Not really - all of my favorite characters are either bosses of other stages or I'd personally see as much more mature sounding than I am (I'm lookin' at you, Yuugi...)  I can give my interpretation for whoever's left anyway and you can just pick the ones that work?

...though I need to get over this blasted cold first ::angryfist::

Well I'm female and I would love to help out with #1. I wish I could help out but unfortunately I lack any sort of way to record my voice.  :(

I'm a female with a way to record my voice, but I'm not sure about the quality. Plus, I really doubt my voice would really be good for anything... I would love to help, though!

I don't have much of a voice, but I am curious about those lyrics.

miso: Yeah, the quality might be an issue. Maybe you can find some guides online to help you get good quality recordings? If you can, let me know and we can go from there.

Ruka: It's on the Touhou Wiki.

Alright, a bit of an update.

I currently have 3 + ? voice actresses for the main text, although the only one from here who is doing this is triangles and I've already told her about it.

But seeing as how there will be an audio CD with the book and now that I've pretty much finished writing the main text, I started to work on making the song lyrics flow better and stuff. I still haven't asked for permission yet, so it's not 100% going to happen, but feel free to look over the lyrics, get a feel for them, ask questions, make suggestions, whatever. I'll ask for auditions fairly soon, probably once I am able to get permission to use it.

The High-Flying Shutter Girl

These are the wings of the crow tengu girl
Who's called the fastest ever to fly
They take the wind and in an instant can
Create a storm no one can defy
 
Justice runs through every single part of her way of life
Everyone knows that she will strike now as sharp as a knife

Only the fastest and the greatest points of fascination for her
To reach the highest of heights, she will beat her wings ever stronger
FLY HIGH
Your speed and skill are the envy of everyone you know, so don't look back
And reduce everything to a blur
 
These are the wings of the crow tengu girl
The reckless whirlwind without a foe
They change the wind so free and easily
These thousand years were not just for show
 
To know the truth, she'll quickly cut away all of the lies
No one can hide, 'cause no illusion can fool these sharp eyes

Now go as fast as you can fly, because you know that you'll find a way
From the point of no return, keep going farther and higher away
FLY HIGH
Everyone's eyes all try to keep up, but they see that you're already gone
Soar up above and over the fray
 
Only the fastest and greatest points for you
Giving it all, going as fast as you can fly too
 
You must take a stand, and force your way through
To know what's ahead is to know your fate
FLY HIGH
Now is the time to accelerate

What are you saying?

This song is supposed to be the "English language song" found in almost every English textbook here in Japan, so I would prefer a native English speaker (or similar) to sing it.

Hmmm.... I remember someone did a half decent Fandub of Bad Apple a while back. Perhaps you could contact her?

Also, you're the one who created NEW HORI-ZUN? Wow...

Anyways, is it possible to sneak a camera into comiket or retaisai and take a video of it? I really wanna see how this sells.

Well, the original vocals for this song were male, so I would like male vocals for this as well. And it would be very hard for me to sneak anything into Comiket, given how much I stand out just by being there.

But seriously, what happened? I had so many people volunteering for this a while back, and now nothing? I guess this might not happen after all.

The singing right? I'm still interested in the sound-studioificated faux-female lines if you're willing to, of course I'm willing to give you some samples first if you like...I don't sing though >=P.

Son, I think the bigger problem is that it's a big public event and people are gonna be all "ZOMG TERRIST THEVES" and searching any sizable bags going in and out for stolen goods and anything else suspicious.

A better question would be "can you ask to bring a video camera" and possibly "how much do you need to buy a camera to bring."

And, I think that most people interested in doing the lyrics are hung up on knowing whether you can get permission to use the song. I'm not exactly a music expert, either, so I don't think I'd be much help getting the lyrics to work for the song...

... speaking of which, a link to the song itself would be good.

I... think I can sing, but I'm very, very bad about actually practicing ever, may not have good recording equipment, and I'd always have my parents somewhere around, so embarrassment is an issue. I might be able to, but I'll probably be unreliable.

Also my voice is really low, so it may or may not have to be shifted down an octave.
There was something here once. Wonder what...

If you aren't opposed to a female vocalist I have someone interested who's pretty awesome at singing.

One of the other voice actresses is also a pretty good singer too, so I would've just asked her. But I wanted a male vocalist and there were at least 5 volunteers on the first page but no one has replied since I put up the edited lyrics. :/
