OfuroSmiling!

[stephieku]

Thanks everyone for participating in #smiling2012 with us at Twitter! We got all the lines we need! Sorry if you couldn't participate this time, maybe we'll do something similar in the future! 

We are celebrating the brand new year of 2012 by singing our favorite lines from halyosy's "Smiling". There was quite a response and Gianglh (@gianglh) suggested making an ofurotaimu chorus version combining the contributions on Twitter.

However, we're missing a few lines, we're looking for people to sing the following lines:

Updated lines we need!:
We need more people to sing:

Respectable MOTTAINAI
気付くのは他でもない Respectable mottanai,
Kizuku no wa hokademo nai (Neet Megane's line)

こんなご時世だからこそ笑って未来へと歩こう
Konna gojisei dakara koso waratte mirai e to arukou (Mitani's line)

みんな笑えば門に福来たる　ささやかな今を
Minna waraeba kado ni fuku kitaru sasayaka na ima wo 　(Sekihan's line)

And!!
And as many people singing "Smiling together will be together" "Nico Nico Douga" in different keys!

Feel free to keep on submitting lines, even if they have been done before :) But the lines mentioned above are our priority! Also, if you don't want your soundfile to be used, or you want to redo it, please let us know in the comments or via Twitter! Don't hesitate to ask questions! :)

Btw, I'm sorry If I sound too demanding, but if you have time, can you sing the two lines "Respectable mottanai" and "Kizuku no wa hokademo nai" too? :3

[chiiyoko]

Is there a limit to how many lines you can post? OwO I really love this song! QwQ so I wanna join in too! (づ￣ ³￣)づ
Also, is there a deadline? .w.

[fascinates]

Nope, there is no limit XD But please don't sing the whole song~.
I am not sure if Stephie and Gianglh have set a deadline but the sooner you can upload, the better :)

[arya3087]

/w-wants to join...but asdfgahs my singing sounds kinda terribad ;A;
Is it too late now?

[fascinates]

It's definitely not too late! :) Just post your upload via twitter using the hashtag or if you don't want it posted openly by itself, just post it in a comment here.

[attie]

Oh man, I have never in my life wished more that I could hold a damn pitch. But whatever I warble is not in any key known to man, so I'll have to pass. I'm eagerly looking forward to the results though!

[stephieku]

Same :'D My line was pretty bad even after practicing hours in my closet, but since it's going to be gdgd from different keys and tempos, don't worry about it!

[yagami-miya.livejournal.com]

I suppose I'll try to sing along, if it's not too late ^^

[(Anonymous)]

Of course it's not too late :3
Ah and please try to sing in the right pitch :3 And better submit as soon as possible cuz I will be kinda dead busy in the next few days XDD
Btw, it would be nice if you could sing the line "Smiling together, will be together" and "niconico douga" too. That would help a lot :D

[pengy]

Hmm not sure if you wanted higher volume+noise or just lower volume-noise... so I turned down my mic gain to reduce noise but it came out very quiet. Hopefully this is helpful http://www.box.com/s/fz3trein2o1xx2nx4x3k Stay smiling!

[recordist]

I found out about this so late orzzz. I'm interested in doing this! but I'm not sure which lines are within my capabilities QvQ;; /not good at rapping or strong voices like Mitani orz

If the lines are not taken, do you mind if I let you know later today? I... need to muster up some courage for it. ;v;

[stephieku]

No prob! Plus we need a few people per line :) You're welcome to do already done lines if they're easier for you! Good luck!

[natsuta]

Not sure the line I posted on twitter is in the right pitch and tempo, do u want me to submit again??

[stephieku]

If you have time, that would be great!

[(Anonymous)]

Thank you :3 I will try to choose the best ones to use~ The Niconico douga part is not a big deal because everyone is singing it together~
