Since I already mentioned it before, here's the information on our second Batch release.
We actually wanted to have this one for January, but things came up, a script was stubborn, and it took me forever to find the errors.
I tell you: trying to adjust scripts by other typesetters, especially if you do not write your own effects with the same program, is nerve wracking, seriously time consuming and drove me nuts.
What really made this batch release taking so long was "Haru no Arashi". It was previously done by one of our new typesetters, that came and went within 2 or 3 releases - Meyouu.
I really had no idea about template karaokes n stuff before that, but during the past 3 weeks I actually learned a lot, and also realized - it's not my program of choice!
I love you asscalc!
Anyway! This Mano Batch includes the following singles:
Otome no Inori
Hajimete no Keiken
Sekai wa Summer Party
Kono Mune no Tokimeki wo
Love & Peace = Paradise
Haru no Arashi
Onegai Dakara…
You will especially enjoy the last one "Onegai Dakara", because it was encoded in all it's 60fps splendor and looks like you can dive into the video and touch her face. I was seriously drooling over this video when I saw the encode...I think I freaked out SC quite a bit right there.
The good news with this batch is, that we still had all the scripts up until her 7th major single. We will also do her 8th and 9th single at some point - we even kept the BR raws for that and have scripts waiting - but the sad news is, that we will probably drop her after that. I didn't much enjoy her latest 2 singles and I'm not going to force them on me, or SC for that matter, since he's not the biggest fan of her anyway.
Okay, that's it for now.
The next Batch-torrent will be out early next month, if everything goes according to plan. Stay tuned!

Batch BR Releases #1
Hey there everyone!
I think I forgot to talk about a few releases that came out in the past month from H!F, so here we go.
Late last year UFA released the BLUray DVDs for most PV singles of their affiliated groups, especially Hello!Project. Since we do like us some BR quality, we, SC and I, decided that we'd release our old videos in the new and shiny BR resolution and quality. And that's what we did.
Since we do not have all the scripts to all the songs anymore (okay, honestly, we mostly still have those that I worked on personally, but not the ones that other Typesetters did) we decided to grab those videos that we still had scripts for and release them in a batch.
But since adjusting scripts can be time consuming, and we try to find any mistakes that we previously overlooked, this took us longer than we thought.
Our plan now is to release the videos in Batches according to groups (C-ute, BerryZ, Mano, Morning Musume). Since we never worked on any Smileage related videos we'll skip on those.
That said, our first Release Batch was C-ute.
The Batch Torrents includes remakes and adjusted scripts for the following Singles:
Edo no Temari Uta II
FOREVER LOVE
SHOCK!
Campus Life ~Umarete Kite Yokatta~
Aitai Lonely Christmas
Kiss me Aishiteru
The highlight in this batch was definilty "Kiss me Aishiteru" since this is a new release, that we never released previously. It is also the first finished project of one of our new typesetters. He's unfortunately kind of slow, but he is thorough, which is why it takes some time but the end product is really enjoyable.
'Nough said for today.
Please enjoy this Batch and look forward to our next one (which is Mano Erina and should be out today).

Saiunkoku
Yay!!
Yesterday morning my friend, that has been staying here for the past 3 weeks, left and I was finally able to get my apartment back to myself, which also means I was able to get some work done!
I was glad to have someone stay over, but what was first planned out as a 1-week stay turned into a 3-week stay. It was okay - we had lots of fun here, had a lot of different things to do and everyday something new to eat or had friends over - but since we couldn't be alone at all, it was also rather hard on both of us. I didn't think it would turn out this hard to be together with someone for 3 weeks. I guess I was used to being alone and getting stuff done in my own time. What made it really hard was probably that he was sleeping in my living room and I couldn't enjoy my TV, or work at whatever times I want. BUT, it's fine. I had fun, and I know I'm not going to see him for a long time now.
Oh well.
So, I was able to get one project done today. It's Saiunkoku Monogatari Opening and Ending. It turned out quite fine. I actually had everything uploaded when I decided to change something again, so I had to upload an Ending Version 2 right afterwards.
I hope my client will love it.
I guess I'll give you an update and screenshots whenever I get an okay.
So for now that's it.
I guess I'll see you all again soon!

Hey there, everyone! Did you see the few changes I did to my page?
I haven't been doing a lot of fansubbing stuff lately. I currently have a friend staying over until he is done with his Masters, that's why I'm not really around much.
I did add Twitter to this page, so you can now follow me on Twitter and Facebook! \o/
Anyways, thanks for over 10000hits (even though the visitor numbers in the right navi bar are different) on the page. I couldn't believe the number.
Hope to have some new stuff reports for you guys soon! Until then stay healthy and creative!

