It's done. Enjoy. Happy (5 days late) 20th anniversary.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ouVPeqXKORI
>>2893781195 days ago was the 20th anniversary of Welcome to the N.H.K.!To celebrate this, I organized an /a/ sings for one of its most popular soundtrack. I think I've waited 3 or 4 years to do this.Thanks to every anon that has submitted something. It genuinely means a lot.There wasn't much time for this, so I'm sorry if you couldn't sing in time.If you hate anons talking over the beautiful harmonica and sax part (you shouldn't, they are half the charm), here's a version without them:https://files.catbox.moe/40hr8x.oggIf you don't think you can hear yourself in the mix, or just prefer these in general, here's a version without the original instrumental:https://files.catbox.moe/c10tod.oggOtherwise, I zipped everything if you want to archive it somewhere:https://files.catbox.moe/thlcyz.zip (ogg)https://files.catbox.moe/illxzg.zip (flac for the audio quality autists)https://files.catbox.moe/rjocps.zip (flac, without anons talking)The mix itself is a bit too rough on the edges for my taste. It's been a while since I've done this, but it was still very fun to make. I know I'm going to regret this and notice all sorts of mistakes but I prefer to release it on time. I still hope you enjoyed it.Have a good day.
Beautiful
Good job mixer-san!
>>289378420Finally, if you liked the project and the experience, please consider participating in other /a/ sings, or any other collaborative project on /a/ for that matter. Even your small contribution can help considerably.There is currently another /a/ sings going on for the OP of Yuri Kuma Arashi. For more info >>289294141
>>289378726I just noticed anon made a fanart in the other thread. Sorry, I didn't saw you in time, even though I was the one that asked for it.
>>289378119thanks for organizing an /a/ sings for one of my favorite anime of all time. it's beautiful, i'm tearing up just listening to it.
thanks for putting this together OP, even though I didn't contribute know that I'm singing with you guys from my bocchi room.
>>289378119Joyous
>>289378119Sounds amazing, good job anon.
>>289378119KINOwe're all gonna make it, anons
I hate that I was way too shy. I can barely hear myself, but I guess that's because this was my first time, and submitting it right at the deadline probably didn't help.It's a shame since this is one of my favorite songs, but oh well. Next time something I like comes up I'll make sure to be more louder and autistic. Thanks OP, great work
>>289379745>but I guess that's because this was my first time, and submitting it right at the deadline probably didn't helpI don't remember making this post. I don't like being in this post.
>>289378119>>289378420Awesome, thanks for doing this!
I won't be as sad listening to this versionLove you all
>>289379776Heh, at least we both broke our /a/ sings hymen now. I should've kept my promise and went into my car to sing like the other guy, but I tarded out and decided to use a 15 year old microphone at home.
are there any draw ones planned?
>>289379909>>289379745Also broke my /a/ sings hymen. I only sang, but next time I'll be sure to add some personality.I'll be a real slut for /a/ sings in the future, if you know what I mean~
>>289378119>>289378420Would you mind making a pack of all the seperate singers? I want to hear what everyone said
>>289380016Better not. Having anons' individual song files might make it easier to identify them.
>>289380108What's the point? A lot of anons, posted their recordings in the treads and in 3-4 years time OP's gmail password is going to be leaded and everything that was sent to him will be publically agvailable anyways and by that point in time a lot of anons posting in these threads will be dead already.
>>289380108Naruhodo, thanks anyways>>289380216Wrong, they'll be enjoying life with their very own angel
>>289380108GOOD
>>289380216Joke's on you, but I will be with my Misaki wife who's gonna show up soon.
>>289379745>>289379776Everyone has a solo or a duet part in the song (except that one anon that only sang the chorus). I tried my best to make everyone audible, but some anons were particularly difficult to adjust (like always, although). Unfortunately, there weren't many lyrics this time so it was a bit too cramped to give everyone space to express themselves. I'm very sorry you feel disappointed because I went through that myself in other /a/ sings.It's also frustrating as a mixer. Having to cut 70% of every anon's vocals, that is. Sometimes you want to highlight one unique performance, but that anon will then overshadow the group, or you'll have to sacrifice another good performance for that part. Or sometimes it's the opposite: one specific part is the only place where one anon is good at, so you have to give it to them. It's all compromises.>>289380016I don't think I have the moral right to share these publicly. Maybe send me an email if you really want them and I can share the raw vocals, but I won't post them here.
>>289380603Could be worse. I didn't sing for NHK, but I've sang once for /a/ sings and once for /v/ sings and my parts never even made the cut for some reason
>>289378119Good stuff, thanks for putting it together. Was fun as usual, but I really need to stop recording last minute.Only just realized you were the anon that put together the one for Psycho-Pass ED1 which was the first /a/ sings I finally got up the nerve to do, so thanks again for that one too.
