The Diva

18.4.10 -- Misc Dubbing Ventures

It's gotten pretty interesting how online communities can somewhat exist outside the realm of an MMORPG these days. The internet's really helped bring people together, mostly through shared interests. Anyone stumbling onto this (more or less) dead blog of mine would probably realize how I've just been spamming fandubs I happen to be in, in the few most recent of posts...

*inserts contented sigh here*

Behold the existence of online J-Pop/Rock fandubbing communities!! Heh, for now, I'm just happy to be a part of one. There are tons of amazing undiscovered talents all across Youtube and the internet connects us all! How else would someone all the way up in say...Canada get to have a duet with someone else living in...heck, Egypt (purely example people)? Gotta love the possibilities~

Here are a couple more dubbys:

Pinky Team's (I have no idea how the name came about XP) attempt at Berryz Koubou's 'Tomodachi wa Tomodachi Nanda'. I'm the second person to solo in this as Miyabi, pronounciation's a little iffy but meh, whatever. Mitsuki (who dubbed Aa!'s 'First Kiss' together with Rixie and moi previously) sings after me as Momoko. Of course Rixie's amongst the voices here too (if that wasn't obvious); she's the second one to sing during the second verse as Saki/Captain.

Now this one was just a random group dub with two people who have only just joined Pinky Team's line-up: Sayuri and Aiko. I've gotten to know Sayu-chan quite a bit lately and found out that she's also Malaysian and living in Gold Coast, Australia. Similar situations? Haha, she's a fun girl who just so happens to be lucky enough to sound so incredibly-alike Airi; which should explain why she's singing as Airi in this two-song dub of 'First Kiss' and 'Yume to Genjitsu' (yes, I previously did this with Mitsuki and Rixie but we didn't continue with 'Yume to Genjitsu' T_T).

Unlike with the later duo though, I wasn't singing Miyabi (Aiko does -- and does a splendid job) in this cast but Akari. I think my voice (being as high-pitched as it is) suits her better in this.

Heh, it's a whole lot of fun, singing with other people that is. Sure I'm not trained or anything and heck I know a near nil about singing techniques but nothing wrong with doing something for the fun of it, right? Even if I suck, lol! XD

Oh, now here's one that's just...beautiful (never really even knew they existed till I caught a glimpse of their works on Aya's blog -- she comments on various dubbers across Youtube, though mostly in the J-Pop/Rock realm).

It's Stella Voci's cover of the song 'Scarborough Fair'. Ever heard it? It's an amazingly serene and charming song; apparently about ex-lovers. They're a total of 9 people in this dub, though word is the group-choir's member count has increased to 14 just recently. Ah, by the way, avid RPG fans will probably recognize (and adore) the various game scenes.

Well, that's it for now peeps. Ugh, a long entry for once eh? Well I've tons of blogging to do so hah...kind of got into the mood for this. Till next time!! ^^

The rest is still unwritten...
