Guess That Anime Melody

Guess That Anime Melody

I did this on another forum a while back with some success. The anime viewer base on that forum was somewhat limited though so I thought I might as well try a more popular anime dedicated forum and see how it works out.

CONCEPT

• The concept is rather simple and straightforward.
• Listen to the hint(s) and if you know what the song is post it in this thread.
• The winner will then private message me with the song to use for the next melody and we will continue in that fashion.
• Feel free to discuss any of the songs...

HINTS

• The first hint will be a short section from one of the verses.
• The second hint will likely be the entire first verse or section from the song.
• The third hint will be the chorus, or the most recognizable section of the song. If you are familiar with the song this will usually give it away.
• The fourth hint will be the melody played along side a karaoke or backing track.
• If no one guesses correctly by the forth hint the answer will be given and a new melody will be created by me.
• There will be a maximum of 1-2 days between hints, and a total of about a week allocated per melody to keep things running at a smooth pace.
• My various vocaloids will be doing all the singing of the different hints.

RULES

1. Only suggest anime opening or ending theme songs!
2. No instrumental pieces (even if they are OP or ED songs) or background music.
3. No insert songs. The song must be played at the beginning or ending of the anime to be fair game.
4. Try to avoid rap-like songs, or songs with a lot of speech (and not a clearly defined melody) as they are quite difficult to transcribe.
5. If you guessed a melody correctly recently hold off on the first few hints to give others a chance.
6. Limit wild guesses. Only guess if you are pretty sure you are correct to avoid spam.
7. Only Japanese songs please. My vocaloids don't like trying to sing in other languages.
