RE: [OOC] The Douglass Gardens Sessions - Bob Schroeck - 09-27-2021 I was updating my notes for What Did You Do, Yui? with info from this thread, and I realized I had a couple song suggestions for the original The Douglass Gardens Session in it. One was "Caramelldansen", which Mio's English voice actress (Cristina Vee) has recorded but which I thought Yui would absolutely love to sing, and "Mindbender" by Stillwater (not the one from the movie Almost Famous, although they provided the name for band in the film) with Giita, of course, playing the role of Mindbender. EDIT: Oh, and I had a link to the playlist for the concert played by the UF version of HTT with The Art of Noise. Because it's formatted and color-coded to and all, I'll just link to it rather than copy it over here. RE: [OOC] The Douglass Gardens Sessions - robkelk - 09-27-2021 The wiki page is still a work in progress, and while an EP doesn't usually have more than four songs, there's no law saying it can't. Add them in! RE: [OOC] The Douglass Gardens Sessions - Bob Schroeck - 09-27-2021 I will, when I get a minute. I just ducked in to mention another name in my notes, someone who shows up at the Roadhouse on that fateful open mike night and joins in on the fun: Eddie Wilson. I wonder if the girls could convince him to release an EP, too, since everyone and his dog is doing it. <grin> RE: [OOC] The Douglass Gardens Sessions - robkelk - 09-30-2021 (09-25-2021, 04:05 PM)robkelk Wrote:(09-24-2021, 04:39 PM)robkelk Wrote: For Jun, there's an embarrassment of riches.

Yes, they're special - they're identified by their own names instead of their bands' names. Out here in real life, I'm getting some "Springsteen live" vibes from this one. It's a shame I had to crop it square; that lost the "tight spot" effect. (See it here or here.) In-universe, if anybody's going to use Japanese characters for her name on the album, it's going to be the person who insisted the group be called "Hokago Tea Time" instead of "Afterschool Teatime". Food for the Soul (smaller).jpg (Size: 33.98 KB / Downloads: 212) In-universe, since Ui plays both guitar and keyboards, Nao got her to lay down all of the tracks on her EP, forsaking percussion in order to make this a truly solo album. And at least her jacket says "Wakaba Girls", even if the album cover doesn't.)

An extremely limited release, for just the band members, Nao, and anybody who purchased all of the Sessions.) RE: [OOC] The Douglass Gardens Sessions - robkelk - 10-27-2021 Next album cover? (ducks, covers) EDIT: Fine, fine... how about this one instead? RE-EDIT: Official art for the cover of HTT's outtakes album. Just a few things they cleaned up from the earlier releases.

Of course, Sakura misses the message in the song selections. (09-24-2021, 04:13 AM)Labster Wrote: Source of all of these is Danbooru; I have higher resolution versions I'll upload to the wiki. I didn't see these on the wiki yet. Should I upload the copies posted here, and let you overwrite them with the higher-resolution copies later? RE: [OOC] The Douglass Gardens Sessions - robkelk - 10-28-2021 We don't have a "Yui and Ui" album yet... but we might get in trouble if we just used this cover for one. RE: [OOC] The Douglass Gardens Sessions - robkelk - 12-24-2021 So, does Nao produce live shows? pixiv image RE: [OOC] The Douglass Gardens Sessions - Dartz - 02-07-2022 Just a thought. An evil, horrible thought. A name for a band, maybe? "L.A. Blues Girls" (King of the Land of Going to Far) RE: [OOC] The Douglass Gardens Sessions - Bob Schroeck - 02-07-2022 (12-24-2021, 05:44 PM)robkelk Wrote: So, does Nao produce live shows? Why not? EDIT: Of course she does. She ends up taking an impromptu open mike performance at the Roadhouse and turning it into an album, after all -- the HTT^2 - Live at the Roadhouse mentioned elsewhere in this thread. RE: [OOC] The Douglass Gardens Sessions - Bob Schroeck - 02-19-2022 So... would having Ritsu do a cover of Shiny Toy Guns' version of "Puttin' On the Ritz" be too much of a cheap gag? RE: [OOC] The Douglass Gardens Sessions - Labster - 02-19-2022 It would only be cheap if she performed in the Kremlin. That has lots of synth so you’d need Komugi too. Doesn’t even have an octave of range in that song, does it? Find the right key and even a backup like Ritsu will be fine. L RE: [OOC] The Douglass Gardens Sessions - robkelk - 02-25-2022 Just listened to the ending-theme CD for Princess Principal. The B-side track, "Shoot Your Heart Out!" is so '50s-bubblegum-pop J-pop that I can't help but imagine Yui singing it. (On the off-chance somebody decides to use that song somewhere: "Shoot Your Heart Out!", performed by Ayaka Imamura, Akira Sekine, Yo Taichi, Akari Kageyama, and Nozomi Furuki; lyrics by Konnie Aoki; copyright © 2017 Princess Principal Project) RE: [OOC] The Douglass Gardens Sessions - Labster - 03-21-2022 If HKK ever feels like branching out to other genres, here are some potential album covers: gothic lolita dresses metal Lordi parody RE: [OOC] The Douglass Gardens Sessions - robkelk - 03-22-2022 (03-21-2022, 11:13 PM)Labster Wrote: If HKK ever feels like branching out to other genres, here are some potential album covers: They wore a mix of Lolita styles for their performance of 'Don't say "lazy"' (ending credits of the first season), so going Gothic Lolita isn't much of a stretch for them. It would have to be one of Mio's songs, though, not one of Yui's. * robkelk looks at image Too much skin showing to be authentic Lolita -- they're cosplaying. Which is okay for an album cover.

