SEIYUU LOUNGE

In this episode, you and I will be talking about Japanese mobile game development, especially 2D music games, and the costs associated with creating games like Uta no Prince Sama Shining Live, IDOLiSH7, and Hypnosis Mic Alternative Rap Battle.

You and I will explore the reasons why some 2D music games can be expensive to make, including factors such as high production values, voice acting costs, and localization efforts. 

Finally, I’ll talk briefly about the current trends in Japanese mobile game development, as well as opportunities for innovation and growth in the industry - which may raise even more the costs of creating 2D music games.

In the previous episode you and I talked about acapella music, its origins, how unique it is in comparison with popular music, and which techniques acapella singers must master, to turn them into powerhouse singers.

Now it’s time to talk about the 2D music project that is betting a whole lot on acapella music, and is yet to have a rival project stealing away its thunder, aoppella!?

We’ve got all types of music, from more intense to minimalistic, overly produced or natural performances, and all types of singing voices from male seiyuu. There are so many awesome voices out there and every day, more and more seiyuu join the industry flaunting beautiful or powerful voices and awesome techniques to boot.

But have you stopped for a bit to notice that we seldom have opportunities to enjoy listening to our favorite singers among seiyuu just…sing without distractions?

That’s where acapella music makes its big entrance.

April Fools'.

The day in which male seiyuu tend to go a bit crazy or insanely creative for their own amusement.

There are male seiyuu that love to spread chaos and announce important things on this day, there are others that embrace an elaborate persona they created just for this day and then…there are those that are easily caught in their April Fools' pranks.

With April Fools just around the corner, let’s check the times in which some of your favorite male seiyuu perhaps took things a bit too seriously or even went all out to fool us all.

Seeing as this year has kicked off rather slowly for fans of male seiyuu artists, you'd be mistaken to think the rest of the year will be as uneventful.

Truth is, 2023 has the potential to become a year to remember given how many high-profile male seiyuu artists and bands have yet to release a full-length album or it has been a while since they last released a full-length album.

In this episode let's go over 10 CDs that will probably be released in 2023 and 1 CD that is already confirmed for a release.

Dreamy soundscapes, beautiful vocals, and some of the coolest and most chill songs you will ever hear.

This is how I describe the music composed by zakbee and Leeep, the composers you and I are going to talk about in this episode.

This time around I put in the same episode composers that have actually collaborated in the same 2D music projects, sometimes, even composed music for the same groups.
