OfuroSmiling Video!

[stephieku]

The time is finally here, the final video for OfuroSmiling is up on Youtube!
And once again, thanks everyone for participating in #smiling2012 with us at Twitter!

What is OfuroSmiling?
During New Years, nikki (fascinates) suggested singing lines from halyosy's Smiling and tweeting them under the #smiling2012 tag at Twitter. Gianglh mixed a chorus version from the tweets and we had an overwhelming response of 47 singers! NatsutaP (natsuta) suggested making a video, and with the help of several illustrators, we have the finished video below!

You can view the lyrics and who sang what lines at this earlier entry. (Also includes special thanks from the mixer)
