J-PopCon 2008!

Hi all! We had a blast at this year's J-PopCon in Valby! We met so many of our good friends from Denmark and we karaoke'd till we dropped, till over 4AM on Sunday morning.

On Saturday we did a little experiment, where we only took one hour of requests and let these finish before we got an hour of new requests. In this way we hope everyone gets a chance to do some karaoke without the machine going up to over 2 hours of material. We think it worked out pretty wel, despite people queueing up for a whole hour! We're gonna try it again some time we think, but make sure we have better places for people to queue. What did you think of this method? Let us know!

When it got less busy we opened up for good, and we karaoke'd till the morning.

We've already found two video's of people singing Soramimi Karaoke. Check it out!





Found anymore cool pix or video's? Let us know!

2008 news

It's been almost a year since our last message online, so here's a little update to let you know that Soramimi Karaoke is still alive and kicking in 2008!

Firstly, we had succesful Karaoke nights again in Holland at this years Animecon in Almelo, in May, at the Chibicon in Utrecht in July and last weekend at the succesful Abunai convention in Zwolle. It was all great!

Secondly, the volunteers of Soramimi are happy to welcome Hugo, Power2All (Jasper) and Joost to their ranks. Now the crew is 7 strong, and we were even able to do the Abunai con without our 'founding father' Ryo there. With almost 1000 songs in the database, Soramimi is stronger than ever.

To give you some tastes of how Soramimi has done, here's some Youtube clips of this year.



Here's Power2all singing his heart out on this Beserk tune during Abunai 2008.

We hope to have a special surprise for some of the foreign fans for the end of this year, to be showing up at a special convention! As soon as we know more, we'll let you know!
