus at 3:40, the rest of the dub is just more chorus and a final round of "kamo"s. Oodles of props for Rin, Sayuri, Martha and Aly for all their work on these parts! They contributed to all of the wonderful smaller parts you hear throughout, and I know if they'd had any solos, they'd have rocked'em!

Wow, I'm really glad I listened to this. I've heard several dubs of this song, and this is probably in my top two. It's most definitely worth a listen (and a download). This cast of terrific gals would get like, five stars times a kajillion if the option was there anymore, but since I YT wouldn't have let me rate that many times anyways, I can at least give it a thumbs up!

SUKI SUKI SUKI

Maimi Yajima - Miyako [miyakochanx3]
Saki Nakajima - Aiko [ReinaLoverai]
Airi Suzuki - Covered by Coco [CocoNStorm])
Chisato Okai - Nade [ohmiyamoto]
Mai Hagiwara - Lai [MiraiLai]

Campus Life ~Umarete Kite Yokatta~ by °C-ustard (cremeproject) / This video is actually cute, I've never paid it much attention. Chisato is my favorite!! As for the dub itself; I really really like Miyako's opening line, especially her "hazukashii na dakedo aitai na" - she has a darling voice, very lovely!! 0:31 is Coco, she makes a good Airi; her high notes are pretty good, and she has this cute edge to her voice. 0:43 is Nade, and ohmygosh, she's adorably sweet sounding. Gah, I'm loving her voice, even though you don't get to hear much.

Ai/Lai sound splendid together on the duet right before the chorus (0:49). And the little "yeah" that follows is kawaii. The chorus is PURE WIN. I love how the whole group sounds altogether, especially on the melody here, it's definitely ear-pleasing. This is a fabulous cast!! I also adore the different parts / voices you can hear - like on the harmony and melody parts. These gals did a great job! Miyako's "SUKI SUKI SUKI" is cute, almost too quiet though.

1:36 to 2:00 is more Maimi & Airi solos (Miyako & Coco), both of which are awesome. A second later is Lai, who delivers well and sounds marvelous! Too bad the girls don't all get more solos, especially with this being such a cool song. 2:07 is the second duet of the song, this time it's Ai/Na -I like them as a duo; they blend well together, it almost sounds like just one person singing. And then we have more spectacular chorus!! Definitely my favorite part of this dub. Aiko's "SUKI SUKI SUKI" at 2:40 is freaking awesome, and very Nakki like.

Coco really shines on her solo at 2:55! Her "arigatou" is very cute, heck, the whole solo rocks! She sings so spot on and sounds fantastic!! Epicness. Then we get one last taste of the deliciously magnificent chorus, before Coco ends the dub wonderfully on the final set of "SUKI SUKI SUKI"s! I'm no mixing-smart cookie, so I can't really comment much on it, but my ears enjoyed and I was smiling as I listened. And it sounds like these girls had fun too - that's enough for me~

Shiawase no Katachi by J-unior SWEET (Totally Up! Project) / "The 1st track in J-unior SWEET's 5th single, Form and Happiness. This track features J-unior SWEET gen 9 members. . . .Corsica is a special guest on this single as she is a gen 6 member of J-unior SWEET."

This song is alright, but it doesn't exactly float my boat. And I don't know any of THE Possible girls by name, so I'm lost as to who is singing when. The verses are nice, though they seem like they are semi-tricky; like they'd be easy to sing off-time on - you kind of hear that as well, where some people got close. But they turned out pretty well in this dub! I think I like the chorus the most; it's catchy, has cute/sweet vibes and I like how everyone sounds on it. Overall, the energy level is good; the girls did a marvelous job. Delightful~

Tomodachi wa Tomodachi Nanda by Cookie Koubou (cremeproject) / I got distracted by the PV for a little bit, lol. I forgot what a sweet vid this song has. Then my computer went dumb on me and I had to restart. And I'm hungry. But anyways!! Uwah, such a wonderful cast! I know everyone except Kazzy, I think. Ayuchan makes such a great Rii!! It's a bit funny to hear Choco as Miyabi when I'm used to her as Momo, but either way, she is a fantastic and adorable singer. Both her and Ayu pwned their lines in this.

Okie!! Cuteness defined! All of her solos sound very sweet & good. Ohemgee, I love Aiko as Maasa! And following her is Awai as Saki, more omgIloveit! Both of them delivered fabulously! Kazzy is cute, too bad her and the other two only get one line in this song. 3:08 is really good, all of the verses are great and I adore the chorus!! Everyone sounds good together. I haven't listened to a dub of this song in a while, actually. And this is one marvelous dub!

