Hey Otaku!

Rehearsal is THIS week, so make sure to get your spot reserved! We currently have 49 sign-ups—on track for a solid rehearsal.

We’ve got to get all of our songs down and ready to record by Japan Day, and we have a robust rehearsal schedule (including free sectionals) to make sure we’re up to snuff. Let’s keep leveling up!

We’ve officially been accepted to Japan Day! This will be our first public appearance as a choir!We'll be marching in the parade and might even have a 60-second performance on the red carpet at the main stage area! Date: Saturday, May 10 (morning)
We need as many people as possible to join us in the march!We’ll be sending out a sign-up sheet soon, so please stay on the lookout for that in your inbox.Our volunteer teams are working HARD to make sure everything is in order. One thing that’s a definite: You’ll need an Otaku Choir shirt.

Special Earth Day Video Project

We're working on a video project—a mix between drama and music video—featuring “The Promised Land” from Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children.

(No spoilers, but the game is all about saving the Planet , so it’s a perfect fit for Earth Day.)

We’ve already cast:

  • Barret Wallace

  • Aerith Gainsborough

  • Heidegger

  • Rufus Shinra

We still need to cast:

  • Biggs

  • Wedge

  • Jessie

  • Random Passerby

If you’re interested, let us know! We’ll also be putting out a choir-wide call soon—we’ll need as many of you as possible.

Shooting will take place in various locations around Central Park. It’ll be fun and super memorable!

Taiko Update – Event is FULL!

The April 6 Taiko Event is now FULL.

We’re currently maintaining a waitlist, and any unpaid RSVP spots will be released to folks on the waitlist on April 1.

The Taiko Dojo is looking forward to hosting us, and I can’t wait to hear the sound of a full taiko class.

Welcome, New Alto Section Representative!

Please join us in welcoming Diana Mente as our new Alto Section Representative!

Diana is a natural organizer and also serves as the Logistics Team Lead for Otaku Choir. We’re so lucky to have her energy and skill helping guide the way!