>>289380603It's alright. If anything, it's a call for me to be more expressive and energetic. I'm just glad I had an opportunity to bond with other anons, as well as to be a part of something. This is probably the only eventful thing I did all year. Also, with 33 people, I'm sure it was difficult trying to get everybody heard in such a short song
>>289380016>anon wants to hear my late night drunken ramblings
>>289378119Thanks for putting this together OPI appreciate you EQing my voice to be deeper.
>>289380603I could still hear myself in one of the duets and in the chorus although it's hard to tell since I'm not used to hearing my own voice as a third party lolBut it was a great job, anon. I think it was cool to have duets / solos in the song, other /a/ songs usually have everyone sing the whole song.
Damn, it's nice to see people still doing /a/ sings like this, good shit anons.
>>289381028I feel like this also needs to be said, but I apologize to the organizer for submitting mine so late. My recording in particular had some background noise too, so I don't want to come off as complaining when this was entirely my fault.
>>289378119>>289378420Thank you again for organizing the whole thing. It's my first time collaborating in any of these singing projects so I had a big dumbass grin on my face when I identified my fuckass voice, sorry for such a low quality recording and amazing job managing to make it fit in with the rest. I'm not an audio type of guy but the final mix sounds real dope and I shall keep it in my imageboard music folder for posterity.>The mix itself is a bit too rough on the edges for my taste.Which parts of it do you think could be improved upon? Out of curiosity
Does one need to be a member of some shadowy discord cabal in order to put on an /a/ sings?I have a useless audio engineering certificate and I think it'd be fun practice to do one.
>>289378119we sound so sexy anons, thanks OP! This was alot of fun! ;D
>>289381795Can't you just make a burner email for submissions, a thread and then wait for them? I guess the more beloved the anime the easier it'll be to get them/keep the threads alive, these Youkoso Hitori Bocchi threads lived off bumps for days until dying to the misfortune of everyone being too busy to bump at the same time. Just go for whatever you want
>KAMPAI, YOU BITCHES
>>289381795As the other anon said I'm sure you just put up a thread and see where it goes from there. I don't think some gay dicksword group exists
>>289381776>Which parts of it do you think could be improved upon? Out of curiosityIt's mostly details. Like some vocals could need a bit more gain. Some EQ should be better tuned for smoother transitions. Some breaths are too loud. The reverb I applied was a bit lazy. Etc… I also envisioned something a bit more moodier. But all that is my autism speaking, to be honest.>>289381795>cabalNope. I know some previous mixers have kept contact but I'm doing things on my own, for instance. You just do it and pray for anons to be interested. With that said, if you'd like to practice, I can send you the vocals I got for the /a/ sings I've previously mixed. Same as the other anon, just send me an email.
Wonderful job, mixer-san.
>>289378119So sovlful it hurts
>>289378119>>289378420that was great
The "Hitori Bocchi" chorus sounds orgasmic. I got teary-eyed upon the realization that a group of people is singing about loneliness ... together.
>>289381795The hardest part is judging how long to wait until people are in the mood to participate. They can fizzle through no fault of your own. Ganbare anon.
>>289380603>except that one anon that only sang the chorusHe He, that's me. But, thinking about it, I really should have put more effort to this. It was my first time participating and I sounded like I was a depressed man almost near to killing himself. Anyway, the final result was beautiful.
>>289384951>I sounded like I was a depressed man almost near to killing himselfThat's the energy the best parts of the show have so it's ok
Thank you, Mixer-san!
>>289379922I think the anon who organized /a/ draws Duvet said they might do Gurren Lagann but who knows, OC projects are a dying breed.But I'm glad this /a/ sings turned out so well, it was fun recording my vocals.
>hear my ramblings at the endI don't feel so hitori bocchi now!
>>289386977Which one were you?
>>289381795Just go for it. It is good to be able to contact other /a/ sings mixers if necessary, and good to know what other projects are ongoing (at the moment I think it's just Yuri Kuma Arashi), but you absolutely don't need anyone's permission.
>>289378119Good job mixer-kun and everyone who submitted
>>289385212>>289384951yeah apparently I sounded depressed according to anons, but I'm the most happy go-lucky guy I know. I think the mic and tone of the song makes us sound heavier than we are.
cheers everynyan, and happy holdayst. time traveler from christmas r/a/dio 2026p.s. good work mixer-dono, love the end result, and it wouldn't have been possible without all (You) other anons contributing, too
>>289381042
>>289383692You're here forever, so you'll never be alone.
>>289378119>>289378420It is pure soul.
