I hope I'll make it to next round. I got 6.x points from each judge and now I'll need 4.3 from charles or sth like that to pass. I hope I will pass, cause I got a huge cold last time and couldn't sing that stuff properly and next time I'll be in better shape and do good stuff.

I wanted to use a cover I made before but that's with an echo I used so it's not valid. Well I think I'll make it so everything will work fine. But I still wanna show the one I could have used if it wouldn't have been for that silly echo stuff...

So if someone wants to listen to it go ahead. Or ignore it. But I just wanted to show this to someone. Sorry...

I mean this song. This text is a link and you can click it.

Let's hope you get a good enough score, then. ^___^

I'm nervous for his score because I'd like to be in the top 5, but it's looking unlikely, now that I've slipped into 6th. u.u

I hope I'm in at least the top 10, tbh.

I wouldn't worry too much about that. Your singing was good, and the scores reflect that. ^___^

Just looked that the stage themes.. 3rd round be rock/metal.. *stares* *STARES* q.q If I do make it to 3rd round, that will be pretty interesting to sing..

I'm totally good to go with J-Pop, it's rock/metal that will screw me up. I'm not sure if I should sing in English, because my accent is disgusting. But I can't find any good Japanese rock/metal songs are easy to sing, or don't require harmonies. Maybe I'll do a Vocaloid rock song if I make it through. We'll see.

Imo it would be better if you just put "pop genre" or "rock genre" instead of [insert-country-here]-[music genre] regardless.
That wouldn't make people be so focused on Japan music. (I thought it had to be j-songs because of it until I listened to some other submissions. Welp haha)

I never tried singing Japanese but I think I'll try for next round. I just don't really know what j-pop really is. Is it really just japanese pop-music? And I don't know when pop starts and it becomes rock. And is a pop ballad allowed?

Like this:

Or is Kalafina still j-pop? And stuff... I am not that sure. Could we have a definition of j-pop? Or general of pop? Or should I just use the wikipedia one, which says that everything can be pop if you are brave enough.

J-pop (often stylized as J-POP; Japanese: ジェイポップ jeipoppu; an abbreviation for Japanese pop), natively also known simply as pops, is a musical genre that entered the musical mainstream of Japan in the 1990s. Modern J-pop has its roots in traditional Japanese music, but significantly in 1960s pop and rock music, such as The Beatles and The Beach Boys, which led to Japanese rock bands such as Happy End fusing rock with Japanese music in the early 1970s.[1] J-pop was further defined by new wave groups in the late 1970s, particularly electronic synthpop band Yellow Magic Orchestra and pop rock band Southern All Stars.[2] Eventually, J-pop replaced kayōkyoku ("Lyric Singing Music", a term for Japanese pop music from the 1920s to the 1980s) in the Japanese music scene.[3] The term was coined by the Japanese media to distinguish Japanese music from foreign music, and now refers to most Japanese popular music. The musical genre has been immensely influential in many other music styles, and hence those of neighboring regions, where the style has been copied by neighboring Asian regions, who have also borrowed the name to form their own musical identities.

This is from wikipedia. Does this work?
There's also a list of j-pop artists and even Yousei Teikoku are in it. So this is it then?