Christmas & New Years releases!
Sorry everyone! I nearly forgot.
Here's what we at H!F released around Christmas and New Years. After releasing the Shige² concert performance we were up for a little surprise for you guys on the 25th, right on Christmas. We decided to release all the different versions for the second single of MM's kyuuki-members: "Only you".
I have to say it turned out quite awesome. The Font search alone took me several ours, but I think I found the best to go along with the jewelish feeling of the video as well as the effects I wanted to create. YAY for that!!
In total we released all 5 versions of this song, keeping the effects the same, but changing highlight colors to fit the background.
After that, on the 31st, we released the last of our special release spree we had prepared for our followers and friends. This time it was a concert performance from one of our favourite groups (at least from mine). It was one of the few performances those guys had and it was definitly one of the best - both voice and costume wise. We're talking about Zoku v-u-den's renedition of the V-u-den hit song: "Koisuru Angel Heart".
We kept the feather intro of the PV that was released years ago and changed some of the effects.
JUNJUN I MISS YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
As always we hope you enjoy our work and we'll see you back after our hiatus.
See ya!

Happy New Year!
Hey guys!
I wish you all -belatedly- a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
I hope everyone is doing well and had wonderful holidays with your dear ones.
I've been at my grandparents and it was great. We didn't give out any presents this year, but that was fine. We hat lots of fun, a beautiful tree (that I get to decorate each year) and good food and company.
Now the new year started and I've got lots of job applications to write, so there probably won't be a lot of updates for the forseeable future.
I hope that will change, whenever I find a job and have a -not so erratic- scheudule.
I'm also going to update you on the last two H!F releases we put out before New Years. But I'll probably do that tomorrow.
Okay now, folks, I got to get some work done.
Until later!

Hello and Happy Holidays, everyone!
I just wanted to say that I updated my YouTube Account with new clips of karaoke effects that I've released so far. No, they are not in any particular order or sorted a certain way... I just uploaded whatever I have in my clip maker at that moment. (anime for the moment)
Since YT and copyright is bitchy I cut off most of all the video material and start somewhere inbetween lines. That way i can forgo some problems.
I have no idea how long that will work, so go take a look as long as you can!
Have fun and look forward to my next release!

Pink! Pink. Pink?
Hello there! It's time for our weekly release, right?
Well, this week we had a very pink release. Very, very pink!
This is actually back from 2009. We wanted to release it as a special to Koharu's MM Graduation (we did release her signature song: Furusato, from the same concert), but never got around to do it. After that it was part of our trainee program, but that didn't work out either. So I decided to finish it for our Christmas Special, because I know there are still Koha fans out there, even if I'm not one of them.
Either way! Really cute, very pink, and a little emotional.
Have fun with this release and look forward to next week!
There are still at least 2 vids coming out for you before New Years Eve!!!

Bring back the Old School
Hey everyone!
It's been some time. Due to the power outage in some parts of the West Coast we're pretty late in releasing these, which is why they pretty much came out back to back.
So here's what we got for you this time.
We first released this really old concert performance from the H!P '07 Wonderful Hearts Concert. This was at some point a trainee project, but we never found someone to actually work on this. As we're trying to get out the really old stuff now (and since trainees want to work on more recent stuff) and concentrate on the newer stuff later, we're pumping these Old School videos and perfs. This marks the oldest perf we've still got in our work pool.
Combines some of the most loved members into a great Melon Kinenbi song - Kousui.
Sometimes I’m really amazed at what can be found on my HDDs. In some deeply buried folder I found these nifty timings for a song that I have loved since it came out – even though I’m not a big Ishikawa fan.
This marks the 8th single by Country Musume and also the last one they released together with Ishikawa back in November 2002. (Wow, that song is really old!!!)
Unfortunately, since this project is pretty old, and due to a forum crash a few years ago, we lost the information as to who did the initial timings. So, to whoever thinks s/he worked on this for us: we’re sorry!!!!!!
Have fun and as always you can find the video were we always store them ;)

*dances around*
*dances around*
Happy Belated Thanksgiving!
Well, for this occation we've just the right PV to go along with. A slow autumn-y PV with the lovely Mano Erina in front and smileage as background dancers. This was Mano's 4th single and it was also one of the few that we're still missing of her. Now we're only missing the latest PVs. Guess we've still got work to do!
Well enjoy and have a great evening"

Problems'n'Releases
Time for a new blog post!
Lots of stuff going on right now. Though before everything turned upside down and became the utmost chaos I was able to finish a few new PVs and concert performances. So stay tuned and check out the H!F homepage frequently. You'll see our new surprises there soon.
Also, thank you for over 500 followers on our H!F facebook group. We appreciate it!!
Unfortunately that's it for the positive part of this post.
Things happend that turned out quite bad for me. I lost my income and am now living off my saving, which aren't too big anyway.
Unless I find a job very soon it's going to be a nightmare. I'm not sure what I should do and sometimes I feel like crying. But since crying never helps you get back on your feet, I'm trying to stay positive. Not sure what's going to happen in the future.
Wish me luck!

