Karaoke hopeful list! (...That sounds engrishy.)
So the time has come to plot karaoke madness for the year's cons... not that I haven't been doing it all along, but while driving around buying the last few things I needed to finish Sydney's outfit today, I was hit by various inspirations of varying brilliance.
Tsuzuki I can't really think of anything much for outside of Eden, which we've already done, but I wouldn't mind doing again. I don't think I'd wander around as Tsuzuki that much on my own (no fun without Hisoka), but a couple potential solo karaoke tracks for him... well, I'd love to be able to do the ending theme, just because it would be pretty impressive. And then there's Tender Sugar from Silent Hill 4, because the idea of Tsuzuki singing that makes me giggle. Also making me giggle is the idea of tracking down the song that he sang at karaoke in the manga, and purposely messing up the english lines. :D
I'm still thinking that with the Emishi outfit, it would be particularly hilarious to sing Sobakasu in a purposely squeaky voice. And involve props - I already have "usagi-chan" for the bridge, and could acquire "kaeru-chan" easily enough... It's just a matter of being able to master that first part that goes really fast. And I can always fall back on Bara wa Utsukushiku Chiru again, although I just did it at Otakon, and don't want to wind up doing the same thing over and over. ...And then there's the option of Suteki Da Ne, because really, that resfic idea cracked me the heck up. (Juubei gets to be Rikku!)
Still am highly amused by the idea of Masaki singing Hikari from Kingdom Hearts (thank you ever so much, ![[info]](http://library.vu.edu.pk/cgi-bin/nph-proxy.cgi/000100A/http/web.archive.org/web/20050505092901im_/http:/=2fstat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) pokeytax), so I should track down my MP3 of the normal version (not the seven minute dancey remix that was used in the opening sequence) and see what my vocal remover thingy does to that, because I'm pretty sure that there's no karaoke version of that. Also still think it would be amusing and yet strangely fitting to have him sing Bokutachi wa Tenshi Datta from Dragonball Z.
Was going to sing Twins as Ban, except that now I have no Ginji, so I can't. Evil Eyes is a possibility, if a rather predictable and not terribly impressive one (since half of it is in engrish english already). Ban would be a pretty good choice to sing L'arc~en~Ciel, I think, if I could actually find a karaoke version of Honey - my conversion program doesn't seem to like that song so much, and it cuts out rather integral parts, leaves in the lead vocals on the bridge, etc.
Finally... well, I had this thought, and I couldn't stop laughing thinking about it. Which means it might be a bad idea, because I may not be able to do it with a straight face. But... okay. Sydney singing Gackt's Vanilla would just be so, so... well, I can't decide if it's "so very wrong" or "so very perfect". XD
So here I must make an appeal to the friends list - does anyone have (or have the ability to get) a karaoke version of Sobakasu, Honey, Vanilla, or Bokutachi wa Tenshi Datta that they could send me? (Googling for MP3s sure doesn't work, and my computer can't handle file-sharing programs besides BT.) ...Of course, that's if they even exist - I'm not sure they do, except that googling did turn up discographies that said there are karaoke versions of Vanilla and Sobakasu... and I know most anime cons would probably have a karaoke version of the latter at least, but it would be good to have something to practice with.
*sniffs air* ...Oooh. I think I smell chocolate. *wanders off*
