@ the conductor: What's with the karate chop thing at 0:21??
My choir is pretty much more than amazing compared to this. Not being prejudice, but this choir lacks musical dynamics. lt's a little airy in some parts. The "Tenjiku agari shitareba tsun bakura ni sarawarebe" came in too fast and with intense feeling, but no mysterious complexion. This is good, but not amazing.
does any one else think this song is creepy as hell? like i imagine this in a scary japanese movie right before they get that one missed call or something,,,
the thing about really young choirs doing this is it would not be as clean as it needs to be. This song seems simple - but it would be a trainwreck if done sloppily. The cleaner the better on songs like this that require precision.
.. Gods the control on the flow and the dynamics is amazing. >: It's like.. woo. You can just tell this choir is amazing. ... And yeah, we're singing this too. xD; In fact, I think our teacher brought this one up as an example. We haven't gotten very far yet, but.. it does seem like it's gonna be pretty tough. .. ButI'mlookingforwardtoit. o/
i'm in 8th. we're doing it too. was it hard to get the round part in time? that sounds like the hard part. i can understand a lot of japanese so the words is the easy part
yeah im in 8th and we are singing it too what we did was sing it at the same time and got that perfect then put it in a round its a wonderful song for our top chior its a wonderful challange!! x3
we're singing this is choir too! our teacher told us to watch this vid and im so glad she told us! yuu guys are good at this. xD!
it soulds like it's fast, but it's actually a ripple.like one group gies first,than the second..thrid...it's all off by one beat.that's why it's so amazing!hehe
That was fabulous; the best I've seen. My middle choir is doing it this year (first time for me) and this will be required viewing! Thanks for sharing it.
OMG~! well this is sooo great~~ i loove the voice... rite now in ur choir we are doing this song.. but MUCH SLOWER and the boring version.. in english really..
love the ninja conductor!!. A litle bit fast but dynamics are fine. Too nervous interpretation.
