AYU ALBUM PROJECT?!!!!

[myway25]

Hi guys, I'm usually a lurker here at AHS but after the success of A WORLD IS ONE fanbook and the DVD project-I've thought of another project we could do.

My idea is that for Ayu's next B-DAY, we give her all the albums from ASFXX-whatever new album she released this year. The difference is, it will be our vocals instead.

This is a tentative outline i've made up.

Here are the albums we will include (I say we disregard remix album because it'll just get too complicated)

ASFXX
LOVEppear
DUTY
I am
Memorial Address + misc releases such as Part of Me
Rainbow
MY STORY
(Miss)understood
Secret
Guilty
Next Level
[NEW ALBUM]

Then we divide the songs (only original mix) from these albums into 3 categories

1.Songs with legit instrumentals
2.Songs without instrumentals but have instrumental midi (like those Orgel/ piano ones)
3.Song with either

FOR 1. Everyone can submit their cover of the song. But you must use ayu's instrumental. Try to get as clear a recording as possible (perhaps all at 320kbps and with no outside noises, buzzing, etc) Each person can submit one cover per every song. At the end of the submission period, we can hold numerous polls and whoever's version gets the most votes gets to be included in the CD.

FOR2. I'm a little unsure about this. I was thinking either narrations, or rewrite the lyrics in your own language and sing it (since there won't be any preexisting backup vocals). For narration, everyone can write spoken accompaniment to the midi and we'll do the whole polling thing. For the latter, you have to provide a translation of the lyrics and we'll do the polling thing again. For both of these cases, we must pick which midi we will use first – so there won't be any timing confusion. Same with the 320kbps rule

FOR3. For the musicians! You can use own instruments and record a cover. I can only submit ONE file per every song, so decide whether you want to sing in it or not. Same with the 320kbps rule

SPECIAL CASES... For songs like Who, My All, Red Line, it'd be really great if we can do the choir thing. Also, for fun songs like Boys & Girls, we can do the whole back and forth between audience and ayu, except reversed! The parts she usually makes us sing, we'll keep her vocal, her parts, we'll sing.
If this project manages to take off, we'll do a polling of which songs we'll sing in choir form (in addition to the individual cover.)
For the album art, etc -my idea is to replicate it but we draw it (whether using CG or hand-drawn) and where we usually has the lyrics, we'll put in the sing/musician of each respective song and a tiny bio for each of them. Naturally, for the ones in different languages, there'll be a translation of the lyrics in ***/ENG.

In the end, when we've decided on whose covers and all, we'll get them onto their respective album, make the cover art and booklet and send all the albums to ayu along with a book describing what it is and why we did it, and etc!

Obviously, this requires a lot of planning and teamwork and dedication.

First of all, I'd like to know whether you guys are interested in this idea.

If yes, then I'd say we figure out the categories and then set a date for submissions. Once ayu's b-day is Oct 2. I was thinking we stop accepting submissions by beginning of August, that way, we can go through all the polling and the booklet design and packaging.

So yeah, let me know what you think!!

PS. All of the details are tentative---much of it still need to be figured out.
Also, it's be great if we can get some people in charge of the various aspects of this project.
