Rise and shine, Players! Square Enix has put out some new mission mail for all interested up and coming vocalists! In this month's issue of Audition Monthly, Square Enix has put out a full-page listing, asking for vocalists to audition for The World Ends With You. If chosen, the lucky singer will get to make their debut in a new Square Enix game with music produced by Takeharu Ishimoto!

if this was for a voice actor (and open to the USA), i'd jump on it in a heartbeat.

alas, i can't sing and a singer is what they're looking for. :/

My thoughts summed up right here. Need to sleep.

Sweet babies, that sounds pretty awesome!

Who will be the next chick who sang Tsuki no Akari for FFIII DS remake/singer for FFXIII/other games where SE held auditions for unknown/unsigned singers!

I think it's great that they're giving that lucky individual such a great opportunity *u*

She has a beautiful voice <3

 

[Oracle Spockanort]

Definitely one of my fav talent finds by SE. I remember when they held this audition and they found her and she was like "I didn't even expect to be chosen" and SE was so charmed by her voice and the heart she put into the music. ;A;

 

[Dclone]

I'm in. Now all I need to do is be a Japanese person and move to Japan...

Now, there is no requirement to be of Japanese descent. Just live in Japan. I can think of a few successful artists that aren't Japanese. Monkey Majik comes to mind, and Emi Evans.

 

[Roro]

Haha if only I lived in Japan, and my singing experience were more than just one year in highschool choir or singing random songs when no one else is around, I would nail that audition!

Obviously there's much more talented and qualified people out there lol. I guess good luck to the lucky person who wins haha

Again, you don't need to speak Japanese or be Japanese. Just live in Japan xD Of course you don't live there, but still.

 

[D.D.D]

I wish so badly that it wasn't a 'live in Japan only' audition, because if it wasn't, I'd be on it like cheese on nachos.

I think it's great that they're giving that lucky individual such a great opportunity

I was thinking the same thing. C:

If only I could sing well enough, and if I lived in Japan...

 

[Rydgea]

I love these public auditions Square's churning out. *still needs to audition for FFXIV trailer*

 

[Roronoa Zoro]

So this basically confirms a sequel

 

[zachen]

And this is the day that all the iOS port haters feel like a bunch of idiots.

So this basically confirms a sequel

Not necessarily a sequel, it could be an in-depth spin-off from the first game, a prequel, or an entirely new game. The girl in the photo has resemblances of all the main cast but that doesn't have to mean she comes after them, and the "New 7 Days" doesn't have to mean "new" to Neku and the cast, but new to the players perhaps? However, I would say this confirms a new TWEWY of some sort is in development.

And this is the day that all the iOS port haters feel like a bunch of idiots.

Nope, they are still butthurt that SE didn't directly announce a sequel <__<

Plus meat. Can't forget that. I'd be the Jalapenos on them nachos if it were voice acting. D:

 

[Neko]

If only I were a resident of Japan and could sing! I would do it in a heartbeat. Whoever gets the job is a lucky person.

 

[Chaser]

I hope it's another guy. I love "Three Minutes Clapping" and the male voice in the "Hybrid", "Calling" and "Twister" mash up