This was an amazing song and it was also one of the last performances that was held by the Rokkies together. If I'm not completely out of the loop Eri graduated a few weeks later.
Ookii Hitomi translates as "Big Eyes" hence the first pic in this capture where they make google eyes for Reina! haha
Stay tuned for next weeks release! And if you can leave us a comment either on the torrent, FB or on our groups Homepage ;)

Creative week
Hey everyone!
Thought I'd post a quick update on things.
I seem to have found my muse again. Finished 4 new projects in 2 days and started on my next one already. All of them are for H!F.
So my German followers should be happy too, because we're also going to have German versions of most of them.
Maybe we can actually finally catch up with SOME groups, but who knows!!

I also finished all of the important anime assignments, Tlc's and translations so far.
Next up are 2 new projects by freebooter-anime. I'm already excited about them!!!!
For now off to bed. See y'all again soon!

Onna ga Medatte...
Sorry for taking so long in updating, again.....!
Here's our latest release. It took us some time to finish this, but it's finally here. I actually had to work on it, because SC asked me to help out on another project - the Keitai Deka The Movie 3 Morning Musume. Kyushutsu Daisakusen! -Pandora no Hako no Himitsu- Movie! It was released on the same day and featured the "Onna ga Medatte Naze Ikenai" song, as well as "Namidacchi" (also previously released by us). Since I already had to work on the Medatte song for the Movie I decided to just work in the whole PV as well. So that's why it's here and done.I'm glad, and I hope you'll all like it. I had to work on some parts using really old methods - like working and positioning letters by hadn. That was something!

WOHOO!! Just finished working on my 6th and last song for Macross the Movie. I hope there's not going to be any more "suprise" vids I have to do.
Working now on a very OOOOOLD Movie Karoake and TLC: Leda (I think the original title is Fantastic Adventure of Yohko: Leda). It's fun so far, even though it's not my kind of movie. But that never really stopped me before, and it's not doing now.
After that I have to finish that Gundam video I've been dreading so far. *sigh* I really don't wanna work on it.
Followed by a movie Karaoke for one of SC's surprise projects. What will it be?! What will it be?

Release spree!
Hello everyone!
It's been some time since last we released anything (that I commented on).
Well, it's time for some new releases. So what will you get in the next few days?
These are the releases that should come to you soon: (If you didn't guess them already from our hints on FB or on my blog)
Concerts:
Takahashi Ai, Niigaki Risa and Tanaka Reina - Take off is now! (MM Concert Tour '09 Haru ~Platinum 9 Disco~) - Awesome version of this song. This marks also the last time this song was performed on stage. I really love it. The dance introduction was great and I loved the distinctive reagge style of this song.
Yaguchi Mari & Yasuda Kei - Otome no Shinrigaku (H!P '08 Winter ~Kettei! Haro Pro Award '08~) - I'm a big Marippe and Kei Fan and this was a project I insisted on and had to coerce SC to work on. I'm glad and grateful that he did so and I really hope you'll all enjoy it too. I still think we need more Marippe and Kei videos! Vote with me here!!!! Marippe looks so cute!!!!! *fangirls*
MVs:
There are going to be other videos then those that I list here, because we got someone else working on other projects. These are the ones, that I've been working on....
Himuro Ibu (CV Sugaya Risako) - Elegant Girl - A really sweet song, that isn't really my style... I actually don't like Risako much, but SC is a big fan and loved this when it came out. ( I remember him talking to me about the awesomeness of this song an hour after it was released.... ^_^) Since our friendship is something that is based on give and take and trust I gave this PV a try and actually liked how my effects turned out. SC loved them, so it was a win-win for all of us. Enjoy this powerful girl song!
Berryz Koubou - Otakebi Boy WAO! - This song was seriously giving me a headache. I really love this song, but it's been lying around for months now because I couldn't figure out how to make the perfect effects to fit this absolutely awesome song (and still make it my own)! Right after this song first came out, and I was next deep in shit, a lot of people released this song on YT and other sites, making it a No-No project for me, as I hate competing with other peoples releases (especially since a few releases actually looked a little like what I had planned for it). After I read some ppls comments about how H!F was getting slow and couldn't keep up and someone or other had to just release this song and not wait for the H!F version I actually put this project on hold. I still think that decision was okay. This video turned out just as I envisioned it back then, and it doesn't look like any of the releases that I was competiting with at that time.
Abe Natsumi - Iki wo Kasanemashou - I've been a secret Nacchi fan for most of her career, but never had the chance to actually work on one of her projects myself. This song turned out to be one of my favourite songs by her and I hope you'll enjoy it too. I love how my effects suit the song. Never had to generate blades of grass before. Huh..! (Did you figure out that the lines sway in time with the beat? That was a bitch to program... Thanks to OJ for his technical help there!)
As always you can get them at the right place (which I'm not going to write here).
Until next time!