Kyuuri [ reinaloverai ]

Suki Sugite Baka Mitai by (ShizenProjectDubs) / Generation 2's debut! their premier single is titled, Everyday In Perfect Form, and this is it's B-side. The A-side has yet to be released, but is in the works. ~ This is one of my favorite songs, and I think it requires a lot of energy. These girls did a good job, but I didn't get the umph! from this that I was hoping for. Yes, not every line is supposed to burst with energy, but this song does call for a certain amount of, if not energy, emotion. I am looking foward to their A-side, EVERDAY Zekkouchou - it's a good song.




Rii (AzNxRawRx)
Chisako (JapanGirlHellopro)
Mashiro (iwearatshirttoday)
Rixie (RixieMixiePixieDixie)

Sakura Kiss by SakuraRanbo (SakuranboDubs) / As noted by a few members of the dub, the mixing could be better. Even though everyone wasn't together, they all still sound good. The ones whose recorded lines kind of fell together had great blending. I really like the chorus, even with the jumbledness. The beginning and ending parts, "Kiss kiss, fall in love" & etc - I like those. I'd like to hear this with better mixing, I think it would be fabulous~




Ai [lovelybeige]
Hanna [HannaPulla]
Ceci [CeciiIceChii]

In the drop-down section it's listed as 'solos in appearance' which leads me to believe it's in order of solos - that the three girls will cycle through repeatedly until the song ends. But I kept getting confused and my ears were like; AH! So I finally found my way to their forums and luckily they had CClyrics up. But, things do not go in order of solos. I find it very frustrating when I'm looking at it in a 'order of solos' mind frame, when it isn't actually like that. Not just for when I'm writing, but also simply as a listener.

Edo no Temrai uta II by SweetxHeart♥ (ShiningStarCovers) / I really like this song, it's quite short, but super catchy. And I have fun lol-ing at Airi & Kanna's hats. I think Nakki looks adorable. Anyways! Ai starts the dub off awesomely, she has a mature and lovely voice. Following her is Hanna (and again at 0:42), she certainly has a lot of energy, which is a good thing. Her solos were sometimes a bit funny because of her amount of umph! but not in a bad way; she made me smile. All of the girls have good energy!

I love the chorus to pieces! Even if a dub isn't perfect, if it's got you laughing / smiling / feeling good / whatev, then the dubbers sure did something good and are worth a listen. This trio gives off such fabulous vibes as they sing this! I also like how they sound together. I love Ceci's solo after the first chorus, her "hey hey" at 1:10 is adorable!! And the rest of her solo here is wonderful. Following her is Hanna at 1:17, and the last solo of the song is by Ai at 1:23. Then we have more marvelous chorus before this short but sweet dub ends. Other than my initial confusion, I greatly enjoyed this.

Otakebi Boy WAO! by Hello!Stage Shuffles (HelloStage) / This song again, lol. I don't actually really tire of it, but sometimes it's just like; really?! Some of Jess' lines were iffy, but she's got energy. I super adore Beth's parts and Reika sounds awesome. And as we all know, the other four girls don't get many lines - the ones they do have sound swell though. I like the "WAO"s and the mixing sounds good to my unknowledgable ears. Overall, a nice release from H!S.

PAATI ~

Aika Mitsui: Sayuri [Lilacsilk28]
Yurina Kumai: Ami [amiswami2]
Saki Nakajima: Ai [ReinaLoverai]
Risako Sugaya: Ayu [ChiiAyu]

PARTY TIME by Kuzumochi (cremeproject) / Wow, everyone really suits their H!P girls here! I picked out Ayu's voice right away and she's always made an awesome Rii. Ai blew my mind as Nakki, and Ami sounded fab on her Yurina lines. There's no Airi in this, but Sayuri suits Aika also; she's not just an Airi girl! These four sound wonderful!!

The beginning of this song is super catchy, and the echoes are cool; the same goes for this dub version of it -I really like the "pa pa ya pa pa pa pia"s. Sayuri's "wakuwaku" is cute on her first solo (0:32), I've always liked that little part. Her ending "temo" was pretty. I could marry Ayu's voice; I never ever tire of it. Her first solo is at 0:39, and it's as splendid as all the rest. I liked her "ijippari yappari."

