[project] ~ A WORLD IS ONE ~ DVD

[majrakun]

I'm not sure whether I should speak Malay or English in the video. lol. Maybe I should just mix them up, like I do in real life, I guess. Haha.

Will you guys make japanese subtitles as well? If there is anyone who is fluent in Japanese and could help with subtitles that would be great.

And I agree wholeheartedly on the lipdubbing for Who... Or even better, all of us actually singing it, and then we compile all the voices together, make us sound like a chorus, the way the audience does in the concerts when they sing poker face to her <3 To make it easy, maybe we could like, let the instrumental play, and then all of us would appear for the final chorus or something...

For the lipdubbing, I was imagining all the tiny videos compiled on one screen, from all the different countries in the world singing Who... together. *sigh* That would be amazing. Thinking about this is making me cry already, haha. I definitely hope this project would be a success!

[Zoe88]

this idea is great!

i want to participate, too! i'm from germany

[aura~]

* Hatix has received an e-mail from an australian girl who says that she would be able to translate everything to japanese for the subtitles, so well I still doesn't have a comfirmation about this but it seems that finnaly we will have japanese subs!! STILL send the english text with your clip!!! That girl will translate fron you english texts!

well, if you do separate clips, I think it's better, you know, 1 clip - 1 fan, but well i don't think it will be a problem to do 1 clip for 2 fans ^^ Do as you want yeah ^^

wow, I think it would make ayu cry T____T there's a lot of idea.. lipping the song, singing ourselves, alone, alltogether... pff... I think i like the idea of a lot of small window with everyone's face singing together who... and keep changing.. I don't knwo how many people would want to do the who... thing but if we are a lot it's imposible to make 5 words per person cause we would need a 30 minute long song XDD

i'll ask them to send to me and then i'll forward all to hatix

yea! copy everything!! ^^ it's ok

[majrakun]

I would love to join in the singing, but I don't want to be alone! XD I'm not a very good singer, lol, Ayu might just...cringe! Hahaha. Which is why I definitely wouldn't mind just having a tiny part of the screen, lol.

I understand there would be a lotttt of us. Just have all of us sing, and then the editing team could always just select some parts. I would love to volunteer to do this if only I have the right software. So far, I only have audacity and Sony Vegas, and I still need to explore it hmmm.

I don't know, I just think Ayu would be watching the credits with the Who... instrumental, and then she would be (pleasantly) surprised when she hears all of us sing at the end~! I was just so touched when everyone started singing Who... during her AT08 MC for her 10th anniversay, and I wished we could do something like that.

I hope we could all get a copy of the finalised DVD as well, upload the .avi or .vob, haha.

i think it would be a great idea. And I also want a copy of the DVD!! haha

@YUIAyuNamieUtada LOOOOOOOL But I think it wouldn't be as weird doing something like that in front of Sagrada Familia. People in Barcelona are used to this kind of concentrations and no one cares =P hahahaha

I don't think we'd be signing, heh. We'd be lip-syncing to the song

In this way, with the Japanese subs, the videos would appear much more personal to Ayu as she could watch them in total privacy on her own

Hatix received an e-mail from his friend in Australia saying she'd be able to the do the Japanese subtitles

[LizBrazil]

Count me in, Laura

Laura, there is already a video of a few of us in London. LOL, what would be weird if you do evolution in front of Sagrada Familia?

Credits: Hatix

PS: we did this all the way until Oxford Underground Station xD

I'm already on the "production" team of this project, and I'm trying collect as many videos as possible, for possible use somewhere.
And there should be footage of that, all the way to oxford circus. @Elia, been able to up that yet?

That bonus dvd will be filled with a lot of stuff... ;p
Maybe some funny bloopers too (if anyone wants to send those) ;p

[Neo Daydream]

yay! I didn't contribute to the book so I'm really excited to add something to the DVD! ^^ I'm in!

[AyuHamasaki01]

OMG, I WANNA PARTICIPATE~~~~

XD please I'm from the Netherlands as you can see

I'm so excited!!

[~Saru]

RIGHT
i've done my video...
i had to do it through webcam because i finially got my mic to work
hopefully you can convert it!
i shall email it, sometime tomorrow with what i said within the email so subtitles can be made

[Dustie]

Nice to see more initiatives from the worldwide community I hope it all goes well and turns out interesting and eye-catching! I think Japanese subtitles are definitely a good idea.

[Yumsushi]

I'm moving all this month but if there's no immediate deadline then I think I would really like to participate. I'm in Canada currently, but I discovered Ayu while I was living in the Middle East so please put me down as from Palestine, so Ayu knows that she has Arab fans.

[miki_beland]

omg i'm from barcelona too and the idea of the sagrada familia should be nice xD

[aura~]

^jajaja trobem-nos allà doncs XDD

[miki_beland]

(i tant!)

^ well, we have a lot of time to think on what we can do on the video... I thought my video could start with me playing some Ayu song on the piano and then minivideos of me showing the most beautiful sites of barcelona (with me playing the piano as a soundtrack xD)

lol You showing Ayu Barcelona has given me a bit of inspiration for my video... I could walk around Nashville and show our different recording studios she could record at (I need to find the best one, though), and other nice places as well. Haha.

That could be something a bunch of us could do. In Ayu's TA entry about the fanbook, she mentioned that many of the letters had come from places she hasn't been to yet. Maybe we could all show in our videos the places we live? And say something like, "Ayu, in case you come here one day, you should go to this place!" or something like that. lol.

[Lumine]

I wanna participe too O_O
I think I'm the only one from Peru here T-T plz

[majrakun]

ATTENTION: I want to try make an experiment with my suggestion, about us singing to Who...

Is it possible for any of you to volunteer to this experiment, those who have access to a video cam immediately to record yourself singing Who...? All I need is at least 5 of you, this is still in the trial runs, I'm not even sure if this is going to end in the final cut of the DVD.

What I want in the video is, initially, 1 minute of silence. Just stare into the camera, smile or something. And then, sing the last two choruses of Who...

kore kara mo zutto kono utagoe ga
anata ni todokimasu you ni to
kore kara mo zutto kono utagoe ga
anata ni todoku you ni to

kore kara mo zutto kono utagoe ga
anata ni todokimasu you ni to
kore kara mo zutto kono utagoe ga
anata ni todoku you ni to

ha-a-a-

And just do the adlib til the end of the song. If possible, do an acapella, or at least keep your instrumental on a low volume, or put on your earphones.

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE I will show the final outcome if I get enough feedback, then you can judge! You can PM me with links.

(Oh somebody, please notice this post and respond to it)
