2a) Lyrics

PLEASE NOTE

  • Lyric commissions are a combination of 2 services: Creating natural Japanese lyrics and creating a vocal synthesis file (ex: VSQx) with lyrics filled in ready for you to tune. Prices reflect this fact.
  • I require both background music (in the form of a .wav file) & MIDI notes (so I can input lyrics) for all lyric commissions.
  • Keep in mind that Japanese songs do not follow rhyme schemes/end rhymes like English songs.

ORIGINAL JAPANESE LYRICS BY UNCREEPY: $20

  • If you have MIDI notes, but no English lyrics, I can write original Japanese lyrics for you (which can be based on a title idea, general song theme, pictures, inspirational songs, or simply giving me creative freedom).
  • You will receive a vocal synthesizer format song file with hiragana phonemes already filled in & a document containing the Japanese lyrics, romanized lyrics, & a complimentary English translation.
  • When given creative freedom, I tend to write bittersweet lyrics that contrast the themes of nature, weather, seasons, and time. Please keep in mind it may be difficult for me to write original Japanese lyrics that are extremely peppy.

EXISTING ENGLISH LYRICS TO JAPANESE LYRICS: $20

  • I will make a Japanese version of existing English lyrics. Due to limitations with available syllables & common English phrases having no Japanese equivalent, I will provide a localization rather than a literal translation. Be aware that due to space limitations, it may be possible that a line or two may need to be dropped or combined.
  • You will receive a vocal synthesizer format song file with hiragana phonemes already filled in & a document containing the original English lyrics, Japanese lyrics, & romanized lyrics.

DOUBLE-CHECKING EXISTING JAPANESE LYRICS: $20

  • For producers who have been learning Japanese, but are not yet confident about writing lyrics in Japanese alone and want their work double-checked.
  • You will receive a document containing a detailed analysis of your lyrics.
  • Notes will highlight grammatical/vocabulary errors and explain in detail why it is highlighted, along with translation nuances. I will suggest several alternative ways to say the same thing in order to give you options and to better understand the phrase. I will make sure to explain how to conjugate verbs/adjectives when needed and give tips about using grammar patterns.
  • We will go back and forth discussing the lyrics until they are complete and you are satisfied with the new corrected version.