FreakingA, I adore Ami's singing (0:46)!! jdnqw djqwkdnqjwd I love her voice! I especially liked her "tara" from her "naratara" - it was such a pretty note. I don't admit it enough, but I have a weakness for Nakki (*cough*). A lot of people find her annoying, but I love her energy and think she's adorable. That's why I think Ai is perfect for her in this dub; she's always sings with umph! and is definitely darling. (0:53) And on top of that, she's so good! Her voice is that perfect mix between matureish and cute.

1:02 is the chorus, and I love the blending! In this song it's actually quite short; like a four-line paragraph plus some more "pa pa ya"s and such. Sayuri and Ami's "I will be sweet girl" lines turned out wonderfully! So did Ayu's "aruiteku" - but my favorite would have to be Ai's "aishiteru."

I think Sayuri (1:33) just has one of those voices that can easily sound like it needs more energy simply because she's not loud. I've heard her on other songs and I know she can sing very strongly, but she has a soft tone that can fool you into wanting to say 'more energy' when it comes to some songs. I found myself thinking that this time and I can't exactly get it out of my head. Regardless, she's marvelous.

I know I've probably said it before, but Ayu (1:40) just has such a unique voice. I don't know how to describe how I think it's different, it just is. When I hear her I don't think; 'oh she sounds like so-and-so' - she may remind me of someone at times, but she always sounds like her fantastic self. I really like her "ikou yo."

Ami again at 1:48, her whole line is lovely, but I really like her "seikai ka nante dare ni wakaru no" - I like how she delivered the words, very. . . .I can't think of a way to put it. Her syllables were short, quick, clear, and on beat. I love how she sounds. Now and then Ai hits a few slightly off notes, but it's not super noticable and her energy more than makes up for it. At 1:55, I like her "demo."

In the first set of chorus lyrics that occurs three times (the "party time hajimeyou" set of lines) I really like how the girls all sound on the 'n' in "iron" - the n's and m's are one thing that I didn't understand about Japanese at first until I looked into it. They are often said as their own stand-alone syllable / sound. And getting the right amount of syllables when singing any kind of song, especially a faster one, is important. You can be trying to learn a song, and if you're messing up just one pronunciation it can throw off the syllable count, which can mess up timing. [/blahblah] LOL anyways, I just wanted to say that I like how the "iron" sounds.

The rest of the song is basically the same melody with different repeated lyrics. Not too much to comment on individually. This group of gals really do sound fabulous together! I can't say I'm crazy about the song, but listening to this Kuzumochi release is delightful. The ending "pa pa ya pa pa pa pia" is spectacular~

Mano Erina : Coco [ CocoNStorm ]

Lucky Aura by Coco (from cremeproject) / Oh god I am sorry, I hate Mano Erina with a burning passion. I admit that I started listening to this with that bais, but thankfully Coco turned me around quickly—this is so sweet! I have to thank her for making me like this song, because she actually sang it with the personality that I always find Mano lacks for me. She sounds adorable throughout and there’s really not much I can find to critique. This is a lovely dub and it sounds like she worked a lot on it.

Good job to Sayuri on mixing it as well. The vocals are at a good level with the music and that meshing I was talking about in an earlier dub happened here. I would have liked to hear a slightly better quality audio rip so that the wota are clearer and not as center-channel-extracted sounding, but it’s a small thing. I have to give it to you because your mixing has improved a lot since I first heard you!

Overall, a good dub that deserves a listen. Great job, girls!

Koko ni Iruzee! by Dawn Musume (from Kanashimi Legend) // Koko ni Iruzee… this song is made of, tarred and feathered in, and then drowned in a sea of energy. With a quick read of the info bar, I can tell that the leader realizes that this dub turned out a tad on the low energy side. However, this song is HARD to sound energetic enough in, so I’m more than willing to give a fair listen and overlook that aspect to the rest of what’s going on here.

The quality of voices here is really nice! Most of the cast has some power to them that’s really holding this together well. Some of the soloists that really stood out to me were Valentine, Ameimii, and Aiko. All of them sounded fabulous, although there were a lot of powerful solos in this with a lot of personality. Those three really shone through to me the most though, and struck me as the best at having the full package—the power, the personality, the pitch, and the pronunciation. They nailed it!

I noticed right off the bat that the instrumental seemed really low here, but not in a de-amplified way so much as that it seemed like the gain was turned down. Sometimes I turn down the gain on my instrumentals when I’m timing vocals and forget to turn them back up, so maybe that’s what happened? Anyway, the vocals sound almost like they’d be the right volume had the instrumental been turned up.

