Updated Project List and Art Gallery


Hi there.

This is Imoristar's blog editor, Nhan-Fiction, speaking.

If you haven't checked out the new project list (now with links to completed videos for your convenience), please do so by clicking here or on the handy dandy picture in the upper, right-hand corner. Imori-chan is always working hard to finish these projects in a timely manner, and she always has plenty of other ideas for around the corner.

If you have a request, please do not be shy about messaging her on YouTube or something. Just please keep in mind that she has a lot of projects already lined up, so it may be tricky to add your request to the list immediately.

Also, be sure to check out Imoristar's fanart page! She is always looking for more fan-drawn pictures of her, so get those drawing materials out! Submit your fan-made art to my e-mail account, nhanfiction@gmail.com, and I can post them right to the page! ^^

Finally, please spread Imori-chan's YouTube videos around by telling your friends. She is such a ☆!

Thanks. Have a super special awesome day. :)

I'M BACK BABY!!!

IMORI'S BACK! AND BETTER THAN EVER!

SPECIAL NOTE: I'm sorry that I haven't been able to be as quick with updating as I used to be. The reason for this is because I'm focusing more on quality. :)

If I haven't gotten to a project that I promised you, I will for sure! Please just be patient with me. ^^

My sudden hiatus angered a few people, but I found it very necessary and I am so happy I decided to do it! So let's share what I've accomplished in the last three weeks since I last posted!

SPECS
- New microphone = finally working! Yay!
- Updated video software.
- Updated audio software.

LYRICS (translated and adapted)
- "Y to Y" lyrics done.
- "Tori no Uta" lyrics done.
- "CANDY CANDY" lyrics done.

EDITING
- "1000 Words" (final mp3) finished.
- "Meltdown" for Ersatz finished.

VIDEOS/SONGS

DOUBLE MELODY!

I was really happy this ended up being my first song, now that I'm back!


LOLI LOLI NIGHT FEVER!

A thank you from Devin and I for 150+ subs!

VOICE ACTING PROJECTS
Nhan-Fiction's Cerule character is starting to take shape and gain popularity!

In the future, she will have:
- A full voice set.
- Makeup tutorial.
- Animation sequence.
- Wiki page.

So yeah!

MIKU ANIMATION PROJECT!*
 

Devin and I saw this online and thought it looked cute ... SO WE DUBBED IT :)

*Translations by me!

VOCAPPEND
My character's been updated! Now I sing as Teto instead of Yuki Kaai.


EH!? AH~SOU!?
Ah Sou basically means, "Is that so?"

A very, very ... interesting song. It was soooo much fun to do! And also, it's my first song as Teto!

ONE OF VOCAPPEND'S BEST CHORUSES!
It featured a lot of us! It's also the last song I'll be as Yuki! Definitely check this one out, please!


I subbed as Meiko in a couple songs as theirs is on vacation. This one I get to do some voice acting, too! :)

It's on my old mic, so it doesn't sound as good. :(

Thanks for everything, guys! Thanks for believing in me! I'll try not to let you down, and I promise to try to blog more often! Hahaha!

Hiatus

Hey, guys!

I'm just announcing a temporary hiatus for the next week or two. Let me just go over the reasons with you, k?

NOTE: I WILL CONSIDER NO NEW PROJECTS AS OF NOW. IN THE NEXT FEW WEEKS, I SHALL HAPPILY BEGIN TAKING REQUESTS AGAIN.
  • My derpy mic situation still hasn't actually been resolved. It will be soon, though, so no worries.
  • New school semester has begun, and I need the next week or two so I can settle in.
  • Project list has become too long (I need to start catching up with these lists and plan some actions, mainly for duet lists).
  • Many Japanese lyrics I have not been able to translate due to lack of time. 
  • A lot of friends have been wondering where I've been ... Haha, meaning I've been working so hard on online projects that my offline friends have become worried.
  • Just working on a few life changes, all for the better, to make things easier in the long run.
  • De-stressing! Because I don't want to sound rude, but I have been doing many, many projects between vocappend, duets, translating, mixing for people other than myself, request songs, running my first chorus song, updating my blog, voice acting and so forth ... I'm a little tired. Hahaha, just a little though! Promise!
FINAL PROJECTS BEFORE HIATUS:
(These projects will be done because I agreed to them having a certain release date.)

Vocappend: "Bad End Night"
Vocappend: "Parameter"
Vocappend: Special Project
Phoenix5444: "Safe and Sound" (Chorus Project)

PROJECTS ON THE TOP OF MY LIST AFTER HIATUS:
LoL: Cerule voice acting**
"Ah, Sou" (Devin x Imori)*
"Good Time" (Phoenix5444 x Imori)*
"1000 Words" (Final Release)*
Zepar & Furfur's Theme (Ditsy x Imori)
"Uninstall" (XIUM x Imori)
"Y to Y" (Utsu x Imori)
"Cendrillion" (Ashlia x Imori)

* = indicates almost-urgent importance. 
** = indicates urgent importance.

Sorry for leaving so suddenly! I just gotta get caught up with some things! No worries! See you soon, guys!

Editing

Hey guys! A lot of stuff in the works here, so let's keep you up to date!!!

RELEASED STUFF
Did this one just 'cause I thought it sounded pretty. LOL! Silly reason, but once in a while, I just like to sing something I find really challenging. :)

I also finished this request video.
Original lyrics translated by Nhan Pham, the editor of this blog. He requested me to make this song a reality quite awhile ago, and I finally got around to doing it.

IN THE WORKS
- KUU is currently editing our version of "Ah, It's a Wonderful Cat Life."
- MaidenMissKey is currently editing our version of "Lacrimosa."
- Michiri is begining the work for "Butterfly on Your Right Shoulder."
- KuribohSquid is editing Phoenix's version of "The Yacht Club."

LYRIC EDITS
- Working on lyrics to Durarara!! (Ending 1).
- Working on music editing for the Hayate the Combat Butler dub.
- Working on the lyrics to the Yu-Gi-Oh! movie theme called "Make Magic."

NON-MUSIC STUFF
- Hopefully doing a voice acting improv soon.
- Doing a fandub/original contrast video for thedjbrett12. It will be Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's (Episode 69).
- Turned in Yubel audition. Awaiting results.

CHORUSES
I was officially accepted into the voccapend chorus as Yuki Kaai and am now working on my first offical video with the group, which will be an English version of "Mosaic Roll."


That is all for now. :)

Updates :D

Hey guys! Doing some updates for ya! <3

Phoenix's FF9 Abridged was released today. I got to play a small role in it and am honored of course to be part of the video! Phoenix also says he wants me to do bigger roles for him in the future, so I am thrilled!


Also released today was Yu-Gi-Oh! Zexal (ending 3) "Wild Child," as well as a re-release of my dub of Masterpiece, which was taken down recently due to visual copyright infringment. Thanks, 4Kids. LOL.


In the works today:
  • Finishing lyrics for "Butterfly on Your Right Shoulder."
Bye! :)
