Sometime during Kumoricon 2011 (during con time), perhaps in karaoke, or outside the hotel, we could organize a group of people who will sing the Nico Nico Douga Kumikyoku. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cepXLReu1aU Here's an example.
Lyrics Here: http://www.gugalyrics.com/KUMIKYOKU-NICO-NICO-DOUGA-LYRICS/479027/

We would need to practice, obviously, so we could organize times to meet up somewhere and practice in the summer :3
I think it'd be really fun to do this in a group, so go grab your friends and post whether you're interested :3

EDIT
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FrWgcSi5ACo&feature=related an off-vocal version for practicing :3

That would be amazing if you could help with that ^^. We'll be sure to take extra precautionary measures to protect your stuff and make sure it doesn't get stolen if you decide to bring it.

@Wrath: I have work in the weekday afternoons but I should be able to do weekends =P We'll have multiple practices, so if you people can't make it to one, we can always catch them up at the next one. Thanks for recruting~! ^^

:3..I actually already had one x'D But you can use it to practice. Once we get more people, we can talk about breaking up lines and stuff, since some parts of the song overlap in vocals.

Also, please list the area you live in, or can travel to, approximately (ex. Beaverton, Oregon) so that I can try to arrage a good meeting place for practices!

o.o we might not be dancing. That might be hard x'D but if someone can come up with something nice and simple, then we can.
= P you don't have to be good at singing~ Thanks for your offer to help provide equipment! ^^~ it's a huge help!

:3 we still need more participants, so grab your friends~ Also, what day do you guys think this would be good to have on?

Wrath-Chan19 · « **Reply #12 on:** June 09, 2011, 09:21:35 pm »

Day 2 wouldn't be good for me, since I'm running around withe the Sailor Moon Panel and photoshoot

Chiroyo · « **Reply #13 on:** June 09, 2011, 10:06:47 pm »

Day 1 is quite busy, since there are a lot of photoshoots and stuff going, but it seems to best day to do it. Plus we'll probably get a bigger crowd watching us on day 1 8D
However, I want more people's input on this too o3o~

Day 1 may be alright, depending on when we decide to do it, because I'm expecting to possibly get a table in AA, I have the vocaloid photoshoot, plus auditions for Kumoricon Idol, and I'm hanging with my friend who's flying out here all the way from Massachusetts to see me (but I can drag him to watch us sing 8D)

But I want to hear what more people think of it =P

sounds great! Amateurs and pros all welcome. I wouldn't consider myself higher than amateur actually either xD
I'm thinking maybe we should think about sometime to practice, since I have some friends who're also participating.

ALSO we now have a facebook event page!

just listened to it... wow... sounds hard... D8

Spontaneous · « **Reply #19 on:** June 28, 2011, 11:36:30 pm »

Hooray, I'm glad someone organized something like this :]
I'd join the FB page except I don't have one... xD

Edit: Oh! And not to toot my own horn but I already know most of the lyrics...hehe

:3 it sounds hard at first, but it's quite easy to pick up if you listen to it a few times. The background music already gives you the melody line to sing, actually, so all you need to do is learn how the lyrics fit it.

If you can't join the facebook page, that's fine as well :3 I just need some way of contacting those who plan on participating~

As an FYI, you CAN print out a lyrics sheet and use it during the event :3 no one's expecting you to memorize it.

And now to address a separate matter, we have to start thinking about a few practice dates =P And where to have them. I was thinking perhaps some park like the park near the Beaverton City Library, or something.

weekends are also good for me because I have a summer part time job ^^; I can do mostly any time on weekends though.

As for location.....

Wrath-Chan19 · « **Reply #23 on:** June 30, 2011, 04:52:29 pm »

8D really? that's awesome! >u< flexibility is great~ I need to ask around our other members as well

Chiroyo · « **Reply #25 on:** July 02, 2011, 08:39:16 pm »

SO! A general update! We're having our first PRACTICE Next week on Saturday! It will be from 3 to 5 P.M. at the park by the Beaverton City Library! If you're going to participate in singing, you should come if you can. If you have any questions, go ahead and shoot.