It also sounds like there’s a lot of reverb on this that would be helped to be hidden if the music were back at regular level. It’s very possible as well that turning up the instrumental would help the energy of this dub out, since a lot of the feeling of the song is just in the wild instrumentation that’s going on behind the voices!

I love the 'WOW WOW WOW' lines at the end—probably my favorite part of this dub. All of the group parts in here sounded pretty good, though, and this group blends very well, which can be very hard to achieve. I think this group sounds great together and totally has the potential to sound FABULOUS. I enjoyed listening to this!

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~

Blabodu Entry / Download / Hana Pro's YT

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.

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.

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.

Time Capsule by °C-ustard / The echoes on some of the verse lines sounded cool. I liked Miyaki's opening line, I really like her singing. Liz has good energy and a unique voice. Sayuri is as adorable as always. I liked Ai's "nante" line at about 0:37. So cute/pretty.

The duets start at 0:53 going; Nade & Chiharu, Aika & Chiharu, Ai & Aika. I really like Nade and Chiharu together, though the other duets are good also. The chorus is freaking adorable! 2:12 is Aika and she sounds fantastic! The song was okay at first, but it grew on me as I listened. Too cute. These gals did great!




Balalaika by Rin (strawberrymilkandtea) / Fan-freaking-tastic. I can't help but like this song, lol. Rin sounds awesome!! She has great energy, well delivered lines, and kept time. I'm glad that she didn't try and imitate Koharu (in Kappa's case, it's hilarious), since it's a pleasure to listen to her.

I also like that a concert version was used, cause first off I love having the crowd added in, secondly usually the song isn't as long; less work for the singer/group and short & sweet for us listeners. Plus it's cute to see the Eggs up there dancing with Koha, lol.

Rin has a voice right in the middle, not super high or low and but with a good range both ways; it's lovely. And on top of that, at times she has such a cute edge to her voice. The ending speaking part was adorable too! She rocked the chorus, but I also really enjoyed the verses.

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.

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) ~

Misc Dub Sharing~

Bye Bye Bye! by amiswami2 / I adore the chorus to this song, the "Bye bye bye"s & Ami did wonderfully on them! I also really liked her on the main melody (Airi's lines), especially on the "mukatte" at 1:26. The little slow-trill thing on that part is awesome.

Her harmonies are freaking epic!!! I loved them on the beginning of the verses, like 0:18 and 0:21; but all throughout the song too. I also think she did a good job on the high notes. She sounds really cute/sweet in this, and even though it's a short dub; it rocks~




Airi Suzuki - Lilacsilk28 / Sayuri
Reina Tanaka - Memoiree / Memoire
Miyabi Natsuyaki - chocolateblakberri / Choco

First Kiss by Kuzumochi, (cremeproject's latest release) / Lovely! All the girls did a great job on their parts, and they sound marvelous together. Sayuri sounded sweet and had awesome high notes on the verses. Memoiree had some pitchiness, but great energy. I liked her at 1:12 and 2:33 on "kawatta." Aoi is as cute as ever. Most of the Miyabi solos are small, but when you do get a good listen, like at 2:37; she sounds so awesome! 5-star ladies~

Creme Project's Latest~

Yuki Ai Anata Suki by Anari [TeppeichanWaT] / Her voice reminds me of Koharu a lot. Her high notes are really cute, and overall this is a sweet dub. Once in a while she hit an off note, but she still sounded good and did a wonderful job.




Haru no Arashi by Coco [CocoNStorm] / homg I love this song. I've never paid Erina much attention, but after I heard this song I couldn't help but like it. & Wow! Coco sounds so flipping good singing it! Her voice is a mix of cute and pretty. I loved her very first line a lot. I also adored her "zutto zutto" part.

Kimagure Princess / This is Chocolate Musume's debut release, and it's a good one! Another Momusu song I never tire of. Gah, everyone sounds good!! Anari did awesome on her Ai lines!! I think I'm familiar with everyone except for three, and I shall peek at their profiles. This had pretty good energy and I liked the chorus.




Chance! by Rin [strawberrymilkandtea] / Ohmy, all three solos from Creme have been cute in some way, and this dub is so kawaii. I'm not a big fan of the song, but Rin makes it enjoyable to listen to. I actually really like the chorus. Her voice suits this song.

!!! I'm finally caught up with Creme Project. I wish I could have blabbed more about these dubs individually, but it's already late and I wanted to get them all in today. Next groupdub that is a song I haven't fully covered; I'll do it!!
