Myu Idol IV Rules & Notes
Rules
- You MUST enter with a valid e-mail address. I will send you your contestant number and any communication to this address.
- Entries must be labeled as yourname_category#_songtitle.mp3 (for instance cookie_category1_lasoldier.mp3)
- All songs must be submitted in MP3 format.
- You can either mix yourself with a karaoke version, record accapella, or record with the original song in the background. If your voice can not be heard CLEARLY over any original vocals, your entry will not be accepted. If this happens, you may record all of your songs again and send them in. Also, you may use our mixing service if you must.
- Multiperson songs are included. These songs may only be used if you record ALL parts. (for example, you can't just sing Usagi's part in "Tabidachi"). I do not recommend singing anything more than a duet, but the option is there. If you can't record a duet, then don't choose one. Backup parts are not needed on songs with obvious solo parts (like Galaxia Gorgeous or Yami Koso Utsukushii) If you're unsure as to whether a song you've chosen falls into this rule, ask me.
- If you chose to sing a group song (such as Chikyuu iro wa Salad Time or Everlasting Moonlight) you are only required to do a solo for the entire song. You do not have to sing the harmony, etc. You can choose to sing it if you wish.
- This is a single person competition. Pairs and groups are not eligible.
- Your songs must be chosen from the category lists for each round. You can not pick and choose. If you ignore the category lists, your entry will not be accepted. You may redo your entry if this happens.
- Please do not do multiple versions of the same song ("Sailor WAR!" & "Sailor War! 94", "Tabidachi" & "Usagi to 4nin no Zureru Omoi", etc.) If you're unsure as to whether songs you've chosen fall into this rule, ask me.
- You must send all NINE of your songs when you enter. This is to keep the competition going continuously and to prevent voting issues in the future.
- Redone versions of a song may be turned in the Saturday before that song would be on the website (if you are using the mixing service, a fully mixed version must be turned in two Saturdays before the round it will appear in).
- Anyone who participated in Sera Myu Idol, Myu Idol II and Myu Idol III may enter with the exceptions of the Manya, Serori, Krissy, Song of Amazon, Tamuma and Enkai - The Winners and Runner-Ups respectively.
- All entries must be received in their ENTIRETY by June 1st.
- Vote for the person you want to GO and not your favorite
- Contestant names will be revealed at the end of competition or when they leave. (Exit interviews will be held if the contestant is willing)
- Because of contestant anonymity, each contestant will be given a temporary user name for this BBS for the duration of the competition so they can still participate in the discussion if they wish.
- If there are a large number of entries, the first round or two will be semi-finals (Round 1 - Group A as one poll, Round 1 - Group B as another, etc.)
- The 9 songs will be divided into 7 or 8 rounds depending on the number of contestants. The last round(s) will have 2 songs per contestant.
Notes
- Voting normally runs from Saturday at 12 PM EST to the following Sunday at 12 AM EST. There may be slight changes due to Diana's crazy schedule. Some changes may be unannounced, so please bear with us. Diana will try to arrange to have someone else update the site if she will be unable to for any period of time.
- I will gladly let you sing songs in a different key if you can mix it or sing it fine. HOWEVER, Diana will NOT mix anything for you that is not in the same key as the original song.