Please bring to the practice:
-yourself (duh)
...-a printout of the lyrics-- we'll be splitting up the members into 2 groups so that we can do the layered parts of the singing well
-any speakers or equipment we can use to play the music loud enough for us to practice with if you have it-- I'll bring a CD and my mp3 player + cord to hooke up if necessary

<sorry for the double post, but I thought people should see this .-.>

Aaaaah. ;.; I would LOVe to join this, but unfortunately, I can't make it out to Beaverton. ;.;

luvan1me · « **Reply #27 on:** July 03, 2011, 01:20:37 am »

YOU CAN COUNT ME IN SISTA! just the thing is... i work on saturdays... i only have mondays off... and SOMETIMES fridays or saturdays depending on how busy it is. BUT i will let you know when i'm free and see if i can attend or not or we can make a small group practice for those who can't make it on the big group days and we could practice somewhere.

i have friday off this week. so maybe i can join in then?

Chiroyo · « **Reply #28 on:** July 03, 2011, 09:12:33 am »

:3 for those of you who can't make the saturday practice this time, that's okay! because we'll have more pratices at different dates and locations throughout the summer until con time!

I'm afraid I can't do this friday because I have work on that day TT-TT orz. BUT. I have a lot of time off from work during July and August, so I can try to arrange everything around people's schedules.

It'd be helpful if people could tell me which days are good form them and which days are not :3

luvan1me · « **Reply #29 on:** July 04, 2011, 12:51:29 am »

ah okay. well are you at all free on friday? even after work? maybe i can meet up with you, cuz then we can go around passing out flyers trying to recruit people?

Chiroyo · « **Reply #30 on:** July 05, 2011, 11:08:01 am »

Friday, perhaps. I'm free from around 5:00 P.M. to 7:00 :3

luvan1me · « **Reply #31 on:** July 05, 2011, 01:34:42 pm »

hm 5 to 7. that might work. i have jury duty, possibly, that day, but i won't know till thursday evening. i have to call in and make sure i'm still needed on friday. i'll post you with an update on thursday

Chiroyo · « **Reply #32 on:** July 05, 2011, 09:08:43 pm »

:'3 I'm sorry to say I screwed up. I can do most times NEXT week, but I forgot that this Friday my aunt is flying in and I need to spend time with her and my cousin ^^; sorry about that. We can arrange for another date if you like.

luvan1me · « **Reply #33 on:** July 05, 2011, 10:37:24 pm »

lawl that's fine :3 it makes it easier on me XD i'll see how my next week looks like :3

Chiroyo · « **Reply #34 on:** July 06, 2011, 05:03:52 pm »

:3 alright, just go ahead and shoot me a message when you find out. I'll look at my schedule as well

Chiroyo · « **Reply #35 on:** July 09, 2011, 10:29:51 am »

<hate to double post, but>

SO AS A REMINDEr. THE FIRST PRACTICE IS TODAY AT 3-5 PM AT BEAVERTON CITY LIBRARY PARK. we meet by the playstructure. I'll be holding a sign that says
Nico nico douga Kumikuoku Kumoricon on it, so look for me! PLEASE COME!

and bring your own lyrics sheets :'3 my printer isn't heavy duty and I'm not printint off 100 pages of kumikyoku lyrics orz.

Spontaneous · « **Reply #36 on:** July 09, 2011, 12:01:42 pm »

Aww, unfortunately it's too far for me... ;(
Hope you guys get some good practicing in!

Chiroyo · « **Reply #37 on:** July 09, 2011, 02:29:44 pm »

;A; awww. next time I'll change the location, since it seems a lot of people live a little further out :3 we'll change locations frequently, so maybe next time~

...that is if anyone shows up D8 I'm scared...

luvan1me · « **Reply #38 on:** July 09, 2011, 09:30:17 pm »

how'd it go? also a good place might be a park somewhere nearby both portland and beaverton area. OR maybe the zoo too. since it's close to the max, and people could just get off there, and we can all meet in the tunnels, and practice at the park there.

Chiroyo · « **Reply #39 on:** July 10, 2011, 08:03:37 am »

well actually no one showed up ;A;
I walked around for 45 minutes with a huge neon-highlighter sign and no one showed up. So I think I'll pick somewhere closer to Portland next time :'3

and I'll be sure to be more organized/get more people's phone numbers.

I would love to join, however I also am not wonderful at singing. I'm not off-tune terrible, but I'm just not very good. ^^;;

I can probably get a friend or two of mine in on it as well. I know one will love to do this and she's wonderful at singing. Another might join if I say we can do it together in our Rin and Len cosplay, otherwise she might be too shy to do something like this.
