OK, Batoto! After a rather interesting Skype call, I thought, "Batoto should have karaoke thread!"

That's right! We should totally sing our hearts out and display it for others! We could even sing in a chorus like those guys at Nico Nico Douga.
Here's an example of how amazing this could possibly be.



That's right, those are fans singing that. Not professional artists, but fans.

Even if we don't do as well as the amazing Nico Nico Chorus, we could still do good. Actually, it doesn't even matter how good we are! It's about F-U-N.

Here's an example of an English speaking group singing an anime song, for those who think, "IMPOSSIBRU! They must use Japanese magic to sound that good!"

Spoiler


We can even do remixes such as this next song.

Warning: Contains foul language

EDIT: Also, to clarify (because someone asked), solos ARE accepted. No matter how many people sing a song, it still counts. If you sing a song solo, you will still get support with editing as if you were in a group song.

I was actually thinking about the same thing sometime ago, I just didn't think that we could make it a collaborationwork
I think it would pretty awesome if we are able to pull something like nico nico douga or miku mix off =D.
A few problems I can think of would probably be, we need a person that knows how to edit voice clips well,
Maybe even a good recording program or mic to block out static.
Lastly, a few brave souls that willing to give it a try.

Is there any rules as to what language or song that you can sing?

Amazing indeed. I knew nico nico chorus since a few months ago.
Maybe even qualify as a circle. ^_^
Have you think about which song?

Can you guess what Grumpy reaction will be?
If you made a chorus video for batoto

Wanna do touhou doujin music? XD jking probably butcher their song pretty badly ; _ ;
Depending on the if there are set rules to this, I'm not exactly sure.
I do have some creative suggestion or twist to this.
For example, maybe some people aren't confident with their voice but are good at whistling could whistle parts and beats to a song and combined with other people that would like to whistle.
Maybe not limit it to karaoke but music itself, if anyone knows any musical instruments could record and combine with others for a single song.

Touhou songs? that is a good idea.
It has to be the one with vocal then

You know...
There is Youtube Chorus, too
I posted this link a few months back.

That's what the Nico Nico Medley did. There were songs that some of them didn't know, so they just hummed along.

I'm not really sure I can organize everything. I just wanted to make the topic, as no one else had. As the saying goes, "If you build it, they will come".
I have a pretty good mic. It's not the best, but I don't get static. I'm not the best singer, though. But that won't stop me. ^_^

As for rules, I don't think there should be any limit to what we sing. Essentially, I envisioned this as a fun project for those in the community who want to do it. We could sing songs from our childhood, or from recent anime. The Skies, the limit.

We could totally do something like Touhou. Touhou isn't about singing well, just look at IOSYS. It's about fun.

I like your spirit. I'm not really a singer either, but this sounds like a lot of fun.

We are pretty much set with people willing to try =D
Just waiting for somebody that is familiar with synthesizer, editing and layering voice samples and is willing to help us out.
Does anyone know any recording software similiar to vocaloids?

Recording software similar to vocaloids? Vocaloids are artificial. No one is actually singing in a vocaloid song. It's all artificial.
However, if you want to sound like a vocaloid, I suggest Melodyne. Out of all the vocaloid sounding programs, it's the one I've seen the most success with.

Example:
Spoiler

Don't worry, she sounds more and more like a vocaloid as the song goes on.

Also, I hear you can make the effect in Adobe Audition, Audacity and GarageBand. As for recording Audio, any of the software I just listed works. I've also heard some positive reviews of NCH Audio Essentials, but I'm not 100% positive about it as from what I can see, not as many people use it or make tutorials for it.

No problem! Most of those cost money (unless you pirate them). If you want to use a free and legal audio software, I'd say use Audacity. It can do pretty much everything we'd need.

I'm familiar with Audacity, ashamed to say I've only been using it to make ringtones or change file extension ^^U
Basically, we are free to submit anything, whether its single or collab, as long as we have fun. Sounds great =)
Do you have any song in mind to start things off first?

Well, I'd suggest ANY song you find close to your heart or that you enjoy.

If there's an anime you like, go with that.

As for my personal choice....
Warning, extremely lame and geeky song
Spoiler


Here are also a few suggestions by genre.

Old School anime pop: Sakura Saku off the Love Hina Sound Track
New anime pop: StudyxStudy by StylipS (the single with Karaoke comes out on 2/8/2012)
Slow song: Hiru no Tsuki by Akino Arai. It comes in English and Japanese.
Hip Hop remix: No Reply by Yoko Kanno and Steve Conte (Instrumental remix by Wy-i)
Sad Song: You Are My Love by Kajiura Yuki and Eri Itoh. It comes in Japanese and English.
Touhou song: Cirno's Perfect Math Class by IOSYS
Touhou song alt: HELP ME ERINNNNNN!!! by COOL&CREATE
Meme song: Fukkireta (we'd probably want a Japanese speaker to make custom lyrics for us)
Easier Meme song: Renai Circulation by Kana Hanazawa (perhaps Neko96 remix)

I personally looked up each song to make sure they all had karaoke version of them.
For more inspiration, there are tons of good songs on Nico Nico Douga.

Nahh not geeky at all =) It would quite interesting what it sounds like in all different language. So far I only heard 3 and they don't sound remotely similar XD

Man Love Hina brings good memories / w \ Now you remind me of old legends.. I feel like listening Slam Dunk theme song XD
There are almost too many good songs in Nico Nico douga.

At the beginning, I was thinking of touhou bad apple since it is one of the most well known piece.
I'll see what I can do =9

Anyone else interesting, please feel free to join =)

Oh, yeah. If anyone wants to do a collab, just ask. We'll see what we can do. Even though some of us are noobs, that won't stop us from trying. The more songs we pump out, the more people are likely to join.

Oh yeah, I'm willing to talk about and help with anyone regarding this over Skype. So if you have Skype, and want to talk, ask mundane questions or anything else you might not want to talk about in this thread, just hit me up.

If you're too lazy to check my profile for my Skype username, here it is: inuyoukai_assassin

Effort is all we need. Practice makes perfect, so we can improve together and make this work. Perhaps as we experiment, we can give each other tips and make this even better. ^_^

This looks like a lot of fun, but I sing terribly and only have a decent headset meant for speaking. I can help with editing, though . Anything more than audacity, and I'll need a little instruction. My percussion skills might might prove useful in syncing, though.