>>289378119It's beautiful Anon. Thanks for putting this on! Was my first /a/ sings and I actually heard myself a few times. Thanks for taking my /a/ sings virginity
>>289383692It's poetic anon... but don't worry, your Misaki gf is waiting for you somewhere!
>>289381795You could ask for vocaroo links too, but some anons are shy and don't want the 20 other anons to hear their voice unmixed
>>289387281All me
>>289389547Sasuga anon.
So it seems I missed one anon that has submitted vocals. (Not his fault, I'm just fucking stupid.)I'll post a corrected version soon and will delete the previous video after the thread dies.My apologies.
>>289390501kekat least everyone will be added
>>289390501Truly the Hitoribocchi himself
>>289382013Whoever did this is a fucking legend.
>>289387281I'm the one who said this isn't like my bocchi the rock and asked if anyone feeling hitori bocchi
>>289388973e-eroi....
>>289378119>>289378420>>289392027Here's a hotfix version. I tweaked a few other things while I was at it. (And of course, I've noticed other mistakes after I uploaded it.)https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5wAJau9YguwDownload links: https://rentry.co/fpqyu8xfOnce again, my sincere apologies to the two anons I've missed. I honestly feel bad about it. For the first anon, I put him in a folder with a name very similar to another anon so I thought I had already added his tracks. For the second, .m4a files are not listed on Ardour. Usually I simply convert them as soon as I download them, but I forgot this time around.
>>289392211meant to quote >>289390501I think I need some sleep.
>>289392223Go to bed mixer-san, you've done enough for us today
>>289392211HOLY SHIT ANON, YOU MISSED LIKE 14 GUYS, HOW DID YOU EVEN MANAGE TO MISS THAT MANY GUYS???
>>289378119will you ever do another /a/ sings
>>289392413Nope, it's over, we're done, sorry. Better luck in your next reincarnation
>>289378420>The harmonica solo
Anyone else getting 0 byte downloads from the catbox?
Sing!
>>289393886Yeah, looks like the download links for the new version are broken.

>>289402058shitbox stops working every other day, it pisses me off so much. There's pone.rs is a great alternative but it's not flawless either
>>289401747man he is the reason i still remember kana in 2026
>>289390501>>289392211Holy shit dude thank you. I genuinely thought I was just being too quiet during the chorus, and didn't expect you to go out of your way to make a new track for me.Don't beat yourself up too much over it, I should really stop doing things last minute so often. But at least now, I'm immortalized as THE hitoribocchi anon along with the other guy.It's beautiful, even more so for me now that I can hear my whiny voice of a man. Thank you so much for your work.
kanpaiyou fucks
>>289402250anon! ;D
20 years? How time flies, how have you been anon? Surely in those 20 YEARS you have worked out, got a high paying job, bought a home and lost your virginity.I mean, you can't be the same old loser after all these years, right? RIGHT?!?
SUKI! <3
>>289378119this is hella gay fr
>>289392413I have nothing planned so farI'd really like to do more recent anime, even FOTM seasonal, because I think they also deserve attentionI want to organize something for Symphogear someday too but I'd need a good opportunityDo you guys want something in particular?
>>289378119>>289378420Thanks!
>>289405716Los Los Los would be really fun

was there ever an /a/ sings kenzen robo daimidaler
>>289381795No, just make threads frequently and hope you get enough submissions. Time frame doesn't really matter, /a/ Sings + Draws Duvet took a year, give or take>anon who organized an /a/ Sings
>>289386442Yes. You're right. I'm planning to do an /a/ draws of Gurren Lagann, and I think it's time to put that plan into motion. The show aired starting from April 1, 2007, and I wanna hopefully reach that same date by 2027 to release the /a/ draws. Seeing as /a/ draws Lain took a year. I think now is a good time to start.Please give me a few days to gather the frames and prepare everything needed to ensure the project goes smoothly. Expect a thread to be up by Saturday.

>>289405716Orb op?
>>289378119>>289378420Shit, you actually did nail the noise canceling on my shit mic. Thanks for the hard work anon.
>>289408045>I wasn't even born yet.I thought this thread would be the unction.
>>289378119>>289392211Genuinely 10/10Absolutely transcendent I honestly have no words for how emotional this is getting me, to have sung this with everyone. Drinking to this and thinking of watching together with everyone in 2024 is giving me genuine warmth.
>>289404436I've only gotten fatter and NONE OF YOU CAN STOP ME
>>289406560for me, its baka survivor
had a lot of fun with all you anons. Now that I think about it, I wish I would've went somewhere secluded to scream like Satou near the end of my recording. Let's hope for a slightly less shittier 2026, and that we still have a place to congregate when the 2030s roll around.
