[project] Video for Ayu

[yabieru]

With all the recent news and seeing the hashtag #WeLoveYouAyu that Tio/Tayumi kindly created, it came to my mind that it would be a good idea to do a video for Ayu, showing her our love and saying to her that we'll be always by her side. What do you think?

First idea

Spoiler:

I thought a good idea would be that we record ourselves singing an Ayu song that we choose. I think, the perfect choice is who... because of the lyrics

You don't have to sing the entire song because in the final video only a part of each video will be shown but it's better because maybe some parts of the song could be missed. If you are too shy to sing (like me) you could lipsync (for your life!) because the final video will have the original Ayu song And you can record yourself wherever and however you want: in your house, at the street, in selfie mode, with an Ayu T-Shirt, with friends...

At the end you could show a piece of paper with a message for Ayu so I'll put all together in the final part of the song (you know the ahh.. ahh... part xD). And if we are all smiling much better!

For a set date, I think the... 31st? So I can make the video before I start my exams. Everyone who wants to join please send me the video at yabieru@hotmail.com with your name or nickname and your country

SPREAD THE WORD!

EDIT: If you are too shy and don't want to sing, but want to join it anyway, you could do like @~angel*ayumi~ said:

There are also some parts in the song without text, so we can fill this time up with ppl that are too shy to sing, or with pictures of ppl who don´t want to record themselves but want to send in pictures.

EDIT 25/5

Seeing all the ideas people are giving and thinking of the ones who cannot record themselves or sing I thought in change a couple of things in the video in able to make it more “cohesive” and easy to participate for everyone.

 Instead of sing or lip-sync the song we could show the lyrics of who… (like in Perfume MV which pedronekoi shared) but in papers. I’ll display the lyrics and you have to choose one verse and take a picture of yourself showing it. Please tell in a post which line you choose and I'll be editing this post to add your name. For the 2 parts of the song with no lyrics I have 2 ideas:

- The part in the middle: We can show papers with memories related to Ayu like “In January 12th I met you”, “With voyage I met my boyfriend” or simply “My favorite song is Microphone”. Things like that
- The part in the end: The same first idea we had. Show messages encouraging Ayu. Whatever you want to write

I change the video for pictures because I think it's easier to everyone to just take some pictures than record themselves.

And, that’s it. If you want to join please, send your 3 pictures with your name or nickname and your country to yabieru@hotmail.com.
Please, spread the word in blogs, social media… WE CAN MAKE IT TOGETHER!

Great idea! I try to take part if I don't forget the lyrics again xD Is it okay if I sing with Ayu's voice in the background?

What about everyone holding a sheet of paper with from where they're from though?

[pedronekoi]

I like that idea! It would be really sweet

Perfume did this lyrics video with videos from fans and I really like the concept!

[Violently Happy]

That sounds like such a good idea, but how long would the video need to be? Like 30 seconds? ^^

[DonkeyKongRemix]

This sounds like an AMAZING idea. I would love to participate!

[yabieru]

@Tio/Tayumi It doesn't mind because I'll put Ayu's version of "who..." over the video. Our voices doesn't sound actually. At first I thought it would be better if we actually sing but maybe people doesn´t feel good singing at camera so I decided that way. But final choice is yours, I don't really mind...
About the paper thing I'll put everyone's countries when they appears so don't worry ^^ If you want you could put yours in your paper message

@pedronekoi I didn't know that video! Very sweet idea. At first I thought something that everyone could interact (like pass papers with the lyrics one to another or something like that) but it would be too dificult so I decided something more simple

@Violently Happy That depends on you. The best would be recording all the song so I can ensure we fill it completely. Imagine everyone sings the chorus and no one the first verse xD But if you want to record less time don't worry. I'll make something xD

@nalini-dahlia Yay!

[Aderianu]

what part of lyrics should we sing?

[Linza-mo]

Great idea !

[AyuWorld]

Wow so nice, but yeah im a bit shy to sing and record myself in front of the camera lol

But i'll try, so we can sing the whole song and you choose it later right?

[Linza-mo]

I'm shy front of a camera too, can we write the lyrics like in perfume' mv ? =D

[Aderianu]

To obvious to copy exactly the same idea with hands. Maybe we can merge it with under the same sky somehow?

[~angel*ayumi~]

We could also just play the song in the background without actually singing, I mean who wnats to sing can, but who wants not can do other things, just record themselfs outside with an Ayu shirt, or in their romms with some of their Ayu collection.
There are also some parts in the song without text, so we can fill this time up with ppl that are too shy to sing, or with pictures of ppl who don´t want to record themselves but want to send in pictures.

[kendelle]

I'd like to do this if I have enough time I'd be happy to record a short clip!

[yabieru]

@Aderianu You can sing the entire song or the part you like the most. If many people join it I don't think some parts of the song are lost

@AyuWorld Yep!

@Linza-mo if you are too shy to sing you could do what @~angel*ayumi~ said. Just record yourself showing a message from Ayu or show the sky. Whatever you want. I didn't remember the parts in the middle of the song where nobody sings so I like the idea of fill it with people that doesn't want to sing i'm gonna edit the first post.
