If Karaoke goes until 4 am I might get up and sing Komm Susser Tod if I have a spare few minutes. (Komm Susser Tod is the happy end of the world song from End of Eva for those who don't know.)

Unfortunatly I'll probably be on duty, and the funny people at the Genova Convention seem pretty insistent that I DON'T sing. ^.^

that would be cool. Do you know if songs like have to a certain length or less? cuz i have a song i wanna sing but i am not sure if it is too long.

There's someone in charge of the Karaoke who would know, but I don't know who. Sorry. ^.^;

To sing a song, do we have to bring in our own music, or is there a list somewhere that shows which songs are available?

If it's normal, large a Karaoke machine with a computer and everything that's being used, it should have songs programmed in, but they're usually just popular songs. I'm guessing that it'll either be like that, or have no songs in the machine.

AyaMitsukai · « **Reply #8 on:** August 03, 2004, 10:46:33 pm »

Well what i wanna know now are two things lol.
ONE: Can we sing more then one song? Cuz my friend and i wanna sing together but we can pick what song.
Two: Still same question about the time limit lol

if you wanna sing a song, but no karaoke verison exists... as me and i MIGHT be able to write a piano arrangent of it, depending on the song. then i can make a pisno recording for you to use, plus id give a second song with a clarinet playing the vocals, so you can practice with both ^^

*raises hand* That's me.

Sorry for taking awhile to get back to you.

Regarding the Karaoke Contest:

You should plan on bringing your own music. CD is best. Please be sure it is labelled with your name, song name, and track number. All music must be in Japanese OR from a Japanese anime ORfrom a Japanese game OR it can be an anime filk. (See the Karaoke Contest thread in the Contests forum for more details.)

If you want a karaoke machine, skip down to the Karaoke Room section below.

The maximum song length for karaoke will be the standard 5 minutes.

Some of you may have songs that go over by only 15-30 seconds. I apologize, but this is for your own good, as long songs are usually less fun for the audience, and they make it hard for us to finish on time. Most songs from anime add in several extra verses to lengthen the TV-length version. Try to find someone to edit your MP3 and cut out one verse.

I was originally planning on having CD music to choose from for improvised contest entries, but in light of how things have gone, I will probably not have much to offer you. I was originally offering to help potential entrants find karaoke versions of their songs, but no one contacted me in all of these weeks. :?

Regarding Open Mic:

Open Mic will run just like the Karaoke Contest, except that it will not be judged. There will be no prizes, rules, or pressure, and the signup will be a waiting list that will only be available once Open Mic starts.

Yes, you can sing whatever you like for Open Mic. It doesn't need to be Japanese.

Regarding the Karaoke Room:

Things look good for our Karaoke Room plans! When most of you first hear the word "Karaoke," you think of a karaoke machine. Karaoke Contests at conventions usually do not use a machine. Our convention will have one, though! However, it will not be used in the contest. The karaoke machine will have its own room to mess around in as you please. Bring your pals and come have some fun!

I have been informed that this will be a Japanese karaoke machine. Hopefully, this means that it will contain both Japanese pop songs and American pop songs, to cater to your language of preference.

If you have any questions, PM me!

I can't answer you if I don't see your post. Also check out the karaoke thread in the Contests forum if you want to see the most official karaoke rules information.

I'll bring all music from Ghost in the Shell: Standalone Complex, so no one needs to worry about that. (They're in mp3 version because the american release is currently going into recall, and I doubt I'll have a new copy before the Con.)

And no, before the Karaoke director asks, I won't be wanting them back because they'll be burned CD's (I am NOT bringing the official versions to a Con, they're $30+ each!! O.o ), so I don't care if anyone keeps them afterwards.

Thank you, Miss Frodo!

Oh, good point!

I HIGHLY recommend burning your song to a CD, so we don't risk losing it. Even better, burn a CD with your song as Track 1. The more confusion avoided, the better off we'll be.

Radien · « **Reply #17 on:** August 08, 2004, 04:27:11 am »

All that should be answered in the Karaoke Contest thread. See sig.

(Actually, I should change the name of that thread as it covers all the karaoke events now...)

Radien · « **Reply #18 on:** August 13, 2004, 02:03:44 am »

The official rules for the karaoke contest have been posted in the Contests forum. It also contains the newest news about karaoke and all the karaoke events. Just click the link in my signature and you'll be taken to the new thread.

There may be updates to these rules, but most of the expected updates are currently specified as "TBA." You can essentially consider everything you see there as official.

Pardon this double-post, but I wanted to make sure you guys saw the thread, since for some of you, it will affect your song plans.

After seeing the new karaoke-machine info, I can only say this--expect some definite filking action in about three weeks! (Can anybody say "new song(s)"? ^_^)
