TYERecords: Birth of Song

"Take your Way"

"Jefferz, Have a great at school today!", That's all I heard from my mom as I ran out the door. Hey, My name is Jefferz, I'm your average 16 year old. I recently moved to Sapporo, Japan because of my mom's bakery. But I'm excited for the new school life I'll have at Tsuki Umi Highschool. But in the past, I never really fitted in because... I would sing English covers of my favorite anime. But that's all behind me now! From now on I'll be a normal high school student!

"Uh, Okay Class, We have a new student today. Would you please introduce yourself", I faced a class of about 25 students, taking a deep breath, I introduced myself. "Good Morning, My name is Jefferz KM, Pleased to meet you." As I walked to my sit, I could hear students whispering, "He's cute!... He looks like a soccer player...". This is a great start to my new high school life! I sat down next to a girl with black hair covered in glitter. She was only looking out the window and tapping a lollipop on her desk. "She's not even wearing the school uniform design correctly". She wore the normal black Sailor Fukui but she also wore a green hoodie and pink high tops. She seemed to be in her own world, listening to whatever music came from her earbuds. Suddenly I heard a familiar tune slipping through her lips. "🎵Opposite, dominant, confident, prominent, competent, fortune So surreal, appeal, too ideal, how I squeel, the feels in my heart", Could that be!? Ura Omote Fortune!?

For the rest class, I could only stay shocked at her vocals, It was on point with the song. Her lyrics were perfectly translated, but wasn't it against the school policy to... Argh! Screw it, I'll just follow her during lunchtime. Soon the lunch bell rung and She quickly ran out of the room. "For a small girl like her, she can run...", I began my chase after her. Running down hallways and stairs, passing by students and teachers, I finally caught up to her. She entered an old, classy building. It seemed to be abandoned. Walking into the building, I was right about it being abandoned but what would a girl like her have to do here? My question was answered by her singing.

"🎵Opposite, dominant, confident, prominent, competent, fortune So surreal, appeal, too ideal, how I squeel, the feels in my heart. The hidden meaning behind the words you say,"Thinking what could you have in store today?", I dream while awake and see.You staring back at me,I start to blush, my dreams, you crush,But still I care so much!🎵"

Following the beautiful medley, I walked up the stairs and turned right. There I found that girl from my class and others students. "That was great Spiral!", I subconsciously walked in and looked around the room. Stacks of papers, CDs, Miku Posters, Anime stuff, and a recording studio. "Ah! He actually came!" She squealed taking off her earbubs. Soon all eyes were on me, "So what's going on here?" I asked backing up. She put on a smirk and jested, "But you already know don't you, Jefferz KM. Creator of the online group, TYERecords!" That Name..I haven't heard in such a long time. "How did you know that, I thought I buried that idea a long time ago!!!" I shouted. She kept that same smile on her face, teasing me, "TYE is a collaborative group which adapt Anime songs into English. Generally we focus on the T.V size length anime openings and endings. Our members have a wide variety of talents ranging from singing to audio mixing to lyrics writings. Not only that-"

"I don't care about that anymore! I just want to stay out of trouble and forget about my past!" I blurted out. "The rules said that there's no singing or voice acting. And my past was horrible because of my hobby!". She shrugged and walked behind another girl with short black hair and red eyes. "Who cares what Ms.Copyright has to say, it's best to 'Take your Way', We were kinda like you back then but now we're not afraid. Plus ✴, if you don't team up with us, Rachellular will like out your cover of Take your Way from Devil Survivor ."

It's there in your eyes, now I see. I know I can change if you're with me. Though i never believed, the words that you'd say, "The world can be changed if you pray for the new today", As she played the song out loud, I thought to myself, "Shit! She has to many cards out in front of me!"

"Fine..I'll team up with you". She lit up excitement, hugging Rachellular from behind.

"Okay Then! Hello, I'm Spiral! I've loved anime before I even knew that was what it was actually called and I've loved to sing way before I loved anime. My love of writing and singing are always put to the test here, which is probably why I love this group! As well as singing and writing, I also love making crafts and voice acting whenever I can. So please enjoy all of my lyrics and all my sing songs as well as all the awesome covers by all our wonderful members!"

That Rachellular stood up and bowed, "Hi! I'm Rachelle. I absolutely love singing and anime so putting them together is the perfect combo! I was the winner of AX Idol Singing in 2011, which was probably the true start to my anime singing career. I love watching current anime that airs in Japan and seeing what is new and popular. A lot of my song suggestions are newer songs. I hope you enjoy my covers!"

A dark Boy with dark brown hair and glasses waved at me, and greeted, "Sup all, I'm Dizzy. I love to sing-ah. About moons-ah... And stuff. I've been singing forever, but really got serious about it about 4-5 years ago. I play bass, and have played for a couple of bands here and there. I'm all about philosophical anime and anime that leaves you with a weird feeling by the end of it. Gimme an anime with an epic opening, and I'll watch it, hands-down."

Finally, A Girl with....Neko ears and tails blushed and began to stammer, " Um! What do I say!?..Hey there! I'm Saki! I'm a youtube singer known as sakiseshy, mostly singing Vocaloid songs, but sometimes I sing anime op's or ed's! I'm so glad to be a part of TYERecords with all these amazing singers! I'm pretty down to earth and I absolutely adore cats! :3 I'm a pretty friendly person so I promise I don't bite!"

Okay... wow.."Yo, I'm Jeff and yeah sadly, I'm one of the founders of the group. I've loved singing, mixing and anime for quite some time and when I spoke to a few friends about possibly doing a project that incorporates all those things, the group got it's start", Spirals eyes shined with hope. "Lets do our best together to get members, Jefferz-Senpai!"

I could only nod for I, Have lost my Normal School Once Again.
