Good day, ladies and gent-men!

Now, as you know, Kevin Eva (sega community manager, a.k.a ArchangelUK) is hosting his yearly 'karaoke' competition called Wrecks Factor on his fansite. Those of you will remember, me and TRiP crashed the show in 2007 with our remix of Dreams Dreams that ended up winning and caused a bunch of controversy in the process, lol.
We missed last years show however this years 2009 one seems quite interesing indeed.

Read more details of the competition --> here.

So, this years gimmick is to take a piece of music from a SEGA game and write lyrics to it. Well, NiGHTS has a bunch of tunes with no lyrics over so grab yourselves a microphone, write some lyrics in time with the music and record it.
Looking for recording software? Grab Audacity from here --> Audacity Recording Software

2007's competition had only me and TRiP enter from the NiGHTS fanbase. This year, i think we should all just bloody go for it. It's not based on just singing, they wanna see creativity. You don't need to be a singer to have fun, just jump in and get on with it, lol. It doesn't even have to be NiGHTS related, just something from SEGAs catalogue at least. NiGHTS is just a suggestion, my track won't have anything to do with NiGHTS ...sorta, lol.

So, quit hiding behind those screens, grab yourselves a tune from a SEGA game and write and record your lyrics over it.

Nothing is won for doing this, it's just a bit of fun. And it's the time of year to have fun too. So all the more reason to join in.

Again, all details on the page. Get involved. There needs to be more NiGHTS fans taking part in this thing. WE NEED TO REPRESENT, yo XD

There's no proper instrumental for Dreams of an Absolution, so I'll probably be doing something NiGHTS-y if I do anything at all.

This is awesome. Trying to work on NiGHTS and Reala ~Theme of a Tragic Revenge~. A tad difficult, but the first...15 seconds have lyrics now. @_@ *reads actual rules* (Yes, finally did. :P) Huh... :3 Time to look up some Latin or Japanese. If I get the lyrics just right... Huh. Heh heh heh. Oh wait... Do we have to choose a song from the list? O_o If so, I'll just keep working on N&R ToaTR for myself. X3

Oh man. Now I'm running through my SEGA MP3 library (4 gigs and climbing) looking for anything that needs lyrics. OutRun? Daytona? Scud Race? Super Hang On? Yes, I doubt I'll be doing a NiGHTS-related entry. There's no need for me to ruin your eternal enjoyment of our 1996 classic instrumentals with what equates to a metal-head singing into a mic while breaking it open and lighting it on fire.

We'll see what I can [not] come up with!

In reply to SmashQueen, no you don't need to do a song from that list but it has to be a SEGA game.

As for it being a NiGHTS song, i only suggested that since you're all NiGHTS fans in some shape or form but go and do whatever you like as long as the song you're recording to is a SEGA one. My track isn't even about NiGHTS though has an element or two thrown in there, yeah.

Just take part and have fun :)

Thanks DiGi. :) Now if I can only figure what to put instead of "in the nights, dream delight" nearing the end. :P Ah well. Got a few ideas. >_>

Tempted... to write something for "Suburban Museum", since it's my favourite NiGHTS track. But lyric writing is not my forte, and I'm not sure which version of the song I'd use... Normal or the "cheery" version. Hmm.

Oh man... The good news: I got the lyrics done for the track I chose, beginning to end with room to (quickly) rest here and there so the person singing isn't too winded. The bad news: It's a layered song with whispers sometimes in the background and there are times the lyrics clash. T_T I like what I did, I'm not changing it, but there's no way I can enter the song without mad editing skillz and peace.

Good luck to everyone else. :D

Edit: By "clash" I mean that one line ends and at the same time another starts with the ending/beginning words said at the nearly the same time..

Well, i managed to find time to get my entry in. "DiGi Valentine - Mystic Cave Pirates (Teezy Mix) feat. Wizeman Di Wikid" has appeared! XD

I do hope those of you who were interested in this have sent your songs in. It should be nice for us NiGHTS fans to get involved in things like these.

Deadline is December 20th
I encourage you all to take part, it's a little bit of fun. Hell, i've only entered because i really wanted to do the song, the lyrics i wrote for this i'm quite pleased with :D

  • Interests:I love well-made fanart, drawings and well-written fanfics. I adore people who can be creative in a beautiful way (good artists, writers, singers etc). I like various anime shows, mostly shoujo and maho-shoujo. I also like reading books of fantasy-writers (Andre Norton, Phillip Pullman, Gart Nix etc). I like listening to rock or folk-rock music. I also love various pretty shiny things. I myself write and draw various fan things from time to time. And yes, I also love sleeping, dreaming and being lazy.
Damn, even though I can't sing, I REALLY want to enter *___* No NIGHTsy lyrics yet, but I've got a whole bunch of Sonic ones (I wonder if I can persuade sis into this?)