RE: [OOC] The Douglass Gardens Sessions - Black Aeronaut - 03-31-2022 I just had one of my batshit-crazy ideas. Life at Douglas Gardens sounds pretty tame. Mayhaps they could do with a bit of good-natured mayhem? The nice part is that they're fictional characters, complete with fictional stories behind the music. Just a little something to consider. If you do pull them in, though, we could have it that they're somehow summoned when, during the St. Valentine's Eve Massacre, Benjamin starts rapping their song, Clint Eastwood... And really, it would fit pretty well, given that situation. I mean, look at these lyrics and tell me that ain't Ben to a 'T' at that moment... I ain't happy I'm feelin' glad I got sunshine In a bag I'm useless But not for long My future Is coming on...

RE: [OOC] The Douglass Gardens Sessions - Bob Schroeck - 03-31-2022 ... I am stunned with the audacity of this idea and want to subscribe to your newsletter. Yes, definitely. The musical cross-pollination it'll produce... oh my. RE: [OOC] The Douglass Gardens Sessions - Black Aeronaut - 04-04-2022 Well then! Allow me to leave you with something to help things along. The audiobook that tells the fictional tale of how the Gorillaz came to be: Rise of the Ogre. Oh, and something to keep in mind. Noodle be a growin' girl. This promotional video from Jaguar featuring Noodle lets you see how she is in 2016. https://youtu.be/bSqPj3gdBBw?t=75 Uhm yeah. She's gonna be turning heads, and for more reasons than one or even two. At least with that kind of vivacity and ability to kick ass and take names (she was originally the product of a super-soldier project), she'll fit in just fine if placed among the Hong Kong Cavaliers. RE: [OOC] The Douglass Gardens Sessions - Bob Schroeck - 04-04-2022 And no one in the Cavaliers is going to blink at a name like "Noodle". I like it. Meanwhile, what happens when the guys behind Gorillaz decide to investigate strange rumors coming out of NJ? A story idea, tht's what. <grin> RE: [OOC] The Douglass Gardens Sessions - robkelk - 04-04-2022 And once they do show up, somebody will make the obvious joke about this having been a movie - "Gorillaz in the Mix(tape)". RE: [OOC] The Douglass Gardens Sessions - Bob Schroeck - 04-05-2022 <rimshot> And there we have the title of their EP from the Sessions. RE: [OOC] The Douglass Gardens Sessions - robkelk - 04-08-2022 While looking for something else, I found this piece of official art. My immediate reaction was "Okay, what's Rei doing that's so awesome?" Then I remembered that, at least in Sailor Moon R, Rei sings as well as Sumire Kanzaki does. So... Rei has to do a live show (in order for the others to be her audience) for a Douglass Garden Session, with Hokago Tea Time acting as session musicians for her. RE: [OOC] The Douglass Gardens Sessions - Black Aeronaut - 04-09-2022 Well, that really comes as no surprise because the anime version of Rei wanted to be a singer and an actress. RE: [OOC] The Douglass Gardens Sessions - robkelk - 04-09-2022 One OnNaGumi EP cover down, three to go... if only there was suitable art of them anywhere. Background Music.png (Size: 245.72 KB / Downloads: 43) As I said on the wiki, "It took more work to convince Sachi to record an EP than it did even to convince Nodoka to record a disc... and she still ended up going last." EDIT: And I did some tinkering with the wiki page for the Douglass Gardens Sessions, including slipping the HTT^2 album onto the list. All dates are tentative depending on when certain events happen in Bob's story - what I have on that page are guesses. RE: [OOC] The Douglass Gardens Sessions - robkelk - 05-10-2022 I wouldn't dream of suggesting this crop from official artwork as a Bonus Session disc cover... because I was awake when I thought of it.
